Kelley Wills fills city council seat

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Northwood City Council recently chose Kelley Wills to fill the council seat vacated by veteran Councilwoman Connie Hughes, who resigned on Aug. 1 for personal reasons.

Wills, of Glenross Place, has taught government at Northwood High School for 20 years.

“I always had an interest in government and public service,” Wills told The Press last week.

“When I saw there was an opening on council, I decided to put my hat into the ring,” she said. “They don’t have a female voice. And I’m interested in what’s happening in the city.”

Wills has lived in Northwood for 12 years. She moved from Millbury, where she

was born and raised.

Candidates City Administrator Bob Anderson said Hughes had moved recently from Northwood to Walbridge, which caused her to resign since it is required for elected officials to be residents in the community where they serve.

“Once she signed the lease, she had to resign,” said Anderson. “There’s nothing bad, she has her health. She just moved.

She really wanted to stay on council. She couldn’t find any place in Northwood.”

The city placed an ad in the newspaper looking for Hughes’ replacement. There were a total of five candidates interested in the seat, said Anderson. Besides Wills, former Mayor Mark Stoner was among those who responded to the ad. Stoner had com-

While serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Larry Hohenbrink was all over the Pacific, but says there was no greater thrill then when the Japanese surrendered.

Hohenbrink, now 91, was serving aboard the USS Bracken (Amphibious Personnel Assault-64), a Gilliamclass attack transport, when the announcement came.

“I was walking by the No. 2 hatch, and the captain announced the war is over and the Japanese surrendered,” Hohenbrink recalled. “I got right on my knees, made the sign of the cross and said a couple beads of the Rosary.

“You know, my father gave me a Rosary when I went in, and that’s the one (displaying the Rosary), and I’ve never had it out of my right hand pocket. The crucifix is broken, Jesus is gone and one of the beads is gone, but I had it every time. At times, it would get tough, but I had it right in my hand, you know.”

Larry and his wife Catharine have been living at the Genoa Retirement Village for the past 10 years, but he still carries the Rosary in his pocket — every second of every day.

However, the USS Bracken’s crew will go down in history for being the last to see the USS Indianapolis before a Japanese submarine torpedoed it during the final days of WWII. “When we passed, a couple football fields away, they looked about that big (pinching his fingers), but you stayed on the side rails and you waved and what-not.

Ships pass right to right, starboard to starboard, backwards from driving a car, and they looked about that tall,” Hohenbrink said. “Just three hours later, it was sunk by the Japanese.

“The Indianapolis took the big atomic bomb from the United States over to Tinian (Mariana Islands). Then, a bomber took off and bombed Hiroshima. Then, she was Continued on page 2

Wills Continued from front page pleted four terms as mayor before he decided not to run for re-election in 2015.

Other candidates that had expressed an interest in Hughes’ seat include Tim Schmidlin, who is a member of the board of zoning appeals, Patrick Huntermark, and Clara E. Intagliana, who was acting city council clerk for a few months in Northwood before the position was filled permanently by current clerk Kelley Amstutz.

Anderson said he had assumed council would be voting for Stoner, since he was a popular mayor and had served on city council for years before being elected mayor. “But council voted for Wills on Aug. 30, the following council meeting that was scheduled after Connie resigned,� said Anderson.

Unexpected “I’m very excited,� Wills said of filling the seat. “It was an unexpected appointment. When I was selected, I was really honored they would choose me out of all the candidates.�

Wills is one of five candidates running for four seats on council in the November election. She is running as a write-in candidate.

Other candidates include City Councilmen Louis Fahrbach, of W. Andrus Road, and Randy Kozina, of Eden East Drive, who are running for re-election. Councilman Keith Dempsey is unable to run for re-election because he did not submit his petitions to the Wood County Board of Elections by the deadline. Also running are Stoner, of Ross Street, and Huntermark, of Skagway Drive, who ran unsuccessfully for council in 2015.

While on council, Wills hopes to provide input on issues regarding the local economy and an expansion of recreation programs. “A park system is a huge asset to a community. People are becoming more active,� said Wills, who is also a cross country coach.

She supports a pro-active approach to the economy, she added. “We have to see some economic growth and draw people into the city.

If you bring people in, businesses will follow,� said Wills, the mother of an 18-year-old son and 19-year-old son.

Among last to see USS Indianapolis Continued from front page going back to the Philippines, and all of a sudden the captain of our ship said, ‘The war is over,’ and we had never heard of an atomic bomb. Did not even know what an atomic bomb was. “Then, it was afterward that they said the ship we passed last night was the Indianapolis and it was sunk, and our ship was the last one to see it.�

As the Indianapolis sunk, hundreds of sailors were lost and never recovered before help came. The incident has Hohenbrink believing the Japanese were more aware of what was going on than has been reported. “I think the Japanese knew that the Indianapolis had that bomb, and they didn’t hear about the bombing yet. It just worked out well,� Hohenbrink said. “And, why didn’t they sink us? Weren’t we big enough? They were waiting for the Indianapolis.�

The end result shocked Hohenbrink and his 400 or so crewmates. “They dropped that, and the newspapers came out with it, and we said, what does ‘atomic’ mean? What is that?� he continued. “I don’t know how we ever won it, first of all. Just the transportation of troops and people and stuff — just think, how in the heck did we do it? It was fantastic.�

Hohenbrink is known by his friends locally as the former owner of Blackberry Corners restaurant from 1963-75. He says his father, a former A&P manager, had started the business as a grocery store, and then he purchased it years later after learning the commercial food business working as an auditor for the Kroger chain for 3½ years. He also served as commander of the Clay Center VFW for two years.

Football, then WWII Hohenbrink wants people to know that “he’s not just blowing his horn,� but with WWII veterans passing away at a rate averaging 362 per day, most will say that getting his story out is important.

He and his buddies, who played football for Oak Harbor High School, enlisted as soon as they were eligible. Hohenbrink was 17 and says his parents had to sign off on his enlistment. “Three of us went in right after football. It was December and football ends in November, and we were all in pretty good shape,� Hohenbrink said. “We played football our senior year, and we left right after football. They said if we went in we’d get our diploma, and we said goodbye.�

Between October 1944 and March 1945, the Bracken operated off the coast of southern California as a training ship for the crews of 22 subsequent ships of her class. Hohenbrink said training for him and his mates was quick, and not easy. “The day we got on the ship we just got finished with all this schooling down in San Diego and Coronado, and then we were assigned to the ship,� Hohenbrink said. “We got there and there were lines all over the deck. It was raining and foggy,

Then, a couple days later, we took off. “We were practicing — always practicing — in San Diego, and we got to the Marine Corps base in Pendleton and we used their beach for about two weeks.

Then, we used rubber boats — we took six men in the boats and you would get knocked over when you got close to shore.

Then, you’re over and the boat is on top of you and you’re fighting to get air. I was glad I was 17-years-old. I couldn’t have done it otherwise. Then, you did two weeks of that horse crap.�

15-feet jump took its toll Hohenbrink’s experience left him with a service-connected disability, in part because he had to jump from the Bracken into the landing craft. He has had countless operations at VA Centers in Ann Arbor, Cleveland and Buffalo, mostly on fused vertebrae. “We had to jump into the landing craft

and if you’d jump five or six feet — that would be nothing. But the wave would go down, and now it’s a 15-foot drop, and you’re in midair. You aren’t going anyplace but down. Then, you come up and it hits you, so that’s how my back got all screwed up and it got worse and worse. I had a heck of a time walking,� Hohenbrink said.

Hohenbrink was a motor machinist’s mate, or mechanic, in laymen’s terms, even though he claims to have not known anything about motor engines before he enlisted.

But he learned how to care for the Bracken’s diesel engines, and the Bracken spent most of the war delivering troops, unloading from LCVPs (landing craft, vehicle, personnel). The LCVPs were often called the Higgins boat after lumberman Andrew Jackson Higgins, who originally came up with an amphibious boat design for Louisiana trappers and oil drillers.

Between 1942 and 1945 more than 23,000 LCVPs were built, seeing use on every front from Sicily to Normandy, Guadalcanal to Okinawa, and landing more troops than all other craft combined.

Indian Summer at the Grove set

Knights of Columbus present defibrillator

The Morrison R. Waite High School Alumni Association will hold “Indian Summer at the Grove” for all alumni 21 and older on Saturday, Sept.

30 from 6-11 p.m. at Oak Shade Grove, 3624 Seaman Rd., Oregon.

Admission is $15 per person, payable at the gate. Beer, soft drinks and snacks will be provided. A cash bar for wine and mixed drinks will be available. Dance to DJ music.

Shelter will be provided, if necessary, at the casual outdoor event. For info, contact david.yenrick@gmail. com or tjscarbor@gmail.com or call 419-262-6331.

The Knights of Columbus were at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School and Academy Monday night to present the school with a new automated external defibrillator (AED) for use within the athletic department.

The AED was purchased by the Knights of Columbus through the Oregon Fire Department. The AED was presented to the school during halftime of the girls’ soccer home game vs. Ottawa Hills. The AED was donated by the Msgr. Robert J. Yates Knights of Columbus 4th Degree Assembly No. 2800. The K of C is located in Perrysburg and covers many of the Knights of Columbus councils located in Oregon, Walbridge, Perrysburg, Rossford, Maumee and Bowling Green.

Grant F. Grisier, director of marketing and communications at Stritch, said that head varsity girls soccer coach Dan Roggelin, a Knights of Columbus member, spearheaded the effort.

...they felt that this was a great need...

Roggelin added, “As a member of the assembly leadership and as a coach at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School, I felt that when Lindsey’s Law was rolled out this year that there was a need to have an AED close to the athletic fields.

“I am a retired firefighter and EMT from the Oregon Fire Department and an American Heart Association CPR/AED Instructor. I contacted the Oregon Fire Department Chief Paul Mullin and he got me with Assistant Chief Mark Mullins, who was instrumental in the Knights being able to afford the donation of the AED to Cardinal Stritch High School and Academy,” Roggelin continued.

“I talked to the Assembly members and officers and they felt that this was a great need that we could help with. We worked with the Oregon Fire Department to purchase the AED and an alarmed cabinet to store it in.”

New police training facility OK’d

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday approved the $528,500 bid of Hank’s Plumbing & Heating Company, Toledo, which will fund labor and materials to complete a new police training facility.

“We had the need for a new police range due to the improvements that were made to the wastewater treatment plant and its disruption of the old range,” said Mayor Mike Seferian.

The cost was included in the 2017 budget to provide the new building and range for the Police Division.

Six bids were received and opened on Aug. 31. Besides the bid of Hank’s Plumbing & Heating, other bids include $513,000 from Comte Construction Co.; $591,777 from Cross Renovation; $568,200 from Spieker Company; $635,000 from the Delventhal Co.; and $681,242 from Rudolph Libbe.

Scaled back “We discussed this in our budget hearings last fall prior to the beginning of 2017,” Police Chief Mike Navarre said to council. “You were kind enough to appropriate $350,000 for that purpose – for constructing a new range building and training facility.

We put together a project that we thought would come in pretty close to what we had budgeted. It went out for bid earlier in the year, and the bids came back a lot higher

“

...we haven’t had the problems other communities have had.

“

GenoaBank is observing its 115th year in business this month, Martin Sutter, president and chief executive officer, said.

Founded in September 1902, the bank left its original building decades ago, but is still headquartered in Genoa at 801 Main Street.

Today, the community bank also operates from seven additional locations, opening branches in Millbury in 1973, in Oregon in 1988, Maumee in 1999, Elmore in 1999, Perrysburg/Rossford in 2004, Sylvania in 2014 and Port Clinton/Catawba in 2015.

Sutter said the bank remains focused on customers’ needs.

“We pay personal attention to their particular needs and at GenoaBank people still have names and faces. We enjoy seeing people who come in every day and shaking their hands,” he said. “We have become a trusted partner to generations of families and businesses, providing personalized service and local decision-making. Local dollars in the form of deposits is money that can be put back into the community we serve.”

The bank has assets of about $326 million.

than what we had anticipated. So we got together and scaled back the project. We tried to figure out why the bids were so much higher.”

Navarre attributed the higher costs to what he read recently in a newspaper article that noted there was an “abundance of construction and a shortage of qualified construction workers” in northwest Ohio.

“I think that had a major impact on not only the first bid but the second bid. But we scaled back considerably,” said Navarre.

“We took out some components and bid those as alternates. And it went out for bid again. When we opened the bids, we had six companies that bid on it. The lowest bid was Comte Construction, and we felt pretty comfortable.”

He said he had met with City Administrator Mike Beazley and Public Service Director Paul Roman to discuss Comte’s bid, which totaled $530,000 after an alternate $17,000 bid for concrete was added.

Shooter incidents “At the time we discussed this in our budget, it’s still more than I thought was needed to achieve this objective,” said Beazley. But he said the facility is for training police to deal with shooter incidents, which “is a more complex and more expensive process than it was even five years ago.”

“Oregon is blessed with having excellent training with our police department,” Beazley added. “Some of it’s luck, but a lot of it is training, good talent and good leadership that we haven’t had the problems other communities have had. Having an appropriate facility is really part of that. I was a little `sticker shocky’ over this from the beginning. But it was the right thing to do.

We do have sufficient dollars in our capital fund to achieve it.”

day, Comte withdrew its bid. Apparently, there was an oversight on their part. The next lowest bid was Hank’s Plumbing & Heating. We took out two of their alternates because they were quite high. Those are two we can live without,” said Navarre. The total bid came to $528,500, which included a $7,000 alternate bid.

“It’s less than if we would have gone with Comte. Still over what we had budgeted. I think that’s a problem that’s probably going to persist for a while. I don’t have the answers on the money. I trust Mr. Beazley and Mr. Roman. They think it is doable, and I’m appreciative of that,” said Navarre.

Ohio grape, wine industries contributing $1.3 billion The Ohio Grape Industries Committee today released its 2016 Economic Impact report, which finds that Ohio’s grape and wine industry has a significant impact of $1.3 billion on the state’s economy and provides 8,067 full-time jobs, with more than 2,700 additional jobs created since 2012.

“This report further demonstrates the growing strength of food and agriculture as Ohio’s number one industry,” said Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David T. Daniels. “Ohio grape growers and wine makers are creating quality, award-winning products that rival those produced in historic wine producing areas like California

Ag Notes and Europe. This new study is proof of their success and their impact on Ohio’s economy.”

Highlights of the report include the following: • 2016’s full economic impact of Ohio wine and grapes is $1.3 billion.

• The number of wineries in the state

of Ohio grew from 175 in 2012 to 265 in 2016, an increase of 51%.

• The industry provides 8,067 fulltime jobs, with more than 2,700 additional jobs created since 2012, with a payroll of roughly $264 million.

• Ohio is the 6th largest wine producer in the country, producing 1.23 million gallons or more than a half-million cases of wine. The Buckeye State was ranked 7th in 2012.

• Ohio is the 9th largest grape producer with 1,500 acres.

• 1.38 million people visited Ohio wineries in 2016, up 16% from approximately 1.19 million winery visitors in 2012.

• Ohio’s wine, wine grape and allied industries generated $75 million in federal taxes and $72 million in state and local taxes in 2016, including more than $6 million in total excise taxes.

The Economic Impact report was commissioned and funded by the Ohio Grape Industries Committee. A copy of the complete report can be found here. The committee was created in 1982 and operates in-part through the Ohio Department of Agriculture, providing marketing and research opportunities to Ohio’s wineries and vineyards. The committee helps increase consumer awareness of Ohio’s modern, high-quality wine industry.

Court ruling: Company violated size limit for perch

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A misdemeanor charge of possession of undersize fish against a Sandusky commercial fishing company has been upheld by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals.

Whites Landing Fisheries, Inc., was charged in June 2014 by two officers of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources after using a trap net in Lake Erie. The company was found guilty after a jury trial in Sandusky Municipal Court but challenged

that ruling on several issues in its appeal, including questioning the credibility of one of the officers and the trial court’s decision to bar what the company considered an expert witness from testifying.

One officer weighed and measured the 1,069 yellow perch in the catch and concluded that 75 pounds of the 320 pounds of perch were less than 8 3/8 inches long.

State law prohibited a load with more than 10 percent by weight of undersized perch and possession of perch less than 8 ½ inches.

The appeals court ruled that although

one officer’s notes about the catch differed slightly from the other officer’s count, the weight limit had been exceeded.

The court also dismissed the company’s contention the officer didn’t pinch the fish mouths shut or flatten the tail when placing the fish on the measuring board to get a more accurate measurement.

Whites Landing also sought to have the testimony of Robert Calala, a former president of the Ohio Aquaculture Association, presented at trial. The company retained him to conduct an experiment on how perch shorten after they’ve been placed on ice but

the appeals court agreed the lower court didn’t abuse its discretion in not allowing his testimony to be entered into trial.

“We find that it was not unreasonable for the trial court to conclude that Calala’s experiment was not conducted in a way that would yield an accurate result under (evidentiary rules),” the appeals court ruled.

Owners of Whites Landing had also wanted to enter a state report that included allegations one of the officers in 2011 had hunted a deer while on duty. That too was denied by the lower court and upheld by the appeals court.

Surveys: Yellow perch, walleye hatches near averages Early data gathered by wildlife agencies in the western basin of Lake Erie indicate that both the walleye and yellow perch hatches were near their annual average, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Each year in August, wildlife agencies from around the western basin of Lake Erie sample the waters using bottom trawls in search of young of the year walleye and yellow perch. Data from these bottom trawls are combined into a basin-wide index, and fisheries biologists compare the figures to previous years to estimate the success of the wall-

eye and yellow perch hatches.

Biologists from the ODNR Division of Wildlife conducted bottom trawling surveys at nearly 40 sampling locations across Ohio waters of the western basin. This information provides biologists with an estimate of how many young fish will enter the fishable population two years later.

Based upon results from the August trawl surveys, the 2017 yellow perch hatch was successful in Ohio waters of the western basin. Initial results found 280 yellow perch per hectare compared to the 20-year average

of 300 yellow perch per hectare. Five good yellow perch hatches in a row should help the perch population in the western basin continue to rebuild and lead to quality yellow perch fishing over the next several years.

The 2017 walleye hatch was near the 20-year average in Ohio waters of the western basin. Average to excellent hatches from three of the past four years have resulted in an abundance of young walleye to complement the older and larger fish that make up the current Lake Erie walleye population.

Results from Ohio’s surveys found 21 wall-

eye per hectare. The average since 1998 is 22 walleye per hectare.

During the upcoming months, Ohio and Ontario bottom trawl data will be combined to estimate the basin-wide hatches of walleye and yellow perch. These estimates will be used as part of the annual process to determine jurisdictional quotas.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2017

After crop tour, experts still not sure what to expect To get a preview of what to expect this harvest season, the Ohio Ag Net and Ohio’s Country Journal team once again went on the I-75/I-71 Ohio Crop Tour presented

by AgroLiquid Fertilizers.

On the tour, two teams of farmers, agronomists and OCJ/OAN staff crisscrossed I-75 and I-71 reporting crop conditions and yield estimates on Aug. 16 and 17. The teams started in the north and met at the end in Clinton County. During the two days, each team sampled a representative corn and soybean field in more than 20 counties (for a total of more than 40 counties during the two days).

The groups estimated yields and overall conditions for corn fields and the conditions and yield potential of soybean fields.

After an extremely wet growing season for Ohio we were not sure quite what to expect in the 2017 I-75/I-71 Ohio Crop Tour.

We had heard about dry weather, but were surprised how dry some fields were, especially in the northwestern part of the state.

There were certainly some examples that showed up in fields on the 2017 I-75/I-71 Ohio Crop Tour displaying evidence of those challenging conditions. We found some corn still pollinating and some that had dented after the spread out planting season for many this spring. But, at the same time, we saw many more examples of how solid farm management practices made the most of some challenging weather situations and others capitalized on timely rains.

In the West, the I-75 group had an average corn yield of 169 bushels on Day 1 and 183 bushels on Day 2. The Eastern leg of the Ohio Crop Tour averaged 180 bushels on Day 1 and 166 bushels on Day 2. The total tour average was 174.5. The samplers felt that this is a good number for the fields we sampled, but probably a little high overall due to the fact that the many holes in corn stands from the wet spring were not necessarily considered in the yield estimates. We found multiple fields of corn still silking and so early developmentally that it was really difficult to assess yields.

The weather is still a major factor in these fields and an early frost would be a real problem.

The formula used in estimating corn

yields is accurate plus or minus 30 bushels for the areas of the fields sampled and the Crop Tour is designed to simply provide a snapshot of yields and various yield limiting factors around the state.

The other key factor for the yields is that many of these fields still have a long way to go. Soybeans especially could be made or broken by the rains (or lack of) yet to come. Across the board we found solid, consistent soybean fields in the east. They were healthy and there was little disease pressure and the insects had been there but had moved on. It was said that the eastern leg could have looked at just a couple of soybean fields and had the same results due to the incredible consistency they found from north to south. The west had more inconsistency with rising levels of disease pressure as we moved to the south.

There were some really good looking fields and some very poor fields, some tall and many very short, along the way.

Brent Pence said “hello” to the drone being flown by Paul Ralston on the I-75 leg of the Ohio Crop Tour.

More disease than normal With the excessive moisture this year, we expected to find more disease than usual.

We certainly saw more sudden death syndrome (SDS) in soybeans than we have in the past. Ohio State University Extension plant pathologist Anne Dorrance has been finding it too.

“In Ohio, this disease tends to occur with greater frequency in fields that have higher populations of soybean cyst nematode. With the environmental conditions we had earlier this spring, extensive flooding injury, I would not be surprised to see a much wider distribution of this disease in the state,” Dorrance said. “As the disease develops, severely affected leaves will die and drop from the plants and leave the petioles. This fungus is a very good root rotter, and if you dig a few plants and look at the roots, especially after a rain, there

may be blue green growth on the top and outside of the root. These are the spores of the fungus. This fungus will survive in the affected fields in this old plant residue and as specialized fungal structures in the soil.

Meaning, it’s not going anywhere.”

There are several very good options for management, Dorrance said, with the first being host resistance. The conditions this year provide an opportunity to see which fields have the highest pathogen levels and evaluate the resistance levels of your soybean varieties.

“Through a checkoff funded project from Ohio Soybean Council we have been able to participate in a variety trial. I have been amazed at the change or shift towards high-yielding resistant lines,” she said.

“Again, if you do observe SDS in your area make a note on what the resistance scores were for SDS on your varieties — that is if

you can remember what variety ended up in which field.”

We also found more odd-looking, bulbous blobs of corn smut in western Ohio than we have seen in the past. According to Ohio State University Extension, the smut gall is composed of a great mass of black, greasy or powdery spores enclosed by a smooth white covering as large as four or five inches in diameter. The greatest yield losses occur when the ear becomes infected or if the smut gall forms on the stalk immediately above the ear.

Corn smut spores can be blown long distances with soil particles or carried into a new area on unshelled corn and in manure from animals that fed on infected corn stalks. Spores germinate in rainwater that has collected in the leaf sheaths, according to OSU Extension. Tillage to bury diseased corn stalks in the fall will help give some control in future years.

We also stumbled across some corn earworm and fall armyworm. Earworms will frequently be near the tip but may feed down the ear creating a track of damaged kernels. This injury creates an ideal environment for ear fungi to invade and may lead to a quality problem at harvest.

Unlike the corn earworm, the fall armyworm feeds by burrowing through the husk on the side of the ear. Larvae also enter at the base of the ear, feeding along the sides and even tunneling into the cob. They usually emerge at the base of the ear, leaving round holes in the husks, according to OSU Extension.

This kind of information is only possible with help from the farmers who grant us permission to visit their fields. We keep the fields anonymous, but really appreciate everyone who allows us to visit their farms.

By talking to the farmers, we get to add another valuable layer of information to what we are finding in the fields and share it with you. So thanks to the many farmers out there who work with us to make the Ohio Crop Tour possible. You know who you are, and we want you to know we appreciate it.

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

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.

We miss the normalcy and routine of life. We miss the hustle and bustle of the new school year. We have called all 1,400 families that are enrolled at Hamilton Middle School to see how they are and what needs they have. So far it is one of every four families that has been affected be Hurricane Harvey.

Some have lost everything; others are dealing with water logged structures and mold under their house as many houses are pier and beam here in Houston.

This storm has taken so much from our students, faculty, and staff. We have 13 staff members that have been flooded out of their homes, and one is still not able to get to her house as the reservoir water continues to flood her street over a week and half later.

What we need are school supplies, uniforms, and basic hygiene supplies as we try and start back up and get back to teaching kids.

No one can learn if their basic needs are not met; that is why in Houston Independent School District we have meal service centers providing three meals a day, not only to our students, but to their entire families as well.

We need uniforms for students so that when they aren’t able to clean the ones they have, we have clothing to give them. We need to help replace uniforms and clothing for students who have lost everything when the idea of buying special clothing just for school is overwhelming when you don’t even have walls in your house.

Northwest Ohio means so much to me personally because it is the core of who I am as a person. I am a Midwesterner. I am girl from Northwest Ohio, and when life gets hard, when the winds blow, the water rises, and the storm comes, you don’t back down.

You stand stronger, and you build back up.

Sometimes standing is hard, but when the community stands with you – your friends, family, and neighbors help you – nothing is impossible.

God doesn’t give us more than we can handle – that is the message I am taking from this. Many of us in Houston have been dealt a blow, but we have all of the United States and all of Northwest Ohio behind us. We will build back up; we will create a safe place for our students, and we will educate them. Schools are the cornerstone of a community, and our community has been rocked, but we will rebuild because we have the support from so many amazing people. Thank you to organizers of the collections for our school, and to those who are donating for all you are doing. You are making a difference. We have lost many things, but we just lost things – love, hope, strength, family and friends – we still have those in greater quantities than we even knew.

I am proud to be from Oregon, Ohio, and the support and love I have gotten in the past week and a half has only cemented that pride. I was raised on Lake Erie, grown strong like the roots of our corn and soybeans.

Thank you for reminding me who I am Ohio. Thank you for helping me weather this storm, and thank you for helping me help my students come back so they can

grow stronger too.

Setbacks are stepping stones to growth Seeds must be planted in soil before they will germinate. When placed in dirt, the seeds are in a dark place. Conversely, when left in the light, seeds remain dormant. It’s somewhat ironic that a seed’s life must begin in a dark place.

Although a seed’s growth begins in the dark, the growing plant breaks out of the soil, reaching for the light. Even though a plant originates in a dark place, it doesn’t want to stay there. It’s not where you begin that matters, it’s where you are headed which determines your future.

Any number of situations can cause you to feel you are in a dark place in life.

A significant loss, inability to reach your goals, drifting without a purpose, unhappiness, or feeling isolated, are just a few examples.

In life, being in a dark place carries a negative connotation. It evokes feelings of fear, frustration, and failure. Any of these reactions prolongs the amount of time you remain in a dark place. Just as with seeds, a dark place is a starting point, not a destination.

Once a seed is planted, the process to reach the light begins. You should take the same approach whenever you find yourself in a dark place. Moving toward the light begins with your determination to do so.

This willpower is as important to you as water is to a seed.

Next, analyze your situation to de-

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden termine how and why you arrived in the dark place. Understanding cause and effect enables you to avoid repeating mistakes, while formulating a more successful strategy to move forward.

Now figure out where you would like to go. What is your ultimate destination?

Your answer should be very specific and detailed. This is the light you will be moving toward. This is your purpose and direction. Other people have successfully gotten out of the same dark place you may be in. You can also.

Creating a plan to get there is the next phase for getting out of a dark place. The plan is your growth formula, providing the building blocks for your upward movement. A workable plan consists of steps small enough to be readily doable. Leaving the dark place consists of taking enough small steps to get to the light.

Just as the seed takes action to move toward the light by growing, you must take positive action also. One by one, take each step in your plan. You will then be moving out of the darkness toward your light.

Setbacks are a normal part of growth.

Some of your steps may not produce the desired results. Don’t be deterred. Get up whenever you stumble and fall. If you drift off course, get back on track. Be patient if your journey is taking longer than anticipated.

Focus on the importance of leaving your dark place. Concentrate on how good you will feel when you have done so. Don’t make any excuses for why you can’t or won’t. Don’t wallow in misery, sorrow, or self-pity. You have what it takes to move toward the light. Take responsibility for yourself. You have control over your thoughts and actions.

You are not confined to being in a dark place. You have the free will to make the necessary decisions to travel to a positive destination. It doesn’t matter what other people say or think about your situation.

Your thoughts and actions are what shape your life. So, whenever you are in a dark place, act like a seed. Start growing toward the light.

September is ideal time for trip to Topsail Island

Sunrise on Topsail Island is a wonderful quiet time to wander the nearly deserted beach, enjoying the surf, birds, and offshore trawlers. (Photo by Art Weber)

“

...After sunset, walks on the beach happen under a canopy dominated by the Milky Way...

“

Now is a great time to plan a trip to the beach.

Grab your sandals, swimsuits, sunglasses and beach towels. Don’t forget the sunscreen, `cause you’re going to need it.

Logic says it can’t be so. Days are getting shorter, evenings are cooler; football season is upon us. Time to put on sweatshirts.

Yet in North Carolina, the weeks right after Labor Day can be a great time to hit the sand. They’re clones of summer.

“In early September, usually every day is a good beach day,” said Allan Libby, director of tourism development for the town of Surf City on Topsail Island.

“I expect clear skies and mid-80-degree temperatures. Everything’s the same as summer. Same water temperature, same air temperature, but the crowds are gone.”

Topsail Island isn’t as well-known as its cousin, the Outer Banks, just to the north and east. Topsail is also a barrier island, basically a long, thin sand bar off the Carolina coast.

North Topsail Beach – Topsul, as locals call it – is within sight of the Marine Corps Base at Camp Lejeune, while the lights of the city of Wilmington glow on the night horizon to the south of the island.

Technically, it’s the off season there, so rates for renting those coveted beachside homes and condos are lower. Not cheap, but lower.

And have we mentioned the crowds are gone? Yet all the great stuff is still there.

The sea breeze blows firm and refreshing in-shore; fiddler crabs scurry and stop and scurry again across the open beach sands, and the sunrise rewards early risers, splattering the oceanside view in rich, warming tones of reds and oranges.

After sunset, walks on the beach happen under a canopy dominated by the Milky Way, pouring an incredible ribbon of millions of stars from overhead until it douses itself in the ocean.

At sunrise, trawlers work the horizon, nets and booms silhouetted in the glow. Gulls and shorebirds work the beach shallows and pools, dancing back and forth with the surf.

You’d think Topsail Island, North Carolina, would be all about the beach and the ocean. This time of year, among the most obvious things to be noticed are the butterflies and dragonflies. Lots of them.

Squadrons of them. So many that it’s impossible to ignore them.

Sulphurs, fritillaries, and giant swallowtails, mostly – with scores of dragonflies zipping about, looking for all the world like they’re flying fighter cover for the butterflies.

Of course, in nature, all things are related. No sooner do the butterflies emerge in the fall than seasoned island residents – and visitors – reach for their fishing rods and a bucket. There’s plenty of fall fishing on and offshore Topsail. Piers can be lined with anglers hoping to catch Spot, one of

the local favorites in September.

At the sea turtle rescue sanctuary, dozens of volunteers and several scores of supportive onlookers, escort sea turtles that have recovered from injuries to be released into the ocean.

Most businesses are home-grown and still bustle. Restaurants serve excellent food, often matched with excellent seaside views. If there’s something you need that just can’t be found on the island, mainland stores stand ready to please.

“We see a lot of Ohioans here,” Allan Libby said.

Benefit fund established Toledo Swiss Singers have established a fund to help support the family of four young children who perished with their great-grandparents in Texas as they tried to flee their northeast Houston home in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

The singers set up the fund in honor of fellow member Chon Enriquez, whose cousin is the mother of the four Saldivar children – Devy, 16; Dominic, 14; Xavier, 8, and Daisy, 6, who were found inside a van that had plunged into floodwaters after crossing a bridge over the Greens Bayou.

Manuel and Belia Saldivar, 84 and 81 respectively, were also found in the van.

Police rescued the lone survivor, Sammy Saldivar – Manuel and Belia’s son – who escaped from the vehicle and clung to a branch.

Donations may be made to the “Saldiva Family Relief Fund” at any GenoaBank branch. Funds will be donated to the Saldiva family to help with funeral other disaster-recovery expenses.

Add plants that add beauty, help birds weather winter September is here again and on Sept.

22, we will welcome autumn.

The days are growing shorter now and some of our migratory birds will soon begin to prepare for their journeys to their winter homes. The lull now, between the heat of summer and the cooler days to come, is a great time to enjoy your gardens and flower beds and perhaps add to them for the garden season next year. Early frosts can occur this month, but they are normally mild in September and do not damage most perennials and annuals.

The birds in my backyard are very active at the bird feeders as they fill up for the winter season ahead. Those who will be leaving are storing up energy for their trip, and those who will stay in Northwest Ohio for the winter are preparing as well.

It is a great help to our winter birds to be able to find as many natural sources of food supply and winter cover as they can.

By adding “bird-friendly” plants to our yards and gardens, we can make the cold, harsh winter months more comfortable for the birds and add their living color, interest, and song to our yards and gardens as well.

The mild weather of September is a great time to plant trees and shrubs and the following are 10 trees and shrubs that provide excellent food sources and winter cover for birds: 1. Flowering crabapple “Malus hybrids” – provides various sizes of small “apples” that remain on the tree many months and are enjoyed by various birds.

2. Creeping juniper “Juniperus horizontalis”– evergreen foliage provides protection through the year and small blue berries as a food source.

3. American holly “Ilex opaca” – evergreen leaves last through the winter and the female plant has lots of red fruit.

4. Blackhaw viburnum “Viburnum prunifolium” – produces deep-blue berries in the fall.

5. Oregon grape holly “Mahonia aqui-

10. Lowbush blueberry “Vaccinium angustifolium laevifolium”– produces berries in the late summer.

Here are 10 perennials that are also excellent food sources for birds: 1. Switch grass “Panicum virgatum” ‘Heavy Metal’– provides seeds at the ends of stiff stems that hold through the winter.

2. Purple coneflower “Echinacea purpura”– seeds in the winter.

3. Little bluestem “Schizachyrium scoparium” – fluffy seed heads in the fall.

4. Brown-eyed Susan “Rudbeckia triloba”– produces seeds in summer to fall.

5. Anise hyssop “Agastache foeniculum”– seeds in the winter.

6. Aster “Aster xfrikartii”– seeds in late summer through the fall.

7. Black-eyed Susan “Rudbeckia fulgida”- produces brown seed cones in late summer.

8. Coreopsis “Coreopsis sp.”– seed producer.

9. Bee Balm “Monarda”– leave dried flower heads through the winter for seeds for birds.

10. Goldenrod “Solidago odora”– fall and winter seed heads.

Including “bird-friendly” shrubs, trees, and flowers in your landscape gives the double pleasure of the attractive features of the plants themselves and the delight of seeing and sharing your yard and gardens with some beautiful and entertaining feathered friends. It is well worth the effort and, with a little planning and planting now, very easy to do.

CVS acquires pharmacies CVS Pharmacy will acquire six of ProMedica’s outpatient pharmacy locations in Ohio.

CVS Pharmacy will take over operations of ProMedica Pharmacy Counter, located at 3316 Navarre Ave. in Oregon, and will convert it to CVS Pharmacy in early November.

The remaining five Toledo-area outpatient pharmacies acquired by CVS Pharmacy, located in Toledo and Sylvania, will be transferred to nearby CVS Pharmacy stores, beginning in mid-October.

Additional information on closure dates will be communicated to patients in the upcoming weeks.

ProMedica will retain ownership of its other outpatient pharmacies at ProMedica Toledo Hospital, ProMedica Monroe Hospital and ProMedica Fostoria Hospital.

ProMedica will also continue to operate its specialty, adherence (blister packaging) and home infusion pharmacies, as well as its home medical equipment business.

“ProMedica and CVS Pharmacy are working closely together to ensure patients experience a seamless transition of services and that their access to pharmacy care is not interrupted,” said Neeraj Kanwal, MD, senior vice president of inpatient and retail pharmacy at ProMedica. “We’re confident our patients will benefit from CVS Pharmacy’s unique clinical services.”

CVS Pharmacy expects to hire many of the Pharmacy Counter employees currently working at these locations.

“We’d like to thank our employees for their commitment to our patients and the high-quality service they provided over the years,” said Dr. Kanwal.

Toledo Zoo’s lighting up autumn with Luminous nights Toledo Zoo is doing its part to make autumn bright with the debut of Luminous Nights.

The fall festival of lights, featuring illuminated hand-crafted Chinese lanterns in the shapes of animals and botanicals, runs from Sept. 29-Oct. 29 on both sides of the number-one zoo in the nation.

Each lantern is hand-crafted by Chinese artisans and is made of a welded metal frame, painstakingly covered with pieces of silky cloth and illuminated with LED lights to create intricate flowers, birds, butterflies and more.

Individual lanterns can be upwards of 19 feet tall and approximately 50 feet long.

In the Chinese culture, lanterns are symbolic of illuminating the future and the reunion of family.

Lantern vignettes are sponsored by Taylor Automotive Family & Ohio Council of Community Schools. In addition to the lanterns, the Zoo will also have several on-grounds events including an outdoor movie night, community scarecrow building showcase, pie-eating contests, family pumpkin-carving nights, woodcarving demonstrations, games, crafts and much more. All events are included with Luminous Nights admission.

The cost for Toledo Zoo members is $14 for adults and $11 for seniors and children. The cost for non-members is $17 for adults and $14 for seniors and children. Admission gate hours are 6-9 p.m.

Sunday-Thursday and 6-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The park will stay open for one hour after admission gates close to allow guests to complete their visit.

To keep the wild spirit aglow, Expedition Africa Aerial Adventure Course presented by Mercy Health will have extended hours on weekends throughout Luminous Nights.

Mercy Health breaks ground on new hospital

“

...patients are demanding accessible healthcare where they live and work that’s convenient...

“

Mercy Health officially broke ground Sept. 7 on a $56.3 million hospital, surgical center and medical building located on the Mercy Health Perrysburg health campus, located on Eckel Junction Road.

Once construction is complete on the 101,000-square foot facility in early 2019, the campus will become a one-stop location for patients in Perrysburg and surrounding communities to access all levels of care from emergency, to surgical, to inpatient services.

“As the care delivery model changes, Mercy Health is committed to leading what healthcare looks like for patients and their families,” said Bob Baxter, interim CEO of Mercy Health – Toledo. “Today, patients are demanding accessible healthcare where they live and work that’s convenient and offers comprehensive healthcare services… delivered in a way that’s efficient, flexible and designed around them.

The new facility will include: • Forty-six inpatient beds for patients needing 2-3 nights of treatment or care –18 of which will open later yet this year on the third floor of the Mercy Health – Perrysburg Cancer Center; • Two state-of-the-art surgical suites; • Medical offices; • Onsite cafeteria, pharmacy and other outpatient services.

The new hospital and medical building will also bring new jobs to Perrysburg. By 2021, an additional 177 jobs are expected to have been created.

“I want to take a moment to publicly thank a few people for helping us to make this healthcare campus a reality,” said Jeff Dempsey, president of Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center and Mercy Health – Children’s Hospital. “First, to the City of Perrysburg which has been a trusted partner to us from the beginning. In particular, we have worked closely with city council, the Wood County Commissioners, Perrysburg City Schools, Way Public Library and Mayor Michael Olmstead to help develop this campus and the many health/wellness opportunities in the community.”

In addition to breaking ground, Father Joseph Cardone and Sr. Dorothy Thum offered a blessing on Mercy Health and the project.

Flyers stay on track, but plenty of work left

By Nicholas Huenefeld Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The Lake boys’ soccer team is off to a 6-1 start this year, but the team is still in the process of finding leadership and responding to expectations while looking to build toward a tournament run.

“We’re going to have to learn how to handle the pressure at times,” Lake coach Chad Lillich said. “When you’re coming off a 16-1-1 season, you think you’re going to do it again. We’re going to have to understand there will be bumps, but it’s how we respond to it.”

Last year, Lake won the program’s first Northern Buckeye Conference title before falling to state-ranked Ottawa Hills in a sectional final. This year, the team has started 6-1 with its lone loss, 5-2, to Ottawa Hills on Aug. 26.

“We just have to be able to play with a little more poise,” Lillich said of the match, which was tied at two at halftime.

“It knocked us into place and will hopefully help us focus going forward. We got rattled in the second half and kind of selfdestructed. We had opportunities, but just didn’t finish.”

Outside of that loss, Lake has outscored its opponents 21-12 and picked up conference wins over Eastwood (4-1), Woodmore (2-0) and Rossford (4-1). Lillich, though, doesn’t think he’s seen his team reach its potential yet.

“We lost a lot of leadership from last year,” he said. “We’re trying to find players to step up and take roles they haven’t had to before, so it’s put us in a pretty tough spot not having that fiery leader. We do have a very senior heavy team, though, so that experience has helped us.”

One of the adjustments the team has had to make was getting leading scorer Michael Szymanski some help up top. The senior forward, who scored a school record 27 goals last year, has 16 goals and two assists through seven games.

“He’s definitely a pure finisher,” Lillich said of Szymanski. “He’s very quick and has a fast release with his shot. He’s a very dynamic one-on-one player.”

With Szymanski starting to face heavy

defensive pressure, Lillich moved center back Cole Lloyd to the striker position, and it’s paid off as Lloyd has three goals in three games at the position. The defense, meanwhile, has allowed just two goals and posted four shutouts over the past four games. That run started with a 2-0 win over Woodmore. “(Woodmore) was a good win,” Lillich said. “Our defensive shape that game was much better. We changed our defensive personnel around, and it was a good test for our new formation, and they did a pretty good job with it.”

Senior goalkeeper Brandon Thielen, meanwhile, has 22 saves during the recent four-game stretch. He recently broke the school’s career saves record and has 37 overall this year.

Outside of those players, Lillich pointed to Carson Tracey and Andrew Hoffman, who have played “pretty big roles in the midfield” and Devin Lindhurst, who “has

been phenomenal on defense.”

On top of that, Lillich said his son, Shawn, is the leader of the team’s midfield position and one of the team’s best passers. He has a team-high four assists, while Tracey has three and Hoffman has one.

“Going forward, I think our biggest problem we need to work on is finishing off teams,” Lillich said. “We have a tendency of letting teams hang around. We need to find that killer instinct and put games away early and not have that constant battle.”

Non-conference wins have been over Pettisville (6-4), Central Catholic (2-0) and Riverdale (3-1).

Lake was set to face Otsego (3-2-1) at home on Thursday before taking its spotless road record to Genoa (3-4) on Saturday.

Eastwood (0-7-1) is then on the table at home Sept. 21. A non-league challenge has the Flyers at Bowling Green (3-4) on Sept.

Unbeaten Eagles seek to take season a step further

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There are a couple of things Eastwood volleyball coach Jeff Beck doesn’t want to think about right now.

First, the Eagles are ranked fifth in this week’s Division III state coaches’ poll, but a high ranking doesn’t win matches. Second, Eastwood will have a tough road in the postseason based on the other programs scheduled to compete in the same region.

Last year’s team won the Northern Buckeye Conference title and advanced to the Sweet 16 in D-III. This year’s squad, which returned 10 letter winners and six starters, improved to 10-0 and 5-0 in the NBC on Tuesday with a win over Elmwood. The Eagles’ other conference wins are against Otsego, Rossford, Woodmore and Fostoria.

“We went five (sets) with Otsego, but we always go five with them,” Beck said. “We have done well. We haven’t lost a set besides Otsego.”

Beck said his message to this year’s team is to take things slow and never look ahead to the next opponent.

“Honestly, our goal is just the next match,” Beck said.

“We focus on who we have this week and never look ahead, and I think that’s helping. I have three girls (Katelyn Meyer, Abby Schroeder and Hannah Hodulik) who have been on varsity for four years. They are very skilled, they know what to expect and they are great leaders. The other girls have done well in the offseason and worked really hard to get ready for this season.”

Meyer, an outside hitter, is the reigning NBC Player of the Year and was a second-team All-Ohio selection as a junior. She will play volleyball at Bowling Green State University next fall and she holds the school record for kills in a career, match and season.

“She got her 1,000th kill against Bowling Green, in our first match of the year,” Beck said. “The kid is so humble that I’m not quite sure she realizes how good she is, which is a good thing. She is such a force at the net, yet she is one of the nicest people you will ever play against. Skill-wise, she can leap 10 feet, 3 inches and she is so dominant this

year that people struggle to even touch the ball on a block.

She rarely gets blocked.”

Schroeder was a first-team all-conference setter last year and earned second-team all-district honors. Her 243 assists after nine matches this season led the team, and she collected her school-record 2,000th career assist in the win over Fostoria.

“She’s run our offense for four straight years and she calls the plays,” Beck said. “She’s very smart and we leave a lot of trust in her for running and calling the plays.”

Hannah Hodulik, a middle hitter, missed the first three weeks of the season with an illness and her sister Ashley, a sophomore, did a good job filling in, according to Beck.

Hannah was a first-team All-NBC and all-district selection last season.

“She’s a great four-year starter,” Beck said. “She brings a lot of energy and she’s got a great skill set. Very talented.”

Eastwood’s other seniors are right side hitter Taylor Downey and defensive specialist Hailey Riter.

“Taylor worked extremely hard in the offseason,” Beck said. “She’s extremely respectful and she has high coachability. She wants to get better. Hailey is in the rotation and goes in for an outside hitter in the back row. She is a success story. She was on the jayvee at the start of her ju-

nior year and now she’s a captain her senior year. It shows the hard work she puts in during the season and in the offseason.”

The Eagles’ juniors are defensive specialist Carleigh Coffield, middle hitter Kara Spahn, right side hitter Alyssa Ray, libero Bailey Ramlow and outside hitter Kyra Contris.

Carlee Lepiarz is the team’s sophomore setter.

“Carleigh is a hard worker and she is also a stud softball player,” Beck said. “In the offseason she will squeeze in any kind of volleyball reps to get better. She works hard all year round in anything she does — school and sports - and she’s very coachable. Kara has greatly improved in the off-season. She is more than just a blocker now. She’s become an option for us to set. I’m thoroughly impressed with her offseason improvement.”

Ramlow had a team-high 94 digs through nine matches and was a first-team All-NBC pick as a sophomore. Contris is second on the team in kills (64).

“Bailey has such a great range of motion and she’s so low to the floor,” Beck said. “It can be deceiving when teams play her. She is the one the ground all the time and she is constantly moving. Kyra is very consistent and is starting to understand her role and demand the ball. She gets better with every match.”

Eagles, Bulldogs — rivalry that began 59 years ago

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Eastwood vs. Rossford All-Time Gridiron Series

A season filled with high expectations has been exceeded so far as Eastwood dominated the competition and started 3-0 during its tough non-conference slate.

The Eagles’ rushing attack and a defense that has allowed just seven points in each game has them ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Division V state poll.

Eastwood, which has outscored its opponents by a combined 100-21, has rushed for 968 yards with a group of four running backs providing the punch behind a capable offensive line.

Justin Pickerel, Jaden Rayford, Ian Downard and Cooper Comes have provided the bulk of the offense and quarterback Jake Pickerel has been called upon when needed to provide his own offense via the passing game.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, Rayford hurt his ankle in the win over Bowling Green and missed last week’s game against Maumee. Cade Boos, who was one of the top running backs last year, is already out for the season. However, the Eagles are deep in talent, speed and athleticism, so with the offensive line Coach Craig Rutherford has, they are still hard to stop.

What’s most impressive about the Eagles thus far is not that they’re 3-0, but that they’ve been able to defeat three quality opponents in convincing fashion.

They routed Ottawa-Glandorf, 39-7, in Craig Rutherford’s first game as head coach and followed that up with victories over Bowling Green (34-7) on the road and Maumee (27-7) at home.

“I would say there are a lot of things (that explain our success). No. 1, our guys prepare very well,” said Rutherford, the son of longtime coach Jerry Rutherford, who retired after last season.

The new Coach Rutherford added about his players, “They are very focused.

They listen to the coaching and work really hard.”

This Friday, the Eagles face Rossford in a Northern Buckeye Conference tilt at iconic Jackson-Ferguson Stadium.

Rossford is 1-2 following its 61-36 victory over Northwood. The Bulldogs fell to Port Clinton (28-7) after losing a heartbreaker to Bowling Green, 41-34, in overtime in the opener. Chris Pickett rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Rangers and helped to jumpstart an offense that ran roughshod over Northwood. Pickett is joined in the backfield by quarterback Austin Eick, who threw for 263 yards against the Bobcats and accounted for 414 total yards and five touchdowns against the Rangers.

Rutherford, who is coaching at his alma mater, says Rossford presents plenty of challenges.

“Rossford has had the same coach for a number of years, they have a system, and they find guys that fit the system. With so much continuity in their staff, they’ve got a pretty good idea of the things we run,” he said.

“They know we are going to have to run the ball really well and we know they are going to have to run the ball well, even though we are doing it out of different offenses. That will be the key.”

Rossford coach Todd Drusback, who has had success rebuilding Rossford’s program, will not have a hard time finding

anyone in disagreement when he says his team will have its challenges when facing the Eagles.

“We’re inexperienced. We’re the opposite of Eastwood. We haven’t had a lot of game experience, (but) we’re gaining it. We’ve been in the tight game against Bowling Green and played Port Clinton evenly in the second half,” he said.

“Against Northwood, we had a chance to put them away but didn’t. We have to continue to play with more physicality.”

Dates back 59 years The history between the two teams extends beyond the six games played between both of them as members of the NBC. The border rivalry actually reaches back well over a half century — to 1958 when they played as non-conference opponents. That was Eastwood’s first year of varsity football, except that Troy-Luckey (consolidated into Eastwood) played football prior to that year.

This will be the 47th meeting between Rossford and Eastwood, with the early meetings dating back to when both teams were in the Northern Lakes League. In those games, they played for the Little Brown Jug

trophy, which Rossford practically owned, winning 16 of their first 17 meetings.

Both clubs were part of the Northern Lakes League for 13 years from 1959-72 when the Eagles left to form the Suburban Lakes League. The Bulldogs were members of the NLL from 1956 until 2011.

In fact, Rossford and Eastwood played each other in every season from 1958-92 as they continued the rivalry in non-league play. Rossford mostly dominated until the tables began to turn, or at least show signs of parity, in 1975. Rossford still leads the series 27-18-1, but Eastwood has won 10 of the last 11.

Rossford, which went 6-4 last year, is just two years removed from its last win over the Eagles. Eastwood won the game last year, 55-21, to win the NBC title outright and knock the Bulldogs out of the playoffs. Downard carried the ball 21 times and rushed for 178 yards and three scores, Boos had 11 carries for 106 yards and a touchdown and Rayford rushed nine times for 93 yards and a score.

Despite the lopsided score, the game was close for a while as Rossford led 7-0 and 14-7 before Rayford scored on an 85yard kickoff return to tie it at 14 and then gave the Eagles the lead for good when he caught a 45-yard pass from Pickerel that went for a touchdown.

In 2015, the teams engaged in a thriller that the Bulldogs won, 36-33, to clinch a playoff spot. The contest featured one tie and four lead changes with the final points coming in the fourth quarter when Eric Davis caught a 90-yard touchdown pass from Chase Baney on the last score.

In that game, Davis rushed 20 times for 115 yards, caught three passes for 104 yards and had a touchdown while Downard rushed 28 times for 111 yards and two scores.

In My Opinion

by Harold Hamilton

Armchair QBs — don’t blame J.T. Barrett — not yet It’s hard to believe that in 123 years of college football, Ohio State and Oklahoma, two consistently national football power houses, have only played each other four times, each winning two games.

That includes last week when then-No. 5 Oklahoma and their youngest major college head coach, 34 year old Lincoln Riley, beat down No. 2 Ohio State, 31-16 Oklahoma now has the longest major college winning streak at 12. Their last loss was to Ohio State last year.

Ohio State has consistently had one of the top five recruiting classes over the last few years. After watching last Saturday’s game against Oklahoma, you would believe that either the system that ranks these classes or the Buckeye’s coaches are not doing their job. Saturday, the Buckeyes looked as though they didn’t even belong in the top 10 nationally.

Sundays and Mondays are great days for sports fans because that is the day that you can explain to your friends how smart you are and how your favorite team could have done so much better if they had only had you calling the shots. Forget that you never coached or played at the college level and maybe never even attended a closed practice where you could see, close up, the position skills possessed by the other players. You have a big screen television and after a few beers and some wings you know more about the team’s weaknesses than their coaches. It’s called Monday morning quarterbacking and everyone’s an expert.

Everyone seems to be picking on Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett and demanding he be benched. At the postgame press conference, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, as a good coach should do, was reluctant to blame any individual, including Barrett, for the loss. He said everyone performed poorly and he needed to see the film before taking any action. A day or two after the game, he clearly stated that there will be no changes and Barrett is the quarterback.

As you shake your head disagreeing with Meyer, let me remind you of some things about J.T. Barrett. He has been a twotime Big Ten quarterback of the year, is 27-4 when starting and holds 25 school and Big Ten records. He also has 104 career TD’s he is responsible for, which is two short of the Big Ten record (106) held by Drew Brees when he played at Purdue. Barrett has 9,211 yards of career total offense at OSU, which puts him significantly ahead of his nearest competitor. Barrett has been a very good quarterback, but “what have you done for me recently” is being asked.

What needs to change at Ohio State for them to get better? Here’s my take, my Monday morning shot so to speak.

First let’s look at the offense. OSU offensive strategy has not been very good since offensive coordinator Tom Herman left in 2014 after the Buckeyes won the national championship. One frequently questions the play calling, such as when Ohio State had the ball on fourth down on Oklahoma’s 15-yard line with six minutes left in the game. They went for a field goal. It was made but does three points really make much of an impact when you are down 18 points? Won’t it be better to go all out for a TD or at least a first down? Also, why isn’t the attack more balanced? Why aren’t the highly skilled running backs used more? Saturday, the quarterback Barrett was responsible for 40 percent of the rushing yards. Is that the sign of a good offense?

I agree that J.T. Barrett has continued to play poorly, just as he did at the end of last year. He seems to be afraid that he will make a mistake and takes too long to get rid of the ball, when he does throw it. This was partly because of the excellent Oklahoma defense that pushed the OSU line around, stopped the run and covered the receivers tightly.

Often Barrett had no one open and didn’t want to throw an interception or waste a down. When he did throw it seemed as though the receivers couldn’t shake the Oklahoma defenders or they couldn’t catch the ball. I always felt that a quarterback’s statistics were unfair in that every pass that he threw was expected to be completed. He would be judged on attempts and comple-

tions. What about the passes that were on target but dropped by the receiver?

I do agree, however, that Barrett has issues and perhaps a way to make changes without shaking his confidence would be to announce that for the sake of the team’s future they need to let some of the other quarterbacks get some experience.

This shouldn’t be much of a risk except for the Penn State and Michigan game. Remember, however, that a very good backup quarterback, Joe Burrow, had surgery on his broken hand and is out indefinitely so in affect they would be using the third string quarterback if they brought in a backup.

I think that rather than look at who can replaces J.T. the coaches should be, and probably are, looking for why Barrett has seemed to have lost some of his confidence. Coaches will tell you that the most important sin is to lose the ball via a fumble or interception.

Barrett is very good at protecting the ball, maybe too good. Does he have too great a fear that he might make a mistake? I suggest that only the coaches that watch him in practice and have confidential interactions with him know and that information will never be shared with the public. Barrett can again be a very good quarterback.

There is no reason this slump cannot be corrected. He needs support in order to rebuild his confidence.

The receivers must run better routes, get more separation and start catching the ball. The offensive line must protect Barrett longer until the receivers finally develop the previously mentioned skills.

Finally the defense, particularly when it comes to pass coverage, has reverted to past practices. In my opinion, over the last few years Ohio State lost key games to Virginia Tech, Michigan State and Penn State primarily due to their poor pass defense. It appeared they had this corrected near the end of last year but the problem has returned.

Saturday, Ohio State, at times, used a three-man rush but the scrambling Baker Mayfield was still able to complete passes against the remaining defenders.

Ohio State has tremendous potential but to tune it the guys wearing the whistles during practice must do a better job of teaching. Hopefully this early loss will be forgotten if they get their act together for the remaining games.

(Photographer Harold Hamilton of HEH Photos, a Northwood resident, attended the Ohio State-Oklahoma game on a press pass credentialed by The Press.)

The Owens Community College athletic department will induct its second ever Owens Express Athletic Hall of Fame class on Sept. 30 in the Audio Visual Classroom Center on the Toledo campus, which is adjacent to the college’s library.

This year’s inDan Brown ductees include the 1992-93 national championship men’s basketball team, the college’s all-time winningest men’s basketball coach Jim Welling, the women’s basketball program’s all-time and single season scoring leader Amy Amstutz and former college president Dan Brown, who was a big supporter of Owens athletics.

Welling served as head coach of the men’s basketball program for 20 years.

During his tenure, the Express captured two NJCAA Division II National Championships in 1992 and 1993. He concluded his basketball-coaching career with an overall record of 550-127.

Welling received several honors during his career, including coach of the year five times by the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference, seven times by NJCAA Region XII, and twice by NJCAA Division II. In addition, Welling made many presentations and served as a keynote speaker at several state, regional, and national NJCAA conferences on leadership and the coaching profession.

A 1977 Eastwood graduate, Welling earned his associate’s degree in recreation from Owens Community College and a bachelor’s degree in physical education and health from the University of Toledo.

As a player at Owens, he once held the men’s basketball program’s all-time assists record.

Owens’ hall of fame event, which takes place on a Saturday, will begin with breakfast at 9 a.m. and be followed by the induction ceremony. Following the induction ceremony, the No. 3 Owens volleyball team will host Edison State Community College, where the inductees will also be introduced and honored.

“The induction ceremony is always a very special occasion,” said Owens athletic director J.D. Ettore. “These men and women represent the building blocks of Owens Express Athletics as they built a very strong tradition both in the classroom and on their given field of play. It is a day where we get to celebrate the inductees for their athletic prowess as well as them as people who continue to do work to make their communities a better place.”

Clay’s linebacking corps — they don’t come any tougher

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

They don’t necessarily possess great speed or size, but Clay football coach John Galyas and linebackers coach Jason Besgrove wouldn’t trade them for anyone.

Walker Bliss and Bo Szymczak play outside linebacker, while fellow seniors Michael Halka and Devin Lunsford start at inside linebacker in the Eagles’ 3-4 defense.

Those four have combined for 73 tackles for Clay (2-1), which beat rival Waite, 32-6, a week ago.

Halka, who is 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, said he and the other three linebackers have known each other since junior high and they remain great friends.

“Those guys are my boys. I love those guys,” Halka said. “Devin is going to give us 110-percent effort on every play. I could say that for every one of those guys. I really have faith in them. Even if they miss their reads or make a mistake, they’re going to make that mistake going 110 percent.”

Bliss (6-0, 180), who plays the weak side (Will) linebacker position, started a few games last season. He was one of the team’s weekly captains last Friday against Waite and has 20 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss this season. Galyas said the coaching staff didn’t have a lot of questions about Bliss heading into this season.

“He’s a really smart, tough kid,” Galyas said. “He played his best game of the year against Waite, just from an assignment perspective and finding the football. He led us in tackles and he was all over the field.”

Bliss’s main job is to look for any ball carrier trying to bounce the ball outside of the tackles. He also plays basketball and runs track.

“He played great (last) Friday,” Galyas said. “Walker is fairly athletic and he’s one of our better athletes. We originally thought he might play inside, but with way it’s worked out, he’s our Will.”

Galyas said Szymczak (5-11, 180), who has 19 tackles, is probably the Eagles’ fastest linebacker. Szymczak plays the strong side (Monster) linebacker position and missed some time last year due to a concussion.

“Bo is a tough, hard-nosed kid,” Galyas said. “A lot of times when we (face) a tight end, he walks down over the tight end and he’s got to be a pretty tough kid. He’s taking on the kick-out block and he’s really done a great job this year. His best game was the Rogers game (a 41-0 win), him taking on blocks and from a tackle perspective and assignment perspective.”

Lunsford (5-10, 190), who has 15 tackles, played some at defensive end last season. Galyas said the staff didn’t come into this season looking at Lunsford as a linebacker.

“Devin was a surprise for us at linebacker,” the coach said. “He’s our starting center, so we weren’t expecting much on the defensive side from Devin. In the preseason, we tried him at linebacker and he responded. Devin is steady. He may not make the ‘oh-my-gosh’ plays, but he’s steady and he’s around the football.”

Halka, who bounced back and forth from inside to outside ‘backer last season, is the leader of the defense, according to Galyas. Halka, who has 19 tackles, said he would rather play inside than outside because there is “more contact” in the middle.

“I like his hard-nosed attitude,” Galyas said. “He’s played a lot of football for us.

He played a lot as a sophomore and a lot last year. He is a captain and he has a nose for the ball and reads his keys very well. He plays hard, he hustles and he is a leader.

Our kids respond to him.”

Halka, who also plays H-back on offense, said he relies on his football instincts to help him play well.

“I’m not the quickest guy, that’s for sure,” Halka said. “I can really watch a play develop and I’m not afraid to hit.”

Halka said his best hit on offense this season came against Waite, when he “ran over” an Indians defender to get a first

down on third-and-7. Defensively, he said, his best hit was against Rogers in the season opener.

“The running back was coming up the middle, in the A gap, and I had a blitz and met him perfectly,” Halka recalled. “I got him down real quick and that felt really good.”

Clay had an opportunity to improve to 3-1 this Friday against St. Francis de Sales, in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference opener for both teams. A win would also give the Eagles the same number of wins they had last season, when they finished 3-7 and 2-5 in the TRAC. “We definitely have a lot of improving to do, but every team does,” Halka said. “I think we’re going to have a solid year. We’re going to do something Clay hasn’t done in a while. This team is a family. It has been like a family the last couple years, but not like this year. We just all believe in each other.”

Clay soccer coach banking on his team’s improvement

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Time hasn’t run out on Clay’s boys’ soccer team.

The Eagles are in the midst of a rough stretch, but Coach Justin Guy said the team can still make corrections, get healthy and get on a roll starting now.

“We have a stretch of games where where we can get some wins and get a respectable record, so we can get a decent seed in the tournament,” Guy said. “We’ve competed against some of these teams, even though the scores don’t reflect what we did. I think we will surprise somebody in the tournament. We have the talent and the heart to steal one from somebody.”

Clay lost to St. Francis de Sales, 8-1, on Tuesday to fall to 3-4-1 on the season.

Freshman striker Keegan Calkins scored in the second half for the Eagles. It hasn’t helped that their leading scorer through three games, senior striker Dakota Calkins, has missed all or most of the past four games with a leg injury.

“That has definitely created an issue,” Guy said. “We have to rely on some of our younger guys to step up and score some goals, and we’re struggling with that right now. Dakota played 10 minutes (Tuesday) night and less than five minutes against Findlay (a 7-0 loss). It’s not only a scoring loss, he’s a senior and our captain.”

Dakota Calkins, who has six goals and one assist, was a second-team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference selection as a sophomore. He missed nearly all of last season with a broken nose.

“He is always showing leadership and he’s our main scorer,” Guy said. “He has a knack for finding the back of the net. He tries to find his teammates if they are in better situations, and he can play pretty much any position on the field. He can run, jump and kick with the best of them.”

Calkins was going to be one of the keys to Clay’s resurgence on offense this season. The Eagles finished 5-11 a year ago and were shut out five times. They are still struggling to find an offensive rhythm, having scored 18 goals in eight games.

Clay has wins over Springfield (3-1), Swanton (8-0) and Eastwood (4-0) and tied Central Catholic (1-1). The Eagles lost to Start (2-1), Perrysburg (8-0), Findlay and St. Francis.

“We’re a very experienced team,” Guy said. “We have 10 seniors and most of them have been playing with us all four years.

We’ve actually played very well against some of these teams where the score doesn’t necessarily reflect it. Findlay found

our weakness and exploited it and scored a bunch.

“We have numerous kids who have three to four years of experience. We have two or three juniors who have been around since their freshman year. It’s a good collection of kids who have been playing with each other for a while.”

Keegan Calkins has four goals and one assist in eight games, while senior midfielder/defender Erek Hansen has two goals and three assists. Guy said Hansen, a captain, is a possession player who “collects the ball well and distributes the ball well.”

“He does a good job of maintaining possession and keeping it with our team,” Guy said. “He takes most of our free kicks and he has a great mind for soccer. He plays year round and he understands the game.

When we’re down, he tries to keep the younger kids’ heads in the game.”

Senior center midfielder Zach Groll has two goals and one assist, while senior center midfielder Nolan Binting also has a pair of goals.

“Zach is similar to Erek,” Guy said.

“We look to use him as distributor. He plays club and he understands the game well and sees things some of the other kids don’t see. He helps move the ball forward from the defenders and does a good job of maintaining possession.

“Nolan is a bigger body and he uses that to his advantage. He’s one of the few kids we have who can get physical. He has good ball control on his foot and he’s a good guy to have in the middle of the field.”

Clay’s other top players are senior captain Garret Anderson, junior Zach Row and senior Thomas Cluckey. Anderson is a defender, while Row plays left wing and Cluckey is the goalie.

“Garret is one of the most physically capable kids on our team,” Guy said. “He busts his butt day in and day out and he’s someone the younger kids look up to. He gives everything he has when he’s on the field.”

Guy said Row, who has two assists this season, is probably the Eagles’ quickest player.

“Zach understands the game and gives us energy and everything he has,” Guy said. “He’s grown a lot from his sophomore to junior year and that’s definitely helped him out. He’s been a dominant shutdown defender on the wing.”

Cluckey has been a starter since his freshman year and has 23 saves this season.

He is also the kicker on the football team.

“He has a nice, strong leg and he’s a big-bodied kid who understands the game,” Guy said. “Physically, he has good hands and overall I think he’s one of the better goalies in Northwest Ohio.”

Weddings tend to be formal aÄŤairs, but there are no laws prohibiĆ&#x;ng happy couples from hosĆ&#x;ng more casual aÄŤairs. In fact, many couples confronted with the rising costs of tying the knot are doing just that.

According to The Knot 2016 Real Weddings Study, the average cost of a wedding in 2016 exceeded $35,000, and that price tag does not even include couplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; honeymoons.

Some couples may not have the means to ÄŽnance such lavish aÄŤairs, while others may want to save for larger expenses, such as a house, while sĆ&#x;ll being able to celebrate their nupĆ&#x;als with family and friends. Casual weddings can provide that opportunity. However, while casual weddings are less formal, couples will sĆ&#x;ll need to keep some things in mind to make their ceremonies and recepĆ&#x;ons both fun and memorable. â&#x20AC;˘ Let guests know the wedding will be casual. Perhaps the most important thing couples can do when hosĆ&#x;ng a casual wedding is inform their guests that the ceremony and recepĆ&#x;on will not be formal aÄŤairs. Be as speciÄŽc as possible regarding the dress code so guests donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel embarrassed if they overdress. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t abandon tradiĆ&#x;on enĆ&#x;rely. Couples hosĆ&#x;ng casual weddings may not feel beholden to all the tradiĆ&#x;ons associated with more formal aÄŤairs, but that does not mean tradiĆ&#x;on should be abandoned enĆ&#x;rely. For example, fathers-of-the-bride may sĆ&#x;ll hope to share a spotlight dance with their daughters, while siblings or friends may sĆ&#x;ll hope to serve as bridesmaids or groomsmen. Just because a wedding is less formal does not mean it has to be completely void of tradiĆ&#x;on, especially those tradiĆ&#x;ons that can let couplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; closest loved ones know how much they are loved and appreciated. â&#x20AC;˘ Create your own tradiĆ&#x;ons. Embracing some tradiĆ&#x;on does not mean couples cannot simultaneously create their own wedding tradiĆ&#x;ons. Guests at casual weddings will likely be expecĆ&#x;ng something diÄŤerent than theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to, so couples should not hesitate to provide that. Couples should strive to keep things tasteful but not shy away from unique ideas that ÄŽt into the casual theme. â&#x20AC;˘ Plan to feed guests. While couples having casual weddings may choose to have their recepĆ&#x;ons somewhere other than banquet halls, they should sĆ&#x;ll plan to feed their guests. Some guests may be traveling and staying in hotels to aĆŠend the wedding, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice gesture to show appreciaĆ&#x;on for their eÄŤorts by providing them with a meal. A meal also oÄŤers a great chance for guests to mingle with the married couple and fellow guests.

Something simple like a backyard barbecue or a catered meal at home ÄŽts nicely with a casual seĆŤng. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overlook logisĆ&#x;cs. Small details, like transportaĆ&#x;on, parking and lodging will sĆ&#x;ll need to be arranged. If hosĆ&#x;ng guests at home aĹ&#x152;er the ceremony, make sure guests will have ample places to park their vehicles. In addiĆ&#x;on, make the same eÄŤorts regarding lodging for guests that you would if planning a formal wedding, as out-of-town guests will sĆ&#x;ll need a place to sleep.
