By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council earlier this month approved a resolution requesting that the State of Ohio provide the public with annual reports on Lake Erie nutrient reduction and to require new and expanding livestock operations’ manure to meet the same requirements as commercial fertilizer. Oregon, Toledo, Carroll Township, and Ottawa County are incurring increased costs for treatment, monitoring, and facilities because of the continuing threat of harmful algae - related toxins, according to the resolution. “This is in response to the algal bloom this year in Lake Erie, which is the third largest out of the last five years,” said Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, who introduced the resolution to council. Bihn is executive director of Lake Erie Waterkeeper Inc. “We’ve had four record years. The data from Heidelberg shows it’s not getting any better, we’re not gaining on this.” For 40 years, Heidelberg University’s National Center for Water Quality Research has been measuring pollution in rivers and streams that feed Lake Erie. Decades of monitoring has led to the conclusion that phosphorous runoff, primarily from agricultural lands, is feeding cyanobacterial (blue green algae) growth in the warm shallow waters of the western basin. Accountability “Some of us are very concerned its persistence and perhaps growth is not going away, and that the path we’re on is not working,” said Bihn. “To respond to that in a meaningful way to help to gauge where we’re at, this resolution seeks to ask the State of Ohio to tell us every year how much phosphorous is coming into the system, both total and dissolved, to tell us if we’re gaining or losing, and if we’re not (gaining) to do something about it. We’re asking for accountability. We’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars, and no one can tell us how much phosphorous has been reduced.” The International Joint Commission (IJC) economic study of the western basin of Lake Erie estimates $75 million in lost economic benefits from the 2011 algal bloom and $65 million in lost economic benefits from the 2014 algal bloom from beach going, recreation, boating and fishing, and that the record algae bloom of 2017 has substantial economic impacts. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 2017 algal bloom is the third largest recorded algal bloom in Lake Erie.

Oregon ok’s higher costs for projects By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council agreed to cover increased costs of construction of the relocated Cedar Point Road and Dupont Road project, and the Wynn Road Sanitary Sewer project for Underground Utilities, Inc., the general contractor. The $6,984,007.26 cost of the projects increased by $57,165.50 for a total cost of $7,041,172.76. “You’re aware of the magnitude and size of the relocation of Cedar Point Road,” Mayor Mike Seferian said to city council. It’s not unusual, he added, to have project costs increase if unanticipated problems arise. The city started working on the project with BP-Husky in 2013. The project consists of two parts: Relocating a portion of Cedar Point Road approximately one quarter mile south of its previous location, and relocating a portion of Dupont Road approximately one quarter mile east of its previous location, both of which are located between Wynn and Otter Creek roads. The project allows BP-Husky to move non-essential refining activities and personnel away from the center of refining activity

without having to cross major traffic routes. The project included the installation of 12” to 24” sanitary sewer along the west side of Wynn Road from Eagle’s Landing Drive to just south of Wynnscape Drive to meet current and future needs for sanitary sewer service. While installing the sewer under Wynn Road, the company encountered soils that differed from those that were in a soils report and found in excavations outside of the roadway. The ground along and underneath Wynn Road was not consistent with other parts of the area and was not identified in the soil borings provided at the time of the bid, according to Underground Utilities, Inc. Soil problems “Wynn Road appears to be constructed on top of an old ditch bottom consisting of a soft, organic, mucky soil that would fracture off at a depth of approximately 14’ deep and cave into the trench. This undermined the road and caused lost production and additional granular backfill that could not have been anticipated at the time of the bid,” states a letter from Underground Utilities, Inc., to the city. Oregon initially contested the increased cost, also called a “change order,” after con-
sultation with Bowser Morner, whose geotechnical engineer’s field report stated: “In our opinion, the exposed soils consisted of virgin soil deposits, not previous fill materials.” Bowser Morner further stated in its conclusions: “In our opinion, the contractor’s assertion of a changed condition is not valid.” Eventually, the city agreed with the soil problems, said Public Service Director Paul Roman. But they didn’t agree with the change order amount. “We agreed they did have difficulties, Continued on page 4

Task force report on Alzheimer's By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A task force of legislators and others studying the impact of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia on the health care system and other issues related to aging may have a report to present to the Ohio House Aging and Long-Term Care Committee by early next year. Steve Arndt, R- Port Clinton, who chairs the newly-formed committee, said last week a bill based on the task force
recommendations could also be prepared early in 2018. “The committee has been looking at other states and their policies that are similar to Ohio’s. We do expect to see a bill pertaining to memory care and training requirements. We are working on a definition on what a memory care unit is and what kind of training those workers would be required to have. There is a lot of leg work being done to be mindful of what meaningful legislation should encompass,” Arndt said. House Speaker Clifford Rosenberger, R – Clarksville, early this year announced the formation of several task forces to address policy areas in Ohio, including the Task Force on Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Representative Dorothy Pelanda, R – Marysville, was chosen to head the task force. She is also vice chair of the Aging and Long-Term Care Committee. In August, Pelanda said the goal of the task force is to produce up to three bills based on the research it gathers and to cre-
ate a statewide care plan for Alzheimer’s and dementia. Formed on Jan. 1, the Aging and LongTerm Care Committee is a new standing committee of the House and Arndt its first chairman. The panel heard testimony this month from Beverley Laubert, the state’s long-term care omsbudsman. Her office has responded to about 11,000 reports of problems in 2017, she said. “The highest percentage of those were reported by and on behalf of nursing home residents, followed by assisted living. Nursing home residents know their ombudsman better because most of our volunteer resources are concentrated in nursing homes. We have a goal to reach residents of adult care facilities (homes with 3-16 residents, licensed by the Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services) with greater frequency in 2018,” she said. Laubert told the committee the top
complaints don’t change significantly from year to year. “Discharge, mostly from nursing homes, is a common issue nationally. Due in part to the frequency of discharge problems, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a regulation requiring nursing homes to send copies of transfer and discharge notices to the Ombudsman. Since the requirement began a year ago, we have received about 100 notices a month. When residents asked for help, ombudsman representatives resolved 58 percent of complaints without a hearing and when assisting a resident to appeal, the resident won 55 percent of the time,” she said. Last week, Rep. Arndt received the Elected Official Advocacy Award from the Ohio Association of Area Agencies on Aging. The award is given to those who have worked with the organization to improve the lives of older Ohioans and those with disabilities.

Ohio releases plan to cut nutrients in Lake Erie The Ohio Lake Erie Commission and the State of Ohio have completed the Ohio Domestic Action Plan (DAP) 1.0 to reduce phosphorus entering Lake Erie under the bi-national Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement with a goal of reducing phosphorus loading to Lake Erie by 40 percent by 2025. This version of the Ohio DAP is being provided to U.S. EPA for review and comment and to serve as Ohio’s part of the U.S. Domestic Action Plan, the final version of which is due in Feb. 2018. This Ohio DAP 1.0 is a continuation and expansion of the Western Basin of Lake Erie Collaboration Implementation Framework finalized by the State of Ohio in early 2017. This first version uses, and all subsequent versions will use, the adaptive management process, which is central to the long-term implementation of the Ohio DAP. This means that water quality monitoring, sampling and nutrient management practices are being developed, evaluated and adjusted as circumstances change in order to meet the goals of the bi-national Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Verification that implemented programs are working to reduce nutrients from entering the lake will be needed as the state moves towards its goal. This Plan will change over time as needed to ensure Ohio is focusing on the correct practices to achieve the required nutrient reductions. The Commission hosted two public meetings on Sept. 12 and 13, 2017, to gather public input on the draft plan. Changes made to the plan based on public comment include in part:
•Expanded the adaptive management process concept and ability of the State to revise the Ohio DAP based on new information and circumstances; •Added “sentinel watersheds” that will be used in place of priority watersheds to monitor progress; •Clarified that the Ohio DAP may suggest, not establish, new regulatory or enforceable standards; •Established a table outlining actions, timelines, lead agency and milestones for various point and nonpoint actions; and •Tied in Ohio EPA’s Mass Balance Study and clarified the role of TMDLs in achieving nutrient reduction goals. The Ohio Lake Erie Commission will coordinate updating the Ohio Domestic Action Plan with Ohio EPA, Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA), Ohio Department of Health (ODH) and Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), who each share responsibility for implementing the plan. Each agency is accountable for implementing its respective areas of authority included in
the state plan to meet the overall 40 percent reduction. Since 2011, the State of Ohio has invested $2.5 billion in Ohio’s portion of the Lake Erie Basin for both point source and nonpoint source nutrient reduction and drinking water treatment. The DAP 1.0 was developed with input from various stakeholder groups and state agencies and is available at lakeerie.ohio.gov/LakeEriePlanning/ OhioDomesticActionPlan2018.aspx. The Ohio Lake Erie Commission was established to preserve Lake Erie’s natural resources, protect the quality of its waters and ecosystem and promote economic development in the region. The director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) serves as the commission’s chairman. Additional members include the directors of the state departments of Transportation, Health, Development Services, Agriculture, Natural Resources and five additional members appointed by Governor John Kasich.

White Star Quarry in Sandusky County is one of several locations to receive surplus trout from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The ODNR Division of Wildlife said it has a surplus at its fish hatcheries and would release hundreds of rainbow trout at select locations around the state, including White Star, Antrim Lake in Franklin County; Punderson Lake in Geauga County, Rush Run Lake in Preble County, and Westlake Recreation Center Lake in Cuyahoga County. Each location is receiving at least 300 catchable fish that are in the 9 to 15-inch range. Anglers are reminded that in these areas there is a daily bag limit of five fish and no minimum size limit. Rainbow and brown trout were released recently at Malabar Farm, Lucas, O., as part of a pilot project to evaluate both species’ suitability for future stockings in the area, according to the ODNR. The Inn Pond near the Malabar Farm Restaurant received 300 rainbow trout and Switzer Creek on the Malabar Farm State Park property received 400 brown trout. Both water bodies are spring fed and biologists think the water may be cool enough to support year-round fishing. Rainbow trout are also stocked every spring in public lakes and ponds across Ohio as long as areas are ice-free and accessible to anglers.

Resolution passed to fight algal blooms Continued from front page
More livestock There is a growth in the number of livestock animals, and thus the manure produced in the Lake Erie watershed. The most recent examples are an estimated additional 100 hog farms in Northwest Ohio with 2,500 hogs per farm that are needed to supply the new hog processing plant in Coldwater, Michigan. Also, there are an additional 4,500 dairy cows in the Auglaize/ Maumee watershed for Dannon Yogurt’s new GMO free facility. “It’s becoming an increasing problem,” said Bihn. “In the southern part of Michigan, there’s another dairy facility locating there, and they’re planning another cheese related dairy facility, which means more cows and manure. We can’t keep adding more to the system and expect the lake to get blue and stay blue for the season.”
“
Some of us are very concerned its persistence and perhaps growth is not going away, and that the path we’re on is not working.
“
percent phosphorous reduction goal in the lake by 2025, will not be met with current plans, according to the U.S. EPA. The Maumee River watershed contributes nearly half of the phosphorous to Lake Erie of which a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 2011 report estimates that 18-20 percent of the phosphorous is coming from runoff from manure, which amounts to about half of the phosphorous reduction needed to achieve the 40 percent; Taxpayers have spent up to one billion dollars to reduce Ohio Lake Erie phosphorous discharges, which produces harmful algae, primarily for volunteer agricultural best management practices over the last five years. There is no requirement to measure the phosphorous reductions the investment is intended to produce. In fact, Heidelberg’s data in the Maumee River shows limited to no dissolved phosphorous reductions over the last five years. Runoff from manure in August 2017 killed over 30,000 fish in three western Lake Erie basin streams resulting in fines by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Ohio policy allows phosphorous in soils where manure is applied to be 150 ppm or more compared to commercial fertilizer, which is lower. “If there’s any more livestock feeding operations, they should have to meet the same standards as fertilizer. Currently, manure is allowed to be applied and accumulated in the soil about four times of what fertilizer is supposed to be. It seems there should be a level playing field. Years ago, many of us were told that manure would replace fertilizer because manure has been applied to the fields for many years. And many of us accept that. But if you’re over-applying it, you’re not meeting the same standard as fertilizer, and that becomes problematic,” said Bihn. Oregon is requesting that the State of Ohio annually report dollars spent and pounds of phosphorous reduced getting into Lake Erie, according to the resolution. It also requests that the State of Ohio immediately adopt policies that require all new and expanding mid and large size livestock operations to require manure soil test phosphorus to be the same as crop need/agronomic rate of up to 40 ppm soil

phosphorous, and that all existing and mid and large size livestock manure phosphorous soil test requirements be the same as commercial fertilizer (40 ppm) within three years of when this policy is adopted. In addition, it requests that Ohio promote private and public investment in manure technology that eliminates phosphorous runoff from manure. Councilman Steve Hornyak asked Bihn if there were surrounding communities that are passing similar resolutions, and “are there any that are not located on the water that are starting to join the fight and be concerned about this as much as those of us who are located on the water.” “We’ve kind of been a leader on this,” said Bihn. “We would be the first to pass the resolution. There are other communities that are interested in this.” Quick recovery Councilman James Seaman said everyone should support efforts to reduce algal blooms in the lake. “I don’t think it matters if you’re living near the water or not,” said Seaman. “People need clean water, even if they don’t live on the lake. It’s just plain and simple.” Bihn said water is the city’s “greatest economic asset.” “We can attract industries and businesses here because of the quality of our water. People think it’s going to take decades to solve this problem. No it’s not. The water in the western basin of Lake Erie – most people don’t realize it – is only 24 feet deep. So we get the black eye and the problem quicker. But if we turn the corner and reduce [phosphorous], its solution is much quicker as well. If we reduce the run-off, and don’t produce the algae, we’re going to see recovery very quickly in the lake. That’s what a lot of us are looking for. We want the state to take this very seriously and does not keep marking time and kicking the can down the road.”
Project cost Continued from front page and it was part of the soils. We didn’t agree with the costs. We argued over that for some time. We finally agreed to split the cost 50/50,” said Roman. Safety Councilwoman Sandy Bihn questioned the safety of the relocated Cedar Point Road. “The intersection of Wynn and Cedar Point Road – you can’t see part of it, and it’s kind of a blinded view. I think there was an accident there two or three weeks ago,” she said. “There may be more. Somehow the configuration of the road and the visibility either needs some adjustment or needs some warnings, I think.” Roman said the intersection “meets all the standards.” “We did look at the site distance several times and it meets all the standards. Sometimes it’s hard to judge an intersection when you change the alignment,” said Roman. “You do want to get some history of it. For the accident that occurred - I’m not too sure of the cause. We are going to evaluate it further.” Flashing beacon stop signs are planned for the intersection, he said, as well as two other intersections. “We’re going to put in the flashing beacon stop signs at Pickle and Lallendorf, and will do it at Wynn and Cedar Point as well. We’ll continue to evaluate it,” he said. Flashing beacon stops signs will also be installed at the intersection of Corduroy and Lallendorf, he added. “That’s three intersections. We just ordered them and received them the other day,” said Roman. “I travel that route several times every day,” said Seferian. “You do have to look very cautiously at the traffic heading east. I guess the flashing stop signs could heighten your ability to look again. It could be a little tricky.”

Home septic improvement loans available Financial assistance is available from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund to help Ottawa County households repair or replace faulty septic systems. Nancy Osborn, health commissioner, said the health department is seeking qualified applicants for the program, which is administered by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. To qualify, dwellings must be located in the county and occupied by the property owner. All occupants over the age of 18 must have a combined income level that meets federal poverty guidelines. For a household of four persons at or below 100 percent of the poverty level, the maximum income is $24,300. Funding is available for households of up to four adults up to 300 percent of the poverty level. The program covers the initial pumping of the system, soil evaluation and design fees and fees for reviewing site and design plans, installation permit fees, repair costs and installation and material costs. Osborn said interested residents should contact the health department of-
fice, 419 734-6800, to start the verification of income eligibility. Once the verification is completed, the department will start the bidding process with soil scientists, designer and contractors in the county. A contract will then be awarded and the system repaired or installed. The health department will then inspect the system. “Once the applicant is approved the whole process from soils analysis/design to final installation could take four to six months depending on the weather and OEPA’s approval process,” Osborn said. Eligible homeowners will receive 100 percent, 85 percent or a 50 percent share in principal forgiveness for the cost to repair or replace their failing septic systems depending on their income level.

Local organizations benefit from #GivingTuesday Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Friends of Ottawa NWR joined the movement three years ago. The 501(c)3 nonprofit is celebrating its 20th year supporting Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. This year, FONWR’s goal is to raise $25,000 during their #GivingTuesday campaign to fund projects that will be an asset to refuge visitors. Projects will include adding an ADAaccessible fishing access point to the pond by the Visitor Center, creating a bank fishing access point at the Helle Unit along the Toussaint Creek, and adding a kayak/canoe access point at the Turtle Creek Unit along the Turtle Creek. Occurring this year on Nov. 28, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

You have to let go of the past to succeed in the future Are you holding onto grudges, resentment, anger, or hate? Are you upset, resentful, or bitter? Each of these emotions is a toxic poison which can cause you significant mental and physical harm. Additionally, each of these emotions significantly diminishes your ability to make sound decisions. You can’t think rationally when you are embroiled in negative emotions. Therefore, your decisions will tend to make your situations worse, not better. Your subsequent actions may even put you in a position where you cannot reverse the damage you caused. Life is not always fair. You will find yourself in adverse situations. You will encounter people who are mean, deceitful, unethical, selfish, or malicious. There will always be negative situations you have to deal with. Regardless of what you are dealing with, you are free to choose your response. An automatic, negative, knee jerk reaction is a conditioned reaction in many people. When in this mode, you internalize these toxic emotions. You can recondition yourself to deal
Golden Advice
by Bryan Golden with these emotions in a positive, nondestructive manner. Your goal is to let go of any self-destructive emotions rather than clutching onto them. Although this is a simple concept, it is difficult to implement for many people. Reacting with these negative emotions, when confronted with adverse situations, is often a deeply engrained habit developed over years. Changing it requires a consistent, determined effort. Don’t make any excuses that you can’t do it. Learning to let things go takes effort, but it’s well worth it. The first step is identifying exactly how you feel and why. Here are some examples. “I’m upset because that jerk just cut me off.” “I resent that I never received a thank you note for the gift I gave the newly
married couple.” “I’m angry at my sister for not calling.” “I resent my boss for not giving me a promotion.” I’m sure you have a long list of your own examples. There’s a very simple reason to just let go of your negative emotions; how you feel will not change people or circumstances. There are even some people who take pleasure in your misery. These people intentionally engage in behavior which you find upsetting. A false premise which causes you to hang onto negative emotions is that someone else made you feel a certain way. Here are some examples of how people justify the way they feel. “Ed really makes me mad.” “I really resent the way Sue treats me.” “Bill makes me so upset.” “I hate that Cindy is friends with Carol.” Once you have identified how you feel and why, it’s time to just let it go. The way you feel won’t change any circumstances or anyone’s behavior. You are only hurting yourself. Regardless of what you are conditioned to, you can just let it go. Other people and circumstances are what they are. All you have control over
is your response. Don’t allow yourself to become embroiled in someone else’s actions. If you are cut off by another driver, let them go without getting angry. When another person is rude or inconsiderate, it’s who they are. You are free to make decisions in your life. You decide who you want to be friends with. You can change jobs. It’s up to you how much time you spend with people who you find annoying. The businesses you patronize are your choice. Whenever you start to hold onto any negative emotions, just let them go. Just as you would if you were holding a hot coal. The sooner you release it, the better. Take positive action if necessary. As you develop the habit of letting negative emotions go, you will feel as if a big weight has been removed. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Forget the Nordic diet, social equality creates longevity By Keith Payne You’ve heard, no doubt, of the miraculous Mediterranean diet, which is said to keep Italians and Greeks living healthy lives into their 80s and beyond. The Japanese diet is popular, too, as the Japanese live the longest lives in the world. Then there’s the Nordic diet, full of fish and dairy, that helps make longevity in Sweden and Norway among the longest in the world. Countless studies have tried to identify the critical ingredients in these diets. Should we eat grilled squid like the Greeks? Or more lingonberries like the Swedes? But the closer you look at the link between specific diets and health, the fuzzier the link becomes. The French live some of the longest lives on earth. The oldest known person was Jeanne Calment, a French woman who lived to 122 (and a half). And yet the French diet has become known as “the French paradox,” because it’s suspiciously high in saturated fat. The diet-focused answer? The red wine must protect them! Other countries, like Germany and Canada, have long lifespans, yet no one puts schnitzel and poutine on our list of health foods. What if the apparent link between a country’s diet and its health is an illusion? One reason that people leap from longevity to diet is a mental quirk known as the “you are what you eat” fallacy. Psychologists have found that people assume that the properties of food are transferred to those who eat it. In some parts of Asia, for example, tiger penises are eaten to increase men’s virility. But it’s not specific to Asia. American college students show a similar superstition. In one study, students learned about the cultural practices of two tribes. One was said to eat wild boars, whereas the other ate turtles. When the students were asked to describe the members of each tribe, they said the boar eaters were bearded and aggressive, and the turtle eaters were good
Guest Editorial swimmers with long lifespans. The leap from healthy lives to healthyseeming foods might just be the same error. Medical evidence suggests that differences in lifespans across countries are better explained by social conditions than diet. Researchers have found that among economically developed countries, income inequality is a major predictor of longevity. In fact, the most equal nations are Japan, Sweden, and Norway, which also have the longest life spans. Not far behind
Letters
are Mediterranean nations including Spain, Greece, and Italy. It’s no coincidence that all these highly equal countries have inspired fad diets. If social equality is really the active ingredient keeping people healthy in these countries, then other mysteries start to make sense. Germany and Canada have low inequality and accordingly, long lives. France is no longer a paradox: Their low inequality explains their longevity. The Bordeaux might have nothing to do with it. At the bottom of the longevity list are high-inequality counties like the United States. Despite being among the wealthiest countries on earth, American life expectancy lags behind those of poorer, but more equal, countries like Ireland and Greece. The biggest health advances of the 20th century — antibiotics, sanitation, vac-

cines — were biological. The biggest public health insights of this century, in contrast, are social. Societies that allow extreme inequality to shred the social fabric pay the price in illness, unhappiness, and mortality. American life expectancy decreased last year for the first time in decades. The best way to reverse that decline isn’t diet plans, but economic policies that reduce inequality. Fresh fish and olive oil are nearly miraculous gifts. But if you want to live longer, my bet is on a living wage and affordable health care.

Bells, bells bells To the editor: On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 19, bells were ringing at First Saint John’s Lutheran Church. Their bell choir, with the choir of nearby St. Mark Lutheran Church, presented a medley of Christian hymns in the church sanctuary. The two choirs presented alternately except for the final number, “Faith of Our Fathers,” which was performed jointly. Attendees were treated to the singular instrument of bells using various techniques – ringing, hitting with mallets, striking mallets cross-wise, hand chimes and a solo. What a joy to witness the merging of musical talents of two East Side churches. If you’ve not had the pleasure of hearing a bell choir, or would like to enjoy a live performance, each choir performs at its home church on a regularly scheduled Sunday each month. Hats off to the coordinators (directors) of this event, Kim Fletcher and Cheri
Sergent. Special thanks to those who participated and prepared the music and refreshments afterwards. Kathy Agoston Oregon

Ohio Scholars in Aging The Ohio Department of Aging and the Ohio Association of Gerontology and Education (OAGE) are preparing to kick off the 2018 session of the Ohio Scholars in Aging program – a partnership between the state’s aging network and colleges and universities. The program cultivates future decision-makers and designers of aging services in Ohio, while ensuring that Ohio communities and businesses design and implement solutions that address the issues, opportunities and impact of an aging population. Ohio Scholars in Aging is for students who are enrolled in an internship or practicum (including clinicals and practicals) that involves older adults or their caregivers. The program links students’ hands-on experience to aging-related policy at the state level. It provides scholars of all academic backgrounds with the opportunity to learn about and contribute to aging-related policy-making, establish career-long professional contacts and gain valuable career knowledge and skills in the field of aging. Applications for the 2018 session will be accepted through Nov. 30. Learn more and access the online application at http:// oage.org/students/ohio-scholars-in-agingprogram-new/.
Not everyone gets the opportunity to save a life. Not everyone would even sign up to do so. But that’s just what Alex Momany, a 2011 Lake graduate did. At 19 years old, while a student at Eastern Michigan University in 2012, Alex signed up with Be The Match, the largest and most diverse marrow registry in the world. It was a fleeting decision when a campus sorority was holding a campaign to get students to sign up to be a donor. It was a simple mouth swab and a small presentation and Alex didn’t think about it again for three years. That momentary decision had a big impact years later. In 2015, Alex received a letter that she was a potential match. As soon as she could, Alex called the number, answered questions and sent bloodwork to St. Charles Hospital. By this time, Alex wanted this to happen and was excited at the possibility of actually taking part in saving someone’s life. Alex received word that not only was she a match for a 6-year-old who had leukemia, but out of the eight markers, one could have to be a perfect match, she indeed had all eight. On Dec. 21, 2015 Alex Momany saved a life. The bone marrow aspiration was a success and today AJ is a healthy, happy 8-year-old who is full of life. On Sept. 20, 2017 Alex was able to meet AJ and his family for the first time on “Good Morning America,” a meeting that would be just the beginning of a lifelong friendship. To top it off, on Sept. 23, just three days after the “Good Morning America” filming, Alex married Colten Palmer - with a couple special guests there to celebrateAJ and his mom Alexa.

Kaleb Kuhlmann and Gary Goodman discussed farming equipment, showing the elementary students a combine and demonstrating how the head of the combine picks up the soybeans. Amanda Meng, Destiny Ulch and Seth Moore talked to the students about animals. Moore did an ultrasound of a pregnant lamb and Meng brought her horse along for the younger students to pet. Discussing nature, Mason Hogan and Austin Marly shared information about walnuts, pine cones, pine trees and walnut trees and bird nests.

In a celebration at Hamilton Township High School in October, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Paolo DeMaria announced Oak Harbor Middle School among the first eight Ohio schools to receive the Purple Star Award for commitment to serving military-connected students and families. “A supportive school environment can have a significant impact on our military-connected students,” said Superintendent DeMaria. “These Purple Star schools provide our children and families with the resources they need to be successful. We’re thankful for their service and honored to continue the important work of improving services for Ohio’s military families.” The Purple Star Award for military friendly schools recognizes schools that show a major commitment to serving students and families connected to our nation’s armed forces. Purple Star awardees receive a special Purple Star recognition to display in their buildings. The Purple Star Advisory Board, formed by the Ohio departments of Education, Higher Education, Veterans Services and Adjutant General, helps decide eligibility. A Purple Star school will receive the designation for two years. After two years, the school must reapply. The Purple Star emblem was selected because purple symbolizes support for military families. Oak Harbor Middle School Assistant Principal Leigh Carroll spearheaded the effort to earn the Purple Star Award for the school. “We are extremely proud of this award, and will continue to strive to provide support and education to all our military families,” Carroll said. There are 34,000 children in Ohio with one or more parents serving in the military. This includes the children of active duty, reserve and Ohio National Guard members. Some of these children will attend six to nine different schools throughout their K-12 educational experiences. In addition to changing schools often, a student also can be affected by a parent’s deployment. Schools can help students and families face these issues by connecting them with the resources they need.

Terra State, WSOS builds skilled workforce A new partnership between Terra State Community College and WSOS that was made possible by a U.S. Department of Labor grant is off to a great start, college officials say. The first cohort recently completed their coursework and had 100 percent job placement – great news for the students and for employers who are in need of skilled workers. According to Kerrie Carte, WSOS Planning and Development Coordinator, three years ago, WSOS in Fremont received a $6.1 million Ready To Work grant through the U.S. Department of Labor. “The grant is to train individuals in advanced manufacturing, information technology, environmental and healthcare careers.” Carte sits on the Sandusky County Economic Development Practitioner Committee, along with representatives throughout Sandusky County. A common theme among the members was businesses are having trouble filling positions because of the lack of skilled workers, specifically maintenance positions. “At one meeting, I got with a representative from Terra State and said we need to get together. Fortunately, Terra State had already begun creating a curriculum for mechatronics,” Carte says. From the discussions between WSOS and Terra State, a certification curriculum was created in Mechatronics Integrated Trades. WSOS recruits the students who will earn a Terra State certificate in less than 10 months. “The students will have two eight-week sessions of coursework,”
“
They take mechanical, electrical and robotics courses...
“
State honors Oak Harbor M.S. as a “Purple Star School”
says Nick Jarrett, Terra State Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Coordinator. “They take mechanical, electrical and robotics courses. After completing those 16 weeks, WSOS sets up internships with local businesses that last eight weeks.” Once the internship is over, the students head back to the classroom for an additional eight weeks, then finish the coursework with eight weeks of on-thejob training. ArtiFlex of Clyde, Amcor Rigid Plastics of Bellevue, Crown Battery of Clyde, Style Crest of Fremont, Evergreen Plastics of Clyde and ABC INOAC Exterior Systems of Fremont all provide the internships or on-the-job training.
Upon graduation from the curriculum, the students were certified in OSHA-10 and the nationally recognized Fanuc certification. All students entered the workforce immediately with starting wages averaging almost $19 per hour. “The students find doing this amount of curriculum a challenge,” Jarrett says. “Those who commit and see it through are very proud and excited about the opportunity to make a real living wage for their family.” Employers who are involved are equally enthusiastic about the program. Scott Messina, human resources director for Crown Battery says, “The process has been smooth for us. We have two Terra State graduates on staff and have already let WSOS know that we would utilize the program in the future again, if the need arises.” There are currently two cohorts in the Mechatronics Integrated Trades program through the Ready To Work initiative. In addition to the Mechatronics program, WSOS has students participating in the Welding, HVACR, Medical Office Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, ITT Computers and Nursing programs at Terra State. “WSOS is ready to assist qualified persons with the Ready To Work program,” Carte says. “We will help with any barriers that a person may face, including gas for your vehicle to get to class, required work attire and tools they may need.” For more info on the Ready To Work initiative, contact Angela Long at WSOS at 419-333-4012 or aclong@wsos.org or the Terra State Admissions Office at 419-552349 or admissions@terra.edu.
Leaders to take action to prevent gun violence By Fernando Stein, MD, FAAP, President, American Academy Pediatrics
of
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers our deepest condolences to the victims and families who lost loved ones in the recent mass shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, and to the entire community as they grieve. These families and this community will need ongoing support, and our hearts go out to them during this time of tremendous and senseless loss. Childhood activities like attending church, school, or a concert, playing at home or playing in a park, should be routine parts of growing up, not the latest examples of where children were gunned down. Two of the five deadliest mass shootings in modern American history happened in the last 35 days. Every day on
average, 93 people die from gun-related injuries in this country, including mass shootings, homicides, suicides and unintentional firearm injuries. Gun violence has taken root as an intractable, deadly epidemic in our nation. These are our children, grandchildren, neighbors, and friends. As pediatricians, these are the patients whose gunshot injuries we treat in emergency departments, and whose lingering stress, sadness and anxiety we help manage. These are families forever grieving, communities forever branded by one violent event, children forever the age they were when their lives were taken far too soon. It doesn’t have to be this way. We cannot simply keep expressing outrage, grief and frustration and letting the latest body count fade into yesterday’s news. We are not helpless. Like any
epidemic, gun violence can be prevented. We know what works, we just need elected leaders to take action – immediately – to move forward with meaningful solutions to stop gun violence in its tracks. Expanding background checks, banning assault weapons, and bolstering mental health resources are just a few evidence-based, common sense measures that we must act on now. What should strike us about the tragedy in Sutherland Springs is that this could be any town in America. Gun violence is in everyone’s hometown. This affects all of us, and it will take all of us acting together to make our country safer. We need leaders at every level of government to stand up and commit to protecting our communities, our families, and our children. It is not too soon to discuss meaningful, comprehensive public policies that will keep children safe from guns. For too many, it’s already too late.

12 first team choices are Flyers, Wildcats, Rockets By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Northern Buckeye Conference champions Lake and Woodmore combined to put eight players on the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Boys Soccer Team. The two teams shared the NBC title with 9-1 records with the Flyers ending the season 14-4 and the Wildcats closing at 145. Each team had four first team choices, as did Oak Harbor. All-Press co-Player of the Year honors are going to Lake senior forward Mikey Szymanski, Genoa senior defender Jack Ford and Oak Harbor junior midfielder Tristan Lacer. Szymanski, a second team Division III All-Ohioan, and his teammates helped Coach Chad Lillich reach the 100-win mark, and Lillich closed the season with 106 wins for his career. Szymanski scored six goals in one game this year and finished the season with 29. He has 65 career goals. “He has a quick shot release and is always in the right position to score,” Lillich said. Ford, the NBC POY, got the nod for his hard play, which was demonstrated on the defensive end and doesn’t always lend to big numbers on the stat board. “Jack has had an impressive three years that I have been coaching him,” Genoa coach Tim Memmer said. “Jack is everything that you want in a player as a coach: competitive, hard working, and willing to do what is best for the team. “Jack also has the necessary combination of having talent and being self driven that is required to be successful. Then add to that, the class that he plays with earned him the respect to win NBC Player of the

at Clay this year, and the Northwest District voted Clay the region’s Team Sportsmanship Award. As a result, The Press awards Clay coach Justin Guy as Coach of the Year. “I believe we received the award because we strive to not only represent ourselves and our school in the right manner but we look to play the game as it should be played,” Guy said. “We play hard, clean soccer and respect our opponents no matter who they are or what is going on in the game.” The team finished sixth in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference with a 2-3-2 record, but closed the season over .500 with a 9-6-2 mark. The Eagles have one first team All-Press selection and five second team. “Our team had great chemistry as well, all players through the organization seemed to gel together pretty well, both on and off the field,” Guy said. “It’s great to see the boys getting recognized for this award, while coaches may get wrapped up in trying to compete and win, it is easily forgotten why we are out here in the first place and they do a great job of keeping that fresh on a daily basis.”
Damron’s late-game heroics led Rockets in tourney By J. Patrick Eaken and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com Midway through the soccer season, Oak Harbor coach Ken Filar began to realize his team was not going to win a Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division championship. Filar shouldn’t be surprised — the SBC had strong programs in co-champions Edison and Huron. However, Filar’s Oak Harbor team made up for it by reaching the Division III regional final. That was in part thanks to the hard work of four-year letter winner Nick Damron, who faced a lot of adversity to help his team get there. Damron closed his career with three SBC championships, four sectional championships, two district championships, and although there was no SBC title his senior year, his first regional final appearance. Damron, this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Player of the Year, led the Rockets with 19 goals and 10 assists, despite missing multiple games due to injury. His career totals are 57 goals and 28 assists. Despite the numbers, it was the way he performed when it counted most that mattered. “Nick had several late game heroics for
Nick Damron. (Lifetouch photo) Oak Harbor this year – including a game-tying goal versus Genoa with 51 seconds left – followed by an assist for the game winner with only seconds remaining,” Filar said. “Nick scored a late goal to earn a draw against SBC champion Huron. Nick also had a second half game-winner versus Port Clinton in which he sat out the first half,” Filar continued. “The most exciting highlight of the season, however, was in the sectional final against Liberty-Benton. Nick outran two
defenders for 35 yards on a through ball to beat the on-rushing goalkeeper to win in overtime.” The 2-1 win over Liberty-Benton gave Oak Harbor their fifth-straight sectional title. Goalkeeper Andy Buderer made eight saves to preserve the victory. Lastly, Damron scored the game-winner in the district semifinals against top-seeded Van Buren for a 1-0 victory. Damron’s goal against Van Buren (152-1) was set up by ball movement from Aidan Barton and Tyler Lovett. Buderer and defenders Jeremy McClanahan, Kolton Hall, Jon Robinson, Danny McMullen, Blake Hanthorn and Brock Hanney made sure that score held up. “I pretty much had a lot of confidence in our defense,” Damron said. “We were playing really well that game. We were more aggressive and we got the ball out of the defensive area a lot. We didn’t really change up our strategy. We just went out and played our game.” Injury-depleted roster Filar said that because of the team’s youth and key injuries, there was very little margin for error throughout the season. The Rockets’ myriad of injures only made it more difficult, but the players, Filar said, always kept the faith. He said Oak Harbor suited up just 15 healthy players for Van
Buren. “You work with the kids you have and go for it,” Filar said. “We just try to encourage them to seize the opportunity in front of them. This has seriously been a great story of achievement for our kids. I’m really proud of this group, and they’ve continued to grow and overcome adversity along the way.” Filar says Damron’s injuries likely robbed him of even higher accolades than the all-district honors he got. Damron lost the tie-breaking vote for the SBC Bay Division Player of the Year to Nick Lombardi (Edison). “Nick was clutch all season,” Filar said. “It was a difficult season due to a lingering injury that kept him out of multiple games. In some other games we only played him for half the contest to help him recover and hopefully make it to the tournament. Several of the games he sat out were against lesser opponents when he could have really built up his statistics. In the long run, it probably cost him from getting first team all-state because of the way the voting works.” Yet, Filar says, it was all about team for Damron, and he never complained when he needed to rest. “In four years, however, I don’t recall Nick ever once making any comment or

Damron Continued from page 16 being worried about his statistics. He’s an unselfish player who will certainly be playing for a college team next season if he aspires to that,” Filar said. “We’ve had some very good players come through Oak Harbor in the last 10 years, and Nick is as well-rounded and talented of a player as we’ve had. His combination of speed, foot skills, unselfishness, determination, and ability to score with either foot has been essential towards the team’s success.” Filar says he has never had anyone with the kind of power and accuracy Damron has on free kicks. “We have not had a player in our program who has the accuracy of placing free kicks like Nick. In two of the games, he served a bent free kick into the upper 90 to beat the goalkeeper from approximately 25 yards out. We will miss him tremendously next season.” Buderer, a first team All-Press goalkeeper, says a winning culture was always present. The Rockets finished 14-4-2 overall and 6-2-2 in the SBC. “There were a lot of things stacked against us this year,” Buderer said. “Every game we won, it was a great feeling. We only lost four games. When we lost our first game, we were all sad and I said, ‘that’s how we should feel.’ We have a culture of excellence on our team. Whenever we lost, it made us come back stronger and harder and more determined to win.” Buderer, who had seven shutouts this season, said he could feel the pressure mount as the Rockets advanced deeper into the postseason. “I go into every game with the same attitude,” he said. “I give it 110 percent and if anything happens, keep your head up and keep playing strong. Every game we play, we play like it’s our last game. Whatever happens, happens. My senior year’s gone pretty well. I’m very proud of how we’ve done.”

Future looks bright for Rocket runners By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com In a season that didn’t quite finish how Oak Harbor would’ve liked, there is certainly a silver lining that can be drawn from the trials and tribulations of a season. For instance, the Rockets, who won two invitationals, will return nearly all of their top runners from this year’s squad. And, Oak Harbor took home the trophy at the Norm Bray Invitational in Fremont, finishing first out of seven teams, and also claimed victory at the Myron Cline Lakota Invite. Both times, just like it was for most of the season, Hope Sievert led the way with Anna Zeitzheim close behind and Auna Tack, Gabby Sharkey, Emily Willis and Jessica Murphy also in the mix with Kiara Brough contributing, too. The Rockets also finished third at the Van Buren Invite and fifth at the Clay Eagle Invite, a sign they could compete with some of the area’s top teams. And the team might’ve advanced to regionals had Sievert not sustained a stress fracture and missed the district race. “We started out strong. We brought home three invitational trophies, winning Norm Bray, Lakota, and the Ottawa County Meet. We are very proud of these accomplishments,” said Oak Harbor coach Gina Warnke. “We battled injuries towards the end. Auna Tack missed two meets (injury), but was able to return for league and districts. A couple missed meets meant lost opportunities towards additional trophies. “Unfortunately, we didn’t have Hope for districts and we would of liked to have ended the season on a more positive note. Hope being a past state qualifier and only adding six points at the most at any meet was an impact. She was runner-up at two meets, (and) those are low points. You take her out and replace it with someone running 2-5 min slower for a 5K you pick up a lot of points. Low scores win meets.” A reason to be optimistic about the future is that Tack and Brough are just freshmen, Willis and Sievert are sophomores and Zeitzheim is a junior. (Gabby Sharkey

We have the middle school girls coming off a SBC championship title, and they will feed into our program. Getting into the weight room in the winter will be essential to injury prevention.

league and district titles, eight-mile days were part of the equation.” But with just six runners, Warnke had to be cautious with how hard she worked the girls, knowing that if two of them got hurt at the same time, the runners would’ve only been able to compete as individuals and not as a team. Warnke, who is in her 17th season coaching the team, notes that the group has added workouts in the pool in effort to strengthen leg muscles. It’s all part of a diversified training regimen that continues to involve for athletes.

Eastwood headed to the Final Four for first time By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com For a program rich in tradition and accomplishments, one of the few things missing was an appearance in the Final Four. After steamrolling through its first three playoff games, Eastwood can check that achievement off the list. The Eagles defeated Swanton (48-0), Otsego (41-14) and Marion Pleasant (35-0) to advance to the Division V state semifinals for the first time in history. Eastwood did this after running the table in the regular season and only being seriously challenged once because of the combination of the Wing-T rushing attack and a defense that allowed more than 14 points just twice on the season was more than enough to bring the Eagles to a perfect 13-0 record. It’s a team that has its share of star power but also features 18 seniors and impressive depth plus a wealth of experience and an ideal understanding of the game. The win over the Spartans saw Eastwood, ranked No. 1 in Div. V, allow just 93 yards of total offense. And the Eagles, after being held scoreless in the first quarter, put up three touchdowns in a six-minute span to open the second. They’re great athletes but as they’ve become leaders, it’s been great to see them bring guys along,” Eastwood coach Craig Rutherford said of this group of seniors. “Their legacy is going to carry on for a long time.” Advancing to the Final Four was not just about this team, it was about those who have come before this group and helped build the program up to what it is today. Since 2001, the Eagles have gone 144-44 (.766), qualified for the playoffs 11 times, won 10 postseason games and finished first or second in the Northern Buckeye Conference or the old Suburban Lakes League in every year but one, making them one of the Northwest Ohio’s most consistent programs. “It’s really exciting for our school and community,” said Rutherford, who took over coaching the team from his father, Jerry, who was at the head of the program for 35 years. “There were so many guys who paved the way for the program. We’re trying to make those guys proud.” Rightfully so, the running backs like Jaden Rayford (281 rushes, 1,900 yards, 32 TD), Ian Downard (90 rushes, 706 yards, 10 TD), Justin Pickerel (61 rushes, 466 yards, 8 TD), Ceyleon Damon (59 carries, 400 yards, 7 TD) and Cooper Comes (62 rushes, 357 yards, 6 TD) and quarterback Jake Pickerel (22-of-48, 469 yards, 8 TD) have received their share of accolades this season -- they’ve rushed for 4,225 yards and 65 touchdowns -- but the unsung heroes have been the defense. Led by the district’s Defensive Player of the Year in Tyler Schmeltz and the district’s Lineman of the Year in Antonio Salinas, the Eastwood defense has wreaked havoc all year long, pitching four shutouts while allowing just 8.4 points per game. The unit saw four players -- Salinas (DE), Schmeltz (LB), Zach Henline (DE) and Seth Welch (DT) -- earn district honors while Salinas, Schmeltz, Henline, Welch, Dalton Andrews (DT), Cory Coffman (LB), Tyler Haas (CB) and Alex Ross (FS) earned league honors in the NBC. In fact, Welch was named the conference’s Lineman of the Year. It’s a unit that also includes LB Justin Pickerel, who is filling in for Downard, LB Josh McCauley and CB Gavin Slattman. “We have a lot of enthusiasm, we have a mentality that every man gets to the ball, (and) we believe the hits add up. It’s a tremendous feeling (getting to this point) -the amount of work we’ve put in and the coaches put in, it adds up,” said Schmeltz. “We’ve been playing together since elementary school during recess. We’ve all stuck together and done something special.” It’s a unit that has earned the respect of its coaching staff. “We think it’s 11 guys who love to play

It wasn’t just the defense that received its share of accolades, though. On offense, Rayford earned first-team honors in the district while Addison Clark (OL) and

Inspirational Message of the Week: Being a Prophet Aprophet is someone who hears the voice of God and tells others what God is saying, with words and deeds. The prophet is frequently a social critic, because society frequently goes against what God would have us do. The prophet often gives very simple and straightforward directives, like this statement from the prophet Micah: “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8 NIV) The prophet sometimes gives more specific directives, such as warning us about our treatment of the poor or the widows and orphans in our midst: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and

faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” ( James 1:27 NIV) We are all called to be prophets, in our words and in our deeds. One of the hallmarks of the Biblical prophets was that their words were invariably in harmony with their deeds, and their deeds were often symbolic prophesies. We may not be a major prophet, like Isaiah or Jeremiah, or even a minor one like Amos or Micah, but we can still preach the good news to all we meet, without saying a word. “Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.” —James 2:18 NIV
