Oregonians get to know judicial candidates By Katie Siebenaller Press Staff Writer katiesieb@presspublications.com The Oregon Republican Club held the first-ever Oregon Municipal Judge Candidate Forum Sept. 7 at the Oregon Municipal Complex. Club president Diana Skaff and secretary and treasurer Lynn Gibbs were pleased with the turnout, which included community members, current court staff, and family and supporters of each of the candidates. The club’s goal for the event was to help voters get informed and meet the four candidates for Oregon Municipal Judge ahead of the Nov. 7 election. Attorney Jeff Lydy served as moderator. “I think that you should all be very pleased – I think we have four very qualified people; Whoever wins the election, I think will probably do a great job for Oregon,” he said. The candidates – Scott Winckowski, Lou Kovacs, Anne Brossia and Clint Wasserman – were each given two minutes to answer questions which were pre-selected by the League of Women Voters of Ohio and given to candidates in advance. Questions included topics of knowledge, character and job effectiveness. Part of a city municipal judge’s job is management, including overseeing staff and budget. With cost always being a concern, the candidates were asked how they would reduce costs the court faces. Brossia believes converting to electronic record-keeping and utilizing spe-

A resolution asking the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to cease allowing the application of Class B biosolids on farmland in Lake Township has been approved by the township trustees. The trustees Tuesday unanimously approved the resolution, which states the sludge can run off from fields into creeks and rivers that drain into Lake Erie and exacerbate the lake’s algae problem. Also, the township’s urbanized areas have increased and “are not suited for the original agricultural intent of land application of the biosolids,” the resolution says. “It’s a state-regulated issue but it becomes a local government problem,” Mark Hummer, township administrator, said. The trustees were informed recently by the Ohio EPA that residue from the City of Toledo’s Bayview waste water treatment plant can be applied to a 73-acre field in the township. The field is located on the south side of Ayers Road, east of I-280. The OEPA said it considered the site’s soil type, distance from residences, ground water conditions and proximity to waterways and wells in making its decision to authorize the application of Class B biosolids. The OEPA defines biosolids, which are often reused as fertilizer, as treated solid, semi-solid or liquid residue generated during the treatment of domestic sewage. The biosolids may contain micro-organisms after treatment. Hummer reported to the trustees during their Aug. 1 meeting that a resident adjacent to the field had contacted him with concerns when the application started. The resident claimed he hadn’t been notified prior to the application starting. “He also had some questions about the field’s proximity to Ayers Creek,” Hummer said at the time.

cial online databases for law practitioners could help the court system save money. Kovacs proposed better management of civil cases; making sure they are handled quickly and not left open too long through better scheduling and creating tighter deadlines. Both Winckowski and Wasserman focused on the idea of cutting incarceration costs. Winckowski favors alternatives to jail, such as house arrest and work release programs as a means to cut spending. “The court is a service to the community; it’s not a business,” Wasserman said. “It doesn’t maximize profits that minimize expenses. It protects the community – it’s where the community can go to find justice.” When asked if they believed there’s such a thing as a “victimless” crime, Winckowski, Brossia and Wasserman all answered no. Kovacs, interpreting the question as

asking whether there is “a victim on the other side,” answered yes, giving drug abuse, possession of drugs, underage consumption, and prostitution, among other scenarios as examples. “Somewhere down the line, whether it be shoplifting, drug abuse, drug paraphernalia – somebody suffers, even if it’s not the defendant; somebody’s going to suffer,” Brossia countered. Hate crimes, free speech The candidates were also questioned about hate crimes and the challenge of balancing rights to free speech and controlling offensive activity. Hate crimes cases are typically heard in federal courts, but each candidate agreed that if speech or activities incite violence, speech must be censored. “There is no freedom of speech if the speech poses a danger to the community,” Kovacs said. Upon arrival, audience members could write a question for the candidates, which were read by Lydy after the first round of questions. One audience member asked candidates to address the opioid crisis that’s sweeping Ohio and the rest the nation. Kovacs discussed sentences a judge can carry out in cases of drug addiction, including probation and mandatory treatment for offenders. Having seen patients with drug addictions as a nurse, Brossia said she did not believe these drug offenders should be able Continued on page 2

Pemberville sending donations to Texas

Water research lab State Sen. Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green) and State Reps. Michael P. Sheehy (D-Oregon) and Michael Ashford (D-Toledo) applauded the opening of the Drinking Water Research Laboratory at University of Toledo’s College of Engineering to better test local public water safety. Gardner and Sheehy took part in the ribbon cutting last week. “New cutting-edge technology at the Drinking Water Research Laboratory will make it possible to immediately know whether any harmful toxins are in our region’s water supply,” said Sheehy. “This project is an example of taxpayer money helping to solve one of Ohio’s biggest problems: the safety of drinking water for our citizens.” Funding for the lab, which includes innovative tools such as a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry system and a flow cytometer that can measure cyanotoxins in water, was approved through a $500,000 appropriation included in the previous state budget. The lab will allow for better, more accurate water quality testing of local municipalities.

Winckowski spoke about the importance of educating children in the city’s schools, noting he believes the judge and judge’s office should have more communication with the schools. “By the time they get to the municipal court, there isn’t much we can do,” he said. “We can try to stop the people who are supplying the drugs. We can try to stop the people who are bringing the drugs here and giving it to them. But usually by the time it gets to us, the court, that person who has drug abused is so addicted that – I don’t want to say they’re a lost cause – but they’re on their way.” Confidence, bullying The candidates spoke about increasing community confidence in the Oregon Municipal Court.

“The important thing is that everyone that comes into this court feels that they’ve had an opportunity to be heard, and that justice rules along quickly,” Kovacs said. The role of politics and political affiliation in the judicial race was questioned. Though the position of judge is non-partisan, political parties can endorse candidates. Among the four candidates, Wasserman is the only one with a political affiliation; the Democratic Party endorses him. While the candidates were spilt about whether it is okay for a judicial candidate to be endorsed by a political party, it was

The Village of Pemberville, with the support of the community, organized a collection for items to be shipped to Galena, Texas to help flood victims affected by Hurricane Harvey. Galena is about 15 minutes from Houston. Area residents donated items from a list supplied by the Galena Park Church of God. A Pemberville resident donated a semi-truck full of water. Dei Fratelli, of Pemberville, is helping with trucks and warehouse storage. ProPak Industries, of Maumee, has donated Gaylords cardboard boxes that fit the pallets. The four Pemberville churches – Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Pemberville United Methodist, Pemberville United Presbyterian and Sonfire by the River – have served as collection points. Eastwood Schools has also helped with distribution of information. Items will be packed at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church parking lot on Saturday, Sept. 9 beginning at 9 a.m. Donations will be accepted through noon. At the request of Galena, no clothes will be collected. Only new socks and underwear still in the package will be accepted. Three large creeks in Galena all overflowed and flooded the area. Many of the families in Galena are displaced and will be living in hotels and FEMA trailers while they rebuild. Collected items will be delivered to Galena Park Church of God, Galena, Texas.

unanimous that personal or public political affiliations should not affect an individual when acting as a judge. Division also arose over the issue of the court’s role in preventing bullying through community outreach. Winckowski and Kovacs encouraged the idea of educating the community’s youth about the legal consequences that bullying can have. Wasserman added that elected officials need to be leaders and role models. Brossia suggested the issue of bullying is something that should be addressed by parents, teachers, and school administrators. Despite the number of serious and weighty topics being addressed, the forum took a lighter turn when an audience member asked candidates how they compared to a famous TV judge. Laughter burst out as Lydy read, “Which of you is most like Judge Judy?” Forum organizers expressed the hope that attendees left the forum having a better understanding of the candidates. “I think the community here in Oregon can be proud to say that these four people represent candidates for the judicial and Oregon Municipal bench. I think no matter who’s elected, Oregon will be proud of who is elected.” Winckowski said.

By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. is hosting a community open house event this Thursday at Waite High School so residents can learn more about the company’s planned Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) plant to be built in East Toledo. Cliff’s representatives will be present on September 14 from 6-8 p.m. to share information and answer questions about the project. The open house will be in the high school cafeteria. Guests should arrive at the Career Center entrance (Morrison Drive and Second Street). The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority announced in June that Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (NYSE: CLF) will locate its first hot briquetted iron (HBI) production plant at the Ironville Terminal in East Toledo. This project has the potential to create up to 130 permanent jobs, more than 1,200 construction jobs and represents a $700 million investment in the Toledo region. This project was made possible due to partnerships between the Port Authority, JobsOhio, Midwest Terminals of Toledo, City of Toledo, Lucas County, Regional Growth Partnership, and the Ohio Rail Development Commission. Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. is a leading mining and natural resources company. Founded in 1847, Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. is recognized as the largest and oldest independent iron ore mining company in the United States. The company is a major supplier of iron ore pellets to the North American steel industry from its mines and pellet plants located in Michigan and Minnesota. By 2020, Cliff’s expects to be the sole HBI producer in the Great Lakes region with the development of its first production plan in Toledo. “We are excited to add to the already substantial economic impact the Port of Toledo has on this region,” said Paul Toth, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority. “We acquired Ironville with the intention of locating a large-scale industrial user on the site who required marine and rail capabilities, and we truly feel this project is the perfect match for the remaining portion of the site.” Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., said, “(The June) announcement marks a very important strategic milestone for Cliffs as we begin to implement our plans to be the sole producer of high-quality HBI for the EAF steel market in the Great Lakes region. We look forward to the strong margin and earnings potential this new product will generate for Cliffs shareholders.” Goncalves added, “We thank Governor

John Kasich, JobsOhio and a number of local partners in the Toledo community for their efforts to help advance this project, including an offer of approximately $30 million in grants and other financial incentives. We will continue to work closely with the State of Ohio through the environmental permitting process, and are excited to bring a significant number of high-paying jobs to Ohio.” Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. will lease approximately 100 acres on the east side of the site from the terminal operator, Midwest Terminals of Toledo. Existing infrastructure and material handling capabilities on the site met the company’s requirements for its site selection process.

Construction on this project is expected to begin in early 2018, with the production of commercial tonnage of HBI beginning in mid-2020. Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. will receive more than two million tons of product, delivered by vessel, for the production of HBI, and has the potential to add 100 new vessel calls per year at the Port of Toledo. The finished product will ship from the facility via truck and rail. Cliffs also operates an iron ore mining complex in Western Australia.

Report: more than 105,000 clean energy jobs in Ohio By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The number of people now working in clean energy industries throughout Ohio is 105,443 people, a more than four percent increase since 2015, according to an analysis released today by Clean Energy Trust (CET) and the national nonpartisan business group Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2). Job growth across sectors including renewable energy generation, advanced grid, energy efficiency, clean fuels, and advanced transportation is occurring almost six times faster than overall job growth in the state. The analysis – available at www. CleanJobsMidwest.com – is based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data and a comprehensive survey of thousands of businesses across the region conducted by BW Research Partners. The Clean Jobs Midwest report provides detailed breakdowns of clean energy jobs – including job totals for every county, congressional district,

and state legislative district in the 12-state Midwest region of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. There are 599,775 clean energy jobs in the entire region. Ohio’s clean energy workforce employs more than 12 times as many people than all the computer programmers and web developers in the state, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “The Midwest has witnessed declining manufacturing employment over the years and this report highlights the important role of clean energy jobs in filling the gap for the region’s workforce,” said Erik G. Birkerts, CEO of Clean Energy Trust. “We’re optimistic that this growth engine can continue unabated as the Midwest continues to prove it is a fertile region for clean energy innovation, enabling businesses to launch, grow and create jobs.” “States are leading the clean energy revolution in America,” said Gail Parson, E2’s director of member and state engagement. “Late last year, Ohio reinstituted

their energy efficiency and clean energy standards after being frozen for two years. Hopefully, this will provide the certainty needed for Ohio to continue to add good paying clean energy jobs.” “The solar energy sector is an important and growing part of the Midwest’s economy, and like many other industries benefits from regulatory certainty and is harmed by uncertainty,” said Steve Peplin, CEO of Cleveland-based Talan Products. “Good, stable policies can provide more good jobs in Ohio and affordable solar energy for consumers.” The CET/E2 report includes clean energy sector comparisons for each state across the Midwest region. Energy efficiency continues to be the largest energy employer in Ohio, accounting for 81,606 jobs including hardware and software implementers, people working on high efficiency heating and cooling systems, and system technicians. For the state of Ohio, the report also found: • Almost 1 in 8 clean energy workers are employed in the advanced transpor-

tation industry. This includes hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles, alternative fuels vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. • There are 10,401 jobs in wind, solar, geothermal, bioenergy, and low-impact hydroelectric power. Ohio leads the Midwest with 8,718 solar jobs, but is eighth in the region in wind jobs with 1,297. • 47 percent of all clean energy jobs were in construction — 49,085 jobs. Manufacturing accounted for 30,157 more jobs — almost 29 percent of all clean energy jobs. • The clean fuels and advanced grid sectors employ 441 and 139 workers respectively. Ohio’s growth rate in advanced grid jobs was one of the lowest in the region. 2016 Department of Energy data shows that there are more than three million clean energy workers across the country. For a fact sheet outlining more specifics about the national clean energy jobs landscape, view E2’s fact sheet. The report includes an interactive map and profiles of Midwestern clean energy workers.

Heather Miller’s petitions for board re-election uncertified By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Lucas County Board of Elections certified two of three candidates seeking reelection to the Oregon school board. There were no challengers to the three seats currently held by School Board President Carol Ann Molnar, Michael Csehi, and Heather Miller, all of whom are seeking reelection. The Lucas County Board of Elections certified the petitions of Molnar and Csehi by the August deadline. It did not certify Miller’s because she did not follow the requirements and guidelines regarding the petitions, according to LaVera R. Scott, director of the board of elections. Candidates are required to sign a candidate statement and petition circulator

statement. The candidate statement includes naming the office for which they are running, the terms, and other details, explained Scott. All signatures on petitions must be witnessed by the petition circulator, an individual who asks voters to sign petitions. “The circulator statement also has to be signed. The circulator provides the number of signatures, that they had witnessed being signed,” said Scott, and submitted for verification. Miller, she added, should have signed the statement and provided the number of signatures, but did not. “So the board did not certify her petitions,” she said. Different rules Some communities, like the City of

Toledo, does not require candidates to provide the number of signatures they witnessed being signed on the petitions, she said. “The candidate only has to sign the statement,” said Scott Miller, who is vice president of the school board, sent a request to the board of elections to review her case at a special meeting on Monday, September 11, in hopes the petitions will be certified. “She’s on the agenda of the board meeting,” said Scott. “She’s requesting to address the board, basically. There is no `appeal’ for a petition. The facts of what actually occurred will come out at the meeting. The board will have counsel there, which we have at every board meeting. The Lucas County prosecutor’s office is our counsel. They will provide informa-

tion to the board as to what they can or cannot do legally in reference to her petitions.” History Scott said the board of elections has previously decided in favor of some candidates and then certified their petitions. “I’ve seen it go both ways,” she said. “Some people come in and say that they just forgot, or that they didn’t know it was necessary, and the board does not change its decision. I’ve also seen just recently where a candidate had put in a statement that there was some conflicting information, and the board allowed her to go on. But the board makes that determination with counsel,” said Scott. Miller did not return messages to The Press for comment.

Lake Twp.

Trustees ask for end to sludge application According to the OEPA site authorization letter, the field in Lake Township is owned by Becky Lumbrezer-Box and is primarily silty clay loam. The land application request was submitted to the OEPA by Synagro on behalf of the Bayview treatment plant. In December 2014, Synagro, a Baltimore-based company, announced it had an agreement with the City of Toledo for a five-year biosolids recycling program that would save the city $900,000 annually by avoiding landfilling costs. Under the agreement, Synargo said: • Toledo’s biosolids will be used as fertilizer on farm land, eliminating the need for more than 400 tons of chemical fertilizer. • The use of biosolids as fertilizer will reduce the potential for phosphorus runoff to waterways by 98 percent. • The program will be in compliance with Ohio’s environmental regulations. According to the website sludgefacts. org, some pathogenic bacteria and viruses can survive treatment processes used to produce biosolids (Class A and Class B); and many pathogens, such as salmonella

and staphylococcus, can re-grow to high levels in biosolids, which is mostly comprised of human feces. Other fields in the township have also been approved to receive biosolids from Toledo’s wastewater treatment plant, according to the OEPA website.

Solicitor asked to review parcel use By Press Staff Writer The Lake Township trustees have asked the township solicitor to review how a parcel along Woodville Road is being used by the owner of the Woodville Road Nursery to determine if a conditional use permit is required. Residents of Bailey Road have complained about odors and possible drainage issues at the parcel where Jim Mlynek, the nursery owner, has been storing large piles of leaves temporarily before transporting them across the road to the nursery to be processed into compost. Richard Welling, a township trustee,

“

As far as we know we are breaking no zoning laws.

“

Continued from front page

said Tuesday he’s asked solicitor Phil Dombey to research the matter. Welling said a section of the township zoning resolution may require a parcel owner to apply to the zoning board of appeals for a conditional use permit, depending on how the parcel in question is to be used. Mlynek purchased the parcel in January for use as what the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency calls a yard transfer facility. Last month, after the Bailey Road residents voiced their concerns to the trustees, he invited township officials to view his operations and Jeff Pettit, who chairs the board of trustees, Jamie Stanley, township zoning inspector, and Mark Hummer, township administrator,

accepted. Following the visit by the three, no citations or orders for changing the composting area or transfer yard were issued at the time. “As far as we know we are breaking no zoning laws,” Mlynek said Wednesday. “We are good stewards for the land and are good neighbors and have been for decades.” The Ohio EPA has inspected the site, he said. His business has been accepting leaves from Lake Township for more than 25 years. The cities of Northwood and Oregon have been bringing their leaves to his business in the past few years and villages of Walbridge and Millbury have also started to do so. As landfilling yard wastes became illegal, municipalities have looked for other ways to process them. Mlynek said he purchased the parcel across from his nursery yard to give him “some elbow room” as the requests from municipalities to accept their leaves increased. The township’s zoning board of appeals is an independent panel, Welling said, and has discretion when deciding whether or not to hear a permit case.

Wood County

Reappraisal reflects higher home values By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“

This is an important concept to understand because the reappraisal law is designed to equalize all values among taxpayers...

“

The Ohio Department of Taxation has approved reappraised Wood County residential property values for 2017, according to Michael Sibbersen, county auditor. On average, property values increased by 9.67 percent from the previous reappraisal six years earlier, he said. State law requires counties conduct a full reappraisal every six years and an update of values by neighborhood every three years. Sibbersen noted that Wood County had no net change for the 2014 triennial update after the department of taxation cited studies showing recent home sales were close to existing values from the 2011 reappraisal. Consequently, county-wide there has been no revision of values in six years, he said. Because properties are reviewed individually during the reappraisals, their

values are determined more by location, condition and desirability. However, an increase in valuation doesn’t translate into an automatic increase in property taxes, Sibbersen cautioned, due to the state legislature ensuring that approximately the same amount is collected each year on voted millage.

“This is an important concept to understand because the reappraisal law is designed to equalize all values among taxpayers, not to enhance revenue for taxing authorities. In other words, this is not a means of raising taxes or lowering taxes, it’s a re-balancing of the tax value burden among individual properties and classes,” Sibbersen said. In Wood County, however, there are seven school districts that have reached their state-guaranteed 20-mill floor for their operating budgets. With the increase in residential property values, the schools could exceed the millage floor to maintain the original voted tax dollars, resulting in an increase in tax revenues from the residential properties. The Eastwood, Elmwood, Lakota, McComb, Otsego, Patrick Henry, and Gibsonburg school systems are in this position to varying degrees, Sibbersen said. With tax levy requests on the November ballot, an estimation of the increase can’t yet be determined because the taxation de-

partment doesn’t release factored tax rates until local election results have been certified. Sibbersen said all Wood County property owners will realize a 2.95-mill increase in the tax rate due to the reinstatement of the Board of Development Disabilities levy that wasn’t collected in 2017 at the request of the county commissioners. The reappraisal also reflects on average no change in industrial property values and a 3.4 percent increase in commercial property. Farmland enrolled in the Current Agricultural Use Valuation program will see a decrease in valuation. Sibbersen said the reappraisal took 2 ½ years to complete and all 76,900 parcels were reviewed. Starting Sept. 1, owners may review their valuations in person at the auditor’s office during the week or by calling 1-866860-4140, ext. 9173. The new valuations will also be posted on the auditor’s website.

Phosphorus reduction plan to be discussed

“

The Maumee River drains about 6,568 square miles.

“

By Press Staff Writer Public meetings to discuss the state’s draft plan to reduce phosphorus from entering Lake Erie have been scheduled for Sept. 12 and 13. The Ohio Lake Erie Commission released the draft, which includes a goal of reducing phosphorus loading into the lake by 40 percent by 2025. The Sept. 12 meeting will be held at the Lake Erie Center, 6200 Bay Shore Rd., Oregon, and the Sept. 13 meeting will be at the Painesville Township Hall, 55 Nye Rd., Painesville. Both meetings will be from 7-9 p.m. New items the draft focuses on include: - Creating nutrient reduction targets

for sub-watersheds in the Maumee and Sandusky basins. - Creating an annual discharge limit of 1 milligram per liter of total phosphorus for each permitted facility. - Incorporating the Nutrient Mass Balance

Study - Funding and completing engineering and design work for potential in-water coastal wetland restoration projects in the lake’s western basin that can use dredged material and help to assimilate in-lake nutrients in the mouth of the Maumee River and for the Sandusky Bay. Agencies have completed the nutrient balance study for seven major watersheds in Ohio covering almost two-thirds of the state’s land area. The objective is to determine nutrient – nitrogen and phosphorus – loads and the proportions from the point and non-point sources. The study highlights the differences between the watersheds and focuses on how data collection can be refined in future

analyses. Point source pollution is defined as coming from a single place, such as a factory or sewage treatment plant. Runoff from urban and suburban areas is a major origin of non-point source pollution. The Maumee River drains about 6,568 square miles. While agricultural production dominates the watershed, land use shifts dramatically as the river enters the Toledo metropolitan area and agricultural production drops from about 80 percent to less than 50 percent. According to the study, the total phosphorus load from the Maumee River in 2013 (October – September) reached 2,295 metric tons. That dropped to 2,062 metric tons the following year.

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Make a Difference We should ask ourselves every day what we can do to make a positive change in the world. This doesn't mean that we have to do something earth-shattering or radical every day, but we should do what we can, remembering that more is expected of those to whom much is given. Sometimes a positive change can come from something as simple as a smile or a kind word, and other times it may require significant effort or risk. One way to bring about positive change is to be a good role model or a mentor. If you work as a teacher or in the creative arts, you have a tremendous power to change people's lives. But even if you simply work in some area where you

Oregon

interact with people regularly, you can have a tremendous impact, for good or ill. If you have bigger plans about how to make a positive change in the world, such as doing volunteer work or starting a charitable organization, get started immediately, rather than waiting until you feel ready. Chances are, you will never be absolutely ready or know everything you need to know in order to get started without a hitch. We learn best by jumping in and doing. So, don’t wait to change the world. Now is the time. “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” James 2: 26

Off course is just a detour... a new opportunity Imagine you are on vacation, driving your car toward your destination. Up ahead there is a sign indicating a detour due to road repairs. What do you do? Do you turn around and head back home because your route has changed? Do you park your car, get out, sit down and complain that you are a failure? Do you panic in fear that something you never planned on has happened? Of course you wouldn’t take any of the above actions. You would follow the detour without giving it a second thought. The only possible impact would be arriving later than you had expected. When traveling, detours are no more than minor annoyances. In fact, a detour ensures that you reach your destination. You often take detours voluntarily. You’ll change your route because of traffic or weather conditions. You will alter your travel plans when there is another destination of interest you wish to visit. You’ll stop to eat and sleep when on a long trip. A flat tire or mechanical problems require you to stop for repairs. You accept traveling as being subject to changes as needed. Although unexpected issues may be annoying, they are acknowledged as part of the process. You may complain about it, but you take the detours you are faced with. Just as a detour when traveling is not the end of your trip, a detour in life is not a dead end either. It is not a sign of failure.

Dare to Live by Bryan Golden A detour is an alternate route to your goal. A detour is taken in response to something blocking your intended path. A detour may also be taken in response to changes in your goals, needs, or desires. Lisa had a dream of becoming a teacher. She went to college immediately from high school. At the end of her junior year, she ran out of tuition money. Lisa was upset about being unable to return to college. This wasn’t what she had planned. Out of necessity, Lisa left college in order to take a full time job. She worked hard for several years, saving enough money to go back to college. Lisa was then able to complete her teaching degree. It took her many more years than she had planned, but Lisa took the detour necessary to achieve her goal. Adam lost his job as a chef when the restaurant he worked at closed. Adam loved his job which he had held for many years. He had been very comfortable in his position, having a great relationship with the customers and the other employees. Since he had a great reputation, Adam

was quickly hired at another establishment. However, one of the other chefs was jealous of Adam’s talent. This jealousy created an uncomfortable work environment for Adam. After only a year, Adam left for yet another job. This third job was a perfect fit for Adam. He was hired as the executive chef for a thriving restaurant. Adam’s new job was better than he could have imagined. Because of the detours he had to take, Adam found an opportunity he would have never otherwise discovered. Detours are invaluable in that they push you in new directions and expose new opportunities. Without detours, there is a tendency to get stuck in the comfort of repetitive routines. Being forced to take a new path provides an invaluable fresh perspective. Don’t stress the next time you encounter a detour. Take advantage of the detour as a way to learn, grow, and discover new opportunities. Utilize the inevitable detours to explore new paths and destinations.

T. Whitehead Recovery Center fundraiser set By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

In too many homes, the average schoolday morning can best be described as chaos. Parents shouting, homework missing, favorite clothes suddenly hiding and a hundred other calamities can add stress to the morning and too often mean rushing to make school on time. While there’s no way to guarantee that bedlam will suddenly turn into calm, peaceful, well-organized mornings, there are ways to help reduce that school-morning frustration, stress and anger. Start by letting the kids know you’re not happy with how you’re acting, rather than blaming it all on them. Tell them you want to change and get them involved by letting them see that you need their help to end early morning battles. Then give your kids more time responsibility. For younger children, with little concept of time, try a kitchen timer to help them finish breakfast and get dressed in a timely manner. For older kids, give them an alarm clock and let them choose the time they can wake up and still be ready for school without making everyone rush. Agree on a “nosnooze-alarm” rule. Set consequences. Discuss ahead of time on a favorite something they’ll give up if they dawdle over breakfast or don’t get up on time. But also agree to your own consequence if you fall back into morning nagging and yelling to get them moving. Some general changes can also speed things up. Turn off that morning TV. Whatever the show, it only slows things down. Instead, try background music, which actually helps some kids focus better. Get things more organized. Give the kids a designated place for backpacks and books, and make sure they’re in place before bedtime. Having kids lay out the next day’s clothes before bed avoids morning panic over that missing top or jeans. Make sure hats, mittens and shoes are also ready for the a.m. Try an in-box for papers that need to be signed, and as a place to put lunch money envelopes. Make your child responsible for putting the needed papers there after school, and for remembering them in the morning. If he forgets, let him face the consequences. Even with a good system, some mornings will still be a three-ring circus. But help your kids take part in getting organized and you’ll make most mornings more enjoyable. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

The T. Whitehead Recovery Center will hold its Second Annual TWRC Motorcycle Poker Run and Fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 9:30 a.m.-10 p.m. TWRC, formerly the Idle Time, has been a fixture in East Toledo since it was first opened by Tom Whitehead in 1973. Now managed by ARM, the Association of Recovering Motorcyclists, the recovery center and halfway home to men is a place where men and women with substance abuse disorders can meet on a regular basis to discuss their problems and support each other in their programs of recovery. Currently Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Heroin Anonymous meetings are held weekly to help combat alcoholism and the heroin and opiate epidemic that has gripped Toledo and Lucas County. According to Kevin Bellman, vice president, the recovery center has regained its 501(c)(3) status and has purchased the once abandoned four-unit apartment complex next door. They are working on writing several grants to help with the rehabilitation of the apartment building. “The apartment building is 80 percent gutted out,” Bellman said. “We received $15,000 from Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken, and we were able to put in new joists and floors. We are now hoping to get more grants in order to finish the building.” TWRC currently houses 20 men who pay rent and purchase their own food. Bellman said the plan is to be able to house 16 more residents. There is currently a waiting list for those seeking a place to live while regaining their sobriety and returning to society. The center works at trying to help the men get their GEDs (General Education Development) and if they need help getting Social Security Disability and SNAP Benefits, they will also help them apply for those. Money raised through the fundraiser and Poker Run will be used for programming, and the continued upkeep of the center. TWRC is located at 2044 Genesee St, in Toledo. Registration for the Poker Run will begin at 9:30 a.m. The cost is $25 per rider, and $15 per passenger. Participants will receive a T-shirt and a barbecue chicken dinner when returning from the run, which is scheduled 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Those not interested in the run can come to the center beginning at noon. There will be a BBQ chicken dinner available and a DJ spinning tunes. The event includes door prizes, 50/50 raffles

Computers, tablets, smart phones, e-readers, televisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; screens are hard to avoid, making digital eyestrain a common problem among screen users. Ninety percent of adults experience this problem, according to the Vision Council 2016 Eye Strain Report. Digital eyestrain, or computer vision syndrome, according to the American Optometric Association, refers to discomfort and vision problems caused by viewing digital screens for long periods of time. Symptoms include achy and dry eyes, among others. Sitting some distance from the television may be a good idea. One of the causes of digital eyestrain is improper viewing distances. But as technology has advanced, so has the understanding of its effects on health. In addition to digital eyestrain, screen users need to be aware of extra exposure to blue light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue light is what takes care of our circadian rhythm [the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biological clock] â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what wakes us up,â&#x20AC;? says Mary Nyitray, a licensed optician at Optical Arts Inc. in Toledo. Daytime blue light intake also boosts attention, reaction times, and mood and increases the feeling of wellbeing. Lack of natural blue light is why seasonal affective disorder (SAD) occurs in people most often during winter months when sun exposure is limited. Blue light can also have negative effects, especially when it is received in excess. Among these are eyestrain, retina damage, fatigue, migraines, obesity, and even behavioral problems in children.

one, their effectiveness is about the same. Unfortunately, although contacts offer some UV filtering, they do not protect against blue light and can actually worsen symptoms of eyestrain, like dry eye. Glasses with filtered lenses are recommended for those who spend their days working at a computer or other type of screen. To help protect users, many digital devices are now including built-in blue light filters that can be enabled with the click of a button or swipe of a finger. The feature on Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iPhones and iPads running iOS 9.3 or newer is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Night Shift.â&#x20AC;? The filter is also available on Macs starting with the macOS Sierra 10.12.4 update. Microsoft released â&#x20AC;&#x153;Night Lightâ&#x20AC;? as part of its Windows 10 Creator update for PCs. Other phones with built-in blue light filters include the Google Pixel and Samsungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Galaxy Note 7, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, among others. Various blue light filters are also available to download for free from the Google Play Store. Nyitray offers tips to decrease blue light exposure and eyestrain, in addition to having lens and device filters: â&#x20AC;˘ Follow the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away (or as far as possible) for 20 seconds, then completely close and open your eyes. This helps rehydrate the eyes since blinking happens less when they are trained on a screen. â&#x20AC;˘ Take those vitamins. If there is a family medical history of retinal degenerative diseases, taking vitamins that benefit the eyes is encouraged. Many of these are overthe-counter. Just be sure to check with your primary care physician first, as these vitamins may interfere with other medications. â&#x20AC;˘ Earlier shutdown. Make an effort to turn off all screens at least an hour before going to bed. This will help keep the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biological clock on track, and hopefully prevent tossing and turning. â&#x20AC;˘ No bright bedrooms. Try to keep compact fluorescent light bulbs out of the bedroom. If possible, do not use them as light sources in the bathroom either. Optical Arts Inc. is located at 2934 Central Ave., Toledo.

Get real about teal... The Ovarian Cancer Connection (OCC) is once again turning towns teal throughout Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan to create awareness of ovarian cancer and its symptoms, which are often subtle and easy for women to overlook. During the last week of August, OCC volunteers began tying teal ribbons – primarily in town centers – and providing local businesses with teal ribbon placards and information about ovarian cancer to place in their windows. The ribbons will remain in place for the entire month of September, which is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is often referred to the “silent cancer,” and there is no early detection test, which is why women need to be aware of the symptoms, according to OCC Executive Director Gini Steinke. Most women will experience bloating, abdominal pain, urinary frequency/ urgency or difficulty eating or feeling full quickly after eating a small amount of food. “If ovarian cancer is detected in the initial stages, the survival rate for is 90 to 95 percent which is why this awareness cam-

Ohio State study:

App improves concussion symptoms

“

The app rewrites things you might be frustrated about as a personal, heroic narrative.

“

Generally, after suffering a concussion, patients are encouraged to avoid reading, watching TV and using mobile devices to help their brains heal. But new research shows that teen-agers who used a mobile health app once a day in conjunction with medical care improved concussion symptoms and optimism more than with standard medical treatment alone. Researchers from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center collaborated on the study with Jane McGonigal of the Institute for the Future, who developed the mobile health app called SuperBetter after she suffered a concussion. Results of the study are published online in the journal “Brain Injury.” The 19 teens who participated in the study received standard of care for concussion symptoms that persisted beyond 3 weeks after the head injury, and the experimental group also used the SuperBetter app as a gamified symptoms journal. “We found that mobile apps incorporating social game mechanics and a heroic narrative can complement medical care to improve health among teenagers with unresolved concussion symptoms, said first author Lise Worthen-Chaudhari, a physical rehabilitation specialist who studies movement at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical

Center’s Neurological Institute. The American Academy of Neurology recommends limiting cognitive and physical effort and prohibiting sports involvement until a concussed individual is asymptomatic without using medication. However, this level of physical, cognitive and social inactivity represents a lifestyle change with its own risk factors, including social isolation, depression and increased incidence of suicidal ideology, the researchers noted. In addition, cognitive rest often involves limiting screen stimulation associated with popular modes of interpersonal interaction, such as text messaging and social networking on digital platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and multiplayer video gaming, thereby block-

ing common avenues for social connection. “Teens who’ve had a concussion are told not to use media or screens, and we wanted to test if it was possible for them to use screens just a little bit each day, and get the bang for the buck with that,” WorthenChaudhari said. “The app rewrites things you might be frustrated about as a personal, heroic narrative. So you might start out feeling ‘I’m frustrated. I can’t get rid of this headache,’ and then the app helps reframe that frustration to ‘I battled the headache bad guy today. And I feel good about that hard work’.” Concussion symptoms can include a variety of complaints, including headaches, confusion, depression, sleep disturbance, fatigue, irritability, agitation, anxiety, dizziness, difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly, sensitivity to light and noise, and impaired cognitive function. Within the SuperBetter app, symptoms were represented as bad guys such as headaches, dizziness or feeling confused, and medical recommendations were represented as power ups, including sleep, sunglasses or an academic concussion management plan. Participants invited allies to join their personal network in the app and they could view their in-app activity and could send resilience points, achievements, comments and personalized emails in response to activity.

Air conditioning project to be further reviewed By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com A special meeting of the Woodmore school board’s building and grounds committee has been scheduled for Thursday to review a nearly-complete project to replace the heating and air conditioning system at the high school. The committee is set to meet Sept. 14 at 4:30 p.m. in the high school lobby. Sam Preston, who chairs the committee, said a punch list for the project may be available for the committee in time for the meeting. The project began in 2014 and cost approximately $1.6 million. To pay for the initial phases, the board tapped the district’s permanent improvement fund However, other funding became available when the administration was able to use excess bond issue funds totaling about $184,500 that had been dormant. Voters approved the issue in 1987 to pay for new equipment and building renovations. The board and administration sought approval from the Sandusky County Budget Commission to use the funds on permanent improvement needs. Another $429,000 remaining from the local bond issue share of the construction of the PreK-8 building was also used for the HVAC project. Preston said the committee also decided to combine the final two project phases rather than completing it next summer, saving about $35,000. “The system at the high school is completely updated and we should be good for another 20 plus years,” he said. Using the excess bond issue funds eased the strain on the district’s permanent improvement fund, he said, adding the fund reserves may be used to help pay for new buses. Preston credited community members who volunteered their time and expertise with the committee for the project’s early completion. “We had a tremendous committee on this. We had a retired facilities manager for major industries; we had an engineer from Davis-Besse, an electrician and business manager, the talent and know how was incredible,” he said.

Fatal accident Investigators believe a Walbridge woman driving on State Route 795 Tuesday drifted into the median and then over-corrected, causing her vehicle to overturn several times. Jane Marie Bennett, 43, Walbridge, was ejected from her Ford Explorer and transported to St. Vincent’s Hospital where she was pronounced dead. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, she was eastbound in the passing lane of Route 795 about 11:02 a.m. in Lake Township when the accident occurred. The crash remains under investigation. The highway patrol said she wasn’t wearing a seat belt.

Oak Harbor Log Cabin Concert series called a success Summer is winding down and that means the end of the Oak Harbor Log Cabin Summer Concert Series. The 2017 concert series offered five concerts held on Sunday evenings on the lawn of the Log Cabin, located at Adolphus Kraemer Park in Oak Harbor. Listeners brought their lawn chairs and blankets to the park to enjoy the music. An added feature at each concert was the popcorn, served by the local Lions Club from a vintage popcorn stand. The stand was a popular summer attraction during the 1940’s when it was located at the corner of Locust and Water streets. The Lions Club refurbished the popcorn stand after it was donated to them by the grandson of the original owner. The 2017 concert series was supported by a grant from the Ottawa County Community Foundation. Community grants are awarded annually to support charitable programs designed to address current and emerging needs in the fields of education, the arts, social services, physical and mental health, safe and positive living environment, and natural resources.

Milkweed pod collection To help foster the creation of habitat for the monarch butterfly, Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative, in cooperation with Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Districts,

Ag Notes are organizing a Statewide Milkweed Pod Collection through Oct. 31. Only dry, fully-mature pods (greybrown in color and popping open) will be accepted. Milkweed is essential to the survival of monarch butterflies in Ohio. The monarch butterflies that hatch here in the summer migrate to Mexico for the winter and are responsible for starting the life cycle all over again in the spring. During September and October, everyone is encouraged to collect common milkweed pods from established plants and drop them off at the nearest pod collection station. The majority of Ohio counties have a Milkweed Pod Collection Station, most of them being located at the local Soil and Water Conservation District office. When collecting milkweed pods, wear appropriate clothing for the outdoors. It is recommended that disposable gloves be worn when picking and handling pods. Find info on local SWCD offices at www.agri.ohio.gov/divs/SWC/SearchLocal SWCD.aspx.

NBC opening week showdown pits Comets vs. Flyers By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa and Lake football teams are competing for the same goals — a league title, an undefeated season and a spot in the playoffs. Both started off on track, winning their first two non-league games. The Comets have beaten Scott (55-16) and Ottawa County rival Oak Harbor (3520) in this year’s Celestial Bowl contest, averaging 45 points while getting good play from the defense. The win over the Rockets saw Genoa execute on three big plays that went for touchdowns. Junior quarterback Jake Plantz hit Drew Bench for an 84-yard touchdown, Noah Edwards scored on a 79-yard run on the second play from scrimmage in the third quarter and later added a 41-yard punt return for a touchdown that pushed the lead to 35-14. Plantz finished 10-of-17 for 207 yards and a touchdown, Edwards rushed 16 times for 135 yards and Josiah Bradfield had two touchdown catches (25, 14). The win over the Bulldogs saw Edwards put on a brilliant performance as he carried the ball 19 times for 200 yards and five touchdowns — from 1, 18, 2, 6, and 1 yard. “Defensively, we have kids flying to the football for us. We’re playing real well defensively. Nobody has been able to drive the ball on us — that’s something our defense takes pride on,” said Genoa coach Paul Patterson. “After two games, offensively, we’re distributing the ball and having different kids make plays in different spots. We’ve had different kids catch touchdown passes. Noah has taken most of the carries on the ground, but we hope to spread the wealth a little more. “Our skilled athletes are making some plays between Jake Plantz coming out and throwing the ball a little more, Noah Edwards with his legs and Josiah and Drew catching the ball.” The Flyers have defeated Lakota (4912) and Lemoyne Road rival Northwood (35-13) in convincing fashion. In the win over the Rangers, Blake Osborn was a monster, carrying the ball 18 times for 149 yards and four touchdowns and Dawson Delventhal added 11 rushes for 96 yards. Against Lakota, Osborn put together an even more dominant performance, rushing for 175 yards on 23 carries while scoring six touchdowns. Delventhal is in his second year leading the offense. Last year, he had to start as a sophomore and had some growing pains, but this year he’s a little more familiar with calling the shots. “What (Coach) Mark (Emans) brought, with the athletes he has, he has gone with multiple formations like the shotgun and he’s had some good weapons. That makes (their offense) tough to defend,” said Patterson. “Dylan O’Quinn is tough to defend and they’ve got the running game and some nice weapons.” The Comets, like any team that runs the Wing-T, will look to take time off the clock and keep the Flyer offense off the field. Against Oak Harbor, Genoa had a number of big plays go for touchdowns, but the challenge this week might be in finding ways to sustain longer drives. “We’ve got to hang our hat on that. I

In this year's 35-20 Celestial Bowl win, Genoa senior running back Noah Edwards (16) tries to escape the grasp of Oak Harbor sophomore defensive back Jac Alexander (2), who is also the Rockets' quarterback. Looking on is Genoa junior tight end Nathan Lewis (84) and Oak Harbor senior defensive lineman Hunter Lacer (79). (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) think it is tough to grind out a drive, but the good teams have to be able to do that — take time off the clock and drive the field,” said Patterson. “You have to be disciplined in what you do and take care of your assignments.” Now in his fourth year coaching at Genoa, Patterson has a 22-12 record and has taken the Comets to the playoffs twice. Emans, who is in his fifth year coaching in Millbury, has led the Flyers to a 32-12 record, two playoff appearances and a Northern Buckeye Conference title as he’s lifted the program to new heights. The last three meetings between the two teams haven’t been very competitive as Genoa has won twice by a combined score of 53-14 while Lake’s win came via a blowout, 55-0. But they were important games

Clay dedicates Charles Neal Press Box Friday night Oregon City Schools dedicated the new Charles Neal Press Box on Friday at the Waite vs. Clay football game. The press box is named after Charles Neal, “a beloved and very special former clay band director,” states an Oregon Schools press release. Neal and his family were in attendance for the dedication, which included an unveiling of signage at halftime. Donors, special guests and school personnel were also recognized for their contribution. The capacity of the new press box is 50 people. The Oregon Schools Foundation oversaw fundraising to build the new press box and observation desk at Clay Memorial Stadium. The original cost to build the press box was estimated at $160,000. The foundation received a commitment of $40,000 from Mathews Ford, to be distributed over a period of years and another $10,000 from Oregon-based Tesco Transportation Equipment Co. In addition, East Toledo-based Nordmann Roofing Co., Inc., committed to providing in-kind construction of the roof, which was not specified to any dollar amount. Band boosters were also fundraising, commiting originally to raise an additional $50,000. The district says that “through the collective efforts of school personnel and donors, the new press box construction was 95 percent funded through private donations. The new press box will provide our coaching staffs and game workers extended room and comfort to coach and manage each athletic contest which occurs at Clay Memorial Stadium. In addition to game management, the press box will be utilized by various community members and special guests providing a very special viewing experience. “This project is an example of the community coming together for their school. Oregon City Schools and Clay High School are proud of its traditions and even more proud of its historic stadium. This new press box addition makes our stadium one of the best local venues to watch a sporting event.” Superintendent Hal Gregory added, “I am so proud to be a part of a project which brings private businesses, community leaders, school personnel, students and parents together for a common goal. This project means a lot to many people and for that we are forever grateful to those who made this project a reality.” The new press box is not the only improvement at the stadium — last year, before the season began, construction was completed on installing artificial turf on the playing surface, Ted Federici Field. Clay became the last of eight schools in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference to install artificial turf, which was dedicated on August 26, 2016. Maumee Bay Turf Center donated $250,000, much of it in-kind construction and installation costs, and the athletic boosters came up with another $50,000. The balance of the cost of the project was expect-

Clere scores first collegiate goal University of Findlay 5-foot-7 freshman forward Karleigh Clere (Clay) got her first collegiate goal as the women’s soccer team defeated the University of Southern Indiana 5-2 on Saturday, September 2. With the win, the Oilers improved to 1-1 on the season while the Screaming Eagles fell to 1-1. It is the first time since a September 23rd, 2012 victory against Ohio Dominican that the Oilers have scored five goals in a match. Clere scored in the second half on an assist from five foot tall senior midfielder Jensen Kleis (New Carlisle Northwestern). Kleis broke the school record with her four assists in the match. She passed Ali Weising and Janna McKinley, who each recorded three assists against Concord in 1997 and 1999, respectively. The Oilers were back on the pitch Wednesday, September 6, when they traveled to Ohio Dominican for their first Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) contest. Also on the team is 5-1 junior midfielder Karis Dewalt (Oak Harbor).

To defend co-title, Cardinals must keep getting better By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Cardinal Stritch volleyball coach Angela Hierholzer is banking on her team making incremental improvement as the season progresses. “We’ve been practicing a lot in our hitting,” she said, “and we’ve gotten tremendously better from our first match.” The Cardinals lost three of their first four matches this season before handing Danbury a 25-18, 25-20, 27-25 defeat on Tuesday. Stritch opened with a loss to Maumee, a Division II program, then lost to Evergreen and McComb, which made the Division IV state final four last season. The Cardinals, who split last year’s Toledo Area Athletic Conference championship with Toledo Christian, have also beaten Emmanuel Christian this season. “We have a dominant front-row team,” Hierholzer said. “All six of my (varsity) players play front row and I have a libero. We lost eight seniors and we are predominantly a front row playing team. That’s probably the spot we need the most work on, especially our blocking. Our libero does a great job in the back row picking up all the hits and serve receive.” The Cardinals have to make up for the graduation of last year’s TAAC Player of the Year, libero Cassidy Wlodarz, who is now playing at Owens Community College. Sophomore Hope Yost is the libero this season and is a team captain along with senior setter Angela Dunnigan. “Our setter is doing a great job this year, being the only setter who plays,” Hierholzer said. “We’re working a lot at practice on getting her sets to be consistent. She does a great job leading the team as a setter. She’s talking to the girls before every play, telling them how they’re going to get the next point. She’s a senior and the girls look up to her.” Yost played libero on the jayvee team last year and also dressed for the varsity squad as a freshman. “She is a great leader and she’s been working really hard to fill that libero position this year,” Hierholzer said. “She’s do-

ing a great job. She never stops talking in the back row and she’s very encouraging to the players. The girls voted for the captains and every single person wrote her name down.” Outside hitter Erika Berg and middle hitter Alivia Podbielniak are the team’s other two seniors. Berg ran cross country last season after playing volleyball as a freshman and sophomore. “It’s taking her some time to get adjusted to the speed of the varsity and getting back in the swing of things,” Hierholzer said. “She’s doing pretty well adjusting.” At 5-foot-9, Podbielniak is the Cardinals’ tallest player. “Alivia and Angela Dunnigan have been on the same team since they’ve played volleyball,” Hierholzer said. “Angela has always been Alivia’s setter. I guess you could say they’re my dynamic duo. Liv does a great job in the middle. She runs the quick sets real nice and has improved in that dramatically this year.” The other two starters are junior middle hitter Carlee Burgard and junior outside hitter Kaylie Arnold. Burgard played outside hitter her first two years on the team. “Moving to the middle this year was a bit of a transition,” Hierholzer said. “I think she’s really thriving in the middle, compared to outside. She stepped in and really surprised us. Alivia got hurt over the summer and we moved Carlee there and it worked out really well, so there she stayed.” Arnold is the only returning starter from a year ago and boasts a lot of power, according to Hierholzer. Arnold had a team-high 42 kills through four matches this season. “She is a great outside hitter,” the coach said. “She’s very smart and she can jump pretty well. She has the highest vertical on the team. She’s also a great server.” Hierholzer said the Cardinals’ No. 1 goal is to repeat as TAAC champions. “Toledo Christian is usually pretty good, and they are our main competitors in the TAAC,” she said. “We’re taking things one game at a time this season. Hopefully, when that first TC match comes around, it’s a good match and we are ready to go.”

Bloomer, Harris have Rockets riding high By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A rebuilding process that has been in full swing for years is finally seeing its efforts rewarded in earnest. The Oak Harbor volleyball program is riding high this season with an 8-0 record — a run that also includes no set losses and a resounding victory over perennial power Huron, who has dominated the Sandusky Bay Conference for years and won four state championships. The work of a special group of players is finally coming to fruition as juniors Peyton Bloomer and Logan Harris lead a unit that’s playing at a very high level. As impressive as the Rockets have been, a quick look at their depth chart illustrates just how talented and athletic they are. In addition to Bloomer and Harris, a multitude of players have contributed like the four seniors (Abby Dornbusch, Ashley Riley, Rachel Rayburn, and Chloe Shanteau), three other juniors (Kaytlynn Sandwisch, Peyton Bloomer, Alaina Hetrick, and Jill Thorbahn) and Olivia Rahm, the lone sophomore. Oak Harbor is coming off a season that saw them finish fourth in the conference and win its first sectional title in 21 years. The win over the Tigers was the first in 15 years and gives the Rockets, who were picked to finish second, a 2-0 record in the SBC’s Bay Division. When it comes to statistics, there is an incredible balance with regard to the contributions made by a bevy of players. Bloomer leads with 155 kills, followed by Riley (47), Dornbusch (39) and Harris. Bloomer has a remarkable kill percentage of 56.8. When it comes to blocks, Bloomer leads the way with 27, followed by Rayburn (15) and Harris (10). Riley has 90 digs, with Bloomer (78) close behind and Dornbusch (65) and Sandwisch (63) also contributing. “They’ve bought in to what it takes,” said Gezo. “The Oak Harbor volleyball program is getting noticed. People look at the program differently.” That was evident in the win over Huron

Oak Harbor senior volleyball players, from left to right are Abby Dornbusch, Rachel Rayburn, Ashley Riley, Chloe Shanteau — all previous letterwinners. (25-23, 25-15, 25-23), which saw a number of dramatic sequences play itself out as the Rockets found a way to edge the Tigers by a slim margin. Trailing, 21-20, in the third set, consecutive kills by Harris and Riley gave Oak Harbor the lead for good. In addition to the win over Huron, the Rockets have also beaten Vermilion, Clyde, Genoa, Rossford, Old Fort, New Riegel and Mansfield Madison. One of the reasons for the club’s success has to do with the fact that the team played together during the offseason and got acclimated to one another’s habits. “I knew we were (picked to finish) higher in the SBC this year. Beating Huron was one of our goals,” said Bloomer, whose sister, Ally, helped to rebuild the program in the past with the likes of Emma Bergman and Faith Konieczny. “I think we played with the confidence (to beat them). I think starting off strong has boosted our confidence. From the summer scrimmages, our confidence has been growing.” “I think our success has to do with the fact that we’re friends off the court. That adds to it,” Bloomer added. “We’ve also

been playing together for two years.” Gezo, who is in her third year as the helm, has had every job imaginable within the program, coaching both junior high teams, the freshman, junior varsity and was also a varsity assistant under Megan Maguire, who worked hard to rebuild the program during her tenure. Gezo actually coached these juniors and seniors when they were at the middle school. “It’s been fun watching them grow. It’s like a family,” Gezo said. “We’re looking forward to a great season, but we still have things to work on. It’s going to be a fun season. “We have athletic kids. Ashley is an All-Ohio pitcher, Logan is All-Ohio in basketball and Abby has qualified for state in track (on relay teams),” said Oak Harbor coach Jackie Gezo. “Peyton placed at state in the high jump and Olivia Rahm is a great athlete.” The 5-11 Bloomer finished 10th in the high jump at the Division II state track meet last year with a leap of five feet, two inches. She also won the SBC title in the event and was a district and regional runner-up.

One dozen juniors, seniors getting job done for Bears By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com More than 12 senior and junior boys are roaming the halls of Gibsonburg High School this fall. That, however, is the total number of seniors (6) and juniors (6) on Gibsonburg’s 30-man football roster. “I’m not surprised more people didn’t come out,” senior receiver/outside linebacker Jaret Harrison said. “Some of them, it’s just not their sport.” The Golden Bears are off to a 2-0 start this season, with a 41-0 win over Elmwood in the opener and last week’s 18-17 comefrom-behind win over Lakota. Harrison and the other seniors have been in a program that has gone 27-3 in the regular season and played in the postseason twice in the past three years. Gibsonburg won the Toledo Area Athletic Conference title outright in 2015 and shared the title with Montpelier last season. Five seniors and five juniors start for the Bears, a Division VI program. “We’ve been successful the last couple years,” said Gibsonburg coach Steve Reser, in his eighth season. “These kids have been a part of it and they know what’s expected. We were lucky enough to have some great seniors the last few years. “Our seniors and juniors have come together as a unit, almost like they’re on the same level. There is no division between the seniors and juniors. They hang out together and they’re mature enough to know the goal.” It helps having a group of players who will sacrifice for the team. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Harrison played outside linebacker as a freshman and sophomore, but he was moved to cornerback last season. “Last year we needed to fill a position, so I played corner,” Harrison said. “This year they brought me back to linebacker, but playing corner was fun and I enjoyed it. It was something I had to adapt to, but we got it done.” Harrison said this year’s juniors and seniors “hang out all the time” off the field. They go to Frickers, he said, or to a teammate’s house just to be together. Harrison added that the entire team, including the freshmen and sophomores, all get along. “Going into the season, I had faith that all of the seniors would work hard and we want to win,” Harrison said. “We lost a lot of good seniors last season and a lot of

Gibsonburg junior Brad Mendoza stutter-steps in the Golden Bears' 41-0 win over Elmwood. (Photo by Jeff Holcomb) people doubted us because we don’t have those ‘star players.’ This year we are a lot more disciplined in practice and we’re getting our stuff together.” Harrison was a special teams player for the Bears when they finished 10-0 two years ago. He said being close to your teammates is a huge key to being successful. “Being friends off the field helps you trust that your teammates are going to do their job and they have your back,” Harrison said. “That’s a really big part of everyone being close on the team. Our senior and junior class has a big group chat and we decided we were all going to bond. A lot of us were friends before football season.” Reser pointed out that previous Gibsonburg teams have set the bar so high that it’s difficult for younger players to ignore. The juniors and seniors have been

through the system for a couple years, so they know what is expected. “We have some sophomores who can play football,” Reser said. “We have 10 freshmen, but maybe they are not physically and mentally ready to get out there on a Friday against a senior. The juniors and seniors have understood how we have to practice. There have been years where you have 40 players and you can be really competitive in practice. Our guys are doing a great job with mental maturity, understanding that you don’t necessarily have to tackle in practice. I love what they’ve been doing so far.” Smaller programs don’t have the luxury of being able to overcome injuries to key players. Reser said his first team at Gibsonburg had between 24-28 players, and subsequent rosters have averaged around 32-40 athletes. The Bears’ roster shrunk

to 29 players last Friday when sophomore lineman Jake Foster suffered a dislocated elbow and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, according to Reser. The Golden Bears showed their mettle against Lakota, when they trailed 17-0 in the second quarter and 17-6 at halftime. Junior Addison Weaver had an interception to set up a touchdown in the third quarter, and Lakota missed a field goal attempt with 25 seconds left as Gibsonburg held on for the win. “We have six seniors and six juniors and that’s how many leaders we have,” Reser said. “It’s a blue-collar group and I love what they’re doing. I enjoy their work ethic and I love how aggressive they are on the field. A lot of times they can’t be as aggressive in practice, but on Fridays they’re going full-go and I love the way they’re going after the football.”
