Zoning case before plan commission

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“

The controversy… is over the proposed end use of the parcels, and not over all of the uses that could occur on the parcel if it were rezoned.

“

The staff of the Wood County Planning Commission is recommending the commission approve a zoning change request for two lots in Lake Township along Woodville Road from R-2 residential to B-2 general commercial.

The request was submitted by James Mlynek, owner of Woodville Road Nursery, who plans to use the parcels as a transfer station for leaves that will be used to make compost across the road at the nursery site.

The planning commission is scheduled to meet Dec. 5 at 5:30 p.m. at the county office building in Bowling Green.

Residents of Bailey Road have complained to township trustees about odors from the site as well as possible drainage problems and other issues. Mlynek has al-

ready placed piles of leaves he’s received from area municipalities on the parcels.

The staff recommendation acknowledges the request has riled neighboring

residents but notes the requested classification is compatible with other existing uses in the area.

“The controversy…is over the proposed end use of the parcels, and not over all of the uses that could occur on the parcel if it were rezoned,” the recommendation says. “Said requested use is also compatible with what the (county) Land Use Plan has designated for the area. Lastly, the parcel as it stands is still zoned residential. It is surrounded by a sea of commercial uses on the east side of Bailey Road and along Woodville Road.”

However, any commercial use on the parcels would have to meet landscape, screening and buffering requirements in the township’s zoning regulations, the recommendation states.

According to an analysis by the staff, Continued on page 4

Oregon City Council on Monday voted 4-3 in favor of a Special Use Permit for property located at 5024 Seaman Road for the purpose of operating a Bed and Breakfast.

A public hearing was held on Sept. 19 by the Oregon Planning Commission, which voted 5-0 to recommend the Special Use in an R-1 Low Density Residential District for the operation of the Bed and Breakfast. A public hearing was held before council on Oct. 23 and was continued to Nov. 27 for further discussion out of some concern the property was not well maintained.

Applicant Derrick Jaegle requested the Special Use Permit because the proposed Bed and Breakfast was in an R-1 residential zone, which does not permit it. A Bed and Breakfast is allowed in an R-3 multi-family zone.

Ruth Price, of Seaman Rd., expressed opposition to the Special Use at the public hearing in October, saying the property was “not really maintained like a Bed and Breakfast.”

Councilman James Seaman had agreed that the property was “not well maintained.”

“It’s different from what is in that neighborhood,” he said. “I’m concerned.”

Jaegle was not at that hearing to address their concerns.

At the extended public hearing on Monday, James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning, said the continuation of the public hearing was to develop stipulations for the Special Use Permit.

“It was continued to today,” said Gilmore. “The reason was to maybe put some stipulations or provisions on this particular Special Use.” Mayor Mike Seferian, who sits on the Planning Commission, said the main reaContinued on page 2

Bed & Breakfast Continued from front page son the hearing was continued was because Jaegle was not at the hearing in October to answer questions about the Bed and Breakfast.

“I believe the main reason city council had extended the public hearing was because the applicant, who was not here, is now here to answer questions,” he said.

Jaegle said to council that he is a disabled war veteran, and his son is battling pancreatitis.

Marsh morning Sunrise and cold, crisp air creates some dramatic colors over Magee Marsh. (Photo courtesy of Maggi Dandar) there in total for any length of time?” asked Councilman Tim Zale. “How busy have you been?”

“I have a guy who has been with me for three weeks, and another guy who just left in the last three weeks. It’s been pretty successful. I’ve had multiple people stay,” he said.

Each room has a refrigerator, a microwave, and a queen sized bed with a TV set, he said.

No breakfast Reeves asked whether he will be serving breakfast at the Bed and Breakfast.

“My parents have a million dollar home in Georgia. They rent out the entire basement of their home, which is in the mountains. They informed me that I don’t want to get into the food aspect of things being it’s a smaller entity. So it’s just better to avoid it for different reasons. That’s what their lawyers are saying. So I’m just avoiding the food. For example, I don’t offer coffee, I don’t offer any breakfast. There’s a coffee pot in each room for them and paper towels so they’re self-sufficient,” said Jaegle.

“If we’re not providing the breakfast,” said Reeves, “I don’t think it’s living up to the Special Use we’re being asked to pass or deny.”

Seferian said the zoning code does not require meals be served in a Bed and Breakfast.

“You have the ability to serve breakfast, but you’re not required to,” said Seferian.

Gilmore agreed.

“The definition of a Bed and Breakfast is simply this: An owner occupied dwelling that provides rooms for compensation.

However, I’m pretty strict about my rules and procedures. I try to invite people who are on the go, and are presentable, respectable people.

“

Improvements “However, in spite of that, we do have great plans for the property,” said Jaegle.

He plans to make improvements to his property, he said.

“We’re going to redo the driveway.

We’re going to do concrete all the way to the street eventually, and put a pond scape in the front yard. There’s going to be a lot of other things going on as well,” said Jaegle.

Other improvements include new garage doors, new windows, a high efficiency water heater and furnace, new doors, alarms and fire extinguishers.

“I’m doing everything above and beyond code as well as beautification. I plan on putting some bird feeders and some other things on the property as well to brighten it. My son has been in the hospital for six months in the last year, so funds have been a little low. We hope to generate some funds and beautify the property further,” said Jaegle.

He said he and his son take care of the yard.

There were some issues with large ruts on the property that were too big for the lawn mower to handle, he added. “But we’re working through these obstacles.”

Jaegle said there will be two bedrooms available for rent, with up to two people per room.

“Although we are under the term of bed and breakfast, I’m strictly offering a room for rent at the moment to avoid any other obstacles as far as food temperatures and different things of that nature. My intention is not to have just random people to stay. We have security alarms and cameras, as well as everyone who is on my property is background checked. People who generally stay are not bringing in defunct vehicles and all types of other issues that may cause a problem. My driveway is rather large where we can place the vehicles in the back, and have no intention on having anything on the front or the side of the home that would be an eyesore.”

Councilman Terry Reeves asked Jaegle for clarification on how many rooms he is offering for rent.

“You’re going to rent out one room? Is that what you’re currently doing?” he asked Jaegle.

“Yes, I’m going to have a room for rent either for a night, a week or a month. I’m not going to be doing the breakfast side of things. I don’t want to open up the opportunity to be sued or whatever else,” he said.

Jaegle said he’s been using his property as an Airbnb, which is an online marketplace that connects people looking to rent their homes with people who are looking for accommodations.

“I’ve been doing that for two months, but I didn’t realize the way this all works.

I’m only learning as I go,” he said.

“How many people have you had stay

serve food or don’t. It doesn’t matter if you use Airbnb or you rent a simple room, it’s still considered a Bed and Breakfast,” said Gilmore.

Jaegle said he’s had renters that are registered nurses, a diplomat from Saudi Arabia, and a power plant employee from Davis-Besse. “I know there may have been some concerns about different clientele types. However, I’m pretty strict about my rules and procedures. I try to invite people who are on the go, and are presentable, respectable people.”

The Planning Commission did not provide any stipulations on the property when it recommended that council approve Jaegle’s request, said Gilmore.

“You’re allowed to put stipulations on a Special Use Permit to safeguard the community,” said Gilmore.

City council would have to have at least six votes to change the recommendation by the planning commission.

Evolving Councilwoman Sandy Bihn asked if someone who rented a room in their home through Airbnb would need a permit.

“This is a contentious issue. I’m not aware whether many of those people have Special Use Permits. From what I’ve read, this is kind of in a state of flux. Part of me questions whether [Jaegle] needs to be here.

I think this is a good discussion, but if other people in our community are doing this, are we going to police it?”

City Administrator Mike Beazley said it was “an evolving, changing practice,” to rent rooms in a home.

“Any Oregon homeowner has the right to lease their space by the night, the month or year to someone else under current law,” explained Beazley. “But once I stay there and host them, it falls under the definition of our code – that it becomes the equivalent of a Bed and Breakfast.”

Council granted the Special Use with the stipulation that it is reviewed one year later with an option to renew to “make sure the property is being kept up, and it doesn’t have any impact on the neighbors,” according to Reeves, who asked that the condition be included in the ordinance.

“It could be renewed for a year, or made permanent,” said Seferian. “Whatever council chooses to do.”

Seferian said if Jaegle decided to stop operating as a Bed and Breakfast, the Special Use would no longer exist on the property after two years.

Council members who voted in favor of the Special Use are Kathleen Pollauf, Tim Zale, Reeves and Bihn. Those who voted against are Council President Dennis Walendzak, Steve Hornyak, and James Seaman.

Dog tethering to be discussed at meeting

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Saying they are tired of seeing dogs chained outside, in all kinds of weather, members of the Lucas County Pit Crew are holding a public meeting on Thursday, Dec. 14 from 6:30-8 pm., at 855 N. McCord Road, in Toledo.

According to Jean Keating, executive director of the Lucas County Pit Crew, those who attend the meeting are invited to help come up with plans that concerned citizens can use to help a dog they see that is tethered for long periods of time.

“Tethering a dog is dangerous for the dog and for people,” Keating said. “Thirty percent of the dog bites on people across the county come from dogs that are tethered. They cannot run and get away from people that come up to them so all they have is to bite. It is cruel to leave a dog tethered outside.”

Keating said she constantly gets messages on her Facebook page or calls from people who are frustrated and concerned about dogs being left outside, in all types of weather. Dogs are left without shelter and sometimes without food and water, she said.

Keating said what really made her want to get a meeting and a plan together for dogs was the death of a dog found on Indiana Avenue, recently. A dog was also found dead near Bancroft Street two months ago.

“There was a call to the Toledo Area Humane Society one day about the dog on Indiana,” Keating said. “The next day, when they came out, the dog was found dead. It is heartbreaking. Being tied up outside with no food or water is just no way for a dog to live.”

Keating said she has fielded angry emails and messages from citizens who were talking about going into a yard and taking a tethered dog they were concerned about. Keating said she has told them that they cannot just take the dog, that there are legal remedies.

One of the remedies is a tethering ordinance that has been on Toledo’s books since 2013.

The ordinance, which is ORC 1706.02 in the municipal code, mandates that a dog not be tethered unattended for more than 30 minutes at a time. It also must be tethered separately from other dogs.

Keating said tethering is happening a lot in areas with higher crime, drug issues and high poverty. Although not exclusive to East Toledo, it is happening a lot and many people are afraid to say anything about the dogs they see daily being abused.

Many are afraid of gang retaliation.

“Look, taking dogs out of yards is not the answer,” Keating said. “We need to see if we can get the ordinance enforced and to cite people. Winter is just around the corner and animals will be left out to freeze.

Let’s develop an action plan together to

(Photo courtesy Toledo Area Humane Society) stop the suffering. We want people to know the law. We have to have an action plan to help. Something has to be done.”

Karen Reno, of East Toledo, has spent years helping lost and abused dogs. Reno said people do not understand the law and really just want to rush in and help.

“Look, if someone even cares just a little bit about their dog, they will not leave them outside,” Reno said. “A dog left outside 24/7 will most likely die.

“There have been dogs left at abandoned homes without food and water,” she explained. “You just can’t go in the yard and take the dog if the dog is in a fenced yard. There are laws that have to be followed.”

Stephen Heaven, president of TAHS, said although the tethering ordinance was well meaning, more stringent laws on animal cruelty have more teeth.

“With tethering, we cannot take the dog away,” Heaven said. “The worst a person gets is a $25 fine and we cannot take the dog. Now, a dog that is tethered outside, no shelter, food, medical care, that is a cruelty case and we can do something to save it.”

Heaven said that his cruelty officers did go out on the Indiana Avenue case the day after it was called in. He said the original caller had called the night before and said the dog, which was reported to be teth-

On Nov. 29, Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez announced changes for the 2017-18 dog-licensing season.

The Auditor’s Office is joining forces with the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, Lucas County Canine Care, and non-profit Friends of Lucas County Love Dogs to make dog-licensing more convenient for pet owners.

As a result of the partnership, the 20 libraries will serve as dog-licensing locations. “We discovered that increasing community partnerships is a component of the Library’s strategic plan, so it made perfect sense for us to explore working together. Our new relationship improves our ability to service Lucas County, taxpayers and the relationship contributes to each of our organizational objectives,” Lopez said.

Although more than 38,000 dog owners have purchased more than 53,000 licenses, Richard Stewart, director of Lucas County Canine Care believes that there could be thousands of dog owners with unlicensed dogs.

“We want to make it very clear that there are many benefits to licensing your dog,” Stewart said. “First, the law requires dog owners to purchase a license. If your licensed dog gets lost and our Canine Control specialists find it, the pet will receive a safe and free ride home. Also, most dog parks require a license.”

Each week between Dec. 1 and Jan. 31, Friends of Lucas County Dogs will randomly award a pair of Huntington Center event tickets to those that have purchased a new dog license.

All area women are invited to attend the “Changing Seasons with Change of Seasons” luncheon and program sponsored by the Toledo East Women’s Connection on Thursday, Dec. 14 at Bayside, 2769 Seaman St., Oregon. Doors open at 11:30 a.m.

ered and not in good condition, had been taken inside that night.

In that case, Heaven said, animal cruelty charges have been filed.

In another case, a pit bull mix named T-Bone had been reported a few weeks ago as possibly deceased. The dog was tethered outside with no food or water. TAHS officers found T-bone alive and he is now healthy enough to be put on a pre-adoption hold. Heaven said charges have also been filed against the owner in that case.

“I believe we all have to agree to work together,” Heaven said. “We can do more working together and we get much further if we work with citizens and animal welfare groups to reach a meaningful goal.”

Heaven said TAHS receives 2,0003,000 calls per year concerning animal cruelty. The agency is run through funding from donations. He said he would like to see a volunteer-citizen cruelty task force, similar to groups that work with the police department.

“People could be trained to identify cruelty, take evidence at the scene, etc.,” Heaven said. “I believe that would do more good than the tethering law. If you see a dog that looks like it is being treated inhumanely, it is a cruelty case, please call our Cruelty Hot Line.”

Woodville Rd. Continued from front page the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued a permit to Mlynek for the intended use and the Wood County engineer’s office has informed him a storm water permit wasn’t needed from the office. There are no floodplains or wetlands located on the site.

The planning commission’s recommendation for approval or not to approve the request will be submitted to the township, which has scheduled a meeting for Dec. 20 of its zoning commission to hear the request. The township zoning commission will then submit a recommendation to the trustees.

Philip Dombey, the township solicitor, recently informed the trustees that Mlynek must receive a zoning certificate from the township to operate the site as a transfer station for the leaf piles.

B-1 request The county planning commission will also hear a request to rezone a parcel of land in Lake Township from R-2 residential to B-1 neighborhood business.

The parcel is located at the corner of Plumey and Lemoyne roads.

The applicant, Jean Witt, has indicated she intends to sell the property to a small business owner.

The staff is recommending the commission “discuss the rezoning request further to determine what they consider to be the best and most appropriate use of the land.”

“Given the parcel’s location near other land that is zoned residential, there being no floodplains or wetlands on the property, and there being public water or sewer located on the property, the current R-2 zoning designation is an appropriate zoning designation for this parcel. That being said, the location right beside the railroad tracks, the fact that Lake Township has buffering requirements, and the intended design of the B-1 neighborhood use classification is also a logical choice for a lot that may otherwise be undesirable,” the staff recommendation says.

Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday approved a contract with Local 755 and Ohio Council 8 American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (A.F.S.C.M.E.) AFL-CIO. The previous collective bargaining agreement between the city and Local 755 and Ohio Council 8 A.F.S.C.M.E. AFL-CIO, expired on June 30.

The contract, ratified by the union, is effective from July, 2017 to June 30, 2020.

It includes a 3 percent increase in the base wages of employees retroactive from July 1, 2017, 2 ¾ percent as of July 1, 2018, and 2 ¾ as of July 1, 2019.

“This agreement follows the same pattern agreement as our previous collective bargaining agreements,” said City Administrator Mike Beazley. “This is kind of the final for full-time employees. We still

Professional, Technical and Supervisory (PST) employees (non-bargaining).

All pay ranges for full-time and permanent part-time non-bargaining employees, known as Professional, Supervisory and Technical employees, were increased by 3 percent. Employees in those positions will receive pay retroactive to July 1, 2017.

Effective July 1, 2018, all PST pay ranges will increase by 2 ¾. Effective July 1, 2019, pay ranges will be increased by 2 ¾.

Due to additional requirements and responsibilities at the water treatment plant and the wastewater treatment plant, it was determined that the pay range for superintendent of wastewater treatment and superintendent of water treatment be upgraded.

“On the PST employees, it follows again that same primary language. We are taking some positions that have been entitled to overtime and making them just straight salary. It will allow us to operate more efficiently, with a more fair way at compensation,” said Beazley.

There were changes in overtime, educational funding and funeral leave, according to Beazley.

“The union was looking for some changes to overtime and some changes to clothing allowance issues that we did not go with, but instead went with an alternative one-time payment that we think works.

We feel good about the pattern. We think the workforce was ultimately satisfied with it. They voted to ratify it this week. It was not ratified unanimously, but ratified,” said Beazley.

Mayor Mike Seferian said the contract was ratified by a vote of 44-4. “Maybe not unanimous, but pretty darn close.”

Forfeited land sale set for Dec. 7 The Wood County auditor’s office will hold a sale of forfeited land Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. in Bowling Green.

The sale will be a public auction format and the parcels, which are being offered due to non-payment of taxes, will be sold to the highest bidders.

Each parcel has been forfeited to the state after failing to find purchasers 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,” said Auditor Matthew Oestreich.

A list of parcels is available at the auditor’s office or online at www.co.wood. oh.us/auditor/. The properties are located in eight different tax jurisdictions: North Baltimore, Weston, Lake Township, Custar, Risingsun, West Millgrove, Tontagany and Bowling Green.

As of last week, there were 16 parcels and one mobile home for sale. However, if the delinquent taxes are paid by the owner, parcels will be removed from the list.

The list includes homes in Custar,

Risingsun and West Millgrove; a commercial building in Tontogany, and a mobile home in Bowling Green.

Registration for the sale begins at 9 a.m. in the fifth floor hearing room. Interested parties are being asked to make prior inquiries to be assured of the location of a property. Successful bidders will receive an auditor’s deed for each parcel for the purchase price plus $5.50 deed and transfer fee.

The transaction will give buyers clear title, the auditor said, adding that the sale won’t necessarily extinguish any federal tax liens that may have been imposed on a parcel.

Buyers won’t have delinquent real estate tax liability for the parcels purchased and will receive the tax bill for the first half of 2017 tax settlement due February 2018.

More information can be found online at the auditor’s website. The link for the auction will display a list of properties and by clicking on a parcel number viewers will be directed to more specific information.

Wood County

Dog license applications accepted Applications are being accepted for 2018 Wood County dog licenses, Wood County Auditor Matthew Oestreich said.

Ohio law requires that before Jan. 31 of each year, dogs 3 months of age or older must be registered in the county in which the dog is kept.

Required registration info includes owner information along with the dog’s age, sex, whether it is spayed or neutered, breed, color and length of hair.

In addition, the Wood County District Board of Health has adopted a regulation requiring all dogs be immunized against rabies, and rabies vaccination info must be included in the application process.

As a convenience, the Auditor’s Office mails renewal registration forms to owners of record. Owners who registered online in 2017 will receive a reminder e-mail.

The registration fee is $14 for one year and $42 for three years. A permanent license is also available for $140 (no refunds permitted).

Kennel owners are also required to register annually and pay an application fee of $70, in addition to regular dog license fees.

Those acquiring dogs after Jan. 31 have 30 days after the date of acquisition or the date the dog reaches 3 months of age to register with the Auditor’s Office.

Applications may be filed by mail, online at http://dogtags.co.wood.oh.us/ or in person at the Wood County Auditor’s Office or the Wood County Dog Shelter. Internet applications require an additional $2 processing fee per license, which goes to the online firm processing the credit card purchase.

...For 90 years, the Carnegie-funded building served the community...

“

The Locke Branch Library will be celebrating 100 years of service to the community Tuesday, Dec. 5.

The library’s storied legacy can be traced to the charity of philanthropist and business magnate Andrew Carnegie, who approached the city of Toledo about opening more neighborhood libraries. At the time, the Main Library downtown was all the area had.

The collaboration among Carnegie, the city of Toledo and the Toledo Public Library resulted in the opening of six new libraries between late 1917 and early 1918 – Locke, Jermain, Mott, Kent, South Toledo and Maumee.

The Locke Branch Library opened its doors to patrons on Dec. 5, 1917, at its original location of 800 S. Main St., Toledo.

Like many of the other branches located within Toledo, the Locke Branch Library was named after a prominent figure in the city’s rich history – former editor and owner of The Blade, David Ross Locke (1833-1888).

Locke, an American journalist famous for his early political commentary during and after the American Civil War, is best known for the letters he contributed to The Toledo Blade under the pen name Petroleum V. Nasby. The Nasby Letters gained national attention for The Blade, even gaining the readership of thenpresident Abraham Lincoln, who was a big fan of Locke’s northern satirical humor.

Within a few years of opening, Locke Branch Library would see a spike in patronage and circulation, owing to The Great Depression of the 1920s.

“Many people visited to look up information about new careers,” said current Locke Branch manager Mary Kinkus. With so many finding themselves out of work, libraries and the books they contained were the place to go to research new job prospects. And they still are today.

For 90 years, the Carnegie-funded building served the community, undergoing expansion and interior updates throughout the decades.

In 2007, the Locke Branch moved from 800 S. Main St. to a new location that would allow more room for expansion and less costly renovation. The Carnegie building itself is still standing, but is vacant. It is now owned by the City of Toledo, per an agreed contingency of what would happen if the library left the location.

In a case of history repeating itself, the library again saw an up tick in use in 2008 and 2009 during an economic downturn.

This time Locke Branch Library offered patrons more resources than just books – it was prepared to help community members get back on their feet once again.

Today “people are at the mercy of

computers; they have to do everything online,” Kinkus said. “We’ve had to learn to help them, and we’re pretty good at it.”

The Locke Branch staff is equipped to help patrons with creating resumes and navigating websites to apply for jobs online. In addition to computers, the library can help serve all of patrons’ printing, scanning, faxing and copying needs. “Kind of like a mini office,” Kinkus said.

Though the Locke Branch’s technological services are newer, there is one service that has been around since the library’s beginning – storytime.

Storytime, Kinkus says, is a service tasked with “instilling pre-literacy skills” in the community’s young ones. When the branch first opened, Locke librarians would visit local schools to read to students and promote reading and the library. The Locke Branch also has a play area, filled with toys that encourage imagination and early literacy.

Remaining connected to the community’s education, the library offers programs such as Homework Helpers, which provides help three days a week after school for students in grade 1-6, and year-round GED classes, in addition to other resources on the Toledo Lucas County Public Library’s website.

Whether applying for jobs, in need of sources for a research paper, looking for a good book to read or curious about learning to talk like a pirate, the Locke Branch Library is there to help.

All are welcome to join the Locke Branch Library in celebrating their century anniversary Tuesday, December 5, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. In addition to food, games and raffles, there will a clown on hand making balloon creations and entertaining guests.

Previously, the anniversary was recognized on Oct. 27 of this year, but Kinkus agrees there is something special about celebrating it on the actual date.

“The party will be a celebration for the community,” Kinkus said.

Locke Branch Library is located at 703 Miami St., Toledo. The branch is open Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and Wednesday though Friday, 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m.

Closed Saturday and Sunday.

Ag fights algal blooms To the editor: In the Nov. 27 article about the City of Oregon’s fight against algal blooms, a statement was made that “taxpayers have spent up to $1 billion to reduce Ohio Lake Erie phosphorus discharges...primarily for volunteer agricultural best management practices over the last five years.” While there may have been more than $1 billion spent to fight the algal blooms, the vast majority of that money has gone into needed low-interest loans for drinking water and wastewater plants and contributions to research through many universities.

The State of Ohio has contributed less than $5 million to direct agricultural best management practice assistance the past five years. The federal government, through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), has contributed approximately $77 million during the 2016 to 2018 fiscal years for best management practices and around another $35 million from 2012 to 2015.

Since these are cost-share assistance dollars, the farmers receiving the assistance would have contributed approximately $40-$60 million of their own money to help reduce the algal blooms. Most farmers have not received cost-share assistance and have spent millions more on their own to do the right thing and adopt best management practices that help Lake Erie. Farmers are continuing to use these practices at an ever increasing rate and are making a difference in the Western Lake Erie Basin.

Civilized health care To the editor: The rest of the civilized world has single payer health insurance and they wouldn’t trade it for anything.

State Senator Randy Gardner, RBowling Green, in a Nov. 20 article in The Press, says that a bill co-sponsored by State Representative Teresa Fedor, D-Toledo, to provide universal health insurance for Ohioans has little or no chance of passing in the legislature. He’s right. Republicans don’t care about the common man and they get big contributions from the health insurance industry and drug companies.

Gardner is right that it is too expensive for states to handle.

In other countries, businesses are made to pay their fair share and that includes health insurance.

U.S. companies threaten to move to another state or overseas if you mention taxes.

We must pay for the overseas military bases and wars so our business can profit.

Health care is an issue that protects us all

like the military supposedly does and, thus, should be run by the federal government.

Yes, citizens would pay more in taxes but it would balance out by not having to pay ridiculous health care premiums and co-pays which bankrupt many. Also, many corporations are no longer offering health insurance.

Lake Twp.

EMS billing change is supported

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A proposal by Lake Township Fire Chief Bruce Moritz to end an agreement with a company for billing for Emergency Medical Service transports has been approved by the township trustees.

Moritz recommended terminating the township’s contract with Health Services Integration and enter into an agreement with Great Lakes Billing Associates, Inc., Cleveland.

Moritz said Great Lakes has proposed a service rate of 7 percent of collected funds and transportation rates of $600 for basic life support, $750 for advanced life support level 1 and $850 for advanced life support level 2. There would also be a $14 per mile transport fee.

The township and LifeStar are ending an agreement in which the township provided an emergency vehicle and equipment and LifeStar provided paramedics 24 hours a day.

Moritz said the Great Lakes proposal is less than the current rates charged by LifeStar and under the proposed contract the company will “soft bill” township resi-

dents and only collect insurance money for EMS transports.

“I want to start anew,” Moritz said, adding Great Lakes did a very good job for the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District while he was chief there. He said the company specializes in working with small communities.

The township trustees also agreed to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Attorney General’s office to act on the township’s behalf to collect for non-payments from non-township residents who use EMS transport service.

Lake Township officials plan to have a township-staffed paramedic emergency medical service department operating in the first quarter of 2018.

Township voters on Nov. 7 approved a 1-mill property tax levy that will generate about $230,204 annually for the 24/7 service. A 0.8-mill levy already on the tax duplicate also helps fund the service.

Rail crossings discussed Frustrated with blocked rail crossings, gates and lights malfunctioning and other issues, the trustees agreed to invite a representative from CSX to a future meeting to

Ken Gilsdorf, a trustee and retired CSX employee, said Wednesday he’s extended an invitation via email to Rusty Orben, a Columbus-based vice president of the company, to address the trustees.

“CSX is implementing a transition to a new operating philosophy called Precision Scheduled Railroading, which is intended to optimize the efficiency of every task performed on the railroad as we work to safely deliver freight to customers across our 23-state network,” said Rob Doolittle, Assistant Vice President of Media and Communications for CSX. “As part of that process, CSX is reviewing operations across our network to identify opportunities to operate more efficiently and improve service to customers. Freight volumes fluctuate for a variety of reasons including economic conditions and seasonal volumes. There are times when trains unavoidably block crossings, often while making local deliveries or entering and exiting rail yards, and CSX works to limit the impact of those events. Our objective is to move freight as efficiently as possible through every community on our network, including Lake Township.”

Genoa’s newest hotspot “ignites” hometown community

By Katie Siebenaller Press Staff Writer katiesieb@presspublications.com The opening of Ignite Coffee & Tea Co. in Genoa has been a long time coming for owners Cheryl Routson and Kelley Guthrie.

The two friends had kept the idea of opening a coffee shop brewing on the back burner for about 10 years, but it was one text, sent in October of last year, that sparked action.

From the start, there was one thing they were sure of. “We wanted it to be very community-oriented,” says Routson.

In trying to come up with a name, they searched for a word – specifically a verb – that had the power to spark positive change. “Ignite” fit the bill.

“Our motto is ‘Be the spark that ignites the flame,’” Routson said.

On the shop’s wall, “Ignite,” is surrounded by “kindness,” “peace,” “gratitude” and, of course, “community,” serving as a reminder and inspiration to those who stop in for a beverage, a bite to eat or to meet up with a friend. Ignite is all about serving its community — and was, even before it opened its doors. Routson and Guthrie tested recipes and flavor combinations of potential menu items with friends, family, and other community members.

They narrowed the selections down to a curated menu of coffee drinks, teas, bubble teas, blended crèmes, bagels, sandwiches, pastries and desserts.

The recipe for Ignite’s cupcakes, through careful process, took nearly the entire planning year to perfect. Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Colver, makes the cupcakes in-house. These special treats had to pass rounds of sampling at Routson’s son’s soccer practices, Guthrie’s work, and several local businesses. All their trial-and-error paid off though, as the confections are a customer favorite.

Also featured on Ignite’s menu are a variety of bubble teas, which also went through vigorous community testing to determine favorite flavor combinations. “It was the most fun to take them out into the community,” Routson said.

The entrepreneurs also sought feed-

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) back from potential customers about suggested hours of operation, asking friends and neighbors about their work hours and coffee-buying habits. The drive-thru was a popular suggestion as well offering busy customers a way to have their favorite menu items on the go.

Ignite aims to do more than satisfy the appetite. The shop also includes a selection of unique gift items for purchase. Among them are coffees from Georgette’s Fair Trade Grounds & Gifts, including the Ignite Signature Blend, an exclusive to the shop.

Development of the signature blend benefits more than Ignite and its pa-

trons – creating a new blend of coffee through Georgette’s, a part of Sunshine Communities, helps create jobs for those with developmental disabilities.

“Everything we do here, we’re trying to keep local,” Routson said.

This includes their employees – all 15 live in Genoa or one of its neighboring communities.

“We could not be happier with who we have in our staff,” Routson said, adding that she’s excited to see employees going the extra mile to be welcoming, often recognizing returning customers and even recalling their past orders.

Regular hours are Monday through Friday, 6 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday, 8 a.m.-2 p.m., though Ignite owners are willing to open for afterhours events and provide a safe space for students to congregate after games.

Local artists are encouraged to perform on Ignite’s acoustic nights, and all are welcome to participate in trivia night. The shop also has a conference room that seats up to eight available for use.

Ignite is located at 22060 SR 51, Genoa.

For more details call 419-855-6289 and to keep up with events, follow the shop’s Facebook page.

Holidays in the Manor House Extended to 16 Days All-new decorations, lighted trails and an extra week to see them are reasons to visit this year’s Holidays in the Manor House at Wildwood Preserve Metropark.

The free event sponsored by Metroparks Toledo opens Saturday, Dec. 2 and continues through Sunday, Dec. 17. Hours are 10 a.m.-8 p.m. each day.

Started more than 40 years ago as a volunteer initiative to thank Lucas County residents for voting to preserve the property now known as Wildwood, the annual event has become a holiday tradition in northwest Ohio.

With visitation growing in recent years, reaching nearly 30,000 people, the event is being extended to 16 days.

The process of decorating the 30,000-square-foot mansion begins nearly a year in advance when decorators submit proposals to a committee, which makes the final selections. This year, decorators will incorporate a Metroparks theme into each of the more than 30 displays.

New this year, stroll a lighted path leading from the Metz Visitors Center to the Manor House, explore a fairy garden and enjoy other outdoor decorations.

Visitors are invited to stop at the Welcome Tent to make a s’more over a campfire.

Carriage Rides return this year on the Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during the event. The cost is $6 per person; children under 5 ride free. Reservations are required and may be made at MetroparksToledo.com.

Mitten Tree Guests are invited to bring donations of new hats, scarves and gloves to place on the Mitten Tree in the Manor House. Items collected are donated to local children in need. The Mitten Tree is an annual project of Volunteers In Parks.

From noon-4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3, Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, and Black Swamp Bird Observatory will be transformed into a winter wonderland for the annual Holiday Open House.

The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center will host crafts, refreshments, and local vendors selling conservation-minded holiday gifts.

The Rookery Nature Store will have a 10 percent off sale, and Friends of Ottawa NWR members will receive 20 percent off purchases. Santa Claus, the Grinch, and Puddles the Blue Goose (the refuge system mascot) have cleared their schedules to attend and take photos with kids of all ages.

A volunteer will be reading “The Mitten,” and kids will learn about winter adaptations and hibernation. The refuge will be collecting mittens for the Salvation Army as well.

Bring in a pair of mittens or gloves for a special treat. There is also a chance to win a gift basket.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit the website at friendsofottawanwr.org or call 419-8980014.

Meyer, Bloomer towering — in more ways than one

By J. Patrick Eaken Mark Griffin and Yaneek Smith sports@presspublications.com Eastwood came one game short of the reaching the Division III state final four, losing to Coldwater in three straight sets of the regional final, 25-20, 25-22, 25-14.

It was the Eagles’ first loss of the season, finishing 25-1, but they rode the coattails of NCAA Division commit Katelyn Meyer, a senior outside hitter who established a new school record book.

Meyer repeats as this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year, an award she’ll share with Oak Harbor junior hitter Peyton Bloomer, who re-wrote her own record book at her school.

Both were named POY by their respective leagues, the Northern Buckeye Conference and Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division after leading their teams to titles. Both were also named district POY in districts 6 (Bloomer) and 7 (Meyer).

In addition, both near the six-foot mark when standing on the ground, which isn’t too often when they are playing volleyball.

Instead, these two are reaching even more incredible heights, allowing them to virtually control the net.

Heading into the Coldwater matchup, Meyer led Eastwood in kills (451) and digs (211). It’s not surprising that Meyer has been a part of Eastwood’s last four league championship teams.

“She definitely left her legacy here,” Coach Jeff Beck said, “and she’s going to be hard to replace.”

Meyer has been a dominant force in the NBC for years. She was a second-team all-conference pick as a freshman and was named to the first team three years straight.

The 5-foot-10 Meyer, who is also a standout on the Eagles’ track team, is very good at deflecting attention from herself.

Asked if she has performed up to her expectations this fall, she said, “This season, really, I want the girls to have confidence and I want to keep things positive. I like seeing them succeed and compete.”

Beck will tell you he’s amazed by the fact that Meyer can jump 10 feet, 3 inches — “It’s a rarity when you have any high school girl who touches 10 feet,” he said — but he is also impressed with her bubbly personality and positive energy.

“She’s always happy,” the coach said.

“She’s just a joy to have in the gym. She has respect for everyone, including all opposing players, coaches and adults.”

Beck said people have tried turning Meyer into a mean, intense athlete, but that hasn’t worked. Beck added that Meyer has never been the type to get in a teammate’s face or be critical of anyone.

“That’s never going to happen,” Beck said. “She even feels horrible when she blasts girls in the head (on a kill). She’ll go under the net and ask if they’re OK. We’re like, ‘Kate, you can’t do that!’”

For Oak Harbor, a 24-game winning streak ended when the Rockets fell to Central Catholic, 25-18, 25-11, 19-25, 2515 in a D-II district final at Findlay High School. The school record 24 wins earned coach Jackie Gezo All-Press Coach of the Year honors.

“It’s been so much fun. It’s a great group of girls that had an incredible season.

It’s hard to say goodbye,” said Oak Harbor coach Jackie Gezo. “They represented Oak Harbor well. The seniors, their leadership will be hard to replace — they’ve built

Junior Peyton Bloomer was Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division and District 6 Player of the Year. (Press file photo) some great friendships and made some special memories. It’s a great group of girls.

“It was fun for the girls to play in front of these crowds. The girls loved the atmosphere. It was fun for them and it was fun for the community. It was great to have so much support. People coming out and watching and people in town telling us that we’re having a great year, it’s a great feeling. (Athletic Director) Drew (Grahl) said that our match against Willard was the most people he’d ever seen at a volleyball match.’

Entering their final tournament game, Bloomer finished the season with a teamleading 487 kills on the season and had an impressive kill percentage of 58.3. She also eclipsed the 1,000 kill total this season.

Bloomer also led the way with 88 blocks, she had 835 attacks, a hit percentage of .527, 25 aces, and helped defensively, too, 242 digs. That was the second most digs on the team, and she was an outside hitter.

Gezo said the team is a unique blend of talent and athleticism mixed with the right chemistry, something that made for such a special group.

“The girls work well together — they have great chemistry,” said Gezo. “We have a lot of athletic ability, the kids are versatile (and) they’re coachable.”

Eagles have learned to adjust to playoff pressure

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The pressure usually mounts the deeper a high school football team advances in the playoffs, but don’t tell first-year Eastwood coach Craig Rutherford.

The top-ranked Eagles (14-0), who played third-ranked Wheelersburg (14-0) on Friday in the Division V state championship game at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, have gone about their business pretty much the same way they have all season.

“We’ve prepared for every game the exact same way,” Rutherford said.

“No more or less than we did during the regular season. All I know is this: when we walked off the field on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, one of the guys said, ‘I know we just practiced on Thanksgiving, but it feels like any other Thursday practice.’

“The coaches and the players have gotten into a routine. Practices feel a little bit different because of the playoffs, but we’ve tried to keep the practices similar.”

After cruising through the regular season en route to a Northern Buckeye Conference championship, Eastwood’s 11th trip to the playoffs in school history has been a breeze as well. At least judging by the final scores.

The Eagles had a 7-10 all-time playoff record heading into this year’s postseason, but have since ripped off wins over Swanton (48-0), Otsego (41-14) and Marion Pleasant (35-0) before handing Canfield South Range a 21-7 loss in the state semifinal.

Rutherford, who replaced his father, Jerry, as Eastwood’s head coach at the end of last season, was the Eagles’ starting tight end when Eastwood made the playoffs in 2003 and ‘04. His brother, Eric, was the quarterback on the team that reached the regional finals in 2007. Eric now coaches the Eagles’ running backs and secondary.

“There’s nothing like the playoffs in Ohio,” Craig said. “In 2002, the first year the school made the playoffs, that was a really exciting time. Then to go down to Findlay and play against the nation’s leading passer (Kenton’s Ben Mauk), there were close to 8,000 people at Donnell Stadium. That’s what it felt like. Both sides were packed.”

There is some irony in this postseason. Back in 2007, Eastwood lost to Marion Pleasant in the regional finals and beat Pleasant this season. The Eagles beat Suburban Lakes League rival Genoa at Lake High School in the second round in 2007, and they beat NBC rival Otsego in the second round at Lake this season.

“We kind of drew on that 2007 team’s experience,” Craig said of his assistant coaches. “So many of the coaches on our staff played in playoff games for Eastwood.

I think the (players) understood the excitement we had. When my dad and brother and I would go to the state finals when we were little, it felt so far away from ever being able to get there.

“To have this opportunity is unbelievable, to think back to those times. It’s fun to see the excitement our guys have.”

Many of the players have been able to fall back on their experience to help with this postseason run. Seniors like quarterback Jake Pickerel, defensive back Alex Ross and lineman Dalton Andrews will be making their 37th career start against Wheelersburg. Pickerel was a starting defensive back as a sophomore and has started the past two seasons at quarterback.

“We’re playing our best football,” Craig Rutherford said. “Our practices are as sharp as they’ve ever been.”

Senior linebacker Tyler Schmeltz leads the team in tackles, with 108, followed by seniors Antonio Salinas (87) and Zach Henline (86), who leads Eastwood with 14.5 sacks. Sophomore running back Jaden Rayford has rushed for 2,072 yards and 34 touchdowns on 322 carries. Eastwood averages nearly 317 rushing yards per game and allows just 41.5 yards per game.

Craig Rutherford said the entire community has been behind the Eagles all season.

“They have all been excited,” he said, “from the little kids at the elementary school, when our guys walked through before the regional final game, to see excitement on their faces ... We were in the holiday parade in downtown Pemberville (Sunday) night. We’ve been given a lot of support. I think people enjoy watching our guys play the game.

“That’s one of the best things about high school sports, to give the community something to rally around. We try to represent the school the right way, and I think people recognize that.”

Head coach Allen Drake organized the event. At far left, Northwood assistant coach Jarvis Hines, playing for the Alumni, makes some moves on varsity player Demond Marks. At near left, former varsity head coach and alumnus Matt Donegan drives against Northwood player Donte Dixon.

Ball State goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel (Clay) was named to the 2017 Senior CLASS Award first team for women’s soccer after nationwide balloting.

Stanford midfielder Andi Sullivan won the 2017 Senior CLASS Award, while Heintschel joined Sullivan, DePaul’s Alexa Ben, Duke’s Imani Dorsey and Charlotte’s Martha Thomas on the first team.

The award was selected based on votes by coaches, media members and fans across the country. Heintschel led in fan voting at the time the polls closed.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior Class Award honors the attributes of senior student-athletes in four areas: community, classroom, character and competition. The award program is designed exclusively for college seniors who are utilizing their complete athletic eligibility, remaining committed to their university and pursuing the many rewards a senior season can bring.

Heintschel was selected from nominees across the country as one of 30 initial candidates and was later chosen as one of 10 finalists. An Academic All-America selection last year, Heintschel maintains a 4.0 GPA with a rigorous scholastic load as a chemistry, pre-med major. She was named to the Academic All-District Team this year for the third consecutive season and is once again an Academic All-America candidate.

The Oregon product set Ball State career records with 35 goalkeeper wins and a 0.77 goals against average. Her career GAA ranks third in Mid-American Conference history. Heintschel is a two-time All-MAC First Team choice and captained teams that won three MAC West Division championships and two league regular season titles.

She led the MAC this year in GAA (0.70) and save percentage (.855).

Heintschel has served on Ball State's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee since her freshman year. She has been eager to share her academic knowledge and athletic skill with others in her roles as a teaching assistant on campus, tutor in her hometown and volunteer instructor for soccer camps.

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

Oregon

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

Figuring out his talent helped There’s something to be said for a head coach who stood as the face of the program for more than three decades.

It’s another thing for that coach to pass his coaching title to his son, who both played for and coached under his father.

Jerry Rutherford led the program for 35 years, and now it’s his son Craig’s turn to keep the program rolling.

All Craig, his younger brother, Eric, and the rest of the Eagles’ staff have done this season is guide Eastwood to Friday’s Division V state championship game against Wheelersburg. The two teams, both 14-0, met at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton.

“It’s really exciting,” Jerry Rutherford said. “You want to see your son do well.

When I decided to leave, I wasn’t sure if Craig was interested in the job. I was hoping he would be interested, and I was hoping that by me leaving that would give him an opportunity to go somewhere else or apply at Eastwood.

“I knew whoever got the job, they were going to have a great group of guys to work with. The most important thing to me was the program. I really felt it gave somebody a chance to come in, have success, and develop their philosophies on how they wanted to do things. Hopefully, they would be able to continue the success of Eastwood football. Not just this year, but on down the line.”

The Eagles, the Northern Buckeye Conference champions, have been the topranked D-V team all season. They have outscored their opponents by a 554-117 margin and have a 2,000-yard rusher back in Jaden Rayford, a talented sophomore bulldozer who has gained 2,072 yards on the ground and scored 34 touchdowns.

“There are some good younger guys playing this year and good younger guys in the program,” Jerry said. “Hopefully, the future for Eastwood continues to be bright and we can keep going on the way it has since 2001.”

Jerry, who resigned the second week of January, has been able to relax and enjoy the action this season. He does not, he said, weigh in on the Eagles’ game plan each week. He prefers to stay out of Craig’s way.

“I help set up the end zone camera,” Jerry said. “We talk about football and stuff, but people need to understand that Craig did a lot the past few years. His title was defensive coordinator, but he did a lot.

When I started in 1982, I had coached for one year and it wasn’t real good. He’s been on this staff since 2010 and he was ready to be a head football coach. It was just a matter of him getting an opportunity.”

Craig was a freshman long-snapper for the Eagles the first time they made the state playoffs, in 2002. Eastwood’s 1988 team

Eastwood senior lineman Seth Welch celebrates. (Press photo by Lee Welch/ FamilyPhotoGroup.com) finished 10-0 in Jerry Rutherford’s seventh season as head coach.

“We had some great teams the last part of the 1980s,” he said. “Through the 1990s, we were a .500 team. We knew that (2003) class was coming in, in the 2002 season, and they just got it going and carried it on.”

Eastwood has had just one losing season since 2001, and a lot of that can be attributed to the team’s overall speed year after year. Jerry said his program and then track coach Gary White’s program became used to scratching each other’s backs when it came to the school’s athletes.

“The track program took off at the same time, right around 2000,” Jerry said. “Our guys were the same guys who ran track. We always thought it was important at a school the size of Eastwood for the kids to play multiple sports.

“Back then, the track team got good.

We’ve always had pretty good speed, and that’s kind of when it took off. This (playoff run) has been really great for the players and the coaching staff and the school. I’m excited for Craig and Eric and the rest of the staff. These players mean a lot to me, and it’s great to see them have this success.”

This season marked Eastwood’s 11th trip to the playoffs. The Eagles were 11-10 in the postseason prior to the state title game.

The Defiance College Sports Information Department provided the wrong photo of DC tennis player James DeMeo to The Press in a feature that ran in the November 20 edition. The 5-7 155-pounder broke the school record at the college for wins with 108 during his four-year career. The now-graduated DeMeo went 16-6 playing singles, including a 14-match win streak, and 14-8 in doubles his senior season to cap off his tennis career. (Photo courtesy DC Sports Information)
