The reasons for the rebirth of American manufacturing are the same reasons that could put the Toledo area at the top of the list for the return of American jobs that years ago were outsourced to countries with low labor costs. While there’s debate about the strength of this renaissance, there’s no doubt the playing fi eld has leveled and factors other than labor costs are driving manufacturers to move operations here. D.

Manufacturing
area: Kuka Systems, a German company located on the Jeep complex, has added about 175 jobs in the past two years to sup-ply Jeep which has added 2,000 jobs in the past three years. And Topre, a Japanese tier one auto supplier, last year opened an engi-neering offi ce in Maumee. Zito expects oth-ers Japanese companies to follow. He said a survey of Japanese manufacturers by the Japan External Trade Organization showed 60 percent of companies who have opera-tions outside of Japan plan to invest in the U.S. within two years to produce goods to be sold here. Another factor driving this uptick is that, given all the political unrest in the world, the U.S. is seen as being both politi-cally and economically stable. That stability attracts investment. This local anecdotal evidence is a good sign manufacturing is coming back. So too is a 2013 survey of 200 decision makers at U.S. companies with sales greater than $1 billion. The survey conducted by the Boston Consulting Group reported that 57 percent of decision makers are planning to shift overseas production to the U.S. The Boston group concluded in a 2013 report that this reshoring of American fi rms coupled with increased exports due to improved U.S. competitiveness could create 2.5 to 5 mil-lion jobs. Not everyone is that optimistic, how-ever. A June article by the Harvard Business Review downplays the notion of a renais-sance. The author cites a study that shows a “modest improvement” and called this a “rebalancing” of manufacturing which had shifted to lower-cost nations. The term “modest improvement” might be more accurate than renaissance when you take into consideration the challenges WalMart faces in its effort to spend $50 bil-lion more on U.S. products in the next de-cade. The retail giant launched its Made-In-America Initiative last August when it brought together 500 suppliers, 32 state governments and major retail industry lead-ers to a manufacturing summit. It pledged to spend $50 billion, 10 percent of its retail sales, on American made products and im-mediately announced contracts with six suppliers that would create 1,000 jobs. So, how has it gone? Slower than expected. A Reuters article detailed the problems WalMart is having. Ironically, the company probably the most responsible for the shift in manufacturing from U.S. shores to China, is having diffi culty locating companies that can fi nd American made components to build the products as well as an experienced workforce to assemble them. This diffi culty, however, will not stop America’s largest retailer. WalMart has more than 10,800 stores and serves 245 million customers a week. It will do what is in its best interest and in the near future the com-pany believes that will be selling American made products because it will be able to deliver them to American consumers at the lowest cost.

You wouldn’t think the concept of “Make It In America” would be that hard to sell in the nation’s capital. After all, get-ting more Americans back to work by cre-ating the right conditions for manufactur-ing businesses to invest, expand and hire seems like common sense. America has always been an innovation hub and ought to continue to be for generations to come. It is why I have supported the Make It In America agenda in the House as a blueprint for the job creation America needs. The “Make It in America” agenda aims to revitalize our manufacturing sector in order to increase economic competitive-ness and create jobs that won’t be shipped overseas. The concept has the support of business, labor, economists, and even a large number of my Republican colleagues. The fact is that you could go to the most Republican district in America and talk about making it in America, and heads will nod in agreement. And, you could go to the most Democratic district and talk about making it in America and heads will move in agreement. It is a unifying agenda in a country that is looking for a way forward. As a case in point, manufacturing has been a bright spot in our economic recovery by increasing jobs and helping other sec-tors expand. Manufacturing also taps into a fundamental American value: In America, we make things. The production of goods has played a major role in our history, and Americans overwhelmingly believe that making things here ought to be part of our future. Americans watched for years as manu-
It makes sense to make it in America
facturing jobs were shipped abroad and bad trade deals became the order of the day. After the decimation of our economy by the North American Free Trade Act and Most Favored Nation (MFN) status for China, the rising costs of production in places such as Mexico and China has brought attention back to U.S. investment as companies are beginning to bring jobs back home. Here, they seek the experience, talent and pro-ductivity of American workers. Google, Ford and Caterpillar have all brought back jobs, recognizing the benefi ts to U.S. pro-duction and innovation. The President has acknowledged the trend saying: “We have a huge opportuni-ty, at this moment, to bring manufacturing back. But we have to seize it. …It’s time to stop rewarding businesses that ship jobs overseas and start rewarding companies
that create jobs right here in America.” He’s exactly right. Manufacturing has the potential to be a jobs-creating engine. But the feedback I have heard from manufacturers interested in moving their production here is that we need to do more to prepare the work-ers they need — workers with specialized skills in technology and engineering. And our infrastructure network, critical to mov-ing goods to market, is in serious disrepair. The Make It In America plan takes a comprehensive approach toward creating the environment that businesses need to succeed and add jobs. It includes prepar-ing a skilled workforce, investing in infra-structure, making it easier for businesses to invest in research, and reforming the corporate tax system to help companies bring jobs back home. [Among the bills in the agenda: The Workers Opportunity and Retraining Competitive Grant Program would establish a manufacturing grant pro-gram that provides scholarships to unem-ployed workers for manufacturing job re-training; the Education for Jobs Act would expand federal student-loan programs to working professionals and others who may have diffi culty meeting current require-ments; and, the Manufacturing Jobs for Veterans Act would accelerate training for veterans in manufacturing careers.] In America, the wealthiest country in the world, we will lose only if we fail to invest in the priorities of success. It’s time we harnessed that great American prob-lem-solving energy once more and put it to work creating jobs that won’t be shipped overseas. Manufacturing can be that solu-tion, but Congress must resolve that we need to “Make It In America.”
Since the beginning of 2014, the Federal Trade Commission has sent about a dozen “closing letters” to companies it found were not complying with regulations covering Made in USA product labeling. The letters inform companies that the commission found there was a violation but it agrees not to pursue the matter fur-ther if the company agrees to follow cor-rective steps. The letters conclude with the commission stating it reserves the right to take additional action “as the public inter-est may require.” A sampling:• In July, Fresh Produce Holdings agreed to update its website, review its country-of-origin claims and enhance compliance controls after it was determined its mar-keting materials may have overstated the extent that clothing and accessory products containing imported content were made in the U.S.• In February, Niagara Industries agreed to remove unqualifi ed U.S.-origin claims from marketing and use new product packaging. Although the company’s tank-less water heaters are assembled in the U.S. and con-tain some domestic components, several key components are imported.• In January, AS America, Inc. agreed to re-train employees who generate bar code labels, correct labels on inventory and re-
Agency keeps tabs on ‘USA’ marketing claims
view country-of-origin claims on market-ing materials after it was discovered some American Standard-branded toilets con-taining substantial imported content had been marked “Made in USA.” Julia Solomon Ensor, an FTC staff at-torney, said the agency tries to avoid an adversarial approach when enforcing the regulations. “In this area we typically do a lot of staff counseling for companies,” she said. ”We think it’s really important that com-panies can make their legitimate made in the USA claims. But on the other hand we want to make sure consumers aren’t being deceived. In many instances we work with companies to help them make sure that their claims are truthful. Complaints often come from competi-tors of companies making the allegedly
false claims. “We typically receive several com-plaints every month about companies that are making potentially deceptive claims. A lot of times those complaints come in from competitors because they are in a better po-sition to determine whether the claims are true or false. Consumers are not really able to look at a product and judge just from the face of the product whether the claim is true or not,” Solomon Ensor said. Complaints can be fi led on the FTC website but many companies contact Solomon Ensor and staffers directly. The commission this summer reached an agreement with an Ohio company that provided “Made in USA” certifi cation la-bels to marketers. Columbus-based Made in the USA Brand, LLC charged $250 to $2,000 for a one-year license to use the certifi cation la-bel, according to the FTC, but the company didn’t independently evaluate the products before certifying them. It also had no proce-dures in place to determine whether mar-keters complied with FTC standards. “Seals can be very helpful when con-sumers purchase products based on claims that are diffi cult to verify – like the Made in the USA claim,” said Jessica Rich, di-rector of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “When marketers provide seals without any verifi cation, or without telling consumers the seal is unverifi ed, consum-ers are deceived and the value of all mar-keters’ seals is diminished.”

There’s no place like home…when you buy AmericanBy Tammy Walro and Stephanie Szozda When it’s time to buy furnishings for their homes, many consumers do a little research before heading to the store, particularly when making a major purchase. Besides comparing cost of items, shoppers consider the style, function and quality before spending their hard-earned cash. But what about where the goods are manufactured?
According to a survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, given a choice between a product made in the U.S. and an identical one made abroad, 78 percent of Americans would rather buy the American product. Choosing to buy products made in the United States keeps jobs here. It also helps assure that human rights, safety and environmental standar ds are being met.
Recently, The Press set out to try to furnish a virtual house with products made in the U.S. We found many. A number of products were clearly labeled, “Made in America,” but in all cases, sales associates were happy to show items that were manufactured in the U.S. The cost of the American-made goods varied widely and in many cases, less expensive and higher-end options of the items we chose were available.

In Sherrod Brown’s opinion, if there is one item the federal government routinely purchases that should be made in the U.S. it is the American fl ag. A bill the Ohio senator introduced, the All-American Flag Act, would require American fl ags bought by the government to be produced entirely with American-made materials. Currently, the federal government is only required to purchase fl ags made from a minimum of 50 percent American produced materials. “With Ohio companies proudly producing the American fl ag, taxpayer funds shouldn’t be used to purchase fl ags from other countries,” Sen. Brown said. “It’s easy to buy an American fl ag made in Ohio. RS Sewing, Inc., in Canton, is the nation’s largest supplier of American-made stick fl ags, and Annin Flagmakers has a manufacturing plant in Coshocton.” The fl ag act bill cleared the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and is awaiting a vote by the full Senate.
Revitalization bill During a visit to Lauren Manufacturing in New Philadelphia, O. last month, Sen. Brown urged passage of a bill that aims to boost manufacturing by fostering collaboration between universities, industry and the federal government. The senator said the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act had bi-partisan support and would make collaboration easier by establishing
Senator pushes for local manufacturingpublic-private institutes to leverage resources needed to bridge the gap between basic research and product development. “While we’ve made great advancements, like here in New Philadelphia, there’s still more to be made and more jobs to create,” he said. The bill was approved by the Senate Commerce Committee in April and is awaiting a vote by the full Senate.
Trade decision lauded Last month, Sen. Brown and Sen. Rob Portman voiced their support of a U.S. International Trade Commission ruling protecting domestic steel manufacturers. After months of prodding by the senators, the ITC ruled that it would levy trade tariffs against the countries, including South Korea, for unfair trade practices. The ITC vote imposes anti-dumping duties on six of the nine countries which were accused of exporting what are called dumped “oil country tubular goods” into the United States. The six countries represent 90 percent of dumped imports into the U.S. last year, the senators said. “Ohio pipe and tube companies are among the best in the world, but we must stand up to foreign competitors who break trade rules at the expense of Ohio workers,” Portman said. Oil country tubular steel goods (OCTG) are used for domestic oil exploration, The U.S. Department of Commerce investigated the dumping of OCTG into the U.S. market from nine countries, including India, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam.

Bueno Vida Bueno Vida is a Mexican cuisine food truck operated by Bowling Green resident and “The Hatch” entrepreneur Scott Hodges. Hodges went on a quest to Atlanta to buy his taco truck for his start up business and then brought the popular California-style taco truck to Northwest Ohio, where he sets up in places like downtown Bowling Green and Toledo. Hodges had the help of Kirk Kern, di-rector of the Dallas-Hamilton Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, and one of the Bowling Green State University alumni in-vestors and retired venture capitalist, Earle Malm. Bueno Vida is now one of several food trucks that set up in downtown Toledo.

because of the gas station. “If you look at the proposed develop-ment for this corner, almost all the uses proposed would be automatically al-lowed without any permit,” he said. “The strip mall could be carried out or put in without seeking an additional permit of any kind. But a gas station in Oregon is al-ways either a conditional use or a special use depending on where you’re locating it. In a C-5, it is a special use.” Other com-mercially zoned property would require a conditional use, he added. “A gas station itself is always some-thing that either comes to the plan com-mission for a special or conditional ap-proval or ultimately to a council,” he said. The developers do not need any waivers or setbacks, he said. “It comes with fewer strings than some. I don’t think in this case there would be exceptions allowed – no setback or buffering reductions. Everything in their proposal will fi t within the footprint and the parameters of our code, but a gas station is always either a conditional or special use because of the consideration of the impact of that use,” said Beazley. Councilman James Seaman said the
gas station would attract more customers to the strip mall and is needed for its suc-cess. “Maybe a strip mall has a better chance if there’s a gas station,” he said. “It rounds out the ability of that strip to be economically viable. That’s part of the total picture to make the strip successful. Sometimes, that’s the way an entrepre-neur looks at things. We have to keep that in mind.” Seferian agreed. “You’re exactly right because when you’re building a strip mall…you’re look-ing for traffi c fl ow into your complex. They know a service station usually pro-vides, for the most part, an essential part of someone’s budget,” said Seferian.
Councilman Tim Zale, though, said the city’s master plan had wanted to keep more retail businesses west of Wynn Road. “I’ve never personally equated a gas station with going shopping. I don’t see the relevancy there,” said Zale. “I’m not opposed, necessarily, to a gas station, po-tentially coming to that area. When I look at the idea of a strip mall being added to that, we can’t fi ll the areas of retail inside the city with strip malls now versus put-ting one in a location way out there. I don’t know if that area personally is ready for development of that kind.” He expected a lot of opposition to the zoning change. “It’s in my neighborhood and I have received a lot of calls of concern from neighbors,” he said. He also said it is council’s responsi-bility to “somewhat regulate” what type of businesses go into certain locations. “We have to be cautions about how we do that, I agree, because we don’t want to interfere with good development in the city. But at the same time, I do think it is incumbent upon us to somewhat regulate businesses and where they are going to be in the city,” he said.

HEARING AIDS by Brian Pratt
New principalto talk goalsat Sept. meeting Todd Deem, Waite’s new princi-pal, will speak to the East Toledo Club Thursday, September 18 at Noon at the East Toledo Senior Center. The public is invited. Deem will talk about his goals to make Waite the best comprehensive public school in the city of Toledo. He will address his efforts to continue the Waite traditions of service to the com-munity, activities and the relationship with the Waite Alumni Association to the school. He also will talk about his plans to increase the school’s emphasis on ath-letics. Deem most recently was princi-pal at Riverside Elementary in North Toledo. He grew up in the Raymer district, graduated from Waite in 1988 and spent 10 years working at the East Toledo Family Center before embark-ing on a career in education. Deem, 44, is just the 11th princi-pal in Waite’s 101 years. Compare this to the average stay nationwide for a high school principal--four years, ac-cording to some studies. He follows in the footsteps of Dave Yenrick who served as principal for 17 years.
The Press wins The Press Newspapers won three awards from the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists for publica-tions with a circulation of fewer than 75,000. Managing Editor John Szozda won second place in the best colum-nist category. Szozda, News Editor Larry Limpf, Sports Editor Pat Eaken, Features Editor Tammy Walro and Photographer Ken Grosjean won sec-ond place in social issues report-ing for the special section “Housing in East Toledo: Downward Spiral or Opportunity, which looked at the pre-cipitous decline in housing values, what contributed to that decline, the emergence of absentee landlords and what is being done to rekindle the American dream of owning a home. Kelly J. Kaczala and Melissa A. Burden won second place in public records use for their story, “Questions raised over the need for senior levy,” which uncovered information on whether voters were given accurate information on the need for a new se-nior services levy that would be on the November 2013 ballot in Oregon.
By Larry LimpfNews [email protected] The Lake Township trustees may be wading into a sea of red tape if they seek to have a parcel of land along Ayers Road drained. The 8.5-acre parcel west of the inter-section of Ayers and Bradner roads has brought complaints from a few residents, Richard Welling, a trustee, said at a re-cent meeting. A drainage ditch along Ayers doesn’t drain the parcel, he said. Consequently, it is often fl ooded and a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The county engineer’s offi ce had said the property isn’t the responsibility of the county, Welling said. The trustees briefl y discussed the property but heeded the advice of Dave Miesmer, township zoning inspector, who said the parcel should be researched to determine if it’s on a protected inven-tory list of wetlands. Dina Pearce, a spokesperson for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, said the agency advises local govern-ments and residents to not rely solely on wetland inventories before embarking on
Trustees ask, is this parcel a wetland?a project. “Ohio EPA does not maintain a wet-land inventory. Inventories maintained by other agencies do exist; however, the wetlands listed in inventories have not all been verifi ed by an on-the-ground sur-vey of the site and they do not necessar-ily represent every wetland that is sub-ject to regulation,” she said. “We advise people not to rely on wetland inventories because they are frequently inaccurate.” The agency does, however, regulate the fi lling in of wetlands. “Drainage of an existing wetland is not regulated by Ohio EPA – as long as they are not fi lling or moving soil around in the wetland. If they fi nd a way to drain the wetland without putting anything in it, no permit would be required,” Pearce said, noting landowners should consult with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before doing any construction or other work on the site. If a wetland is subject to the Corps’ jurisdiction, a permit from the Corps will be required prior to any construction ac-tivities, she said. If a project requires a permit, then a water quality certifi cation permit from the EPA is also required. Ohio law prohibits destruction of the
highest quality wetlands, known as cat-egory 3 wetlands, unless it is for public need, Pearce said. Public need would in-clude projects such as roads and bridges and public buildings such as schools, hospitals and government buildings. The law makes exceptions for agri-culture and forestry/timber uses. Mark Hummer, township adminis-trator, said it is unlikely the township would take any action on the privately-owned parcel barring a proven health hazard. Bruce Sanders, a spokesman for the Buffalo district of the Corps, said his of-fi ce hasn’t received any requests to deter-mine if the parcel would come under its jurisdiction. “There are inventories that exist for both the federal and states,” he said. “But our procedure is if we get a request for a determination we send someone to the site rather than relying on satellite pho-tos or maps,” he said. The Wood County auditor’s web-site lists the owners of the property as Charles and Betty Guthrie. They could not be reached for comment.

Reward fund started The Maritime Academy of Toledo Foundation has started a reward fund to help solve the murder of Tyler McIntoush, a 16-year old academy ca-det who was shot and killed July 24 after walking a friend home. The foundation’s reward fund ef-forts are separate from the well-known Crimestopper program. Money raised will be put into a separate reward fund account. In the event that someone comes forth with information lead-ing to an arrest and conviction, The Maritime Academy Foundation will be responsible for paying out the reward. Tipsters can remain anonymous. Thus far, $2,500 has been raised for the reward fund. Those wishing to contribute should send a check or drop off donations to The Maritime Academy of Toledo, 803 Water St., Toledo, OH 43604. Checks should be made payable to “The Maritime Academy of Toledo Foundation.” For more information, call 419-244-9999. Anyone with information on McIntoush’s murder is asked to call Crimestopper at 419-255-1111.
Thefts at fest Oregon Police are investigating thefts that occurred in connection with the recent German American Festival held at Oak Shade Grove. According to Festival Chairman Tim Pecsenye, a cuckoo clock valued at $1,700 was reported stolen by a ven-dor Sunday night after the vendors had shut down their booths. In addition “Euro Express,” who performed at the festival, reported all their band equipment had been stolen from a trailer parked at a local hotel. “A few years ago, there was a similar situation where a few golf carts were stolen from GAF,” Pecsenye said. “Fortunately, however, through social contact at several events and active conversation, tips were given and the golf carts were recovered. Anyone with information is urged to call the Oregon police at 419-698-7064.
Suspect caught A Chesterfi eld, Mich., man has been charged with burglary, obstruc-tion of offi cial business and possession of drug abuse instruments after Lake Township police responded Aug. 26 to a call of a burglary in progress. Brandon Radulski, 31, was report-edly in the back yard of a residence in the 28000 block of Bradner Road when police arrived and chased him on foot to Case Street. He was placed in the Wood County Justice Center. Police said he had a duffl e bag containing money and jewelry.
A ceremony in honor of the 100th an-niversary of the dedication of the Peter Navarre Monument will be held Friday, September 5, at 2:00 p.m. Peter Navarre (Larry Michaels) and Robert Navarre (Terry Breymaier) will participate in the program coordinated by Robyn Hage. The monument at the corner of Navarre Avenue and White Street was dedicated on July 4, 1914. The guns on the monu-ment are in honor of both Peter and Robert Navarre for their services as scouts for General Harrison during the War of 1812. About 5,000 “patriotic citizens” were in
Ceremony set at monument attendance at the dedication. Capt. George Scheets, former Mayor of Toledo and secre-tary of the Ford Post, was chairman of the event. William H. Tucker, president of the East Toledo Commercial Club, was the mas-ter of ceremonies. Also present at the dedication were Peter’s three surviving sons (Oliver, Eli, and Lambert) and his two daughters (Susan and Zoa). Robert R., the last son of Robert the scout, died just a few months before the monument was dedicated. Victoria Caderact, the last Chippewa on the East Side, was too ill to attend, and she died the following year.

Oregon city council on Monday approved collective bargaining agree-ments with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and the Oregon Police Command Offi cers/Fraternal Order of Police. The previous collective bargaining agreements with AFSCME and the Oregon Police Command Offi cers/Fraternal Order of Police had expired on June 30 and May 31, 2014 respectively. The renewed contracts included pay raises over a three year period. As of July 14, 2014, employees received a 3 percent raise, which will be followed by 2 ¾ per-cent raise in July 2015, and a 2 ½ percent raise in July 2016. The contracts are similar to the three year contract approved by council in June for the Oregon Police Patrolmen’s Association (OPPA) that included salary increases for police and dispatchers, said Mayor Mike Seferian. “The substantial parts of the contract wages are identical,” he said. “The OPPA set the standard.” “We feel this will continue to posi-tion Oregon as being able to attract and retain quality employees at the same time being responsible with the budget,” said Administrator Mike Beazley. “One of the signifi cant aspects of it was looking long term at getting greater control of our health care costs. We think we can do better with that,” he said. Both contracts, as well as the contract with the OPPA, include the provision for the establishment of a Healthcare Cost Containment and Advisory Committee that will meet quarterly. It will serve in an ad-visory and recommending capacity to the employer and bargaining units on matters related to health care, health insurance and coverage, and wellness of employees. The committee will investigate methods and best approaches to providing health care and insurance for city employees and op-tions to contain the overall costs of health care. “We’re going to have ongoing recom-mendations to changes in health care dur-ing the life of the contracts in ways we think can responsibly meet the needs of our workforce, but also help control costs,” said Beazley. “It was a primary management ob-jective.” Both contracts had been approved by the respective unions last month, added Beazley.
New rescue squads Council also approved the purchase of two new rescue squads for the fi re depart-ment. Oregon will pay $185,000 per vehicle to Penn Care, of Niles, Ohio, for the two 2014 Braun rescue squads.
City of Oregon ok’s contracts with unions “We’re beyond the useful life on some of our equipment, and its equipment we be-lieve is essential to the care that we provide to our residents,” said Beazley. Fire Chief Paul Mullen said the squads will replace two van-type squads from 1999 and 2004. They include few add-ons with the exception of the Stryker power cot and load system, which will reduce strenuous lifting and the associated risk of back injury. “It is an electrically operated hydrau-lically powered cot that hopefully will save us some Workers Comp injuries,” said Mullen. Lucas County life squads currently have the system, which self-loads into the
trucks, he added. “It has worked very, very effectively for the county.” He said he hopes to get a grant to pur-chase more of the power cot and load sys-tems for the city’s other rigs. In the next few months, the committee will look into replacing fi re engines that are past their service dates as well as other fi re equipment, said Mullen. Councilman Tim Zale said he toured the fi re stations with Mullen soon after he was appointed chief earlier this year and saw the need to update the stations and fi re equipment.

Train/truck crash There were no injuries reported in a train/truck crash Aug. 22 at a cross-ing on Martin Williston Road in OttawaCounty, the sheriff’s department said. A semi was travelling north on the road at around 8:50 a.m. when its trail-er became stuck on the tracks. A train coming from the west stuck the truck. Sheriff’s deputies said the driv-er was able to exit the truck before the crash but the vehicle, which was leased to the Helena Chemical Co., was a total loss.
Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian and Administrator Mike Beazley told council at a meeting on Monday that the city’s phone alert system is an effective tool in inform-ing residents about public emergencies. “I just wanted to remind people in the community that our Oregon alerts emer-gency call system is out there and function-ing,” said Beazley. Residents may want to contact the city to make sure their phone numbers are on fi le for the “Oregon Alerts! program so that the free automated call system can contact them during emergencies. Residents can sign up for the program at the city’s website at http://www.oregono-hio.org/ or call the city to register, he add-ed. By signing up, residents will receive emergency alerts from Oregon and Lucas County in the event of an emergency or tor-nado warning. A voice or text alert will be sent to the phone numbers on fi le and/or email addresses. “It is a very good system, but we al-ways used to hear that some residents don’t get a call. They will want to be sure they’re signed up for it and just go to our website or call us and we can take it over the phone,” he said. Seferian and Beazley said the issue of the notifi cation process came up following unfounded rumors that the city’s tap water was unsafe to drink. Rumors have popped up since Toledo
Seferian assures residents about alert systemlast month issued a three day ban on the use of municipal tap water after high levels of microcystin were found in water sam-ples taken from Toledo’s Collins Park water treatment plant. Microcystin can cause abnormal liv-er function in humans and animals. It is produced by the blue green algal blooms in Lake Erie and is mainly fed by phosphorus from agricultural runoff. Oregon was unaffected by Toledo’s drinking ban because it has its own water treatment plant, which provides water to many communities in the area. Still, the water source for Toledo’s and Oregon’s wa-ter treatment plants is Lake Erie’s Western Basin, which has been plagued by large blue green algal blooms for years. The raw water intake for each community is about a mile apart. Though Toledo has not had another ban, unfounded rumors persist about con-taminated tap water, causing some to revert to drinking bottled water. Unlike Oregon, Toledo does not have an emergency notifi cation system, and many were left unaware of the ban, which was issued to the media at 2 a.m. on Aug. 2. “We do have a nice system of notifi ca-tion that we can use when there’s a chal-lenge and we have to try and decide when to use it,” said Beazley. “Toledo had to face the problem of false rumors going around.We had some of those same challenges. Our water is great and we feel good about our tests. But inappropriate rumors go around, especially the week that kids start school and we want to make sure that we’re ready
to be in touch with people to let them know that things are going fi ne.” Seferian agreed. “I’m sure most of you have learned several times that there were false rumors about Oregon’s water. The response I give to most of the people is if we do have a problem, we will be very good at getting the message out with the call system, with alert to the media, with all of the above. You can call us and we will know the answer. You can really assume that if we haven’t heard it, it’s a rumor,” said Seferian. Beazley emphasized that the city’s tap water is clean. “I want to underscore that we don’t ever expect to make that call,” said Beazley. “We just want to be ready.” Seferian said he and Beazley consid-ered triggering the city’s alert notifi cation system just to inform residents that the drinking water was safe. “The last rumor was pretty strong,” said Seferian. “But we don’t want to put an alert out when there’s no alert. We don’t want to misuse the system. So we had a lit-tle dilemma. If the rumor got overwhelm-ingly bad, we would certainly use the system. But we want to use the system for alerts. Not to tell the people we’re going to use the alert system to tell you there is no alert.” “It’s a tough call,” said Beazley. “The two of us don’t tend to be that paranoid,” added Seferian. “So we may un-der do some things, but we think that’s the best way to proceed.”
By Deb WallaceSpecial to The Press After two years of negotiations, the Village of Woodville will see the start of construction on a 4½- acre solar fi eld on village-owned land behind the utility building on Lime Road. In July of 2012, Solar Planet, LLC, Columbus, contacted the village about in-stalling a solar fi eld in or near the village. The solar fi eld is a 750 KW system and the panels are made globally with other equipment and material coming from local resources. Village offi cials said one benefi t of
Woodville
Village to start construction for new solar fi eldWoodville having a solar fi eld is that it will diversify the energy portfolio and it will supply about 6 percent of the annual energy requirements of the village. Additionally, Woodmore schools will have access to the solar fi eld and will be able to connect digitally to it to collect data for use in various school projects. It’s been a long process to get the proj-ect off the drawing board, village offi cials said. Village council passed legislation in March of 2013 to allow Keith Kruse, admin-istrator, to work with Solar Planet to devel-op a solar fi eld in the village. In September of that year, Solar Planet submitted chang-
es to the contract and continued to make changes in the contract until December. Solar Planet requested in January 2014 that development be stopped so that they could work out some internal issues and in March the company announced it was un-der new management. Two years after the initial contact, Solar Planet’s new management met with the village and agreed to honor the original contract. Solar Planet has surveyed the site and will be moving forward on construction by the end of September. The project is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

10 THE PRESS SEPTEMBER 1, 2014
By Robert L. Borosage
Labor Day is supposed to be a celebra-tion of workers, but it’s been a long time since workers have been celebrated — or for that matter, have had a reason to cel-ebrate. That’s because the union movement that gave us this holiday is, at least numeri-cally, a shadow of its former self. If we really want to give workers some-thing to cheer about, we need to revitalize unions. It’s no coincidence that prosperity was widely shared when unions were at the height of their power in the decades after World War II, and that inequality has soared as unions have been weakened. That’s what I conclude in Inequality: Rebuilding the Middle Class Requires Reviving Strong Unions, a new Campaign for America’s Future report. My analy-sis tracks the simultaneous decline in the power of the labor movement and the for-tunes of middle-class workers. It makes the case in simple terms. One chart reinforces the point. It com-pares union membership with the share of income going to the top 10 percent since the 1920s. When only one in 10 workers belonged to unions in the early 1930s, the richest 10 percent pocketed nearly half of the nation’s income. Then President Franklin D. Roosevelt began a set of bold New Deal initiatives that dramatically increased the power of work-ers to join unions and bargain collectively. The share of workers who were unionized rose to about one-third by the late 1940s. At that point, the bottom 90 percent saw a sig-nifi cant increase in their share of national
income. Today, as union membership declines to low levels last seen in the 1920s, the share of national income going to the top 10 percent is rising — to levels not seen since then either. Combine that with lackluster econom-ic growth and you get the result chronicled in an August report by Sentier Research. As The New York Times reported, Sentier found that median incomes, when adjusted for infl ation, had fallen 3.1 percent since 2009. They remain signifi cantly below what they were in 2000. A corporate-driven propaganda cam-paign has for decades blamed labor unions for saddling American corporations with burdens that made them uncompetitive in the global economy. That has proven to be cover for disman-tling the forces that kept corporations from rigging the economic rules in their favor. When corporate power was kept in check by union power, workers and corporations
at least had a fi ghting chance to prosper together. Without that check, workers are losing. As wages erode, benefi ts disappear, work conditions become harsher and jobs themselves become more unstable. The good news is that a combination of worker-activist movements and bold political leadership is setting the stage for a potential resurgence of the labor move-ment. In Los Angeles and other cities, new-ly elected pro-labor offi cials are making companies that benefi t from local zoning or contracts pay a living wage and accept unions when a majority of workers indicate they want one. Across the United States, fast-food worker strikes are fueling state and munici-pal minimum-wage increases while inject-ing new energy and ideas to worker orga-nizing efforts. President Barack Obama has used ex-ecutive orders to raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers and require adherence to basic fair labor standards, in-cluding the right to organize. These orders
could have effects that ripple through to private sector workers. Labor Day would live up to its purpose if it not only gave workers a temporary re-spite from the rigors of their jobs, but also drove a national effort to empower work-ers once again to rebalance the economic scales so that we can rebuild a growing, stable middle class. It needs to be a day on, not a day off, in the effort to reclaim the American dream for working people.

Revitalize labor unions to help the middle class
Do you know where you want to go? What do you envision as your destination? Are you staring at the ground or contem-plating down the road into the distance? Perhaps you are constantly looking behind you. Your destination determines your di-rection in life. Without one, you drift and wander. A destination must be of your own choosing. Heading toward someone else’s destination is generally devoid of real en-thusiasm, providing little satisfaction when reached. Therefore, adjusting your destination based on the expectations of others, or in response to criticism, compromises your own desires. Everyone has an opinion to offer concerning where they believe you should go. But it doesn’t matter what other people think about your particular destina-tion. Your choice must be based on your dreams and desires. There are various time frames for des-tinations. Where do you want to go today? This week? This month? This year? Five years from now? Ten years down the road? Knowing where you would like to be in the
future aids you in determining which clos-er destinations you must fi rst attain. You are more likely to trip and fall when you are fi xated at your feet, rather than looking further down your path. How often have you heard, “pay attention to where you are going?” Fear inhibits your ability to pick a des-tination. Fear of failure, fear of ridicule, fear of making a bad decision, and fear of criticism are among the most common fears. Life is not perfect. You are always free to make changes as needed. Make the best choice right now based on the infor-mation you have. Giving into fear prevents you from moving forward. Worry is a colossal waste of time which never accomplishes anything. It’s
easy to conjure up limitless “what if” sce-narios describing every possible way things can go wrong. Worry, like fear, stops you. Action is the way to address the concerns you have. Do something about those issues you have some control over. Formulate contingency plans to deal with situations out of your hands. Doubt, like worry, drains your energy. All types of doubt emanate from your own fears. Doubt also seeps in based on nega-tive comments you receive from others. You may doubt your abilities, your chances of success, your resolve, your experience, or any number of other issues. Give in to doubt and you will never arrive at your des-tination. A burning desire along with un-shakable determination vanquishes doubt. Uncertainty is another negative which wears away your resolve. There is no way to predict the future with certainty unless you give up. Only then can you be assured of failure. The same strategies used to ward off fear, doubt, and worry also work for uncer-tainty; chose the destination you really want and do whatever is necessary to get to it. How about unrealistic destinations?
Isn’t it a waste of time striving for some-thing unrealistic? Trying to ascertain which destinations are realistic is severely limiting. How do you know what is realis-tic? Every dream at some point was labeled unrealistic before it was reached. Those destinations you reject as unrealistic will inevitably be reached by others who don’t impede their progress with such limiting proclamations. Pick your destinations as if anything were possible. In a fantasy world, where would you like to go? What would be your choices if it didn’t matter what any-one else thought? These are your dream destinations that can be transformed into reality with desire, determination, and ac-tion. You can arrive at any destination you choose.

Live! in the House kicks off with bluegrass concert The Pemberville Opera House will come alive with the sounds of bluegrass Sept. 6 as The Rick Prater Band kicks off the seventh season of Live! in the House concerts series. A native son of Knott County, Kentucky, Prater deftly combines the sounds of his home with original musical ideas to form a unique yet traditional sound. After living in Indiana for several years, he returned to Kentucky in 2010. With the move came a reorganization of his band, formerly known as Rick Prater & The Midnight Travelers. Prater’s strong skills on the rhythm guitar, and occasionally on lead guitar, are the perfect complement to his vocal style. Complementing Prater are Larry Martin on banjo and baritone vocals; Brian Scott on mandolin and tenor vocals and John Arms on the bass fi ddle. The band members come together to provide a wholesome, family show, that doesn’t rely on gimmicks – there is no smoke and mirrors or fancy light shows, just traditional bluegrass music, played from the heart, for real people. In addition to his normal bluegrass shows, Prater delivers a Bluegrass Gospel program that has earned him many acco-lades. Tickets to the show, which starts at 7:30 p.m. are $10 and are available at Beeker’s General Store in downtown Pemberville, or by contacting Carol at 419-287-4848 or [email protected]. The series will continue with concerts planned the fi rst Saturday of each month through May. The performance schedule includes: • Oct. 4 – Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Barbara Bailey Hutchin-son. • Nov. 1 – Vaudevillian magician and comedian The Great Kaplan. • Dec. 6 – Holiday music performed by barbershop chorus The Voices of Harmony. • Jan. 3 – Silent Movie Night featuring some laughs with Charlie Chaplain, high-lighted by Lynne Long on the pia-no. • Feb. 7 – Ragtime Rick and The Chefs of Dixieland. • March 7 – Lone Raven providing an eclectic blend of traditional music from the Celtic lands and other areas of the world. Season tickets are available for $75. Call Bailey at the above number or visit www.pembervilleoperahouse.org for more information.
Some like it hot, and some like it very hot and Kevin Mackey is betting that if you’re one of them, you’ll be a fan of Angry Irishman hot sauce. (But don’t worry, if you don’t…he won’t be mad – it’s just the sauce that has the attitude). The story behind Angry Irishman is a love story. It began in 1986 when Mackey and his family relocated to Port Charlotte, Florida after he graduated from Oak Harbor High School. He didn’t want to move, in part be-cause he smitten with classmate Mary Ann Mullin. “We had gone out a couple of times, but I couldn’t tell her how I felt about her,” he said. Living in Florida, he found himself homesick, lovesick and bored. He decided to take advantage of the hot, humid climate and started growing peppers in a little kid-ney-shaped patch of land in his back yard. “We grew peppers when we lived in Ohio, but I thought I’d try planting the hot varieties,” he said. “They literally grew like weeds.” He used his bumper crop of peppers to make hot sauce, and eventually accepted a challenge from a friend to see who could make the sauce with the most heat. When Mackey won the competition, and his interest was piqued. “I went to the library and did some research on ingredi-
Angry Irishman is hot sauce with an attitudeents for making hot sauce,” he said. “Over a period of about seven years of trial and er-ror – including some really disgusting ver-sions – I fi nally came up with this recipe – a habanero and tomato-based hot sauce.” He gave samples of his sauce it to fam-ily and friends to try and after receiving re-quests for more, he began making the prod-uct in his kitchen and selling it on a limited basis. Mackey originally dubbed the sauce, “Jugo del Diablo (juice of the devil). “When I became a Christian, the name didn’t fi t too well so I relied on my family history – I’m mostly Irish and we tend to be a rather ram-bunctious type of folk, so I came up with ‘Angry Irishman.’” Though he was 1,200 miles away, he couldn’t forget about Mary Ann. “In 2009, I followed my heart and reconnected with her,” he said. The next year, he moved back to Northwest Ohio. Busy with work and focusing on a bud-ding relationship, the hot sauce was put on the back burner, until 2012 when Mullin encouraged him to make a batch. “I took it to work for my co-workers to try. Someone asked, ‘What do Irish peo-ple know about hot sauce?’ A lot of them asked, ‘How hot is it?’ “I just told them to try it and tell me what they think,” he said, adding, “I admit, I love watching people’s reaction when they taste it for the fi rst time. It smells like marinara sauce – you get the fl avor for the fi rst fi ve or 10 seconds and then the heat
just drives it home,” he said. “I put it on everything…I’ve put it in the oil when making popcorn…whew….it’ll light you up pretty good,” Mackey said. Rave reviews led the couple to consider producing the sauce for sale. Mullin start-ed doing some research. The couple con-tacted Small Business Development Center through the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce for guidance. On May 28, the couple, with the aid of friends who volunteered their services, cooked up the fi rst batch of Ohio-based Angry Irishman Hot Sauce in the NOCK kitchen. “We put some feelers out to retailers and restaurants, and word must have got-ten out because we started getting some calls from places we hadn’t contacted yet,” Mullin said. With their inventory of 715 bottles sell-ing fast, they scheduled a second produc-tion date for July 11, just a day before they were getting married. Angry Irishman Hot Sauce is available at several area locations including Frobose Meat Locker, in Pemberville; Novelties and Nostalgia in Woodville; Cuttin’ Loose Hair Salon, Tank’s Meats, Tina’s Country Market and Drive Thru, and Bench’s Greenhouse and Nursery in Elmore.

More than 35,000 people were in atten-dance this year. “Despite a few setbacks such as the cooler fi re in one of our refrigerated trucks causing us to lose six 55 gallon drums of sauerkraut, a bunch of eggs and a ton and a half of hand-made potato salad, I would
say this year had the best turnout to date. It was amazing to see all of the volunteers come together and make the festival hap-pen without a hitch. The show must go on, and that it did,” said Tim Pecsenye, Festival Chairman. “We want to say a big thank you to all the extremely dedicated volunteers and friends who poured their time and efforts into making this festival great, and to those who really stepped up and helped us dur-ing the fi re crisis,” Pecsenye said. “Without them, it would not have been possible. We hope that they enjoyed the festivities, and look forward to their sup-port again next year. We also would like to thank the administrators and employees of the City of Oregon, the Oregon School District and employees, and neighbors in the area for their patience throughout the last weekend.” The German-American Festival is the largest supporter of high school level for-eign language education in the Toledo area. The German-American Festival Society presented more than $4,000 in scholar-ships and awards to young German schol-ars in northwest Ohio.

The Elmore Historical Society and ABATE of Ohio Region # 7 are putting the fi nal touches on the 18th annual Grub ‘n Suds Motorcycle Rally, which will be held Saturday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Depot Park in Elmore. ABATE is a non-profi t organization dedicated to preserving the rights, improv-ing the image and promoting the safe oper-ating practices of Ohio motorcyclists. Through the years, the organization has used the event to help draw awareness to motorcycle safety and have been at the forefront of the “Look Twice, Save a Life” campaign. Although many of the elements that have made the past 17 events a rousing suc-cess will continue, this year’s Grub ‘n Suds will be different for many reasons. Last October, shortly after the 2013 event, the Historical Society lost its found-er, Elmore Mayor Lowell Krumnow, to brain cancer. Krumnow started the annual Grub ‘n Suds and this year’s event will be held as a memorial to “The Mayor,” as he was affectionately known to those attend-ing the event. In tribute, ABATE and Diversifi ed Insurance have partnered to sponsor Grub ‘n Suds commemorative glass mugs, which will be etched with memorial and likeness of “The Mayor.” The Historical Society will again be selling their annual Grub ‘n Suds t-shirts. This year’s colorful design will also have a memorial to its founder. As in past years, the ABATE “Headless Motorcycle Run” will start out the day’s festivities. The fi rst 200 registrants will re-ceive a free 2014 edition of the Grub ‘n Suds collector’s mug. Registration for the poker run will begin at 10 a.m. in the ABATE tent at Depot Park. Public judging for the Bike Show will also begin at 10 a.m. Motorcycles 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 4 and 5 p.m. at the stage. Speaking of bands, great music has al-ways been a hallmark of the Grub ‘n Suds event. This year, Razz & Sonzz will get the party started with a rock, country rock and blues concert beginning at noon and going until 4 p.m. As a tribute to past events, the Historical Society has invited special guests Josh Boyd and the VIP Band back
to entertain for three hours beginning at 5 p.m. In addition, the Historical Society is bringing back its popular “All You Can Eat/All Day” wristbands. Food and beverage of-ferings include grilled hamburgers, cheese-burgers and hot dogs as well as shredded chicken and barbecued beef sandwich-es, fresh hand-cut French fries, coleslaw, baked beans, fresh pie, lemonade, pop and iced tea. Everything on the menu can also be purchased à la carte. There will also be
vendors on the grounds selling everything from barbecued ribs, to specialty hot dogs and fun fair food like elephant ears. As al-ways, ice cold beer by the glass or pitcher will be on tap. On display this year will be the new 2015 motorcycle models including Harley, Indian, and Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki. Several vendors will also be at Depot Park selling jewelry, leather products and a wide range of just about any motorcycle accesso-ries. For info call Rick at 419-377-0700.

Friday’s matchup between Northwood and Lake will feature a contrast of styles on offense. Yet, both teams are expected to fin-ish at or near the top of their respective leagues. So, whatever they are doing, run-ning or passing, it works for them. Northwood, as it has done for years, will employ the wishbone offense, a three-back, two-wide system that focuses on running the ball. Coach Ken James has had success with it, and it’s served as a model for how to operate an offense. For years, James has relied on several backs to help form a potent rushing attack and 2014 is no different. The Rangers return two of their top playmakers from last year, QB Mike Vallejo (140 carries, 1,380 yards, 25 touchdowns last year) and running back Dominik Bermejo (over 1,300 yards), two players who will be expected to lead the team’s offense again. Expect to see Chanlor Hayes, Jacob Zieroff, Jonny Wheeler and Joey Woody to see some time in the backfield as well. “So far, they look good,” James said. “Mike is a better passer this year. We hope to take advantage of that. Bermejo has looked quick in scrimmages. He’s faster than he was. Chanlor Hayes is as fast as Dominik. We feel like that speed will help us. “We need to get those guys out in the open. We feel like we need to get the ball into the hands of some our playmakers. The biggest area where we lost people was the O-line. That’s been the biggest concern in the preseason — getting that line rebuilt. I’ve never seen a quarterback that throws well from his back.” Lake, meanwhile, under second-year coach Mark Emans, has one of Northwest Ohio’s best quarterbacks, Jared Rettig, who has verbally committed to the University of Findlay. Last year, Rettig completed 138-of-212 (65.1 percent) passes for 2,347 yards to go with 31 touchdowns and six intercep-tions. His favorite targets, record-setting receivers Adam Duncan (39 receptions, 799 yds., 13 TDs) and Todd Walters (51
League favorites to battle in Lemoyne Road rivalry
rec., 958 yds., 11 TDs) return, plus he has running back Branden Short (118 car., 896 yds., 11 TDs) to accompany him in the backfield. Rettig, had two incredible perfor-mances last season. In Lake’s 49-35 loss to Genoa, he threw for 312 yards and five touchdowns. Against Elmwood, Rettig went 33-of-47 for 602 yards and seven touchdowns. Because the Flyer offense can beat teams on both the ground and through the air, it creates problems for opposing defenses in terms of how they choose to play against Rettig & Co. “When we have balance, it allows us to do a lot of different things,” Emans said. “It puts defensive coordinators in a posi-tion where they have to say, ‘What do we want to stop? The run, the pass? Can they stop both of them in their base defense?’ “It’s a nice advantage to have the dif-ferent options we have. When we had suc-cess in the early 1990s at Wauseon, it was when we were able to (run and pass).” Despite their vastly different offenses,
Lake receiver Adam Duncan, fi nding open space against Northwood last year, is one of quarterback Jared Rettig’s favorite targets. (Press fi le photo by Heather Rettig).

Lemoyne Road RivalryLake Flyers vs. Northwood Rangers
LAKE COMMUNITY STADIUMFriday, September 5 7 p.m.
the two teams do have at least one thing in common: their respect for each other. Emans, who led Wauseon to the Division III state title in 1993, knows what James has built in nearly three decades at Northwood. “Ken has a system and a staff, an offense and a defense that they believe in it and they get their kids to believe in it,” Emans said. “It takes a lot discipline to run that offense. Even when kids graduate, (Ken) still gets his kids to the playoffs (the next season). “The thing that amazes me is that when (Northwood) is hit hard by gradua-tion, he plugs in new bodies and they’re still successful. They don’t have years where they go 8-2 and then 2-8. They’re consistently good. That’s the mark of a good coach.” James credits Emans for the work he’s done in getting the Flyers steered in the right direction. “Mark was a great fit for Lake,” James said. “He brought experience and credibil-ity and won in a tough league (Northwest Ohio Athletic League) at Wauseon. He’s
real professional. He knows how to coach the kids and has a good system. They’ve got the right coaching staff and the right players. With Jared Rettig, Mark Emans knows that he has a good quarterback, and he knows what he’s doing.” Last year’s game was quite different from those of the recent past. The Flyers defeated Northwood, 56-20, in Week 2, breaking the Rangers’ eight-game winning streak in the Lemoyne Road rivalry. Lake would go on to finish 8-2 and 5-2 in the Northern Buckeye Conference, good enough to qualify for the playoffs in the No. 8 slot in Division IV, Region 14. Unfortunately, the Flyers lost, 36-25, to top-seeded Caledonia River Valley on the road. The Rangers, after starting 0-2, reeled off eight straight wins, won another Toledo Area Athletic Conference title and quali-fied for the Division VI playoffs, where they fell, 34-6, to the top-seeded club, Tinora. This year, Lake is expected to compete for the league title and make a run at the playoffs, which oddly enough, is exactly what Northwood is predicted to do this season. Both teams can take a big step towards accumulating valuable computer points by getting a victory in this game.
A Lake-Northwood television broad-cast produced by Toledo Sports Network will air on the Channel 13 ABC-Plus Network (digital channel 13.2) Saturday at 10 p.m. The game will also be available for viewing on Time Warner 996 and WMNT Buckeye 58. Broadcasts are also available for viewing at ToledoSportsNetwork.com.
Woodmore’s boys’ golf team won’t have a bulls-eye on its collective back this fall, but no one is willing to count out sixth-year coach Steve Burner’s young squad.
The Wildcats won three straight con-ference titles before last season, when they fi nished tied for second with Eastwood be-hind Northern Buckeye Conference cham-pion Lake.
Three lettermen return from that Woodmore team, including senior Alex Gedert, a two-time fi rst-team All-NBC per-former and state qualifi er last season. Gedert will be a four-year letterman this year.
“Alex keeps the ball in the fairway, and his iron shots on the greens are fabulous,” Burner said. “That’s what he’s best at, his longer irons onto greens. He’s just got the mentality of a golfer. He thinks things out; he sees things. Down at state, he saw (shot)
They may be young, but don’t count out Wildcat golferswindows that I didn’t even see.”
Gedert shot a two-over 73 at Green Hills in Clyde at the Hohenstein Invitational. This summer he competed for an Ohio team against a team from host Pennsylvania, us-ing a Ryder Cup format.
Burner said he will lean on Gedert for his leadership and to help make up for the graduation of four-year letterman Devin Fisher.
“We’re so young, and Gedert is a heck of a leader,” Burner said. “He’s been work-ing with these kids, and they’re like spong-es on Alex. They’re listening to what he has to say. As the season goes on, they’re going to get better by what he has to say.”
The Wildcats took seventh out of 16 teams in Clyde, shooting a 340 team score.
“We are very young, so I was happy,” Burner said. “We have Alex leading the way, and I have two sophomores and two freshmen on the starting quad. We’re trying to get between 330 to 340.”
Woodmore’s two sophomore start-
ers are Austin Berkel and Zach Schmeltz. Berkel played in most of the Wildcats’ NBC matches last year.
“Those two worked very hard dur-ing the summer,” Burner said. “I see big things out of them this year and the next two years. Hopefully, Alex will show them what it’s like to be a big-time golfer. Zach’s strength is his short game. He’s really good at the wedge and the putter.
“Berkel just has an all-around game, similar to what Alex has. He understands the game in general. He just needs to get stronger. Once he gets stronger, he’ll be right in that same caliber.”
Freshmen Mitchell Miller and Ian Cook have been in the starting lineup early in the season.
“They’re young and willing to learn,” Burner said. “They’re working hard but they’re just going to take their lumps off the bat. Mitchell just kills it off the tee, but he has to learn the short game. Hopefully, he can learn that in-between game. Once he
learns that, that could mean the world for him.
“Ian is very raw as a golfer. Very athlet-ic. He’s getting with these guys and learning the game of golf. Once Ian picks it up, watch out. He’s got good touch. He’s not very long off the tee yet and that gets him in trouble.”
Burner also mentioned freshman Coner Emch as an up-and-comer on the golf course.
“That kid is a killer in wrestling,” Burner said, “and the big thing with Coner is he just picked up a club two years ago. He’s very raw, but very athletic. You can tell just watching him how much he wants it. He wants to be on that varsity team. You’re going to see him playing this year on some varsity matches.”
Burner, who said senior Jake Greenhill is out indefi nitely due to an arm injury, listed Rossford and Lake as the teams to beat in the NBC this season, “with us and Eastwood coming up behind them.”
“But,” he said, “we’re not going to con-cede anything yet.”

Jeff Beck has been coaching volleyball for 14 years, and this is the youngest varsity team he’s ever had.
The sixth-year Eastwood coach has six freshmen on the roster, and three of them are starting.
The Eagles improved to 5-1 and 1-0 in the Northern Buckeye Conference on Tuesday night with a three-game sweep of visiting Genoa. Eastwood’s lone loss is to Arcadia.
“This is the only team I’ve ever had with more than one freshman starter,” Beck said. “To say we are young is putting it mildly. This is a very talented group (of freshmen) and they’re learning how to deal with pressure. Coming from eighth-grade level volleyball to varsity is a drastic jump. They are handling the pressure better and better with every match, and the future looks bright.”
Five letter winners return from last year’s team, which lost to top-seeded Central Catholic in the third round of the Division II district tournament. Three start-ers return in senior setter/right side hit-ter Jaci Juergens, junior libero Mackenzie Albright and junior outside hitter Bri Hoodlebrink.
Juergens is a four-year starter and has been a fi rst-team All-NBC and all-district setter for three consecutive years.
“Jaci is doing a nice job of leading,” Beck said. “She really holds those freshmen under her wing and does a nice job coach-ing them during the match. Now she’s also hitting and it looks like she’s been hitting for three years, even though this is her fi rst
Young Eagles still winning, but learning on the job
year as a hitter. She does a good job of calm-ing the storm. She will do whatever it takes to compete and win.”
Albright was a second-team all-conference selection last season, while Hoodlebrink was named honorable men-

tion.“Mackenzie’s technique has improved
so much this year,” Beck said. “As a coach-ing staff we want the ball to be in her hands. We feel very confi dent with her de-fense and her passing. Bri is getting better
with every match and is starting to develop into a go-to hitter.”
The Eagles’ starting freshmen are out-side hitter Katelyn Meyer, who leads the team in kills, 6-foot middle hitter Hannah Hodulik and setter/hitter Abby Schroeder.
“They’ve played great,” Beck said. “They have come in and they’re confi -dent. They’re not nervous and not scared. Technically, they are working on improv-ing and playing at the varsity level. Nobody can say they should be playing on the jay-vee, especially when Hannah is leading the team in blocks and Katelyn is leading the team in kills. They’re really jelling together as a team, no matter what their ages.”
Eastwood’s other starter is senior mid-dle hitter Morgan Getz.
“She has just improved so much from last year,” Beck said. “She was our third middle last year and didn’t get a ton of playing time. This year she is literally our go-to hitter and has earned her position. As senior, it’s nice to see her hard work has paid off. She had 12 kills against Genoa, with one error, so it’s nice to see her shine right now.”
Despite their youth, Beck said he be-lieves the Eagles can be a player in the NBC title race. Otsego won the championship last year and Eastwood was second, after winning or sharing the previous four con-ference titles.
“At the start of the year I knew we would not be the team picked to win the league, or be in second place,” Beck said. “With every match I gain so much confi -dence in these girls. They are not scared to compete. I just don’t think we can be overlooked. I’m having so much fun coach-ing these girls, watching the younger girls develop and watching the older girls lead.”
Clay’s motive on the volleyball court this season is all about playing faster.
The Eagles, under second-year coach Dave Conley, don’t have anyone taller than 5-foot-10, so they want to use their speed and athleticism to put opponents away.
“We’re trying to play good defense and play a faster offense,” Conley said. “Knowing the teams on our schedule that will be our most diffi cult matches, if we don’t play a little differently, we’re going to get killed at the net. We try to use our athleticism and speed things up.”
Clay was 1-1 heading into Thursday’s home match against Notre Dame Academy. The Eagles lost at Anthony Wayne in three games, including 25-23 in the last two games, and beat Northview in four games.
“Anthony Wayne is a tough team and that’s a tough place to play,” Conley said. “You gotta give them credit. Northview is much improved. Very scrappy and they play good defense. It was a battle. There was nothing easy about it.”
The Eagles return four letter winners in seniors Kallie Seimet, Brooke Gyori and Grace Winckowski, and sophomore Mallory Ladd. All three seniors were start-ers last season, when Clay took third in the TRAC tournament.
“It’s going well so far,” Conley said. “We look to be pretty strong defensively. We’re athletic and trying to use that to our advantage. The chemistry is defi nitely growing and we’re on the right track there. Our leadership is growing.”
Seimet, a 5-7 libero, earned second-team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference and all-district honors as a junior. She has given a verbal agreement to play at Bowling Green State University next season, accord-ing to Conley.
“I would call her a technician,” the coach said. “She plays long for a librero. She’s tall and rangy and very positive. She has a good motor and goes hard all the
Clay spikers relying on their speed, athleticism
time.”Conley said “probably our two best
players” are Gyori and Seimet. Both play with the Premier Volleyball Club, and Gyori teamed with a partner this summer to take eighth place at a national two-man beach volleyball tournament in Milwaukee.
“Her and Kallie have to be on the court,” Conley said. “You could almost fl ip
a coin on their defensive ability, Brooke and Kallie. Brooke is doing some setting for us this year, too. She is very smart and a re-ally good athlete.”
The 5-9 Winckowski, an all-state track hurdler, is the Eagles’ top outside hitter.
“We rely on her to get us kills,” Conley said. “She has real good leadership. She and Brooke are both potential Division I
volleyball players.”Ladd has stepped in this year as the
Eagles’ second middle hitter and has done a good job so far, Conley said.
“She’s maybe our best athlete,” he said. “She’s not too tall (5-5) but she jumps out of the gym. She has like a 24-inch vertical. Last year she lettered as a DS and got more and more time in the rotation as the season went along. This year she’s stepping into a much bigger role.”
Mary Mottmiller, a 5-10 senior, is the Eagles’ fi rst middle hitter.
“She’s really stepping up in games,” Conley said. “She had a really good match against Northview and brings a lot of en-ergy. She’s a good blocker who can put the ball away when we need it. We’re relying on her quite a bit this year.”
Bailey Phillips, a 5-10 sophomore, saw some varsity action last season and will play a big role in Clay’s offense this year as a setter and outside hitter.
“She’s a big part of our team,” Conley said. “We go in and out of a couple (offen-sive) systems, and Bailey has done a good job stepping into that second setter role and has a lot of potential as a hitter and blocker. Her setting, that’s where she projects the best at.”
The rest of the roster includes junior DS Alexa St. Julian, sophomore middle hit-ter Maddie Vargyas and sophomore outside hitter/DS Hannah Kolinski.
“Alexa has a great work ethic and a great motor,” Conley said. “This is her fi rst year on varsity and she’s more of a backup for us, but she adds tremendously to our team chemistry and our work ethic. Maddie is a good athlete and is our second middle hitter. She’s playing well and is a smart hitter.”
Conley said this year’s squad has the potential to be a force in the race for the TRAC championship.
“We expect to be in the mix at the end,” he said. “We’re a little bit younger starting out than last year, and we hope we’re playing our best volleyball at the end of the season.”
