More deer and coyotes observed

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com At a recent Oregon City Council meeting, there was a discussion about whether there is a coyote and deer problem in the area.

“In the past week, I’ve probably had more people ask me about coyotes than I have in years,” said Councilman Steve Hornyak. “Are we seeing an increase in population in the area or is it just more visible? I’ve never had that many comments about coyotes in Oregon, knowing they’re there. They seem to be more prevalent right now.”

City Administrator Mike Beazley said coyotes live in all 88 counties in Ohio.

“They have lived around here for many decades. Their population tends to go up or down depending on whether the predator or hunter population is active,” said Beazley. “We haven’t had a lot of calls here. There have been a couple calls at the office.”

Spotting coyotes is no different, he said, than seeing squirrels, bats, skunks, ducks, possums, and deer.

“We don’t have a great plan to deal with coyotes, just like we don’t have any plans for [feral]cats. Those are the challenges we face as we go forward. It’s the natural part of living in Oregon. We have not been aware of any damage from them or problems with them, except it’s a little disquieting to see them loping down your street from time to time. If anyone has a particular suggestion, we’ll look at it. But it’s part of living.”

He added that his son who lives in Sylvania saw one go through his property.

“It’s part of living in the region. There’s a lot more around here than when I was a child.”

“The feral cat problem has been eliminated, I think,” joked Councilman Terry Continued on page 2

Marina District

Vertical development in the spring, mayor says

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com After decades of waiting for vertical development on the 127-acre Marina District, Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz says it is finally going to happen in 2019.

Speaking to about 50 guests at the Birmingham Development Corporation meeting, he cites a meeting he had with developer Frank Kass of Columbus-based Continental Real Estate Companies, which plans to develop housing and retail that will complement a Metropark on the riverfront property in East Toledo.

The Marina District is the name once given to that property, but that could change when Metroparks Toledo pick a name for their park.

“I think 2019 is going to be a big year for the riverfront development, which I sometimes call the Marina project,” Kapszukiewicz said. “It took a long time, but I talked to the developer because it’s a two-part development. You have a 70-acre Metropark and you have a sort of housing component down to the bridge close to where the Sports Arena used to be.

“I talked to him at the beginning of the year and he said, ‘We are going to break ground in April.’ I suppose I should have asked him for clarification on what year he meant. I certainly thought 2018 was the year he had in mind,” the Toledo mayor continued, saying Kass meant in 2019.

“This year, I am certain since all the legal transfers have taken place that you will see that project begin in earnest next year, and I believe there will parts of it that will be completed by the end of the year, but the full vision will be completed by the end of 2020. I may be a little optimistic there — maybe 2021.”

Toledo Metroparks purchased 70 acres of the property from ProMedica and hired SmithGroupJJR to develop a master plan.

The park will be the sixth Metropark on the Maumee River. All of the river parks and other sites along Ohio’s 108-mile stretch of the Maumee River are part of the newly-designated Ohio Water Trail.

ProMedica also was planning to sell a portion of the land to Continental Real Estate Companies to develop housing and retail. ProMedica had purchased the property in 2016, and held its own public meetings to obtain community input before sales

to the Toledo Metroparks and Continental became final.

Kapszukiewicz says he believes all of these steps are now in place and vertical development by Continental Real Estate and the Metroparks can soon proceed.

“I am sensitive. I know the stereotype and the criticism that it is the bureaucratic, lumbering, lazy people in government that slow things like this down. It is actually not,” Kapszukiewicz said.

“We were ready to go on the development team, the Metroparks, and ProMedica, which owns some of those parcels. They spent a long time for their lawyers to get on the same page and frankly they are on the same page now. If it weren’t on the verge of snowing, they would be ready to break ground now, and they almost did anyhow.”

The waterfront park will serve the surrounding neighborhoods, with connections to Waite High School, International Park, Main Street, Front Street and the Historical Museum of the Great Lakes, as well as downtown via an existing trail that crosses the Craig Street Bridge. The park will – and has already begun to – spur adContinued on page 2

Reeves.

“Funny how one takes care of the other,” quipped Hornyak.

Deer Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, who lives on Bayshore Road, said she has noticed an increase in the deer population near her home.

From the time her family moved to Bayshore in 1987 until the present, she has frequently seen a number of deer in her yard eating pansies by her garage, she said.

“There are so many of them anymore.

What I really worry about more than the intrusion onto private property is the deer jumping out onto the roads. There’s a huge growing population. I think at some point it’s something that will have to be dealt with. It’s not a fun thing to even think about. I don’t know about coyotes, Steve, but I can tell you the numbers of deer are way, way up, beyond anything we’ve ever seen before. It seems to continue to grow. I think it’s going to come back to bite us and will require that we do something. I think it’s intrusive and a safety issue. I don’t even know where they are crossing. They’re crossing literally almost everywhere,” said Bihn.

She recalled hitting a deer after leaving a council meeting about four years ago.

“The side of my car was hit, right across from the Lake Erie Center,” she said. “It just darted out, hit my car, and there was a lot of damage. And that was four years ago. I can tell you there are three to four times as many deer today than what we saw three to four years ago.”

“It’s a challenging issue in communities that have confronted it,” said Beazley.

“My proposal is to introduce a couple of wolf packs into the community, but I was shut down by the mayor,” joked Beazley.

“I thought that would solve the coyote and deer problem. But these are tough issues to deal with.”

“But then we would be left with wolves,” said Councilman James Seaman.

Seaman added that motorists can get deer whistles attached to their vehicles to scare away deer.

“When you move, it whistles, and scare the deer away.”

jacent investment in the community, says Kapszukiewicz and Toledo Councilman Peter J. Ujvagi, who also attended the meeting at the Birmingham Branch Library.

“What I’m talking about is something that is significant,” Kapszukiewicz said.

“Just a 70-acre Metropark, on its own, is a significant jewel for the city — to be able to have the public interact with the river and its water in a way that we really haven’t, for whatever reason.”

“When you think of Toledo being located on a Great Lake (Lake Erie) — my goodness, we’re on a Great Lake. Toronto,

Historic farms can tell us how families once lived I love to visit farms recognized through the Ohio Department of Agriculture Ohio Historic Family Farm Program each year for many reasons.

There is usually fascinating history, there are always great family stories and there are generally some impressive historic structures to gawk at when you think about how they were built so long ago.

Another reason Century Farm visits are so valuable is the perspective they provide.

It is so easy to get caught up in the busy schedule of today’s society. It seems that we have so much to do these days compared to those tales of yesteryear that are always so prevalent in my visits to Century Farms. Why is that? After years of learning about Ohio’s agricultural history, I continue to arrive at the same answer to that question: food.

Just a couple of generations back, whether they lived in the city or the country, people spent significantly more time and resources on food than we do today. In the subsequent years, our food system has evolved in a way that gives people what they most want — quality food that takes less time and less money.

I am reminded of this every time I sit and listen to tales told about farm days of old. Calvin Peterson remembers the joys of farm life as a boy on his family’s Ross County farm. The big brick house built and modified by his forefathers was wonderfully isolated from the outside world in the earliest days he lived there, connected to a distant road by a very long lane. Calvin recalls playing in the sand at the creek and the great boyhood joy when he got a new (used) bicycle that helped inspired him to start a small shop for bike repairs.

He also shared stories of the incredible (but fairly standard for the era) self-sufficiency of the isolated farm where, instead of running to the store, his family would rely on the gardens, fields and livestock in the barn for their food.

“They had hogs and cattle and we butchered right here on the farm. We’d put it in salt to cure it and then we had the gardens and the women would can it for the winter. We had a hen house and were selfsufficient,” he said.

The table always seemed to have food, but only as a result of constant year-round toil to produce, preserve and prepare it.

The family’s energy needs were much the same.

“I moved to this house in 1932 and they put in a furnace in 1935. Until then they had a fireplace in each room and we

carried wood and coal in and hugged the fire. I was quite young when we got electric in the mid-30s. I was only four but I remember when we got the indoor plumbing and the coal furnace. We had a coal bin and my father would go down and get the clinkers out and stoke the fire. We could see our breath upstairs and we would run downstairs to get dressed in the morning,” Calvin said.

They did not have time back in the 1930s and 1940s to be busy with sports, or events, or whatever else we fill our time with today because they were working from sun up until sun down to produce the food needed for survival. When they did get a break from work, they relished it and savored it as an occasional luxury.

Free time was not expected; it was a privilege. Leisure was not an entitlement; it was something to be cherished. Life was not as much about “me” because, out of necessity, it had to be more about “we.” It wouldn’t work any other way.

As food has gotten easier, we have come to expect time to spend doing things we want to do, rather than put so much effort into providing or procuring food and energy. We don’t have to spend hours a day producing and preparing the food necessary for survival, so we do other stuff and then complain about how busy we are (myself included). The miracle of our modern food system has eliminated much of the misery of food production for most of our society, but it has also eliminated much of the harsh reality that grounded our forefathers.

The farm men and women of previous generations worked very hard every day in dangerous and uncomfortable conditions to produce food. They didn’t have time to be our kind of busy because they used more of their resources doing what was necessary to survive. Their leisure was sitting down for a few minutes to enjoy some homemade ice cream and conversation with their fellow workers after 14 hours of hard, hot labor on a summer day.

They tackled life’s challenges side-by-side together as families and not separated by cubicles or classrooms. Instead they were bonded with the common goal of surviving

and thriving. Life may have been simpler, but it was definitely not easier. It is hard to argue that life was better then, but maybe the perspectives provided by a life of toil were better.

The Ohio Historic Family Farms program recognizes a farm that has been in the same family for: 100 to 149 years (Century Farm designation), 150 to 199 years (Sesquicentennial Farm designation) or 200 or more years (Bicentennial Farm designation). These historic treasures of rural Ohio are often overlooked, but they offer a glimpse into the state’s past that can really provide (I believe) some valuable insights for today and the future. It does not take much modern research to see that many in today’s society clearly have too much time to spend focused on the minutiae of perceived happiness — that is not something farm families had 100 years ago, and maybe they were better off for it. Maybe that is why they call them the good old days.

Gardner re-elected Lost Bay Found Aimee Arent, Executive Director, Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, announced that the West Harbor Landing Project, a development of a satellite property of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge which will feature improved habitat for wildlife and recreational activities, is officially underway.

The West Harbor Landing is comprised of sixteen acres of predominantly marshland recently purchased by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is located on Catawba Island about four miles east of Port Clinton. The location is ideal to connect traveling tourists with the Lake Erie marshes and the National Wildlife Refuge System. Dubbed “the Lost Bay” by area residents, the site is estimated to have 10,000 daily travelers, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

ONWR plans to improve pollinator habitat and visitor amenities to include a gazebo, fishing platform / observation deck, improved canoe / kayak launch, benches, and signage.

The Catawba Island Garden Club is offering community support for the project.

“This project offers the rare trifecta benefiting individuals, the community, and wildlife --- Including the fragile habitat needed for bees, butterflies and birds,” said Suzanne Richard, President, Catawba Island Garden Club.

Lake Twp.: EPA OK with leaves on township field

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Leaves being collected by Lake Township crews and deposited on a township-owned field will be tilled into the field next year.

Township officials have notified the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency of their intent to till the leaves next spring or summer into a parcel near the intersection of Walbridge and Lemoyne roads, adjacent to the township cemetery, Dina Pierce, a spokesman for the Ohio EPA, said last week.

“This practice is allowed under an exemption in Ohio solid waste regulations that allows yard waste to be used as a soil amendment. Ohio EPA staff will follow up next spring or summer to make sure the leaves are tilled in,” Pierce said.

The Ohio Administrative Code states that yard wastes can be applied to land for purposes including, but not limited to, use as a soil amendment, agricultural and horticultural applications, or land reclamation, provided that such land application does not create a nuisance or health hazard.

The property is zoned R-2 residential.

The township in years past had been depositing leaves at the Woodville Road Nursery but Mark Hummer, township administrator, said last month that crews instead will be using the 6.5-acre township site for disposing of the leaves.

Hummer made his comments in response to a complaint from a Bailey Road resident who again contested the rezoning of two parcels along Woodville Road from R-2 residential to B-2 general commercial.

The parcels are owned by Jim Mlynek, who owns the nursery and requested the zoning change.

Endorsement for trail plan sought

By Press Staff Writer Now that the Ottawa County commissioners have endorsed a plan for a bike/pedestrian trail, a steering committee will begin the process of seeking endorsements from local governments, Linda Amos, of Poggemeyer Design Group, said last week.

She said a meeting will be heldwith the project’s steering committee of local officials and residents.

“We hope to have endorsement from as many local governments and agencies in the county as possible. We meet with the committee to discuss the process after Thanksgiving,” she said.

The commissioners on Nov. 8 approved a resolution that says the Ottawa County Active Transportation Plan was developed “…to build a consensus on a clear county-wide vision for safe, user oriented bicycle/pedestrian facilities in Ottawa County that build on existing trails, recreation areas, historic and natural preservation sites.”

The county was awarded a grant of $48,750 from the Ohio Department of Transportation to fund the planning process and consulting services.

A draft of the plan was unveiled this summer at an open house where the public had an opportunity to offer comment.

One option under consideration is an east-west corridor that generally follows the route of the Portage River.

Another corridor would link Port Clinton and Marblehead.

A link between the villages of Elmore and Genoa – a continuation of the North Coast Inland Trail – is already planned.

Earlier this year, the Ohio legislature launched a new website to promote Ohio’s public recreation trails.

Last year, a Trails Caucus was formed, bringing together a bi-partisan group of lawmakers to collaborate on outdoor and trail-related issues.

cused of preferential treatment in the zoning matter because it had been taking its leaves to Mlynek in the past.

The township purchased the parcel at Walbridge/Lemoyne roads in 2017 with the intent of expanding the cemetery when needed.

Mlynek purchased the two parcels along Woodville Road last year.

During the zoning hearing he said he’s been accepting leaves for years from the township and other communities, including the City of Oregon, without charging a disposal fee.

Benton-Carroll-Salem

Past cuts to be front and center in next levy request

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com In the wake of the defeat of an income tax levy on the Nov. 6 ballot, the BentonCarroll-Salem school board and administration are planning their next move to go before voters with another request.

Voters rejected the request for a 1 percent tax on earned income by a 323-vote margin; 2,147 for to 2,470 against, according to unofficial results.

As the board weighs its options, Guy Parmigian, district superintendent, said the administration will emphasize the spending cuts that have been made when going to the public for additional tax revenues.

Calling the district’s situation a “revenue issue, not a spending issue,” the

superintendent has compiled a list of the cuts.

In 2012, the board approved staffing reductions, eliminating 40 positions and closing school buildings. The moves lowered payroll costs by about $1.8 million from $11.5 million to $9.7 million.

That level of personnel expenditures has been maintained at that same level over the past six years, Parmigian said.

And since 2012 there have been more than 10 other positions eliminated, including one librarian/media specialist, one special education teacher, one English/ Language Arts teacher, one French teacher, one full-time bus mechanic, one full-time maintenance employee, one athletic director/director of maintenance, three bus drivers and one elementary reading teacher.

In addition, all employees, including administrators, teachers and support staff

accepted no increases in their base pay during some of those years and a five to 10 percent portion of administrative pay, including that of the superintendent and treasurer, was moved to an unguaranteed merit system.

“This new merit pay system rewards our administrators if they are innovative, efficient and student-centered. It means that our administrators must perform at high levels to earn their full salary rather than leaving it simply guaranteed,” Parmigian said. “This merit pay system for school administrators is not very common in Ohio. We have built a culture where staff know they have to do more with less, period. This has not been easy. There have been some pains to this. Yet, our staff has embraced it. It shows when you look at the performance of our students.”

The school board is scheduled to meet

Navarre Ave.

Oregon seeking grant to improve intersection

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon is seeking a grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation to improve the intersection of Coy Road and Navarre Avenue.

“We just gave a presentation to ODOT to try and get funding for the intersection of Coy and Navarre,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman at a recent council meeting. “Hopefully, we’ll be successful on that. It would be safety funding that would pay for 90 percent.”

The improvements would include new traffic signalization changes and dedicated turn lanes.

Plans at the intersection also include the installation of underground aerial lines and a water line replacement.

“Construction is very busy this year.

It’s been very difficult to get a design off in terms of putting the aerial lines underground,” said Roman. “But we are going to put that in the 2019 budget to try and do that.”

Safety project The city last year completed the Navarre Avenue Safety Improvement Project, which implemented various safety and aesthetic improvements along Navarre Avenue between I-280 and Isaac Streets Drive to reduce crashes and improve safety. The city received grant

funding from the Federal Highway Administration through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the project.

The city plans to extend the Navarre Avenue improvements from Isaac Streets Drive to Coy. Long term, the city is looking at extending the improvements further down Navarre.

Underground utility work will have to be completed first before the rest of the improvements are made, said Roman.

“We have waterline replacement that will go from Isaac Streets Drive all the way to Lallendorf. That’s a lot of underground work,” said Roman. “So that work we need to do first. Hopefully, with that work and underground aerial work occurring in 2019, I believe we’ll get the grant funding and hopefully improve Coy and Navarre. We would still continue to get grant funding to do the rest of Navarre.”

The Navarre Safety Improvement project included the construction of a median along Navarre Avenue, bulb out and median openings to accommodate U-turns and emergency access, and the construction of a public road to the Freeway strip mall that improves access to area businesses as well as provides access for emergency vehicles. Other improvements included upgraded traffic signals, the addition of a second left turn lane for southbound Wheeling Street, resurfacing to improve pavement skid resistance, waterline replacement and

other related work.

Beautification City Administrator Mike Beazley said he’s received positive feedback from the public on the Navarre Avenue improvements.

“The other morning last week, the mayor and I were in the office, and a gentleman who lives in Downtown Toledo who does his shopping in Oregon stopped in to tell us how nice everything looked. He just came in to tell us that. We were surprised to have a visit. But we’re aware of that as we look at opportunities in the Wheeling, Navarre, Dustin and Isaac Streets Drive area. There’s some opportunities for the growing population in Downtown Toledo to come here and be customers,” said Beazley.

Councilman James Seaman said making improvements will also attract developers to the area.

“We’re trying to attract developers, requesting they give us proposals for land.

When they come in and see flowers, banners and lights, it makes the city look friendly and attractive, besides improving our quality of life. It’s a very important aspect of our community,” said Seaman.

“I totally agree when you get off I-280 and come into Oregon, it’s much better than it’s been,” said Councilwoman Sandy Bihn. “But coming into Oregon down Navarre Avenue to Coy, it’s a whole different experience. It’s just like night and day, the impression it makes.”

Nov. 28 at 6 p.m.

The district is feeling the effect of the devaluation of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station and the resulting loss of about $4.6 million annually in property tax revenues.

Another hit to the school district came with the state phasing out the reimbursement payments that were designed to offset the end of the public utility tangible personal property tax. The B-C-S administration is estimating the district will have lost about $4.5 million when the phase-out is complete in 2030.

A three-year “bridge payment’ from the state of approximately $1.8 million per year will help, Parmigian said, but is only a temporary measure. It expires in 2021.

He said the board will study voting results in each of the district’s precincts before deciding how to proceed.

Downtown ice skating The Downtown Development Corporation and One SeaGate Partners announced last week that public ice skating is returning to downtown Toledo for the first time in nearly 30 years. One SeaSkate will open to the public for skating at noon on Saturday, November 17 at the conclusion of the Holiday Parade.

One SeaSkate is a synthetic ice rink located along the riverfront at the fountain between One SeaGate and the Renaissance Hotel. The rink is run by Other Ice, LLC who will have skates available for rental for $2.00.

Skaters may bring their own skates.

Skate sharpening is available for only $1.00.

“We are so excited to see skating return to downtown for the public and for private events,” said ConnecToledo’s Vice President of Operations, Cindy Kerr. “The experience along the riverfront is in a unique setting since you’re surrounded by our tallest buildings, footsteps from the Martin Luther King Bridge and within view of the Maumee River.

General Admission for individuals is $5.00; groups of 20 or more it is $4.00 per person; student and military pricing is $3.00 and $2.00 for seniors.

The rink is scheduled to be open to the public on Saturday, Nov. 16.

Jera’s Heavenly Sweet will also be open and serving hot beverages and baked goods.

Workplace TESCO holds ribboncutting for expansion

WBGU announces frequency change WBGU-TV is moving its broadcast frequency beginning at 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 27.

Viewers who watch using an over-theair antenna must rescan their TVs to continue accessing the station. Previously, the station had indicated that it would be moving its channel number, however, it still will appear as Channel 27.

Rescanning is simply using the TV remote to scan/find all the available channels in the area. Viewers do not need to purchase new equipment or services, and those who watch WBGU-TV via cable or satellite (DISH Network, DIRECTTV, Spectrum, etc.) do not need to rescan, said Anthony Short, WBGU-TV co-general manager.

The frequency move is a result of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 2016 incentive auction. While Bowling Green State University, WBGUTV’s licensee, voluntarily withdrew from the auction in 2017, the FCC is requiring WBGU-TV and nearly 1,000 others across the country to move as part of a “repacking process.” This process is designed to free up spectrum space to improve wireless broadband connectivity in the United States. The FCC is funding any equipment or technical services needed for stations to move their frequencies.

WBGU-TV also will continue to air its two sub-channels – Encore (27.1) and Create (27.2). Encore offers re-broadcasts of PBS and programming and airs the Ohio Government Channel (OGT). Create features how-to-programs on topics including cooking, woodworking, sewing, crafting and gardening.

To rescan, viewers should follow these general steps. However, given the variety of television brands and remotes, it may be necessary to consult the owner’s manual for the television or converter box.

Go to menu or home on the remote. Go to channels or settings – channels; Select one of the following: Auto scan, auto search, auto program, channel search or discover.

Scanning should begin and will take several minutes. Once the scan is complete, WBGU-TV should appear in the channel listing.

WBGU-TV is providing additional information about the rescan process on its website and social media accounts. For more information, visit wbgu.org or the National Association of Broadcasters’ website at tvanswers.org.

For more information, visit www.wbgu. org.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Wednesday for TESCO’s new 30,000-squarefoot building in Oregon.

TESCO, a third-generation, family-owned commercial bus distributor business, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday for a new 30,000-square-foot building in Oregon.

The new facility is located at 5434 Navarre Ave. Bud Graham, president, said the new building will provide a more comfortable environment for customers, expand the sales offices and enhance vehicle service and body repair capabilities.

A paint spray booth was also installed.

The facility expansion includes an additional 9.5 acres which will allow TESCO to triple the amount of vehicle inventory.

The company is observing its 50th anniversary this year.

“We started this project three years ago, requiring nine and a half acres adjacent to the five-acre parcel we were operating on.

We have seen a need for expansion in our sales, parts, service, and graphics divisions, and the new location will allow us to immediately expand in all of these areas. The new location also provides better accessibility to our facilities; now directly off of Navarre Avenue. We also needed more space for our large inventory of vehicles,” Graham said.

Construction on the facility began in August 2017, with move-in beginning this past June. Oregon-based Form & Function Architecture was the architect for the project, with A.A. Boos & Sons Inc. of Oregon serving as general contractor.

The company employs 65 full-time employees and 30 part-time employees.

Graham said the company intends to add five to 10 new jobs over the next few years.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Wade What does your dinner plate look like on Thanksgiving?

NOVEMBER 19, 2018

The Press Poll Now that the mid-terms are over, do you expect the country to be less divided?

Yes, each side will have to compromise to get things done.

No, Congress is split.

Carla Logan Curtice “Turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, green beans and my sister-inlaw Shelly’s macaroni salad, which she is famous for and no one can duplicate. My sister-inlaws all have something special that they make.

Terrie makes Hungarian sausage. Vickie makes an old fashioned cheese cake and Annie makes pumpkin pie. I’ll probably have a little of it all.”

Justin Laffey Millbury “I guess all the normal stuff. Turkey, stufſng, cranberry, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and beer. I usually eat until I’m full and then I take a nap.”

Cory Cooper Millbury “Turkey, mashed potatoes, stufſng, green beans and a dinner roll. My grandpa makes his special green beans. Those are always good.

That’s about it except I usually have pumpkin pie or dutch apple pie for dessert.”

Drew Rometski Toledo “Overƀowing! I usually have turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, stufſng, salad and potato salad. I’ve got 13 grandkids and 8 kids. Thanksgiving is big at our house.”

Don’t let potential go to waste What is unused potential? Consider some examples. You carry an umbrella, but don’t open it when the rain starts falling.

You own a bicycle that you push instead of riding. You go fishing without putting a hook on the end of your line. Your home is filled with books, which you never read.

You buy a new TV but never plug it in. You have a great car which you never start.

Each of these scenarios illustrates unused potential. Whatever assets you have are irrelevant if they are not used. The same is true of all of your internal resources.

What you have the capability of doing is of no consequence if you never do anything.

Having lots of potential is useless if your potential remains unused. It’s just like sitting in your car without putting it into drive; you’ll never get anywhere. It doesn’t matter what you could do. What’s important is what you actually accomplish.

High school valedictorians are often not the smartest students in their class.

But they are the most determined, hardest working ones. Sadly, there are many highly intelligent students who have poor academic records because they don’t utilize their potential.

Successful people fully utilize all of their potential. They don’t whine about what they may be lacking. For example, history is filled with examples of successful people who have had limited formal education. While these individuals did not have much formal education, they did have an intense desire to succeed.

As such, they tapped into their abilities, aptitudes, and strengths. They squeezed every drop of value from their potential. There was no obstacle which was going to halt their progress. Successful people are obsessive about reasons to succeed.

They waste no energy on excuses for failure.

In order to fully capitalize on your potential, you must first understand what it is. This process starts with identifying your strengths, aptitudes, and desires. Too many people are unable to recognize these fundamental aspects of themselves.

Start by believing in yourself. You have the ability to attain whatever goals you set your mind to. If you think you have

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden the ability to use all of your potential, you are right. Conversely, if you believe you don’t have potential, you are also right.

Your reality is shaped by your self-image.

Your mind prevents you from behaving in a manner counter to how you see yourself.

Next, program your self-talk to constantly repeat all of the things you can, and will accomplish. What you say to yourself must always be positive. Think about the situations, people, and circumstances you want to attract. Since your mind believes whatever you tell it, this step is crucial.

Positive self-talk is one of the most powerful techniques you can utilize to tap into your full potential. Those with negative self-talk are constantly conjuring up excuses for why they can’t, or won’t reach their goals. Negative self-talk ensures that your potential remains unused.

Positive action is required to transform potential into results. Without action nothing happens. All that you can do manifests itself into tangible results because of the specific actions you take. This is how your potential is transformed into reality.

Connect with other positive can-do people who share your desire for accomplishment. This association enables mutual motivation. Whenever one of you becomes frustrated, the others are there to provide encouragement.

You can tap into all of your potential.

There’s no reason to have any unused potential. As you realize how much you are capable of, you will discover you can achieve much more than you ever thought possible.

Holiday Bureau donations sought To the editor: The Ottawa County Holiday Bureau is preparing for its 56th year assisting local residents with community donations for the Christmas season.

The Holiday Bureau has always had a strong base of support from individuals, schools, churches and businesses, and we hope that legacy will continue this year.

During the Christmas season, the Holiday Bureau makes preparations to help individuals and families in need in Ottawa County. Assistance from the community is essential. We welcome donations of food, toys and money.

In 2017, our goals were realized through contributions we received from you. Because of the kindness of the community, we were able to help many families in Ottawa County; that meant helping 2,008 individuals, 884 of whom were children 18 years and younger.

If you would like to donate or volunteer, or if you need assistance, please contact one of the representatives in your area by Dec. 1.

Representatives include: • Genoa/Elmore (Allen-Clay-Harris Township) – Catherine Aldrich, 419-7649293. Distribution date will be Saturday, Dec. 14 from 9-11 a.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Genoa.

• Oak Harbor (Benton-Carroll-Salem) – Larry Coats, 419-862-2545. Distribution delivery date will be Thursday, Dec. 13.

The more things don’t change, the more they stay the same

By Thomas L. Knapp In 1992, Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton ran on a platform of “change.” He used the word a lot. His first campaign slogan was “for people for change.” “Change” here, “change” there, “change” everywhere and all the time.

I found the “change” theme kind of odd coming from Clinton. At the time he ran, his party had controlled both houses of Congress for nearly 30 years straight. It had controlled the White House for 22 of the previous 50 years. And when his party hadn’t been in control, only one other party ever had been. For 132 years.

How would electing yet another Democratic president - and one who held himself out as a “moderate,” not too terribly unlike his Republican opponent, to boot - constitute “change?” Independent candidate Ross Perot or Libertarian candidate Andre Marrou, maybe. Bill Clinton? No.

60% Yes 40% No

winning school was Oak Harbor with 958 pairs. Way to go!

Again, many thanks to the communities which collected shoes for the shoe drive, which will assist us in raising funds for Wreaths Across America in Ottawa County.

We are a non-profit agency that does not have specific agency funding. We rely solely on the community for their support.

We thank you for your continued support.

Sara A. Toris Director, Ottawa County Veterans Service Office

Help heal vets’ mental wounds To the editor: As a Vietnam-era veteran, the Thousand Oaks incident of Americans being slaughtered - again - really bothers me.

I am so troubled that our nation is failing so badly to take heed of writers like Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author of “The Killology Paper.”

In Lt. Col. Grossman’s paper, his research confirms that some of those serving in combat risk becoming psychiatric casualties. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that we identity and help these veterans.

That is how our country can best thank veterans for their service.

Additionally and unfortunately, the current racial and political divisiveness festering in our society and culture is producing a troubling number of what I term “racial psychopathic personalities like Dylann Roof (killer of the Bible Study Nine); Robert Bowers (Tree of Life synagogue killer) and now add Ian David Long, of Thousand Oaks, California to the list.

In theory, the U.S. military should be able to identify those who are discharged with psychopathic personalities, particularly those prone to become serial killers.

A prime example of such an American terrorist was Army veteran Timothy McVeigh, Army veteran, who bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.

But he won. And, hopefully surprising no one, eight more years - wait, make that 26 more years - of business as usual followed.

This year, a lot of Americans seemed to agree that, again, “change” was needed.

The result: A few Senate seats, a few House Seats, a few governorships, etc. switched hands ... between the two parties that have dominated politics since just before the Civil War. America’s voters had choices.

Libertarian Gary Johnson for U.S. Senate from New Mexico. Reform Party candidate Darcy Richardson for governor of Florida.

Green Howie Hopkins and Libertarian Larry Sharpe for governor in New York.

There were alternatives all up and down the ballots, from local to state to federal office, across the country.

The voters chose, with few and mostly local exceptions, the same old thing. Again.

Many of those voters will likely spend the next two years complaining that they

got what they voted for. The same old thing.

Again.

Two years from now, many of those voters will likely meditate on the need for change. Again.

And vote for the same old thing. Again.

And get the same old thing. Again.

And wonder why. Again.

Remember the old saw, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity?

People: You’re not going to get something different until you do something different.

So, a challenge: Spend the next two years watching what happens in American politics. Think about whether or not you like it. If you voted, unless you voted third party or independent, understand that you voted for it.

Then, in 2020, don’t.

Random Acts of Walbridge to open soon

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com A new type of store will soon open in Walbridge, and the owner hopes everyone visits and enjoys the atmosphere.

Caryl Stone moved to the area from New Jersey four years ago. Stone, a computer consultant, moved with her husband and daughter, Willow, to Fostoria, to be closer to a client.

“When my husband, John, got sick, we lost everything,” Stone said. “John passed away two-and-a-half years ago. It really was a scary time. I am in my 50s and starting over. I needed a plan for the future. I really wanted to do something I love, make money, and not feel like I am working constantly.”

Also two-and-a-half years ago, Stone moved to Walbridge and began designing a plan around what she loves. She wanted something that would combine her passion for crafting, upcycling, music, baked goods and charity.

She came up with Random Acts of Walbridge. The store, housed in a 120-yearold church, will be a cross between a craft/ consignment shop, a small bakery and coffee counter, with live music on the weekends.

“The philosophy will be a strong sense of community, focusing on all the good in people,” Stone said. “We will have ‘Nominate your Neighbor’ and ‘Pay it Forward’ days. We will carry items from local artisans, giving them a fun place to sell their items. Everyone will be able to pick up some unique items, have a cupcake and coffee, listen to music and chat with their neighbors.”

The consignment shop will have antiques, collectibles, crafts, wood working, jewelry, soaps, etc. Stone said she ran a similar type of store in New Jersey.

“As soon as we are open, I will let crafters and others know when they can bring in items for sale,” she said. “Everything is commission-based. They will be able to drop off items and get a check monthly.”

Stone said the small bakery counter will have cupcakes, cookies, and bread from local bakers. She is planning on having locally sourced coffee and soft drinks as well. There will be no big named-sodas.

“I am going to try and sell whatever is local,” She said. “We will have music on the weekends as well – coffeehouse-type of stuff. I am currently looking for guitar players for it.”

Stone will also be hosting classes – yoga, meditation, mosaics, quilting, stained glass, cake-decorating and more are being considered.

“The classes will be what the community is interested in,” said Stone. “It will be great for people who just need some ‘me time’ to come and be with people who like the same things. It will be good to pick up a new skill.”

Random Acts of Walbridge is also start-

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) ing a teen group, called the Random Act Patrol, that will work to help people who need help doing small jobs around their home. Her daughter, Willow, a freshman at Lake High School, will work with the group.

“Someone can call me if they know of someone who needs some help,” Stone said. “All of the work will be done with adult supervision. I would like the teens to help spread kindness around. If they spot someone doing a good deed, they will also be able to give them a coupon for a free sweet at the store.”

Random Acts of Walbridge is located at 209 N. Main St., across from the 7-Eleven.

Hours will be Monday- Wednesday, from 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Thursday through Saturday,

10 a.m.-9:30 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m.-4 pm.

“I think the message I want to express in opening this store is you can recover and come back even stronger after a personal crisis,” she said. “The world was pretty scary for me for a while. If I can do anything to make my little part of the world a little kinder and gentler for people, I will.

Hopefully that’s what ‘Random Acts of Walbridge’ will promote.”

Stone is waiting for final inspections, which should be completed next week. For current info on the exact opening day, visit the Facebook page or http://randomactsofwalbridge.com.

The holidays are a fairly emotional time of the year for most of us. For some people, the holiday period brings memories of warm family gatherings and happy times. For others, it may bring feelings of depression related to loved ones who have passed on, or simply of childhood memories and experiences that weren’t very pleasant.

While our memories and experiences of holidays past are not something we can change, we can try to ensure that the current holidays don’t add to any emotional burden we may already have. That may sound complicated, but actually all it means is having a little more awareness of the emotions we face at this time of the year, and of taking a little more control of our lives and actions so that we don’t end up feeling bad about this year’s holiday season.

An easy starting point? Pay more attention to your food and drink intake.

Yes, Thanksgiving dinner and holiday parties offer many opportunities to over-indulge, but you are the one in control of your actions and choices. Limiting yourself to one helping of dessert, or refusing Uncle Waldo’s constant offers of more wine, doesn’t mean that you’re depriving yourself, but rather simply enjoying the holiday in moderation.

And, most importantly, you won’t feel guilty the day after, or face January with the problem of an expanded waistline. Your job is to try and be sensible and not add more anxiety and stress to what you may already be feeling.

That’s especially true when it comes to holiday parties. Yes, these are additional opportunities to be tempted by too much of too many wrong things to eat, but far too often a bigger problem is the opportunity to consume too much alcohol. All it takes is one office party and one drink too many and suddenly you’ve said or done something that you’ll not only regret the next day but that may negatively affect your career.

Yes, you want to enjoy this holiday season, but it’s important to remember that you, at all times, are the one in control of you.

All dogs can be adopted for $5 from 6 a.m.- 8 a.m.; $10 from 8 a.m.-10 a.m., and $15 from 10 a.m.-noon. The shelter will close at noon.

In addition to the special adoption fees, there will be door prizes and food trucks will be parked outside the shelter at 410 S. Erie St. Those who adopt dogs must be responsible for buying licenses ($25 for Lucas County residents) for their new pet. The new licenses will be valid through the remainder of 2018 and all of 2019.

All dogs available for adoption out are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, dewormed, and microchipped.

Lucas County Canine Care & Control has more than 80 dogs and puppies available for adoption and more dogs are going up for adoption every day.

Canine Care & Control urges those looking to adopt a pet to bring their family as well as any resident dogs into the center to meet a potential new four-legged family member. This will allow the Canine Care & Control staff to make the best match for your home.

For those who are unable to adopt at this time but still want to help the animals, Lucas County Canine Care & Control has volunteer opportunities. Anyone who is at least 18 years old can volunteer.

The agency also welcomes donated goods, such as blankets, towels, and dog supplies.

To learn more about Lucas County Canine Care & Control and to view dogs up for adoption, visit www.lucascountydogs. com.

Tug Ohio: Before & After The National Museum of the Great Lakes is making available a limited number of tours of their newest acquisition - the tug Ohio.

The 115-year-old tug, which was gifted to the museum by the Great Lakes Towing Company this fall, has taken its place as Toledo’s newest marine artifact at the stern of the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship.

NMGL Executive Director, Christopher Gillcrist, stated, “We have had such a significant public demand for people to see the tug right away, we came up with a program to make that possible - The Tug Ohio: Before and After Experience.”

The event is a chance for the general public and members of the museum to see the vessel prior to its restoration work, which will take place over this coming winter and spring. During the tug viewing event this fall, participants will be led through the tug by docents who will discuss the history of Great Lakes Towing, the history of the Ohio, issues related to towing

Family Briefs in general and plans for the Ohio’s restoration.

Then in late spring of 2019, these same participants will be invited back to see the tug prior to her public grand opening once the restoration is complete and to watch her be rechristened as the Museum Ship Tug Ohio. “Yes, we will break a champagne bottle over her gunnel,” said Gillcrist.

Tickets are free for Members and $15 for non-members. Museum admission is included. Tours will take place every 45 minutes beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1; and 11 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2.

There are a limited number of tickets offered per day and tickets will be for specific time periods. All attendees, member and non-member, must register for a time slot at tugohio.eventbrite.com or by calling the museum at 419-214-5000.

Children under 12 years of age will not be permitted due to sloping decks, steep stairs and tight quarters. For participant safety, all attendees are asked to wear sensible shoes and clothing.

Best Gift Ever

Children Services kicks off 2018 holiday gift drive The holiday season is almost upon us, and Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) is once again asking area residents to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give the Best Gift Everâ&#x20AC;? this holiday season.

The agency is kicking off its annual Holiday Gift Drive, which is co-sponsored by the Friends of Lucas County Children Services (FLCCS) and several community partners. The community-based campaign is expected to provide gifts to as many as 2,500 children who are victims of abuse and neglect. Gift collection runs through Dec. 14.

The drive provides gifts for children living in foster care, with relatives or with their families under LCCS supervision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a difficult year for the children of Lucas County. Our data tells us that abuse and neglect continue to rise,

in no small part to the incidence of substance abuse in our community. Giving these children a reason to smile at the holiday season is really important. Lucas County residents have been very generous in the past, and we hope they will continue that tradition of giving,â&#x20AC;? says Robin Reese, LCCS executive director.

The gift drive provides toys for children from birth to age 18. While we are seeking gifts for all age groups, the agency is in particular need of gifts for children of all ethnic groups who are newborn to 3 years old, and gift cards for teenagers.

Several community partners are again stepping up to support the gift drive. Key sponsors include PNC Bank; Bennett Management Corp., a franchisee of Burger King Corp., and La-Z-Boy. Other partners include Allshred Services, Barnes & Noble

Toledo, Brondes Ford, The Countertop Shop, DANA Corporation, Franklin Park Mall, Levis Commons, Teamsters Local 20, Toledo Auto Care, radio station WRVF 101.5 The River, WTOL and Woodcraft.

Local residents are encouraged to drop a new, unwrapped toy in the collection boxes located around the community: â&#x20AC;˘ La-Z-Boy Furniture stores, 3316 Navarre Ave. in Oregon; 5804 Airport Hwy. and 5173 Monroe St. in Toledo. â&#x20AC;˘ All Toledo-area Burger King restaurants in Northwood, Oregon, Toledo, Holland, Maumee and Lambertville, Michigan. â&#x20AC;˘ Allshred Services, 3940 Technology Dr. in Maumee. â&#x20AC;˘ Brondes Ford, 1511 Reynolds Rd., Maumee and 5545 Secor Rd., Toledo.

Wedding days can be hecĆ&#x;c Wedding days can be hecĆ&#x;c. In fact, many couples note aĹ&#x152;er tying the knot that their wedding days were so busy that the ceremonies and recepĆ&#x;ons were over before they knew it.

CreaĆ&#x;ng a wedding day schedule can seem like a daunĆ&#x;ng task. But certain scheduling strategies can help couples ensure they look their best and make it to the altar on Ć&#x;me.

Start with the ceremony. Couples can establish a framework for their wedding day schedule by working back from the ceremony. Once the ceremony Ć&#x;me is set, couples who plan to take photos before their ceremonies can then work with their photographers to determine how much Ć&#x;me they

will need for photos and where they want to take the photos. Bridal parĆ&#x;es may need transportaĆ&#x;on to the photo session, so determining when and where to take photos before the ceremony gives couples an idea of when to arrange for pickup.

ConÄŽrm when the wedding venue is open to the wedding party. Before booking hair and makeup appointments, couples should conÄŽrm when they will be able to access their wedding venue. Brides may want to get their hair and makeup done at the ceremony sight, but that may only be possible if the venue opens early for the wedding party. If it does not, then brides must account for transportaĆ&#x;on Ć&#x;me to the ceremony sight when making their wedding day schedules.

Determine how much Ć&#x;me is needed for hair and makeup. Weddings that feature large bridal parĆ&#x;es will require more Ć&#x;me for hair and makeup than ceremonies with small bridal parĆ&#x;es. Grooms and groomsmen oĹ&#x152;en take care of their own hair, though some grooms might want to schedule hot shaves for themselves and their groomsmen. Brides with large bridal parĆ&#x;es may need to book more than two hair and makeup arĆ&#x;sts so everyone can get done on Ć&#x;me. Wedding hair and makeup sessions can last several hours for large bridal parĆ&#x;es, so brides should schedule their sessions early if their parĆ&#x;es are big.

Make lunch arrangements. Some couples choose to Ć&#x;e the knot and host their recepĆ&#x;ons at the same venue. In such instances, if brides are geĆŤng their hair and makeup done at the venue, ask the venue representaĆ&#x;ve if lunch can be provided to the bridal party. Some venues may include small lunch buÄŤets in their recepĆ&#x;on costs, while others might charge extra. ConÄŽrm the availability and costs, and if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unavailable or too expensive, then arrange for lunch to be delivered. Either way, couples should not skip lunch, as it may be their only chance to eat unĆ&#x;l aĹ&#x152;er the ceremony.

Distribute your schedule to one another and the bridal party. Once the wedding day schedule has been devised, couples should share it with each other and their wedding parĆ&#x;es. Grooms wedding day to-do lists might not be as extensive as brides, but grooms should sĆ&#x;ll be kept in the loop regarding the schedule so they can help if anyone has quesĆ&#x;ons or if something goes awry. Sharing the schedule with the wedding party decreases the chances of someone being late or missing an appointment.

Wishes help keep pediatric patients out of the hospital Cimone Stills, 15, has a medical condition that has caused her to have multiple seizures a day for most of her life. Specifically, she has treatment-resistant generalized epilepsy because of a genetic variation. Like many patients with such a serious illness, it affects her daily life and as a result, she was diagnosed with clinical depression. But Cimoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outlook on life completely changed for the better after her wish of going to Paris.

Cimone says that the wish helped provide her perspective and hope. It also helped reduced her number of seizures over time.

As a member of the Medical Advisory Council of Make-A-Wish America, Anup Patel, MD, section chief of Neurology at Nationwide Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, anecdotally could attest that wishes like Cimoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positively affected the patients he saw in the Complex Epilepsy Clinic at Nationwide Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. As a clinician, he sought evidence to support his hypothesis that these experiences provided children with

Whatever a child has wished for â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a puppy, seeing snow for the first time or to meet their favorite celebrity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a recent study led

by Nationwide Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demonstrates that experiences, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;wishes,â&#x20AC;? granted to pediatric patients can actually reduce health care utilization. In the retrospective study published online by Pediatric Research, patients granted a wish were 2.5 times more likely to have fewer

unplanned hospital admissions and 1.9 times more likely not to have to use the emergency department. This led to a decline in cost of care even after accounting for the average cost of the wish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My patients have about a 1 to 3 percent chance of ever becoming seizure-free. Not every patient of mine who gets a wish is going to come back seizure-free, but they are going to improve,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Patel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their quality of life is going to be better and that might have an indirect impact on their seizures. They may have fewer seizures as a result, or be more likely to take their medications. Moreover, we are able to give them something they would not otherwise get: a break from their illness.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wish that was granted in 1988 changed the way I felt about my illness, and it motivated me to fight even harder, to believe even more that there was a future for me,â&#x20AC;? said Tiffany Rowe, Make-A-Wish recipient and chair of the Make-A-Wish National Board

The study compared patients who received or did not receive a wish and associated impact on healthcare utilization and costs across two years. From 2011 to 2016, 496 Nationwide Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital patients received a wish. These were matched to the same number of a control group based on age, gender, disease category and disease complexity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wishes are a nice thing to do for a patient, their family and siblings, but for the first time this study lets us say that a wish is more than just nice,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Patel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A wish is something that potentially can help the health of a child get better over time, impact healthcare utilization and reduce dollars spent on healthcare.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Patel says larger populations of wish-receiving patients need to be studied to determine if this pilot study can be replicated, and to help researchers understand why wishes have such a positive impact.

Luke Coffman relishes running community, winning

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

25-second personal record Qualifying for state, Coffman finished sixth at the Tiffin regional meet with a time of 16:18.94.

Luke Coffman at the state meet.

“That was fantastic. I wasn’t sure if I had it,” Coffman said. “I knew it would take everything I had. I had a 25-second PR. It was pretty crazy — it was this other guy and I battling it out at the end and making it to state was really cool.”

That time puts him fifth all-time in Eastwood cross country history, following Corey Johnson (15:43, 2005), Ryan Schroeder (16:03, 2002), Garrett Gabel (16:08, 1998) and Jeff Bennett (16:11, 1985).

That doesn’t include Mark Mellum, a 1975 state champion from Eastwood who at that time ran the two mile, not the 5K. Following those top five continues like a who’s who of Eastwood runners — Jimmy O’Brien (16:20, 2003), Dave Lattanza (16:20, 1982), Keith Madaras (16:21, 1986), Tim Hoodlebrink (16:22, 2013), Jon Koppenhofer (16:25, 1995), Gabe Fredericks (16:40, 2012), Marty Smith (16:43, 1985) and Levi Sybert (16:45, 1995).

Schneider-Sims believed all year that Coffman could qualify for the state meet.

“I thought he had a shot at state coming off of last year,” Schneider-Sims said.

“He finished 19th last year at regionals, so he was there. He was close, and that is experience. That’s his first time. I remember a year ago at districts, he won the district as a sophomore and he was so nervous

before that race. I’ve never seen him like that. I mean, you need that year. You need to gain experience and you need to calm yourself.”

Schneider-Sims says it is Coffman’s work ethic that has gotten him this far.

“I thought he had a phenomenal season. He’s a workhorse,” Schneider-Sims said. “When he has his mind set on something, he is going to go after it. He’s one that when he sets a goal, he doesn’t want to miss it.

“What I like about his practice is that he’s going to do what we want him to do every day and never slack of. If we are doing any kind of speed work, if he misses something at an interval, even by a tenth of a second, it’s bad, because that is just how he is. One of the things that I think is hard for other people to see, but I think it gains some respect, is that he expects that out of others, too.”

“

It’s fun to go to new places and run. It’s fun to do that with your friends and you feel good about yourself doing it.

“

Long distance runners have their own community, and that was proven when some of the area’s top runners were injured this year.

Eastwood junior Luke Coffman, a Division II state qualifier, is the Alan Miller Jewelers Cross Country Runner of the Year. However, there were at least two other runners, one male and one female, who would have likely qualified for the Hebron, Ohio meet if they had stayed healthy.

When that happens, it doesn’t always make the competition happier. No one is celebrating, and that includes Coffman.

Coffman was preparing for Genoa runner Sean Hoeft to give him a run for the money at the league meet, but that didn’t happen because of an injury. However, that showdown was motivating Coffman all season.

“So, I knew coming into this year where (Coffman’s) head was,” Eastwood cross country coach Stephanie SchneiderSims said. “He worked really hard in the offseason and end of season because he thought he would battle Sean Hoeft of Genoa for that spot because they battled last year.

“Honestly, he was upset when Sean got hurt because he knows that competition makes both of them get better. I talked with Genoa’s coach at times and didn’t know if Sean would be back — we hoped that he would. So, when we knew that Sean wasn’t going to be back, Luke was like, ‘OK’ — he knew that the target was on his back, too. But I think he’s respected by other runners.”

Coffman must be respected by other runners because he got that respect when he won the NBC race, finishing in 16:56.31, less than 18 seconds ahead of Otsego runner Ashton Serrato (17:14.38).

“It was a great race especially because there were four of us who were like the top four, and three of them that weren’t me were actually ahead of me,” Coffman said.

“I actually caught up to them, but when I was passing them, Ashton Serrato from Otsego stuck out his hand for me to slap as I went by. That was really cool.”

Schneider-Sims added, “Obviously, what he said about Ashton Seratto — I think that’s pretty cool, pretty awesome.

Luke is that way, too — he’s friendly with other runners.”

The state meet at National Trail Raceway in Hebron was pushed back a week because of muddy conditions. It wasn’t much better the following week as Coffman finished in 17:16.2, good enough for 34th place out of 178 runners. It wasn’t the race he wanted.

“I ran the race wrong, but other than that I was happy with it. I had no energy left, which was kind of the goal. It was tough, especially, because it was super muddy,” Coffman said.

Schneider-Sims added, “This year it was the muddiest course I’ve ever seen in 23 years. It was deep in spots. I don’t think anybody has ever run on a course like that.”

2017 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Cross Country Honor Roll

Becoming a leader You talk about the running community — that’s partly what got Schneider-Sims to leave the football team and join the cross country team. He was voted a team captain this season, his junior year, even though last year was his first season running.

“He didn’t have cross country as a freshman,” Schneider-Sims said. “He played football but running has always

been his thing. He set some records in junior high track and then even during football his freshman year, he would finish football practice and come run with us sometimes, just because that is what he likes and a lot of his friends are on the cross country team, so he likes to be around them. So, I knew in junior high, because I coached him in junior high track, he was going to be good, and he is that good.”

Coffman says his work ethic will keep him running even though the high school season is over.

“I like to run farther than I do fast. My friend (teammate) Dylan (Brogan) and I go to Oak Openings and other parks to run really far sometimes. One time I actually shut down my own immune system — it was good. It’s just fun to go to new places and run. It’s fun to do that with your friends and you feel good about yourself doing it.”

Coffman admits he will have to continue to be a leader on this squad, and he hopes that can lead to even better results his senior year.

“Next year I really just want the whole team to go to state,” Coffman said. “I want the whole season to continue for them like it did for me and see what we can do.

“I’ll do my best — usually we just stick to whatever we’ve been doing during the cross country season. If you are running, then Tuesdays and Thursdays are fast and everything else is long. We’ll see how many people we can keep running and see how many do track and stuff, too — that will be a big factor, I think.”

Coffman leads up the All-Press Cross Country Honor Roll, which includes state and regional qualifiers, and anyone whose league time is among the top 15 from the area’s 20 cross country teams.

Bekier, Gyori play role in getting Owens national title

By Chris Schmidbauer Owens Sports Information Director christopher_schmidbauer@owens.edu For the first time in program history, the Owens Express Volleyball program is a national champion.

The Express got a kill from Carlie Bengela on the match’s final serve from Kara Schafer to claim the national crown.

Playing a role was freshman outside hitter Kayla Bekier (Lake) and assistant coach Kristen Gyori (Clay), who was in her second year. In 43 matches, Bekier had 111 sets, 199 kills (1.79 per set), 499 attacks, three service aces, 49 digs, 59 blocks, and 239.5 points.

For their efforts in the tournament, Michaela Eisenhauer won the tournament’s Most Valuable Player Award. The sophomore had 19 kills in the national title match to go along with her other 22 kills from the previous two matches.

Summer Sweeting and Kennedy Ames were also both named to the AllTournament Team. Sweeting had 29 assists and two aces in the match. She finished with 70 total assists and eight aces for the tournament. Ames finished with 26 kills total for the tournament as well.

Coach Sonny Lewis was named Coach of the Year for Division III as well. Lewis, who is in his 18th year at Owens as head coach, has a 234-20 overall record with the Express. The Express have won the last four OCCAC championships under his tutelage, and now they have the program’s first national championship.

The Express finished the season at 40-6 overall. That ties last year’s team for most wins in a season at 40. Owens closed the year out on a 15 game winning streak.

They had an undefeated season at home for the second straight year as well.

Owens won Region XII, beating Lorain County 3-0, and they won the District I/J Tournament last weekend, beating Lorain again 3-0 to advance to the NJCAA D-III national tournament.

The Express have come close before.

The team finished third in the country in 2016-17 and then was the National Runner-Up a year ago, when the team was 40-1, losing just the national title match to Coffeyville. Both of those accolades came at the Division II level.

This year was different for the Express.

Owens Athletics moved all of its programs from Division II to Division III starting with 2018-19 season. The Express lost all but three players from that second place finisher a year ago. The program brought in 10 freshmen to compete for the team this season, and the team was a bit of an unknown as the year began. Owens lost their first match of the season, before finding their stride, ripping off a 19-win streak.

They ascended to as high as No. 2 in the country in Division III. Owens hit a midseason snag, losing four of their next 11 matches. The losses dropped them one spot to No. 3 in the National Poll. The team rebounded, though, winning their next eight matches in a row, which jumped them to the No. 1 ranking in the country.

The Express opened the national tournament on Thursday, sweeping Queensborough College 3-0. On Friday, Owens again swept their opponent, Rochester, 3-0 to advance to Saturday’s title match against Eastfield College. Eastfield forced a fifth set, something Owens had not yet dealt with this year. No match, whether it be a win or loss, had gone more than four sets for the Express.

The two teams traded points. Owens trailed early but tied the score at 5-5 after a block by Kara Evers and Carlie Bengela.

They took their first lead of the set at 7-6 a few moments later, when Kalli Caddell was called for a ball handling penalty.

The score was retied at seven before the Express rallied for three straight points, taking a 10-7 lead. The Harvesters called a timeout and fought their way back into the set. They retied the score at 11-11.

It was now the Express’s turn to take their timeout in the fifth set. Owens and Eastfield traded points, and the Express would set up match point after a block by Kara Evers.

Lewis subbed in Carlie Bengela and Kara Schafer for the match point. Schafer served for the Express. Her serve was volleyed back over the net. Bengela was ready on the attack, as she drove the ball off the fingertips of Kalli Caddell of Eastfield.

The ball fell out of bounds, and the match was over. Owens took the decisive set and the program’s first national championship and the school’s first national title since the 1992-93 Men’s Basketball team won a national championship.

Seniors rely on underclassmen to get job done For Genoa’s football seniors, sweeping through 12 games and reaching the Division V regional final was a goal realized.

“It’s been a really special season,” said 5-foot-9, 190 pound lineman Corwin Berry.

“The guys are really coming together. Being a family has been a big emphasis this year and we’ve really put that together and been like a big band of brothers and we all play for each other week in and week out.”

When the season began, there were some uncertainties on a team that knew it had talented skilled players. The concern was over a young line, and it forced seniors like Barry to become leaders.

“You definitely have to take on a leadership role, for sure,” said Berry. “I started both ways last year, rotated a little but on defense had a little more experience.

“I played guard last year and moved to tackle this year, so I know a lot of the different spots. I had to help dudes develop a little bit. I helped them learn their plays, help them know their footwork and the lit-

tle details. So, I mean I definitely felt like I took on a little bit more of a leadership role this year,” Berry continued.

Now that they are in the playoffs taking on the heavyweights, the Comets are finding out that sometimes their linemen are outsized. There were only nine seniors on the roster to start the season and most of them were skilled players, so most of the linemen are underclassmen. That doesn’t bother Barry.

“We’ve been smaller than everyone else all year. We are not a big offensive line,” Berry said. “We just come out and we play aggressive and we play Genoa Comet football. The cards fall the right way. We’ve got great backs who follow the right blocks and it comes down to the very detailed things. You do your assignment right, your block will end up right, and the play will end up going the right way.”

In Genoa’s 42-41 regional semifinal win over Elyria Catholic, the Comets were down 35-26 at halftime, so something had to be done. It got done as Genoa scored the next 16 points and then held on for a victory. Still, giving up five touchdowns in the first half made the Comets look vulnerable, and 41 points was the most scored on No. 1

ranked Genoa all season.

“We just made a couple adjustments with some people at halftime,” said coach Paul Patterson. “It was huge for us on those first three possessions for us coming out of halftime. We got the ball, so we had to go down to score and we knew that, and we had to get a stop, and we did, and then we were able to go back down and score again.

“So, that’s all it was — a couple minor adjustments to what we were doing. Nothing major and the kids went out and executed. It was definitely a tight one at the end.”

Patterson said Elyria Catholic’s passing game behind quarterback Cameron English was very difficult to stop.

“Their receivers made some outstanding catches,” Patterson said. “We had kids well-covered.”

Part of the strategy in the second half was to get to English before he could get to his receivers, and it worked enough to keep the Panthers from scoring again until the fourth quarter.

“We blitzed a little more, and that was part of it — making sure we got pressure on the quarterback and we had to do that whether it was blitzing or with the four guys up front,” Patterson said.

Three sisters, all NCAA D-I athletes, keep family busy

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It would be impossible for Don Hess and his wife, Karen, to own just one family vehicle.

Not when they have three daughters going to college in Ohio and Indiana, and not when all three of them play collegiate sports. Twins Haley and Hannah (Haley is seven minutes older) and younger sister Sydney attend the University of Akron, Purdue University Fort Wayne, and the University of Cincinnati, respectively.

Don and Karen attend as many of their daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; events as they can, whether that means driving 12 hours round trip to watch a basketball game or heading off in different directions to take in a cross-country meet or track and field event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take care of the logistics and there is some planning involved,â&#x20AC;? said Don, who has coached soccer, basketball and track at Clay High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go to everything at home. If there are conflicting days, then we have a problem, but we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had too many conflicting days. If there is, we usually go in opposite directions.â&#x20AC;?

Don just completed his 21st season coaching a fall sport at Clay. His girls soccer team finished with a 12-4-2 record this season; Sydney, 19, was a senior on the 2016 Clay squad that reached the district finals.

She is now a sophomore at Cincinnati and runs cross country and track while studying biochemistry.

Haley, 21, an exercise science major, is a junior at Akron and runs cross country and track. Hannah is a 5-foot-10 redshirt sophomore guard at Purdue University Fort Wayne and is majoring in biology.

All three girls attest to the fact that one or both of their parents attend most home meets or games, and they go to as many away events as they can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insane that they set aside so much of their time to sit in a car for six hours,â&#x20AC;?

Sydney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always come to everything. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how they do it. They went to two of Haleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races and then they come to mine. I feel bad sometimes because they feel bad they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to all of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They went to the one (meet) in Illinois, my mom came to one in Louisville, and they went to the University of Kentucky last year when Haley and I were in the same meet. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to a lot of stuff that was pretty far away.â&#x20AC;?

Don and Karen traveled to Kalamazoo, Mich., on Nov. 8 to watch Hannah and the Mastodons face Western Michigan. They drove to Terre Haute, Ind., the next day to watch Haley compete in the NCAA Great Lakes Region Championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had her best race of the season,â&#x20AC;?

Don said.

Haley placed 34th at the Mid-American Conference Championships at Ottawa Park this season, helping Akron finish 8th out of 12 teams. She was 43rd at the last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MAC meet, and she placed 50th as a freshman. She was consistently one of the Zipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top three runners this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did OK, but it was not my best season,â&#x20AC;? Haley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was running pretty consistent times. It was a decent season, but there is definitely room for improvement.â&#x20AC;?

Haley said her parents have watched her compete at meets at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Va.; in Cedarville, Ohio, at the All-Ohio meet; at Penn State; and at

Hannah Hess. (Purdue Fort Wayne photo by Aaron Suozzi) the 2017 MAC Championships in Oxford, Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year they had to go to both mine and Sydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meets, and they split that up equally,â&#x20AC;? Haley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been everywhere. They went to one of Hannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games and drove right to my meet the next day. It means a lot, just to know they support us all and take the time out of their work schedules. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running at a (spectator) friendly course and they can find runners in different spots, I usually hear my dad first with a pretty loud voice. Same with my mom. They are both encouraging.â&#x20AC;?

Hannah, a first-team All-Ohio pick in basketball during her senior season at Clay in 2015-16, said her parents were in the stands for Purdue Fort Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three games this season.

Haley Hess. (University of Akron photo by Jeff Harwell)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any game they can come to, they do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having their support, always trying to be there, is awesome. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been so supportive and always been there.

My dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s into the game, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too fired up about calls. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely developed into a basketball fan over the years.â&#x20AC;?

Don added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fort Wayne is about an hour and 45 minutes away. When she plays at home, we leave about two hours before tip-off. We were there Monday.â&#x20AC;?

Hannah played well in front of her parents on Monday, scoring a career-high 16 points with seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and one blocked shot in the Mastodonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 84-74 win over Taylor (Ind.) University.

Sydney did not run at the Great Lakes

Region Championships last Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was sick the week before, and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why my coach decided not to take me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was injured coming into the season. I had some tendonitis in my (right) foot and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t race the first two cross-country races and had a late start. I did improve from last year. Overall, it was a good season.â&#x20AC;?

She added that she will probably compete at 800, 1,600 and 3,000 meters for the Bearcats during the indoor track season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom and Dad are very proud of all of them.â&#x20AC;? Don said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are great kids and they are doing fantastic in school. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud of them. It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been easy. Nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been handed to them.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked for everything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten.â&#x20AC;?

Inspirational Message of the Week: Vale of Tears The world has often been described as a vale of tears, a place of profound and often pointless suffering. Many of the psalms are drenched in those tears, and even the usually hopeful Saint Paul describes creation as “groaning as in the pains of childbirth.”(Romans 8:22 NIV) Ecclesiastes says “And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.”(Ecclesiastes 4:2-3 NIV) It would be foolish to deny that the world is rife with suffering, and yet perhaps all this pessimism says more about the

philosophers and psalmists than it does about the world. Life is surely also a source of great pleasure and indescribable beauty, and many of us find meaning in life precisely to the extent that we help to relieve the suffering of ourselves and others. We shouldn’t deny the pain and suffering inherent in the world, but we shouldn’t fall prey to the delusion that it is all there is to the world. “Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” —Psalm 34:12-14 NIV
