Best practice Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley said the MSU uses the latest technology to improve the health of stroke victims in the area.

“It’s an important health care tool for the region,” said Beazley at a council meeting last week. “The whole operation and unit will be housed here. It will keep our residents safer. It’s the new emerging best practice that deals with strokes. As far as I know, it’s the only unit in northwest Ohio and it will be right here at St. Charles Hospital. It’s nice to welcome this improvement to Oregon.”

Quarry dispute is not over yet

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Residents of Benton Township find some relief in a recent decision by the Ohio Supreme Court regarding a local quarry, but there is still confusion about its impact, says an organizer of a group opposed to dumping at the site.

The Supreme Court ruled that Ottawa County Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters can weigh in on the township’s claims that quarry operators, Rocky Ridge Development, LLC, have violated local zoning regulations and quarry operations create a public nuisance. However, the court granted the company’s request for a writ of prohibition to block the judge from ruling on issues that are under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Review Appeals Commission such as the propriety of issuing a Land Application Management Plan permit to the company or if the company is complying with it.

“The Benton Township Quarry Dumping Opposition is pleased with the ruling of the Ohio Supreme Court.

Local courts need to be able to preside over local issues. This ruling was a step in the right direction for the residents of Benton Township. We all did a little happy dance

Mercy Health Partners is relocating its Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) to St. Charles Hospital in Oregon.

Described as a “mobile 24/7 emergency room, the MSU provides the latest technology to address the high level of stroke cases experienced by members of the community.

The unit is staffed with a critical care nurse, paramedic, a portable CT scanner, and CT technologist. Through the latest in telemedicine technology, the MSU enables a specially trained neurointerventionalist to treat a patient that is experiencing a stroke by conducting a CT scan, which can immediately determine what type of stroke a patient is experiencing, and the best course of treatment. This is all done on site, which allows treatment to be received significantly earlier than the traditional method of transporting someone to a hospital. The time-saving approach helps prevent long-term disability and death. The unit was originally positioned in the western part of the county.

and now we are back to work on this issue. This unfortunate situation isn’t over yet, but there is strength in numbers and our numbers are growing every day,” said Brenda Weidner, a member of the group.

In November 2014, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency issued the LAMP permit to the company, allowing it to use spent lime from the City of Toledo water treatment system in a soil blend to increase elevation and improve drainage around the quarry.

An amended permit was issued in February 2017 but within weeks the township trustees filed a complaint in common pleas court alleging that Rocky Ridge and Stansley Industries, Inc., were violating the permit and local zoning regulations as well as creating a public nuisance.

Judge Winters issued a temporary re-

straining order preventing the quarry from digging a borrow pit or farm pond, spreading or mixing waste, removing topsoil where a conditional use permit is required and changing the drainage of the property.

The supreme court noted some of the township’s complaints fall under ERAC’s jurisdiction.

“For example, the township claims that the LAMP was issued to an improper party, that Rocky Ridge is violating the express terms of the LAMP, and that Rocky Ridge is conducting operations in violation of state law,” the ruling says. “These allegations all directly challenge the validity of the LAMP or Rocky Ridge’s compliance with the LAMP and so fall under ERAC’s exclusive jurisdiction.”

But the court rejected the company’s contention that state law preempts the applicable zoning regulations.

“We hold that in a case alleging preemption of local zoning ordinances due to conflict with state law, the trial court has jurisdiction to determine whether such a conflict exists. Preemption is not a question committed to the exclusive jurisdiction of ERAC, as Rocky Ridge assumes. We therefore deny the requested writ as to any claims based on violations of the Benton Continued on page 2

Township zoning resolution,” the court said.

The township also alleged quarry operations such as excavating the land down to bedrock endangered groundwater and well water and that the spilling of industrial waste onto roadways was a hazard.

Erosion and flooding onto adjacent properties were also problems.

Such issues don’t automatically fall under ERAC’s jurisdiction, the court ruled.

“To the contrary, the Revised Code expressly preserves the traditional authority of the common pleas courts to hear nuisance suits,” the court said.

Residents fear the lime sludge endangers an aquifer that is the source of their

This clearly violates the zoning resolution drinking water.

In their request for an injunction, the township trustees argued the quarry operators applied for one zoning certificate for a “farm pond” but hadn’t been issued the required certificates yet “continue to work in violation” of the township zoning regulations.

“Ohio law has recognized that the spreading of sludge on agricultural property for agricultural purposes was exempt from township zoning authority. In this case, the waste being spread is industrial waste, not for agricultural purposes and much of it is being spread on non-agriculturally zoned property. Indeed, the stated reason for placing this waste on the subject property is to increase elevation and improve drainage of low lying areas. This clearly violates the zoning resolution,” the injunction request said.

Refiling zoning under consideration

By Press Staff Writer Ottawa

County

Prosecutor

VanEerten said last week his office hadn’t decided whether to refile zoning violation charges against the quarry operated by Rocky Ridge Development.

The Port Clinton Municipal Court in May agreed to his request to dismiss two zoning violations against Rocky Ridge.

VanEerten sought the dismissals while appeals before the Ohio Supreme Court and Sixth District Court of Appeals were pending.

“We have not made a decision on this yet. It is currently being discussed,” he said Wednesday of his option to refile.

The zoning charges were filed last year by former prosecutor Mark Mulligan at the request of Benton Township, which is contesting the dumping of spent lime from the City of Toledo’s water treatment plant in berms around the quarry. The area where the mixture of lime and soil was being deposited is zoned for agricultural use, the township is alleging, and the depositing of the lime isn’t an agricultural practice.

VanEerten later filed a civil lawsuit in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court against Rocky Ridge Development and that court in March issued a preliminary injunction to stop the dumping.

The company has an appeal pending before the Sixth District Court of Appeals on the injunction that stopped certain operations.

In addition to a permit for depositing the mixture into berms, Rocky Ridge also has a permit application pending with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to deposit the mix into the quarry.

At their September meeting, members of the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities (WCBDD) voted to reduce the 2.95-mill levy passed by voters in 2012 by 50 percent (1.48 mills) in 2018.

The decision comes after completing the budget forecast for 2018 and reviewing an extensive list of cost-saving measures. The levy was not collected in 2017.

“The WCBDD is proud of our commitment to fiscal responsibility, while maintaining the focus on persons served,” said WCBDD Superintendent Brent Baer. “The board will continue to review its utilization of levy dollars as it prepares for projected growth and increased need for services.”

As enrollment in Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waivers continue to incline at a historic pace with continued growth in the foreseeable future, there remains a steady need for local waiver dollars to support individuals served by WCBDD. Additionally, the funds support a rapidly growing Early Intervention Program, Wood Lane School, Nursing Services, Occupational Therapy Services, Provider Supports, and specialty programs such as Special Olympics and Operations Recreation.

Individuals served by the WCBDD also face a housing shortage, as access to safe, affordable, and accessible housing is competitive in the area and often does not meet the accessibility needs.

This year, WCBDD worked with the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) to secure $552,340 of Community Capital Assistance to develop housing that meets the needs of individuals served. Several more development activities are planned for the future.

“The board takes our commitment to the taxpayers of Wood County and to the people we serve very seriously,” said Board President Ed Metzger.

“By reducing the collection of the 2.95-mill levy, we feel we have provided tax relief to the people of Wood County while also ensuring safe and high-quality programs for our citizens with developmental disabilities at a time of swift and monumental change throughout the DD landscape at the state and national levels.”

Two Special Olympians win state titles

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Twenty-five years of the Wood County Special Olympics’ golf program was celebrated with a bang as Zach Parcher and Maggie Hunt won state championships and James Mozena finished third at state.

The approximately 25 golfers who are part of the Wood County program honed their skills this summer at Tanglewood Golf Course in Perrysburg Township.

Tanglewood owner Tom Blanchard appreciates the challenges these Olympians face because of his daughter, Bethany, 29.

“Because I’ve been involved with my daughter, who has multiple disabilities, seeing the golfers get excited and have the ability and have a sense of accomplishment, that’s the greatest feeling we get. It’s a satisfaction of accomplishment to see the athletes accomplish something they’ve set out for. In many cases, they don’t realize they’re different than other people, and to see them have accomplishment is fantastic. We take so much for granted,” said Blanchard.

“Anytime we can have the athletes participate in an activity and feel part of a team and feel the excitement of competition, it’s a great thing to have.”

“If anybody has the time and compassion to be around a Special Olympic athlete, we welcome them. It’s very gratifying and satisfying to see people help those who are less fortunate,” Blanchard continued.

Wood County Special Olympics coordinator Mary Sehmann says the game allows for a bond to be formed with the athlete and his partner, something that goes far beyond golf.

“Our athletes absolutely love having a partner to golf with each week. The partnership is important for several reasons — sometimes the partner is able to mentor our athletes and sometimes our athletes are able to be a mentor to their partner,” said Sehmann. “Socialization and friendship is high priority and our athletes also look forward to showing off their skills.”

Eric Bostelman, who works as the operations program assistant, talked about the relationship that exists between the golfers and volunteers.

“The experience is great for both the athletes and the volunteers. Both will talk about their golf experiences throughout the year. This often leads to a lasting friendship that extends beyond the golf season. Volunteers are vital to our Special Olympics program and we cannot thank them enough for the time they share with our athletes,” said Bostelman.

“The athlete-volunteer relationship allows the athletes to enhance their skills, but also the opportunity to socialize and increase their self esteem by getting positive feedback from the volunteers. I think

it is a win-win situation for both athletes and volunteers.”

According to Blanchard, for the Wood County athletes, alternating shots with their partner makes for some good golf, too.

“There are about 25 athletes and each athlete has a volunteer that plays along with them. They play an alternate shot with one another,” said Blanchard. “They thoroughly enjoy being out there.

“They have played elsewhere in the past. Because of my involvement — my daughter participates in other events with the chapter — I asked them to try Tanglewood and they came out here. It’s something that’s been in existence for years. This was the first time we’ve had them here. We look forward to having them here.”

Special Olympics was founded nearly 50 years ago, in 1968, by Eunice Kennedy Shriver and has blossomed into a worldwide brand. Today, there are roughly 5.7 million athletes in 172 countries involved.

One of the most prominent athletes to have competed with the organization is Denver Broncos running back Jamaal Charles, who was diagnosed with a learning disability, but found his niche and first realized his athletic abilities competing

with the Special Olympics.

“When I was a boy, I had trouble reading. I found out I had a learning disability.

People made fun of me. They said I would never go anywhere, but I learned I can fly.

When I was 10 years old, I had a chance to compete in the Special Olympics,” Charles said before the crowd at the 2015 Special Olympics World Games. “That’s right — the Special Olympics gave me my first chance to discover the talent I did not know that I had. When I competed in the Special Olympics, I found out just how fast I was.”

As one might expect, there is a strong need for volunteers.

“We are always looking for additional volunteers to partner with our athletes in golf and also to assist our coaches with the nine other sports we train and compete in,” said Sehmann. “We are a year-round program with 500 athletes, so we utilize many volunteers.”

For more information, contact volunteer coordinator Emily Dunipace at 419352-5115 or edunipace@woodlane.us. The program is headquartered at Wood Lane, which is located at the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities campus on 1921 East Gypsy Lane Road in Bowling Green.

Harris-Elmore Library renovation on board agenda

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The board of trustees of the HarrisElmore Public Library may decide at its Oct. 9 meeting if it will proceed with plans for renovating the library building.

Amy Laity, library director, said board members met last week with a Columbusbased architect to discuss the project.

“We’re trying to make a decision on different concepts,” she said. “They would include a meeting room and moving some of the interior around to maximize our space.

If we would go ahead with the project we would probably break ground in the spring and hopefully be done around August.”

About 20 people attended an open house last month at the library to offer their input on what they’d like the renovations to include.

“There was a variety of opinions and I think some people were afraid we wouldn’t be continuing to offer traditional services like books. Others said we should think a little bigger,” Laity said.

Public input also points to a need for a community space and a quiet area to download eBooks or plug in iPads for reading.

Laity said children’s programs have also become more popular.

She said the library would try to complete a project without seeking additional tax dollars.

Bond refinanced The Wood County Commissioners are projecting a savings of about $442,000 from the refinancing of a bond issued to finance major improvements to that county’s district library building in Bowling Green.

The original bond was issued in 2002 and refinanced five years later at an interest rate of 5.5 percent.

The newly financed bond is valued at $2.66 million with an interest rate of 2.16 percent. Bond payments are scheduled to end in December 2027.

In 2001, voters in the district approved a 25-year bond issue that generated $4.95 million for the purpose of renovating and

adding to the existing main public library facility, including equipment, furnishings, parking facilities and other site improvements.

According to the library’s annual report, in 2016 it received $1.4 million from the state public library fund; $999,959 from a local levy; $77,406 from fines and fees; $155,052 from a foundation, and $600,000 from a loan.

In addition to the main library in Bowling Green, the district library also operates a branch in Walbridge and a bookmobile as well as a library in the Wood County Jail.

Oregon to hold hearing on zoning request

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council will hold public hearings on two zoning applications on Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. in council chambers.

Council will review an application for a Special Use in an R-1 Low Density Residential District for the purpose of operating a bed and breakfast in an existing residential built-up property at 5024 Seaman Road. The applicant is Derrick Jaegle.

The second hearing is for a Special Use in an A-1 Agricultural Zoning District for the purpose of commercial vehicle and trailer parking on 1010 North Wynn Road.

The applicant is Clarence Brooks Jr., of Asphalt Materials, Inc., for owner Robert McDonald.

The Oregon Planning Commission voted in favor of both zoning applications at its Sept. 19 meeting.

Bed & Breakfast James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning, said at the Planning Commission meeting that the applicant is seeking a Special Use permit because a Bed and Breakfast is allowed in an R-3 zone,

which is a multi-family zone. However, the property on Seaman is an R-2 zone, which is a residential zone.

Jaegle, the applicant, said he has structured his home with the proper personal protection equipment, as well as egress for all the windows and doors, fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. He said he has an exceptionally large living room, two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs. He also has patios, a large kitchen and two full bathrooms. All applicants are background checked and their ID is authenticated through Airbnb.

Gilmore said a Bed and Breakfast establishment is defined in the zoning code as “any owner occupied dwelling unit that contains no more than four rooms where lodging, with or without means, is provided for compensation.”

Mayor Mike Seferian, who has a seat on the commission, said the city handles requests for any type of change carefully and tries to determine how it would impact the area. He noted that the property across the street is zoned R-2, and if a builder were to request R-3 zoning to build condos on that property, it would likely be approved.

Jaegle’s property, he added, is next to a fire station, which would be a natural buffer to

the neighborhood. He said Jaegle’s request seemed reasonable.

Trailer parking Asphalt Materials has applied for a Special Use permit to change zoning from A-1 Agricultural Zoning to M-1 Light Industrial Zoning at 1010 North Wynn Road.

Gilmore said the zoning change is for the purpose of truck parking in a designated area. Brooks, of Asphalt Materials, said the company doesn’t plan on doing manufacturing at the site, but need space for trailer parking.

Brooks said they would be storing trailers, not materials. He said the trailers would be empty 99.5 percent of the time.

Seferian said the city might work with the company regarding tree screening at the southerly border of the property.

Gilmore said the tree screening is similar to gas stations, which are 50 feet of screening with trees and hedges. Gilmore said requests to change the screening process can go before the Architectural Review Committee.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request, with the stipulation that council specify the designated area for the trailer parking.

Jerusalem Township

Toxic lake Dr. Justin Chaffin, research scientist for The Ohio State University’s Stone Lab and Ohio Sea Grant, along with partners across Ohio and Michigan, have received funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to study what causes Lake Erie algal blooms to become toxic.

The NOAA grant of $248,413 supports the first year of this new research project, part of an anticipated total $749,525 pending availability of future agency funding. The project is funded through the Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Bloom (ECOHAB) research program, administered by the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) in NOAA’s National Ocean Service.

Chaffin, based at Ohio State’s Stone Lab, is partnering with researchers from LimnoTech, Bowling Green State University, Michigan Technological University, The University of Toledo and Wayne State University on the three-year project.

“While forecasting harmful algal bloom size is reasonably accurate right now and real-time sensors in the lake provide the location of the bloom, we still have fundamental questions about what controls when blooms become toxic, and how to predict that toxicity,” said Chaffin, Stone Lab’s research coordinator.

“For this project, we’ll be looking into the environmental factors that influence the dynamics between blooms that produce toxins and blooms that do not produce toxins, along with factors that cause degradation of microcystins in the environment.”

Products to come out of the study will include specific technical guidance to drinking water utilities and other stakeholders on incorporating improved forecasting, including both algae biomass and toxicity, into their daily operations. The scientists also plan to create presentations and tools to share their results.

Credit union celebrates opening The Commodore Perry Federal Credit Union celebrated the opening of its newest branch in Elmore with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 22.

The credit union opened its doors in the historic Bank of Elmore building at the end of August.

“It was great to see the people of Elmore come out to show their support. We have felt very welcomed by the community since we announced plans to open this office, and I really enjoyed meeting some of our new members this morning,” said Mike Barr, president and chief executive officer.

For each new account opened, Commodore Perry is donating to a local charity of the member’s choice. The Elmore Historical Society, the Harris-Elmore Public Library, and the Woodmore Academic, Band, and Choir Boosters will all receive donations from the program.

A disposal facility in Michigan has been authorized to receive waste from the former Brush Berylium plant site near the Village of Luckey, but a decision on whether the Waste Management Evergreen facility in Northwood will be used for disposing material is pending.

According to an update on the cleanup project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a corps safety team visited the Evergreen facility and met with local elected officials and agencies as part of an evaluation of the site but hasn’t made a decision.

The Evergreen facility is being considered for “disposal of a portion of the excavated soils from the (Luckey) site,” according to the corps of engineers.

“USACE will not dispose of any waste at a facility that is not properly permitted to safely accept that waste. USACE will inform the community when a decision is made regarding the use of the Evergreen Recycling and Disposal Facility for disposal of material from the Luckey site,” the update says.

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has given its approval for excavated soils to be disposed at the U.S. Ecology Wayne Disposal Facility, Belleville, The corps in 2015 contracted with Portage, Inc., a company based in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to be the prime contractor for the clean-up project. The site is a former beryllium production facility the Atomic Energy Commission operated in the 1950s as part of the national defense program.

The corps has identified soils contaminated with beryllium, lead, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234 and uranium-238 for removal.

The 40-acre L-shaped parcel includes several trenches, lagoons and waste areas where solutions and sludge from the operation were stored, as well as manufacturing facilities, warehouses and utility buildings.

During a public session in March, Stephen Buechi, project manager for the corps of engineers, said the project priority was to remove contaminated soil.

The corps began conducting air monitoring tests in January around the perimeter of the site.

Clearing work and limited excavation will be conducted while the corps and contractor set up equipment and material, but the main excavation won’t start until after site setup is complete, said Arleen Kreusch, an outreach program specialist for the corps.

A meeting will be scheduled with the community before the actual cleanup begins, she said.

To the editor: I recently attended the Clay-Waite football game and watched the dedication of the new press box in honor of Charles Neal, the highly regarded former Clay High School Band director.

Imagine my surprise to hear recorded music – which was very loud and annoying – at a football game. I question the reason for that, when we have a very classy and talented marching band, which is the envy of many schools.

The recorded music didn’t get me excited about the game at all, but watching the band come marching toward the stadium from the school was most exciting. The 140-some members in perfect step – the cadence, their proud strut and the cheering for them, was most exciting.

How ironic that the recorded music was coming from the press box named for a popular band director and built with private donations. The ultimate insult was the recorded music was played over the band – it was like a competition.

Let the band have their Friday nights at the football game solo so they can strut their stuff and show off their musical talents.

Cat lessons To the editor: Lessons from Europe could teach us here in America how to help overcome the homeless cat problem we are experiencing throughout the country: Scotland is considering a proposal to require all cats to be neutered and microchipped, and Brussels recently passed a law requiring all cats over six months to be sterilized starting in 2018. They lead the way in addressing the overpopulation crisis at its source and humanely and sensibly reducing animal homelessness and the resulting need for euthanasia in shelters.

But instead of supporting proactive

steps like these, some people deny that the problem exists and pressure shelters to avoid euthanasia at all costs. This only worsens the crisis, as shelters refuse to accept animals when they run out of room and animals are abandoned to “fend for themselves” on the streets—where they starve, are killed in traffic, abused by cruel

Even when a situation doesn’t turn out as planned, you don’t have to endure whatever you are facing. Life may not always be fair, but you can make the best of your circumstances. Apply the principle that there is a solution for every problem. Instead of looking for these solutions, those who endure make excuses.

Look for, and focus on, the good in any situation. Concentrate on abundance, not lack. It doesn’t matter what other people have or don’t have. Keep things in perspective. Look at the big picture of your life, rather than getting caught up in insignificant issues. Appreciate each day as the gift it is.

On the weekends, is Sunday diminished because it’s the day before another Monday?

Life is not meant to be an endurance test. Each day is a gift which should be savored. Your attitude is the factor which determines whether you are living or enduring. This is because your attitude shapes your perception, which in turn defines your reality.

People who are living their lives look forward to what they get to do each day.

Those who are enduring complain about what they’ve got to do each day. The difference is appreciating all of your blessings and what you do have, versus constantly being upset about what you feel is lacking.

Giraffes are listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as a vulnerable species with declining population due to four main causes: habitat loss, civil unrest, illegal hunting/poaching and ecological changes. The Zoo participates in an Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP) to help preserve a healthy and genetically diverse captive population of this intriguing species.

The Toledo Zoo is open daily at 10 a.m. and is located on the Anthony Wayne Trail (US 25), four miles south of downtown Toledo.

“

The Toledo Zoo welcomed to the world a new female Masai giraffe, born in the late afternoon hours of Thursday, Sept. 21.

The new female, named Binti which means daughter in Swahili, weighs 134 pounds and stands approximately six feet two inches tall. Both mother, Tuli, and Binti are doing well and bonding off exhibit. The new family will remain off exhibit until examined and cleared for debut by Zoo veterinarians and animal care staff.

Once on exhibit, Binti will join Tuli, Elli, Charlotte, Bahati, Trevor and Kipenzi along with zebras, wildebeests, kudus, warthogs and more in the Africa! exhibit on the North Side of the Zoo. Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) are the tallest land mammals, standing 14-18 feet tall as adults. There are nine recognized sub-species of giraffes from all across southern and eastern Africa. Each giraffe has a unique spot pattern, but giraffes from the same geographical area appear similar.

The Zoo’s Masai giraffes are native to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and have distinct oak leaf spot patterns that serve as camouflage in the African plains.

Giraffes typically give birth standing up. The offspring are known as calves and are born front feet and head first. The calf takes a dramatic but not harmful approximate six-foot fall to the ground, causing it to take in a big deep breath. After about an hour the calf can walk and nurse and will begin eating vegetation at around a week old.

In the wild, until the calf is old enough to join the tower, it is hidden in vegetation to protect it from predators. When the calf finally joins the group, all the females will

Inspirational Message of the Week: Make a Difference

6KRS 1RUWKZRRG

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

Hayes Library & Museums

Expert on Nixon’s secret tapes to speak An expert on President Richard Nixon’s secret Oval Office recordings will give the annual Lecture on the Presidency on Sunday, Oct. 8, at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums.

Luke Nichter, who has been interviewed on national TV and in publications, will discuss “A decade with the Nixon tapes: What we have learned, and what we have yet to learn.”

“It’s probably the best record we have in U.S. history of how the government runs,” Nichter said of the tapes.

The tapes ultimately implicated Nixon in the Watergate scandal, which led to his resignation.

Ironically, the Nixon administration at that time was called one of the most secretive in U.S. history, Nichter said. “It’s now, over time, becoming one of the most transparent.”

Nichter will speak at 1:30 p.m. in the museum auditorium. Wine and light hors d’oeuvres will be available at the beginning of the event. A reception with wine and hors d’oeuvres will follow at 2:30 p.m.

Nichter is an associate professor of history at Texas A&M University, the history book review editor for research journal “Presidential Studies Quarterly,” and a visiting fellow at the Norwegian Nobel Institute.

He is a New York Times bestselling au-

Nichter also is working on a biography of diplomat Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. Nichter, who grew up in Perrysburg and Weston, Ohio, began studying Nixon while at Bowling Green State University. His interest began when a professor advised him to work on something that hadn’t been done yet. Most of the Nixon tapes had not yet been reviewed and transcribed.

When he was still at BGSU, Henry Kissinger, Nixon’s secretary of state, asked Nichter to meet with him about the tapes.

Nichter plans to share more details of this story during the Lecture on the Presidency.

Nichter is still working on transcribing the Nixon tapes, and most reveal something new or interesting to him.

Nixon met with musician Ray Charles in the Oval Office in 1972, and Charles told Nixon about a neighbor who played the piano and inspired him to do the same.

“Ray Charles told this incredible story that I’ve never heard anywhere else,” Nichter said. “To me, that’s the real value of the tapes. It’s not just the presidency or Nixon.

“The tapes are like a time capsule of the era, of Americana of the ‘60s and ‘70s,” he said.

Tickets are $25 per person. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 419-332-2081, ext. 238.

Before the lecture, a wreath-laying ceremony will take place at 1 p.m. at President Rutherford B. Hayes’ tomb.

The ceremony is in honor of President Hayes’ birthday, which is Oct. 4. Military representatives sent by President Donald Trump will lay the wreath. This ceremony is free and open to the public.

Lecture on the Presidency is sponsored by National Machinery Foundation and ProMedica Memorial Hospital.

Treasurer has sweet message for energy dept.

To sweeten his message to the U.S. Energy Department, Cajon Keeton, treasurer of the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District, included cookies he baked in the shape of the cooling tower on the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant.

The cookies were recently sent to energy secretary Rick Perry as a reminder that nuclear power is carbon free and to urge the energy department to consider nuclear as part of the mix of baseload generation in the country.

Davis-Besse is located in the B-C-S district. FirstEnergy, the plant’s parent company, has said it may shutter or sell the plant if additional fees aren’t approved.

Comets, ‘Cats gridiron clash dates back over 50 years

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The rivalry between Woodmore and Genoa goes further than the seven miles on Route 51 that separate the two high schools.

Even though Genoa has dominated the matchup in recent years, it goes back to the 1980s, 1990s when the Wildcats had a strong program and took their share against their Ottawa County rivals.

The two teams have been in the same conference since the forming of the Suburban Lakes League in the early 1970s and even before Woodmore’s forming 50 years ago, it was Woodville and Elmore High Schools that occasionally had Genoa on their schedule. Since Genoa has had football nearly 100 years, it is possible that rivarly dates back even further.

Both coaches are fully aware of how special this rivalry is.

“I think there are so many kids who know each other, and the families know each other,” said Genoa coach Paul Patterson. “It’s two small communities where the kids have grown up playing each other and the towns are very similar.”

Current Woodmore head coach Lou Bosh was an assistant under then head coach Mike Lee and was part of some of the historic games between the teams in the 1990s when both were regularly competing for Suburban Lakes League titles. Lee, who was the head coach at Clay just one year ago, is now back coaching the Wildcats as an assistant to Bosh.

“Having the close proximity, the kids know each other and are familiar with each other. And being in the same league, the teams are challenging for position in the league standings,” said Bosh. “The kids compete and want to have bragging rights.”

This season find the Comets opening the season with a 4-1 record and a 1-1 mark in the Northern Buckeye Conference following a tough 35-32 loss at Otsego while the Wildcats are 1-4 and 0-2 in the conference.

Genoa’s loss saw Otsego junior quarterback Mitchell Downs score on an 8-yard touchdown run with under a minute to play, giving the Knights a well-celebrated victory. To make matters worse, the Comets lost quarterback Jake Plantz and two-way lineman Hunter Simmons for the season because of injuries. Simmons is second on the team with 29 tackles.

Plantz went down during the team’s win over the Lake, and he wasn’t hit—he was just dropping back to pass and at first just appeared to hyperextend his knee, but the injury turned out to be enough to end his junior season. Simmons was hurt in the loss to Otsego, and at the same time, multiple other Genoa players suffered from heat exhaustion in that game because of near-90 degree heat during the day.

However, Genoa has a team capable of overcoming those injuries as junior quarterback Caleb McGeorge has replaced Plantz (28-of-46 passing for 503 yards and 5 TD) under center. Patterson believes that his Comets will continue to put up big offensive numbers as McGeorge gets more experience at the quarterback position.

“Caleb is a kid who’s like Jake and he played a little last year. He led us on a touchdown drive last year in the playoff game,” said Patterson. “It’s good to have a backup with a little experience that the kids all trust.”

Genoa running back Noah Edwards well on his way to scoring on a long touchdown run in the loss at Otsego. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) Halfway through the season, Genoa running back Noah Edwards had alerady run for 1,010 yards and 17 touchdowns while Josiah Bradfield has also contributed, carrying the ball 42 times for 264 yards and three scores. Bradfield has also caught 10 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns.

Defensively, Drew Bench leads the way with 36 tackles, followed by Simmons (29), Kaleb Kuhlman (23), Nathan Lewis (20), Dan Novotney (18), Jake Bradfield (17), Josiah Bradfield (17) and Edwards (17).

The Comets’ four wins have come against Scott, Perkins, Oak Harbor and Lake.

After five weeks, Genoa was ranked sixth in Division V, Region 18 with 6.55 points.

Perhaps Genoa’s most impressive win was its 52-14 victory over the Pirates.

Edwards had a monster game, carrying the ball 17 times for 277 yards and five touchdowns while Bradfield had 10 rushes for 71 yards and a score.

Big plays also keyed the Comets’ win over Oak Harbor, a game that saw Edwards score two touchdowns, one on a 79-yard scamper and the other on a 41-yard punt return, and rush 16 times for 135 yards while Plantz completed 10-of-17 passes for 207 yards and three scores. Bradfield caught three passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns, and Bench had 2 catches for 95 yards and a TD. Woodmore has had a tougher opening stretch, losing four games and defeating

Osborn’s conversion from line to fullback a perfect fit

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Maybe it was fate that put a football in Blake Osborn’s hands back in eighth grade.

Lake’s senior fullback – yes, there are still fullbacks in this age of the spread offense – started out as a linemen in middle school. His destiny, however, was to run with a football tucked under one arm.

“Growing up, my middle school team barely had any kids,” said Osborn, who now stands six feet tall and weighs 210 pounds. “I was always on the line, but I was always one of the fastest kids on the team. I just wanted a chance (to be a running back) and the coaches gave me a chance. We won one game (in eighth grade) that year, but me and my team thought it was a good change for me.”

Lake coach Mark Emans has referred to Osborn as a “prototypical fullback.”

The coach expected big production out of Osborn this season, after Osborn rushed for 736 yards and eight touchdowns on 136 carries as a junior.

“He’s more of an old-school fullback,” Emans said. “He lines up behind the quarterback, who used to be under center. With offenses today and using the shotgun (formation), that probably isn’t his best suit but he does it well. He does best when he’s moving forward, the old three-yards-and-acloud of dust fullback.”

Tell that to Elmwood’s defense. Last Friday, the Royals watched Osborn run for 99 yards and sophomore Scott Mackiewicz add 91 yards on the ground in a 38-0 loss to the Flyers. Lake improved to 3-2 and 1-1 in the Northern Buckeye Conference with the win, as the defense held Elmwood to 44 total yards and one first down.

“We put our big-boy pants on and really went after them,” Emans said. “Hopefully, we can build on that.”

Osborn leads the Flyers in rushing, with 482 yards on 90 carries. He’s reached the end zone 12 times.

“He’s not a real shifty kid,” Emans said, “but our running backs coach (Josh Andrews) has done a nice job with Blake’s feet and helping him be able to read his

Lake senior fullback Blake Osborn finds running room in the Flyers' win over Northwood. (Press photo by Don Thompson/Facebook.com/DNRsport) blocking on the run. Blake has done a great job for us and I’m really happy for him.”

Osborn is a first-year starter at defensive end, but he rotates in and out at that

position in order to stay fresh on offense.

He said he enjoys playing defense “because I like to hit,” but he prefers having the ball in his hands on offense.

“I like to move the ball down the field and rely on my linemen to help me out,” Osborn said. “If I succeed, I get to congratulate them for succeeding, too. Except for our tight end, we have one sophomore and four juniors on the line and they’ve done a really nice job.”

No offense to Lake’s opponents, but Osborn said the hardest he’s ever been hit was his freshman year, when he was the Flyers’ scout team running back.

“That’s when I got thrown around a lot,” he said, “and I think that’s helped me.”

Osborn added that the win over Elmwood boosted the team’s confidence.

The Flyers opened the season with wins over Lakota and Northwood, then lost backto-back games against Archbold and Genoa.

“Last year we were 4-6 and our confidence went down last year,” Osborn said.

“This year, we kept our heads high after two straight losses and we were able to gain our confidence back. To be able to go out and do that and get some revenge, that felt good.”

Osborn has a 3.8 GPA and is a member of student council. He doesn’t plan to play football in college so that he can “focus on my education.” He plans to major in physical therapy and attend Owens Community College for two years, then possibly transfer to the University of Toledo.

“He is very mature for his age,” Emans said. “He had a job this summer where he was working 45 hours a week, and he comes from a great family. His mom and dad (Holli and Tom) have done a nice job of raising him right. He’s going to be very successful with whatever he chooses to do in the future.”

Osborn will concede that the Flyers’ No. 1 goal is to win their remaining five games. He’s just as interested to see how he and his teammates compete between the white lines when it counts.

“We haven’t been able to win every game, but from this point on, being my last year, I want everyone to go out there and give it their all,” Osborn said. “That’s all I really care about, just going out and playing with my family. We didn’t expect to go 10-0, but being successful, in my eyes, as long as you give it your all, that’s all I really care about.”

Owens volleyball makes history — reaches No. 1 nationally The Press Box The Owens Community College women’s volleyball team has ascended to the No. 1 spot in the latest National Junior College Athletic Association Division II poll.

It is the first time in the history of the program that the team has achieved the No. 1 ranking at the Division II level. Playing a key role on the team this year is 5-foot2 freshman defensive specialist Cassidy Wlodarz (Cardinal Stritch).

The program has been knocking on the door of the top spot since last season.

After spending the final four weeks of 2016 ranked No. 2, Owens finished third in the country at the NJCAA Division II national tournament, which was the highest finish in program history at the Division II level.

Then, the team opened this year at No. 3 in the rankings and spent two weeks there before moving up to No. 2 for the past two weeks.

This week’s ranking also gives Owens 12 straight weeks ranked in the nation’s top five dating back to Sept. 13 of last year.

Furthermore, Owens has spent 23 straight weeks ranked in the top 10 — dating back to the Aug. 19, 2015 poll.

Owens has opened the season with a 20-0 record overall, which is the best start in program history. The team is also 6-0 in Ohio Community College Athletic Conference play entering last weekend’s home matches against Clark State Community College and Edison State Community College.

The team also opened the season by winning its first 48 sets played, which is a program record. The streak ended with an opening set loss to No. 20 Des Moines Area two weeks ago.

That same Saturday and Sunday Owens lost a set to Des Moines, Owens picked up match victories over No. 1 Parkland College, No. 8 Lincoln Land, No. 15 McHenry County and No. 20 Des Moines. Parkland is the two-time defending national champion, and Lincoln Land is the two-time defending national runnerup. Lincoln Land also defeated Owens in last year’s national semifinals, so the win exacted a bit of revenge there, as well. The win over Des Moines Area was the second of the season for Owens.

With the win over Parkland, Owens won a battle of undefeated teams in a one vs. two match-up. Not only did the loss end a 44-match overall winning streak for Parkland, who had not even been forced to five sets by an NJCAA Division II team since a 3-2 win over Lincoln Land on Sept.

15, 2015, but it was Parkland’s first loss to an NJCAA Division II team since the national title game vs. Glendale on Nov. 22, 2014 — nearly 140 matches ago. Parkland has been to four straight national title matches, including victories in the past two. On top of that, Parkland had won nine straight against Owens dating back to Sept.

Wildcat soccer back in the race for conference title

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Woodmore’s boys’ soccer team does a lot of things well, but the Wildcats excel at one aspect in particular.

“We usually control the game through our midfielders,” said coach Carlo Pocino, in his 13th season. “Midfield controls the game, and when you have a strong defense, the midfielders know the defense will stop (opponents).”

The ‘Cats are searching for their first Northern Buckeye Conference title since winning back-to-back championships in 2011 and ‘12. Woodmore, which finished third last year behind Lake and Eastwood, is ranked 10th in Division III in the latest Northwest Ohio Soccer Coaches’ poll.

Pocino said he is surprised – and yet not surprised - that the Wildcats took a 9-3 (6-1 NBC) record into Thursday night’s rematch against fourth-ranked Lake. The Flyers (9-2) beat the Wildcats, 2-0, on Aug. 31. Woodmore has outscored its first 12 opponents by a 46-19 margin.

“We’ve played some really tough teams,” Pocino said. “We played real well against all of them, but we made a lot of mistakes which cost us. Otherwise, we’re playing very well.”

The ‘Cats opened the season on Aug. 22 with a 4-3 loss to Oak Harbor (9-3-1), which was ranked ninth in last week’s D-II state coaches’ poll. Four days later, Woodmore lost at 13th-ranked Elida, 3-0.

The Bulldogs, a Division II program, are 10-0 this season with nine shutouts.

Pocino said Woodmore has been without three key players this season.

Sophomore defender Daniel Giesler has missed the entire season with a back injury, and junior midfielder Noah Whitney had ACL surgery last week. Sophomore defender Dean Walter has had issues with a pulled muscle and hasn’t played at all.

“We moved some other players into those positions and they’re doing better,” Pocino said. “A couple of kids came up and are playing much better. We’re doing OK.

We could be better, but life is what it is.

Most of these guys have played as a unit the last three years. They’re jelling more and I expect them to get better as time goes on.”

Senior forward Eli Rogers leads the team in scoring, with 13 goals and eight assists, while junior forward Alec Garcia has a team-high 14 goals with three assists.

“Eli is really fast,” Pocino said. “He’s got some good moves and a very powerful shot. Alec has good speed and a good left foot. He has a tendency to pass more, which is good and which is what I want to see. He’s a lot stronger as far as controlling the ball and keeping it away from defensive players.”

Junior center midfielder Brandon Blausey, who has five goals and two assists, “is a consistent player and he runs his heart out,” according to Pocino.

Senior Cole Cutchall and junior Sam Barbee (2 goals, 3 assists) play middle defense and can more than hold their own, Pocino said.

“They’re very tough back there,” he said. “Cole is very fast and Sam is the first guy to stop anybody getting through. If they do, they usually don’t get by Cole.”

Other key defenders are senior Miguel Galvan, junior Ethan Mason and sophomores Cade Burrough and Dylan Grant.

“They’re very strong,” Pocino said.

“They usually don’t let anybody get by them on defense. They usually play pretty tall back there.”

Sophomore midfielder Paul Koenig

has four goals and one assist, while juniors Hayden Heidelbrink and Cole Anthony have two goals apiece. Senior keeper Kevin Paul is a three-year starter.

“He has good reflexes and he knows where to put himself,” Pocino said. “He controls the backfield fairly well. The kids know they are OK in the back because we have a good goalie. They’re confident they have a good person behind them, so they play better on defense.”

The Wildcats reached the D-III sectional finals last season before losing to Lake, 2-1.

“We want to make a run in the state playoffs and see how far we can go,” Pocino said. “We would like to get a district trophy out of it. Hopefully, everybody will be healthy and we can field enough people to make it happen.”

OCTOBER 2, 2017

Now that Stritch has a win under its belt, what next?

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Cardinal Stritch’s 48-38 win over Danbury on a week five Saturday afternoon was significant for several reasons, the first being that it was the Cardinals’ inaugural win under new coach Bryan Dudash.

The victory also helped the Cardinals (1-4) equal last season’s win total. They also won the turnover battle against the Lakers and never trailed. Dudash was the head coach at Danbury from 2012-14.

“It was huge,” he said of the win. “I’ve been telling them since our first game that we were really close. We kept having some internal mistakes and shooting ourselves in the foot a little bit. We have to learn how to finish out a game, finish a drill, finish a rep, finish a practice. We finished the game last Saturday.”

The Lakers (2-3) managed to run for 486 yards against Stritch’s defense, but sophomore defensive back Ben Dunsmore returned an interception for a touchdown in the second quarter and the Cardinals forced two other turnovers. Senior quarterback Shaun Enright threw for nearly 350 yards with five touchdown tosses.

“Danbury came back and punched us in the mouth and we kept responding and kept making plays, and that was huge,” Dudash said. “By no means did we shut them down. The biggest thing is, we did throw the ball well. They had some very young athletes on the field and we were able to take advantage with our more experienced kids.”

Shaun Enright has completed 61 of 97 passes (62 percent) for 906 yards and eight touchdowns, with three interceptions. Enright missed some action early in the season, but Dudash said he has “really come on strong.”

“Not having him for the first game, we did not spend a lot of time in the summer getting ready for him to be our quarterback,” Dudash said. “Since he’s come back, he’s really worked hard. I wish he was a junior or a sophomore doing what he’s doing. He’s still rusty at some things, but he’s a natural leader who throws the ball really well. He wants to have success, not just personally but as a team.”

Sophomore receiver Andrew Enright makes a play on a ball thrown by his brother, senior quarterback Shawn Enright Jr. (Press photo by Doug Karns/CardinalStritch.org) Junior Paul Latz, a safety and slot receiver/running back who played quarterback for the first couple of games, is 17-for30 passing for 206 yards and two touchdowns, with four interceptions. He is the team’s leading rusher with 222 yards on 43 carries, and he has 25 receptions for 312

yards and two scores.

“Paul has been phenomenal,” Dudash said. “I could not ask for anything more out of a player. He’s making plays, and defensively he’s one of our top two tacklers. He banged up an ankle a little bit on Saturday and I kept asking him, ‘can you give me one

play?’ He caught a little shovel pass and took it in for the touchdown, basically on one leg.”

Dunsmore is Stritch’s top receiver, with 37 catches for 572 yards and seven touchdowns. Sophomore Andrew Enright, who has also played quarterback, has 12 catches for 159 yards.

Senior Kyle Boehm has rushed for 147 yards on 30 carries, and Shaun Enright has 32 carries for 98 yards and three touchdowns.

The Cardinals have not been as successful running the ball as they’d like. They only have three rushing touchdowns in five games and are averaging less than 102 rushing yards per game. Stritch has thrown for 1,136 yards.

“It’s coming,” Dudash said of the ground game. “We’re trying to get guys back.

One of our running backs (Cam Webb) had a sprained ankle and we kept him out the first couple games. Another guy (Boehm) got hurt and we’re trying to get guys back and running on two legs again.”

Dudash said he has seen some improvement on defense, although the Cardinals are allowing 41.8 points a game.

He said the younger players are learning their role and getting acclimated to varsity competition.

“We’re learning to gang tackle better and learning not to take plays off,” Dudash said. “We have to work from the first whistle to the last. We’re getting better. We’re trying to work through some things and simplify things for them to keep playing hard and fast. It’s coming along.”

Beating Danbury was a steppingstone, and Dudash said that positive vibe should help when the Cardinals finish the season against Edon (0-5), Colonel Crawford (14), Northwood (2-3), Gibsonburg (4-1) and Ottawa Hills (3-2).

“Talking to the coaches (on Sunday), the enthusiasm is back and some energy is back with the coaches and players,” Dudash said. “They can feel it. They feel the success from all the hard work they put in. I think it’s gonna play out for us pretty well, but the tough part of our schedule is coming up. This will help us stay energized and keep working and continue to fight and get better. Knowing this group, they are not going to stop.”

THE PRESS

Ball State’s Heintschel candidate for award Ball State senior goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel (Clay) is one of 30 candidates nationwide for the 2017 Senior CLASS Award for women’s soccer.

An Academic All-American, Heintschel was identified along with her fellow candidates based on notable achievements in four areas: community, classroom, character and competition.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

Heintschel epitomizes the term student-athlete, exhibiting excellence on the field of play and away from it. Not only has she been voted to the All-MAC First Team in each of the past two seasons, but she also maintains a 4.0 GPA as a chemistry and pre-med major.

Heintschel was named to the Academic

All-America Third Team as a junior.

Her 0.76 career goals against average ranks first in Ball State history and 11th among all active NCAA Division I keepers.

A three-year captain as selected by her teammates, Heintschel has served on Ball State’s StudentAthlete Advisory Alyssa Heintschel Committee since her freshman year. She has been eager to share her academic knowledge and athletic skill with others in her roles as a teaching assistant on campus, tutor in her hometown and volunteer instructor for soccer camps.

Heintschel helped Ball State win backto-back MAC regular season champion-

ships in 2015 and 2016 and reach as high as No. 40 in the NCAA RPI last year. The Cardinals will begin their defense of those crowns Friday when night when they open league play at Bowling Green.

Ball State has now had a player selected as a Senior CLASS Award candidate in each of the past three seasons (Madison Oyer in 2015 and Leah Mattingly in 2016).

Heintschel is the only player from the MAC to make the list this year.

The candidate class will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplify excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.

The winner will be announced during the 2017 NCAA Women’s College Cup® in December.
