Kovacs wins judge seat By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Louis S. Kovacs beat three contenders on Tuesday to become the new municipal court judge in Oregon. He replaces Oregon Municipal Court Judge Jeffrey B. Keller, who is retiring. Kovacs, according to unofficial results from the Lucas County Board of Elections, won with 2,478 votes, followed by Clinton J. Wasserman, who had 2,038 votes, Anne M. Brossia, with 699 votes, and Scott A. Winckowski, with 613 votes. On Wednesday following the election, Kovacs, who lives in Jerusalem Township, attributed his win to his extensive legal experience, as an acting judge, who has all the powers, duties and responsibilities of a judge. “The message we were trying to send is that I have had 29 years of legal experience as an attorney, and 12 years as an acting judge,” he told The Press. “It apparently resonated with a lot of people.” He received his law degree from the University of Toledo in 1988. He then became an assistant prosecutor in Defiance County. Kovacs has been employed with Gallon, Takacs, Boissoneault & Schaffer since 1989 as a general practice attorney, specializing in criminal, traffic defense, domestic relations, and consumer bankruptcy law. Since 2005, he has been an acting judge in the Oregon Municipal Court, serving under both Judge Ronald Z. Petroff and Judge Keller. “I’m still an attorney until I’m sworn

in as municipal court judge in January,” he said, adding that he is “very much” looking forward to his new position. Once he becomes judge, he is required to leave employment at Gallon, Takacs, Boissoneault & Schaffer. “I’m giving my practice up. I can’t practice law when I become a full-time judge,” he said. New trustee There was an upset in Jerusalem Township with newcomer Beau Miller beating Ronald J. Sheahan, one of two incumbents who were running for re-election. Township Trustee David Bench, 67, was the top vote getter with 637 votes. He is a self-employed farmer with Bench Farms. Miller came in second with 360 votes, followed by former clerk-treasurer Julie A. VanNest at 337 votes. Sheahan came in last with 272 votes. Miller, 36, attributed his win to some residents saying they felt ignored by trustees. “When I was campaigning, many people said there really was no communication with the trustees. I think they want someone to talk to, to answer their questions and work with and for them,” he said. “They want a phone call back when they have questions. People said they weren’t getting calls returned. A lot of people said that.” He said Bench is one of the most popular trustees in the township. “Dave gets the ball rolling on a lot of projects,” said Miller. “He takes the bull by the horns and runs with it.” Miller said he was surprised he beat Sheahan, since he has never before run for public office. “It’s been very humbling to win. It was a total shock on the night of the election. Some people said they knew I would win. But I couldn’t tell who voters were leaning toward,” he said. Miller has been a member of the Jerusalem Township Fire Department and dive team for 13 years. He is partner/owner of Ottawa Products Company in the township.

Soil from Luckey clean-up not going to local landfill By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com At least one waste stream from the clean-up project at the former Brush Beryllium plant site near the Village of Luckey won’t be disposed at the Evergreen landfill in Northwood In a project update, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it would not dispose of soils from the plant site at the landfill, which is operated by Waste Management. Arleen K. Kreusch, a spokesperson for the Corps’ environmental project management team, said the decision was made af-

ter a “thorough evaluation.” The Evergreen facility was one of two disposal sites the Corps had been considering for disposal as soils and other contaminated materials are removed during the project; the other site, the U.S. Ecology Wayne Disposal Facility, Belleville, Mich., received approval from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to receive soils. Kreusch said some soil and materials have already been transported to the Michigan facility. “We completed removing several non-hazardous soil and debris stockpiles from the (Luckey) site,” she said. “These materials were safely shipped and disposed

from $899

at U.S. Ecology Michigan. We began limited excavation of lead-contaminated soils to support site setup activities. The soils are being transported to the U.S. Ecology facility by trucks hauling lined dump trailers. The soils will be treated at the facility before they are placed in the landfill.” 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 contam-

inated 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. Forum cancelled A public forum scheduled for Nov. 14 to discuss the clean-up project has been cancelled. The forum was to be held in the auditorium at the Northwood schools complex but was cancelled by Mayor Ed Schimmel.

Lake Twp., Genoa schools approve levies Voters were agreeable to increasing their taxes in Lake Township and the Genoa Area School District but were less generous in other jurisdictions in last week’s election. According to unofficial results, a 0.5mill, 5-year property tax was levy approved by voters in the Genoa district: 1,080 for to 1,034 against. School officials promoted the levy by stressing there would be no net increase in taxes for property owners because the administration has refinanced bonds issued to help finance the construction of the elementary and middle schools, resulting in the Ottawa County auditor being able to rollback the bond millage by 0.5 mill. The district plans to use the revenues from the levy to upgrade its technology, including the purchase of more Chromebooks for students so every student has access to one. Levy revenues may also be used to update software, network servers and WiFi systems. Bill Nye, district treasurer, said the auditor will roll back the bond millage and add the levy millage to go into effect January 2018. “This is a great thing for Genoa schools,” Nye said. “Technology is here to stay.” Nye plans to meet with the district’s

Technology is here to stay. technology director to prepare a plan for the board of education to consider for initiating the purchases. EMS levy passes easily In Lake Township, voters overwhelmingly approved an additional 1-mill, continuous levy to fund 24-hour emergency paramedic service: 1,693 for to 581 against. The township’s contract with Lifestar for the emergency service expires next year. Under that agreement, the township has been providing an emergency vehicle and equipment while Lifestar has been staffing the service with two paramedics per shift. The additional millage is projected to generate about $230,204 annually. A 0.8-mill levy has been used to help fund the current service. Fire Chief Bruce Moritz said the township’s own fire and EMS departments are staffed by volunteers who’ve been responding to a steadily increasing call volume. In 2016, the departments made 1,185 runs – about 77 percent of which were for emergency medical service.

Police Chief Mark Hummer attributed the levy’s support to Moritz and township trustees “getting the message out it was a necessity.” In the Village of Genoa, voters rejected a request for a 2-mill, 5-year levy that would have been used to purchase equipment and training for the village police department: for 245 to 264 against. Voters in the Gibsonburg School District rejected a replacement income tax: 674 – for to 755 against. Superintendent Tim Murray said the board of education has decided to try again in May. “We have not decided on the amount. Tough day around here, but we will go back to the drawing board,” he said Wednesday.

Walendzak, with 3,211 votes, James S. Seaman, 2,893 votes, and Terrance E. Reeves, with 2,768 votes. Louis S. Kovacs Voters also returned Carol-Ann Molnar and Mike Csehi to the Oregon City School Board. Molnar received 3,549 votes, and Csehi received 3,236 votes. The Oregon City Schools District also saw a five-year 2.0-mill Permanent Improvement Levy renewed by a vote of 3,810 to 2,050. Voters have supported the levy for nearly 50 years, according to Superintendent Hal Gregory. The money will be used to maintain the infrastructure of school facilities, provide updated curriculum materials for students, continue direct access to technology for students, and for safety upgrades and unexpected repairs, he said. “This money does not pay for salaries or any personnel costs. It is strictly used for purchases of items that have a five-year or better usable life span,” said Gregory. All three incumbents on the Northwood school board were re-elected. Amy M. Romstadt won 683 votes, followed by Jeffrey S. Dunlap with 528 votes, and Chuck Turner with 490 votes.

Beazley is staying despite lure By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

It’s important to me that we see those things through.

“

It’s been no secret that Toledo Mayorelect Wade Kapszukiewicz hoped to lure Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley to serve in his new administration should he win in the general election. And although Kapszukiewicz won the mayor’s seat last Tuesday, Beazley has committed only to serve on a task force to help the new mayor assemble his administration. Beazley told The Press last week that he’s staying put in Oregon. “Wade and I have talked about this, and we’ll continue to talk about it,” said Beazley last Wednesday. “I’ve been around a long time, so I’ve played a lot of roles. I’ve had a lot of experience and a lot of local public policy areas, and I enjoy it.” For now, he’s serving in an advisory capacity for Kapszukiewicz. “I’ve agreed to help with the transition for Toledo’s new mayoral administration. We’re talking about ways I can continue to be involved in moving the communities and region forward. But my goal and expectation is to do that from my seat as administrator in Oregon.”

Scaling back Beazley said he’s involved in 10 committees and boards not only in the Toledo area, such as the Imagination Station and the land bank, but also in Columbus. He will likely scale back his involvement to free up time to help Toledo’s new administration, he said. “I will be looking at trimming back my involvement in some of my board work, and maybe serving in some committee

roles in the City of Toledo. I’ve made no decisions other than I will stay on as Oregon’s City Administrator, but also to play a leadership role in the transition for the new Toledo administration,” he said. “We have a lot going on in Oregon. I enjoy my job. We’ve been working on so many things in Oregon over time. It’s important to me that we see those things through.” He has talked with Mayor Mike Seferian on his upcoming role in Toledo. “Mayor Seferian and I have talked about ways we can make this work. I’ve talked to council leadership on how I can make this work. So we’ll see.” Beazley was appointed to the city administrator position in March 2010 soon after Seferian was elected mayor. Sixty people had submitted resumes for the post, but Seferian had his eye on Beazley, who was administrator of Lucas County at the time. Seferian noted how much in demand he was due to his extensive experience in leadership positions in local government and public policy for over 25 years. “Mike Beazley has never applied for a job since his career started,” Seferian said upon his appointment of Beazley. “People have always come after him.”

New Foundation director resigns By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Dave Dorner, who was hired as executive director of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation (OEDF) on May 29, has resigned. Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley said Dorner left to take a job at the University of Toledo. “He got a great opportunity,” said Beazley. Dorner will work on a business incubator that will help improve the local economy, he added. “He’s very good at that. He wasn’t seeking the job. He had conversations with them before he even came to Oregon. They reached out to him. We’re excited for him,” said Beazley. All good Dorner joins some former executive directors who left the Foundation to take jobs either at the University of Toledo, the Regional Growth Partnership of Northwest Ohio, or other economic development groups that also help the city, Beazley noted. “The fact we got former economic development directors running the regional growth partnership, and in leadership ini-

tiatives at the University of Toledo is all good for Oregon as we want to make sure we maximize the opportunities for projects in Oregon,” said Beazley. Former executive director Dean Monske, for example, is CEO of the Regional Growth Partnership of Northwest Ohio. The Foundation is a public/private partnership between the business community and the City of Oregon, which contributes funds to the organization. The city has made a $70,000 annual contribution to the Foundation for the last five years. The city used to match the amount that was raised by the Foundation, which gets its funding mostly from membership dues and fundraising, but now provides a set amount. A new search Timothy Pedro, the Foundation’s board president, said he was sorry to see Dorner go. “We were very fortunate to have good leadership of the Foundation over the years. When we got Dave, he brought a whole other element to our efforts for economic development. He was working on some really neat things for the board. We found out he got recruited by the University of Toledo. We’ll be looking for another executive director candidate very soon.”

Future of MetroParks to be discussed. MaƩ Cleland, deputy director of Metroparks Toledo, will speak about the future direcƟon of the park system when he appears before the East Toledo Club. Cleland will address two local projects; the Marina District park and Howard farms, the largest Metropark, which is located in Jerusalem Township. The talk is open to the public.

Thurs. Nov. 16 at 12:30 p.m. at the East Toledo Senior Center The Senior Center is located at 1001 White Street in Navarre Park between Woodville and Navarre.

Dorner was one of three candidates that the board had seriously considered for the post before they chose Dorner. They will be reviewing those resumes again. “We very well could go out and look for more,” he said. Interim basis Dorner’s resignation was effective on Nov. 3, but he will continue to help the Foundation until a new executive director is at the helm, said Pedro. “We just talked today about a project, so he’s going to be available to us on an interim basis for the next couple of weeks,” Pedro said last Wednesday. “With Dave’s willingness to be involved and available to us, we have a little flexibility to find someone. But the sooner we find an executive director the better. We want to bring someone on board.” Dorner replaced Lindsay Myers, who was hired as executive director of the Foundation in 2012. The executive director plans, organizes and directs activities to enhance economic development in the city. The executive director is responsible for the development, recommendation and implementation of policies, programs and procedures that accomplish the goals and objectives to ensure the economic health of the area,

Drugs seized Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers have filed felony drug charges against a Connecticut man after a traffic stop in Wood County. On Nov. 2 at 2:49 p.m., troopers stopped a rented 2017 Infinity QX 60 with Arizona registration for a following too close violation on Interstate 80 near milepost 72. Criminal indicators were observed and a patrol drugsniffing canine alerted to the vehicle. A probable cause search revealed approximately 246 ounces of methamphetamine submerged within liquid. The methamphetamine is valued at approximately $266,000. The driver, Shamel Eaton, 37, of Winsor, Connecticut was incarcerated in the Wood County Justice Center and charged with possession and trafficking in methamphetamine, both firstdegree felonies. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison and up to a $40,000 fine.

Natural Wanders by Art Weber

Son of a gun, there’s big fun on Bayou Cajun and Creole – the residents of coastal Louisiana have put their own special brand on food, music, and culture. Even football. The region is known for its FrenchCanadian heritage but, like the region’s Tabasco pepper sauce that spices up the food, there are tasty dashes of spice added by Native Americans and the melting pot of the Caribbean, including West Indians, Spanish, Portuguese, English and Germans. Collectively, they’re hardy folks known for a strong work ethic that’s exceeded only by their propensity for enjoying life simply and with gusto. Lafayette, midway between New Orleans (The Big Easy) and Lake Charles, is the self-proclaimed Cajun Capital, the cultural center of the Gulf Coast region known as Acadiana. Not surprisingly to anyone familiar with the outgoing nature of the area, Lafayette has been dubbed the “Happiest City in America” by the Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch.com. Fan out in any direction and it’s Cajun Country. Swamps and seemingly endless marshes teeming with game and fish, fields of sugar cane, rice patties, and, yes, crawfish ponds. Shrimp trawlers ply the bayous headed for Vermilion Bay and the Gulf beyond. Tugs push barges loaded with cargo where railroads can’t go. The land has shaped the people, taught them self-reliance – how to make do with what the land and sea gives them. “We make use of what we have,” Kathy Guillory, of nearby Abbeville, said. It explains the simple home-made fid-

Sunrise on the Atchafalaya Basin, the largest wetland and swamp in the United States. The unique Cajun and Creole culture, dance, food and music were shaped by the unique natural areas of coastal Louisiana. (Photo by Art Weber) dle on display at the Hilliard University Art Museum on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL). Made from a simple slat of wood with strings stretched over a Prince Albert Tobacco can which serves as the sounding board, it’s part of the exhibit, “Crafting the Louisiana Sound.” Featured, too, is the handicraft of Clarence “Junior” Martin, who is the figurehead of the largest manufacturer of accordions in the United States, all custom-built Cajun diatonic accordions – different from piano accordions – in the family-owned shop in Lafayette. Lafayette is a music town – Cajun, Zydeco and more. Like so many things Cajun, they build their music scene from the ground up, with local music, local talent and even locally made instruments. Anya Burgess is one of the prominent figures in that scene. Not only a premier musician, she’s a violin maker with a shop in downtown Lafayette. “I think of myself as a mechanic,” she

said. “I keep all the fiddle players up and going.” And the difference between a fiddle and a violin? “The fiddle has strings and a violin has strings,” she said, smiling. “Really the only difference is in the style of music played.” In Lafayette there’s plenty of musical style with its unique blend of Cajun and Zydeco. Places like the world-famous Blue Moon Saloon, a back porch intimate honky-tonk featuring surprise visits from top performers like Grammy winner Chubby Carrier, a place to “drink a few and thank your lucky stars to spend an evening together in Lafayette.” For a grander experience, come and enjoy any one of nearly a dozen major festivals. Best for music are April’s Festival International de Louisiane, featuring hundreds of performing and visual artists converging on seven stages. The fall is even better with Festival Acadiens et Creole the second full weekend of October.

Fall also means football at ULLs Cajun Field where the Rajin’ Cajuns and their mascot, Cayenne, play Sun Belt Conference opponents while the scoreboard plays such favorites as Rockin’ Sydney’s “Don’t Mess with My Toot-Toot” and “Give Him Cornbread” by Beau Jocque and the Zydeco Hi-Rollers. They serve up Ragin’ Cajun beer and overlook a field with a painted crawfish along with Fleur de Lis and, if they win, the place will rock to the band playing “Jambalaya.” Getting there For more info on the many sights, sounds, music, dancing, and nearby natural areas to visit, go to www.LafayetteTravel. com, Lafayette Regional Airport is served by three airlines – American, Delta and United. It’s a two-day drive to Lafayette, 1,100 miles, with routes that can include fascinating stops along the way.

CASA to host two fundraising events By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com When an organization has done so much for the community, it only makes sense that the community would look to get behind that organization. Ottawa County is doing that on behalf of Court Appointed Special Advocates, also known as CASA, twice in the coming weeks. The 10th annual CASA Dancing with the Stars event, which will be held Saturday, Nov. 18, is one of the organization’s primary fundraisers, Class ‘A’ Dance Studio will also present a show Sunday, Dec. 3 that raises money for the cause. CASA volunteers donate their time to advocate for abused or neglected children to help ensure they have a safe and healthy environment in permanent homes. The organization, which was found in 1977, currently has more than than 70,000 advocates serving nearly 250,000 children in roughly 1,000 state and local offices across the country. “CASA volunteers are assigned by the court to do an independent investigation that advocates for the best interests of the child,” said Connie Cornett, executive director for CASA’s Ottawa County chapter. “CASA has also done some expansion over the years – we are more than just serving kids in the court room. We oversee the TNT Mentoring Program and the Ticket to Success program. Those two programs sit well with assisting our mission to help kids – we help them with career exploration and learning valuable skills that help with their independence. Many of these kids are iden-

The Very CASA Christmas Show, which will be presented by Class ‘A’ Performing Arts on Dec. 3 at 2 p.m. at Oak Harbor High School. The event will feature dancers, singers, magic, game shows and more. Admission is free; donations will be accepted. “We have done Christmas shows from time to time, and I was itching to do another Christmas show because it is my favorite time of the year, and we look to collaborate with a non-profit organization each year to make it a fundraising event,” said Hank Fox, the head tumbling coach at Class ‘A.’ “We want to recognize all of those hard-working CASA advocates who really are the driving force behind the success of the dance competition,” he said.

Pipeline guidelines outdated, study says By Press Staff Writer A study commissioned by the Natural Resources Defense Council finds the federal government’s policy for approving natural gas pipelines that cross state borders needs to be updated to reflect changes in the sector as well as the exponential growth. The public’s health and environmental risks aren’t adequately reflected in the 18-year-old policy of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for certifying new interstate pipelines, the study says. The report released last week, Natural Gas Pipeline Certification: Policy Considerations for a Changing Industry, examines the changes in the patterns and pricing of the production, transportation, and use of natural gas, as well as sizable amount of pipeline infrastructure added since the commission issued its 1999 policy statement. “The report underscores very real concerns that we are overbuilding the natural gas pipeline system,” said Montina Cole, a senior attorney working with the Sustainable FERC Project housed within NRDC. “Pipelines put people’s health, safe

drinking water, and our climate at risk. It’s a waste to keep building more pipelines when America is rapidly transitioning to a cleaner, energy future with non-polluting alternatives that don’t require pipelines, such as energy efficiency, wind and solar.” FERC has approved approximately 400 pipeline applications since then, creating enough capacity to carry 180 billion cubic feet of natural gas every day, the report says. However, average daily U.S. consumption was less than half that last year at only 75.11 billion cubic feet. The report notes the recent increase in pipeline siting and certification challenges, as well as concerns raised by landowners, local groups, and others about “the potential adverse impacts and risks associated with siting new pipeline projects.” These include taking land by eminent domain; harmful carbon and methane emissions from natural gas production, delivery and use; and the health and safety risks associated with hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to extract the gas. Based on the report’s findings, NRDC recommends that FERC update its policy to: • Analyze the need for new pipeline

construction based on the energy needs in the region where the pipeline would be built, rather than individual project review. A comprehensive assessment would include examination of existing and proposed pipeline capacity, and long-term energy needs. A region-wide analysis would avoid duplicate pipelines serving similar markets, as well as other unneeded pipeline construction. • Scrutinize contracts for pipeline capacity where the pipeline developer is on both sides of the deal – both the seller and buyer of pipeline capacity. Affiliate contracts are increasingly being offered as justification for new pipelines although such agreements might not reflect actual competitive market needs. Moreover, when the pipeline-affiliated customer is a monopoly utility with utility customers who cannot choose their energy provider, they pay the costs of the pipeline even if the pipeline is unneeded. • Consider non-pipeline alternatives to pipeline construction. Cleaner and safer energy options include renewable energy, energy efficiency, and use of existing underutilized pipeline capacity.

Lucas Co. Health Dept. reports increase of Crypto cases The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department reports an increase in cases of Cryptosporidiosis (Crypto) in Lucas County in 2017. More than 120 cases of Cryptosporidium have been reported since the beginning of 2017, compared to 36 cases in 2016 year-todate. Crypto is a disease that causes watery diarrhea. It is caused by a parasite called Cryptosporidium. The parasites can be found in food, water, soil, or on surfaces, dirty hands that have been contaminated with the feces of humans or animals infect-

ed with Crypto. The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department is working to determine similarities among cases, and provide education to help prevent the spread of illness in the community. Other than watery diarrhea, some individuals may report stomach cramps or pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration. The symptoms typically develop two to 10 days (average seven days) after becoming infected with the parasite. Crypto can be spread by: • Swallowing recreational water (for

example, the water in swimming pools, fountains, lakes, rivers) contaminated with Crypto • Drinking untreated water from a lake or river that is contaminated with Crypto • Swallowing water, ice, or beverages contaminated with poop from infected humans or animals • Eating undercooked food or drinking unpasteurized/raw apple cider or milk that gets contaminated with Crypto • Touching your mouth with contaminated hands • Hands can become contaminat-

Lake Twp.

Zoning change requested for Woodville Road parcels By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An application to rezone two parcels along Woodville Road in Lake Township from R-2 residential to B-2 general commercial has been submitted to the Wood County Planning Commission. James Mlynek, the property owner who also owns Woodville Road Nursery, is requesting the change in zoning for the parcels located across the road from his business. He’s been using the parcels to temporarily store piles of leaves for making compost. However, that use of the properties doesn’t meet the township’s zoning requirements, according to a legal opinion provided to the township trustees last month by Philip Dombey, township solicitor.

According to the opinion, Mlynek must receive a zoning certificate from the township to operate the site as a transfer station for the leaf piles. To receive a certificate, the owner must have a stormwater management plan approved by the Wood County engineer’s office and install a buffer yard around the perimeter of the parcels. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has authorized the transfer station but that doesn’t preclude the township from deciding whether or not the owner has met stormwater and buffer requirements, Dombey said. Residents of Bailey Road, which is adjacent to the parcels, have complained about odors and possible drainage problems from the parcels. Before storing leaves on the site, Mlynek cleared the parcels, leaving some bushes and small trees standing around the

perimeter. His business has been accepting leaves from Lake Township for more than 25 years. Other area municipalities have begun bringing their leaves to him in recent years. The township is asking for a recommendation from the county planning commission. That non-binding recommendation will be considered by the township zoning commission, which is scheduled to meet in mid-December. The request will ultimately be decided by the township trustees in January 2018, Richard Welling, a trustee, said. Contract extended In other business Wednesday, the trustees agreed to a one-year contract extension with Republic Services for solid waste collection and recycling services.

Observing the 100th birthday of a Revolutionary bloodbath This October-November 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia—the bloody communist state that would produce a political-ideological killing spree unlike any the world has ever seen. And yet, communism continues to find supporters. Here are three personal anecdotes: I did a conference this past week on the legacies of communism. One liberal professor complained that no pro-communist speakers were included. I wasn’t surprised. Another case: a former student of mine this week told me of his professor (at a local college in Pittsburgh) who was hailing Karl Marx for his “brilliance.” Again, no surprise. One more: A student from the University of Wisconsin called in to a talkshow I did last week insisting that capitalism is just as lethal as communism. That all happened just this past week, and it’s not unusual in my world. Anecdotes aside, an October 2016 poll by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation generated a stunning finding: almost one-third of Millennials “believe more people were killed under George W. Bush than under Joseph Stalin.” And it isn’t only those silly Millennials. More than one in four Americans generally believe Bush was the bigger killer. That same report found that the vast majority of Americans (75 percent) underestimate the number of people killed by communist regimes, and a large major-

ity (68 percent) believe Hitler killed more people than Stalin. This begs the question: how many people did these ideological gangsters kill? Well, here at the centenary of communism, the number “100” is fitting, given that 100 million is a good stab at the number of people annihilated by the MarxistLeninist pathology the Bolsheviks sought to spread worldwide. The Harvard University Press classic, The Black Book of Communism, endeavored to tabulate a communist death

toll in the 20th century. It came up with a figure of 100 million. The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation also arrives at that figure. Cal-Berkeley professor Martin Malia aptly noted that the communist record offers the “most colossal case of political carnage in history.” And even then, this frightening number—100 million dead—is actually quite conservative. Take the figure relating to the Soviet Union, for instance, where the Black Book recorded merely 20 million dead. Alexander Yakovlev, a high-level Soviet official who became one of Mikhail Gorbachev’s chief reformers, and who was given the postCold War task of trying to tally the victims, estimates that Stalin alone “annihilated … sixty to seventy million people.” A similar level of bloodshed was wrought by China’s Mao Tse-tung, who was responsible for the deaths of at least 60 million (according to the Black Book), but more likely over 70 million, according to the latest research. And then there were the killing fields of North Korea, Cambodia, Cuba, Ethiopia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and more. Among these, the North Korea butcher’s bill is close to 5-6 million. And we can hope and pray that the North Korea nightmare doesn’t take on a hideous nuclear dimension under Kim. Who knows how that one could end? Really, the death generated by communist governments in the 20th century is closer to 140 million. By comparison, Hitler’s genocide against Jews, Gypsies, the mentally dis-

abled, and others he deemed “misfits,” was approximately 10 million. Finally, another chilling figure for comparison: The combined dead from World Wars I and II—the most destructive conflicts in human history—was approximately 50-60 million. One must combine and then double the tolls of the two world wars to begin approaching communism’s mass slaughter. Ronald Reagan called communism a “disease.” Actually, it’s hard to find a 20th century disease that killed as many people as this ideological pathology. Reagan put it better when he described communism as “evil” and “a form of insanity.” And yet, so much of this evil insanity isn’t known, nor is it being taught, especially in our universities. A frustrated James Kirchick of the liberal Daily Beast recently asked his readers, “How many times have you heard some formulation of this viewpoint? ‘Communism is an excellent idea in theory, it just hasn’t worked in practice.’ I wish that was the sort of sentiment I only remembered from college dorm room bull sessions.” Kirchick responded, “OK. How many more millions of people have to die before we get it right?” Good question. And so, as communism marks its centennial, we should remember it for what it did best: death.

You’re responsible for maintaining personal freedom Letters There are many definitions of freedom. You probably have your own perception of freedom. Although freedom can be taken away by other people, voluntarily giving up one’s freedom is surprisingly common. This happens without a full awareness of the process, or its major consequences. Your thoughts limit more of your freedom than any other factor. You are free when you are living your life based on your desires. Your freedom is diminished when you allow your thoughts, or other people’s opinions to stop you. You are responsible for maintaining your freedom. Your freedom is not someone else’s responsibility. Your freedom is determined by your attitude. What you think about impacts how restricted you are. Your thoughts can either imprison you, or set you free. Negative thoughts will limit you. With negativity, you will be unable to attain goals. You won’t be able to engage in enjoyable pursuits. Your life will be constrained just as if you were physically restrained. Structuring your life based on the desires of others restricts your freedom. Altering your behavior just to please someone else subverts your own desires. When your actions are predicated on gaining acceptance, you have given up the freedom to do what you want. You have put yourself in a mode where you won’t do something which you think would be disapproved. It’s OK to follow your path in pursuit of those dreams which you consider important. You don’t need anyone’s approval. Your goals must be your own. Working to

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden achieve someone else’s objectives diminishes your freedom. Altering your behavior in response to negative criticism, or to avoid criticism, is another self-imposed restriction on your freedom. Although striving to grow and improve is a positive pursuit, naysayers are destructive. They are focused on your failure, not success. You will never please everyone, no matter how hard you try. While you are busy accommodating one person, someone else will likely be alienated. You can’t please everyone, nor should you try. You are the person who must be pleased with where you are headed. Take your own road. As long as you are acting ethically and morally, your direction should be based on where you want to go. There’s no need to justify your actions. Anyone who has accomplished anything positive has at some point been ridiculed. Fear is a major self-imposed constraint on your freedom. Fear is in your mind. You won’t do something you are afraid of. Fear imposes boundaries on where you will go and what you will do. Of all the fears, fear of failure tends to be one of the most limiting. Not even try-

ing is a common strategy for avoiding failure. You can’t fail at something you don’t attempt. So this voluntary limitation of your freedom provides a sense of safety. Protecting your personal freedom is your responsibility. The amount of freedom you have is directly related to your attitude. If you have a can-do outlook, you are free to achieve your dreams. However, a can’t-do outlook significantly limits your freedom because when you believe you can’t, you won’t. Utilizing your personal freedom takes effort. Positive action is essential for achieving results. Being free to accomplish something is only the first step. The second step is doing whatever is necessary to get where you want to be. Personal freedom is yours when you don’t pay any attention to the pessimists who are always ready to explain why your plans will fail. They claim to know more than you and say they are only looking out for your best interests. Taking their advice ensures your failure. Expand your personal freedom with an attitude that anything is possible. Discard all of your internal limitations. Whatever your goals may be, someone else has already demonstrated they are achievable. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden. com or your bookstore.

Invisible wounds To the editor: Thus far, in my opinion, we as a country have failed to address the invisible wounds of another veteran. Specifically, I am referring to the late Air Force veteran Devin Kelley, who became a terrorist this past Sunday in Sutherland Springs, Texas. I continue to maintain our society has increasingly had individuals “acting out” as psychopathic personalities; Dylann Roof, the individual who killed the nine people attending Bible study in Charleston, North Carolina in June 2015 is a prime example of this mentality. I am now cognizant that veteran Kelley had received a bad conduct discharge and had been court-martialed in 2012. Clearly, it is time we do more for our veterans with invisible wounds than “thank them for their service.” Prime examples would be the U.S. Navy needing four or five months to ascertain the reasons for the collisions that killed 17 young sailors on the USS Fitzgerald and the USS McCain. Meanwhile, in the same amount of time, two Vietnam veterans (as I am) received Medals of Honor earned for their actions some 45 years ago. How is that thanking someone for their service?

November,2007 News: Oregon Police reported eight complaints of stolen catalytic converters in one week’s time. A department spokesperson said thieves can remove a converter in a few seconds and get $80 to $100 per converter from scrap yards. The scrap yards, in return, could make between $1,000 to $3,000 a day recovering the precious metals in recycled converters. Reports of catalytic converters thefts increased nationwide. For example, one county in Maryland reported 120 such thefts in one month. Sports: The Toledo Mud Hens registered a number of potential names for its proposed arena football team, one of which was Peckerheads, a slang term for a woodpecker. While it would be a unique nickname for a sports team, there was a motorcycle club in Florida called the North Florida Peckerheads, a Peckerheads dance club in Oklahoma and a Peckerheads Restaurant in Arizona. *** Jeremy Foster, Eastwood senior, led all Press area teams in rushing totaling 1,745 yards in 10 regular season games. Jordan Kovacs, Clay, led all receivers with 43 catches. Kovacs went on to star at the University of Michigan as a safety and played in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins.

November, 1997 News: Conventions at Maumee Bay State Park had an economic impact of $1.2 million for the first 10 months of 1997, according to the Greater Toledo Convention and Visitors Bureau. Nearly 2,400 delegates attended 33 conferences. Sports: Northwood won the school’s first ever SLL championship when the volleyball team, under coach Brad Morrison, finished 16-1. The Rangers’ only loss came in the state tournament to Hopewell-Louden. Morrison said of the game, “We wanted it more, but you can’t coach height.” The team was led by senior Chris Shepard and junior Jessica Buck. *** Woodmore finished third at the Ohio High School Girls’ Cross Country tournament. The team, coached by Alicia Wollmering, came close to winning its fourth state championship in six years. Three freshmen led the team. They were Kathy Camp, Meredith Magsig and Renie LaVigne.

November, 1987 News: The Ohio Department of Health discovered higher than recommended levels of alpha radiation in five residential wells tested during the continuing investigation into the Wood County childhood cancer mystery. Robert Indian, the epidemiologist heading the study in Columbus, said the levels were above safe drinking water standards in four wells in Perrysburg Township and one in Weston. Exposure to radiation was linked to cancer, particularly leukemia, which was the target of the department’s investigation. The five wells were identified through case histories of cancer patients. *** The Woodville Mall showcased its $5 million renovation with a grand reopening celebration. Renovations included adding natural light through skylights, replacing carpet and adding a nine-unit food court. Center court featured a gazebo to serve as a stage for entertainment. More than 3,000 people showed up at each Hollywood on Tour show featuring Elvis Presley and The Blues Brothers impersonators. Sports: Steve Junga, Suburban Press sports editor, wrote about the recollections of Joe “Fudgie” Wlodarz when he played for the Jack Frost Sugars, a semi-pro football team featuring noted Waite High graduates.

Wlodarz said the team set the precedent in 1933 for how the NFL resolves tie games. He recalled that the team was locked in a 0-0 battle with another local team--the Vargo Coals. The two teams decided to play extra quarters until someone scored. The Sugars’ Andrew “Ekie” Horvath blocked a punt and raced 15 yards to score in the sixth period. The game made Ripley’s Believe It or Not as the first game to go six quarters, according to Fudgie. Price check: Genoa Savings & Loan promoted one-year CDs at 7.9782 compound rate.

Sports: Fred Koester, head football coach, led Eastwood to its first undefeated season in the school’s 20-year history. The Eagles, (10-0) finished fourth in the UPI Regional Computer Poll. The offense, led by Dave Hayward, Curt Custer and Hank Taylor, averaged 40 points per game while the defense allowed only 5 ppg.

Opened lines of engagement with North Korea can work By Kerri Kennedy Tensions between the U.S. and North Korea are at an all-time high — and continue to escalate following North Korea’s test of a missile that can supposedly reach Alaska. It’s still possible to turn down the heat with small steps that could lead to more robust diplomacy later on. But this requires the political will to engage instead of trading threats. The Obama administration’s approach to North Korea was “strategic patience” — basically, waiting for things to get better. It was an undeniable failure. And while the Trump administration once signaled an interest in diplomatic engagement, since then their saber rattling has pushed us even closer to the brink of war. There’s another, better way forward. Observers have noted over several decades that when the U.S. has opened lines of engagement, North Korean missile tests have been scaled back or stopped all together. Simply put, engagement works. Diplomacy is the only option for addressing this conflict — war would be catastrophic. And diplomatic engagement even has the benefit of being supported by most Americans. There are a number of options available for low-level diplomacy that can open lines of dialogue. Addressing humanitarian concerns,

PRESS The

Since 1972

Other Opinions for example, could lead to political progress, as it has between the U.S. and other countries. This can be done at lower levels of government, or even by non-government organizations. I’ve seen firsthand the power of engagement to open important doors. I work for the American Friends Service Committee, a nonprofit organization that’s had a presence on the Korean peninsula since 1953, when we responded to calls for refugee assistance. In particular, AFSC is one of the few U.S.-based organizations that’s kept a presence in the North since the 1980s, and we’ve done it through exchanges of delegations hoping to reduce tensions. We didn’t originally intend to provide humanitarian aid at that time, but when famine struck we sprung into action. Because we’d opened lines of communication and identified the crisis early on, we were ideally positioned to help. Since the end of the famine, we’ve been working with farmers in the region on sustainable agriculture practices.

Ours has been the most continuous example of a successful relationship between U.S and North Korean-based organizations. And we’ve seen that engagement lead directly to opportunities to address a humanitarian crisis and save lives. Peer-to-peer exchanges like those we participate in have the potential to open diplomatic lines of communication. But this requires a willingness to do the work of engagement from those in political power. What other options might be on the table? Retrieving U.S. veterans’ remains from North Korea and reunifying Korean families divided by the war are both important and politically viable humanitarian issues that need to be addressed before time runs out, as survivors of the Korean War are ag-

ing. Working together on those goals could prime the pump for further diplomacy. Americans want to see diplomatic engagement with North Korea, not an escalation of tensions and the threat of nuclear war. We know proven methods for engagement can and do lead to further opportunities for diplomacy, and that diplomacy leads to a decrease in military tensions. We know what we need to do to begin to address this conflict in a productive, non-violent manner. What we need now instead of military threats is the political will for real engagement.

Toledo Den of “Good Bears” raises funds to help comfort kids With the recent waves of natural disasters, Good Bears of the World International has sent Teddy Bears to Houston, and Florida to comfort hurricane victims, and were seeking contacts to send bears to Puerto Rico. “In addition, the organization continues to donate comfort bears to local police and fire departments, so our supply of bears is becoming low,” said Terrie Stong, Executive Director of Good Bears of the World. To raise funds to purchase more “Goody Bears,” to continue with the mission, the organization held a fundraiser Oct. 28 at the Hungarian Club of Toledo. Bear vendors and Dens from several states came to sell. There were also raffles and several door prizes were awarded. “We chose the Hungarian Club because of their wonderful interior décor but we also give a lot of bears to the Toledo Szeged Committee to be sent to deserving children and forgotten elderly in Szeged, Hungary,” said Jan Tropf, international treasurer for Good Bears, and also treasurer for the Toledo Szeged Committee. “Our goal was not only to raise money but to raise awareness of the unique healing powers of teddy bears. “For example, if there is a house fire, a child may lose everything he or she has, but when police or a firefighter hands that child a bear to hug, this may be the first point of recovery from the trauma.” Tropf said. Fundraising and donations are the only things keeping this charitable organization going. Many of the members travel hundreds of miles each year to attend conventions and shows to bring attention and awareness to the organization. One of the major costs for the organization is shipping of the bears to where they are needed, so fundraising is always an ongoing event. Since the Octo-Bear-Fest has had such

Are your kids prepared to handle drug temptations? It can be difficult for parents to talk seriously with their children about certain issues, especially sex or drugs. And while the sex talk may get handled just fine (or not) by the school’s health education class, it’s essential that your child be prepared for potential drug encounters because they are going to happen. When’s the right time to begin drug discussions with your children? Experts advise that it’s well before they become teenagers. Children as young as 5 are able to comprehend that certain things are bad for them. This is when you need to explain that many things, including cigarettes, alcohol, common household products and the parents’ medications, are all drugs and can all be harmful to them. If you start such discussions early, it

The

Counseling Corner becomes easier to add additional age-appropriate information as your child grows. Studies find that children as young as 8 are commonly having their first drug experience, usually inhaling common household products. Even fairly young children might be tempted to try one of those pills that they found in Mom’s purse. An important step in assisting your kids is helping them develop a plan of action for dealing with drug situations. Kids want to fit in and belong, and peer pressure often plays a major role in getting a child to

try a drug for the first time, whether it’s a cigarette, alcohol, marijuana, or pills. If the “cool” kids are the ones doing some kind of drugs, encourage your child to discuss how he or she would feel and react if pressured to join in. Try role playing so your child can get a feel for what his or her reactions might be. Be supportive and

let your child know you understand how difficult such situations can be. But he or she must also understand how important it is to be able to say “no.” Yes, your child will probably have questions about your own experiences with drugs, smoking or drinking. While open, honest communications is best, be aware that some adolescents might feel that if you did something, there’s no reason they can’t, too. Your local health department or library has material about talking to kids about drugs. And if you suspect your child is being exposed to drug usage, or may already be experimenting or using, talk to your pediatrician or school’s counselor about what to do or where to get help. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Resistance Training is simply…any work you do against resistance. Resistance may be in the form of body weight, hand-held weights, elastic resistance bands, or any of the various assortment of exercise machines and equipment. It is a commonly held belief that as we age, the benefits of strength, aka resistance, training become less and less, and the days of being able to do the things we love and desire are becoming fewer and fewer. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Whether you’re 22, 42, or 72 – regardless of age – everyone can benefit from exercise in some capacity. Benefits include: • Fat loss, weight control and weight maintenance. Losing scale weight is the wrong goal. You can lose the wrong kind of weight (muscle and bone) and still be fat. Focus on dropping fat and gaining muscle. • Increased metabolism. If you have a lot of muscle your metabolism is higher and you burn more calories since muscle is metabolically active. • Increased calorie burning during resistance training. Any activity, including strength training, burns calories during the activity and contributes to fitness. • Increased calorie burning after exercise. Vigorous strength training significantly elevates calorie burning (metabolic rate) anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes or longer after you’ve finished. • Reductions in resting blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure or borderline high blood pressure, generally

it’s accepted to use moderate loads and 1520 repetitions. Diet (decrease alcohol and salt) and exercise can lower blood pressure. Check with a doctor to get a specific recommendation. • Decreased risk for diabetes. Diabetes ultimately results from an inability to control blood sugar levels. Insulin that is secreted from your pancreas normally controls blood sugar levels. Muscle tissue is programmed to respond to insulin and as ordered by this hormone, to take sugar out of the blood into the muscle. As people get fatter, older and inactive the muscle tissue they have left doesn’t obey insulin command orders. Solution: lift weights, build muscle and lose fat. Resistance training increases muscle mass and increases insulin action or decreases insulin resistance. Both cardiovascular and metabolic benefits can be gained by engaging in a resistance training program. • Positive changes in blood lipid profiles. HDL cholesterol (the “good guy”) is raised primarily by exercise (cardiovascular and strength training) and losing fat. Of course, diet (moderate, healthy eating) is important to lower harmful LDL (the “bad guy” cholesterol) and triglycerides (fat). • Decreased risk for osteoporosis and increased bone mineral content. You can avoid weaker, less dense and more brittle bone by strength training and using weight-bearing (i.e., walking or running) exercise. You’ll be at less risk for fracture resulting from inactivity if you maintain weight-bearing aerobic exercise and strength training throughout your life. • Improved structural and functional

integrity of tendons, ligaments and joints. Stronger muscles increase the thickness and strength of tendons (connect muscles to bones) and ligaments (provide integrity to joints by connecting bone to bone). Stronger muscles let you exert more force, perform better, and with less chance of injury to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. • Personal physical independence. Many people lose their “freedom” because they’ve lost the strength to be mobile. • Enhanced physical activity experiences. Strong individuals perform better and physical activity feels good to their bodies. • Improve posture. Strength and flexibility are the keys to correct body alignment. You’ll look and feel better, guaranteed! • Improve physical image. Strength training will change how you look. • Improve self-esteem. You’ll feel strong, look strong and think that you’re strong. In fact you will be strong! * Information taken in part from Brooks, D. (2001). Effective strength training. Mammoth Lakes, CA: Human Kinetics. Frederick J.

State Cross Country

Young runners find tough competition By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer Many runners go into the state cross country meet carrying a big chip on their shoulders, but not Gibsonburg freshman Hannah Dearth. Dearth, who competed in the Division III state meet along with Northwood junior Trinity Fowler on Nov. 4 at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, said the 3.1-mile race was “actually pretty cool.” Dearth finished in 69th place with a time of 20:27.5. “The circumstances for the race, like the weather, weren’t the greatest,” Dearth said. “It was an awesome race and I had a lot of fun, especially being a freshman going to state. Everyone went out really fast and that intimidated me at first. After the first mile, I knew I could go out and pass some girls and show them how to run. “I’m a young runner and I don’t have much to prove. I wanted to show them there are younger girls out there who want to do well.” Dearth’s time at the state meet was 10 seconds slower than her season-best time of 20:17.5, which she ran at the regional meet en route to placing 30th out of 32 individuals not on qualifying teams. “I was extremely proud of her, first of all, for getting to the state meet,” Gibsonburg coach Beth Kohler said. “We were at an extremely large regional in Tiffin, with 25 teams. I was pleased with her for standing

up to that pressure. She’s usually at the top of the field. To be with that pack, it wasn’t a usual thing for her and she stood up to that challenge really well at regionals and at state. “She’s believed in the process and she’s a really hard worker. She earned every opportunity she got.” Dearth said her goal going into the meet was to finish in the top 50 and set a PR at the same time. She said the cold weather didn’t really faze her. “It was colder at regionals,” Dearth said, “so I just went out and ran. I was off (my goal) by 19 places, and 10 seconds off my PR, which wasn’t bad considering the conditions. In the past couple of races, I haven’t had much of a (final) kick. I leave it all on the course. Whatever I have in the tank at the end is what I give. I was pushing it at state and giving it everything the whole time. I had no kick left.” The last Gibsonburg girl to compete at the state cross country meet was Samantha Hoffman, who qualified in 2009 and 2010. “I look forward to going back and taking the entire team next year,” Dearth said. “We have everyone coming back, so I hope to take a full team or take at least two more girls. The whole team’s goal is to go beyond regionals. I look forward to next year and coming back strong.” Fowler, a two-time Toledo Area Athletic Conference champion and this year’s TAAC Runner of the Year, missed the

state meet last season because of a hip injury. She finished 17th at the D-III state meet as a freshman, in 19:16.6, and qualified this year by placing 24th (20:07.29) at the Tiffin regional. Fowler placed 120th in 21:17.9 last Saturday. “It wasn’t exactly what I wanted,” she said. “It was not one of my best races. As for the season, my goal was to make it back there, so I can’t be too upset. The first quarter-mile I had a good start and did good. After that, it was not my day.” Fowler said she became ill on Tuesday and Wednesday during the week leading up to the meet. She added, however, that the illness didn’t affect her training that much. “I only missed one day of practice, on Thursday,” Fowler said. Northwood coach Kelley Wills said Fowler had been battling a virus “that didn’t seem to go away for two weeks.” “She wasn’t healthy last week, and it was an extremely fast race (last Saturday),” Wills said. “She just wasn’t running her usual fast splits.” Eight of Fowler’s Northwood teammates attended the state meet to cheer her on, Wills said. “We wanted to try to make an event out of it,” she said. “We wanted to show the kids in the program what state competition looks like and give Trinity the support she needed. She’s a great kid to work

Eagles’ sophomore blends power with cutting ability By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer “We hope Jaden has a pretty good year for us.” - Eastwood football coach Craig Rutherford. The Eagles’ first-year coach said those words about sophomore running back Jaden Rayford in mid-August, less than two weeks before the season opener against Ottawa-Glandorf. Rayford carried the ball 36 times for 175 yards and two touchdowns in that game, a 39-7 rout by an Eastwood team that would be ranked No. 1 in Division V in the initial Associated Press state poll on Sept. 11. The Eagles have remained in the top spot all season. “The offensive line likes to block for Jaden,” Rutherford said, “because they know how hard he’s going to run the ball.” Last Friday, in the Eagles’ 48-0 win over Swanton in the first round of the playoffs, Rayford ran 20 times for 95 yards and three touchdowns. Eastwood (11-0) advanced to face Northern Buckeye Conference rival Otsego (9-2) in the second round on Friday at Lake High School. The Eagles crushed the Knights, 39-0, on Oct. 6. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Rayford, who effortlessly blends a mix of power running and cutting ability, has 1,501 yards rushing (6.6 average) and 26 touchdowns on 227 carries this season. He has two catches for 60 yards and his longest run from scrimmage, against Genoa, went for 76 yards. “It was the first play after our defense got the ball back, after we fumbled a kickoff,” Rayford recalled. “I remember bouncing off three dudes, cutting across the field and cutting it back. The last (defender) didn’t know which way I was going, and I was gone. One kid (dived) near my ankles, but I jumped at the end just in time.” Rayford has been a running back for as long as he can remember. He grew up in the Lakota school district, but his family moved into the Eastwood district starting with his eighth-grade year. “When I was younger, I was always the fastest guy on the field,” Rayford said. “They would give me the ball as many times as they could. I remember in sixth grade I had like 43 touchdowns.”

He expected to return to play wingback this season, but Rutherford moved him to fullback and Rayford has thrived. “I knew our linemen were going to be solid,” Rayford said. “I like playing fullback better. I like getting more touches. I don’t think I’ve done too bad. I’ve done a lot better than last year. I know my body better and I know a little more about our offense.” Rutherford said he admires the way Rayford fights for extra yards. The coach remembers watching Rayford bounce off tacklers in the Genoa game and dragging Lake defenders for extra yards - sometimes

10 yards at a time – in a win over the Flyers. “It’s not surprising when it happens,” Rutherford said. “You see how hard he works and how strong he is. He’s very strong, especially for a running back. He brings a lot of energy to practice.” Rayford, who runs sprints and does the long jump and high jump on Eastwood’s track team, said he takes pride in being difficult to bring down. He also said he owes a lot to the guys who block for him. “Our offensive line works hard in practice and they bust open holes for me and block whenever I need them,” Rayford said. “They work hard lifting in the offseason and most of them do more than one

sport, and that helps a lot.” He added that the Eagles tried to make last week’s playoff opener feel like any other regular-season game. Defense and special teams set up the offense with great field position against Swanton, and Rayford and the offense took it from there. “We knew we were going to have to have to come out and make a statement,” he said. “It all came down to who wanted it more. We just try to take it one week at a time. That’s been our motto throughout the season. We have really good chemistry. I can count on anyone on my team to have my back when I need it, and we all believe in each other. We all want each other to succeed and reach our highest potential.”

May says Rockets’ youth gained valuable experience By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com For a team that lost its two captains in the opener and was without its quarterback for about half the season, the Oak Harbor football team had to work its tail off to get to 5-5. The Rockets lost guard Aaron Lee and running back and defensive back Garrett Duty to injuries against Fostoria to open the season. Lee was lost for the season with a torn ACL and Duty suffered a stress fracture, missing most of the season. In addition, quarterback Jac Alexander suffered a broken hand, which limited his ability, and he later broke his collarbone, which ended his season. Connor Hoy did an admirable job filling in for Alexander, who had been the fulcrum of the team’s offense. But through it all, Oak Harbor was able to remain competitive and finished 11th in the Division V, Region 18 standings, missing out on the playoffs by a small margin for the second consecutive season. Coach Mike May says this team featured its share of young talent and gained valuable experience that should help down the road. Alexander and top running back, Clay Schulte combined for 1,847 yards of total offense. Alexander completed 43-of-72 passes for 573 yards and six touchdowns and ran 93 times for 573 yards while Schulte had 130 carries for 701 yards and five scores. May was pleased with the effort put forth by the group as well as the leadership provided by a senior class that included the likes of Hunter Lacer and Adam Ohms. “I was proud of them during the season — they faced a lot of adversity and injuries. We lost two of our captains — Aaron Lee and Garrett Duty — in Week 1 and had a quarterback banged up. Our kids never gave up and we came out of the gate at 0-2, and they still played hard, so I’m proud of them,” May said. “(The seniors) held us together through our adversity. We came into the season with sky-high expectations, and our seniors did a nice job of leading us and holding the team together. We won three in a row after the 0-2

Oak Harbor wide receiver Aric McAtee catches a pass in the Rockets’ win over Woodmore. (Press photo by Doug Hise) start and then had some injuries, but our kids fought really hard. They came out and competed in every game.” The Rockets’ two most impressive wins this year came against Tiffin Calvert (10-0), Huron (21-14) and Port Clinton (17-7). The Senecas finished fifth in the Region 26 standings, good enough to qualify for the postseason, the Tigers were right behind Oak Harbor in the Region 18 standings and the Redskins finished 11th in Region 14. Each of the three games featured a Rocket rushing attack in full swing as they rushed for 244 yards against both Calvert and Port Clinton and 202 versus Huron while controlling the clock and the tempo of the game.

In the win over the Senecas, Schulte caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Alexander for the game’s only touchdown while Schulte and Hoy both scored on 1-yard runs in the victory against the ‘Skins. Tate Smith kicked a field goal in each game to help pace the Rockets. Although the victory over the Tigers saw Alexander come through with a broken hand, he threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Aric McAtee. Two close losses to Edison (21-17) and Vermilion (14-7) saw Alexander play very little at quarterback and were ultimately the difference as a victory in either game might have been enough to get Oak Harbor into the playoffs. The Sandusky Bay Conference’s Bay Division had no team finish with an

overall losing record. “Shelby was by far the top team. Other than Shelby, I thought there was a lot of parity. We had a lead on them late against Edison and lost by four points, and they’re a playoff team,” said May. “If you look at the schools, aside from Shelby, the scores were close. You always have to be ready to play in the SBC because of quality of play and the coaching.” One of the unsung heroes of the season was Smith, who set a school record with a field goal of 44 yards and also contributed in a number of other games, whether it was with extra points or field goals. “He did a great job for us,” said May. “He had a school record 44-yarder and also made a 42-yarder. He also handled kickoffs.”

Coach Bosh, ‘Cats feeling good about where they’re at’ By Bruce Hefflinger Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It was a step in the right direction. Veteran Woodmore coach Lou Bosh hopes the season-finale win over Elmwood is just the beginning of a bright future for a program that has had just two winning seasons since last making the playoffs in 2001. “I told them before the game nothing would be better for the seniors than to go out with a win,” Bosh said. “You will always remember game 10. “For the underclassmen, it’s a catapult to go into the offseason with a win and carry it on to next season. It brings confidence and the belief that we’re doing the right thing. It’s very beneficial to us and hopefully we can reap the rewards.” Bosh, who was head coach at Woodmore from 1998-2009 before leaving for a pair of three-year assistant coaching jobs at Clay and Oak Harbor, returned to coach at the school he teaches at a year ago. “They’ve always had good kids come through Woodmore that give a top-level effort,” explained Bosh, who was 54-67 in his first stint with the Wildcats. “I knew before last year that we had to reinstill expectations of what we want and the process we had to go through with little things like locker room conduct. We had to start from ground zero and teach them what was expected and what it would take to be successful.” By the end of his first year back, Bosh saw progress. “Last January we got them to buy into the weight room and they’ve done a phenomenal job,” Bosh said. “There is a lot of missed time to make up for, but we’re on the right path. They made the effort, now the challenge is to continue it this offseason. It takes dedication to each other to make myself better to make the team better.” This year’s squad, which lost the opener and then defeated Toledo Christian before a seven-game losing streak, had just four seniors and seven juniors on the roster. “There were games we were playing with two freshmen at inside linebacker

Woodmore wide receiver Derrick Berkel scores on a pass reception against Oak Harbor. (Press photo by Doug Hise) trying to tackle someone as quick as Noah Edwards of Genoa,” explained Bosh, who relied on seniors Donovan Reyes, Derrick Berkel and Zach Matwiejczyk to lead the way along with first-year senior Cole Cutchall. “They’d come to the sidelines and we’d teach and teach. You had to continue to be positive for our guys to grow.” Bosh saw much improvement along the way. “We’ve seen these guys grow and grow throughout the year,” the 50-year-old head coach said. “We knew they were getting better, but against some of the great competition in the league we had no chance to breath and really show we were getting better until week 10. That was good to see.” After falling behind 8-0 in the 2017 finale, the Wildcats scored 25 unanswered points to take a 17-point halftime lead en route to the victory. Taityn Rollins tied the game with a kickoff return TD, Aaron Sandrock ran for a pair of touchdowns,

Reyes hit Berkel with a scoring pass and Cutchall connected on a field goal for the Wildcats. “It’s rewarding to see them be successful,” Bosh said. As the smallest school in the Northern Buckeye Conference, success can be hard to come by. “One of my goals here is to build relationships with kids not playing,” noted Bosh, whose squad had a roster of 38 this year, up six from 2016. “When I was here from ‘98 to ‘09 we averaged 55 kids on the team as a Division V school when there were six divisions. Our goal is to get back to that level. Eastwood, Genoa and Lake all have numbers in grades nine to 12. Not to say we can get to that level, but we have to get who we have in the hallways to be competitive at that level. “I need to recruit guys in the hallways and get them to believe they can help us. Winning our last game helped that cause. It showed what we’re doing is paying off.”

Improved numbers can be vital in helping reach the long-range goals of Bosh. “Our goal is to compete to the level we can challenge for a league title and be in the playoffs,” Bosh said. “Those are lofty goals but we want to try and reach them. “This year we pushed the kids to meet our expectations and be held accountable. We’ve gone a good distance going forward with what we need to do but we’re not there yet. There’s a lot more to accomplish. “The kids we have are capable of achieving that, but we’ve got to get them to allow us to push them out of their comfort zone.” The hope is winning in week 10 goes a long way to bringing success in the future. “This season was full of hard work with a lot of effort put in,” Bosh concluded. “Learning to trust what we want them to do to get where we want to go was good to see. To go out and get that win was very rewarding. I’m so happy for the players.”

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Take It! If you want to be truly free, you must take your freedom and run with it. Prior to and during the U.S. Civil War, slaves who wanted their freedom had to make a decision about whether to risk life and limb by running away. Given the risks, this must have been a heart-wrenching decision. But we can learn something from this example. We can be enslaved by many things, by addictions, by our own habits of thought and action, and by fear or timidity. If we are going to live our own lives by our own lights then at some point we have to take our freedom into our own hands and put ourselves at the helm of our own ship. This can be a hard thing to do. It is usually easier to let others run our lives. Children get used to their parents

making most of their decisions for them, and some never grow out of this habit. The human will is a muscle that must be developed. If you would be free, you must believe in yourself and believe that you have the capacity to direct your own life. Then develop a plan to become the person you long to be. And finally, put the plan into action. As a good friend of mine likes to say, “Plan the work and work the plan.” Remember also to make adjustments to the plan if it isn’t going perfectly. Some adjustments or corrections are needed in even the best plans. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”—Galatians 5:1 NIV
