Oregon looks for ideas for downtown development Oregon will be seeking requests for proposals for downtown development. City council last year passed a resolution in support of designating a zoning overlay as the first step in creating a downtown area that contains retail, residential, an entertainment district, and open green space along Navarre Avenue. The overlay district covers three areas bordered by Isaac Streets Drive, Navarre Avenue, Coy Road, Dustin Road, and Pickle Road, an area that totals 167 acres. “We are in the final stages of property acquisition,” City Administrator Mike Beazley said at a council meeting on Monday. The city has acquired 30 acres of property from Navarre Avenue to Pickle Road, and property south of Dustin Road, including the former WOHO radio site on Pickle Road, in an effort to attract a developer. The area will likely be mixed use residential and retail. “We had a good meeting with Mercy St. Charles Hospital about their partnership. So we’re looking for ideas. We’re going to listen. This is an important, once every few generations opportunity for Oregon. We’re going to get it right,” he said. The hospital owns some land in the area. “They emphasized that they want to help make sure the properties they own get developed in ways that are consistent with our plans,” Beazley told The Press after the meeting. “We’ve been working with them. We’ll see what develops over time.” Kmart Beazley said the 30 acres behind the WOHO site is under contract for acquisition. The city is also in the process of finalizing an agreement with the former Kmart on Navarre. “We’re in the final stages of going through some of the details of our agreement in acquiring the former Kmart site. It’s not under contract yet, but we’re in the final stages of that. We’ve reached an agreement with the parties, but going through some final technicalities,” he said. Last November, it was announced by Sears Holding Corp. that Kmart, which had

a presence in the city for decades at 2830 Navarre Ave., would close. Gateway Beazley called the former Kmart site an “important gateway to Oregon.” “It’s one of the first things people see when they cross Wheeling Street. It’s an important piece of development for Oregon and for our future. We’re wrapping those things up,” he said. “We’re at the stage now where we’re looking at talking to developers, seeing what ideas they have, understanding what kind of demand there is for restaurants, residential, commercial, and retail,” he said. “In the initial stages, we’ll be leasing it. Long term, it will be an acquisition. Our expectations are that the building will be torn down by the current owners before we take possession.” Beazley asked council for ideas of what kind of development they would like to see in the area. “I’m talking to council members and people in the community about what they’re interested in. Ultimately, it will be driven by what the market is looking for in the area. We’re excited about turning opportunity into real action,” he said. “We could see anything from a blend of medical office and retail and restaurants, but also some residential opportunities as well.”

One more step to closing nuclear plants By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Saying it’s a necessary but unwelcome step, FirstEnergy Solutions last week filed its plans with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for retraining fuel handlers as part of the process for deactivating the company’s three nuclear power plants. Earlier this year, the company announced it planned to deactivate the Davis-

Besse Nuclear Power Station by May 2020. The Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry, Ohio is scheduled to be deactivated by May 2021 and units 1 and 2 of the Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pa. are to be deactivated by May 2021 and October 2021 respectively. As required under the decommissioning process, FirstEnergy Solutions submitted its Certified Fuel Handler Training and Retraining Program Wednesday to the NRC. Don Moul, FES president and chief

nuclear officer, said the submission “… is a necessary milestone for us but not a welcome one. Our nuclear plants provide important environmental, economic and fuel-diversity benefits to our region, but we cannot continue to operate them without state-level policy relief in Ohio and Pennsylvania or immediate and significant market reforms that provide meaningful compensation for the unique attributes nuContinued on page 2

“It gives the option to the developer to bring the buildings up closer to the front lot line to make some walkable space, and move in some innovative ways with parking ratios. Again, it allows the developer to tell us what they think can work for the space in more creative ways,” he said. The world of retail, he said, has changed in the last few years, with people increasingly doing their shopping online. “Real development takes time. It’s not something that happens overnight. But it’s something we’ve been focused on for quite a number of years. We want to get it right. We’re excited about the opportunities. But more importantly, we’re really excited about the interest. So many developers are really interested in Oregon and what we have to offer. So we want to see what we can develop here.”

FES must either purchase the fuel required for Davis-Besse’s next refueling by mid-2019 or proceed with the shutdown. Combined, the three nuclear plants have a capacity of 4,048 megawatts and last year they contributed about 65 percent of the electricity produced by the FES generating fleet. According to the company, the two Ohio nuclear plants represent about 14 percent of the state’s electric generation capacity and 90 percent of its carbon-free emissions capacity. Last month, Exelon Corp filed notice with the Securities Exchange Commission it had entered into an agreement to purchase the power business of FES for $140 million. Under the agreement, Exelon Generation

A bicyclist killed in an Aug. 12 crash during a triathlon contest near Gibsonburg failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of County Road 32 and Township Road 55, according to the Fremont post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The cyclist, Dr. Mark Wladecki, 60, of Avon Lake, was travelling westbound on TR 55 and entered the intersection where he collided with a southbound GMC Acadia driven by Wayne Groweg, 74, of Gibsonburg. The crash occurred about 8:46 a.m., the patrol said. Wladecki was ejected from his bicycle. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. No charges or citations had been issued as of Wednesday and alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash. The Fremont Post was assisted at the scene by the Sandusky County Sheriff’s Department, Gibsonburg Police Department, Sandusky County EMS, Sandusky County Park Rangers, Lucas County Coroner’s Office, and Ash’s towing.

Co. would purchase FES retail electricity and wholesale load serving contracts and “certain other related commodity contracts.” In March, FirstEnergy Corp. announced it was moving forward with its plan to exit the competitive generation business and become a fully regulated utility. Its subsidiary, FES, and its subsidiaries and FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co., voluntarily filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 that month. Charles Jones, president and chief executive officer of FirstEnergy, noted at the

time that FirstEnergy and its other subsidiaries were not part of the bankruptcy filing. Many operators of coal and nuclear plants haven’t been able to compete against less expensive power generated by natural gas as well as renewable sources. In his May 21 blog, John Finnigan, attorney for the Environmental Defense Fund, writes that capacity has risen as old coal plants close and new natural gas plants open. “In PJM, the largest regional electricity in the country, 1.9 gigawatts of coal plants closed in 2017 as 2.8 gigawatts of new natural gas plants were added. Utility companies must have access to enough power plants to produce all the electricity needed to serve their customers – known as capacity. In the PJM region, utilities purchase electricity capacity through auctions in which power plant owners bid to meet the utilities’ demand. In the latest PJM capacity auction for 2020-2021, prices fell 23 percent – showing that we have more power plants than we need, as far as the eye can see,” he wrote.

Six-year-old girl recovering after being shot By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com A six-year-old girl is recovering after being shot by her brother. Oregon police responded to a report of a juvenile being shot at 224 Van Buren St. at 5:56 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13. Upon arrival, police found the six-year-old girl had been shot in the arm. It was determined that the girl’s seven-year-old brother had accidentally shot her after finding the firearm in a dresser drawer. The children were with their father, who was visiting a family friend, according to Oregon police. The homeowner, Lisa M. Peace, 53, was charged with child endangering. Oregon EMS cared for the child and transported her to St. Vincent’s Hospital, where her injuries were considered nonlife threatening. Oregon Police Chief Mike Navarre briefed city council at a meeting just after the shooting. “This evening, our dispatch received a report of a person shot at 224 Van Buren, which is in the city of Oregon near the

western boundary with the City of Toledo. When the officers arrived, they found a sixyear-old girl shot in the right forearm. The bullet had lodged in her forearm and had broken the bone. As of an hour ago, they were contemplating taking her into surgery to remove the bullet. It’s a non-life threatening wound. She’s going to be OK,” said Navarre. Automatic handgun He added that she was shot accidentally by her seven-year-old brother in one of the bedrooms in the house. “They were at a house, which was two houses down from their grandmother’s. They were with their father. He was in the front room of the house. The homeowner at that location sent the two small children into the bedroom to watch TV. It was in the bedroom where they opened a drawer and found a loaded .25 automatic handgun. The seven-year-old was handling the gun when it went off and shot the six-year-old.” The homeowner was charged with child endangering, a felony of the third degree, he added. “After consultation with our pros-

ecutor, Melissa Purpura, [Peace] is being booked as we speak. It’s unfortunate that the child was shot, but we’re very fortunate it was a non-life threatening wound. It could have been worse,” said Navarre. Glitch On the following day, the Oregon police learned that the home in question where the child was shot was actually a Toledo residence and Oregon police had been dispatched as the result of a “hiccup” in the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. CAD is a highly specialized application that allows for the coordinated communication, assignment and tracking of police department resources in response to calls for service. As a result of the glitch, the matter was turned over to the Toledo Police Department that morning. Charges were to be refiled by Toledo Police. “Though there was a minor glitch, the important thing is that the victim was cared for and the situation was handled efficiently and expediently,” according to Paul Magdich, assistant police chief. “Steps are being taken to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.”

Change to Medicaid pharmacy pricing overdue By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Last week’s decision by the Ohio Department of Medicaid requiring its five managed care plans to terminate contracts with pharmacy benefits managers using a “spread pricing” model is long overdue, said State Representative Teresa Fedor, D-Toledo, who contends millions of Ohioans have been affected financially by “big-pharma middlemen.” In an Aug. 14 letter to the five care plans, Barbara Sears, director of Ohio Medicaid, directs the care plans to cease working with CVS, Caremark and Optum and sets a Jan. 1 deadline for the care plans to complete deals with pharmacy benefits managers that agree to a “pass through” model in which the plans pay the PBM’s fees. Sears said the pass-through model will be more transparent and won’t cost taxpayers extra money. For the consumer, a spread-pricing model is based on the difference between the retail price and the PBM’s negotiated rate. Under a pass-through structure, a PBM is required to charge a managed care plan the same amount the PBM pays for prescriptions and dispensing fees. Rep. Fedor said Wednesday she’d

read an advanced copy of an audit report that analyzes the pricing structure. “Although I am glad that this decision has finally come, I am disappointed that it has gone on long enough to take a toll on our communities,” she said, adding the problem has been particularly acute in areas hard hit by the opioid crisis. Buckeye Health Plan, CareSource Ohio Market, Paramount Advantage, United Healthcare Community Plan of Ohio and Molina Healthcare of Ohio are the five managed care plans. The Ohio auditor’s office issued a report last week recommending the state perform an analysis to identify the costs and benefits of requiring pass through contracting for its pharmacy services. “In pass-through contracting, the PBM charges the plan a flat administrative fee per claim or per member and then passes the exact price paid to the pharmacy through to the plan. In the interim, the (Medicaid) Department should work with its plans and the PBMs to ensure that reimbursement methodologies reflect reasonable costs associated with providing the service,” the report says. According to the report, PBMs were designed to reduce costs in administering a prescription drug benefit program. “However, PBMs have grown and

now have substantial profit-making ability through price spreading and rebates, which are payments negotiated directly with pharmaceutical manufacturers. Also, many pharmacy owners maintain that PBMs have a conflict of interest since they can require customers to obtain prescriptions only from mail-order and specialty pharmacies they own,” the report says. The legislature asked the auditor’s office to analyze several issues pertaining to pharmacy services and the Medicaid program, including a lack of transparent data on pharmacy services; a disconnect between pharmacy reimbursement and overall costs to the Medicaid program (spread pricing); a potential conflict of interest related to a retail pharmacy chain that is affiliated with one of the Medicaid PBMs and reported reductions in pharmacy reimbursements and the impact of reductions in pharmacy reimbursements on access to care, particularly in rural communities. CVS issued a statement last week that it is “actively working” with its Ohio Managed Medicaid clients to restructure its contracts to implement the new pricing model. “PBMs have saved Ohio taxpayers $145 million annually through the services they provide to the state’s Medicaid managed care plans,” the statement said.

CedarCreek Oregon A dedication and ribbon-cutting will be held Thursday, Sept. 6 from 6-7:30 p.m. to commemorate the official launch of weekend services at the CedarCreek Church Oregon Campus at 3540 Seaman St. The event will feature CedarCreek Church Lead Pastor Ben Snyder, Oregon Campus Pastor Andy Rectenwald, members of the CedarCreek Church Executive Team, and leaders in the greater Oregon community. Attendees will experience an example of what a service in CedarCreek’s Oregon Campus will be like, participate in prayer for the community of Oregon, and tour the building. The grand opening for the Oregon Campus is scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 9 with two identical services at 9 and 10:45 a.m. “We care about Northwest Ohio/ Southeast Michigan and we have been praying for an opportunity to plant a new campus in the Oregon community for the past few years,” Snyder said. “It is our hope that the people of Oregon would know how much they matter to God and how much they matter to us.” CedarCreek Church is a non-denominational church with five current campus locations in Northwest Ohio, including Findlay, Perrysburg, South Toledo, West Toledo and Whitehouse, and live online at CedarCreek.tv.

Camp NEOSA On Aug. 1, 54 children ages 6-12 from Ottawa County got up early, boarded a chartered bus filled with snacks and movies, and headed to Camp NEOSA (Northeast Ohio Salvation Army) in Carrollton, Ohio for five days of swimming, canoeing, hiking, outside sport activities, singing, arts and crafts and more. Camp NEOSA is one of the many programs offered by the Salvation ArmyPort Clinton Service Unit. The camp provides an atmosphere where campers learn skills in developing physical, social and spiritual skills.

Farmers Market helps seniors Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) last week held an event at Westgate Market in Toledo with local health and nutrition experts from the Area Office of Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Neighborhood Health Association and ProMedica to highlight the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) as well as other initiatives to help ensure food security. The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program helps older Americans, mostly on fixed incomes, to obtain fresh fruits and vegetables and eat nutritious locally grown foods. Other local measures discussed include food pharmacies, affordable and well-stocked grocery stores in food deserts, the importance of good nutrition to wellness, and the SeaGate Food Bank and its mobile market. “The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, is a win-win for farmers and seniors alike and I thank these groups for joining me today to highlight this program and its benefits for older Americans,” said Kaptur. “Too often our seniors are without nutritious and fresh fruits and vegetables

and two decades after we pushed for this program it has proven to be both popular and puts dollars in the pockets of our local growers. “In a nation whose wealth is abundant but not shared by all, we continue to look for creative solutions to food insecurity. I encourage all to take advantage of these great initiatives to partake of and enjoy the delicious fresh produce grown by our neighbors!” This month the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded $2.2 million to Produce Perks Midwest in order to expand the offering and increase access to fresh locally-grown food to 1.4 million Ohioans who receive SNAP. This nutrition incentive provides a dollar for dollar match to those using SNAP to purchase fresh produce from farmers markets and retailers in over 100 locations throughout our state, including the Toledo Farmers Market and ProMedica’s Market on the Green. Produce Perks benefits our local economy, farmers, and families. Kaptur encouraged those who may be eligible to sign up for the coupons and check out the services.

Grant awarded for fire department The Lindsey Volunteer Fire Department is the beneficiary of a $2,500 grant from Monsanto Corp. thanks to local farmers Gary and Deborah Bach. The Bach’s were awarded the choice of designating an organization for this year’s grant and they chose the department. The fire department purchased smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, escape ladders and reflective house number signs for homeowners living in the area the fire department services.

When the fire department responds to any emergency, the residence is surveyed and if any of these items are needed, the fire department will either install them immediately or will schedule a time to have them installed. Residents in the Lindsey Fire District who need any of the items should contact the fire department at 419-261-8886. Chief Russ Zimmerman said the grant will help residents in the district make their homes safer.

Observatory honors volunteers People On Aug. 12, Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) held its annual volunteer appreciation picnic and recognized several volunteers with prestigious awards. Shieldcastle Awards for Outstanding Volunteer Service were presented to Jack and Cathy Burris, of Fostoria, and Brad Winke, of Port Clinton. Named in honor of Mark and Julie Shieldcastle, two of the founding members of the Observatory, the award recognizes individuals who have given extraordinary time, talent, and service to BSBO’s mission of teaming research with education to promote bird conservation. Conservation Service Awards, given for exemplary service to the cause of bird conservation, were presented to Delores Cole, of Amherst, and Paula Lozano, of Lakewood. In addition to a volunteer picnic, volunteers went on a guided hike with Kenn Kaufman, of Kaufman Field Guides, at Howard Marsh Metropark. BSBO also hosted a bird-banding demonstration for volunteers where they got to see birds and the research team’s work up close and personal. BSBO’s annual volunteer appreciation picnic celebrates the observatory’s work and the thousands of volunteer hours required to achieve the organization’s goals. This year, more than 200 volunteers contributed nearly 4,500 hours to support BSBO’s mission. From hosting one of the country’s

Opinion

Ireland a leader in divesting from fossil fuels On July 12, a small, rainy island in the North Atlantic proved it was on the right side of history. The Republic of Ireland passed a bill to divest its $370 million worth of investments in around 150 fossil fuel companies within five years. Should the bill pass the Irish Senate in September, which it is expected to do, Ireland will become the first country to fully divest from fossil fuels. This action marks a huge step forward. For years now, neighborhood climate activists have pressured cities, universities, and governments to divest their holdings in fossil fuel companies. The idea is to defund and denounce the industry that contributes the most to climate change, funds climate denial, and prevents climate action. With its divestment bill, Ireland will join a group of almost 900 cities, universities, and governments that have collectively divested over $6 trillion from the extractive fossil fuel economy. As a leader of a fossil fuel divestment campaign on my college campus in Massachusetts, Ireland’s leadership offers a fun bit of leverage: If an entire country can fully divest from fossil fuels and not crumble into financial despair (in fact, fossil fuels have been a losing investment for years), my university can surely divest its endowment from this destructive industry without harming its revenues. Ireland’s leadership can also inspire local governments to divest their pension funds from fossil fuels. While it’s quite unlikely that our current federal government will follow in Ireland’s footsteps, American cities and towns can take a stand against the fossil fuel industry one pension fund at a time.

“

Whether you're a student, worker, or resident, you can pressure your school, company, or local government to stand for the planet...

“

By Celia Bottger

New York City’s pledge to divest its $189 billion pension fund from fossil fuels is perhaps the most ambitious of these commitments. Not only is the city divesting — it’s also suing five fossil fuel firms for their contributions to climate change. Equally compelling, however, are the numerous smaller American cities that have committed to full divestment from fossil fuels. The city of Richmond, California, one of the poorest communities in the Bay Area, similarly pledged to divest and to sue fossil fuel companies. Surrounded on all three sides by water, and populated by many low-income people of color, the city and its population are disproportionately

impacted by climate change. Richmond’s main employer is a Chevron refinery, which for decades has employed residents while simultaneously polluting their environment, jeopardizing their health, and contributing to sea level rise, which threatens to displace the very population that it employs. Other local governments that have taken the plunge include Amherst, Massachusetts; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Dane County, Wisconsin; and Multnomah County, Oregon, which have all committed to full divestment from oil, gas, and coal companies. Whether you’re a student, worker, or resident, you can pressure your school, company, or local government to stand for the planet by divesting from fossil fuels. If Ireland, a country known for its religious and political conservatism, can make this commitment to climate justice, anyone can.

Is it OK for United States monopolies to rule? By Jim Hightower Monopolies aren’t merely un-American — they’re virulently anti-American. They suppress our fundamental values of fairness and opportunity for all. Our people have instinctively rebelled at monopoly avarice — from the Boston Tea Party to the populist movement, labor unions, trust busters, muckrakers, the New Deal, and even Ralph Nader. Yet, in just the last couple of decades, corporate elites and their public officials have enshrined monopoly power as a legitimate form of business in our land, aggressively protected by lawmakers, regulators, and judges. For example, after our grassroots economy was crushed in 2007 by the greed of too-big-to-fail Wall Street banksters, officials bailed out the villainous banks at taxpayer expense — and deliberately made

Guest Editorial them bigger, more powerful, and more dangerous than ever. Today, just five banks control nearly half of all financial assets in the United States. You’d think such a massive power grab by bank monopolists would produce an equally massive, 24/7 barrage of coverage by the nation’s media outlets, which purport to be defenders of democracy. But while an occasional story pops out about monopoly abuse, there’s no comprehensive coverage to rally a public rebellion against what’s become the “United States of Monopoly Rule.”

Why? Look at who owns America’s mass media. Three decades ago, 50 large media conglomerates controlled 90 percent of the media. This year, after a frenzy of mergers among of those giants, just 6 mega-media monopolists control 90 percent of what we see, hear, and read. It’s not in their interest to inform the public about the threat that monopolies pose to our democracy, so they won’t. As the great journalist A.J. Liebling warned nearly 40 years ago, “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.” To help battle the monopolists, check out the Center for Media and Democracy at www.prwatch.org/cmd.

Don’t fall into the same old trap of low expectations How much you accomplish in life is influenced by what you expect to accomplish. Those with low expectations have a low threshold for what they will be satisfied with. For them mediocrity or less, is good enough. People with high expectations have a standard of excellence for themselves and what they want to achieve. They push themselves to accomplish challenging goals. They set the bar higher than may be comfortable. Your expectations are the first step for programming your mind to work towards a particular goal. Your expectations determine what you will be satisfied with. Typically, your mind will not accomplish more than you expect. What would happen to an athlete who expects to lose each race? Their training would never be at a winning level. They would not put much effort into preparation. They would not push themselves during a race. That’s why you won’t find competitive athletes who expect to lose. What expectations do you have for yourself? What expectations do you have for the future? Your mind will only meet, not exceed your expectations. If you have low expectations, the best you can achieve are low results. Let’s look at some examples of the negative impact of low expectations. An athlete who expects to lose has no chance of winning. A small business owner who expects to go bankrupt will not succeed. A teenager who expects that no one will like him or

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden her will have a difficult time socializing. A performer who expects to deliver an awful performance will disappoint the audience. Low expectations create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since your mind strives to at best, meet the expectations you set, low expectations severely limit your achievements. Success demands high expectations. Can you imagine an Olympic skier who expected to fall? Of course not. Such a mindset would make winning impossible. They would not be training to win. During the race, they would not be competing to win. Would a person who is opening a new business expect to go bankrupt? Such an attitude virtually ensures bankruptcy sooner than later. If bankruptcy was a foregone conclusion in their mind, they would then make endless poor financial decisions. A person who expects that no one likes them, or will like them, subconsciously acts in a manner which repels the people they come into contact with. Their behavior creates a self-fulfilling prophesy, which then reinforces their low expectations. What would happen to an actress or actor who expected to give a terrible performance before going out on stage? Would

they have any chance of delivering an award-winning presentation? Of course not. Their mind subconsciously limits their actions because of their low expectations. Any low expectations you have for yourself also create a self-fulfilling prophesy. You bring about the same results you are expecting. This is the trap of low expectations. The only way to break free is by elevating your expectations. Take some time to thoroughly and honestly assess the expectations you have for yourself and for your life. In order to make positive changes you must have high expectations. Don’t waste time formulating justifications for any low expectations. Excuses for why you can’t, or won’t accomplish an objective, prevent you from doing so. These excuses program your mind with low expectations. “I’m not smart enough,” “I don’t know how,” “Nothing I do works,” or “I really don’t want that much,” are just some of the endless examples of low expectation excuses. If you don’t already do so, start setting high expectations. Don’t accept mediocrity. Raise your own bar for what you want out of life. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Rebate benefit To the editor: Ohio’s workers are essential to the growth of our economy. Since its inception, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) has been helping private and public employers protect their employees in the workplace. The premiums paid by these employers go towards offering important safety services and resources in cases of job-related injuries. The BWC announced this year that it will be refunding $1.5 billion to Ohio’s businesses and employers, its fourth rebate since 2013. This latest rebate brings the total that BWC has saved employers since 2011 to $8 billion, which has a real impact on Ohio’s economy across communities. The BWC is able to make these returns because of safer work environments that have resulted in a reduction in insurance claims, investment returns which have yielded higher numbers than expected, and responsible fiscal management combined with a strong economy. Many eligible employers have already received their checks, which equal 85 percent of their premium for the policy year ending June 30, 2017 (calendar year 2016 for public employers). Make sure to check your mail again and then contact BWC if you did not receive your check. For the 89th House District, private and public employers in Ottawa County will receive more than $2.5 million and those in Erie County will receive more than $5.5 million. Businesses in these counties can use these additional resources to continue growing their operations and help bolster our state’s economy at large. This move by BWC is not only welcome news to employers, but it is good, responsible policy. Considering its financial strength, BWC’s position to give back to public and private employers will ultimately benefit the state as a whole, giving businesses back their earnings spent on premiums and creating greater job security for Ohioans.

Your distracted driving can have deadly consequences Crime Prevention Corner by Ron Craig

“

Again, it is not worth your life or the lives of others to have the coffee as you’re driving down the road.

“

Distracted driving is quickly becoming a bigger and bigger factor in crashes on our roadways, many times with deadly results. Most people don’t even realize the many types of distracted driving that exist. While most think cell phone use – talking or texting – is the dominant factor behind distracted driving, it is certainly not the only one. Daydreaming while behind the wheel causes a driver to pay less attention to what is going on around him or her, and more importantly, what is going on in the road ahead. Many people use their drive time to think about and plan their day ahead, be it at work or at home. Even on the way to their jobs, drivers may be plotting the logistics of what they will be doing after the work day is over. Taking Johnny to soccer practice, and making sure Susie gets to her piano lesson is important to parents, but they are not worth involvement in a crash. A better time to make such plans is before you hit the roadway. Maybe while you are showering or getting dressed is an alternative. You may consider taking time during a break at work to give deep thoughts to the subject. Listening to music may be another form of distracted driving that affects you. You need not be a young person for this to occur. Some use the car radio, either to

tune in their favorite station or to connect a music player device, to listen to music. All too many people use earbuds or headphones while driving. In Ohio, it is illegal to use earbuds or headphones with both ears while driving. The reason for this is simple – if you have both ears being used to listen to music, you are probably unable to hear sirens, horns, train whistles, and other warning devices. Another form of distracted driving is

something that almost everyone is guilty of at one time or another: eating or drinking beverages. You’ve just got to have that coffee before you get to work, right? Again, it is not worth your life or the lives of others to have the coffee as you’re driving down the road. Drink the java before you leave home or wait until you arrive at your destination to avoid this problem. Putting the coffee or other beverage back in a cupholder may require a driver to take his or her eyes off the road for even a few seconds. Those few seconds of inattention may be all it takes to not see the driver in front of you apply the brakes. Now, let’s take a look at texting and driving, and allow me to discuss two incidents of which I have personal knowledge. A few years ago, there was a crash in which a young woman was killed when she plowed into the rear of a semi tractor-trailer rig. The truck was stopped in the roadway due to construction ahead, and the investigation revealed the woman had not even slowed down at the time of impact. The investigation also found the woman was texting at the time. She left behind a husband and three young children, including a 5-month old baby. This woman was a friend of mine with whom I had worked at one time. A few weeks ago, I was driving on SR

795 in Lake Township when I noticed in my rear-view mirror a car coming up very fast behind me in another lane. She did not slow down as she passed me in my police vehicle, but I could see she was texting. When I caught up beside her at a traffic light, she said she did not realize she was speeding, much less that she had passed a police vehicle, because of her texting. As intense crash investigation becomes more widely used, more and more incidents are being found in which cell phone use is at least a contributing factor. As much as driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is a plague on our highways, distracted driving is equally a preventable problem. Law enforcement officers pull up behind vehicles pulled off and stopped on the shoulder to check for a problem only to find out the driver pulled over to make or take an important cell phone call or text. As long as they have stopped in a safe place, a good officer will thank the driver for doing so. Still, the best bet is to just turn off the phone. This article is a public service from the Crime Prevention Division of the Lake Township Police Department. Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Ron Craig, crime prevention specialist/community policing officer, at 419-481-6354.

150,000th surgery Sometime next week, (Aug. 20-24), Humane Ohio expects to perform their 150,000th spay/neuter surgery since the organization’s founding in 2006. Currently, the ASPCA estimates that 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year just in the United States. While that number is thankfully falling, there is still a long way to go before there are enough loving families to accommodate the current over-population of homeless pets.

Community support essential for breastfeeding mothers By Angie Ruth Program Director, WIC Program Sandusky County Health Department August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month in Ohio. Research suggests that breastfeeding is a key modifiable factor for disease for both mothers and infants. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that Ohio’s 2016 breastfeeding initiation rate of 77.7 percent ranks 38th in the nation. For this year’s Breastfeeding Awareness Month, Ohio is adopting the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) theme: Breastfeeding, Foundation of Life. This theme focuses on breastfeeding as a key to preventing hunger and malnutrition by ensuring food security for babies. By decreasing the burden on household income, breastfeeding provides a low-cost way to feed babies which contributes to poverty reduction.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continued breastfeeding with the addition of appropriate solid food for the first year and beyond. “Breastfeeding saves lives, saves money, and helps to protect our environment by eliminating waste. All elements of the community must cooperate and support breastfeeding” said Angie Ruth, Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Director. “Ultimately, our whole society benefits from having healthier mothers, babies and children when breastfeeding is promoted, protected and supported.” One of the most important things businesses and the community can do is to allow mothers to feel comfortable nursing in public. Hungry babies need to eat, and Ohio law (Section 3781.55 of the Ohio Revised Code) allows breastfeeding in pub-

lic. Businesses can show their support by placing the “Breastfeeding Welcome Here” universal sign for breastfeeding in their windows and educate their staffs on the acceptance of breastfeeding in their establishments. They can also encourage their employees and provide a private space (other than a bathroom) to pump. This will increase employee retention and reduce medical costs. Hospitals can adopt the “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding” as an indication that they are dedicated to supporting new mothers who choose to breastfeed. By eliminating formula gifts to breastfeeding mothers, they send the message that they believe mothers can make enough milk to breastfeed exclusively. Educational institutions can support breastfeeding by presenting age-appropriate education on the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Local county fairs can teach young children about how other

mammals feed their young with milk that is made just for them. Childcare providers and libraries can also stock children’s books that show breastfeeding as a normal part of family life. Social media can also provide support to breastfeeding mothers through Facebook and Twitter. Breastfeeding mothers can reach out through groups and chatrooms and get the support they need to feel normal in a formula feeding culture. Breastfeeding is a personal choice, but communities play a vital role in informing and supporting a mother’s decision to breastfeed her baby. Returning our communities back into a breastfeeding supportive culture will take efforts by family, friends, employers, educational institutions, hospitals and businesses. For more information about breastfeeding in Sandusky County, call The Sandusky County Health Department at 419-3346377.

August is a great time to enjoy your garden’s beauty August gardens are full of annuals, perennials and flowering vines in glorious bloom and lush with color and fragrance. One flower that is in gorgeous color now is the sword lily. With its elegant blooms that cascade along its tall spiky stems, this lily is a standout in any bed, garden or bouquet. The sword lily, better known as the gladiola, is the August flower of the month. This flower, as well as being a unique beauty, has an interesting legend as to how it got its name. The name gladiola comes from the word “gladiator.� In Roman history, these were swordsmen who engaged in mortal combat in the arenas of the Roman cities. Legend has it that two Thracian warriors who had been taken as captives by Roman soldiers were fated to take part in the gladiator games in a duel to the death against

each other. However, they were friends, and on the day of their meet, they both plunged their swords into the earth and embraced each other and the guards fell on them and killed them. It is said that their swords quickly took root and bloomed with large glorious flowers. They were called gladiolas and came to represent friendship, loyalty and nobility. Victorians who gifted others with gladiola bouquets claimed that a gift of gladiolas would pierce (or touch) the heart of the recipient with love. August is a great time for gardeners to take time to enjoy the gardens, beds and backyards that they have been working on this summer. August also seems to lend itself to light, nutritious meals and are a great way to use and benefit from the bounty of fresh

produce available now. Along with the abundance of blooming plants, gardens now are full of ripening tomatoes, plump green beans, summer squash, sweet corn and so much more. All of these are delicious fresh, boiled or baked, but they make a special summer-time treat when served grilled. Preparing grilled veggies is very easy. With a gas or charcoal grill, use medium heat. With charcoal, let the coals burn down to a medium heat. • Summer squash – use strips Ÿ-inch thick • Pepper strips – strips Ÿ-inch thick • Beefsteak or large, meaty tomato varieties – slices Ÿ-inch thick • Green beans • Asparagus • Sweet onion – peeled and cut into

six wedges After washing, slicing, and drying veggies, sprinkle with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt and other seasonings, as desired. Grill the summer squash slices, pepper strips, tomato slices, one minute on each side. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Asparagus and green beans will need four minutes on each side. Onions must be covered while grilling. Grill for 10 minutes on each side. Arrange the grilled veggies on a platter, sprinkle with a bit more olive oil, salt and pepper. August tips: Hose foliage frequently to protect it from insects and heat. Keep potted plants watered and lightly fertilize them each week. Email garden questions to dpl3@accesstoledo.com.

How to curtail wedding spending & sĆ&#x;ll impress guests

Tying the knot can be an expensive endeavor. According to The Knot 2017 Real Weddings Study, which surveyed nearly 13,000 brides and grooms in the United States who got married in 2017, the average cost of a wedding was more than $33,000. That ÄŽgure may surprise some couples planning their weddings, many of whom may not be able

to aÄŤord spending so much on their ceremonies and recepĆ&#x;ons. Couples may feel pressure to compete with friends and relaĆ&#x;ves whose weddings they have aĆŠended in the past, and that may compel some to stretch their budgets and even go into debt to ÄŽnance their nupĆ&#x;als. • Trim the guest list. The 2017 Real Weddings Study found that couples spent an average of $268 per guest in 2017. Many couples are recognizing that smaller guest lists are a great way to lower wedding spending, and The Knot study found that the average guest count decreased from 149 in 2009 to 136 in 2017. Trimming the guest list may seem harsh, but couples who work together need not cut their guest lists in half. Couples who spend the 2017 average per guest can save nearly $3,000 by removing just 10 people from their guest lists. • Expand your venue horizons. A greater number of couples are looking beyond tradiĆ&#x;onal wedding venues and opĆ&#x;ng for more unique locales to Ć&#x;e the knot. The 2017 Real Weddings Study found that 15 percent of 2017 weddings were held on farms, ranches and even in barns, while just 2 percent of weddings were hosted in such venues in 2009. The growing popularity of unique wedding venues may make some locaĆ&#x;ons more expensive than couples anĆ&#x;cipate, but a willingness to Ć&#x;e the knot in a unique venue greatly increases couples’ opĆ&#x;ons, improving the chances they will ÄŽnd more aÄŤordable venues. • Cut back on guest entertainment. Customizing experiences for guests is a major reason why today’s couples are spending so much more per guest than their predecessors. Spending for customized guest entertainment, which includes things like photo booths, sparklers and video booths, tripled between 2009 and 2017. Couples may want to give their guests unique experiences, but should not stretch their budgets or go into debt to do so. • Tie the knot in winter. Summer and fall were the most popular wedding seasons in 2017, and that does not ÄŽgure to change anyĆ&#x;me soon. Couples can take advantage of those trends by geĆŤng married in winter, a slow season for wedding venues and vendors, who might be more Ňexible with their prices. Weddings are expensive, but couples can ÄŽnd ways to cut costs without sacriÄŽcing quality.

Clay H.S. receives donation of Stop the Bleed kits Nikolas McNeal spelled it out in a letter to Mercy Health – St. Charles President Craig Albers: “I am a student at Clay High School. We wish to take the necessary preemptive measures to ensure the safety of every student at Clay in case of an emergency.” In response to this heartfelt letter. Mercy Health – St. Charles administration and S&D Capital collaborated to donate the funds to purchase 90 “Stop the Bleed” kits for classrooms at Clay. “Stop the Bleed,” an initiative to prevent excessive bleeding in emergencies, was established by the American College of Surgeons in response to the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy, in an effort to limit deaths from violent injuries. By teaching civilians and public safety officers how to act as immediate responders, they can limit the trauma from severe blood loss and help save lives. Mercy Health has partnered with schools, businesses and organizations throughout the region to train citizens how to stop bleeding in emergency situations. To date, members of the trauma team have helped prepare approximately 1,000 area residents to respond to a traumatic bleeding situation.

“The Stop the Bleed education is so important. Training programs and public awareness campaigns such as CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver have helped save many lives – this program can too,” said Mercy Health Trauma and Burn Prevention Coordinator Nicole Knepper. Every Clay High School teacher received the training this spring during an all-day health and wellness event sponsored by the school district. The next step was to give the teachers the kits should they need to use these skills. Stop the Bleed kits include latex-free gloves, tourniquet, compression bandage, bleeding control dressing, and instruction card and marker. They will be made available in each classroom. “Nikolas’ note was powerful because of the social awareness that he and members of the student council at Clay High School had about the types of emergencies that our youth deal with today,” Craig Albers said. “Mercy Health - St. Charles Hospital has been a member of Oregon for nearly seven decades and we pledge to do what we can to make our community feel safe and cared for.”

that we can approach the grave with a full-throated singing of our dreams and ideals? One way is to keep doing the best that we can, knowing we are finite creatures who often stumble. But, at least if we know that we have run the race with determination, never giving up, we will know we have done our best. We should also realize that this isn’t an individual race, but a relay race, where we have taken the baton from others and will soon pass it on. And finally, to complete the analogy, the coach of our team is God, and ultimately God’s team will win. We are all cosmic winners if we are on the side of goodness. “When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way.” Psalm 142:3

We expected great things from life but are disappointed to see our dreams unfulfilled and time running out. Thoreau famously remarked that “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” Living with this desperation takes a heavy toll which few can bear. Most of us either relinquish the dreams or lower our expectations. Some of us continue to believe that the brass ring might still be grasped. But no one can live with the thought that they have somehow failed at life, or failed to live up to their own ideals. So how should we face this? How do we live in such a way

If you feel it is needed, drive your child (or walk with her) to school and pick her up on the first day, and get there early on the first day to cut down on unnecessary stress. Make sure to touch base with your child’s new teacher at the beginning or end of the day so the teacher knows how much you want to be supportive of your child’s school experience.

Monarchs: Midwest to Mexico at the Toledo Zoo Hans Christian Andersen wrote: “Living is not enough, said the butterfly, one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.” The Toledo Zoo couldn’t agree more and invites the public to be a part of its butterfly conservation efforts through the annual sponsorship opportunity, Monarchs: Midwest to Mexico. Each year, tens of thousands of monarch butterflies make their annual flight from northern breeding grounds to over-wintering sites, high in the forests of Mexico. As part of its ongoing butterfly conservation work, the Zoo has bred more than 500 monarch butterflies for release on this yearly migration. The monarchs are beginning to emerge and will soon be ready for release. Before being released, each of the Zoo’s monarchs receives a unique and painless ID tag, allowing the Zoo to receive

data if the migratory butterflies are spotted on their 3,000-plus mile journey toward Michoacán, Mexico. To date, nearly 40 tags have been recovered and documented from Zoo releases. Be a part of the monarchs’ journey by sponsoring the winged ambassadors, starting at $10. Visit toledozoo.org/monarch to sponsor a butterfly. The opportunity to participate will flutter away on Sept. 30. Then, join the Zoo as they wish the butterflies well on their journey from the Midwest to Mexico with public releases each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in Nature’s Neighborhood now through September. Zoo admission rates apply. Releases may be affected by weather and butterfly population numbers.

New league? Doesn’t deter Golden Bears By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

Mike Hessman. (Press file photo by Scott Grau courtesy Toledo Mud Hens)

Home run king returns On Thursday, it was "Hail to the King" at Fifth Third Field. Former Toledo Mud Hen Mike Hessman, the Home Run King, was inducted into the International League Hall of Fame during a pregame ceremony. Hessman made history when he belted career minor league home run number 433 in a Mud Hens uniform on August 3, 2015. During Thursday's ceremony, Hessman was also added to the Mud Hens Hall of Fame wall. Hessman played for the Toledo Mud Hens from 2005-2009, and also in 2009, 2014 and 2015. Hessman is the subject of a song by Boston-area singer-songwriter Howie Newman and is included on his album, When You’re Happy. Titled “The Ballad of Mike Hessman (Minor League Home Run King),” it chronicles Hessman’s 20-year baseball career that began in 1996.

One year ago, Gibsonburg’s volleyball team finished 17-7 and was Toledo Area Athletic Conference runner-up behind Toledo Christian. The Golden Bears had a shot at the title — came close, but it didn’t happen. This year it’s a whole new look — the first year competing in the Sandusky Bay Conference River Division. That is not deterring anyone in Gibsonburg from thinking about championship aspirations. “I believe that we will be within the top three of the league this season,” said third-year coach Jolynn Brossia. “We have a lot of experience still on the court with the six seniors who are going to be great leaders and push the younger girls to want to get better every day. “We have some great competition this year with (Tiffin) Calvert, New Riegel and Old Fort. This is our first season in this league so it will be interesting for us this year. We have played a couple of the teams regularly but all the other schools are going to be new challenges for us.” Brossia’s all-time record at Gibsonburg is 32-15, but the win-loss percentage could go up because she has seven returning letter winners. While she has talent on her front line, Brossia says her team’s biggest strength will be on the defensive side. “This year our strength is going to be defense,” Brossia said. “We are a short team but we will not let the ball hit the ground without a fight. We hustle to every ball and strive to be a great defensive team. “Offense will be a little bit of a struggle for us but we are working on ways to figure out how to get that kill. Placement of the ball will be a key role for us this season.” A key player for Gibsonburg this year is going to be senior outside hitter Katelyn Kolkelmeyer. “She will be the person that we look to when we need someone to put the ball away,” Vorst said. “Katelyn Kolkelmeyer and Katie Havis are going to be my two goto hitters this season. Katelyn knows how to place the ball very well and is smart when it comes to placing it. Last year Katelyn was behind our middle hitter Chloe Morelock, who had over 300 kills last season, Katelyn

Rangers say ‘RIP Tony’

The 14th Annual Northwood Ranger Baseball Alumni game was played in honor of 1987 graduate Tony Rable, who passed away this summer. The odd year team grinded out a 13-11 victory for No. 10 (Rable's number). Rable still holds the Northwood schoool record for five hits in a game, which occurred in a sectional championship victory against Patrick Henry. Alumni game organizer Patrick McGaharan says, “RIP Tony.” Front row, left to right: Joel Whitmore, Evan LaPlante , Bruce Sternburg, Dave Mysinger, John Vasko, Brian Amstutz, Nolan Knisley, and Jim Mysinger. Standing, left to right: Rick Coy, Jarred Hayes, Tim Romstadt, Dave Minarcin, Shane McGaharan, Sean Whitmore, Chad Smith, Ron Koles, Mike Romstadt, Patrick McGaharan, Tyler Lindurst, Luke Bombrys, Jon Pocse, Tim Romstadt, Nick Bonnette, John Hunsaker, and Jeff Knisely.

(Photo courtesy Innovations Portrait Studio/InnovationsVisualImpact.com) had over 150 for us and we are expecting that she will see the ball a lot more this season and looking to double those kills. “For Katie Havis, this is her first year on varsity and we are expecting big things out of her. She put in a lot of work in the summer and wants to learn and to continue to learn. She has made it a goal to get quicker this season and be able to swing away with hitting the spots that she wants and when she wants to.” Senior Emily Roberts played middle hitter last year, but is transitioning back to setter, said Vorst. “This is a transition back because last season she played middle front for me, she has great head and is overall a great athlete. It just comes so natural to her, it wasn’t hard for her to step back into the setting role,” Vorst said. A third senior, Jasmine McNett, is expected to play a role in the Golden Bears’ passing game. “She is probably one of the best passer on the court. Every time she touches the ball I feel confident that she is going to get it up and make it to setter slot,” Vorst said.

Then you start getting to the underclassmen, many of whom are experienced but will be asked to step up to bigger roles. “We have a sophomore that has big shoes to fill this year with losing Chloe Morelock, Katie Havis is stepping in to the middle position for us this season and we are looking forward to seeing what she can do. She put in a lot of work this summer and it has paid off for her,” Vorst said. She has enough talent vying for top defensive positions, that the preseason was highlighted by a competition for starting positions. “Jasmine McNett, Sarah McCory and Mati Alejandro are going to be my defensive players this season,” Vorst said. “As of right now they are all competing for that libero position. “Jasmine, a senior this season, came to us last year from a different school and now she has a year under her belt in our program. I am excited to see what she can do this season. She is one of the best passers I have. Sarah and Mati are only sophomores and are both very, very quick to the ball. They both can read the ball better than anyone on the court.” Another senior, Karina Seems, could step in and bring a new dimension to the team. “Karina Seems is my most improved player this season,” Vorst said. “I believe that she has come a long way from last season where she played mostly JV. She comes into the gym every day wanting to get better and wants to know what she can improve on and how to make that certain skill better. She will be one of our DS and may get some setting time as well.” There are some younger athletes who could fill in key roles yet, too. “With having six seniors on the team this year it makes it difficult for the younger girls, but I believe that Bethany Roberts, who has been on varsity since she was a freshman, will shine this season,” Vorst said. “She is our opposite side hitter and worked very hard all off season to improve not only with hitting but also with defense and to be able to play all the way around. We also have Maddison Brauer, Brittney Miller, Grace Groweg, and Dakota Stacy.”

Toneff’s takes Gold Medals in South Africa Master Patrick Toneff, VII Degree Black Belt and owner and of Oregon-based Toneff’s Taekwon-Do, traveled with two of his students to Durban, South Africa, in the province of Krawzulu-Natal, to compete in the 11th Annual Global Taekwon-Do Federation World Championships. What Toneff and his competitors got was an eye-opening, world traveling experience. Bertha Horsley and her 14-yearold daughter, Clay High School freshman Carmen Horsley, brought home three world championship Gold Medals, one Silver and one Bronze. Bertha and Carmen both qualified to compete at the GTF world championship representing USA GTF against competitors from other nations around the world. The GTF world championship takes place every two years. “My students had been working hard to be ready for this big competition. This was their first world championship, although they had competed in international championships before, and I’m very proud of their achievements,” Toneff said. Carmen won her first Gold Medal and title of GTF Junior World Champion 2018 for individual patterns, which is a series of techniques that involves blocking, striking, and kicking and each technique has its own application. “I was very happy when I found I qualified for the worlds in South Africa and more excited to represent the USA,” Carmen said. Bertha brings home two Gold, one in individual patterns and the one in power breaking, which consists of breaking as many boards as possible by using a hand or foot technique. Bertha also won Silver for individual sparring, which is a two-minute bout for adults and 1½ minutes for under age participants. There is a center referee and four corner judges to score the fight. “I’m happy for the results we got. I’m so proud of my daughter. She is always working hard,” said Bertha. Both students also competed in team patterns, where they perform a pattern routine that is judged by synchronization, power, technique, timing and balance of the movements. They placed with a Bronze medal, competing with two higher ranking Russian teams, two from Kazakhstan, and one from South Africa. “It was a really good competition and I’m happy we got third place,” Carmen said. In addition to the competition, the trio found time to become tourists, too. “It’s a beautiful city — just beautiful watching the sunrise right there in the Indian Ocean,” Bertha said. “And the weather was perfect. Winter was almost ending there so the temperature was very pleasant for training and running. “We had time to visit the aquarium and to go on a safari to Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park — beautiful animals and country. We also visited the stadium where the 2010 FIFA World Cup was held and it was beautiful.” Toneff added, “Thank you to (host) Master Vladimir Grachev and all of the South African team for their warm welcome and hospitality. It was an amazing experience for everybody and listening to the national anthem were proud moments.”

Oak Harbor soothsayer has new challengers to fend off The Press Gridiron Soothsayers Week Press contributing writer Yaneek Smith easily won the 2017 Gridiron Soothsayer championship, finishing the season 120-28. Picking 80 percent of high school, college and professional football games correctly puts him in second place all-time among all soothsayers over 16 years. Press Sports Editor J. Patrick Eaken was at an 80 percent clip the very first year, and then-internet radio broadcaster Mark Reeves was over 81 percent one year, which is the all-time best. Smith went 15-1 the final week of the soothsayer season and he and GenoaBank President Marty Sutter were the only soothsayers to have perfect weeks last year. Smith is an Oak Harbor High School graduate, where he played football and he also helped coach football at Danbury High School. A graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, he has covered high school sports for multiple newspapers. This year, Smith and Sutter both return and they are joined by perennial soothsayer Alan Miller, owner of the well-known Oregon jewelry store that goes by his name. Joining them is now retired Press General Manager John Szozda, who still contributes as a writer with his award-winning Page 2 column. The rest of the soothsayer staff is new this year, but two are holdovers from a couple years back. From Toledo Sports Radio and Creative Video Imagery, and back from the dead, is broadcaster and television producer Mike Jameson. If you haven’t heard, Jameson was a player in last winter’s Cardinal Stritch alumni basketball game when he suffered a near-fatal heart attack, but was revived thanks to a defibrillator on site. Now armed with a pacemaker, the former Stritch basketball player returns to take on seven other soothsayers and televise Northern Buckeye Conference football games for internet broadcasting this fall. Then come the two wildcards — the duo of Tammy Walro and Yvonne ThomaPatton, who stand side-by-side in their quest to become the first woman to win a soothsayer championship, which dates back to 2002. Walro, the Press features editor, came one game shy two years ago,

Eagles seek fourth straight title behind seven lettermen By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com After reaching the Division III regional tournament last year, Eastwood volleyball will have to overcome the loss of 5-foot-10 outside hitter Katelyn Meyer, who will play for NCAA Division I Bowling Green State University this fall. Meyer goes to BG with experience as a four-time all-conference honoree and backto-back Northern Buckeye Conference and Ohio District 7 Player of the Year awards. Meyer helped her team post a 52-2 record over her final two seasons with the Eastwood program. Last year, Eastwood finished 26-1 and as a regional finalist came one game from reaching the state final four. The Eagles were a perfect 14-0 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. Eastwood lost to Coldwater in three straight sets of the regional final, 25-20, 25-22, 25-14. However, Meyer established a new school record book. She repeated as last year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year, an award she shared with Oak Harbor junior hitter Peyton Bloomer, who re-wrote her own record book. Meyer led Eastwood with 487 kills last year and she finished her career with 1,482 kills over four years on the varsity. She is No. 18 on the OHSAA volleyball all-time records board for most kills for a career. She also had 49 aces, 205 digs and 49 blocks her senior year. “She definitely left her legacy here,” 10th-year coach Jeff Beck said, “and she’s going to be hard to replace. Katelyn has made one of the most impressive marks on girls volleyball in Northwest Ohio that I have ever seen. I'm not sure what she has accomplished will ever be repeated.” This year, Eastwood will be seeking its fourth straight NBC title, plus the Eagles also won four straight league titles under Beck from 2009-12. This year, Beck says his team strengths are ball control, defense and an “amazing work ethic and attitude.” “We expect to continue our dedication and commitment to winning another league title in 2018,” Beck said. “Our league will be the strongest it has ever been with over five schools competing for a league title up until the last day. This year’s league is extremely balanced and will bring a lot of great competition.” Despite the loss of Meyer, for Beck, it’s just a matter of reloading with seven returning letter winners. They are senior libero Bailey Ramlow, junior setter Carlee Lepiarz, senior outside hitters Kyra Contris and Alissa Ray, senior middle hit-

Carleigh Coffield. (Press file photo by Lee Welch/FamilyPhotoGroup.com) ter Kara Spahn, junior middle hitter Ashley Hodulik and senior defensive specialist/ libero Carleigh Coffield. Ramlow was a first team All-NBC and second team District 7 selection after recording 212 digs. Contris was second team All-NBC and honorable mention District 7 after getting 131 kills. Coffield had 140 digs and 38 aces. Expecting to lead the offense this year are Ray, Contris, Spahn, Hodulik and Lepiarz, who will move to right side hitter. Top defensive players are Ramlow, Coffield, freshman DS/setter Anna Ramlow and freshman DS Paige Contris. Also seeing action as setters are Lepiarz and Ramlow. During his decade at Eastwood, Beck’s teams have gone 192-32. He was the coach at Perrysburg from 2004-07 and his Yellow Jackets went a combined 71-30, giving him an overall record of 263-62. His 2006 team reached the Division I state final four.
