Water, sewer rates to increase next year

“

Cities that don’t stay ahead of that end up with catastrophic problems and we don’t want that to be Oregon.

“

Oregon City Council on Monday voted unanimously to increase the water rates for the water treatment plant and water distribution system, and sewer rates for the wastewater treatment plant and sanitary sewer system. The new rates will be spread out over a three year period, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. The water rate will increase by 15 percent next year, 10 percent in 2020, and 10 percent in 2021. The sewer rate will increase by 10 percent next year, 5 percent in 2020, and 5 percent in 2021, according to Roman. “At the end of three years – in 2021 – the minimum bill will go up by about $18 per quarter,” he said. “The average is dou-

ble that - $36 per quarter at the end of three years.” Forty percent of residents meet the minimum rate requirement. City Administrator Mike Beazley said at a committee of the whole meeting last

month that there were several reasons why the rates were being hiked, including: •Increased algae and microcystin in the lake; •Increased regulations dealing with corrosion prevention throughout the system; •Increased mandates from the EPA to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant; •Addressing the aging water pipe infrastructure system. “Cities that don’t stay ahead of that end up with catastrophic problems and we don’t want that to be Oregon,” said Beazley.”Most of the water lines will have 80-100 years of life. We have some that are getting that old now. On top of that, a lot of the ductile iron that was produced in the 50s and 60s has a short shelf life. Some of the neighborhoods and parks in the com-

Audit flags overpayments By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A miscalculation by a former Carroll Township fiscal officer of the township’s annual budget resulted in overpayments in 2016 to the fiscal officer, two former trustees and a current trustee, according to a state audit report released last week. The four officials were overpaid a combined $3,571, the report says. Former trustees Rodney Biggert and Kenneth Gyde were each overpaid $913 and James Meek, a current trustee who took office in January 2016, was overpaid $959. Jessica Brough, the former fiscal officer, was overpaid $786. The township and Meek last month agreed to a repayment plan calling for him to pay $100 monthly starting in January 2019 until the amount is fully paid, the report says. State law lists the authorized pay rates for trustees and fiscal officers based on their township’s annual projected budget, which covers total revenues available for spending. “Former fiscal officer Jessica Brough based the township trustees’ compensation for the period of January 1, 2016 through March 2016 on an estimated budget in the $6 million to $10 million range,” the report says. “The calculation of township trustees’ compensation using the $6 million to $10 million range doesn’t appear reasonable given actual 2016 unencumbered balances plus actual receipts…” Moreover, Brough didn’t certify the total amount from all sources available for expenditures with the Ottawa County budget commission as required by state law. When Tina Gyde took office as fiscal officer in April 2016, she filed an amended certificate of estimated resources that put the township’s budget in the $3.5 million to $6 million range. Because Brough authorized the direct deposits that resulted in the overpayments to the trustees, she and her bonding company are liable for $2,785 to the extent not recovered from the three as well as her overpayment.

munity that are served by that ductile iron are having far too many water line breaks. We’re going to have to get our grip on that.” Lowest rates Many communities increase rates every year, said Beazley. “You could argue that it’s a responsible approach. We don’t like to do increases. We’ve gone a good long time without across the board increases in more than 10 years,” he said. “We do have the lowest water and sewer rates combined in the region, perhaps the lowest in Ohio,” he continued. “Even after these rate increases are done, we’ll still have the lowest rates. That doesn’t mean we have the lowest costs for service. Oregon, in some ways, is relatively more expensive to serve. We’re 28 square miles and we have fewer customers per mile of pipe for both water and sewer. It costs us more to serve that population spread over a broad area. But our independent water

Two parcels in Lake Township are among those to be auctioned Dec. 5 in a forfeited land sale by the Wood County auditor’s office. The sale will begin at 10 a.m. in the hearing room on the fifth floor of the county office building in Bowling Green. Each property has been forfeited to the state after failing to sell at a sheriff’s sale. “It is my intent to sell all of the available properties so that they can return to productive use on Wood County’s tax rolls,” Matthew Oestreich, auditor, said. In all, 11 parcels and 13 manufactured homes are listed for sale. However, if the delinquent tax charges are paid prior to the sale they will be removed from the list. The Lake Township parcels are located at 29577 E. Broadway St. and on Latcha Road. Other properties are located in Henry Township, North Baltimore, Bradner, Perry Township, Perrysburg Township and Weston. A list of the properties is available online at: www.wood.co.oh.us/auditor/ or can be picked up at the auditor’s office. Registration for the sale will begin at 9 a.m. in the hearing room. Successful bidders will receive an auditor’s deed for each property for the purchase price plus $5.50 deed and transfer fee. There will be no delinquent real estate tax liability for the purchased properties but the sales won’t extinguish any federal tax liens that may have been imposed.

system…provides us with flexibility. All in all, it’s been an excellent value and really managed by our public service team in an excellent way.” High standards Mayor Mike Seferian noted the high standards of its water treatment plant. “We not only have kept up with the latest and greatest processes to produce wa-

ter, we’re ahead of the curve, and we like to stay there. We like to keep all of our infrastructure in good shape. So we will see [rate increases] from time to time. We can produce great water, great product, and get it to the people’s houses in a safe and reasonable manner,” he said. “Our rate payers are fairly fortunate,” said Councilman James Seaman. “Our bills are not that high for water and sewer compared to other communities. In many other communities, their bills are so high, they get billed every month. We bill every quarter because it’s a reasonable amount of money.” Notices of the rate increases will be mailed to customers in the first bill in 2019, said Roman. “We want to give a nice, simple explanation,” he said. The last time water rates went up was in 2006, and in 2009 for sewer rates, according to Roman. The operating expenses of the water treatment plant and wastewater treatment plant have doubled since that time, he said.

Northwood reviewing property maintenance By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

it, have the Planning Commission look at it. It’s going to take a while for everyone to look at the whole thing.”

Northwood is seeking to establish a property maintenance code to address properties that have been abandoned and neglected. The proposed ordinance has been tabled since September. “We have been looking for ways to address run down residential and commercial properties,” City Administrator Bob Anderson told The Press last week. “We have commercial buildings that have been sitting vacant and neglected for a while. We have residential buildings that have been vacant and neglected, and are becoming nuisances.” Anderson had recommended that the proposed ordinance be tabled after its first reading in September, and asked that it be sent to the Planning Commission for its review and recommendation to city council. The city wants to adopt the Inter- national Property Maintenance Code of 2018, which is over 50 pages long. “This is a huge document,” Mayor Ed Schimmel said at the September 28 meeting. “Other communities that have adopted a maintenance code have taken this template. Some have adopted the whole thing, some have picked and chose what areas they wanted. It covers a lot of stuff. We just want council to look it over, consider

Prior attempts The city has tried to address the problem in the past, with little success, said Anderson. “We have a vacant building code where we charged commercial property owners for having vacant buildings for a certain period of time. We collected a fee for that. The point was to get them to sell the buildings.” Under the vacant property code, the property owner of a vacant commercial property is not charged for the first year that the property is listed with an authorized real estate agent,” said Anderson. “The owner has to fill out a piece of paper saying it’s listed for sale and they’re trying to sell it,” said Anderson. ”After the second year, there is a fee if it isn’t sold. The next year the fee doubles. The purpose of that is to get them to actively sell their buildings. With this code, we have not gone after residential properties.” The proposed property maintenance code covers residential, commercial and industrial properties, he said. “It covers all buildings in Northwood,” he said. The proposed property maintenance code would allow the city to address buildings that are becoming run down – dilapi-

dated buildings with roofing, siding, and windows in poor condition. “The current zoning code doesn’t have enough teeth to address some of these problems. It allows us to do more than just charge fees. If we adopt it, it allows us to go in and clean up the property, or whatever needs to be done to the property. We charge it back to the property owner on their property taxes. We don’t want to end up owning someone’s property,” he said. Trained professionals The city still has to set up qualified professionals to do the repairs, he said. “We have to find people who know what they’re doing. We have to have someone with experience in mechanical, HVAC, and carpentry. So we’re still a ways from doing this. This is on the table, but there’s a lot of questions about its structure and how we would implement it,” he said. “The Planning Commission has not yet addressed it,” he continued. “This is much more complicated than just saying, `OK, here’s the code and you have to follow it.’ If you’re going to have it, you have to have the ability to enforce it. And if you have the ability to enforce it, you need someone who is trained and knows what to look for. And those are questions we have not answered yet. It’s doable. A lot of cities have this. But we want to do this properly and make sure we have a code we can enforce.”

‘Back from the dead’ Cardinal Stritch graduate Mike Jameson, who graduated in the early 1980s and was a star on the basketball team, will be the first to tell you he has ‘returned from the dead.’ The 6-foot-5 Jameson led the Cardinals, then in the Toledo City League, to wins over then state-ranked Libbey and he had offers to play at Owens Community College. He, of course, is also a television and radio producer — owner of Toledo Sports Network and Creative Video Imagery and hosts Great Lakes Golf Today on 106.5 ESPN The Ticket every Saturday morning. At Stritch’s alumni basketball game last year, he nearly “died” on the basketball court — he was the oldest player participating. After he suffered a heart attack, he was revived by EMS personnel using a defibrillator, but it was a scary moment. He now has a pacemaker and has gotten control of his weight and health. At this year's alumni game (above), Stritch athletic personnel brought Jameson out to the court and let him shoot the winning basket — in street clothes, and the woman who saved his life brought him flowers.

Ukraine Parliament members visit Toledo The Open World Leadership Center, has sent a delegation of members of the Ukrainian Parliament to Toledo, from Nov. 30-Dec. 4. The delegation consists of three members of Parliament: Yurii Solovei, (Petro Poroshenko Bloc), Ostap Yednak (“Sila Liudei” Party– Power of the People), and Oleksandr Opanasenko (Samopomich Party – Self Reliance). The group is accompanied by Oksana Shabas a bicultural facilitator, and Sergei Vladov a bilingual interpreter. While in Toledo, the Open World delegates will be hosted by Great Lakes Consortium for International Training and Development (a program of Great Lakes Community Assistance Partnership – formerly known as WSOS Community Action), in collaboration with World Affairs Council of Northwest Ohio. Prior to their arrival in Toledo, delegates attended an orientation in Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill, where they attended policy meetings with several members of Congress. In Northwest Ohio, delegates will collaborate on best practices for accountable governance and constituent engagement with leaders on all levels of government. They will meet with Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur and District Congressman Bob Latta. They will also meet with Ohio Rep. Michael Sheehy, Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz, Toledo City Councilman Peter Ujvagi, Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez, Wood County Common Pleas Court Judge Matthew Reger, Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn, and other local leaders.

Newsboys collecting Old Newsboys Goodfellows Association volunteers will be collecting throughout the area on Friday, Dec. 7. The association raises funds to help provide shoes, coats, clothing and food for families throughout the greater Toledo area. This year, the Old Newsboys have spent more than $107,439 to purchase 1,279 pairs of shoes, 1,430 coats and other clothing items to help needy children from more than 250 area schools. In addition, the association has supported Toledo Public Schools elementary schools with $20,000 for emergency food vouchers and $20,000 for school supplies. The organization has also funded 11 $5,000 scholarships for area high school seniors. Locally, watch for volunteers in Oregon at the intersection of Navarre and Wheeling, the intersection of Navarre and Coy and at the Circle K.

Proponents testify on cemetery lot bill By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Proponents of a bill that would amend state law covering how townships can reclaim unused cemetery lots testified last week before the Senate Local Government, Public Safety and Veterans Affairs Committee. Matthew DeTemple, executive director of the Ohio Township Association, told the committee Tuesday House Bill 454 would clarify language in the current law. He said the state’s biennium budget for Fiscal 2016-17 included language that granted townships the right of re-entry for burial lots which had a deed of sale prior to July 24, 1986. It required township trustees to notify the last known lot owner by mail or by advertisement in a newspaper. If the owner doesn’t respond within 90 days, the township can reclaim its interest in the lot. Unfortunately, the language in the budget bill “did not permit the township to repurchase an unused lot from an owner that does respond within 90 days,” DeTemple said, adding the Ohio Revised Code already contained authorizing language permitting a township to buy back unused lots purchased after July 24, 1986. Under HB 454, a township wanting to re-enter a lot sold before that date would be authorized to purchase the lot at 80 percent of the owner’s original purchase price, which mirrors the language in the Revised Code. Also, the bill increases the required

time for townships to reclaim unused lots purchased prior to July 24, 1986 to 180 days from 90 days. It also requires townships to post any notification of re-entry on the township’s website, if there is one, in addition to the mail and newspaper advertisement requirements. The committee also took testimony earlier last month from Rep. Steve Arndt, R – Port Clinton, and Rep. John Patterson, D – Jefferson, co-sponsors of the bill. Patterson said the issue came to his attention after a constituent attempted to buy an unused lot from a cemetery in his district. Although the cemetery could verify the lot was purchased in the early 1900s, no family member could be reached to determine if the lot would ever be used. “In essence, the lot had been vacated,” Patterson said. “While the township would like to sell the unused lot, because it was 6210 to make a reservation.

purchased prior to July 24, 1986, current law prohibits such a sale.” An analysis by the Legislative Service Commission notes that a 2009 opinion by the Ohio Attorney General’s office determined that a township could not reclaim its interest in sold but unused cemetery lots by arguing the burial easement was extinguished by non-use. Whether HB 454 would make it through a court challenge remains to be seen, according to the analysis. “Although the bill provides compensation to a pre-1986 lot owner who responds before the notice period ends, a court may find that applying the law to an owner who responds after the notice period ends constitutes an unlawful taking without compensation,” the analysis says. “This issue exists under current law and is not resolved by the bill. The option the bill provides to an owner to receive 80 percent of the original purchase price may not constitute due or adequate compensation in some cases. “For example, a lot purchased for $100 in 1920 may be worth $1,200 in 2018; $80 is significantly less than today’s fair market value and probably would not be considered due compensation. This is not an issue under continuing law for post-1986 lots because lot owners agree to be subject to the 80 percent term. In other words, the township is utilizing its contractual right to reclaim its interest in the lot and compensate the owner 80 percent of the purchase price as authorized by the statute.”

Last Week's Results Now that the mid-terms are over, do you expect the country to be less divided? 84% No, Congress is split. 16% Yes, each side will have to compromise to get things done.

Create more income instead of getting by with less Cutting back on how much money is spent is a typical strategy for dealing with challenging financial circumstances. Reducing spending to accommodate your current income, is more common than earning more to accommodate your dreams. Although it is appropriate to take steps to ensure you are not outspending your financial resources, it’s not the only strategy. There’s no reason you can’t also simultaneously endeavor to boost your income. Getting by with less is a short-term strategy, not a way of life. Taking steps to generate more income is a long-term strategy. A poverty mentality is when a person believes they will never have as much money as they would like. A poverty mentality inhibits creating more. There are various justifications given for this outlook. “I’m not smart enough,” “I don’t know how,” “I’m just not lucky,” “It takes money to make money,” “Nothing ever works for me,” “I don’t know the right people,” and “I’m too old to start now,” are just some of the frequently used excuses. People who don’t believe they can

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden achieve more won’t achieve more. They have programmed their minds to limit their accomplishments. They have a poverty mindset. A person in this mode must change their outlook before they can change their results. One of the best ways of increasing your income is by increasing your service to others. You can get everything you want in your life by helping enough other people get what they want in theirs. In your quest to create more, you must be honest and ethical. Treating others with courtesy and respect is imperative. Taking any ethical shortcuts is a dead-end road which leads off of a cliff. Embarking on a negative path may provide the illusion of faster gains, but ultimately ends in disaster.

A desire to achieve more is a great start, which must be accompanied by a specific plan on how to do so. Your detailed plan should consist of workable steps which can be readily implemented. The question to ask yourself is, “How can I be of more value to others?” Your knowledge, skills, and abilities are aspects of yourself, which can always be improved. This translates into how much you know, what can you do, and how well can you do it. Regardless of where you are now, you can immediately take steps to enhance your knowledge, skills, and abilities. How much you earn is connected to how difficult it is to replace you. This is why entry level jobs usually have the lowest salaries. As you develop yourself to be able to do things most others can’t, your income will rise accordingly. Attitude is just as important as your knowledge, skills, and abilities. Being a person with a can-do attitude, combined with a determination to solve problems, makes you a valuable asset. These characteristics distinguish you from the others in

the workplace. Having a personal standard of excellence is an invaluable asset that boosts your ability to create more. A standard of excellence involves doing more than is expected. Demonstrating a standard of excellence is how people get promotions and raises. You create more because you are worth more Constantly looking for additional ways to be of service also enables you to create more. Take initiative. Deliver more than people expect. This is effective for both employees and business owners. Getting by with less is just a short-term survival strategy to use while you are working diligently to create more. There is a limit to how much you can cut back. There is no limit to how much you can create. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden. com or your bookstore.

Latin America is ripping off U.S. manufacturers By Ryan Ong When people think of American manufacturing, they envision huge factories churning out vehicles and planes. But there’s more to manufacturing than heavy equipment. American workers make advanced medications that treat cancer, biodegradable plastics that reduce pollution, and microchips that give the Smartphone more computing power than NASA had when it put a man on the moon. This high-tech side of our manufacturing sector is under attack. Some of America’s trading partners in Latin America are disregarding legal protections for intellectual property -- and allowing firms to steal American innovators’ ideas. Such practices harm our economy and our workers. U.S. trade officials must urge their Latin American counterparts to stop this abuse. High-tech manufacturing supports millions of American jobs. More than 1 million workers help manufacture specialized computer and communications equipment. Nearly 300,000 produce medicines.

Guest Editorial About 400,000 create batteries and electrical device components. These jobs wouldn’t exist without intellectual property protections. If manufacturers were unable to patent their ideas, rivals could steal their proprietary technology and processes with impunity. Few companies would risk the years of effort and billions of dollars needed to create new products. Strong intellectual property protections also benefit consumers. Everyone who has used a 3D printer, worn a smart watch, or installed solar cells can thank intellectual property rights for creating incentives for innovators to bring those products to market. Unfortunately, many Latin American nations are abusing laws, which allow domestic manufacturers to infringe on foreign inven-

tors’ patents to create copycat products. Longstanding international agreements set clear guidelines to ensure that compulsory licenses are only employed in public health emergencies, like an outbreak. If a foreign manufacturer is unable or unwilling to sell the drug in quantities sufficient to bring the outbreak under control, then a government could permit a local drug manufacturer to produce a generic version for a limited period. But that’s not what’s happening. In Brazil, the government has discussed using compulsory licenses to “promote local production” of pharmaceuticals. The Dominican Republic has tried to issue a compulsory license for a blood thinner. Countries may see compulsory licensing as a shortcut to reduce health spending and make up for underinvestment in their healthcare infrastructures. But revoking intellectual property rights diminishes incentives to invest in the development of the cures of tomorrow. This goes beyond pharmaceuticals. Defending intellectual property, no matter the form, is important. The sale of pirated goods costs Colombia $750 million annu-

Support local businesses with your purchases By Jim Hightower “Cyber Monday” came and went — did you get out there and buy stuff? You don’t actually have to “get out there” anywhere, for this gimmicky shopshop-shop day lures us to consume without leaving home, or even getting out of bed. Concocted by Amazon, the online marketing monopolist, Cyber Monday is a knockoff of Black Friday — just another ploy by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to siphon sales from real stores. Seems innocent enough, but behind Amazon’s online convenience and discounted prices is a predatory business model based on exploitation of workers, bullying of suppliers, dodging of taxes, and

use of crude anti-competitive force against America’s Main Street businesses. A clue into Amazon’s ethics came when Bezos instructed his staff to get evercheaper prices from small-business suppliers by stalking them “the way a cheetah would pursue a sickly gazelle.” John Crandall, who owns Old Town Bike Shop in Colorado Springs, is one who’s under attack. He offers fair prices, provides good jobs, pays rent and taxes, and lives in and supports the community. But he’s noticed that more and more shoppers come in to try out bikes and get advice, yet not buy anything. Instead, their smartphones scan the barcode of the bike they want, then they go online to purchase it from Amazon — cheaper than Crandall’s

wholesale price. `You see, the cheetah is a multibilliondollar-a-year beast that can sell that bike at a loss, then make up the loss on sales of the thousands of other products it peddles. This amounts to corporate murder of small business. It’s illegal, but Amazon is doing it every day in practically every community. So, let’s pledge to buy from local businesses that support our communities. For information, go to American Independent Business Alliance: www.amiba.net.

ally. In Paraguay, counterfeiting fuels $17 billion in illegal trade each year. It also hurts our country. Counterfeiting, piracy, and intellectual property theft cost U.S. companies $600 billion annually. There are several steps that Latin American governments can take to better protect intellectual property. Countries could issue clearer guidelines for compulsory licensing that limit the practice to true public health emergencies. Governments could also crack down on companies that condone the counterfeiting of manufactured goods. The health of U.S. manufacturing depends on moves like these that would safeguard intellectual property. Ryan Ong is director for International Business Policy at the National Association of Manufacturers.

Sauder Village begins work on phase two of ‘20s Main Street Sauder Village has begun work on Phase Two of the 1920s Main Street Community, with contractors working on site preparation, building relocation and new construction to continue the replication of a 1920s Main Street typical to Northwest Ohio. “Thanks to funding from the Ohio State Capital Appropriations and other generous supporters, steps to begin construction of Phase 2 of our 1920s Main Street Community are now possible,” shared Debbie Sauder David, President and CEO. “This phase will include moving of the District 16 School and Dr. McGuffin’s Office to their appropriate place along the timeline as well as constructing the foundations and exteriors of the east and west Main Street Buildings. A 1920s gas station and auto dealership is also being built.” While funding has been secured to begin construction, partners are still needed to complete the project. “From a soda fountain, candy shop, theater and grocery store to a fire station, bank, hardware store and more…we are excited about our plans for the continued development of our 1920s Main Street Community,” shared Andy Brodbeck, Director of Development. “When you think about how generous people have been, it is truly humbling, and we are so grateful for all the needed support that continues to come in to help make this project a reality.” The “Walk Through Time” at Sauder Village has been developed over the past 16 years with the help of staff, volunteers, contractors, donors and capital funding. Guests can experience more than 120 years of Great Black Swamp history while traveling from Natives and Newcomers to Pioneer Settlement, The Grime Homestead,

Clay grad Cody Achter proves dreams come true By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Growing up in Oregon, Cody Achter had no idea that he would end up working for one of his musical idols. He likely never would have guessed that one day, he would be able to pick up his idol’s album, and look at his own artwork on the cover. But that’s precisely what happened. A 2009 Clay High School graduate, Achter grew up with his late father Kenny, his mother Merry, and brothers Dustin, a 2002 Clay graduate and Todd, a 2006 Clay graduate. Achter was in the visual communication program in high school. Although he loved music, he decided to pursue a degree in graphic design. “I decided that graphic design probably would allow me to earn a living,” Achter said. “If you are into design, you want to do an album cover. I knew I would one day design a cover, but I did not know who I would do it for.” Achter went to the School of Advertising Art, now The Modern College of Design, in Kettering, Ohio. He graduated in 2011 with an associate of applied business degree. He moved to Texas to be near his mother, although he did not have a job at the time. “I was working at a Kroger at the time,” he said. “I volunteered for the Dallas Society of Visual Communication (DSVC). While doing that, I got a referral to apply at an advertising agency, The Marketing Arm, in Dallas. I was a junior art director there for two years.” Then Achter decided to move to Los Angeles with $500 in his savings account. “I just thought it was time to move to LA,” he said. “I always dreamed about living here. I started to job hunt and found a graphic design job, working from home. After about a year, I saw an ad for a job with a place called ‘I.am.bizzy.’ I had no idea what the company was. Achter said he walked up to the “Star Wars-like” building for his interview. He was told he would be interviewed by William. “They kept saying, ‘William this,’ and “William that,’” Achter said with a laugh. “I really had no idea. Then I was told I would interview with will.i.am.” For the uninitiated, will.i.am, along with apl.de.ap and Taboo, are the founding members of the musical group The Black Eyed Peas. “When I was in high school, they were one of the biggest groups out there,” Achter said. “I was shocked. I am a hip-hop connoisseur. I was familiar with will.i.am’s older and newer work. I was hired that day. I am just amped to be around somebody-

who loves music like me.” Achter said he is in his dream job and he loves working for will.i.am. “He is really cool,” Achter said. “He has been referred to as a ‘Calm Kanye,’ in that he is very busy doing a lot of things. Will.i.am is very generous and I admire his philanthropy and what he does for the

community, and people. He is a super cool human.” Achter has been a graphic designer for team will.i.am, since September 2014. He is responsible for designing album covers, packaging, websites, logos, and apparel for the company. Achter has also helped edit music videos. Achter redesigned the logo for the Peas in 2014. He, along with Eddie Axley and Pow Wang, also helped design the comic book art for the Black Eyed Peas book, ‘The Black Eyed Peas Present: Masters of the Sun – The Zombie Chronicles,” published by Marvel in August 2017. “I knew the group had an album in the works since I started working there in 2014,” he explained. “The art on the cover of the comic book is the same style as the art on the new album. It all ties together.” Achter is now able to see his dream of having his art on an album cover. The Black Eyed Peas released their seventh album, “Masters of the Sun,” on Oct. 26. “This has been a dream of mine forever,” he said. “Now it has come true. I guess it is now time for another dream to work towards.”

Southern hospitality

Ride through Spiegel Grove in a horsedrawn sleigh

Charleston offers history, cuisine and more Dawn on South Carolina’s Charleston Harbor is a magical awakening. History literally glows on the horizon as the first rays of sunlight climb over the ramparts of Fort Sumter, silhouette the flag flying over Castle Pinckney, and light up the sites of forts Moultrie and Johnson. As the sunrays stream into Historic Charleston it lights up Rainbow Row, a bank of over a dozen colorful 1740s structures that’s one of the most famous settings in a city chock full of antebellum gems. At Waterfront Park, the view is big and open over miles of deep water. It’s easy to visualize Charleston as one of America’s greatest seaports. Once Colonial traders tied up at the Customs House to trade their goods for the rice and indigo raised on Charleston’s plantations. Today container ships come and go to the tune of $150 million in goods every day. It’s a peacefully inspiring scene now but it wasn’t always so. Fort Sumter, the famous sea fort protecting the mouth of the harbor, was the first to fall in the opening salvos of the Civil War after a night of pummeling from Confederate gun batteries. Fort Moultrie fared better in a prelude to the Revolutionary War when British gunships tried to pulverize that harborside fort only to find that its palmetto buttresses were immune to their cannonballs. Charleston is booming with new business but it’s the charm of its genteel Southern past that attracts five million or so tourists every year. It’s a bucket list destination on everyone’s top 10 list. The reasons are simple. A seaside location steeped in history, safe streets, rich natural areas, things to do and fun ways to do them, high quality accommodations and dining, and genuine Southern hospitality. Great things – good and not so good – have been happening since Charleston was founded way back in 1670. Colonial history, encounters with pirates, Civil War conflicts, Charleston’s own Revolutionary War Tea Party, and spine-tingling ghost stories are all subjects for horse-drawn carriage tours, living museums, and harbor cruises. It doesn’t duck its involvement in slavery,

Natural Wanders by Art Weber facing it earnestly and honestly in places like the Old Slave Mart Museum. The old Charleston jail, built in 1802 and mercifully abandoned in 1932, was the most dismal bastion of filth, misery, and torture imaginable. It’s said 10,000 inmates died within its walls, and, if the ghost tours and hunters are to be believed, more than a few of those brutalized souls remain. Ghostly tales don’t deter strollers exploring the city day and night on brick walkways

Ride through the wooded estate of President Rutherford B. Hayes in a horse-drawn sleigh, as Hayes did when he lived here. South Creek Clydesdales will offer horse-drawn sleigh and trolley rides from 1-4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 through Monday, Dec. 31 at Spiegel Grove, the grounds of the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums in Fremont. Cost is $3 per rider ages 3 and older and free for riders 2 and younger. Tickets can be purchased Dec. 2631 at the front desk in the museum and library building. Rides are given on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are taken. The trolley, which can hold 16-18 people, could be used in addition to or in place of the sleigh, which holds four people, depending on demand and South Creek Clydesdales’ staff availability. Sleigh rides will be offered whether or not there is snow. However, if the wind chill is zero or below zero or there are thunderstorms, rides will be canceled. For updates, visit rbhayes.org and the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums’ social media pages. The sleigh rides are a long-standing holiday tradition at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums. President Rutherford B. Hayes Hayes often rode in a horse-drawn sleigh and noted his excursions and how much he enjoyed them in his diaries, which are kept in the Hayes Presidential Library. The Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is located at Spiegel Grove at the corner of Hayes and Buckland avenues. For information, call 419-332-2081, or visit rbhayes.org.

Buddy, a retired Ohio Amish draft horse, pulls a carriage past Charleston Market. Carriage rides are a favorite form of travel in Historic Charleston. (Photo by Art Weber) along cobblestone streets, past beautiful preserved homes dripping with ornate ironwork, dropping in and out of the myriad of shops, stopping in taverns for refreshments, taking in sea breezes on rooftop bars. Food’s a big deal in Charleston, especially their own Low Country cuisine. Natives will tell you, “Eat until you sleep, sleep until you’re hungry.” You can do it that way, but you’ll be sorry that you’ve missed so much. Start planning your visit at www. CharlestonCVB.com.

Put Heidebrink anywhere on the pitch, and he’s effective By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Under the leadership of veteran coach Carlo Pocino, Woodmore has become a juggernaut in boys soccer. The Wildcats finished a 17-3 season and won a second straight Northern Buckeye Conference championship behind the play of seniors Hayden Heidebrink and Alec Garcia. Heidebrink, because of his versatility, is this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year, and Pocino, in his 14th year at the helm, is the Coach of the Year. Not only is Heidebrink a scorer, but he’s all over the pitch — on offense, defense, and even in goal when necessary. The 5-foot-11 Heidebrink put up 82 points his senior year on 27 goals and 28 assists. He was a Northern Buckeye Conference first team midfielder who set numerous records — including a schoolrecord most assists in a game (5) and most assists among Northwest Ohio Scholastic Soccer Association schools for a season (28), which was also first statewide in Division III this year and among all three divisions in the NWOSSCA. He was ninth in the NWOSSCA for goals scored and 27th across all three divisions statewide. For his career, he has 44 goals and 45 assists. “Hayden has been a driving force the last two years at Woodmore with his strong presence at midfield controlling and distributing the ball to other players helping them to control the game and giving Woodmore two NBC back to back titles with a 9-1 record in 2017 and a 10-0 in 2018, and also helping Woodmore reach the district final,” Pocino said. “He is one of those players who will do well playing in any college.” Not only was Heidebrink a scorer, but he became a net minder when the situation called for it. In two key wins, a 3-2 victory over a good Riverdale squad and 5-1 win over Eastwood, both in the tournament, Heidebrink became a goalkeeper in the fi-

nal minutes. He finished with seven saves. For the Wildcats, Garcia finished the year with 79 points on 34 goals and 11 assists as the Wildcats outscored opponents 114-46. Sophomore goalkeeper Zachary Hunt led the defense with 101 saves. Woodmore junior midfielder Paul Koenig had 13 goals and 10 assists, senior midfielder Brandon Blausey had 12 goals and six assists, senior midfielder Cole Anthony had six goals and six assists, and junior forward Juan Moreno had five goals and four assists. Rounding out the Wildcats’ scoring was not only his veterans, but many of Pocino’s younger players and his team’s future — freshman Christopher “C.J.”

Buchanan had six goals and an assist, senior midfielder Samuel Barbee had two goals and six assists, sophomore midfielder Zachary Hunt scored two goals, sophomore forward Josh Hazel had a goal and two assists, senior midfieler Noah Whitney scored once and senior forward Peyton Sorg had an assist. Woodmore was not the only team in the Eastern Maumee Bay region to win or contend for a league title — Oak Harbor shared the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division championship and Clay was in the run for a Three Rivers Athletic Conference title until their final league game. The Eagles, under first-year coach Zachary Soncrant, have two first team

All-Press selections in sophomore striker Keeghan Calkins and junior midfielder Ruger Wamer, who was also the place kicker for the football team. Calkins had 29 points on 12 goals and five assists and Wamer followed with 28 on nine goals and 10 assists. Clay senior forward Zach Row, a second team All-Press pick, had six goals and an assist, and junior Zach Rowe, who had three assists despite playing mostly defense, is also second team. Honorable mention recognition goes to senior left back Brody Leichty (one assist), senior fullback Caleb Bradley (one goal, two assists), and senior midfielder Todd Gyurke (two goals, three assists). Sophomore Trevor Jurski led the team in goal with 43 saves and Bradley added 27. Clay finished the season 9-9 overall, but was 5-1 in the TRAC before losing to St. John’s 6-0 in the next to last game of the regular season. The only other league loss was to St. Francis 4-1, but the Eagles defeated Central Catholic (2-1), Findlay (3-1), Lima Senior (8-1), Fremont Ross (2-1) and Whitmer (5-1) in conference play. The Eagles also had non-league regular season wins over Perrysburg (1-0), Vermilion (6-2), and Bryan (2-0) and gave Amherst Steele (3-2 loss) a run for their money. Clay’s season ended thanks to Northern Lakes League champion and state-ranked Sylvania Northview in their second game of the tournament. Soncrant had been on Clay’s soccer staff for four years – his junior varsity squad went 11-2-1 last season, and this year he replaced Justin Guy as varsity head coach. Soncrant’s assistant coaches were Scott Wamer, Robb Calkins, Dustin Ramsey and Dean Shousher. The team’s videographer is Rod Young. All-Press soccer selections are taken from all-league selections with adjustments made based on all-district voting.

Rockets win league title, but take quick tourney exit The Press Box

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Oak Harbor boys soccer went 10-7 and won a Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division co-championship, but took a quick exit out of the tournament thanks to a lower seed from 60 miles away. However, on October 13, the Rockets knew they had to defeat Huron to share the the league title with the Tigers, and the Rockets did so with a 3-2 victory. For the first time all year – and in the final regular season game, the Rockets were able to have both of their senior captains playing. Center midfielders Tristan Lacer and Kolton Hall suited up for their final regular season home game of their careers after both suffered severe injuries that kept them out the majority of the season. “Lacer played in only his second game of the season after suffering a broken ankle in the final pre-season game. Hall had been out since game five with a knee injury but wanted to try to play. Their presence and senior leadership willed the young Rockets team to their best game of the season against one-loss and SBC co-champion Huron,” said Coach Ken Filar. Lacer was one of Oak Harbor’s top players his junior year, despite missing three weeks that season, and was the Alan Miler Jewelers All-Press Co-Player of the Year. Last year’s team finished 14-5-2 and reached the district final, but because he missed so much of this year’s season Lacer only received second team honors in the SBC, district, and on this year’s All-Press Team. However, three Rockets are first team and they all are juniors — forward Mason VanNess, midfielder Adam Barton and defenseman Jon Robinson. However, having Lacer back his senior year for the Huron game was huge for Filar’s squad — his midfield presence helped the team on defense and offense. In the win over the Tigers, Caleb Heintz, Mason VanNess, and Jose’ Hartmann scored for Oak Harbor with junior captain Aidan Barton and Sophomore Luke Jacobs getting assists. Goalkeeper Caleb Goldstein made

A), Hall (2 G, 2 A), Josh Collins (2 G, 1 A), Noah Mylander (2 G, 1 A), Mason Gradel (2 G), Heintz (2 G), Lacer (2 G), Michael Judge (1 G, 2 A), Chance Milledge (1 G), Brock Hanney (2 A), and Luke Jacobs (1 A). In goal, Goldstein led the way with 61 saves, Hartmann had eight saves and Heintz had four saves. Other wins this year came over Willard (2-0 and 2-1), Old Fort (7-1 and 4-1), Port Clinton (7-0 and 2-0), Edison (2-0), Lake (21) and Clyde (6-2). Losses were to Northern Buckeye Conference champion Woodmore (5-2), Genoa (5-1), Huron (2-1), Van Buren (6-0), Edison (2-0) and Fremont Ross (4-2). However, in the tournament, No. 4 seeded Oak Harbor drew and hosted No. 7 seed Ada (11-6-1) out of the Northwest Conference, which includes schools from as far away as Van Wert County. That’s what can happen with the new district draw format adopted a few years ago. Somehow, the Bulldogs made use of their 60-mile journey, defeating the Rockets, 2-1. “We had a bad ‘down’ and our season ended against a team that only had three shots against us and scored on two of them, including a bad goalkeeper error,” Filar said. “We couldn’t score ourselves though, which is kind of important.”

five saves. The victory gives Oak Harbor its fifth championship in the last six years. “It was a very difficult season for us with several hurdles and challenges in our way. Despite them all and the many ups and downs, the boys managed to have all of their ‘ups’ in our league games which allowed us to tie for the SBC championship,” Filar said.

“We have several young kids who were forced to play a lot of varsity before they were ready and they will be key guys down the road.” The Rockets were led this season by Aidan Barton, who had 13 goals and seven assists, VanNess with nine goals and six assists, and Petersen with three goals and four assists. Other scorers were Hartmann (3 G, 2

Are Cardinals, Comets on a collision course again? By J. Patrick Eaken and Mark Griffin sports@presspublications.com Two years in a row, Genoa and Cardinal Stritch have met in the Division III district tournament at Central Catholic’s Sullivan Center, and two years in a row the Cardinals have prevailed. Both teams could be on the same collision course this year. Both are heavily favored to be at the top of their respective conferences, and if they can hold serve there, here comes another district tournament showdown. Everything seems to be in place for the Cardinals, who have won 43 games the past two seasons. Stritch returns all five starters from last year’s fifth-ranked team, which lost to 11th-ranked Archbold in the Division III district finals. Coach Jamie Kachmarik said the Cardinals looked good in preseason scrimmages. “We can defend, we can run, we’re athletic and we can shoot,” he said. “We are extremely athletic. The biggest thing right now is the unknown depth. We have younger guys who haven’t been there, but anytime you have a chance to start a 6-6 kid and a 6-7 kid along with our backcourt, I like our team.” In five years at the helm, coach Zack Alt’s Genoa teams have won two Northern Buckeye Conference championships. This year, his team is the favorite to win another, but Alt is getting a late start in putting everything together because the football team reached the Division V regional finals and many players just got onto the basketball court a couple weeks back. There’s another issue with that — Alt says he “has some pretty banged up guys out of football.” Right now, Alt is saying he expects his team to finish in the “top half” of the NBC standings, and he’s committing to nothing more. “There are extremely talented teams

with very good coaches. Every night will be a grind,” Alt said. At Clay last year, six wins were the most a Clay boys basketball team has had in the last decade. Coach David Rodriguez would like to see this year’s team, at the least, reset that mark again. He says that also means getting more than one win in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. Last year’s team started out the season 2-0 and looked in good shape until league play began. “I expect us to compete and finish in the middle of one of the best leagues in Northwest Ohio,” Rodriguez said. “Strengths of our team include being long, athletic and we can shoot very well. Our weakness is (lack of) experience, which is more important than anything else in our league.” Darren White takes over as head coach at Waite after eight years as an assistant at Woodward. He knows the Toledo City League well and believes his team can be in contention. “We will compete every night,” White said. “It’s hard to say where we will finish because of the lack of experience, but if we compete to our potential we will challenge for a final four spot in the City League. “The league will be very competitive this year. The pack will be led by the defending champion Start Spartans. They have a lot of good pieces coming back and one of the best coaches in the area. Rogers will also be competitive. They have great coaching as well and two of the most talented players in Northwest Ohio. “We will be overmatched nightly sizewise, but our team has a lot of heart and won’t back down from any challenge,” White continued.

Clay’s girls have had success, and are looking for more By J. Patrick Eaken and Mark Griffin sports@presspublications.com At Clay, girls basketball coach Corey Slovak has had success, including being honored twice as TRAC Coach of the Year. In 2014-15, he was Division I Coach of the Year. In his seven years at the helm, his teams have an accumulated record over .500, and he’d like to get this year’s team over that mark after not doing so last year. “We lack the experienced depth we’ve had in the past, so we’ll try and control tempo as best we can, run and get easy baskets when possible, but we can’t get into track meets and be successful,” Slovak said. “We also need to capitalize on our size and get some easy baskets on offensive rebound opportunities. “The competition in the TRAC is going to be ‘crazy-good.’ Notre Dame is full of size and athleticism and (NCAA) Division I players. Lima Senior returns all five starters from last year’s team, including the league’s top point guard. Whitmer has two very good three-year starters back also. Central Catholic and Fremont Ross

are always tough match-ups for us, and (St. Ursula) has shown steady improvement,” Slovak continued. “Of course we want to win them all, but the TRAC is loaded again this season and Notre Dame might have their strongest team since the TRAC was formed. I would love to see us get to .500 in league play.” In addition, they will have to play without 5-foot-11 forward Elizabeth Vincent, who averaged 11 points, seven rebounds and 2.7 blocks last year as a senior, earning second team All-Press honors. Also graduated is honorable mention AllPress pick Shannon Coughlin, another 5-11 forward who contributed eight points, four rebounds and two assists. “Inexperience is our biggest weakness. Five of our eight full-time varsity players have very little to no varsity game experience, so we’ll have some growing pains throughout the season. We also need to improve on minimizing turnovers. Turnovers killed us last season, so that has been an emphasis early in the practice season.” Two teams in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, Cardinal Stritch and Northwood, think they can up their game from last year.

The Cardinals graduated five seniors, including their top three scorers, after finishing fourth in the TAAC last season. Stritch opened this season Nov. 23 at Fremont St. Joe, and coach Brad Kuron said he liked what his team showed him in the preseason. “They are a hard-working group,” he said. “We’re pretty quick, but we’re not big at all — very athletic, but young and inexperienced. We are going to have quite a few girls who are either freshmen or sophomores who don’t have a lot of varsity experience. We’re going to have some growing pains this year and we are feeling our way through things.” The Rangers don’t really believe they will come out and win a TAAC championship, unless things go really well. First-year coach Andrew Dickey is hoping his team can finish in “the middle of the pack.” His players are backing him up. “We have a team that’s hungry to prove themselves this year and I believe will do great things,” Dickey said. “We’ve got a great league in the TAAC with a lot of talented players and coaches. Every game we’re going to play will be a battle.” Senior guard Corey Fry said, “We’re

looked at as the underdogs, but we’re much better, stronger and faster this year.” Dickey says he is putting an emphasis on playing team ball. “We have a strong desire to play great defense this year. And want to play team ball,” said Dickey. “I’ve been throwing out the old Bo Schembechler ‘The Team’ speech since the season has started. I believe our ability to play together will be the biggest difference we see on the floor.” Senior point guard Olivia Randall said, “We needed to reset and refocus because teamwork is the secret and that makes common people achieve uncommon results.” Senior shooting guard Lamai Fox added, “We play lots of good teams which will make for a lot of intense and close games, but if we play as a team we’ll bring home the victories.” Dickey even admits if there is a team weakness right now, it is probably himself, the coach. “I’m a new coach trying new things and that can be frustrating for teams at times. But my girls have really stepped up and accepted the new look of our team and plan on giving it their all this year,” Dickey said.

Buckeye fans can celebrate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the massacre at The Shoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Two days after Thanksgiving, on a Saturday at precisely 12:06 p.m., the worst beating Michigan football has ever taken from Ohio State began. It seems many Buckeye fans were thinking that the way Ohio State had played this year, Michigan would avenge the 15 losses they have suffered to Ohio State since 2001. Michigan fans, however, seemed surprisingly reluctant to predict a win against an Urban Meyer-coached team. They were right. Ohio State brought a different team to the game and did just about everything you could ask for and whipped the daylights out of the team â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;up north.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The final score â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 62-39. The Buckeyes offense owned the No. 1 Michigan defense. The OSU offense gave quarterback Dwayne Haskins plenty of throwing time, opened the line for running backs Mike Weber and J.K. Dobbins and did not allow any sacks. After Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game Michigan had a reason to be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;blue.â&#x20AC;? The Buckeyes were quick to begin what was to become a blood bath. The Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first possession went six plays for 57 yards and their first touchdown on a pass from Haskins to freshman Chris Olave. This was just the beginning of an outstanding day for Olaye, the young relatively unknown who was almost over looked by OSU. It seems that he had to sit out his junior high school year because he transferred schools. There was minimal film of him and he was initially overlooked. Brian Hartline, now one of the Buckeye coaches, somehow spotted Olaye and convinced the rest of the staff to help evaluate the receiver and OSU grabbed him. In the second quarter Olave was again the recipient of a 24-yard Haskins pass for another TD. Still not done, Olaye blocked a Michigan punt and another freshman, Sevyn Banks, caught it in the air and returned the rock 33 yards for a touchdown. The blocked kick was not a freak accident. It seems that defensive coach Greg Schiano came up with a formation that he thought would put Olave in a position to block a punt. He showed it to Meyer, who said it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work because Olave would only have 2.1 seconds to block it and he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that fast. The opportunity to try the setup came in the third quarter. With Michigan in punt formation, the Ohio State interior defensive linemen did not try to punch through and block the kick. Instead, they pushed the Michigan linemen to the side opening a hole for Olave to run through and touch the ball with his hand just enough to slow its trajectory. The ball flew up like a wounded bird and Sevyn Banks caught the ball and took it in for a TD. In his after-game press conference, Meyer said he OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d an attempt to block the kick, but he thought it would be a different play. When he saw the lineup, he was not pleased and started yelling that it was the wrong play. Fortunately, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call time out to stop the play. The rest is history. Meyer admitted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been wrong before,â&#x20AC;? and he was again. Haskins, who has a cannon for an arm, like precision ripped apart the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 defense for 396 yards, six touchdowns and he threw no interceptions. He also ran the ball three times. He does not have the running skill developed to the level of for-

by Harold Hamilton mer Ohio State quarterbacks J.T. Barrett or Braxton Miller, but the mere threat of a run helps to keep the defenses honest. For his effort, Haskins was chosen as Big Ten Player of the Week for the sixth time this year. His performance upped his season passing numbers to 4,081 yards, second-best in the nation, and 42 touchdowns, first nationally. Haskins has set multiple records at OSU and in the nation and is currently ranked third by prognosticators in the Heisman Trophy hunt.

Inspirational Message of the Week: What’s Your Story? You often hear it said that only you can define what success means to you. While this is certainly true, it doesn’t go far enough. That is, the story of our life is something that only we can properly tell. We certainly rely on others to help us with the details, since no one remembers their own birth, or can know what happened while they were under anesthesia or otherwise unconscious, but it’s up to us to create the guiding narrative of our own life story. And don’t we all want there to be a story worth telling when it comes to our own life? While we are alive the story is necessarily unfinished, but as we get older we begin

Northwood

to see certain themes coming together. Whatever your life story is about, make sure that the way you live makes you a hero and not a villain. And like any good story, the parts that tell us the most are the trials and the struggles we go through. It’s easy to be calm, cool and collected when everything is going smoothly. The real question is whether you can maintain your composure, and your values, when things start to fall apart? Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
