Door-to-door scam reported Pastor Ralph Flynn, of Faith Bible Church, in Bellevue, has reported there are people going door-to-door collecting money using both the name of the church and that of Pastor Flynn in doing so. Flynn asks that residents be aware that “these people do not represent nor have any authority from either Faith Bible Church of Bellevue or Pastor Flynn. If these people have been to your door or if they come to your door, the police department would like for you to contact them at 419-483-4444. This is a scam using and abusing the name of Faith Bible Church of Bellevue and that of Pastor Flynn.”

Council mulls Mitsubishi aid

SALLY BOYD Neighbors Editor

Bellevue City Council is considering whether to grant the city’s Mitsubishi Corp. — formerly A. Schulman Inc. — an income tax credit in order for the company to expand the local facility and add an estimated 70 jobs, according to the city’s Industrial Development Committee Chairman John Miller, who convened a committee meeting Monday evening prior to the regular council session. Miller, who distributed copies of a similar tax abatement plan for the City of Kent, Ohio, said, “They (Mitsubishi) want to expand and they want to know what we can do for them,” adding that the matter was brought to council at the request

of Bellevue Development Corp. Director Steve Fuhr. “They have a facility in North Carolina,” Miller added, pointing out, “They could very easily move these jobs there.” The committee, which welcomes all council members to their meetings, agreed to study information provided by Miller and city attorney David Wallingford on the job creation income tax credit program. They will reconvene in an open meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9, prior to that evening’s council meeting. At Monday’s council session, council heard first reading of Ordinance 19-13, which makes temporary appropriations for current expenses and other city expenditures. Although written as an emergency, because

Councilwoman Peggy Missler was not present, the emergency clause — which allows the measure to take effect immediately — could not be utilized. It is anticipated to receive the second and third readings at the Dec. 9 public meeting. The city’s Recreation Department has received a nearly $21,000 Nature Works’ grant for the development of facilities at the former Ridge School property, now owned by the city. Councilman Steve Hill relayed the announcement on behalf of Recreation Director Marc Weisenberger. Hill said the monies will be used for development of youth baseball diamonds and installation of basketball hoops and playground equipment at the site. Safety-Service Director

Jeff Crosby said the city’s compost facility off Goodrich Road will be closed at the end of November. However, the site will reopen for a period after Christmas for the collection of discarded Christmas trees. Trees will be picked up at the curb if placed there by residents, he added. In addition, leaf pickup is continuing, Crosby said. Judy Miller, representing the Committee to Grow Bellevue, urged people to take advantage of “Shop Small Saturday,” a national American Express promotion encouraging people to shop their small independent local businesses on Saturday. She also reminded people of the upcoming Chamber of Commerce Christmas Auction, to be held at the Bierkeller on Monday, Dec. 2. Doors

open at 5:30 p.m. Council heard from two residents, Diane Sengstock and Marc Englund. Sengstock asked about inconsistent water bills while Englund stated his concern over “high tension” lines crossing Kilbourne Street near his home. Following the city’s July 10 tornadoes, the lines, he said, were tied off to a slender tree and never repaired. The lines are drooping over his driveway, Englund said. Finally, kudos were offered Gene and Helen Milkie, who were in the audience, over their son, Duffy, being highlighted in Crain’s business magazine for his work as corporate attorney for Cedar Fair, owner and operator of Cedar Point and numerous other amusement parks around the country.

Lights of Love glow at Bellevue Hospital The Bellevue Hospital Foundation is once again sponsoring the annual Lights of Love at TBH. Donations are now being accepted to purchase a Light of Love in honor or in memory of a loved one. Donors can also purchase a personalized red heart keepsake ornament in honor or memory of a loved one. “The 28th annual event is a time when community members may lovingly remember those special individuals who have touched their hearts,” said Kate Herring, Foundation director. “Cost of each light is $5 while the cost of the keepsake ornament (which includes a Light of Love on the tree) will be $15, and all proceeds will benefit the Foundation’s charitable projects.” The Lights of Love tree will be on display at TBH beginning the first week of December and continuing through the holiday season. The trees will be displayed in the Main Entrance hallway and will feature white lights changing to red lights of love bulbs as purchases are made in honor or memory of a loved one. Lights of Love or keepsake ornament orders can be made at any time through the holiday season. Checks should be made payable to The Bellevue Hospital Foundation. Forms are available at TBH’s Gift Shop, by contacting TBH Administration at 419-4834040, Ext. 4200, or online at www. tbhfoundation.com.

Send payment and information to TBH Foundation, 1400 W. Main St., Bellevue, OH 44811.

Thursday is the new Friday HEATHER RUTZ Civitas Media

LIMA — Is Thanksgiving Thursday the new Black Friday? For years, retailers have been inching earlier and earlier in the day on the traditional kickoff to the holiday shopping season, opening at 6 a.m. Friday, then 5 a.m., then midnight. Last year some major retailers, including Walmart and Toys R Us,

dipped their toes into the actual holiday, pushing Black Friday back to Thursday night. Many consumers embraced the idea, trading their post-Thanksgiving naps and cleaning up the dishes for shopping. This year, Toys R Us and Walmart lead the way, opening at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively. JCPenney, Sears and Kohl’s all open at 8 p.m. Thursday. Kmart and

Meijer are open all day Thanksgiving, with separate sales just for the day. The Friday-turned-toThursday is one of several significant trends happening over the kickoff weekend of shopping season. More than half of consumers will shop for gifts online, and a growing number are using smart phones, tablets, social media and apps

The National Retail Federation has a cautious outlook for the holiday spending season, in part because Washington gridlock affected consumer confidence. The federation’s forecast of the average holiday shopper spending $738 this year is 2 percent less than the $752 they spent last year. The federation’s overall forecast for holiday sales is See NEW | 2 $602.1 billion, a 3.9 percent increase.

find sitters, we’d be out there,” she said while shopping at Meijer with her mother, Judy Wells, of Sidney. “When we shopped, we’d leave early Friday. We were never going to be those people who camp in tents at Best Buy.” Wells is hosting Thanksgiving and expects at least one relative to leave Thursday night for the stores. She said she’d prefer if the stores weren’t open at all. With 15 grandchildren and a great-grandchild, Wells has started shopping already. “I’d like to get each of them something they want, not just buy to buy,” Wells said. Mary Hoffman, of Kalida, was also starting her Christmas shopping at Meijer. She had already made two or three gift shopping trips. In her cart were games, books and art and craft sets. “I start early to manage my budget, but sometimes it just means I end up buying more,” she said, laughing. She shops on Black Friday weekend but typically waits until the afternoon, she said. Retailers are eager to make the experience an event, beyond the deals.

At Kohl’s, for example, the store is again running its “Dream Receipt” contest, picking up the tab for some shoppers. Also customers waiting for doors to open Thursday night can post on social media “fun stories about what’s happening in line at their local Kohl’s store,” company spokeswoman Sydney Hofer said. If they use #KohlsBlackFriday on Twitter and Instagram, they’ll be entered in a gift card contest. The National Retail Federation has a cautious outlook for the holiday spending season, in part because Washington gridlock affected consumer confidence. The federation’s forecast of the average holiday shopper spending $738 this year is 2 percent less

than the $752 they spent last year. The federation’s overall forecast for holiday sales is $602.1 billion, a 3.9 percent increase. “Though the foundation for solid holiday season growth exists, Americans are questioning the stability of our economy, our government and their own finances,” federation President and CEO Matthew Shay said in a statement. “We expect consumers to set a modest budget for gifts and other holiday-related purchases as they wait and see what will become of the U.S. economy in the coming months.”

While many retailers are new to Thursday, Meijer has long been open all day. Meijer will have three separate rounds of doorbusters, at 6 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with separate deals online and the popular Santa Bucks sale on Saturday, said Meijer spokesman Joe Hirschmugl. “We’re giving shoppers options how to personalize their savings,” Hirschmugl said. “They don’t have to set their alarm for 3 a.m. and don’t need to take a number for a hot product. We think how we have our sales structured makes for a happier shopping experience, better quality and selection, and shoppers have some breathing room.” Customers are already Christmas shopping and looking for deep discounts retailers are providing now.

AROUND OLD BELLEVUE

John W. Bingaman credits friends for help with books Continued from last week John W. Bingaman credited his many friends for their help in assembling the material for his book. He was especially grateful to Carl P. Russell for his encouragement. Russell wrote this in the foreword: “John W. Bingaman has performed a valuable service in publishing these memoirs and biographical sketches. During the five decades to which his story pertains, the local press, the journals of the day and an occasional book published some of the events here covered by Mr. Bingaman, but a far greater number found no recorder. The story of the old-time park ranger was hidden in Government files and in secret recesses of the minds of a comparatively few surviving participants. Needless to say, his own personal experiences have enabled him to give to the story the unmistakable work of authenticity.” John’s second book published in 1966 was titled “The Ahwahneechees: A Story of the Yosemite Indians.” John’s third book, published in 1968 titled, “Pathways: A Story of Trails and Men,” moved Horace Marden Albright, former director of National Parks and author of several books to write in the foreword of this book, “This delightful book on trails and trail-riding must surely have wide appeal to our American people who seed opportunities for outdoor recreation in hiking or riding on horses or mules or merely leading a lightly packed little burro into secluded valleys or among crags near or above timberline in the Sierra Nevada, Cascades, Rockies and of the eastern mountains.” Albright wrote this interesting foreword for Shirley Sargent’s book, “Protecting Paradise: Yosemite Rangers, 18981960 (1998),” in which he

Bill Oddo tells of John Bingaman’s contribution. “Who has written more about Yosemite than Shirley Sargent? Her contributions range far and wide: fiction loosely based on her own enchanted childhood in Yosemite; stories of people — Muir, Hutchings, Clark, Solomans, Luckens, the “pioneers in petticoats and famous guests; the history of concessioners; histories of Yosemite locales such as Wamona and Foresta, histories of buildings such as Camp Curry, the High Sierra camps and the Ahwahnee Hotel. The more widely she has written, the more widely she has come to be known and loved. Shirley’s books (more than 20) have introduced many people to Yosemite’s past. Her enthusiasm for her subject is contagious. In this, her latest book, Shirley turns her mind to a new subject, the history of rangers in Yosemite. Her good friend Horace Albright had earlier written a humorous book, “Oh Ranger!” Later, retired ranger John Bingaman wrote “Guardians of the Yosemite, A Story of the First Rangers,” which is part reminiscence, part autobiography and part history. “In the decades since Bingaman’s book was published, its value has grown as a record of activity about which little has been written. The absence of other such books has made clear the need for revision and expansion of what John Bingaman so ably began.” Continued next week Bellevue Historian Bill Oddo writes a weekly column for the Bellevue Gazette.

3 Buzzed driving is drunk driving

NORWALK — Stay safe and drive sober to spread the holiday cheer, states the Huron County Sheriff’s Office. Drunk driving fatalities occur all year round, but data shows that the holiday season, which will officially kick off on Thanksgiving day this month, is a particularly dangerous time on the roadways. In 2011, 760 people lost their lives as a result of drunk-driving-related crashes during the month of December alone. From 2007 to 2011, 14,318 people lost their lives during December. 29 Percent (4,169) died in crashes that involved drivers with blood alcohol concentrations of .08 grams per deciliter or higher.

If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. Your actions may save someone’s life, and inaction could cost a life.

sequel plans Nov. 18. “To date, these individuals have not obtained any of the necessary rights, and we would take all appropriate steps to protect those rights.” The Internet collectively groaned this week when Bob Farnsworth, president of Nashville, Tenn.-based Hummingbird Productions, and Allen J. Schwalb, president of Orlando, Fla.-based Star Partners, unveiled their pitch for “It’s a Wonderful

Life: The Rest of the Story,” a follow-up that would focus on Bailey’s unlikeable grandson. “This can’t be real,” many tweeted. “Maybe George Bailey should have killed himself after all,” wrote one blogger. Soon celebrities were chiming in: “I don’t know if they have a title yet, but if not, I have a suggestion. I would call it ‘It’s a Terrible Idea,’” joked Jimmy Kimmel.

The beginning of an era

Redmen hope new coach leads them to victory Amber Hatten Gazette sports writer

The Redmen basketball team just can’t seem to catch a break. Last season they had to postpone four games because of the football team’s state title run. This season the Redmen got a new head coach, just weeks before tryouts. The position has been filled by former Lady Red assistant head coach Brad Scheiber, who was offered the position after five year head coach Mike Raifsnider stepped down. This hasn’t slowed down coach Scheiber; he has taken the transition is stride, even though he did admit he is somewhat nervous. “I guess everyone is always a little bit nervous starting out at your first head coaching job. But I’ve worked within the Bellevue system, and know most of the kids, in one way or another, so that definitely helps,” he said. “Also having worked with coach Orshoski, who is a great guy and runs a great program, he was like a mentor to me. And after talking to him, we both agreed that this would be a good opportunity for me to get into a head coaching position and tackle that challenge.” Not only do the Redmen have a new coach, they will have to play for the first five games of the season without their leading scorer, Charles Dendinger, who was suspended for violating the Athletic Code of Conduct according to Athletic Director Brian Schubert. Last season Dendinger averaged 10 points per game and was named All-NOL Honorable Mention. There are several other players on the team Scheiber said who have some varsity playing time from last season. “We have six guys who have some varsity experience. Chuck (Dendinger) has the most quarters played from last year and averaged almost 10 points a game,” he said. The six players with varsity experience include senior and cocaptain Josh McNeely, senior Kenyon Missler, junior Dylan DeWitt, senior Ross Gerwin and sophomore Seth Linder. “We’ve got some experience. We definitely

have some athletes, who once they figure out the system and we keep working together, I think we’ll surprise a lot of people,” Scheiber said. “We’ve been working hard and are going to keep at it. The guys are buying into the program and are committed.” Along with that experience the team features two players who have moved up from last year’s JV team in juniors Thomas Pressler and Shane Miller and one newcomer to Redmen basketball, senior Ryan Wilburn. Coach Scheiber admits that even though his team features five seniors, they still have some work to do. “There are still a few things we need to work on. We’ve got some kids who have only been with us a few practices so far, but on the flip side of that, those same kids know how to win games,” he said. “A few of the guys playing for us this season are from our championship foot-

ball team last year, and several state golfers; the work ethic is there.” The competition for playing time gets a little more interesting because Scheiber hinted that some of the JV players could potentially dress for varsity games. “We’ll just have to see who wants to earn it during the week,” he said. That will be a good thing considering the Redmen have a tough NOL schedule along with non-conference games as well. In pre-season voting, done by area media representatives, the

Redmen are ranked third, behind Ontario and Norwalk, who is favored to win the NOL again. Last season the Redmen fell to Norwalk in both their meetings. The first game the Redmen fell, 76-43 and in their second meeting it was more of the same with Norwalk defeating the Redmen, 47-35. Newcomers to the NOL, Ontario are ranked second according to preseason votes, with several key players returning, including Cameron Mack, who was All-Ohio Honorable Mention in basketball last season.

Even with all of these obstacles, coach Scheiber said his team has some lofty goals. “The guys have a certain number of games they want to win, which is more than they did last year. They want to contend for the league title. Everyone is talking about Norwalk again this season and we think we can compete with them. The guys are excited to take on the challenge,” he said. “Norwalk beat them twice last year and after looking at the stats from both games, they were close. So it’s a good rivalry.”

Also on the agenda for Scheiber and the Redmen is to try and make it farther in tournament play. Last season they defeated Port Clinton in the districts, but were edged out by Perkins in the sectional title game, 43-39. The Redmen start out their season this year the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, Nov. 29, with their home opener against Port Clinton. Tip-off for the JV team will be at 6 p.m., with varsity to follow immediately after. The freshmen team opens the tripleheader at 4:45 p.m.

Preparing to surprise

Redmen ready to show off their hard work Amber Hatten Gazette sports writer

Jeff Ray

Grant and Chris are just so gung ho, they want to make a difference,” he said. The Redmen will open their 2013-14 season on Saturday, Nov. 30, when they travel to Findlay for a duals match, which will begin at 9 a.m. Coach Ray is ready for this season to start, so his team can show everyone how hard they have been working. “We were ready for practice time, when it came around and now we’re ready for the season so we can show everyone how hard we’ve been working in the wrestling room to get ready.”

The BHS wrestling team includes Jameson Kilgore, Collin Adkins, Kennedy Black, Justin Drennen, Xavier Prochnow, Alex Elswick, Alex Drummond, Austin Weider, Jake Weider, Ethan Hundley, Gabe Smythe, Alex Stiles, Dylan Emerick, Chris Harris, Brad Rine, Grant Moyer, Tyler Griggs and Jared Hoy. The Redmen are coached by head coach Jeff Ray and assistant coaches Dawson Riedy, Brian Weider and Brett Adkins. Not pictured are Brandon Veliz and A.J. Perry and Logan Vannest.

three juniors, Chris Harris, Alex Elswick and Grant Moyer, two of whom made it to districts last year. Elswick will wrestle at 145, the same as last year. Last season Harris had a 31-19 record, and Moyer had a 33-10 record. Both wrestlers fell in consolation rounds at the district level last season. Missing out on qualifying for regionals has made them very focused this pre-season coach Ray said. “They are looking good; you can tell that from the experience they have last year. I think they were both a match away from state. That’s hard to live with for an entire year. So you kind of focus in because they realize they only have two more chances to get it done,” he said.

Moyer will wrestle at 285, moving up from the 220 class he wrestled in last season. Harris will wrestle in the 138 weight class, also moving up from the 126 class he wrestled in last year. Both Harris and Moyer will be captains for the Redmen this season along with seniors Jake Weider and Alex Drummond. J. Weider will wrestle at 145 and Drummond will move up from 113 to 120. The Redmen’s third senior is Tyler Griggs, who will wrestle at 132. Coach Ray said the reason he chose Harris, Moyer, Weider and Drummond to lead the team is because of what each of them brings to the table. “Alex is one of my seniors, and he has really taken a leadership role

Hundley, 138, Dylan Emerick, 152 and Brad Rine, 220. The eight sophomores will fill eight different weight classes for the Redmen, a variety they were lacking last year. Kennedy Black, the team’s only girl, will wrestle at 106. Returning letterwinner Collin Adkins moves up from 120 weight class where he wrestled as a freshman to 132. Another returning letterwinner, A.J. Perry will wrestle at 152, Gabe Smythe, 160, Austin Weider, 170, Brandon Veliz and Logan Vannest, 182, and Jared Hoy, 195. With all of these young wrestlers, coach Ray knows people aren’t expecting much, but he’s ready to change their minds. “I don’t think people are expecting much out of us at all, because we’ve had a few bad years the last few years, and we haven’t had a state placer since, I believe 2008, when one of my assistant coaches, Dawson Reidy, went to state,” he said. “We’re going to go into every match expecting to win, no matter who we are going against. We’ll compete, compete, compete; the kids will be prepared when they go out there. I think we are going to surprise people, because of how young we are and how teams have done in the past.” The Redmen have

The Bellevue Redmen wrestling program will compete in every weight class in their matches and tournaments in the 2013-14 season and first year head coach Jeff Ray is confident that his team will surprise people. The wrestling team this season features 21 wrestlers, 14 underclassmen, three juniors and four seniors. As a first year high school head coach, Ray said he wasn’t nervous because he has been around the sport for many years. “There isn’t anything to be nervous about, as long as the guys keep working as hard as they are right now,” he said. “We are a young group, but the kids are in there busting their butts and I’ve also got good coaches helping me.” Even though this is Coach Ray’s first season at the high school level, Ray has coached Biddy wrestling for many years in Bellevue and has been quite successful. Ray is hoping that success translates to the high school level, adding that certain aspects of coaching the high school wrestlers is easier than his Biddy wrestlers. “It’s a little easier, because the older kids understand better what I’m trying to teach them and I don’t have to explain as much,” he said. “The high school kids are here for a reason; they want to get better, this is their time to be serious, so in that aspect they are easier to coach than the younger kids.” The Redmen are once again a young team this season with 14 underclassmen, which appears to be a hindrance, but according to coach Ray is a great advantage for his team. “We have a lot of sophomores who had varsity experience as freshmen, which is good because one of the things we are pushing is that coming in as a sophomore you expect to make it to state; that’s your goal,” coach Ray said. The expectations are just as high for the seven upperclassmen on the team as well, “Juniors and seniors better be placing at state.” Coach Ray also talked about how the six freshmen on the team need to realize they have to set their goals high, “Freshmen year most people see as a throwaway season, but if you set a goal of making it to districts, then next year your eyes are on qualifying for regionals and state. So if you come in as a freshmen with those high goals and that mind set of giving it everything you have you’re really going to make an impact.” The six freshmen on the team are Justin Drennen, who will wrestle at 113, Jameson Kilgore, 120, Xavier Prochnow, 126, Ethan
