While we take time to celebrate the American worker this Labor Day, The Press looks at trends in the manufacturing sector, including interviews with local business owners, economic development offi cials, educators and others who see a resurgence in the sector.

Also in this special section, Joel Joseph, chairman of the Made in the USA Foundation who was instrumental in getting the American Automobile Labeling Act passed, offers a list of products made in the U.S. for consumers to consider. We’ve also included a list from some local retailers. We hope you fi nd some value in this special package of stories and we wish you a happy Labor Day.

The Regional Growth Partnership saw 11,526 jobs created or retained in North-west Ohio during 2012, which equates to $1.7 billion of investment, says Gary Thompson, RGP vice president and direc-tor for JobsOhio Northwest Ohio Region.

Within the 17 counties of Northwest Ohio that Thompson oversees, the RGP completed 90 manufacturing projects. In Northwood, Johnson Controls in-vested $3 million for an addition to its existing building and Fed Ex Freight con-structed a new $15 million facility on the city’s west side. In Oregon, Oregon Clean Energy is committed to hiring local contractors and union labor to build a new plant, which will be located on a 30-acre parcel on N. Lallendorf Road. Oregon Clean Energy has

an option on an adjoining parcel if there is a need to expand the plant in the future, he said. Developers of the planned natural gas-fi red electric power plant expect to start to the construction of the $860 million project by the spring of next year. A construction schedule of 32 to 34 months is likely, will require 475 to 525 workers and about 1.5 million worker hours. They expect the plant to be opera-tional by May 2017. In Troy Township, a new project was announced in a sister sector to manufactur-ing — retail distribution. A plat to establish a new road and dedi-cate additional right-of-way along Pember-ville Road in Troy Township for public use has been approved by the Wood County Planning Commission for a Home Depot warehouse and distribution center. According to JobsOhio, Ohio has emerged as one of the top job creators in the nation over the past two years with companies committing to invest more than $13 billion. Ohio’s unemployment rate is below the national average and lower than

Jerusalem Twp. appeals ruling on fi re chief By Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

Jerusalem Township trustees on Wednesday voted unanimously to appeal a recent court decision to reinstate ex Fire Chief Harold Stanton to his former posi-tion. Trustees met with the township’s attor-ney, John Borell, of the Lucas County pros-ecutor’s offi ce, to consider their options at a special meeting on Wednesday. “We simply discussed with our counsel what are options are at this point,” Trustee Joe Kiss said after the meeting. “We weren’t sure we were going to make a decision to-day, but after speaking with our counsel for over an hour, we decided to appeal the judge’s decision.” Stanton fi led a lawsuit against the town-ship after trustees fi red him on March 19 for allegedly permitting an individual who was not a member of the fi re department to ac-tively participate on emergency calls. Trust-ees initially suspended Stanton, who had been part-time fi re chief since 2008, then later decided to dismiss him following a hearing. Trustees had stated in a letter to Stanton that they had repeatedly instructed him to not permit individuals to assist in the fi re department during emergency situations unless they had been lawfully appointed Je-rusalem Township fi refi ghters. “This action is potentially dangerous to the individual, signifi cantly increases the township’s potential liability and violates Ohio law,” trustees stated in the letter. “You have failed to follow the instructions of the township trustees. Your conduct and failure to follow instructions constitutes misfea-sance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, and mis-conduct in the performance of your offi cial duties as chief of the Jerusalem Township Fire Department.” Stanton insisted he never had invited the individual, Jim Gray, to fi re scenes and that he would just show up. He also said he had informed Gray in the past that trustees did not want him responding to calls. Stanton believed his dismissal was po-litically motivated because Gray is the broth-er of former Trustee Joe Gray, whom Kiss was often at odds with when both served on

If the calls to Steve Bialorucki are any indication, business at area machine shops is good. The director of Career and Technology Education at Clay High School, Bialorucki said he is getting calls earlier each year from employers interested in forming internships for students enrolled in Clay’s Integrated Machining and Engineering Program. “Last year, we had about half of the seniors working by Thanksgiving,” Bialo-rucki said, adding that he is noticing growth in medical device manufacturing as well as some segments of the renewable energy manufacturing equipment. Students attend classes in the morning and generally leave for work around 12:30 p.m. Bialorucki said last year he expected all of the June graduates in the program to be working full-time when they graduated and that has proven to be the case as all 20 se-niors are now employed.

Clay’s machining program This year there are 15 seniors and 17 ju-niors in the program. The 2013-14 school year will be the fi rst full school year at Clay with a new computer numerical controlled milling machine that was funded by donations from area busi-nesses. The HAAS VF-1 model was installed in February. Instructor Tony Spallino has logged more than 150 hours of training in different areas of VF-1 operation and related software, Bialorucki said. Requests for funding for the equipment began with phone calls and a letter cam-paign in June 2012. Donors included John Hammill, Jr. of Hammill Manufacturing, $10,000; Bob Milano, owner of Ort Tool and Die, Corp., $5,000; Lester Meyer of Riverside Machining and Automation. $2,000; Steve Elliot from Dugan Tool & Die, $2,000, and BP Husky, which donated $30,000. Area businesses also donated labor and material for its delivery and installation.

regional states. Since January 2011, Ohio businesses have created nearly 150,000 new private-sector jobs. Ohio is nationally recognized as a cen-tral business location that delivers easy ac-cess to customers and supply chains. The state is within 600 miles of 60 percent of all U.S. and Canadian manufacturing. Its world-class transportation infrastructure enables Ohio companies to move goods, supplies and resources cost effectively by road, rail, water and air. “To provide faster and more effec-tive delivery of offi cially licensed sports merchandise to our customers, we chose Ohio as our new hub. Ohio brings forward a highly skilled and dedicated workforce along with a pro-growth business environ-ment. We are excited about the opportunity to expand our business into Ohio.” said Brent Trager, COO of Fanatics, a leading online retailer of sports merchandise. Ohio’s $484 billion gross state prod-uct ranks it 8th in the U.S. and 27 Fortune 500 companies call Ohio home. A strength of the state’s economy is its wide range of well-established, growing industries, including advanced manufacturing, aero-space and aviation, agribusiness and food processing, automotive, bio health, energy, fi nancial services, information technology services, and polymers and chemicals. Development corporation offi cials are hailing this as signs most sectors are mak-ing a comeback.

“I would say at a regional level its im-proving and growing, may be a better word, but I’m sure there are still issues to deal with,” Thompson said. “We’re doing a lot in the automotive sector and we did a fair number of research and development proj-ects, including a couple in glass, a couple in energy, and in food and logistics.

“The other sector that we use the term, but maybe others don’t, is advanced man-ufacturing, and that is people that make consumer goods or sporting goods, indus-trial goods — like Newell Rubbermaid that had a project in Wood County, somebody like Whirlpool in Hancock County that is

making washers, dryers, dishwashers and things like that, and Johnson Controls in Northwood.”

Oregon Economic Development Foun-dation Director Lindsay W. Myers is notic-ing it, too. She has about 700 acres ready to develop, but says that cut be could down to 525 if two projects she’s involved with come to fruition and Oregon Clean Energy begins its construction.

“Since last year, manufacturing and all of its facets — there are so many you can be in — there has been such resurgence,” My-ers said. “It’s great to see because there has always been a push to bringing back those jobs to American soil, which is great for our economy and our local citizens. We contin-ue to see that uptick. We started to see a pick-up in different chemical projects, and while every project that we come across may not come to fruition, and it’s still stay-ing there constant — here comes another advanced manufacturing fi rm and things like that. It’s really exciting to see.

“I’ve seen a pretty good uptick in chem-ical manufacturing, enzyme manufactur-ing, and some of the most obscure sectors that you really would never think about. That’s mostly what I’ve been seeing in our area and in our state, but also in some of the articles I’ve been reading — that’s kind of been the trend. It still seems to be a big focus for American manufacturers to pro-duce as much as they can here on Ameri-can soil.”

Pediatric dentist’s products that make you smile

Local, national press gets involved in promoting area

By Tammy WalroPress Staff [email protected]

It’s something that had troubled Dr. Ste-phen Branam for a long time – despite ad-vances in dental care and an overall decline in tooth decay in the American population, the rate of tooth decay among children un-der 6 continued to spike. A pediatric dentist for more than 30 years, he recommends parents bring their children for their fi rst dental visit at age 1, however, many kids don’t have their teeth cleaned and checked until they’re much older. Often it’s a cavity or other problem that prompts the appointment. “The goal is to make going to the dentist a positive experience for kids,” Dr. Branam said. “If the fi rst visit involves treatment for cavities or an abscessed tooth, that can cre-ate fear and anxiety that can last a lifetime. It’s much better to prevent problems before they happen,” he said. His “ounce-of-prevention” theory led the Oregon dentist to develop a line of oral care products and dietary supplements de-signed to promote dental health and take a

bite out of the growing epidemic of dental decay in kids. His Ortho-Gibby pacifi er, an orthodon-tic teething pacifi er, promotes proper oral alignment and tongue positioning, while soothing and providing teething relief for babies. He developed and patented the de-sign in 1997 after he noticed an increasing number of bite problems, tongue-twist hab-its and ear infections in his young patients – problems often associated with pacifi er use.

While researching for the Ortho-Gibby, he came upon dental research being con-ducted in Scandinavia that intrigued him. “It showed that when mothers used xylitol products for the fi rst two years of their ba-bies’ lives, babies can potentially have 70 percent less tooth decay throughout their lifetime,” Dr. Branam said. Xylitol, a natural sweetener derived from plant and fruit fi bers, has been shown in clinical studies to combat the bacteria that can lead to tooth decay and chronic ear infection. In 2007, Dr. Bramam founded Branam Oral Health Technologies, Inc., with assis-tance from Regional Growth Partnership and Rocket Ventures, a venture capital fund. The company’s mission – to create a line of naturally formulated dental prod-ucts that would provide parents with the tools to protect their families from harmful cavity-causing bacteria. Armed with the research, Dr. Bra-nam began working with scientifi c labs throughout the country to develop the line of products formulated with a rich supply of xylitol from a variety of U.S. suppliers. The products are also gluten free, diabetic

friendly, sugar free and casein free. The line includes all natural tooth gel for babies, toothpaste and chewing gum. They come in fl avors such as Go Go Grape, Yum Yum Bubblegum, Snappy Apple, Tutti Fruitti and Peppermint Kiss. Last year, Branam expanded distribu-tion with products available online and stores across the country, including local-ly-owned natural and health-food stores, and major chains including WholeFoods, Good Neighbor Pharmacies, and Tunies. The company just celebrated its best month ever, with sales of more than $25,000, Bra-nam said, and a new distribution agree-ment will put the products in Stop & Shop stores across New England. The company is on track for $1million in sales by the end of 2014. Locally, they can be found at Branam’s Oregon offi ce, as well as at Walt Churchill’s Markets, Claudia’s Natural Food Market in Sylvania; Health Yourself in Perrysburg, among other outlets. To fi nd a location, visit www.BranamsSmile.com and use the store locator. For more information, call 1-877-327-2626 or visit the website.


When it comes to promoting the area for economic growth, development corporations often look toward media to get the job done.

“One of the things that are new in terms of marketing our area is that we’ve got some pretty good national press lately,” said Gary Thompson, Regional Growth Partnership vice president and director for JobsOhio Northwest Ohio Region.

“The City of Toledo did some things with Forbes magazine and here at the Regional Growth Partnership one of the things we’re continuing is a series in Site Selection magazine, and we’re getting a

lot of good press and good exposure from that,” Thompson continued.

The article in Forbes, titled “China’s Rust Belt Laboratory,” appeared in the July 15 issue. It featured Mayor Michael Bell’s relationship with Chinese businessmen, the area’s history in the glass industry, and the resurgence of the automobile industry. The segment refl ected more on Toledo’s connection to Detroit than it did Ohio.

Wood County has gotten its share of national press, too. When Pittsburgh-based Fourth Economy released the nation’s top 10 small communities positioned to attract modern investment, Wood County was included.

“The ‘fourth economy’ defi nes our nation’s current economy, refl ecting a combination of the previous three: agrarian,

industrial, and technological,” said Rich Overmoyer, Fourth Economy President and CEO. “This new index is intended to serve as a dashboard for community stakeholders to gauge their capacity to attract and retain modern investment.”

“In the midst of many economic challenges, interest is growing rapidly in communities and economic development organizations across the country are effectively responding to the new economic reality,” continued Overmoyer. “We continue to build upon these experiences and we’re eager to launch this next listing of Fourth Economy Community Index.”

Wood County Economic Development Commission director Wade Gottschalk said, “Location is obviously a big part of it, because when you are selling to someone

effectively, they’ve already picked their location. That’s how it works — they pick you more than you pick them.

“We sell the ease of doing business in Wood County, the business-friendly atmosphere that the county commissioners have really pushed forward and the jurisdictions in the county are very business-friendly. We sell the skilled workforce that we have and the high level of work ethic that we have in this part of the country. Those are big selling.

“And, we sell transportation assets and how easily, and in a lot of cases, cheaply, they can move those goods to market or get their goods if they are moving them in from elsewhere, like raw materials for instance.”

Centaur owners see reboundin manufacturingBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

Some area manufacturers are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel as their busi-nesses compete with low-wage countries – China in particular. Jason Faykosh, assistant manager of Centaur Tool & Die, Inc., is noticing a differ-ent attitude among those who are involved in his industry and its efforts to fend off for-eign competition. “In 2001, foreign competition began to hurt this type of industry,” he said. “It was bad for several years because we had trouble competing with China. People are beginning to realize that the quality and durability that they are getting overseas is not what they need for the long run. More and more work is beginning to stay here be-cause of the quality of work that the U.S. can provide.” Centaur, which was founded in 1973 as a small job shop by Paul Faykosh, moved into a 16,400-square-foot facility in rural Bowling Green in 1995. Paul’s son, Jack, is the president and general manager of the company Jason estimates about 70 percent of its business is with the automotive industry, 12 percent with the food industry and 10 percent with manufacturers of household appliances. The company recently designed and built a series of dies used to produce fuel rails for the large truck and automotive in-dustry. Jack sees an improvement in the over-all economic environment for those in his line of work. “Hopefully people are realizing that we cannot become just a service-oriented country and that manufacturing has to be part of this country’s workforce in order for the U.S. to survive. This country was built on manufacturing and we have lost a whole generation of workers who chose not to get into this fi eld of work because there was not enough work – since every-thing was being sent out of the U.S.,” he said. In response to a growing demand for computer numerical control of machine tools, Centaur a few years ago invested in a Mazak CNC machine. The equipment is capable of uphold-ing tolerances to 0.0001 of an inch. The company’s machining services mainly cater to custom tooling applications and can be used to mill an array of materials, includ-ing plastics and glass as well as a variety of metals.

Two models produced by General Mo-tors, the Express and Savana, moved to the top of the list of vehicles with the highest percentage of their content manufactured in the U.S. and Canada for the 2014 model year, according to the most recent listing compiled by the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration. Approximately 80 percent of the con-tent of the two models are made in the U.S. and Canada and both are assembled in the U.S. according to the NHTSA infor-mation. Their engines are made in the U.S. and their transmissions are manufactured in Mexico. The Odyssey, made by the American Honda Motor Co., with 75 percent of it con-tent manufactured in the U.S. and Canada

General Motors’ Express, Savana top US/Canada content list

is third on the list. In addition to being as-sembled in the U.S., both its transmission and engine are made in the U.S. All three models are classifi ed as multi-purpose passenger vehicles. Another General Motors product, the sporty Corvette, also has 75 percent of its content manufactured in Canada and the

U.S. It’s assembled in the U.S. where its en-gines are made. Its transmissions, however, are made in the U.S. and Mexico. The NHTSA reports, compiled through the American Automobile Labeling Act (AALA), are available at the administra-tion’s website for model years 2007-14. The AALA defi nes a passenger motor vehicle as one designed to carry not more than 12 persons with a gross vehicle weight rating of no more than 8,500 pounds. In 2012, Toyota’s Matrix and Avalon, topped the list with U.S./Canada percent-ages of 95 and 85 percent respectively. The Matrix was assembled in Canada and its engine and transmission were from the U.S. and Japan respectively. The Avalon was assembled in the U.S. where its engine and transmission were made. The accompanying chart shows the top 26 vehicles by U.S./Canada percentages for 2014.

There are many ways to promote the area to industrial and retail site consul-tants.

The Regional Growth Partnership went out of the box, holding a three-day event that included a helicopter tour to market the area nationwide.

“Over the summer, we did something that we haven’t really done for 15, 16 years — we had a Familiarization Tour, or we call them ‘FAM Tours,’ said Gary Thompson, Regional Growth Partnership vice presi-dent and director for JobsOhio Northwest Ohio Region.

“We had 10 site consultants that help businesses decide to locate investment into Northwest Ohio, and we took them all over for three days and let them meet companies that were doing expansion projects, so they got to meet people from Marathon Oil, Ow-ens-Corning, Libbey Glass, North Star Steel, and all kinds of places and let them just re-ally talk about issues that make their busi-ness successful,” Thompson continued.

“That really brought a lot of attention here as of late and a lot of inquiries about, ‘Hey, I talked to so and so who attended your FAM Tour, and maybe Ohio is the place to be that I need to start looking at.’”

Dean Monske, president and CEO of the RGP, added, “Site consultants are key targets because they are often engaged by companies looking to expand operations. It is critical that the RGP identify and build relationships with these decision makers.”

Helicopter rideA special highlight for consultants

during the FAM Tour was a helicopter tour over select Northwest Ohio Greenfi eld “mega-sites” in counties, including Lucas, Wood, Fulton, Putnam, and Van Wert. In-formation on the Overland Park Brownfi eld Redevelopment Center (former Jeep site) was also presented. The event ended with some rest and relaxation at the Lake Erie islands in Ottawa County.

“This was a great opportunity for Northwest Ohio to make a strong, face-to-face sales pitch to key decision makers

Helicopter tour a hit with site consultants

who took the time to visit our backyard,” said Thompson. “Nothing like this has ever been done in Northwest Ohio and we be-lieve it was a great success.”

Initial feedback from consultants sup-ported Thompson’s thoughts. In describing the importance for communities in training their future workforce, site consultant Dean Barber made note of the numerous commu-nity colleges linked closely to industry in Northwest Ohio.

“Most of the liaisons and trainers at these community college have industry backgrounds and understand the language of manufacturing. They are not faculty lounge types with no real-world experi-ence,” said Barber, who made the trip from Plano, Texas, where he serves as president and CEO of Barber Business Advisors, a site selection and economic development fi rm.

During the three-day event both Mon-ske and Thompson did their best to pro-mote Oregon, because both are former di-rectors of the Oregon Economic Develop-ment Foundation.

While these type of events can bring in new business, current OEDF director Lind-say W. Myers said seeing local expansion is just as “sexy.”

“We have a couple projects in the cook-er right now that are looking pretty solid and both of them are local expansions, but both would be pretty signifi cant expansion in a manufacturing facility,” Myers said.

“I like to see our local people grow. I love recruiting the outside companies, those are the sexy, new projects that every-one wants to know about, but it’s the local ones that already employ people and then

they are going to add 50 more jobs and do millions more in investment. That’s what gets me excited. It means we’re doing some-thing right.

“We don’t have to sell a local company on why they should stay in Oregon because if they are here, and they are growing, and they are doing an expansion, we don’t need to tell them how great we are. I think they are sold on why Oregon is great. Obviously, their thriving is a testament to that. You know, when you are recruiting somebody, that’s when you have to go into your whole speech about your community.” Reputation for hard work With a labor market of nearly six mil-lion Ohioans, including more than 600,000 manufacturing employees, consultants say Ohio has the dedicated and experienced workforce that companies need for both short- and long-term success.

Testimonials of the region’s acclaimed work ethic really hit home, local consul-tants say.

“I think I had talked to a number of folks at the Center for Automotive Research in Traverse City, Michigan, and all kinds of people from the automotive industry are represented,” Thompson said.

“Every time they found out that I was from Northwest Ohio, (the workforce) was the biggest thing that was complimented. They would say, ‘Hey, we have a plant there and people are productive and show up to work. They do good work.’ If they are interested in making the company better or the business more profi table, I would echo those sentiments.”

The sentiment about the workforce spreads into Wood County.

“I would say for a lot of companies that are competing globally, now, the assets of the U.S. include that we probably still have the most productive and effi cient workforce in the world,” said Wade Gottschalk, direc-tor of the Wood County Economic Develop-ment Commission.

“So in terms of when you get to value added, capital-intensive type of manufac-turing, we are going to have the advantage there, because we have access to the tech-nology and the skills needed to operate that technology,” Gottschalk continued.

The way Lester Meyer sees it; the ma-chining industry hasn’t been able to shed a reputation that hinders attracting quality workers. “People think machining is a dirty job. It’s not. Nowadays the equipment is very high tech. They basically run themselves. What you really need to know here is math. Math is what we do. The trade has just received a bad rap,” explained Meyer, one of the owners of Riverside Machine & Automation on the outskirts of Genoa. A workforce of 75 skilled workers con-duct precision work on state-of-the art ma-chinery for everything from the auto indus-try and plastic companies to the military and alternative energy at the 25,000-square foot Genoa plant and its sister site built four years ago in Moline. The second site is strictly an assembly plant where auto sta-bilizer bars are produced for a key client, a Korean company based in Alabama. Across the nation, the average age for machinists ranges around 52. The average at Riverside is about 35. Yet, the pool of qualifi ed candidates dwindles as the de-mand increases, Meyer said. That’s why Meyer, 52, and the com-pany founder Jerry Giesler, 58, take every opportunity to rev up interest by speaking to students at area schools. The two offer cooperative education programs for students still enrolled in high school. That is, students spend half the day at school and the other half at Riverside. They also take on apprenticeships. Those employees work a regular work week while also taking classes at Owens Community College. Starting wage is around $10, with 50 cent increases about every six months. “We pay for all their education as long as they maintain a C,” Meyer said. The pair considers the education pro-grams necessary investments in the future of their company. Riverside is a full func-tioning machine shop that can design, build and deliver products, using nickel, titanium, aluminum and steel. Employees include engineers, toolmakers, machinists, quality control specialists, truck drivers and salesmen. “I remember when I was back in school the vocational kids were considered the trouble makers, the problems. But voca-tional jobs are important. They are the ones who make the world go around,” Meyer said. As Meyer walks the fl oor of the shop, he points to a Mazak machine focused now on creating landing gear parts for F-37

Riverside Machine serves domestic, international markets

fi ghter jets. A cart next to the work bench of toolmaker Bill Gallagher is fi lled with pieces of steel in various stages of comple-tion. “That’s the cool thing about this indus-try,” Gallagher said tilting one of the com-pleted shiny parts in his hand to catch the lights’ refl ection. “You start with a hunk of steel and it becomes a sculpture.” But little dirt and grime surround the toolmaker. “See,” Gallagher smiled, shov-ing his open-palmed hands out. “They’re clean.” Similar work is diligently and quietly undertaken at a dozen other work benches in the surrounding area as unusually cool August breezes waft through the shop fl oor. A steady hum of voices seems louder than the machines they operate. “The big thing is keeping up with the technology to stay competitive,” Meyer said. And these high-tech shop machines don’t come cheap. One of the next milling machines the company principals have their eyes on will cost about $1.2 million dollars. They hope to buy it sometime in 2014. Riverside began in the garage of Giesler’s Elmore home in 1989. In May 1991, Giesler approached Meyer with a proposition to join him. Meyer, at

that time, was working at an Elmore manu-facturing plant where the two had met in the late 1970s. “He was my fi rst foreman,” Meyer said. Meyer, then a shop supervisor himself at 32, turned him down. Then when Giesler ended up on his doorstep around Christmas 1991, Meyer reconsidered. He admits he succumbed to the sec-ond proposal at his wife’s urging. “I really wouldn’t have done it if it weren’t for my wife,” Meyer said. “She had a pretty good job as a dental hygienist and we were young. She told me to go for it.” And he hasn’t looked back since. “Starting out was time consuming. It was 12 hour days. I worked 12 hours. He’d work 12 hours. We worked Saturdays and Sundays for weeks. It was tough … but if it hadn’t been Jerry, I wouldn’t have done it. He is more the shop guy.” The two ended up striking a partner-ship with JBI of Genoa, which is how their business landed at the current building site at 1240 N. Genoa-Clay Center Road. That deal broke up a while later and JBI moved to a new building along State Route 51. Riverside’s prosperity, in fact, can be credited to the great team relationship forged over the years between the co-own-

ers. Their personalities complement one another. Meyer likes to deal with people and is vigilant about following the product from design to delivery. Giesler, an engineer at heart, likes to tinker and try new innovations. “He’s always tinkering with some-thing. He’s even into biodiesel fuel. I don’t know the last time he bought gaso-line,” Meyer said. Giesler fuels his hybrid Mercedes and his wife’s Jeep with the al-ternative fuel. “I have to laugh. I can’t tell you how many times he’s driven into the parking lot and we swear it smells like French fries out there,” Meyer quipped. The other essential part of the success equation is the workforce they’ve assem-bled. “I’d put the workers we have up against anyone,” Meyer said. That’s key when one considers the changes in product requests in the compet-itive markets in the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America. Common delivery dates used to be six to eight weeks out but some contracts have given as little as two weeks for comple-tion. Employees are willing to trade off some of those tight deadlines for the other ben-efi ts. Flex time is an especially treasured item. Workers can manipulate schedules in order to help with family issues and attend their kids’ functions such as games and re-citals. “I’m big into family and I can appreci-ate the need to be there for your kids,” said Meyer, a father of four. Daily survival at this shop is depen-dent on a drive to secure contracts domes-tically and abroad. “We have to go out daily to get our work. That is why we have three sales-men,” Meyer explained. And the plan is simple. “I say, ‘Let’s get our foot in the door and then we can show them what we can do.’ Our quality is second to none.”

Riverside co-owner Lester Meyer points to a table of newly-machined parts for F-37 fi ghter jet landing gear systems being made at his facility.

By Joel D. JosephChairman, Made in the USA Foundation

Take advantage of Labor Day sales, look at the labels carefully and buy American-made products. However, Labor Day means much more than a day off work and bargain sales. Labor Day celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers and unions. Labor Day was proposed by two union leaders in 1882, and became a fed-eral holiday in 1894. Labor Day to me is the celebration of the fi ve-day work-week, the 40-hour work week, time-and-one-half for overtime, health and safety regulations and other benefi ts that American workers have fought for more than 100 years. In Mexico, China and many other na-tions, the six-day work-week is still the norm, with no overtime compensation, with minimal health, safety and environ-mental laws. Ten great American-made products to consider buying this Labor Day Weekend are:

1. CREE light bulbs. CREE is a high-tech LED (light-emitting diode) light bulb that is made in the United States and is sold at Home Depot and other stores for about $10. These high-tech bulbs use much less elec-tricity than compact fl orescent lamps (CFL) or traditional light bulbs.

2. Ford C-MAXX, Tesla S. Buy one of the

Great American products for you to buy on Labor Day

most fuel-effi cient American-made cars. The American-made Ford C-Maxx is a hy-brid that competes well against the Toyota Prius. The C-Maxx sells for around $25,000 and gets more than 40 miles to the gallon. If you are looking for a fuel-effi cient luxury car, the new Tesla S sedan is for you. It is the only American sedan that is taking sales away from Mercedes, Lexus, BMW and Audi. The electric Tesla S was rated 99 out of 100 by Consumer Reports, its high-est rating ever an automobile. The Tesla S costs from $60,000 to $100,000 depending on battery range and accessories. Take one of these great cars out for a test drive and experience American excellence.

3. American Apparel. Buy an Ameri-can Apparel T-shirt, hoodie or sweatshirt. American Apparel is the largest American manufacturer of clothing and sells U.S.-made apparel in Europe and Asia.

4. Simplicity vacuum cleaners. Buy an American-made vacuum cleaner. Simplic-ity vacuums won this year’s Made in the USA Hall of Fame Award for vacuums.

5. Solar panels. Buy American-made so-lar panels. American-made solar panels are the most effi cient in the world. Solar-World, Helios Solar and First Solar make solar panels in the United States.

6. American Tires. Replace your tires with American-made tires. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has made it very easy to fi nd American-made tires by requir-ing that each tire carry a code that shows the company and the location of the plant that manufactured the tire. DOT requires that each tire sold in the United States car-ry a code. The two letters or numbers that follow the DOT identify a particular fac-tory as listed here: B. F. Goodrich (BE, BF), Bridgestone/Firestone (VE, YE, YU, 8B, D2, E3, W1, Y7, 2C, 4D, 5D) Cooper (UP, UT), Goodyear (JU, PC, UK, JJ, MD, PU, JN, MJ, PY, JE, MC, PT), Kelly-Springfi ed (JF, MM, PJ) and Titan Tire (CF, JH, MN, PK).

7. American cell phone. Buy a new Mo-torola Moto-X cell phone that is assembled in a new plant in Texas, the fi rst USA-made cell phone in a decade. It sells for $199, comes in many colors and uses Android software.

8. American beer and wine. Toast Amer-ica, by buying American-made beer and wine. Sam Adams won the Made in the USA Hall of Fame Award for beer. Cha-teau Montelena, Beaulieu Vineyards and

Schramsberg won Hall of Fame Awards for wine. There are many other great American beers and wines from all parts of the country. Drink American!

9. Back to school supplies. If you haven’t fi nished your back to school purchases, check out the All American Back to School Guide, www.madeusafdn.org.

10. American Flat-Screen TV. Buy a new Element fl at-screen television at Wal-Mart, Target or Costco. The Element televisions are made in Detroit, the fi rst televisions made in the USA this century.

When someone tells you that “Nothing is made in the USA anymore,” tell them it is just not true. There are many great prod-ucts made in the United States and more are coming.

America’s love-hate relationship with Walmart took another turn last week when the company announced the creation of 1,000 new manufacturing jobs through its Made-In-America initiative. The announcement came at the Walmart U.S. Manufacturing Summit at-tended by 500 supplier companies, 32 state governments and major retail industry leaders. Earlier this year, Walmart announced its intention to spend $50 billion more on U.S. products in the next decade. Bill Si-mon, president and CEO, stated in a com-pany release Walmart would sign longer term contracts with suppliers to encourage investment. Consequently, six companies at the summit announced investments that will create the 1,000 jobs. These include GE which will invest $30 million to create 150 jobs in plants in Ohio and Illinois to pro-duce energy effi cient light bulbs for sale at Walmart. The $50 billion commitment repre-sents 10 percent of retail sales for the larg-est retailer and employer in the U.S. The Bentonville, Arkansas fi rm serves 245 mil-lion customers each week at 10,857 stores while employing more than two million. Simon told the audience America needs to rebuild its middle class. Americans have “fewer opportunities to save money, send their children to college or build a nest egg for retirement,” he stated. Walmart’s buy-ing power can help change that. So, is this a whole lotta love for us? Or, is it good business sense? Or, is it just hype? Walmart tried a made-in America cam-paign in the mid 1990s that was more glitz than substance and one that fi zzled out when it couldn’t fi nd enough low-priced

Is Walmart’s effort to rebuild middle class real or hype?

American-made goods to sustain it. The company was then vilifi ed for its role in sending American manufacturing jobs to China and other Asian rim countries. It has also been castigated by American unions for compensating employees below indus-try standards. Has anything changed? Yes, say two business professors at the University of Toledo. But, the change will take time. Dr. Sonny Ariss, chairman of the Man-agement Department and fellow of the Cen-ter for Entrepreneurship and Technology Commercialization, said Walmart led the two-decade exodus of American jobs to China and it will take two decades to re-verse the trend.

“Do not expect an overnight change in the supply chain from China and other countries,” he said. “But, there will be some tapering off and anytime an American com-pany can bring manufacturing back to the United States they’re doing it. It’s going to help the economy in the long run and em-ployment…Actually, we have been repatri-ating some of our manufacturing for the last three years. Defi nitely the announcement, because they were the fi rst to go to China, is great news for everybody.” Dr. Ariss says the reason behind the move is the reopening of labor contracts following The Big Recession of 2007-08. “There has been what we call an eve-ning out between overseas and the United States: We went down, they went up, so it makes sense to reexamine the supply chain,” he said. This dynamic and higher transporta-tion costs make it more feasible to manu-facture closer to the consumer resulting in less warehouse needs, less touching along the supply chain and less fuel costs.

“I‘m pretty sure they are serious and not because they like us as much as they like their balance sheet and their income statement. They see there isn’t much to lose if they bring it (manufacturing) back here,” Dr. Ariss added. Dr. Stan Westjohn, professor of interna-tional business, concurred. “They’re going to do what makes most sense for Walmart. They’re a publically-held company. They’ll do what their investors expect them to do.” Dr. Westjohn says another factor driv-ing a return to manufacturing jobs to the U.S. is lower energy costs. “Fracking technologies have essential made the U.S. a great energy provider on a global scale and reduced energy costs in the U.S. and, to some extent, sparked a re-vitalization in manufacturing. Natural gas prices are cheap,” he said. It’s easy to be cynical today: A frac-tious congress will not rebuild the middle class, nor will a Wall Street that has lost trust with Main Street. Unemployment is still at 7.4 percent, high by historical stan-dards, and while there are jobs at the lower and higher ends of the employment spec-trum, good paying jobs in the middle are in short supply. If retailers see a bottom line advantage to providing American-made products they could make a major contri-bution to rebuilding our manufacturing sector. Spin-off jobs would also be created in transportation, engineering, accounting and the service industry. Walmart has cho-sen to lead this initiative. As the nation’s largest retailer, it is in position to do so and it deserves credit for recognizing that. Comment at [email protected]

Northwood Councilman Dave Gallaher will not be on the ballot in November seek-ing re-election. Gallaher, on council since 1994, said he wants to spend more time with his family. “I’m going to miss it, but I’m not going to miss it as much as I’m going to enjoy the time off,” said Gallaher. “It’s really some-thing I can live with.” Gallaher intended to run again, and started going door to door to circulate his petitions. “I had planned to go to my grandaughter’s t-ball game later that day, but I ended up talking to residents. I had a chance to sit down and visit with people I hadn’t seen for a while. I thought `This is really nice. I wish I had more time to do this.’ It started to get late. I said goodnight to folks, drove home, had some dinner and watched about 10 minutes of the news, then called it a night.” Gallaher, a former Northwood fi re-fi ghter, said he started to realize that he had spent most of his life in public service and that perhaps it was time to kick back and start doing things he wanted to do. “Once I started to think about how long I had been doing public service, I thought `I think I’ll take some time off.’ It occurred to me that my children, who are grown and gone, never have known a day when I was either not on the fi re depart-ment or on council. Ever. I was working 55 hours per week. It started getting me think-ing. There’s nothing more important that I have to do it. It’s not like making widgets. After making 200 of them, you’re done. In politics, you’re never done. Something is always happening, has to be done, always an emergency. When do you say enough is enough?” Although it was time consuming, he said he nonetheless enjoyed serving the public. “I really appreciate all the support I got over the years. I was really lucky to team up with a lot of good people. There’s

Gallaher won’t run for re-election

a lot of things I was involved in. There was nothing that was just me by myself. It was a team effort with a lot of people.” Gallaher said he had served as a fi re-fi ghter for 14 years before he decided to run for council in 1994. “I was involved in the community as a fi refi ghter. It was just one more step, a natu-ral progression, to run for council. There wasn’t a master plan, for sure,” he said. Gallaher, who unsuccessfully tried to unseat Mayor Mark Stoner three times, said he would not completely rule out another run for public offi ce in the future. But for now, his priority is his family. “There was a time I would eat, sleep and drink politics. And I really enjoyed it. I could spend four more years trying to do what I can on council, or sit back and enjoy

my family and let some other people get on council. There are some good people run-ning.” According to the Wood County board of elections, fi ve candidates are vying for four seats on council. The following candi-dates have been certifi ed by the Board for the general election in November: • Incumbent Randy Kozina, 2514 Eden East Drive.; • Incumbent Connie Sue Hughes, 3275 Bordeaux Rue; • Challenger Keith A. Dempsey, 1953 Terri Rue; • Challenger Louis Fahrbach, 4095 Williston Rd; • Challenger Richard B. Radocy, 190 Farnstead Dr.

Burglary charges Two men have been charged with ag-gravated burglary after allegedly entering an occupied residence Aug. 25 in the 6600 block of S. Lakeshore Drive in Lake Town-ship. Police said Jacob T. Cook, 19, Tole-do, and Brett Dilucia, 19, Rossford, were charged after a group of 10-15 males en-tered the residence and threw items around and threatened occupants. Alcohol-related offenses have also been fi led against the two, who were lodged in the Wood County Justice Center on bonds of $21,500 each. The incident occurred around 3:14 a.m.

the board of trustees. On August 19, Lucas County Com-mon Pleas Court Judge Dean Mandros ruled in favor of Stanton, and ordered that he be reinstated as fi re chief. “The court holds that the board’s decision is illegal, as the trustees failed to comply with the procedural require-ments of the Ohio Revised Code and the township’s personnel policies and pro-cedures manual,” stated the ruling. In addition, the court held that the board of trustees had violated the chief’s due process rights by its multiple role as investigator, prosecutor, witness, and judge. “Consequently, the board’s decision to terminate the chief is vacated, and he is to be restored…” the court ordered. “We totally disagree with the rul-ing,” said Kiss. “I don’t think we did anything illegal or violated anyone’s constitutional rights. We respect the judge’s decision, but our counsel and the trustees don’t see it that way. Mr. Stanton has every right to do what he thinks is right, By the same token, we have every right to do what we think is right.” Kevin Greenfi eld, Stanton’s attor-ney, was surprised by the trustees’ deci-sion to appeal the ruling. “It’s just amazing to me. It boggles my mind,” Greenfi eld told The Press. “The judge was pretty fi rm that there were clear violations of the law. Trustees violated Stanton’s constitution rights, violated their policies and procedures, and didn’t follow Ohio Revised Code to do the investigation. That’s pretty cut and dry. What’s concerning to me is now that trustees have fi led a motion to stay execution of judgment, if they lose this appeal, they have to pay his back pay and benefi ts while they don’t have him in service. They are just wasting taxpayer money.” Greenfi eld said Stanton will now fi le a federal lawsuit based on the viola-tion of his constitutional rights. “He didn’t want to do any of this. But if they’re going to make this con-tentious, that’s the way it’s going to be,” said Greenfi eld. “The facts were so uncontroverted at the hearing. I don’t understand. Other than they just don’t want him anymore. Stanton has a lot of support in the department and the com-munity.” On Stanton’s plans to fi le the fed-eral lawsuit, Kiss said “We’ll deal with that accordingly.” Borell could not be reached for comment.

Just Pancakes Solomon Lutheran Church at 305 W. Main St., Woodville, is kicking off its Sunday school year on Sunday, Sept. 8 by hosting “Just Pancakes” – a ministry designed to build awareness and feed the hungry by providing free pancakes to the community. Free pancakes will be served from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. A freewill offering will be collected to support the “Just Pan-cakes” ministry. Opportunities to at-tend worship services are available be-fore and after breakfast at 8 and 10:30 a.m. with Sunday school and fun ac-tivities in between. “Just Pancakes” is a Saturday morning all-you-can-eat breakfast ministry held at the historic Salem Lu-theran Church near downtown Toledo. The ministry offers free pancakes with “no strings” attached, with the goal of developing relationships with people living in poverty who are often forgot-ten or considered outcasts. The ministry, founded by Knut Huber, emphasizes the value of each person and the importance of respect-ing each individual regardless of back-ground or perceived status. “Just Pancakes” includes three programs. First, it offers a sit-down breakfast for anyone who comes through the door. This is a chance for many volunteers to sit with and meet people from the community and have conversation. Second, the ministry offers car-ryout breakfasts, which generally in-clude six pancakes and two two -ounce containers of syrup. There are no lim-its on carryouts. A person can pick up three to 40 pancakes in one order, no questions asked. The reason carryout numbers are high is because many of those served take breakfast to people that are not able to come. Finally, “Just Pancakes” has a con-cession trailer which takes the minis-try into the community. The trailer re-sembles a cardboard box to serve as a reminder that some people in poverty are reduced to fi nding shelter in a card-board box.

Free light bulbs The Village of Elmore and Effi -ciency Smart are teaming up to help save money and reduce power usage for Elmore Board of Public Affairs elec-tric customers through several energy effi ciency initiatives. One of the initiatives includes a Customer Appreciation Days event being held Wednesday, Sept. 4 and Thursday, Sept. 5 from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., at 340 Clinton St. During the event, Effi ciency Smart staff will distribute fi ve free compact fl orescent light bulbs (CFLs), while supplies last, as well as kits with re-bate forms, program information and energy effi ciency tips. Many local business and residents have already taken advantage of the program since it started in Elmore in January 2011, receiving more than $13,000 in rebates for energy-effi cient products through the end of June of 2013. This is expected to translate to savings of more than $340,000 over the lifetime of the installed products. For information about the services and incentives available through Ef-fi ciency Smart, visit www.effi cien-cysmart.org or call 877-889-3777.

The board of trustees of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District wasted little time in fi nding a replacement for Bruce Moritz, the district’s former chief who left to become the chief of the Lake Township Volunteer Fire Department. The fi re board, in a special meeting Aug. 26, accepted the resignation of Moritz and then appointed Dennis Hartman as the district’s chief. Chief Hartman’s career as a fi refi ghter began in 1981 with the former Allen Town-ship Fire Department where he was named chief in 1990. When the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District began operations in May 2001, Hartman

Hartman named chief of Allen-Clay Joint Fire Districtwas appointed its part-time deputy chief. Two years later, he was appointed full-time deputy chief and has held that post since. Chief Hartman and his wife, Cindy, live in Williston and have two grown sons. After an executive session Aug. 20, the Lake Township trustees announced they were offering the job to Moritz, pending his passing a background check and physi-cal exam. The trustees and command offi cers of the fi re department interviewed six candi-dates. In all, there were 15 applicants, in-cluding some from Missouri, Nevada and Georgia. The pay range for the township post is $55,000-$60,000. Details of a contract with Moritz are to be completed during the trustees’ fi rst meeting in September,

according to Melanie Bowen, a township trustee. Moritz is expected to start work in Lake Township after Labor Day. He has been a fi xture in Ottawa Coun-ty fi re departments for decades, joining the former Clay - Genoa Volunteer Fire Depart-ment in the 1970s where he rose through the ranks. He’d been the chief of the Allen-Clay district since its inception. Moritz said he already knows many of the Lake Township department personnel as the Allen-Clay department has an aid agreement with Lake Township. He said he was ready for a “new chal-lenge” in deciding to take the post. The township interim chief, Mike Hornyak, informed the trustees he intends to step down due to time constraints relat-ed to his full-time job.

Over the next few months, nearly 60 Ottawa County sheriff’s deputies will re-ceive 3 percent pay hikes. The raises, which are staggered among three divisions in the law enforcement de-partment, were negotiated as part of a wage re-opener clause in the third year of the union’s collective bargaining contract. “They didn’t receive any raises the fi rst two years of the contract,” Ottawa County Sheriff Steve Levorchick said. “They voted for that.” According to Ottawa County Com-missioners meeting records, the payroll changes approved mid-month for members of the Fraternal Order of Police/Ohio Labor Council Union will occur as follows:- Effective Oct. 1, 2013 for dispatchers- Effective Oct. 1, 2013 for correction cor-porals, offi cers and sergeants- Effective Jan. 1, 2014 for road deputies and detectives

Ottawa County deputies in line for pay raises Ottawa County’s operating budget for 2013 is about $13.5 million. The sheriff’s offi ce receives the largest share of general fund monies - close to $4.5 million this year. Deputies are staffed 24 hours a day on the road and in the county detention fa-cility at the courthouse and at the Ottawa County Misdemeanor Jail housed at the city/county building on East Perry Street. “I’d like to thank the commissioners who voted for the raises,” the sheriff said. His administrative staff members re-ceived their fi rst raises in fi ve years in early July. They are among the employees under the umbrella of the county commission-ers. Those raises came after a long fought campaign by prosecutor Mark Mulligan on behalf of the staff starting in 2012. The commissioners had put off raises over the years, contending that fi nances in the wake of the recession weren’t strong enough to handle the extra costs. Mulligan countered that employees had been dili-gent about cost-cutting measures and ser-vices consolidation to help the county stay

fi scally fi t. He also said morale suffered as each year passed and commissioners turned down wage increase proposals. Commissioners fi nally relented this spring when they approved pay raises scheduled to begin in July. But the vote was not unanimous. Commissioners Jodi Regal and Jim Sass approved those earlier raises. Steve Arndt said no. The deputies’ pay raise vote played out the same this month. Arndt said earlier this year he could not justify approving any pay raises given the county’s current state of affairs. He was particularly concerned about a $1 million defi cit looming by year’s end in the coun-ty’s self-insured healthcare program for employees. Commissioners hired a consulting fi rm to evaluate the health program and devise options to help the faltering health care program. That team is still working.

The owners of the Woodville Mall have taken the fi rst step in response to a court or-der to demolish the structure by next May. A Wood County Common Pleas Court judge on Aug. 8 set a timeline for the own-ers to prepare for the mall’s demolition by May 2, 2014. First on the court’s list is the construction of a fence around the proper-ty’s perimeter by Sept. 2. Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson said that a permit was recently pulled to install the fence, which was par-tially completed on Wednesday. “A little hope has sprung up,” said Anderson. “Someone came into the offi ce about a fence permit last Friday. They have started putting up the fence. We’re skepti-cal. But it appears they have taken the fi rst step. It looks like the fence is going to be up by this weekend. They’re complying with the court order. The next thing is working on getting a bond and a permit to tear it down. That allows them to get in there and start cleaning it out.” The mall has been shut down and boarded up since December 2011 due to violations of several Wood County Health and Ohio Building codes. City Councilman Dave Gallaher said at a council meeting on Aug. 22 that the city should be prepared to put funds aside for the task if the mall’s owners do not raze the mall next year. “With everything happening at the mall, and what I’m guessing is not going to happen at the mall, should we be looking at putting some money away for that project?” asked Gallaher. “There’s no free lunch. I’m not psychic. But I’m guessing that nothing is going to happen unless we make it hap-pen. So we might as well put ourselves in a position to make it happen. We have to fi nd the numbers before we even start budgeting money. We really have to prepare ourselves to make something happen there.” Councilman Mike Myers, chairman of the Finance Committee, said he will sched-ule a committee meeting on Sept. 12 before the next council meeting to discuss the

Fence being installed around Woodville Mall

matter. Anderson said after the meeting that he also has doubts that the mall owners will have the mall demolished by May. “Historically, the mall owners have not been very responsive to the needs of the city,” said Anderson. “That’s why we

had to go to court to force them to do some-thing. We really have to do something. I am not in favor of demolishing the mall for someone else. But if they’re not willing to do it, we have to do something.” He added that the city would try and recoup the costs if it razes the mall.

Ignorance not blissful To the editor: One evening, I was sitting home watching TV. A commercial came on featuring a lady speaking about the hydrau-lic fracturing (fracking) process. The lady was playing the part of someone who was skeptical about the safety with fracking un-til the company performing it told her that it is completely harmless and there are no concerns. I myself support environmental activ-ism and was angered by this commercial. Are people really this ignorant and suscep-tible? I thought it was common knowledge that any company is out to make a profi t and therefore, will not speak against what they do. There are numerous risks accom-panying fracking that can acutely impact one’s health and the environment. Hydraulic fracking is a process of drilling down and injecting approximate-ly 40,000 gallons of chemicals per frack-ing into the shale rock in order to fracture the stone and release natural gas from the earth. Locations for fracking commonly in-clude farm land, yards and more recently, cemeteries. So much for resting in peace. The industry can take advantage of the general population’s lack of knowledge on the subject and leads them to believe that this process poses no threat to their wellbe-ing or to the environment. When they want permission to implement fracking in a per-son’s yard, they are not going to tell them that the chemicals being injected into the ground and water supply consist of toxins such as mercury, uranium, formaldehyde or hydrochloric acid. There have been over 1,000 documented cases of water contami-nation and serious health issues next to hy-draulic fracking sites. Gases that escape are able to enter gas lines into homes, causing high pressure and leaks. Obviously expos-ing the fact that fracking can cause them to asphyxiate from a gas leak isn’t going to do much for business. The same gases tend to build up in wa-ter lines. Several months ago, before mov-

ing to Toledo, I lived in a home where there was already an excess of methane in the water lines coming from a well. Lighting a match underneath a running faucet in the home would actually cause the gas in the lines to ignite. Allowing fracking to occur in such an area would put water lines to the breaking point. It is shown that wells near hydrau-lic fracking sites can have up to 17 times more methane than in a well where no sites are nearby. Because of the amounts of gas fracking can put into water lines, a line that is already fl ammable could become explo-sive. Nobody should be at home feeling as they are living within the walls of a bomb. The so-called benefi ts brought up by the government and the industry do not come remotely close to being worth the risk. They argue that fracking will lower the costs of bills, bring jobs and promote energy security. Several communities have already shared their disappointment af-ter fracking did not create all the jobs the companies promised. Still the companies continue to lie about the dangers of frack-ing and keep on promising jobs and lower bills. More and more fracking wells are be-ing drilled yet many people are oblivious to it. Ignorance and a few lower bills are not worth the health of someone and their fam-ily.

No bad kids To the editor: Another school year is upon us as this retired teacher refl ects with each passing yellow bus. Having been raised “by hand” in the 1950s and nurtured by Father Daniel Flannigan’s “Boy’s Town” stories, I know there are no bad kids. I learned this witnessing thousands of kids

in the educational setting. Talkative, fi dg-ety, mischievous and troubled kids certain-ly passed my way, but no bad kids. Before Public Law 94-142, as well as state and federal standards, I began on a teaching/coaching/advising saga of 32 years for Genoa Area Schools. To have the opportunity to watch cognitively delayed, cognitively disabled, learning disabled, vi-sion impaired, hearing impaired, gifted/tal-ented and typical students grow into adults was an awesome experience. Teacher preparatory and graduate classes at Bowling Green State University emphasized each person’s unique right and responsibility to become a contribut-ing member of society. Informal analysis led me to conclude that nearly 100 percent are doing just that in our great American society. The data showed they worked at all levels of employability; auto mechanic, building and grounds custodian, cafeteria dish washer/food prep/server, child care, dietitian, dental assistant, farmer, FBI agent, fi refi ghter, guidance counselor, hos-pital housekeeper, manual laborer, nurse, packaging, Press delivery, police offi cer, principal, physician, retail cashier, res-taurant, hospitality, secretary, short order cooks, surgeon, teacher, teacher aide and welder. Of all these former “no bad kids” contributing to our world, one stands out dramatically. Teachers should not have favorites, but one kept in frequent contact for 35 years. Peggy (Robinson) Arndt bounced in my classroom in 1979, displaying her pride that she and her classmates helped shorten the previous year’s teacher’s stay in educa-tion. “We don’t do work, shut up, or listen so good luck Mrs. A.” We all got along just fi ne as she and her crew were not bad kids. Af-ter one of many visits to the principal after

being found in the girls’ restroom smoking lounge, the word “expulsion” was uttered. I cried…I knew she was not a bad kid. She and her cohort giggled and her mother gave me a lesson in tough love. She fi nished high school, having grown up as her fi ancé and brother were both acciden-tally killed. Married young she decided to limit her family to one child in this “cra-zy world.” Raising this child and his best friend, she worked, kept house, helped her family and neighbors. At about age 44, cancer complicated her life as she battled leukemia, went into remission and continued to work as a con-venience store clerk. At the same time, she took on the responsibility of raising her three grandchildren. On Aug. 7, this con-tributing member of society lost the battle with cancer. Peggy was one of thousands of good kids that crossed my path, and we shared the opinion that there are no bad kids. Here’s to you, Miss Robinson.Sharon AndersonElmore

In any situation, there’s a component of human nature that causes us to fi xate on what is lacking. This inhibits us from appreciating all we do have. Focusing on what’s lacking has a negative impact on our attitude. It actually causes your mind to repel those very things you want. For example, concentrating on how much money you don’t have, suppresses your efforts to correct the situation. Your frustration leads to inaction. Discouragement suppresses motivation. Although it’s ironic, focusing on what you lack creates an aura of desperation which repels what you are seeking. Using this approach for anything you want produces the same outcome; concentrating on what’s lacking repels what you are looking to obtain. So how do you acquire what you need and want? Switch to a mindset of abundance. Those who appreciate all they have, always have more than they need. Conversely, those who constantly feel they are lacking, never have enough. Let’s see how this approach can be applied to some areas of life typically thought of as lacking. We’ll start with time, a common source of frustration. People are constantly complaining about not having enough of it. Although time is the one thing you can’t get more of, you can make

Positive thinking

Don’t focus entirely on what’s lacking in your life

better use of it. You can become more effi cient in using your time. Instead of complaining about not having enough time, eliminate unnecessary tasks while prioritizing the important things you want to accomplish. Focus on tasks that get you closer to your goals rather than simply keeping busy. Unlike time, there is no external limit to how motivated you can become. Lack of motivation is self-imposed. You are the only one suppressing your motivation. You can’t blame other people or circumstances. It doesn’t matter what bad experiences you may have had. If you want something bad enough, you will be motivated to attain it. Many people feel they lack money. They constantly struggle to acquire enough. They work in jobs they don’t like in order to have money needed to do things they enjoy. Much of their time is spent thinking about how much money they don’t have.

There are wealthy people who think they don’t have enough and those of modest means who believe they have more than they need. An attitude of abundance attracts more of what you want whereas a mindset of lack blocks and repels what you desire. What about people who think they don’t have enough friends? They look outside themselves for comfort and security. You are your own best friend. Your comfort and security is not linked to anyone else, it is rooted within you. Those who look to others for security never have enough friends. When you are comfortable with who you are, you don’t need a lot of friends. You may not be as happy as you would like. Rather than thinking about why you are unhappy, identify those aspects of your life you are happy about. You will be surprised at how many good things there are to be thankful for which have been overshadowed by your preoccupation of dissatisfaction. The area of happiness is a perfect example of how focusing on lack masks and inhibits abundance. Now is a perfect time to start changing your mental orientation from lack to abundance. It’s a very simple concept. When you are aware of and appreciative of all the abundance in your life, you attract

Bike fun, great grub, cold suds The Elmore Historical Society and A.B.A.T.E. of Ohio Region # 7 are putting the fi nal touches on plans for the 17th an-nual Grub ‘n Suds Motorcycle Rally being held Saturday, Sept. 7, from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. at Depot Park in Elmore. A.B.A.T.E. – American Bikers Aimed Toward Education – is a not-for-profi t orga-nization dedicated to preserving the rights, improving the image of, and promoting safe operating practices of Ohio motorcyclists. The day’s activities will kick off with the A.B.A.T.E. “Headless Motorcycle Poker Run.” The fi rst 100 registrants will receive a free 2013 edition of the Grub ‘n Suds col-lector’s mug. Registration for the poker run will be at 10 a.m. at Depot Park. Public judging for the A.B.A.T.E. Bike Show will also begin at 10 a.m. Motorcy-cles will be judged in six classes – custom, historical, cruisers, sport, rat and touring. Winners of each class will be showcased in the “Parade of Champions,” which will be held during the band break between 3 and 5 p.m. at the stage. As the name implies, the festival will include a wide array of stick-to-your-ribs grub, including grilled burgers, fresh hand-cut French fries, hot dogs, Coney dogs, cole slaw, baked beans, pop and homemade pies. As always, lots of ice cold beer by the glass or pitcher will be on tap. Great music has always been a hall-mark of the Grub ‘n Suds events. This year, “Eleventh Hour” will kick off the entertain-ment with classic rock and roll on stage from noon-3 p.m.. Their music will lead into one of the biggest draws of the Grub ‘n Suds every year – the A.B.A.T.E. Bike Games, which will be held between band performances from 3-5 p.m. Riders will be able to participate in various games, including “Bite the Dog,” “Potato in the Straw,” “Slow Rider,” “Egg Drop” and “Keg Roll” contests. After the bike games, raffl e drawing and the “Parade of Champions,” the headlining band “Old School” will get the crowd going with their eclectic mix of rock and roll and classic rock from 5-8 p.m. In addition, several vendors will be at Depot Park selling everything from jewelry to leather products. New 2014 motorcycle models will also be on display. To sign up to be a motorcycle-related vendor or to obtain more information, con-tact Lowell Krumnow at 419-260-1282.

Brunner Fall Festival A Fall Festival will be held Oct. 5 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at Brunner Campus, 1224 West St., Genoa. The event will include a craft/vendor fair, along with a Mom 2 Mom sale, face painting, a pumpkin contest and more. To reserve a space for the craft/vendor sale, or for more information, email Joy at [email protected].

The German-American Festival (GAF) again proved why it is Northwest Ohio’s largest festival, as more than 34,000 people heeded the call to “Bring a Guest and Come to the Fest” Aug. 23-25. “We were more than pleased with the size of the crowds at this year’s festival,” said Chairman Tim Pecsenye, who added that food was consumed in impressive quantities at the festival. More than fi ve and half tons of potatoes were used to make handmade potato pancakes, hand-cut Pom-mes Frites (French fries) and 4,500 pounds of homemade German potato salad. Guests enjoyed gallons of sauerkraut along with more than 20,000 bratwursts. Sweets were again popular, with hundreds of cake serv-ings, cookies and other desserts served. “We encouraged our guests to come out and enjoy themselves and we wanted them to do so responsibly and return home safe-ly,” Pecsenye said. “The additional shuttle locations were a great way to ensure that guests from all parts of town had a safe way to get to the festival grounds.” In addition, more than 70 guests took advantage of the cab service. The “Ed Schmidt” photo booth was a great source of entertainment for festival-goers. The photos were displayed on large screens throughout the grounds, along with other candid photos. Photos can be viewed and downloaded at GermanA-mericanFestival.net. “The German worship service is al-ways a very moving experience,” Pecsenye added. “To hear the German language and see 450 guests come together and partici-pate is a great reminder of why we do this every year.”

Contest winners The Masskrugstemmen, which loosely translates to the lifting of a liter mug of

Festival funGerman-American Festival another successful year

beer, took place on Friday and Saturday. Contestants held the “Masskrug” with one arm completely stretched out and parallel to the fl oor.

Saturday winners included: Women: Rachael Hinkle, fi rst place, 9’-8”; Linda Rossler, second place, 8’-11”; Elissa Ackerman, third place, 8’-8”.

The 5th Annual German Kuchen Bak-ing Contest brought in delicious entries and the following winners: Tina Beamer, fi rst place, Black Forrest Cupcakes; Renee Thomas, second place, Plum Kuchen; Matt FrieMark, second

place, Apple Cake. This was the second year for the Bre-zlen Essen and Swiss cheese eating con-tests, and both events were again a huge success. Contestants for the Brezlen Essen came from as far as New York, but specta-tors cheered on the locals in the Hofbrau-halle. Last year’s winner prevailed again this year, consuming 10 soft baked pret-zels in the allotted fi ve-minute time frame. Crowds gathered in the Swiss Essen Haus to watch as 15 contestants competed to see who could eat a 1½-pound block of Swiss cheese and a shot of prune juice. Jeff Ward and Kevin Gross tied for fi rst place, with a time of 1:50. The resulting showdown, with an additional 1/3 -pound block of cheese and another shot of prune juice, ended with Ward winning the event with a time of 1:22. The remaining spots went to Gross, Amanda Harpel, Rob Shields and Nathaniel Diekman. The 22nd Annual Hummel Look-Alike Contest took place on Sunday with the fol-lowing winners: Ages 2-4: Cade Schober, fi rst place; Brody Batterline, second place; Abby Cary-er, third place. Ages 5-7: Mason Caryer, fi rst place; Emily Rasor, second place; Jayne Mays, third place. Ages 8-10: Elise Eschedor, fi rst place; Emily Rasor, second place; Alison Schoder, third place. “We would like to thank and acknowl-edge the dedicated volunteers who con-tribute time and energy every year,” Pec-senye said. “We would also like to thank the administrators and employees of the City of Oregon, the Oregon City School Dis-trict and employees, and neighbors in the area for their patience throughout the past weekend.”

As of late, the Northwood Rangers have been dominating their Lemoyne Road rivals, Lake, in football.

Northwood has won their last seven matchups against the Flyers, defeating the Flyers by a combined score of 262-93 along the way.

That was before new Lake coach Mark Emans came to town, and he’s got a sea-soned veteran quarterback in Jared Rettig to back him up.

The Rangers, led by Coach Ken James, now in his 28th year, have been a model of success against Toledo Area Athletic Con-ference opponents. Since joining the TAAC in 2001, the Rangers have won nine league titles and advanced to the playoffs seven times.

James’ offense revolves around the wishbone attack, a system that features three running backs, two wide receivers and no tight ends. Northwood’s success running the ball and stopping the run on defense has been key to their stellar run during the last 12 years. Despite having lost 19 seniors from one of the best teams in school history, the Rangers were picked to win the TAAC again this season — albeit, narrowly, in close voting over Gibsonburg.

The Rangers’ offense will feature its share of newcomers. Under center will be Mike Vallejo, who is joined by Dylan Na-pier, Dominik Bermejo and Jake Davenport in the backfi eld. Devon Dunbar and Jacob Vickers will start at receiver.

Lemoyne Road RivalryLake Flyers @ Northwood RangersLake Flyers @ Northwood Rangers

Despite the youth movement, James said this year’s squad has performed well during two-a-days and scrimmages.

“We’re young,” he said. “We only have six seniors, so we’re playing some younger guys. We’ve played well in some scrim-mages and not so well in others. We’ve been erratic at times, we’ve been really physical and we’ve roughed each other up in practice and stayed healthy and it’s productive.”

James thinks highly of the rivalry be-tween the two schools that are separated by just three miles and located on the same road.

“The rivalry is a cool thing. There’s usually a great crowd,” he said. “The com-munities are pretty close together. There are people that graduated from Lake whose kids go to Northwood. It’s always a fun at-mosphere. It’s fun to coach in and it’s pretty exciting to play in.”

Lake, meanwhile, has its third coach in as many seasons, but there’s reason to be-

lieve they may have found the right man to fi ll the role in Emans, a Luckey native, Eastwood graduate, and former Bowling Green State University standout, who was hired in April.

Emans brings with him a track record of success. He has 27 years, leading Wauseon (1990-2011) and Arcadia (1986-89) before coming to Millbury. Emans went 118-99 at Wauseon, led the Indians to four Northwest Ohio Athletic League titles and their only three playoff appearances in school his-tory. His most crowning achievement came when Wauseon won the Division III state championship in ‘93.

Under former coach Bob Olwin, Lake ran the spread offense, but Emans prefers a run-oriented attack. This season, Emans will have to mix in his running schemes with a team that is used to throwing the ball. On top of that, the Flyers have junior quarterback Jared Rettig, who already holds the school’s career passing record with 4,462 yards and 49 touchdowns after just

his freshman and sophomore seasons.Rettig will look to get the ball out in

space to a variety of receivers, namely Todd Walters, Adam Duncan, Nick Walsh and tight end Joel Densic. Joining Rettig in the backfi eld will be running backs Marcel Bryan and Branden Short.

“We’ll run the shotgun and use some wing-T out of it,” Emans said. “I’d be pretty foolish not to use a quarterback like Jared Rettig. We’ll use what we have and utilize some of the things I’m familiar with.

“Sometimes we’ll have no backs, one back, two backs. Sometimes we’ll have the quarterback under center. There are more formations that we want to show. We’ll have a lot of things at our disposal to keep defenses honest. We don’t want to get one-dimensional.”

Emans is pleased with the progress his new team has made thus far.

“It’s been very, very positive,” he said. “The kids have bought into what I’ve brought to the table. I’ve got a nice staff and the kids are working extremely hard. I’m excited with the progress of the program from when I started on June 1.”

If you ask James, he certainly believes that Emans can turn Lake into champions.

“For them, I think Mark brings credibil-ity because he’s had a great career,” James said. “The kids automatically understand that what he tells them is going to work. He’s changing systems, which is diffi cult. Mark is going to try and run the ball more and try to change the mindset of the kids. It’s diffi cult to do, but he’s as good as any-one at doing that. If he stays there awhile, Mark is going to make them pretty good.”

““The kids automatically

understand that what he tells them is going

to work.

Honner, his former coach at Genoa High School, as an assistant. “His qual-ity experience and great human rela-tions coordinating did a lot to have ‘fun’ this season,” Sutter said. “He loves basketball and really genu-inely loves kids. His years coach-ing in the Army, GHS, Owens Community College, and Start High School are a classic example of his love of basketball. “Coach Honner and I want to wish the best of luck to all players this year in their respective efforts to contribute to their high school teams’ success. We hope we have given them something to take for their growth as a student-athlete. ‘Do not let anyone out work you — because the harder you work the luckier you will get.’” “I also want to thank Coach Honner for keeping us all loose and connected with


Area cagers lead Cavaliers into statewide tourneysBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

Experience is a key to success — the young and inexperienced Western Basin Toledo Cavaliers AAU basketball team found this out in almost every tournament this summer. Coach Arnie Sutter’s team, despite hav-ing players from Genoa, Gibsonburg, Cardi-nal Stritch Catholic, Woodmore, and Oak Harbor, could get to the winner’s bracket but could not do the little things to bring home the hardware. The success of the last two years (33-3 in 2011 and 18-12 in 2012) gave very little experience to almost a completely new starting fi ve and only one varsity experi-enced player for the 2013 Cavaliers. “We had a pretty good start in two big statewide tourneys in Columbus,” Sutter said. “We combined the experience of our only varsity player, Aaron Arnold from Elmwood. Aaron’s father played for me back in the 1980s and was a key factor in the Royals winning 18 games that year. Jordan Brennan (Genoa), Austin Pratt (Stritch), Jamal White (Genoa), and Ben and Bo Shaw from Clyde rounded out our start-ing fi ve for those two trips to Columbus. “Three of last years’ starters who we had hoped to play with us decided to fo-cus on baseball, football, and had family issues to keep them for contributing to our experience — which, by the way, is a key to most AAU programs. Most AAU teams have been together for at least four years,” Sutter said. “We did have some fi ne young players in our ‘second line’ — I like to borrow a hockey term for players off the bench. Jake

Ed Uher (Stritch) and Alec Young (Oak Harbor) are promising young junior varsity players who contributed valuable time, especially in our run for the Gold at the Perrysburg tourney, which we made the winner’s bracket semi-fi nals,” Sutter continued. “We enjoyed some fi ne ‘to be frosh’ guards from Sandusky (Cavon Groom and Telon Johnson), Jordan Bekier, and Bryce Pratt from Lake. We added some valuable experience, Jordan Faykosh, from East-wood, when a few of our very ‘outspoken parents’ decided to end their son’s growth as an AAU player. “Our 9-14 record was not the greatest. We had plenty of fun enjoying the hot tubs and swimming pools in Mansfi eld and in Columbus. I appreciated all the help driv-ing the players to our tourney sites.” Sutter had the aid of Coach Richard

all the fans before, during, and after the games.” Sutter also thanked Sanders, Eastwood coach Matt Routson, Dylan Berger at the Eastern YMCA, where the team held ‘Beef It Shooting’ clinics throughout the year sponsored by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Genoa Christian Community Academy for their effort securing a practice location.

Don Jablonski is back as the girls’ soc-cer coach at Lake High School, and he and the Flyers are looking for big things this season.

Jablonski, who helped start the Flyers’ soccer program back in 2003, coached at Lake through the 2005 season before mov-ing on to coach at Central Catholic for the last seven years. He made the move back to Lake after Kevin Lanning moved on after coaching for two seasons.

“The numbers at Central were dwin-dling and the freshman classes were getting smaller,” Jablonski said. “I wasn’t even sure we were going to have a team this year. I’m getting up in years (61), and I still wanted to do this.”

Jablonski takes over a program that has gone 49-0-1 in the Suburban Lakes League and Northern Buckeye Conference over the past fi ve years. Last year’s squad fi nished 14-3 and 10-0 in the NBC and outscored its opponents by a 68-9 margin. Lake lost to eventual state semifi nalist St. Ursula Acad-emy, 1-0, in the fi rst round of the postsea-son.

The Flyers will have to replace second-team All-Ohio forward Shelby Antonacci (21 goals, 11 assists), who is now at the University of Toledo, and Kayla Encalado (17 goals, 6 assists). They do, however, re-turn 10 full- or part-time starters and 11 let-terwinners.

“I have high expectations, and the girls expect that from me now,” Jablonski said. “I expect to win the league again. We have good leadership. The kids who came back from last year are great leaders. We have a strong incoming freshman class, where there’s probably fi ve freshmen who could start at any given time.”

Heading into Thursday’s home game against Genoa, the Flyers had a 2-1 record with wins over Otsego (9-0) and North-wood (5-0) and a 7-1 loss to St. Ursula on Monday.

“In the preseason we played North-view, Southview, Notre Dame, Anthony Wayne, Clay, Findlay,” Jablonski said. “Against Otsego, it showed, We dominated every aspect of the game. It was a good game

for me to show the kids what they need to do, and do it. We kind of sputtered against Northwood but still did very well. (Mon-day) night against St. Ursula, the speed of play hurt us. We were a step behind.”

Lake’s returning senior starters include forward Tabitha Aikman, who has three goals and two assists through three games, midfi elder Nicole Jones and center defender Nicole Pennington. Returning junior starters include center-mid Katie Phalen (3 goals), center-mid Jordyn Taylor, forward Alexis Hansen and center defender Allison Perry.

Jablonski said that Taylor, who led the team with 12 assists in 2012, is “probably the best all-around athlete on the team.” Aikman and Jones scored six and fi ve goals, respectively, a year ago.

“It’s a very talented group,” Jablon-

ski said. “I expect more from the kids who play at the top clubs. I was surprised to see the athleticism they have. Now we have to teach them how to use that and turn it into soccer skills.”

Returning sophomore starters include forward Chloe Huston and outside defend-ers Alicia Frisinger and McKenzie Britten-ham. Freshman Emily Lovell is the starting keeper and is backed up by sophomore Lauren Ozuk.

“I like Emily’s confi dence,” Jablonski said, “and she is technically sound.”

The coach added that three young players who will see a lot of time this sea-son are freshmen Kayla Saffran, Kaity Weis and Rebekah Swartz.

“We’ve changed to a new system of play, one that I used at Central, that produc-

es more goals,” Jablonski said. “We have to have speedy players, and this team is pretty quick. I have some talented freshmen who come from some good (travel) clubs. They play midfi eld and are great ballhandlers and they compete really well. That’s what I’m looking for from these girls, the way they compete.”

Jablonski added that the Flyers are pre-paring to make a long run in the postsea-son.

“They want to get out of the districts,” he said. “The last two years they’ve been in the same bracket with St. Ursula, which has moved up to Division I, so we have a good chance of getting out of districts. Our long-term goal is to get to regionals. That’s a good goal, and that’s a goal that can be accomplished.”

Lake girls’ soccer seeking to defend championship


Clay High School has only had four head baseball coaches in nearly 90 years, but the Eagles will soon get coach No. 5.

Garry Isbell, who took over for 13-year veteran coach Karl Knierim prior to the 2010 season, said he met with the Clay adminis-tration about two weeks ago to tell them he would no longer be the Eagles’ coach.

The other three coaches over those nine decades were Harold Potter, who coached for about a half century, Richard Kandik, who led his team to the Class AAA state championship in 1979, and Knierim was head coach before becoming an assis-tant under Isbell.

“We will miss Coach Isbell’s passion for coaching high school baseball. Garry truly cares about his players” states Athlet-ic Director Mike Donnelly. “We wish him well in his future endeavors.”

A search has already begun for the next head baseball coach, says Donnelly.

“Our goal is to have a new coach in place toward the end of September if not sooner. We will be following the process as spelled out in our bargaining agreement. I have no doubt that we will attract quality candidates.”

Isbell, 35, said he met with the Clay players last week to give them the news that he and Knierim were opening their own business venture near the Hollywood Casino.

“Some of the kids were excited (for

Isbell, Knierim leave baseball for business venture

me) and some of them were upset,” Isbell said. “They had mixed emotions.”

Isbell, who guided the Eagles to a 16-14 record, a runner-up fi nish in the Three Riv-ers Athletic Conference and a district title last season, and Knierim are opening Strike Zone Sports Training, located at 202 W. Flor-ence Ave. The facility boasts 12,000 square feet and is scheduled to open Dec. 1.

“Clay’s gymnastics coach, Nick Distel, runs a gym out of the same building,” Is-bell said. “He’s got 10,000 square feet over there, and we’re going to have one of the bays next to him.”

Isbell said he and Knierim have been working toward opening the new baseball-softball facility for six months.

“As we kind of dove into it we fi gured out that with us being the owners, we’re go-ing to have to be there a lot,” Isbell said. “I don’t want to say (Clay) baseball was going

to get in the way, but it would take up our time in the spring. I’m real excited about this. Now we’ll be able to work with Clay kids and all of the Northwest Ohio kids over there.”

Knierim had a successful run as the Eagles’ baseball coach. In 13 seasons he compiled a 235-105 record with three re-gional tournament appearances. He is also a member of the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches’ Hall of Fame.

Prior to taking over for Knierim in 2010, Isbell was involved with the Eagles’ baseball program for nine years, includ-ing six as Knierim’s varsity assistant. The Eagles won two City League titles and three Great Lakes League titles under Knierim.

Isbell said one exciting aspect of his new venture will be the fact that he will not be restricted to the amount of hours he is able to work with the Clay players. The Ohio High School Athletic Association lim-its the amount of hours a coach is allowed to spend with players in the offseason.

“The kids can get there and I can work with them all year round,” Isbell said. “As it is now, we can’t work with the kids until March. I have an opportunity to make them better.”

Strike Zone Sports Training features six hitting tunnels, four pitching lanes and an open area for infi eld and outfi eld defen-sive drills.

“I have a little boy who is 9 and is into travel baseball and fl ag football,” Isbell said. “We will use the facility for those things, also. We want to be able to service all of the high school teams in the winter and the

gazillion youth travel softball and baseball teams that get started in November. Hope-fully, we’ll be able to service their winter needs. We’re going to give it a good go.”

Isbell said he and Knierim will contin-ue to teach at Clay. Knierem teaches physi-cal education and Isbell is a special needs teacher. Isbell said he would like to see ju-nior varsity coach Jason Box succeed him at the varsity level.

“Jason has been my jayvee coach the last three years, and he played for Karl,” Isbell said. “I don’t know if they (Clay ad-ministration) have anybody in mind. The job is posted in our district and I don’t know if anybody is going to apply for it. I would recommend Jason. I think he’s very qualifi ed for the position.

“We have a lot of good Clay guys out and about in the community who would do a phenomenal job. I don’t think they’ll have a hard time fi lling that position.”

Bring the kids. Stay and learn a thing or two

yourself. Where did we ever get the idea that “Sunday School” was just for the

little ones? Sure...it’s important that our children have a good, solid introduction to the faith. But do we really stop learning somewhere around age 12? Good heavens...let’s hope not! Which is why when you bring your children to Sunday School at Grace, you’ll find more than grade-level classes for pre-schoolers through 6th graders taught by caring, experienced teachers. You’ll also find a ministry developed specifically for infants and toddlers. And a special study group just for junior high kids. And another gathering of high school youth. And three different learning options for adults...an in-depth Bible study, a gathering designed just for parents, and a rather free-wheeling discussion group that lets the conversation flow with the needs of the day and the guidance of the Spirit. All these good things are happening right here every Sunday morning beginning September 9 at 9:15am. You don’t have to be a member. You don’t have to be a Bible scholar. You don’t need a ticket or a password. You don’t even have to be sure you’re ready to get hooked up with a church. You just have to come and check it out. So...bring the kids. They’ll love it. And we’re betting that there’s something pretty special here for you, too.

Which is why when you bring your children to Sunday School at Grace, you’ll find more than grade-level classes for pre-schoolers through 6th graders taught by caring, ex-perienced teachers. You’ll also find a ministry developed specifically for infants and toddlers. And a special study group just for junior high kids. And another gathering of high school youth. And three different learning options for adults...an in-depth Bible study, a gathering designed just for parents, and a rather free-wheeling discussion group that lets the conversation flow with the needs of the day and the guidance of the Spirit.

All these good things are happening right here every Sunday morning beginning September 8 at 9:15am. You don’t have to be a member. You don’t have to be a Bible scholar. You don’t need a ticket or a password. You don’t even have to be sure you’re ready to get hooked up with a church. You just have to come and check it out. So...bring the kids. They’ll love it. And we’re betting that there’s something pretty special here for you, too.

Beginning Sunday, September 8...Worship at 8:00am & 10:30am; Sunday School at 9:15am

Reaghan Pietrowski didn’t want any-thing to do with tutus and leotards when she was a young girl.

Even at age 5, she had her eye on skates and hockey sticks.

“My brother (Tyler) played hockey and I would always go to his games,” Reaghan said. “My mom signed me up for ballet and I said, ‘I don’t like doing this. I want to play hockey and I want to do this all my life.’ ”

Reaghan’s mom, Kersten, said she and her husband, Mike, have fond memories of watching their daughter playing hockey in the family driveway in Curtice with Tyler (now 17), when she was 5 years old.

“She just loved it,” Kersten said. “She’s a tough girl because of it. When she was playing with boys, everyone kind of laughed because she never backed down. She had an older brother who did not go easy on her.”

Reaghan, 12, is now in her fi rst season playing for the Little Caesars AAA 12-U girls hockey team, based in Detroit. For the past two years, however, she played forward on the Sylvania Maple Leafs’ Team Raszka, an all-boys team. The team’s manager is Ray St. John, also a Curtice resident.

“This is a team of boys, with her as the only girl, in which she was as much as one and a half years younger than any boy on the team,” St. John said. “She has always worked as hard, if not harder, on and off the ice than any of the older boys on the team. She has always shown determination, ded-ication and commitment to being a leader and a role model for everyone around her.

“She has been a huge part of helping our team win back-to-back LCAHL cham-pionships. This girl has made such an im-pression on her teammates, coaches and

Pietrowski looking to be next female star

““This girl has made such an impression on her teammates, coaches, and myself as team

manager. She makes everybody better just being around her.

Reaghan Pietrowski

myself as team manager. She makes every-body better just being around her.”

Reaghan, a high honor-roll seventh-grader at Genoa Junior High, said she played goalie in her fi rst organized hockey game.

“I have a memory of me being a goalie for the fi rst time,” she said. “The boys said they were going to score on me, and I got a shutout. When I was little, hockey wasn’t that hard for me. I don’t know why. I got a bunch of goals when I was little. When I was a little younger they all thought I was just a joke or something. Then I went out there and they were like, whoa.”

Reaghan and her parents and coaches realized in the last year or so that maybe it was time for Reaghan to start playing for a girls’ team.

“The boys are at the age where there is checking, and they’re getting pretty big,” St. John said. “We felt this was the year to move to girls. Not that the girls are easy, they’re just not as hard. At fi rst she really wanted to be involved with checking, but I fi nally convinced her about the move. She’s very excited to be with the girls.”

Reaghan said she noticed last season that she was getting checked a lot.

“They weren’t calling that many penal-ties for checking,” Reaghan said. “The girls, they don’t check, and they take the penalties seriously. My mom wanted me to go to the girls’ team because the (boys teams) started checking, and I kind of agreed. I thought it would be fun to check, but when I thought about it I knew it would be kind of hard. I think I’m good where I am now.”

Reaghan’s new team competes in the High Performance Hockey League (HPHL) and has home games in downtown Detroit. The team also plays games in Canada and, according to St. John, is ranked in the top 10 in North America.

Reaghan scored two goals in Little Cae-sars’ season-opening win Monday night.

“We did good,” Reaghan said. “We played in Tier II and they were a little older than us.”

Reaghan added that one bonus to play-ing on an all-girls team now is that she gets to dress with the rest of her teammates.

“It’s funny, but I get to actually be in the locker room now,” she said. “Before, I would be in the bathroom or sometimes they would have an extra locker room or a referees’ room.”

Walleye get Thorne back

Forward Stephon Thorne has agreed to terms with the Toledo Wall-eye for the 2013-14 season.

Thorne skated in 37 games with Toledo after being claimed off of waiv-ers from Fort Wayne. With the Walleye he scored fi ve goals, added six assists and 58 penalty minutes. The native of Mississauga, Ontario had two goals, one assist and 37 penalty minutes in 26 games last year with the Komets.

“We loved the energy and spark to the team that Stephon gave us night in and night out last year,” Coach Nick Vitucci said. “He is also a strong pen-alty killer and has that knack to do something on the ice right when we need it.”

His fi rst professional season was in 2011-12 when he helped the Fort Wayne Komets win the CHL Champi-onship. Thorne had 11 goals, 21 as-sists and 90 penalty minutes that fi rst year. The six-foot, 180 pound forward appeared in 189 games in the Ontario Hockey League before turning profes-sional with 32 goals, 25 assists and 236 penalty minutes over four seasons. Hen Pitcher of Week

The International League has named Toledo pitcher Blaine Hardy as the League’s Pitcher of the Week for the period from August 19-25.

Hardy was nearly perfect in his two starts last week, picking up wins in both games and allowing just four hits in 16 scoreless innings. The southpaw tossed a one-hitter on Monday, August 19 at Fifth Third Field against Gwin-nett.

nspirational essage of the eek: The Human ConditionThe Bible provides us with many good examples of

humanity. Adam, Moses, and Jesus are archetypes of

humanity. But, it is also true that being human is radically

different now than it was in Biblical times. Culture and

technology have changed us to such an extent that being

human in the modern world is fundamentally different than it

was in the ancient world, or even a few hundred years ago.

Our species may not have changed much in terms of

biology, but in terms of psychology and culture, the

differences are vast. This goes beyond such superficial

questions as whether Jesus would have a Twitter account

or a Facebook page were he alive today. Part of what

defines us as human is that we are cultural beings. That is,

we grow up within a culture and that particular culture is

grafted onto us. This is one of the reasons why the

humanities are important as an area of study. Humanity is

constantly reinventing itself, all the while questioning the

implications of that reinvention. One reason to study the

Bible is because it gives a number of very deep answers to

the question of what it means to be human. “No one can

comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their

efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning.

Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really

comprehend it." Ecclesiastes 8:17

SHEEBA

Hi there, my name is Sheeba, and I am

the sweetest girl you will ever meet! I was

picked up as a stray. I am looking for a

family with older children and a big back

yard to run in. I love other dogs but I can

be so playful that I will need to meet any

that I may live with. If you are looking to

add a fabulous addition to your family,

look no further! 60+ of my canine friends

and I are currently up for adoption at the

Lucas County Dog Warden - 410 S Erie St

- 419.213.2800, open Mon-Fri 10-6, and

Sat 10-5. The LCDW is always looking to

recruit more volunteers as well as

donations of blankets, towels and dog

supplies. If you are missing your dog

PLEASE come and look at the Dog

Warden's office. You can check us out on

Petfinder.com, Petharbor.com, and on

Facebook.
