Grace Dudziak says there’s no reason she can’t be the star player on the Dukes varsity football team.

The Dukes' new secret weapon JASON HAWK EDITOR

"I think girls are going to take over."

Wellington Dukes kicker Grace Dudziak is stunned there aren't more girls on high school football rosters in the new Lorain County League and beyond.

And why shouldn't there be? In her debut this fall, the Wellington High School senior is proving gen-

der is no barrier on the gridiron.

When the Dukes hosted Western Reserve in week one, they lost 4234 — but not because of Dudziak.

She went four-for-four on field goal attempts, putting up 12 points.

True, she's not looming and buff.

At 5-foot-7 and 150 pounds, she'd look out of place on the line, but no more so than someone with a quarterback’s physique.

Coach Rob Howells seems pleased with his new recruit and said Dudziak isn't "just" a kicker.

He's listed her on the roster as also playing corner back and wide receiver.

"She's a good player and has shown good effort," he told us while preparing to take on Mapleton. "She's good for our team."

Dudziak said her first allegiance is to the Dukes soccer program but she is always looking for a new challenge. This fall, she's trying to give equal time to both.

OUT OF CONTROL

Walmart scales back ammo, gun sales due to mass shootings JASON HAWK EDITOR

Some major retailers have decided to scale back ammunition sales and tighten gun restrictions in the midst of the United States' mass violence epidemic.

Walmart announced last week that it will discontinue the sales of certain ammunition — specifically, the kind that can be used in assault rifles.

And while it won't ban

weapons, the company will request that customers no longer openly carry firearms inside its stores.

At the same time, Walmart is calling on Congress for stiffer background check laws and a ban on assault rifles.

The move comes a month after 21-year-old Patrick Crusius walked into a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, and allegedly opened fire, killing 22 people and injuring 24 others.

Crusius, a white su-

premacist who published a manifesto railing against immigrants and racial integration, has been charged with capital murder.

The El Paso tragedy came just a few days after two Walmart associates were killed at a Mississippi store, and hours before 10 lives were stolen in a mass shooting at a bar in Dayton, Ohio.

"We’ve been giving a lot of thought to our sale of firearms and ammunition," Walmart CEO Doug

McMillon said in a memo to employees on Sept. 4.

"We’ve previously made decisions to stop selling handguns or militarystyle rifles such as the AR-15, to raise the age limit to purchase a firearm or ammunition to 21, to require a 'green light' on a background check while federal law only requires the absence of a 'red light,' to videotape the point of sale for firearms and to WALMART PAGE A2

OBITUARIES

FROM A1

Eleanor Wixom Helper

John Fabris

Eleanor Wixom Helper died Saturday, Aug. 24, 2019, peacefully and among beloved family, after several months of declining health. She lived a full and varied life, valuing scientific inquiry, social justice, and family. She once wrote, "I have lived my life with the belief that what I do in this life is what counts."

Born in 1927 in Philadelphia to a Quaker family, she was a member of Coulter Street Meeting throughout her childhood.

She studied at Germantown Friends School, Bryn Mawr College (BS, biology), the University of Rochester (MA, microbiology) and the University of Illinois (microbiology).

She met and married Malcom Helper in graduate school, embarking on nearly 30 years of family life in Champaign, Omaha, and later Columbus. She was an excellent and very patient mom to their three kids. The family spent summers on epic road trips to visit relatives, Worlds' Fairs, and national parks. Then, in part because Malcolm fell ill, she returned to paid work in 1973 as a researcher in science and marketing at Battelle Memorial Institute for two decades; she was the first woman in a non-clerical role in her department.

Already a feminist, she became an even stronger one when helping her oldest daughter protest the lack of gym time for the high school girls basketball team. Malcolm died when they were in their early 50s, just as their youngest kid left for college; she dove deeply into her work. After retirement, she served as chair of the board of First Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbus, then shepherded the building of a major addition to the church. In 2003, she left Columbus for Kendal, a retirement community in Oberlin, where she once again built a new life.

Over the course of her life, she volunteered with the Girl Scouts, the Unitarian Universalists, the American Cancer Society, civic associations, peace organizations, and PTAs. She was a member of the League of Women Voters for more than 50 years and participated in a weekly peace vigil in Oberlin for 15 years. She was an activist for gun control, reproductive justice, women's equality, peace, and civil rights. She was a vibrant presence at Kendal, serving on numerous committees, welcoming newcomers, photographing everyone for the directory, and forging cherished friendships. In the larger community, she enthusiastically participated in and helped organize events at the Oberlin City Club, Firelands Association for the Visual Arts in Oberlin, and regional camera clubs, among other organizations. A lifelong lover of the outdoors, she was an avid camper as a young adult, hiked throughout her life, and was known for her beautiful flower gardens. She became an expert photographer in retirement, documenting her adventures in far-flung lands, celebrating student events and achievements at Oberlin high school, and winning awards for her art. She also enthusiastically and cheerfully educated herself about investing, Photoshop, email, audiobooks, Robert's rules of order, world travel, genealogy, racial justice, and other subjects. She was always lovingly interested in the activities of her children and grandchildren but refused to take credit for any of their achievements, even though she did much to lay the groundwork for them by financially supporting much of their education, and by living her values of curiosity, patience, fairness, and honesty.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Malcolm (1928-1981) and brother, Robert (1924-2009).

She is survived by her children, Susan (Randy Schutt), Thomas (Laura Thielen) and Laura (Patrick Helper); grandchildren, Emma Thielen Helper and Natalie Thielen Helper; and brother, William D. Wixom.

A memorial service will be held at Kendal at Oberlin on Sunday, Oct. 13 at 2 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to the American Civil Liberties Union, American Friends Service Committee, or Firelands Association for the Visual Arts in Oberlin.

John Fabris, 98, died peacefully at Rosewood Residence on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2019, in Tupelo, Miss. John was born June 22, 1921, in Cleveland. He graduated from West Tech High School, Cleveland in 1941.

Upon his 21st birthday, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and soon moved to the Marine Corps, where he served as a pilot in World War II and the Korean Conflict. After 21 years of service, he retired at the rank of major. John then became a sales manager in the railroad industry, retiring from Norfolk Southern as a regional sales manager.

John married Grace, his neighbor and high school sweetheart, in 1944. Over their 70-year marriage, Grace and John lived in 15 cities within 10 states. Many of their retirement years were spent in Eustis, Fla., hosting visits from family and friends. In 2006, they moved to Tupelo, Miss., and truly enjoyed being in the South. He loved being called "Mr. John," by southern neighbors and friends.

John was a dedicated husband, father, and proud grandfather who loved to travel, garden, putter around in the garage, square dance, and golf. At 90, he was still playing golf and shooting his age. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and friend and will always be remembered for his sense of humor and ability to connect with people.

John is survived by his two children, Karen Grace Fabris of Beachwood and Jane Anne Aggers of Tupelo, Miss.; four grandchildren, Brian Marks (Heather) of Raleigh, N.C., Betsy Marks Smith (Brian) of Paris, France, Meredith O'Brien of Willoughby, and Katie Gottlieb (Seth) of Moreland Hills, Ohio; and six great-grandchildren, Savannah Sada Marks, Patrick Kane O'Brien Jr., Harper Leia Gottlieb, Charlotte Josephine Hannah Smith, Riley Grace Gottlieb, and Sophie Beatrice Olivia Smith.

John was preceded in death by his wife, Grace Campbell (Smith); his parents, John and Anna (Persolja) Fabris; and brother, Ludy Fabris.

A private memorial is planned.

Martha Pelton

Martha Mae Pelton (nee Smith), 102, of Amherst, left this earth Aug. 31, 2019. As Martha requested, there will be no public services. Arrangements were entrusted to Hempel Funeral Home, Amherst.

Allegra Whipple Allegra Whipple (nee Rowe), 91, of Grafton, passed away Saturday, Aug. 31, 2019, following a full and joy filled life of serving her Lord. Services were held Friday, Sept. 6 at First Baptist Church of LaGrange.

Christopher Rosenau Christopher Ryan Rosenau, 27, of Amherst, passed away Thursday, Aug. 22, 2019. A reception of family and friends will be held Friday, Sept. 13 from 4 p.m. until the time of the memorial service at 7 p.m. at the Hempel Funeral Home, 373 Cleveland Ave., Amherst.

only allow certain trained associates to sell firearms."

The memo continued to announce the discontinuation of .223-caliber and 5.56-caliber ammo used in some hunting rifles but also in large-capacity clips in militarystyle weapons.

Walmart will also sell off the last of its handgun ammo and end handgun sales in Alaska, the last place the company was allowing them to be sold.

"We know these decisions will inconvenience some of our customers, and we hope they will understand," wrote McMillon. "As a company, we experienced two horrific events in one week, and we will never be the same. Our remaining assortment will be even more focused on the needs of hunting and sport shooting enthusiasts."

Walmart will still sell long-barrel deer rifles and shotguns, he said, as well as hunting ammunition and sporting accessories.

The end result: The company's share of the ammunition market is expected to drop from around 20 percent to nine percent or lower.

Following Walmart's lead, Kroger and Meijer have also asked customers to stop open-carrying in their stores. Starbucks, Target, and Wendy's have all done the same in recent years and Dick's Sporting Goods said in March that it would stop selling all firearms and ammunition at 125 of its 700-plus locations.

We went to Facebook to ask how the public feels about the decisions Walmart and other corporations are making.

Your responses mirrored the deep national divide over gun control and availability: • Sally Ann Glenn: "Great! I wish they would not sell guns either. People’s lives are more important than the Second Amendment!" • Rita Garcia: "Something has to change. This is a start." • Linda George Henderson: "It's not going to help, criminals don't care. When will people realize that? The killer in Texas was a felon and not supposed to have guns, so this is the problem." • Jeanne Lambdin: "Criminals will still find a way to get a gun!" • Jan Johnson: "It recognizes the issue. I appreciate the gesture but would liked a stronger response." • Scott Bentley: "It wont help. The majority of America doesn't go to Walmart to buy ammo. It's just a statement." • Lee Tucker: "I think that changing America's gunobsessed culture has to start somewhere, probably in multiple ways, and so I commend these two corporations for the steps that they are taking." • Judy Wacker Ferry: "If a person has evil in his heart, he will find a way to act on that evil. Alcohol was banned in 1919. That did not stop it from being illegally made and sold. It also single-handedly prompted the beginning of the mafia and underground distribution of alcohol by some very, very bad people. We need to learn from our mistakes!"

DUDZIAK

FROM A1

Her football career started during track season when she decided on a lark to attempt some kicks through the uprights at the Dickson Street Stadium.

The first attempt sailed wide left and the second went far right — both had the right distance and height, though. Intent on making one, she sent the third kick straight down the center.

As Dudziak tells it, that when track coach Matt Kimmich ran onto the field with pride written on his face. He also coaches the Dukes' special teams in the fall.

"He said, 'You're going to kick for our football team,'" she said.

Dudziak recalls not having to think twice. The answer was a hard yes.

"My parents always told me I could do whatever I want," she told us. "I think it's just kind of the competitive side, too. I want to prove everyone wrong."

Dudziak lifted with the boys all summer and said she felt embraced by most of them. It was clear, though, that some were waiting for her first game to see how she performed under

the lights.

Junior Dylan Lawson said at first it was strange having a girl in the locker room but the rough-and-tumble Dukes quickly adopted her.

"I think she's fitting in really good. Obviously it's not the same as if she was a boy," he said, grinning. "It's not weird, if that makes sense. It feels natural."

Wellington players have started bragging about Dudziak to opponents after she puts in a field goal, he said.

LETTERS A way to help farmers To the editor: Thank you for running the article “Farmers in crisis” (Sept. 5), which points to the incredibly stressful conditions that Lorain County farmers are facing.

While farmers are being hard hit from many angles, the impact of climate change is one that we can do something about by decreasing the amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere. A bipartisan solution is to assess a fee at the point at which carbon is extracted or imported that would be paid into a fund. This money would then be distributed, not to the government, but to American families. Such a carbon fee and dividend wouldn’t be an added cost to households, and would create incentives that will allow our economic system to find the best solutions.

Please help our farmers by asking your representatives in Congress to support the Energy Innovation and Carbon Fee and Dividend Act. Marta Laskowski

You can support real science To the editor: We enjoyed Jason Hawk’s most recent column “What’s all this about a ‘polar coaster’?” He rightly characterizes the 2020 Farmer’s Almanac’s claims about the coming winter as “poppycock,” full of vague assertions that will likely prove true because they fit the typical forecast for Ohio. He also advises us to look at the Weather Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for “real science” that will tell us what’s actually likely to happen.

Reputable science will indeed tell us what’s happening with our climate as well as what the future holds. There’s overwhelming evidence — both from our country’s scientific agencies and from scientists around the world — that our earth is rapidly warming. Real science tells us it’s due to greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels, plus methane and nitrous oxide, which come from various sources.

Real science also gives us accurate predictions about what will happen in the future. If we don’t take effective action to address climate change, we face rising oceans as land ice sheets melt; increasingly extreme weather in terms of hurricanes, excessive rainfall, and drought that threaten food supplies; threats to national security as populations are destabilized; significant damage to our economies worldwide; and acidified oceans that threaten

Backto School: A History of

School Lunches

As Kid Scoop readers return to school, they start to wonder, what’s for lunch? And what will I use to carry my lunch?

When people started eating lunch at work or school, lunches were packed into pails, baskets and tins.

What do you use when you pack a lunch?

Colonial Kids (1607 to 1776)

In America’s colonial times, the midday meal was called dinner. It was the biggest meal of the day. Most families ate this meal together at home, even if the children attended school.

Supper was the evening meal, and it was typically smaller and made up of leftovers.

Did children in colonial times eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?

Great Depression (1929 to 1939) The Great Depression was a time of great hardship.

Parents were without jobs, and their children went without good food. At the same time, farmers had produce that people couldn’t afford to buy. The government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt bought up the extra food and opened kitchens which started the school lunch program.

In 1946, another president signed the first National School Lunch Act to provide lunch in all schools.

Design a LunchBox

In 1950, Aladdin Industries created the first children’s lunch box based on a TV show. Hopalong Cassidy.

Over the years, more and more TV, film and cartoon characters showed up on lunch boxes. For decades, choosing a new lunch box was a treasured back-to-school ritual for kids.

Milan Ave. bridge, paving work planned JASON HAWK EDITOR

The Milan Avenue bridge a stone's throw from Amherst city hall could get a $690,900 overhaul next year if state officials agree to cover a big chunk of the cost.

Lorain County commissioners voted last week to apply for $510,000 in Ohio Public Works Commission funding for the project. If approved, it would be made available next July.

The county-owned bridge — a glorified culvert — is located next to Amherst's historic spring.

"We're not worried it's going to fall down. It's so massive there that we elected to do what we call a rehab of the bridge," said county assistant engineer Bob Klimer.

"So we'll go ahead and fix some of the stones where they've come apart."

There is some significant erosion to deal with on the north side of the bridge, he said.

"If you go out there and crawl underneath there, the existing drainage system above it is leaking and it's leaking down through the blocks," he said. "So we're going to put in new drainage. We'll end up removing all the asphalt and pavement above it and re-waterproofing it."

Replacing the bridge would run into the millions of dollars, according to Klimer.

Working with a consultant, the county engineer's office determined a rehabilitation effort can put another MILAN AVENUE PAGE B2

NYT editor remembers her roots JOHN BENSON THE CHRONICLE-TELEGRAM

New York Times Senior Staff Editor Arlene Schneider keeps a family photo on her desk to remember not only her Lorain County past but also the remarkable journey that took her from Amherst to the Big Apple.

“It’s a picture of my father, his older brother and his younger sister who are standing outside of their farmhouse on Abbe Road,” Photo by Earl Wilson said Schneider, 62, a 1974 Arlene Schneider was Lorain Catholic High raised in Amherst and School graduate. “It’s prob- today is a senior staff ably taken in the 1940s. editor at The New That picture, which looks York Times. like a still of ‘The Grapes of Wrath,’ reminds me every day where I came from.

“I don’t have an Ivy League degree or a trust fund. I think it puts me in touch with people who are kind of the salt of the earth, to use a cliche that I would take out of a story. I think it makes you relate to people and to understand that the world isn’t only New York City.”

To understand Schneider is to know she was headed for a career in academia before life, fate and chance changed one dream for another which better suited her talents, skill set, and passion.

From her earliest memories, being a school teacher made sense because not only did she love school — she was very good in English — but her mother, who grew up during the Great Depression, told her that was one career that was recession-proof.

The Harlem Wizards' Swoop Unit — Kasper, Miles High, Road Runner, Sarge, Sky Walker, Swoop, and D-Nice — are coming to Amherst in October.

The Wizards want a rematch JASON HAWK EDITOR

It'll be the biggest, funniest, and high-flyingest show of the season when the Harlem Wizards come to town.

The team has agreed to a rematch against the Powerful Comets, the hometown heroes who got creamed on the court last year by the Wizards' acrobatic stunts.

There were so many people upset they didn't get to see the game last year — they waited too long to get tickets and it sold out — that the Wizards had to come back, said Darcie Parsons of the Powers Elementary PTO. "We're excited to have them back this year... There were a lot of people who felt they missed out and wished they could have come," she said.

"We thought, here's another chance, another opportunity for them."

For those who filled the bleach-

ers last year, a whole new experience awaits. The team has two new members and an entirely new show for 2019.

The big basketball game will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19 at Steele High School. Doors open at 5 p.m.

Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. Courtside plus tickets are $30. To get yours, call Darcie Parsons at 440-667-5202 or visit www. harlemwizards.com.

The event is a fundraiser for the PTO. Funds will be used to buy rubber tiles instead of mulch for the playground at the new Powers Elementary on South Lake Street.

At the old Powers on Washington Avenue, mulch has been stolen under cover of night. When it rains, mulch spreads and splashes into the grass, which means it has to replaced more often, said Parsons.

Mats are the far better option, she

Council chambers get $25K update JASON HAWK EDITOR

The room where some of Amherst's most important decisions are made is barely recognizable after a nearly $25,000 remodel.

"This really looks like it's a place worthy of running your government," said mayor Mark Costilow, showing us around the renovated space at city hall where council, planning commission, and zoning board of appeals members meet.

Gone is the old wood paneling, replaced with new oak. There's new carpet. And plaster along the west wall was scrubbed away to reveal the original 1884 brick.

25 years into the existing structure.

The road will have to close during the project, which is expected to last about 120 days.

Mayor Mark Costilow said residents should expect even more work along Milan and Cleveland avenues in the next couple of years.

Because of traffic volume there, the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency has signaled willingness to put money into preventative paving, he said, likely in 2021.

The two roads are being eyed for new surfacing from Rt. 58 west to the city limits. Crews could skip the portion of Milan that was paved this summer in front of Amherst Junior High.

"I think this will be one of those projects where you catch it before you have to do full-depth repairs. It will probably be grinding and mill-and-fill," said Costilow.

Amherst stands to have 80 percent of the paving cost covered by federal dollars, he said. The price tag is expected to fall in the $600,000 range, which means the city would have to pick up about $120,000.

Sewer, water line, and catch basin work could be added to the project at the city's sole expense if needed, said Costilow.

SCHNEIDER

FROM B1 Even though education appeared to be her future track, Schneider’s youth includes a few hints of the career in journalism that awaited.

“I did, by the way, start a backyard newspaper in elementary school at some point with my South Lake Street neighbor kids,” Schneider said. “Also, I was one of the editors of my elementary school (St. Joseph Catholic School in Amherst) newspaper. I think it was called ‘Tell It Like It Is.’ “Then in high school I wrote for the newspaper, but it was never a real focus. I never thought I was going to study journalism. I think I wrote a few stories. I was never the editor. There was never a driving force behind it.”

As the first member of her family to go to college, Schneider did well, graduating in 1978 from Bluffton College (now named Bluffton University) with aspirations of becoming a professor.

That led her to graduate school at Long Island’s Stony Brook University, where she left in 1983 only a dissertation shy of graduation.

“I just never wrote it,” Schneider said. “I wasn’t that interested. I moved back to Ohio and lived with my parents, which was tough after being away. I was teaching at Lorain County Community College and supposedly working on my dissertation.

“That’s when I answered an ad for a stringer at the Lorain Journal. It really changed my life.”

There was something about being in a newsroom that excited Schneider.

“Newsrooms are full of people who wrote their college papers the night before,” Schneider said. “We’re people who work on deadlines and in many cases not until deadline. In a newsroom, it’s full of people unfit for regular employment.

“They’re just fun, interesting, fascinating, exciting places to be. I was hooked the moment I walked into a newsroom. I felt at home there in a way that I had never felt at home in academics or in other things I had done.”

While Schneider’s career — after a decade at the Asbury Park Press in New Jersey — would eventually take her to one of the most recognized newspapers in the world, the senior staff editor later realized in some ways she followed a path set by her mother, Betty.

The family jokingly called her a “correspondent” because she would often read daily The Lorain Journal, The Chronicle-Telegram and Plain Dealer.

“My mother was this really interesting news junky,” Schneider said. “She knew everything about the town.”

It’s not a leap to suggest when Schneider is writing or editing a story somewhere in her mind she’s following her mother’s interest and instincts getting to the truth.

She learned a lot in Lorain County about the difference a newspaper can make in a resident's life. “You learned the importance of the trust that people put into the newspaper.”

She said her heart breaks regarding the "tragic demise" of local news.

“The one thing about papers like the Journal and Chronicle, not only were we doing stories that really mattered to readers, but for somebody like me, who had no journalism background, those papers could teach you if you had the aptitude, learned quickly enough and liked it,” Schneider said.

“I look back at my career as a lot of hard work with some lucky breaks that people saw in me at various points. I’m very fortunate. The great part of that is somebody like me with lousy journalistic credentials could prove my worth. Now, I’m at The New York Times.”

The Amherst 1Chargers 2U travel tournament team finished the 2019 season with a 34-3 record. The Chargers played in seven tournaments and won the May Mayhem in Streetsboro, Memorial Classic in North Ridgeville, and the Explosive Firework Frenzy in North Ridgeville. They also finished as runners-up in the Wizard Farley Memorial Tournament in Maumee and the Stadium Series in Akron.

Steele alumnus fills Lorain council seat STAFF REPORT

Evan Shawver, a 2008 graduate of Amherst Steele High School, is now a Lorain city councilman a little bit earlier than expected.

The Lorain Democratic Central Committee unanimously appointed him Saturday to serve the remainder of Joe Faga's unexpired term. Faga resigned Aug. 22, saying he needed to be there for his family following the death of his mother.

After serving his ward the past six years, Faga wasn't seeking reelection. Shawver won party's nomination for the seat in

"He's been active in the community," Lorain party chairman Paul Adams said. "He talked about a lot of the things that are going on right here in downtown Lorain and he clearly wants to be involved with that and so I'm glad he's been able to step up now and is going to get a little bit of a head start in making that stuff happen."

Shawver, who holds a degree from the Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University, said he's looking forward to being involved in the city's 2020 budget process.

FROM B1 said.

PTO volunteers hope to pass last year's fundraising total of $10,000.

They have 900 seats to sell for the game, plus they get a cut of the Wizards' merchandise sales.

Parsons said she's putting together a roster of local celebrities, including teachers, to take on the b-ball greats.

The game is great entertainment for families, "not just your kids but grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends — everybody can come and have just a fun night out," she said.

The best part of the 2018 game?

Smiles.

"The kids' faces during the game were priceless to watch, how excited they were, how close to the action they got," said Parsons.

The Wizards got their start in 1962 when New York sports promoter Howie Davis had an idea: Forget the rules of the game and focus on fun.

Davis was director of recreation at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton in the 1940s when he was asked to find a basketball team for the World Championship in Chicago. He put together the Dayton Dive Bombers, who defeated the mighty

Harlem Globetrotters.

He went on to form the New York Stars, ultimately leading to the launch of the Wizards.

Last year, the team helped schools and other nonprofits all over the country raise more than $3 million.

Today, the Wizards roster has some serious hoops pedigree. Their three traveling units include stars like Eric “Broadway” Jones and Dwayne “Swoop” Simpson, both former Globetrotters, as well as three-on-three star Devon "Livewire" Curry" and the ultra-fast James "The Roadrunner" Tyndal.

"What I like is that they're actually talking to council now," Costilow said. "When people are here, they're here to talk to council."

Amherst building inspector Dave Macartney designed the space and solicited bids from contractors. Costilow and a few city workers rolled up their sleeves to help.

The work took five weeks while council was recessed for the summer.

Special meetings called during that time to handle the sale of the city's electrical transmission lines were held at the Main Street Community Center while renovations were under-

way.

The facelift isn't 100 percent complete.

Costilow said he's still waiting on microphones to be installed, as well as a seven-foot presentation screen and projector.

He also plans to enlarge historical and festival photos to display in the council chambers. The mayor wants those images to change often and even envisions a community contest for new photos.

"This building deserves to look like this and the people who come here to work deserve a good place to make their decisions," he said.

COMETS BRIEFS

Page B3

COMETS ARE REALLY COOKIN'

Football • Nothing could stop the Weatherspoons on Friday as Amherst shot down the Firelands Falcons 41-0 in nonconference action.

Sophomore running back Torre Weatherspoon rushed for 126 yards and three towndowns, while his brother, junior Ty Weatherspoon, scored his first varsity TD on a 27-yard rocket from Comets quarterback Tyler Brezina.

Brezina also fed a 20-yarder to Casey Hamrick and a 10-yarder to Kyle Ferguson, both crossing the goal line.

The QB completed a little more than half his passes but ended the night with 176 yards in the air. That's more than the entire Firelands offense put together on the night. Ferguson and Hamrick each notched 56 yards receiving.

Volleyball • Ellie Shenk came up with 25 digs but the Comets couldn't keep up with Avon Lake, losing 302 in five sets.

Avon Lake won the first set 25-21 before Amherst took a 25-15 victory. Back-and-forth action continued with a 25-17 win and a 25-16 loss for the Shoregals before the Comets fell 15-10 in the final set.

Laken Voss had 15 kills and Morgan Smith and Nia Hall each chipped in nine. Lauren Pisegna served up four aces and 13 blocks. Hailee McHugh took 28 serve receives.

Boys Soccer • Ethan London scored both goals in Amherst's 2-1 win over Olmsted Falls, taking both assists from Carter Hancock.

Keeper Camden Gross had nine saves on the day.

The Bulldogs' lone goal came from Alex Gibson on a penalty kick.

• Carter Hancock, Ethan London, and Dylan Simulcik scored in the Comets' 3-0 victory over Willoughby South.

Keeper Camden Gross earned his first career shutout in goal, turning away four shots. But the story of the day was the Comets defense, led by Anthony LaRosa, Caleb McGee, Jacksen Halfhill, Danny Vitelli, and Lucas Snowden.

Girls Soccer • Amherst fought back from an early deficit to take the lead early in the second half against Olmsted Falls, only to have hopes dashed by two late free kick goals that gave the Bulldogs a 4-3 victory.

Sydney Schaeffer scored an early equalizer from 20 yards out and Hannah Aschemeier clobbered one in off a corner kick to get the Comets going after the halftime break. Schaeffer fed the ball to Elley Vorhees, who scored the green and gold's final goal.

• No luck for Elyria. The Amherst girls blasted away at the Pioneers goal all night, walking away with an 11-0 victory.

Olivia Lopez was first to put points on the scoreboard for the Comets. Leah Drost and Nora Wright scored, Lexy Alston put in two, and Regan Veard and Abby Balicki mopped up for a 7-0 lead at the half.

Lopez opened the second with another goal and Alanna Woodworth notched her first two varsity goals. Veard added the closer.

Jill Card and Jaidyn McKee shared duties in the net to earn the shutout.

Boys Cross Country • Tripped up at the start of the D1A varsity race at Tiffin, senior Matthew Kirsch worked his way up to 123rd place with a time of 17:41.2 to place first for the Comets.

Senior Ethan Barnes was right behind him in 126th place with a career best time of 17:43.6. Junior Cael Walker lost his shoe at the finish but still managed to place 129th with an all-time best finish of 17:45.2. Jacob Raesler followed with another lifetime best of 17:56.0 and a 143rd place finish. Gabe DelValle rounded out the top five with a time of 18:18.2 and 180th place.

The open boys were led by Junior Owen Davis, who placed 85th out of 661 runners. His time of 19:16 was also a career best time. Nick Glahn was next with another best time of 19:26.4 and 108th place. Ryan Szczepanik also had a best time of 19:39.7 and 142nd place. Seyveon Plaza was next for the Comets with another best time of 19:48.6 and 159th place. Dillon Jones rounded out the top five with in 191st place at 20:07.7, which is not only a career best time but a more than 40 second improvement from the last race.

The Steele boys will compete next at the Boardman Spartan Invitational on Saturday.

Junior High Cross Country • Amherst Junior High runners competed Saturday in the Tiffin Cross Country Carnival.

In the varsity boys race of 296 runners, Ty Perez finished second and Luke Bowlsby finished sixth. Devin Ramirez, Henry Isaacs, and Joseph Miller also scored for the Comets. Landon Crosby had the biggest improvement for the boys, dropping 30 seconds from his previous best.

The boys placed fifth out of 44 teams.

Kamille Coleman, Katherine Low, Sophia Pecora, Shantel Cooper, and Genevieve Hermann scored for the girls, earning an 18th place finish out of 42 teams. Audrey Frankart had the biggest improvement on the team, running more than a minute faster than her previous best.

The Comets will race again today at the Avon "Race to Remember."

Joe Colon | Amherst News-Times

Delaney Kitchen looks to deliver a kill shot against Berea-Midpark on Sept. 5. She had a great night with 11 kills as the Comets ran roughshod over Berea-Midpark for a 3-0 victory.

Putting green into going green ■ City officials want your ideas for fighting climate change with $2.8M fund JASON HAWK EDITOR

How should roughly $2.8 million be used to fight climate change in Oberlin?

That's the big question facing city officials and they're asking for your help in deciding.

Back in 2011, they set a goal of reducing local greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent within four years, 75 percent by 2030, and completely by 2050.

A community meeting was held last night after press time at Mount Zion Baptist Church on Locust Street to gather ideas for attacking the climate problem.

Oberlin officials can't do what needs done by themselves, said city sustainability coordinator Linda Arbogast.

"We need all hands on deck," she said. "It's community members. It's community groups. It's nonprofits. It's businesses. What ideas do you have to help us become a carbon-neutral community by 2050?"

New pastor breaking boundaries at Peace RINI JEFFERS THE CHRONICLE-TELEGRAM

When Erica Saunders was growing up in Asheboro, N.C., in a Christian home, maybe it wasn’t such a stretch of the imagination to find her life’s trajectory was pointing her to seminary.

Saunders entered Wake Forest University School of Divinity and graduated in May with a master’s degree.

It was there that she discovered two things that changed the path of that trajectory: She increasingly felt the call to pastoral ministry, and she was transgender.

At 25, Saunders is one of the first openly trans women to be ordained in the Baptist church, and her new job — as the pastor of Peace Community Church in Oberlin — is the first time a Baptist church has called a trans MINISTER PAGE C2

Larry Cariglio is proud of his pizza and the recognition it's earned — most recently, Best Sauce and Best Specialty Pizza at the 2019 Akron Pizza Fest on Sept. 1.

His winning entry was a Lorenzo's chicken pesto pizza with roasted pine nuts. Cariglio was also named runnerup for Best Overall Pizza.

But awards aren't what get him out of bed every morning.

"If I can make a happy customer, I don't care how many of those I win," he said. "I've got to make them

happy."

Since 1982, Cariglio has operated an Oberlin staple, Lorenzo's Pizzeria on South Main Street. In all those years, he's never deviated from his original recipe. "Never any reason to," he said.

The recipe is "old-school, the way it was done 50 years ago," he said.

Listening to him speak about ingredients and oven temperatures — and sharing a slice of a chicken pesto pie with him in the Lorenzo's dining room — it's clear pizza is still Cariglio's passion. He's 66 and pizza has been his obsession since he was a small boy playing in his uncle's pizzeria.

After graduating from Kent State University, Cariglio went to work for Standard Brands, selling Planter's Peanuts, then worked for Mars Inc., selling candy. As he moved around his territory hawking M&M's, he would make a point of stopping for lunch at every pizza joint he could find.

"I'm a pizza aficionado. I love pizza, and always have," he said.

"When I go to New York, that's all I do. I eat pizza three meals a day, try every pizzeria around."

While his favorite style is margherita, these days his interest has been in LORENZO’S PAGE C2

28-acre retail space in the wind JASON HAWK EDITOR

A large retail, office, and restaurant space could come to Oberlin's south side if city council is willing to rezone nearly 28 acres.

Carnegie Management of Westlake is seeking to develop a 120,325-squarefoot commercial center on the northeast corner of Rt. 58 and US 20, wrapping around the Marathon gas station and Advance Auto Parts.

Robert Hanmer has owned the vacant land since 2011, according to county records. It has a market value of $89,710.

Oberlin planning director Carrie Handy said Hanmer plans to sell the property to Carnegie Management if officials pave the way for development.

Carnegie vice president George Papandreas told the planning commission on Wednesday that he has two anchors lined up if rezoning is approved — one of 30,000 square feet and another of 22,000 square feet.

Handy said a 10,000-square-foot medical office is also in the mix.

Once the land is rezoned, Carnegie can go into "true planning mode," said Papandreas. Leases with

Senior project manager Rick Pichola of Westlake-based Carnegie Management presents concept plans for a new 120,325-square-foot shopping and office center. tenants can be secured and a traffic study required by the Ohio Department of Transportation can move forward.

The target opening date would fall somewhere in 2020, he said.

Planning commission members would still have to approve a site plan, but most signaled they are excited about Carnegie's intentions.

"In general, what we have is a conceptual plan that is not tied in stone. We are using it to start discus-

sions" with the planning commission, said senior project manager Rick Pichola.

Planning commission member Tony Mealy said he sees the need for only minor adjustments to the rough overhead and elevation drawings unveiled Wednesday.

There is a major hurdle to overcome first. Carnegie asked for C-2 zoning and the commission recommended council designate the property as C-3 because of its location along the

two busy highways.

That's fine, Carnegie reps said, with one caveat.

Oberlin's C-3 code includes a conditional use restriction on any building or group of buildings attached in any manner that total more than 50,000 square feet.

That restriction could prove to be a deal-killer, Carnegie reps said, asking for an exception to be made.

The planning commission seems inclined to go one CARNEGIE PAGE C2

how its Sustainable Reserve Fund cash can be used.

The money comes from the sale of Renewable Energy Credits or "green tags."

The cash can go toward incentives that encourage renewable power generation, energy conservation, waste management, education, construction of highperformance buildings, local food and agriculture, and water conservation.

Arbogast said she thinks transportation is a big part of the picture.

"It touches everyone's life in one way or another. It's also the second-biggest piece of the emissions pie for the city of Oberlin," she said.

She said ideas so far have included expanding public bus service, giving rebates on electric vehicles and charging stations, and establishing an electric car share program.

The Oberlin board of education has publicly expressed interest in tapping the Sustainable Reserve Fund to help make its new PK-5 school on Pleasant Street more energy efficient.

Data shows natural gas use and gasoline vehicles are the two big areas that must be addressed, said Arbogast.

Oberlin has about 80 to 85 percent renewable energy sources supplying its electrical grid. That means switching residents and businesses from gas to electric heat would decrease the city's carbon footprint.

There are also new technologies that make electric heat pumps more viable, she said.

The effort is "about us as a community figuring out together what programs we can initiate to support everyone," said Arbogast.

Ideas that would cost in excess of $50,000 must go before city council. City manager Rob Hillard said officials will have full discretion over how funds are granted.

So is it realistic to think that by 2050 we can completely eliminate fossil fuel dependency in Oberlin?

Yes, Arbogast believes.

"If you read a lot about climate change, I think you'll start to see that it isn't really 'Can we do it?' It's how we're going to do it, because we have to do it," she said.

"If we care about our kids and we all want to leave the planet for them and future generations like we've had, it's not optional."

Upcoming generations are resilient, smart, and know they have to solve the climate problem. "We just need to get out of the way and give them support," Arbogast said.

step further. Mealy, Vice Chair Eric Gaines, Chair Matt Adelman, and Handy all signaled that the 50,000-square-foot restriction shouldn't be part of the C-3 zoning at all — they seemed mystified that it's on the books.

Their recommendation to city council is to strip it not just for the proposed Carnegie development but for all future projects.

Mealy said nearby Wal-Mart, at roughly 160,000 square feet, exists in a C-3 zone without the conditional use restriction, so it makes sense to extend the same courtesy to Carnegie.

Planning commission member Peter Crowley said he is excited about the development and hopes Carnegie Management will work with the city to make the property sustainable. Papandreas said that will be a goal, as it has been for his company's other developments.

Leaving Your Job? What Happens to Your 401(k)?

If you’re in the early stages of your working life – or even in the not-soearly ones – the chances are pretty good that you will change jobs at some point. When that happens, you’ll probably leave a few things behind – but will one of them be your 401(k)?

Of course, you wouldn’t really forget about your 401(k). (It does happen, however – over the period from 2004 through 2013, more than 25 million people left at least one 401(k) or similar plan behind when they left their job, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.) But you will have to do something with your account.

Essentially, you have four choices: • You can cash out your 401(k). It’s your money, but if you take it out before you reach 59½, you will owe federal income taxes, plus any applicable state and local taxes. Also, you will likely be charged a 10% penalty for early withdrawal. Perhaps even more important, if you liquidate your 401(k) when you change jobs, you’ll be reducing the amount you’ll have left for retirement.

• You can leave your 401(k) with your old employer. If your former employer permits it, you can leave your 401(k) intact, even after you move to a different job. This might be appealing to you if you like the investment choices in your account, but you won’t be able to make any new contributions. Plus, you won’t face any immediate tax consequences.

• You can move the money to your new employer’s 401(k). You can consolidate your old 401(k) with one offered by your new employer, if allowed. You won’t take a tax hit, and you might like your new plan’s investment options. And you may find it Michael E. Verda AAMS Financial Adviser 12289 Leavitt Rd. Suite E. Oberlin, OH 44074 Bus.: 440-774-4625 Fax: 866-486-8146

easier to manage your funds if they’re all held in one place.

• You can roll your 401(k) into an IRA. You don’t need the permission from any employer – old or new – to move your old 401(k) to an IRA. Your money will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis, and an IRA offers you a virtually unlimited array of investment options – stocks, bonds, mutual funds and so on. You can make either a direct or indirect rollover. With a direct rollover, the administrator of your old 401(k) sends your money directly to the financial provider that holds your rollover IRA. No tax is withheld because you never actually take possession of the money. With an indirect rollover, you’re technically withdrawing the money and moving it to the IRA provider yourself. (You’ve got 60 days to make this transfer.)

You will face a withholding of 20% of your account’s assets, but you may be able to recover most of this amount when you file your tax return. Still, for the sake of ease of movement and avoidance of all tax issues, a direct rollover may be more advantageous.

Which of these options is right for you? There’s no one “right” answer for everyone. You’ll have to consider several factors, and you’ll certainly want to consult your tax professional before making any decision. But in any case, do whatever you can to preserve – and hopefully grow – your 401(k) assets. You’ll need these resources to help fund the retirement lifestyle you want and deserve.

Quick thinking saves teacher's life JASON HAWK EDITOR

When a colleague collapsed, Emily Jindra's firefighter training kicked in.

Along with a handful of Langston Middle School staffers, the Oberlin guidance counselor stepped in to help save the life of sixth grade language arts teacher Eileen Hickerson, who collapsed last Tuesday in a third floor hallway.

"I felt really fortunate to be in a position where I had some experience to fall back on," said Jindra, who previously worked as a medic for the Oberlin fire department.

That morning, Hickerson had been spotted in the hallway, not looking well.

Jindra said a little later she

heard a call for 911 and booked it upstairs, where Hickerson was unresponsive on the floor.

She described feeling adrenaline kick in, pushing her emotions to the side so she could focus on the task at hand.

It didn't quite feel robotic but "it was kind of like going down a checklist. We were trying certain things and the situation wasn't improving, so we found ourselves in the point of the checklist where we had to go with more intense measures," Jindra said.

She started CPR and eventually a teacher grabbed an AED to get Hickerson's heart back in rhythm.

There are three of those handheld units — automated external defibrillators — in each Oberlin

school building, said superintendent David Hall.

The emergency marked the first time AEDs were used at Langston.

Hickerson stopped breathing at one point, he said, and paramedics said that had Jindra not started CPR, she "wouldn't be where she is now."

Hickerson was still unconscious when she was taken to the hospital but it was apparent "she was still in the game and still fighting for it," said Jindra.

She was rushed to Mercy Health Allen Hospital and revived. Hall said the episode was caused by a known heart condition.

Jindra said that once the rescue team arrived, her calmness started to fade.

"Once that adrenaline wears off you realize, 'Oh my gosh, that was really terrifying and emotional,'

and I'm so glad we were able to work so well to get through it," she said.

As of Monday, Hickerson was still recovering at the hospital, doing much better, and expecting to be discharged, according to Jindra. Hopefully her colleague will get a break to build up her strength before she returns to the classroom, she said.

Jindra said everyone at the school feels an odd bond after surviving the crisis. "The building really came together and you can still feel it... It was just amazing how everybody worked together as a team in that situation and everybody kept a calm head before emergency response arrived," she said.

"I would say definitely it further gelled us as a team, as folks who care about each other."

FROM C1 woodfire pizza, which has a much different tradition.

Consider neapolitan pizza, which is made with very strict guidelines.

The oven temperature must be around 900 degrees, only finelyground flour with no additives is acceptable, San Marzano tomatoes are a must, and the only options for cheese are fior di latte or mozzarella di Bufala.

Making a neapolitan pizza is more of a science while woodfire is more of an art. "Everybody interprets

it just a little bit different, so everybody's tastes a little different," Cariglio said.

The proof?

His son, Michael, has taken over day-to-day business at Lorenzo's and the father-son duo swears you'd never tell their neapolitan pizzas apart in a double-blind test. But you'd easily be able to tell the difference between their woodfire creations.

After graduating from culinary school, Michael worked as a chef for eight years in New York City. He

returned to Oberlin four years ago.

The elder Cariglio said it's not been hard giving up control of his kitchen at Lorenzo's, even after more than three decades.

"I'm not as young as I used to be," he said. "You have to allow a young person to come in and have some responsibility. Everybody does things differently. You can't just sit there and look over their shoulder. It's not right, they don't learn, and there's no sense of accomplishment for them when you do that."

MINISTER

FROM C1 woman to lead a congregation, she said.

When Saunders saw the posting for an opening in Oberlin, she checked out the church online.

“I saw a statement of their beliefs right on the front page: 'In this place we believe Jesus loves everyone; love is love; black lives matter; science is real;' and all of these things. I thought, ‘Huh, this is a community I need to know more about,’” she said. “I came up for a trial sermon and I really fell in love with the people and the really close community that they’ve formed there. I was really intrigued by the unique character of Oberlin.”

The small congregation of about 40 weekly worshipers was looking for a new pastor after its previous pastors, Steve and Marie Hammond, retired.

The Hammonds had led the

church since 1979.

The historic church was founded in 1866 as First Baptist Church and became Peace Community Church in 2000. It is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA, the Alliance of Baptists, the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists and the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America/Bautistas por la Paz. It voted in 2005 to be “open and affirming” to the LGBTQ community.

Saunders’ realization of her gender identity came slowly. Her first day of transition, she said, was her first day of seminary.

She said she knew when she was “quite small” how she saw herself, but was surrounded by messages that that identity was sinful. Many of her family relationships have changed, she said, since her coming out.

Most of her seminary training was spent on finding scriptural justification for the so-called “clobber verses,” a handful of Scripture readings that are often cited as proof of the Bible’s “anti-homosexual” stance.

“It was a long and complicated journey for me to realize that this is who I am, and to be able to accept it and come out to friends and family. Throughout graduate school, I did a lot of work trying to address those 'clobber verses' and trying to come up with a theological justification, as it were. I think that is very important work. But what I keep coming back to is the passage in Galatians chapter 5 (regarding fruits of the spirit) that says wherever God’s spirit is, you can also find love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithful, gentleness and self-control; against such things there is no law,” she said.

“I had hoped to become an academic, but I felt the call to pastoral ministry,” she said. “I think the church, and the witness it provides, is vitally important at a time when our country’s politics and our culture is the most divided that it’s been, in my lifetime.”

“It is an aspect of my being that I see as core to my ministry. Part of what I hope to do here at church is to work with LGBTQ folks perhaps at the college but also in the wider Lorain County community to show them that God loves them because of who they are and not in spite of it.

To help them make sense of their journey in spiritual terms,” she said.

She spends a good portion of her week, between presiding over Sunday services and writing her sermons, visiting with her congregants and making alliances with other community agencies and churches.

She has “office hours” weekly at various coffee shops in town, inviting church members to drop by and talk and striking up conversations with strangers, bringing the church to them.

Saunders refers to Ephesians 3, which talks of God’s intention to use the church to display the wisdom of God “in rich variety” to the rulers and authorities of the heavenly realms, according to His purposes.

“We’re all committed to working toward God’s peace and forming a close and Christ-like community with each other and with Oberlin, being the church in the world and following Christ’s example,” Saunders said. “I think that all of humanity is created in God’s image. And that part of our calling as Christians, as the church, is to discern what it is that God is calling us to and through that calling, embody God’s wisdom for the world.”

Saunders started as pastor July 1. A formal installation service will be held Oct. 8.

Guillermo Arriaga of the Museum of Hispanic and Latino Cultures in Lorain shows images of the Lady of Guadalupe, on exhibit now at the Oberlin Heritage Center.

Arriaga brings Holy Mother exhibit to OHC

JASON HAWK EDITOR

When Guillermo Arriaga was a little boy, his mother always kept a candle lit for the Virgin of Guadalupe.

A picture of the mother of Christ was placed in the corner and the light almost never went out, he remembers.

"In all my life living there, only one time it was not lit because she couldn't get to the store to buy a candle," he said.

"That's the way my mother raised us. You have to have the faith."

That much-loved part of his life is now on display through Sept. 21 at the Oberlin Heritage Center's Monroe House on South Professor Street. Images of Our Lady of Guadalupe can be found there on blankets, glassware, books, and paintings provided by the Museum of Hispanic and Latino Cultures in Lorain.

"Her image is so widespread," said OHC director Liz Schultz. "People who may not be Catholic or Latino may not be as familiar with the story or the history or religion religion behind it, yet they probably still recognize her prevalence in society."

The Virgin of Guadalupe, widely embraced in

Catholicism as an apparition of the Virgin Mary, is a huge part of Hispanic heritage, especially in Mexican culture.

Arriaga is the curator of the Museum of Hispanic and Latino Cultures and told the story of how Mary-as-Guadalupe appeared in the West.

It begins on Dec. 9, 1531, not too long after the demise of Montezuma and slaughter of the Aztecs by Spanish conquistadors under Hernan Cortes.

That day, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to a Mexican peasant named Juan Diego.

She asked for a church to be built in her honor on Tepeyac Hill, the site of an old Aztec temple.

Diego approached the bishop of Mexico City with the news but his account was not believed.

As the story goes, Mary appeared twice again that day and told him not to give up.

To placate the bishop, she agreed to provide a sign to prove her identity and sent Diego to gather flowers from the hillside.

Expecting it to be cold and barren during the winter, he instead found Castilian roses, which are not native to Mexico.

Mary placed the roses in Diego's cloak and when he opened it to show the bishop, the fabric held her

image.

The mother of Christ, who wanted to be known as the Virgin of Guadalupe, appeared with dark skin. "Mary appeared in the world in the form that the people would accept her in that country. It's the same mother of God," said Arriaga.

Her appearance "made peace because of the symbolism that is around her," he said. "If you look at her image, her image is overshadowing the sun. And what was one of the gods, one of the main gods of the Aztecs and several native tribes there? It was the sun."

The images of the Lady at the Heritage Center are all similar with no cartoonish variations, which Arriaga said would be disrespectful.

"They would not be accepted by people who have the faith in Guadalupe," he said. "You do not take Guadalupe, a spiritual image to people, to millions of people all over the world, and decide you're going to make your own form of her."

Today about 20 million visitors flock each year to the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, where her image is enshrined.

The basilica is the most visited Catholic pilgrimage site in the world.

PHOENIX VOLLEYBALL The Phoenix collected their first win of the season in a grueling five-set comeback victory over south county rival Wellington, topping the Dukes 3-2.

After winning the first set 25-18, they took losses of 22-25 and 17-25 before coming back 25-16 to tie it. The deciding set went to Oberlin, 17-15.

Following the victory, Oberlin

dropped matches to Firelands, Lakewood, and Open Door to stand at 1-8 overall and 1-3 in Lorain County League play.

The team hosts Brookside at 6:30 p.m. tonight and Wickliffe at 6:30 p.m. on Monday before heading back on the road to face Clearview on at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Council buys 25 acres for just a dollar

THESE KIDS ARE FULL OF PEP

JASON HAWK EDITOR

An unused 25 acres once meant for a new K-12 school is changing hands.

Village council members are spending the princely sum of $1 to buy back the property located north of Wellington High School, which they had gifted to the school system 15 years ago.

At the time, the board of education was struggling with increasing maintenance costs at the old McCormick Middle School on South Main Street. The solution, the board said, was to consolidate the district's students on one campus.

The wooded area spanning from Meadow Lane north to Peck-Wadsworth Road was tabbed as the right spot.

The idea obviously fell through. Voters overwhelmingly rejected it, leading eventually to the construction of the new McCormick.

That was that. Officials more or less forgot about the vacant acreage — at least until a couple of weeks ago.

That's when they remembered there was a provision BUY BACK PAGE D2 Photos by Jason Hawk | Wellington Enterprise

Attendance numbers are in for the Lorain County Fair — and while no records were set, Fair Board President Ron Pickworth said good weather helped make for a well-attended end of fair week.

The total attendance for the fair was 117,403. Fair Secretary Charisse Nikel said the fair board only counts paid attendance, meaning anyone who gets in for free isn’t counted.

Children eight and younger got in for free every day of the fair. Senior citizens, veterans and military personnel with IDs get in for free on Thursday.

Four parking spots could be set aside for compact cars only in downtown Wellington.

Looking into an issue raised by village councilman Mark Bughman, officials found that large vehicles — pickup trucks — parked in certain places make it hard to see oncoming traffic.

The chief offender, said village manager Steve Dupee, is a spot

located in front of Allstate Insurance on North Main Street.

It's not the fault of the business or the owner. It's simply a line-ofsight issue created by the path of the roadway.

If you're turning off Depot Street and headed through the railway underpass there, it's difficult to see around the corner, said Dupee.

A large truck parked in front of Allstate can obstruct the view even more.

The result is a situation where a motorcycle or compact car-only spot

could make it easier to see oncoming traffic, Dupee said.

There are similar issues with other spots in front of Bread-N-Brew and Verizon Wireless at the intersection of routes 18 and 58.

"If a large truck is in that last space and you've got a car pulling out right beside it, you have an opportunity for potential collision there," said Dupee.

Village council is expected to discuss the problem and proposed compact car solution in committee at 5 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16.

Jon Brasee's 60-yard interception for a touchdown sealed the deal Friday as Wellington trampled Mapleton 24-6.

It was his second TD of the night. The first came on a 23-yard pass from quarterback Ben Higgins in the fourth quarter.

The Dukes put 7 on the board early in the game off a 20-yarder from Higgins to Nick Laposky — but the second and third quarters were fruitless for both teams.

Grace Dudziak had a field goal in the fourth and Mapleton managed to throw one in but failed the point after attempt.

BUY BACK

FROM D1 built into the February 2004 sale contract: If the school board didn't use the 25 acres by Sept. 30, 2019, the village could get it back for $1.

Now council is exercising that right, though there are no plans for developing the land.

"In principle, it's better to own it than not," said councilman Guy Wells.

Mark Bughman, who chairs council's ordinance committee, said the property is not well-suited to building and the chance of it being fully developed is pretty slim.

"If you were were to walk back there, you would see the ravines are a 40-foot drop. It would take in the millions in order to make it right, because that's where basically the water drains to," he said.

A small portion could potentially be used for a few new homes or to expand the Wellington Mobile Home Park, he said.

No developer other than the school system has ever shown serious interest in acquiring the land, though, said village manager Steve Dupee.

At one time, the property was home to the Ramsey railroad tracks and you can still find tracks, in some places covered, running through Wellington and Pittsfield townships.

Bughman doesn't want to see the ravines disturbed or the trees cut down. He'd prefer to see the Ramsey right-of-way preserved as a park where the railway's history can be remembered.

"It's a good place to be able to walk back there and have some retreat from everyday life," he said.

Pickworth said Foreigner's sold out show on Tuesday helped attendance, as well as the tractor pull, which pulls in competitors from around the country since its sanctioned by the National Tractor Pullers Association. He said the combine lineup, along with the weather, spurred the year’s good attendance.

“I think we just had a superior lineup for the week,” he said.

Two small bridges in Pittsfield Township are targeted for replacement in 2020, with a combined price tag estimated at $623,000.

projects.

The first is a $243,000 replacement of the Pitts Road bridge a quarter mile north of Merriam Road.

The second is a 20-foot bridge on West Road about a quarter-mile north of Kipton Nickle Plate Road. It's a bit more expensive, pegged at around $380,000, because the structure is taller, said Lorain County assistant engineer Bob Klimer.

Both are expected to take 90 days to replace.

The two bridge replacements are contingent on

approval of the OPWC funding, which won't be released until next July, said Klimer.

A third project will rehabilitate the Milan Avenue bridge in downtown Amherst, totaling $69,p00. It has drainage and erosion issues.

The last of the projects included in the OPWC application package is a $3.2 million resurfacing and water main replacement on North Ridge Road in Sheffield Township, from Toledo Avenue east to Rt. 57.

The Erie Street generator suffered a mechanical issue Aug. 19 and the part that broke caused further damage to the equipment.

"This event was pretty catastrophic," village manager Steve Dupee told council last week.

"So we don't know exactly what the extent or cost of this damage is going to be. We suspect it's going to be significant."

The one-megawatt generator provides electricity during periods of peak demand, saving taxpayers about $100,000 per year.

"It couldn't even run a fraction of the town.

Its purpose is really to reduce the community's load during peak periods" and reduce the village's wholesale power cost, Dupee told us.

Buying a whole new generator could run upward of $800,000.

Repairing the existing one could cost anywhere between $50,000 and $250,000, depending on what is found during an inspection. The root cause of the breakdown remains unknown.

"We don't know because we don't know the extent of the damage through the unit," Dupee said.

Here's the silver lining: The cost of repairing the generator will be covered by the savings of having it up and running.

Over its two- or threedecade lifespan, the generator could save Wellington an estimated $2 million to $3 million.

The village might also recoup some of the cost from insurance. An insurance inspector visited Sept. 3 to look at the unit.

Dupee said Wellington may need to contract with a third-party expert to look at it as well.

Grace Dudziak and Maddie Lewis each had a pair of goals as the Dukes girls trampled the Phoenix 7-0 in a Rt. 58 rivalry game on Sept. 4. Natalie Calfo, Lauren Alley, and Ally Haswell each netted one. Oberlin's keepers worked overtime — Charlotte Lee had five saves and Victoria Adair came up with eight. ABOVE: Madalyn Mull fires one at the net. LEFT: Emerson Freas clears the ball for the Dukes.
