Ottawa River dam to be removed
By MIKE JONES
SPECIAL TO THE BLADE
The nearly 80-year-old dam
on the Ottawa River in Ottawa
Hills should be gone soon, according to Marc Thompson, village administrator.
The Ohio Department of
Transportation is set to award
a contract for dam removal in
the next week or two and work
could begin to eliminate the
dam soon after that, according
to Mr. Thompson. He added that
the timing will be worked out
between whatever contractor
gets the job and ODOT.
The move to open the water
flow for fish was a topic of the
Village Council and a public
Plan would open water flow for fish
meeting more than two years
ago when it was determined that
it would be best if the dam were
removed.
Although it has little effect on
water flow, the dam impedes
the movement of fish along the
stream.
At the time, Hans Gottgens, a
specialist in aquatic geology at
the University of Toledo, showed
villagers a picture of a northern
pike which had been netted on
university property just across
Secor Road. Mr. Gottgens said
there was an abundance of yel-

gamers’ hearts
low perch in the river there too,
but the fish wouldn’t migrate
farther upstream with the dam
in place.
Aquatic life in the waters north
and west of the dam are primarily of the minnow variety.
Officials performed testing on
the riverbed to allay residents’
fears that pollutants might be
released by the dam’s removal.
It was also pointed out that
there had been no problem of
that nature when the dam on the
Ottawa River at Camp Miakonda
was removed.
The possibility of removing
the dam was first brought up
in 2001 when representatives
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service suggested it as a means
of returning the waterway to its
natural flow and to encourage
fish to travel upstream.
There are a few obstructions
to water flow on private property, but the dam is the only
substantial impediment to the
Ottawa River’s flow, according
to officials.
As it is, high water flows over
the top of the dam, and when
Gamers pay attention to small details.

Council members also suggested that removing the dam
might be considered prudent.
They noted at the time that the

Plans for the removal include
taking out concrete and sheet

San Luis Rey Drive is a block of generally smaller,
well-kept homes that were once in a neighborhood
residents called quiet.
Now, they say, it’s a neighborhood under siege by
whizzing autos, trucks, and buses looking primarily
for Brint Road and access to King Road.
Residents have returned to the Sylvania Township
trustees asking for help with the problem that was created when trustees more than two years ago agreed to
make permanent a design that blocked drivers from
using westbound Whispering Oak Drive as an access
to southbound King Road where the streets meet at
an L intersection.
It left drivers with the most convenient choice of
using San Luis Rey or Silica Drive as the north-south
roadway to Brint.
The original decision to change the traffic pattern
was meant to reduce traffic on Whispering Oak after
residents of that and nearby streets began complaining about traffic in the 1980s.
After a test by Lucas County Engineer’s Office, trustees voted to make the change permanent, although
traffic counts had confirmed that both San Luis Rey
and Silica had experienced a large jump in traffic.
At the time the trustees said they took the action
because it solved the problem they were addressing
— traffic on Whispering Oak.
They acknowledged, however, that the move was
creating a new problem and suggested that representatives of the township, city, county, schools, and
residents get together for a more comprehensive approach to the traffic problem.
The board of trustees suggested that approach
should be given a real try this time.
Ray Micham, a San Luis Rey resident, said he appreciated the interest of the trustees and added that if
the issue died away the first time he doesn’t intend to
allow that to happen now.
He said he’d be back to the trustees seeking a solution to the problem.
Lucas County engineers had suggested that rather
than change the King-Whispering Oak intersection
into a one-way area, that the dividing line be established slightly east at Spring Meadows Lane. That,
they said, would allow some of the approximately
1,400 vehicle trips generated by The Meadows hous-
5TH GRADE FOOTBALL
Board, teachers
gain 1-year accord
BY BLADE STAFF
WAUSEON — After nearly
five months of negotiations,
the Wauseon Exempted Village
Board of Education and the
Wauseon Education Association
(WEA) have agreed to a one-year
contract.
The school board on Friday
ratified the agreement with the
125 certified teachers that make
up the bargaining unit.
The teachers’ association took
major health insurance concessions in the health insurance
plan offered through the Northern Buckeye Education Council,
which involves a substantial
increase in deductible and outof-pocket expenses.
The education council is an
insurance consortium, and most
school districts in the four-county area are members.
The plan also includes a provision stating that employed
spouses of WEA members must
take advantage of health-care
coverage available through their
own employers.
Conversion to this plan will
take place Jan. 1, saving the district $245,196 annually.
In return, board members
gave the bargaining-unit members a base pay increase of 3 percent, and said they will provide a
one-time payment to employees
who carry health insurance to
aid in the transition to the new
plan.
An employee carrying a family health insurance plan will
receive $900, while a single-plan
carrier will receive $400.
The agreement is retroactive
to Sept. 1.

By CARL RYAN
BLADE STAFF WRITER
An annual occurrence in
Springfield Township is a sure
indication the holiday season is
approaching: Holland American
Legion Post 646 is collecting
canned foods for families needing help.
Last week, the Legionnaires
visited Holloway Elementary
School and picked up 1,700
cans they’ll distribute before
Christmas. Helping them out
were second-graders from Karen
Bogdan’s class, which collected
hundreds of the items.
Bill Renwand, Holloway’s
principal, said the youngsters
‘
We’re doing this a
little early this year.
We thought we’d get a
head start.
’
Bill Renwand, principal of
Holloway Elementary School
did such a good job they won a
pizza party.
“They collected the cans
mostly from their homes or
from relatives,” Mr. Renwand explained. “We’re doing this a little
early this year. We thought we’d
get a head start.”
Jack Driscoll, commander of
Post 646, said the cans would be
taken to the post in advance of
distribution.
“The schools will give us a
list of families in the Springfield
area that can use the food,” he
explained. “Last year we made
distributions to 68 families.”
Any leftover cans, he said,
would be taken to Dorr Elementary for its Open Pantry food
program.
Also contributing to the collection effort were Linda Dorr’s
kindergarten class and Judy
Humburger’s fifth-graders.
Mrs. Bogdan said she and Regina Szczepanski, her teacher’s
aide, nudged the second-graders
along with visions of pizza.
“We just kept reminding them
there would be a party. We also
sent home letters to parents,
who were very good,” Mrs. Bogdan said.
Indeed, one of her students,
Isaac Roth, 8, is a quadruplet. He
and his three brothers brought
in 40 cans, courtesy of their
mother, the boy said.
All in all, the Holloway students collected 2,300 cans, Mr.
Renwand said.
Those not picked up by the
American Legion were sent to a
food bank.

New inductees into the Ottawa Hills Hall of Fame include
educators, business owners,
and the founder of a prestigious
golf tournament.
The inductees were honored
recently during a gala at the
Inverness Club.
This is the second year for the
Hall of Fame event, and it marks
the Ottawa Hills Foundation’s
new program to recognize and
celebrate life achievements and
civic contributions of village
residents, said Dee Talmage,
Hall of Fame committee chairman. “Our village has been
home to many extraordinary
men and women. In more than
92 years since Ottawa Hills was
first presented to the public,
people of magnificent talent,
tenacity, and vision have not
only made our community exceptional, they have made the
world around them a better
place,” she said.
“And,” she said, “the individuals that we are honoring this
year certainly reflect that image.
We are very proud of our village
and want people to be aware
of the fine accomplishments of
our residents as well as special
friends of Ottawa Hills.”
Numerous outstanding nominations of men and women
who have called Ottawa Hills
home were submitted, said
David Baehren, Ottawa Hills
Foundation president. Nominees included people who have
reached out with vision, knowledge, leadership, courage, and
compassion to shape the world
for the better, he said.

ing development, to reach King
more directly, rather than heading down San Luis Rey or Silica.
The report from the engineer’s office cited the original
plan for The Meadows development, which did not allow any
other way into or out of it but by
using Whispering Oak.
Before the one-way traffic
area was established, San Luis
Rey had 580 vehicles per day on
the street and Silica had 1,922.
After the westbound block
on Whispering Oak at King was
established, traffic on San Luis
Rey jumped to 834 vehicles per
day and traffic on Silica rose to
2,363.
Mr. Micham, who, with his
wife, Sue, have five children
ranging in age from 2 to 11, said
the situation is a safety issue.
Not only has there been a
large increase in traffic, but
some drivers speed down the
curbless street, creating a danger for residents.
Mr. Micham said he has no
problem with those on Whispering Oak who asked that traffic be controlled on their street,
but added that the solution has
resulted in a “pretty blatant
shifting of a problem from one
street to another.”

Talmage said.
But no excuses were necessary, since the Green Bears
posted a 15-1-3 record.
The two reasons Ottawa Hills
was able to retool so quickly
were a switch in offensive philosophy and the team’s overall
speed and quickness.
Talmage said the two were
related.
“Last year we used an offense
that saw us hit long balls, driving
it down the field,” she said. “This
year we had a young team with
good speed and with better stick
skills, so we went to a shorterpassing game, where girls would
run and hit into open spaces.”
The Green Bears took to
the new system quickly. They
opened the season with victories over such perennial field
hockey powers as Ann Arbor
Green Hills, Shaker Heights, and
Columbus School for Girls as
well as a tie against Hathaway
Brown.
“I wouldn’t say I was surprised
by our success, because we had
had open gyms and practices
that had given us an idea of how
we would run our offense,” Talmage said. “But how well we ran
it early was a bit of a surprise.
“And the nice part about this
group was their ability to take
things one game at a time. We
didn’t worry about the next game
until it was the next game.”
The lone senior on the squad
was goalkeeper Julie Collins.
Talmage said the senior did
yeoman’s work both on and off
the field.
“Julie allowed 21 goals this
season, which is terrific,” Talmage said. “But she also was
very vocal, which is especially
important for a goalkeeper. And
she did a great job of leading our
younger players.
“She helped organize workouts, she helped set up times

In front of Collins on the field
was a lineup that included four
juniors and six sophomores.
Two of the top defenders in

Lane Smith.

“Lane Smith has played in

In the midfield the Green
Bears were led by Sarah Haigh,
a junior who was named the
team’s most valuable player.
“Sarah is not flashy, but she’s
both quiet and consistent,” Talmage said. “Sarah was responsible for controlling the flow of
the ball for us on both offense
and defense.”
The offense was led by sophomores Katherine Jamieson and
Candice Healy as well as junior
Serena Dasani. Jamieson led the

Maumee grad setting new pace at Duke
By DONALD EMMONS
BLADE SPORTS WRITER

Bo Waggoner is pacing himself at Duke University this fall.
And the Maumee graduate,
who was a nine-time Northern
Lakes League cross country and
track champion, has no complaints about the kind of pace
he’s on as a freshman running
on the Blue Devils cross country
team.
Waggoner recently earned
All-Atlantic Coast Conference
cross country honors for finishing 14th in the ACC championships to lead the way for a Blue
Devils team that finished sixth
in the team standings.
He ran the 8-kilometer course
in a personal-record time of 24
minutes, 30.4 seconds. Placing
14th, which was tops among
Duke runners, earned him the
last spot designated for All-ACC
recognition.
“Basically, I was looking for
continual improvement and
being able to adjust to the training and racing,” Waggoner said
the goals he set before his first
season of college competition.
“I was hoping to have a good
season but didn’t really know
what would happen.”
Waggoner has more than held
his own in his first year of college
competition. He has been the
Blue Devils’ top runner in three
of the four races he’s run this fall.
But Waggoner, who won the
NLL title an unprecedented four
years in a row, admits he has
plenty of work to do to reach the
level where he’s recognized as
one of the nation’s top distance
runners.
“I’m definitely still trying to
adjust to running with a big
group and in the middle of
the pack and running a longer
distance,” he said. “This is the
next logical step in training for
me. I’m definitely running more
total miles, but it’s just a step up
from what I’ve been doing.
“It’s been an automatic
change for me training with
so many fast guys. There are a
bunch of guys on the team that
can step up and be the leader on
that particular workout.”
Waggoner, who is undecided
about his major, was known for
being committed to his training
and course work in high school.
He graduated from Maumee as
an honor student and one of
the most celebrated athletes in
school history.
Waggoner also has been able
to find a good pace in the classroom this fall.
“It’s so much more focused on
what goals you set for yourself,”
he said. “It’s not been a lot harder but time management makes
a difference, as well as the style
of studying.”
Overall, the Maumee native
has enjoyed his time in Durham, N.C.
The weather has been ideal
for running and he’s enjoyed
being on a well-known campus
that offers a diverse student
body. People from all over the

world attend Duke.
Duke is also known for having
one of college basketball’s top
programs.
Waggoner looks forward to
attending Blue Devils home
games and experiencing the crowd
atmosphere
known as “Cameron Crazies.”
“I don’t know
how many games

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — By
walking an entire marathon on
stilts, a 24-year-old man helped
triple the funds dedicated to the
United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan advocacy organization.
Neil Sauter, a lifelong Blissfield resident who has a mild
form of cerebral palsy, walked
the 26-mile course of the Grand
Rapids (Mich.) Marathon on
Oct. 28 in just over 7 hours and
23 minutes — all while wearing
36-inch drywaller’s stilts.
The cerebral palsy organization received federal matching
funds of three times the donation Mr. Sauter raised, for a total
of $2,400, said Josephine Jabara,
president of the organization’s
Michigan board of directors.
Mr. Sauter, who works as the
recreation coordinator at Adrian’s Hope Center and teaches
psychology at Jackson Community College, said he began
stilt-walking about a year ago at
Blissfield’s annual River Raisin
Festival.
A short time later, he joined a
Bay City, Mich.-based group, the
High Five Guys, who stilt-walk
professionally at festivals and
parades.
An advocate for the disabled,
Mr. Sauter said he was first diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy
when he was in first grade. That
he can walk at all is thanks to
the medical procedures he has
endured through the years, he
said.
“It’s a mild case in that it just
affects my legs,” Mr. Sauter has
said. “I have a funny gait. I tend
to walk on the outside of my feet,
tend to roll them over a bit.
He got the idea to try and
break the “unofficial” stilt-marathon record earlier this year
— the Guinness Book of World
Records doesn’t recognize stilt
marathons as an official category — and began to train.
The money he raised will help
the United Cerebral Palsy of
Michigan’s assistive technology

citizens with disabilities chances

Point Place resident Ryan
Lashaway recently earned the
distinction of becoming the first
sailor from a community college to advance to the national
championships.
Lashaway, a sophomore at
Owens Community College, recently beat out 25 competitors to
win the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association Singlehanded
Regional Championships in St.
Joseph’s, Mich.
The history-making victory
qualified Lashaway for the InterCollegiate Sailing Association
of North America Singlehanded
National Championship at the
University of Washington held
last Friday through Sunday.
“It has never been done before,” he said last week before
the event. “I’m breaking new
water. I’m extremely excited just
to be able to go.”
The championship regatta
took place in Puget Sound.

ganizers said.
“This is the first year we’ve
done something like this here
at the fort,” said Rick Finch
of Waterville, Fort Meigs’ site
manager. “It is really a good fit. It
makes history fun and interesting, and it gets kids interested
in history.”
The organization promotes
historical miniature gaming
and military history through
educational
demonstrations,
seminars, and conventions.
Lashaway represented Owens
and competed against 18 sailors
from prestigious universities
such as Yale, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Navy.
“I hope to get my
name out there and
see where I stand,”
Lashaway
said.
“This has been by
far my best racing
season.”
The national race
was
postponed
because of weak
winds on Friday and Lashaway finished 16th on Saturday.
Lashaway, whose major is science and general concentration,
formed the sailing club at Owens
two years ago.
At the MCSA regional championships, he beat out sailors from
Michigan, Purdue, and Michigan State and other Division I
colleges. The event consisted
of a series of nine races over a
two-day period. Each race lasts
about half an hour, and sailors
get points based on where they
finish. The sailor with the lowest
point total wins the regatta.
“There is a lot of technique,
especially in sailing in big
waves,” Lashaway
said. “That’s what
set me apart at that
event. I have a lot
more experience in
this kind of boat. My
coach [Rick Rothenbuhler] helped me
a lot.”
He started sailing when he was
7 and has competed ever since.
His mother and father, Les and
Debbie, and sister Brittani sail as
well. “Our whole family sails so
that helps,” Lashaway said. “I’ve
been racing by myself in a boat
since I was 7. I just keep hoping
to take it to the next level.”
Lashaway, 20, said he first realized he could compete on the
national level five years ago.
“I sailed in a boat with two
other people and we ended up
being 18th in the country,” he
said. “I learned a lot from that.

20 and I hope to break into the
top 10.”
Next season, Lashaway plans
to compete for the University of
Toledo, which recently formed a
sailing club. “I hope Toledo supports me like the way Owens has.
They’ve been terrific,” he said.
Lashaway said sailing is much
like any of the mainstream
sports. He said there are teams
and leagues from grade school
up through college. Team and
individual events have seasons
in the spring and fall. But only
the top three finishers in the
collegiate regionals advance to
the nationals and Lashaway is
the first from a community college to qualify in the individual,
singlehanded event.
“Technically I’m a sophomore,
so I have two more years to sail
in this event,” Lashaway said.
During the games, rules of
engagement are outlined for
participants, and outcomes vary
depending on how boldly players respond to the luck of the
draw or the roll of the dice.
Battle outcomes often depend on players parked around
the gaming table, said Douglas
Johnson, 55, of West Toledo,
Great Lakes chapter vice chairman. “Battles will pit personality versus personality, one
commander versus another
commander,” he said. “Battles
can get complicated with more
advanced scenarios, but we start
kids on battlefields at the basic
level. Kids learn tactical skills,
math skills. We trick them that
way. Usually, once they play,
their interest is piqued, and they
go home and read about the
battles.”
Mr. Johnson is a veteran member of the Colby Street Irregulars.
The club has been meeting in
the Toledo area every Wednesday night for 25 years to play
games with miniature soldiers,
cowboys, Indians, and other
characters.
Members have become close
friends. Meetings often start with
“Hey, how was your week? Let
me blow you up.” said member
Jim Thomasson, 57, of Maumee.
“You get crushed, you get killed,
and then you go home and come
back the next week and do it all
over again.”
Some members own several
thousand troops, many hand
painted. These people pay close
attention to detail, such as the
color of itsy-bitsy buttons on
uniforms. “It’s boys with their
toys. What can I tell you?” Mr.
Thomasson shrugged.
Lessons are learned too.
“These games teach that life
isn’t fair, that you can’t be a winner every time, that there is a
cost to advance,” Mr. Johnson
said.
On this gaming day, the
Great Lakes chapter members
are pleased to see the “up-anddown heads” along the tables, or
in other words, younger players
seated next to adults.
“We want to see the younger
ones here. We want them to get
interested in the hobby. We want
them to learn that there’s more
to life than a computer or a TV
screen,” Mr. Johnson said.
Youngsters learn how to interact with “a real living, breathing
person across the table,” he said.
“We hook them in. If we can get
kids to push plastic or metal soldiers around, we can get them
interested in history, and that’s

what we want to do.”
Some games can be played
in a couple of hours; some take
days, said Steve Johnson of Holland — Doug’s brother — who is
firmly entrenched in the hobby.
The Johnson brothers, including
Jeffrey who lives near East Lansing, Mich., are known for their
gaming skills as well as their
talents for turning sticks, cereal
boxes, Christmas garland, and
other ordinary objects into extraordinary battlefield scenes.
As the Battle of Piqua ended
nearby, Jeremy Webster, 9, of
West Toledo was unhappy. This
time, the Indians won the fight
with the Kentucky militia.
“The Indians didn’t rewrite
history,” he said. “History is history.”
Who taught him that? Dad Brian Webster, 30, a veteran gamer.
A battle erupts. Youngsters
gather round and watch, then
and say, “I wanna play.”
And for the Great Lakes chapter members, that’s Mission Accomplished.

East communities change trash pickup day
Several east suburban communities are seeing a change
in garbage collection as Waste
Management of Ohio Inc. attempts to remain competitive
while keeping down costs for
customers.
Starting this week, Oregon’s refuse and recycling pick-up dates
will be just one day a week, and
there will be another pick-up
date for Northwood, Walbridge,
and Lake Township customers.
Garbage will be picked up
on Thursdays in Oregon, starting today, and on Mondays in
Northwood, Walbridge, and Lake
Township, said Beth Schmucker,
BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES
Waste Management spokesman.
Under Oregon’s old schedule,
Waste Management’s green garbage trucks were in the city five
days a week picking up waste
from a different area Monday
through Friday.
The new schedule will get five
times as many trucks in and out
of the city in one day, so there
will be a presence just 52 times a
year instead of 260 times.
The new schedule is part of
Waste Management’s safety optimization partnership program
to increase safety and efficiency,
Ms. Schmucker said.
Students’ device helps district
to realize $16,000 in savings
By ERIKA RAY
BLADE STAFF WRITER
When he learned his machine
trades class at Clay High School
in Oregon was going to focus
on creating projector ceiling
mounting systems, Cody Price
saw it like any other assignment.
“At first, I thought it wasn’t too
big of a deal,” the 17-year-old
senior said. “But the more we ...
started working on the projector
mounts, I saw how important it
was for the school.”
If the Oregon City School
District were to purchase the
projector mounts — which are
model-specific — they would
cost nearly $130 apiece, said
Dean Sandwisch, the district’s
director of career technical and
adult education.
Instead of spending thousands of dollars to purchase the
150 mounts that the district of
about 4,000 students wanted,
students in Clay’s machine trade
class were given real-world experience by creating the projector mounts themselves for just
What’s On
t Toledo Camera Club, 7:30
p.m. Nov. 12, Toledo Botanical
Garden, Elmer Drive.
$10 each — the cost of a sheet
of steel.
“Instead of buying them, we
had the kids make them,” Mr.
Sandwisch said.
The district ended up saving
more than $16,000 because they
also asked students at Penta
Career Center to paint a base
coat over the mounts to stave
off rust.
The collaborative effort between the schools began early
in this school year when Nathan
Quigg, Oregon schools’ director
of technology, was voicing his
frustration over the high price
tags on the mounting systems,
meant to hold projectors near
the ceiling of a classroom.
So because Mr. Sandwisch is
always on the lookout for meaningful, “real-world” projects for
students, he asked Tony Spallino, instructor for the school’s
machine trades program, to
produce a prototype of a universal mounting plate that
could accommodate the next
generation of projectors.
After the prototype was tested
by an engineer — and deemed
stronger than the mounts that
the district was thinking of
purchasing — Clay students got
involved in the process.
Mr. Spallino said over the
course of about three weeks, the
students learned to bend the
steel, size the panels to fit into
the ceiling tiles’ framework, and
drill the slots into the sheets.
But painting the units posed a
problem because Clay does not
offer a program for students to
practice painting automobiles,
for example.
So Mr. Sandwisch called
Cheryl Volkmer, supervisor of
the manufacturing and transportation programs at Penta,
to ask whether students in the
automotive collision repair
program would be interested
in painting the panels as part of
their training.
“I looked at it as an opportunity for some community service,” Mrs. Volkmer said when
she heard of the idea.
She said the juniors and seniors who were given the proj-
ect promptly created a custom
paint rack to accommodate
the panels before taking turns
suiting up with respirators and
picking up spray guns.
“They thought it was great
that something they were going to be working on was going
to be put in a school building,”
Mrs. Volkmer said.
Penta students took about
two weeks to paint the units,
and billed the Oregon district
about $600 for the paint and
supplies used during the work.
Mr. Sandwisch said the
panels are set to be installed
in classrooms throughout the
school district.
“There’s not one for every
classroom yet,” he said. “That
leaves us open to the [machine
trades] classes next year starting
to do the same project as part of
their curriculum.”
