Brace for “sticker shock,” farmers told By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com About 75 persons involved in agriculture were warned Wednesday to brace themselves for their property tax bills in 2016. “You’re getting sticker shock today,” Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez, told the growers during a town hall meeting held at the Oregon Municipal Complex to explain changes in the Current Agricultural Use Valuation property tax program. “We don’t want you to get it when you get your January bill.” In 2015, five counties, including Sandusky County, are going through a sexennial reappraisal and 19, including Lucas and Ottawa counties, are undergoing a triennial update of their property valuations. Although data used by the Ohio Department of Taxation in the CAUV formula indicate that farmers in the past two years on average have realized lower prices

We don’t want you to get it when you get your January bill.

Robert James Worthington, a 20-yearold independent in Tuesday’s District 3 city council primary election, says he doesn’t want to be considered a “politician,” but a “public servant.” His idea caught on. Democratic candidate Peter J. Ujvagi, 66, admitted to about 60 guests at a forum Wednesday night he believes all four candidates have similar intentions. “I really do believe that all four of us would be like to be public servants, not politicians,” Ujvagi said. “A few times I’ve paid the price for this, but it’s why I’ve done this all my life. I believe I can still contribute. I believe I have the energy and the passion. We can do this together. No elected official can say, ‘I can solve that for you on my own.’” Worthington, Ujvagi, Republican Ernest D. McCarthy, 73, and independent Glen Cook, 73, all had an opportunity to respond to questions at the forum, which was hosted by the East Toledo Club and One Voice for East Toledo at the East Toledo Senior Center. Press General Manager John Szozda moderated. The top two vote getters in Tuesday’s primary will advance to the general election on November 3. The winner will take the seat held by Mike Craig, who is term-limited. If there was anything else all four agreed on, it was that they are prepared to hold irresponsible absentee landlords accountable. Most of the first half hour was spent answering questions about housing and property issues, like evicted renters leaving furniture in the yard and nobody bothering to pick it up. “Part of the solution is the neighborhood itself,” McCarthy said. “If the neighbors would call, it would help a lot. Part of the problem is that the landlord says, ‘Nobody told us that was there.’ We want to make it a little more oriented toward those landlords — those landlords who are there to collect the rent and do not do much else.” Cook responded, “This absentee landlord thing definitely has to stop. I know this is a difficult thing to stop, but people pick up 40 to 50 homes and then they let them go. It’s just a lack of administration by the city and we can’t renew our neighborhoods if we allow this.” Ujvagi suggested recognizing the good landlords as well as the bad landlords, saying that will provide encouragement

for corn, wheat and soybeans, property taxes for farmland enrolled in CAUV are expected to rise significantly. CAUV values are based on a formula of five factors applied to those grain types: • Crop prices based on a survey by the National Agriculture Statistics Service of grain elevators in Ohio. • Crop yields based on per-acre yield estimates for each soil type. • Cropping patterns based on acreage of corn, beans and wheat.

• Non-land production costs based on farmer surveys by The Ohio State University. • Capitalization rate based on the interest rate for a 15-year fixed rate mortgage at Farm Credit Services, with a portion attributed each to equity and debt. Rick Hoffman, an attorney with Local Government Services, told the crowd the factors are used in a formula to determine the net profit per acre of soil type. That figure is divided by the capitalization rate to determine the final value. The calculation is performed for each of the 3,514 soil types in Ohio. For the second consecutive year, the prices for corn, beans and wheat used in the formula are lower than the prior year. The price for corn that came into the formula for 2014 is $3.65 a bushel, compared to $4.41 for 2013. Soybeans had a drop from $13 to $10.40 and wheat dropped from $6.54 to $5.55. But because the CAUV formula uses a seven-year rolling average, with the highContinued on page 3

Candidates vs. landlords Continued from front page for them to do better. He also blamed city government for “not understanding the neighborhoods.� Almost all the candidates, including Ujvagi, accused city government of listening to developers with “grandiose plans� instead of putting money into fixing neighborhoods. Cook was also critical of city government employees, saying he believes they “are paid well and they take advantage of their position.� He gave an example of a city worker he knows who does his job, but also milks his time on the city’s payroll with little care for what really gets done. He loosely suggested paying government workers at a “piece-rate� on what they actually get done to save taxpayer money, although it was more an analogy than a suggestion. Fix East Toledo’s reputation Worthington said, from the point of view of young people like himself, that East Toledo’s reputation needs to be fixed. District 3 includes the east side as well as the Old South End, where he lives, but he says he’s tired of hearing from the public how bad a place East Toledo is. Since he’s been campaigning, he’s found a completely different experience on the east side. Many of his proposed solutions involve neighborhood residents volunteering to make the community a better place and not relying on city government, bad neighbors who make good criminals, or bad landlords. “The motto in Toledo is ‘You can do better in Toledo,’ but no one is going to come to Toledo if it looks terrible. If the community doesn’t respond, we’re going to end up like our nickname, ‘Little Detroit,’ and its going to be done there. We have to get people inspired to want to clean up,� Worthington said. Many of the housing questions were in response to a demographic fact pointed out by moderator Szozda — that the average home property value in Toledo’s similar neighborhoods has gone from $46,000 ten years ago to $16,000 now. Ujvagi blamed the banks for starting that crisis. “The reality is the banks were sure hap-

py to take our down payment then, and we don’t know how many of you have homes that were taken away by predatory lenders,� Ujvagi said. “Then, you had fast foreclosures by those predatory lenders, and then the low-priced investors, who I call ‘bottomfeeders,’ came in and bought up the homes.� Cook blamed the crisis on migration into East Toledo by transients who care little for the neighborhood. He noted the Hungarian immigrants who settled much of the Birmingham neighborhood, but few remain, while other Toledo neighborhoods are able to hold on to their traditional demographic. He did credit the Hungarian community who live outside Birmingham for continuing to come back and support the neighborhood. “These changes in migration are inevitable and it’s interesting when you see that happen,� Cook said. “But for some neighborhoods they remain the same, and you wonder what the problem is?� Ujvagi, a Hungarian immigrant, responded, “A very important thing about East Toledo is you may leave East Toledo but you are never out of East Toledo. There are many people whose hearts are still here because people still come back to celebrate, to go to church,� adding that housing and crime issues are rooted in economics and lack of job opportunities. Ujvagi argued that it’s still immigrants who bring business to the Main-Front Street corridor, just like it was decades ago. “Twenty-six percent of Main Street businesses are established by immigrants, and if you can remember your parents and grandparents, they are just like them. They work hard and we need to help them and recognize them and the city has to declare that they are open for business to help small business,� Ujvagi said. There were a lot of unique ideas, too. McCarthy is looking for an entrepreneur who is willing to start a business recycling wood from torn down houses. “There’s something about a lot of these homes — I’m a ‘wood’ person. A lot of these homes have a lot more ‘gold’ in them than you can imagine,� McCarthy continued, adding that he believes someone could take that wood and recycle it into repairing other homes.

Sticker shock

Martin Luther’s 125th

Continued from front page est and lowest prices during the seven years thrown out of the formula, growers won’t realize a lower property valuation in the next two years or so. Instead, they’ll be paying higher taxes in 2016 even though crop prices have fallen the past two years. Hoffman said the seven-year average is an attempt to “smooth out the spikes and dips.” In response to a question from a farmer about land that was too flooded to plant, he said the CAUV doesn’t provide any relief. Lopez said state law prevents her office from providing valuation relief to owners of farmland unlike residential and industrial properties. Appraisers from her office also attended the session to provide more detailed information about individual parcels. Bill Myers, an Oregon grower and member of the Lucas County Farm Bureau, said the state taxation department has been receptive to Farm Bureau recommendations to adjust the schedule of when CAUV values are calculated so that lower crop prices and potentially higher costs are entered into the formula more quickly. Joe Puperi, a forester with the Ohio Division of Forestry, said land owners with wooded acreage may want to consider Ohio Forest Tax Law as an alternative to CAUV. Lopez’s office has held three sessions to discuss the CAUV program. The final session is set for Sept. 16 in Springfield Township. In a paper published in April, Larry Gearhardt, assistant professor and field specialist, taxation at the Ohio State University, wrote that farmland taxes could double. “But if CAUV landowners can swallow the bitter pill of paying higher property taxes through 2015, while receiving lower crop prices, the CAUV formula will work to decrease property taxes to more accurately reflect the farm economy,” he wrote.

Martin Luther Church, an ELCA affiliate at 601 Nevada St. in East Toledo, is celebrating its 125th anniversary Sunday, Sept. 20. Martin Luther was started in 1890 by a group of parishioners that attended the nearby St. Mark, but wanted to offer Sunday School in English rather than their native German. The church is led today by Pastor Larry Michaels, an expert on East Toledo history. “This church is really a hidden gem in East Toledo, with the stained glass windows and craftsmanship of its time,” Pastor Michaels said. To mark the occasion, the church has reached out to families that have lost touch with the church over the years. “While small, our congregation has taken great care of the church and physical building, even investing in new boilers this year, and our membership has remained strong,” Pastor Michaels said. The anniversary will be celebrated at the 10:30 a.m. worship service on Sunday the 20th, followed by fellowship with cake and coffee.

Upgrading septic sysytems

Help for low-income residents By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Sandusky County is among the counties to receive a loan this year from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for upgrading home septic systems. The county has been awarded a $150,000 loan by the EPA as part of a repair/replacement project of the Ohio Department of Health for 2015. The initiative is aimed at improving the quality of life for low-income residents and reducing bacteria run-off in the western Lake Erie basin. According to program guidelines, the principal on the loan to the county health department is automatically forgiven. Consequently, nothing must be repaid to the state. Eligible Sandusky County homeowners will receive either 100 percent, 85 percent or 50 percent forgiveness of principal toward the cost of repairing or replacing failing home septic systems. Factors determining the percentages of forgiveness include the number of people living in the household and what level the

household income is compared to the federal poverty guidelines. Although the funds do not have to be repaid, any portion of the repair or replacement cost not covered by the state loan will be the responsibility of the homeowner. The Ohio Department of Health has estimated about 1 million homes statewide are using home sewage treatment systems as their means of treatment and about 25 percent of those systems are failing and another 13 percent are likely to fail within five years. In 2009, the Ohio EPA made $5 million available in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to repair and replace failing home systems. About 455 systems were repaired or replaced. The 2015 program is a partnership between the Ohio EPA and Health Department that includes a component focusing on reducing harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie and other state waterways. Four watersheds have been targeted: Sandusky River – Rock Creek; Auglaize River – Flatrock Creek; Swan Creek – Bad Creek and South Turkeyfoot Creek.

Three persons have been charged with drug offenses after Lake Township Police on Sept. 6 stopped an apparent mobile methamphetamine laboratory. Angela E. Gelhar, 40, Waukegan, Ill., the driver of the vehicle, Jeffrey M. Miller, 44, also of Waukegan, and Terry L. Ellenberger, 45, of Williston, North Dakota, were each charged with possession of methamphetamine and illegal manufacture of methamphetamine – fifth and second degree felonies respectively. After making contact with the vehicle, a tractor-trailer, police determined there was probable cause an illegal substance was in the truck and the department’s K-9 unit was brought in. The three suspects were transported to the Wood County Justice Center and held without bond.

Crash cause unknown As of Thursday, investigators were unsure what caused a motorist to cross the center line of SR 579 and collide with an on-coming tractor trailer. The fatal accident occurred about 9:00 a.m. on Sept. 8. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a 2008 Saturn Aura, driven by Robert Wooten, 73, Toledo, was westbound on Route 579 when it crossed the center line and struck a Peterbilt truck driven by Philip Huffman, 70, Addison, Michigan. Wooten and Carol Wooten, 72, also of Toledo, were pronounced dead at the scene. Huffman was not injured.

St. Kateri Schools clearing property for athletic fields By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com

Where once there were 2,000 trees, this is what remains on the former Tschann Property, now owned by St. Kateri Catholic Schools. St. Kateri says it is planning a baseball field, softball field, and practice fields. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

environment,” Bedra said. “For them to just come in and knock out 95 percent, in my opinion, is premature and irresponsible. Also, I question their budgetary decision to put in athletic fields back here. I just don’t understand if they want to do something for children, let them put their resources into education rather than an athletic field.”

It looks like a bomb hit back there.

George Tschann’s creation Carrie Tschann and her husband, the late George Tschann, in 2011 donated the land to St. Kateri Catholic Academy and Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School. The property was lined with 2,000 trees, mostly gum, oak, and maple, all planted by George Tschann, who was 92-years-old and in ill health, but attended the St. Kateri dedication ceremony in October, 2011. “I saw these trees grow since they were planted,” Bedra said. “My conversation with Father Eric is that they were dead trees or half dead trees and that is so far from being accurate. I’m sure there were some problem trees or some growing too close, but I looked at this forest every day. When Mr. Tschann was alive, he gave me permission to walk the grounds.”

Carrie Tschann said that the donation to St. Kateri stipulated that the school could not donate or sell the land while George remained alive. George passed away in March 2012. At the dedication ceremony, Fr. Schild said there were easements already in place for creating access points to the property. He said then that the school was considering using the property for athletic fields, but added that school leaders remained open-minded and were looking for potential partners. Prior to the donation, the City of Oregon had made an effort to turn the property into parkland. In 1999, then-Mayor James Haley

St. Kateri Schools has begun clearing trees in the former 15-acre Tschann property with the ultimate goal of constructing athletic fields. Ryan Hehr, Assistant Vice President of Advancement at St. Kateri, says the Catholic school system shared its master plan with the community and sent a letter to homeowners whose property borders the land. The master plan includes building a softball diamond, baseball diamond and practice fields, The letter to residents, mailed before work began July 1, also addressed the schools’ plans to survey and landscape the property and clear trees over the summer. “We are currently evaluating our master plan and our next step is to plant grass when timing and resources allow for it. The goal in cutting down the trees is to be able to maintain the land better in order to be good neighbors,” Hehr wrote in an email to The Press. “The volume of trees made it hard to mow and many of the trees were half dead. We will also keep them informed if anything changes from the original master plan.” Fr. Eric Schild, St. Kateri president, said in his letter to adjacent residents that the school system expected to remove about half the trees from interior portions of the property. The letter says exterior trees closest to neighboring properties will not be removed. At least one adjacent resident is not pleased. Several have called The Press but declined to go on the record. Jim Bedra, 1105 South Coy, has lived next to the property for 26 years and he has been watching the trees come down. He questions St. Kateri’s claims that half of the trees are being cut. “If you came out with a camera, you would find that 95 percent of the trees have been removed. It looks like a bomb hit back there. It has cleared out, there is a slight perimeter, but my best guess would be 90 to 95 percent of the trees,” Bedra said. “Number one, the destruction of these trees is premature to their plan. They are putting the cart before the horse. In my opinion, they just pushed this down their neighbor’s throats. Yes, they did send out a flier saying there was going to be some tree removal and that there was going to be a perimeter, but for them to say they removed 50 percent of the trees, pictures will bear otherwise.” Bedra also questions the property’s use by St. Kateri and the impact on the environment. “In my opinion, this is a smack at the

authorized the purchase of the property, which had been appraised at $83,000. In 2002, it was reappraised at $150,000. In 2005, George Tschann, the original owner of the former Oregon Lanes bowling center on Navarre Avenue, rejected the city’s offer to purchase the land. In April 2009, the city offered $195,000, which Tschann accepted and was approved by a 4-3 vote of council. Within two weeks, the city rescinded the ordinance by a 5-2 vote. Residents had complained about spending money for parkland during a down economy and two councilmen changed their vote. Since the city never bought the property, Carrie said they continued to try and sell the property, but they failed to find a suitable buyer. State Rep. Michael P. Sheehy, in 2011 a councilman, estimated the property is surrounded by 85 percent of Oregon’s residents. However, Sheehy, a Stritch graduate, praised the donation to St. Kateri during the dedication ceremony. The letter from St. Kateri says questions should be directed to Karen Weber, director of operations, at 419-693-0465, ext. 205.

Solar energy, brownfields make good partnership By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Ohioans spend about 12 percent of their per capita income on energy, and 35 percent of that is spent on gasoline. According to Dr. Eric Romich, Ohio State University professor and extension field specialist, each of us spends an average of $4,269 each year in energy consumption. Ohio is typically ranked fifth or sixth nationally in energy consumption. Dr. Romich spoke to journalists at the Sixth Annual Lake Erie Workshop for Science and Outdoor Writers and Reporters, held at Gibraltar Island, home of Ohio State University’s Stone Lab and Ohio Sea Grant. In turn, the United States uses 18 percent of the world’s energy consumption. The 2011 International Energy Outlook Report estimates world energy consumption will be 770 quadrillion BTU in 2035. Dr. Romich says for a planet expected to see its population explode from seven billion to nine billion in the next generation, the issue will be continuing to provide energy, especially with third world countries developing, without further harming the environment. Costs are increasing, too. In 1990, the average cost for a kilowatt hour of electricity was 5.8 cents, and it reached nearly 10 cents per hour in 2014 for residential, 12 cents per hour for commercial customers. Meanwhile, Dr. Romich says there has been a five-fold increase in new electricity transmission capacity. One of the problems with keeping up with demand is that power generation facilities are aging. Dr. Romich said greater than 60 percent of facilities currently in operation are over 30 years old, which means they are on a downward cycle. Ohio has 14 generators on planned retirement, 12 of them set to retire this year. So, what’s the big deal? Then, there is the back end of all of this — emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Ohio is also typically ranked fifth or sixth nationally in carbon dioxide emissions, but one thing setting emissions aside is a switch to natural gas. In 2010, 82 percent of electricity was generated by coal, most of the rest by natural gas, and this year coal generates just 70 percent of consumable electrical energy. However, the issue remains emissions and climate change, and Dr. Romich says three major climate trends are relevant to the energy sector. • Increasing air and water temperatures. • Decreasing water availability in some regions and seasons. • Increasing intensity and frequency of storm events, flooding and sea level rise.

Fifty photovoltaic solar panels, producing about 12 kilowatts, were installed on Gibraltar Island, providing 10 to 25 percent of the lab’s electricity needs and providing a tool for Ohio State University researchers. (Press photo by J. Patrick Eaken)

Lake Erie

Solutions “When people hear about climate change, many don’t really know how it will affect different aspects at home — Ohio’s agriculture, plants and animals, Lake Erie,” said Dr. Brent Sohngen, professor in Ohio State’s Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics. Ohio State University’s Climate Change Outreach Team has studied its impact on Ohio and the Great Lakes region since 2006, and initial feedback was heard during two teacher workshops held in Bay Village and Oregon in the summer of 2012. At those workshops, 27 classroom teachers and informal educators were able to testdrive activities before publication of webinars, which are available at go.osu.edu/ climatelessons. So, what is Ohio doing about it? The answer remains renewable energy, Dr. Romich says, and Ohio is one of 29 states with renewable energy mandates. Passed in 2008, its goal was to achieve renewable energy consumption to 12.5 percent by 2026, but new legislation has put a freeze on incentives, and growth of the renewable energy industry in this state has been slowing

down. Dr. Romich says the new state legislation has taken away or frozen incentives on wind and solar energy facility installation, but he is aware of wind projects that are still seeking permitting. The difference is that the payback for solar and wind farms takes longer without the incentives in place. What type of renewable energy is taking the marketplace? Solar, Dr. Romich says, accounts for 95 percent of all certified renewable facilities. Over 1,700 such facilities have been installed in Ohio, according to certification, but Dr. Romich says there could be more. What type of land is best for solar panel development? Brownfields, Dr. Romich says. The U.S. EPA brownfield program provides technical assistance and support for developers who want to turn old factory locations and former landfills into green energy facilities. At Stone Lab, Ohio Seas Grant is implementing green energy and water-saving measures on Gibraltar and South Bass Islands. In addition to reducing energy consumption and associated costs for their facilities, Dr. Romich says these green technology facilities create opportunities for research, education, and outreach programs at Stone Lab.

Obituary Michael K. Asman Michael K. Asman, 65, of Martin, Ohio passed away peacefully in his home on Wednesday, August 19, 2015. Mike was born in Toledo, Ohio on February 24, 1950 to Elmer and Dorothy (Hitchens) Asman. Mike was the owner of Mike Asman Masonry since 1980 and the company is currently run by his two sons, Eric and Curt Asman. The business was originally started by his father in law, Howard H. Fleitz, back in 1973 and they were the best of friends. Mike was like a son to Howard. Mike will always be remembered for his ability to make each and every person feel special, his acts of kindness, and his sense of humor and love of telling a good joke. He made friends wherever he went. When Mike graduated from high school he earned his pilot's license. For many years he flew an ultra light right out of his backyard with all his good buddies. Now he soars with God. Surviving are his wife of 43 years, Karen; children, Eric (Heather), Curtis (Alice), Kristen (Grant) Sharpe; grandchildren, Curtis Asman, Jr., Joellie, Brayden, Taylor, Ty Howard Asman; Braelyn, Sayla Grace and Alexis Sharpe; brother, Denny (Peggy) Asman; sister, Robin (Gary) Smith. Mike was preceded in death by his parents and infant grandson, Kellen Lucas Sharpe. The Sharpe and Asman families, in-laws and out-laws, would like to offer heartfelt thanks to all of those who said a prayer, shed a tear, held our hand, gave us a hug or kiss, sent flowers, shared a memory, called, kept in touch, sent a card, visited with us at the Millbury Chapel or who attended Mike’s funeral at Calvary Lutheran Church. Thanks to those who came from so far away to celebrate Mike's life; those who contributed money in his memory for the American SIDS Institute in memory of our little Kellen Lucas Sharpe who would have been four this month, or Hospice of NW Ohio who led us through those last, trying days. Thanks also to those who delivered food for the family to eat. What did I miss? We can never forget your kindness and generosity. Seeing all of you reminded us what a wonderful guy he was and he'll be sorely missed. I personally owe a great deal of thanks to my quilting friends who have touched my life and my Monday night group for bringing serenity to my life. Without you, I don't know where I would be. Thanks to the roofers who waved at us as the funeral procession proceeded to Calvary Lutheran Church. Special thanks to Pastor Bob Nolan for offering such a commemorative tribute to Mike. You hit the nail on the head. And thanks to Molnar's Country Catering for the wonderful meal they prepared for our family and friends. Words can't express the gratitude we feel. Recently I read something that brought Mike to mind instantly: "Write your name on hearts, not headstones. Write your epitaph on the lives of those you influence and it will be eternal." God Bless You!

Sense of community as well as great cuts at Da Shop By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

“

People come here to hangout, get their hair cut, get a shave, and sometimes we order food and gossip.

“

For Jamal Grant, owning a barbershop was not even on his “to do� list in his younger years. After spending his youth in East Toledo getting into trouble, Grant found himself at a crossroads in his life. “I like to tell my story,� Grant said. “I ended up doing seven years at North Central Correctional Institution in Marion, Ohio for drugs. I used that time to turn my life around. I got my barber’s license while I was there and I decided to live the right life.� That is when fate stepped in and Grant was offered the opportunity of a lifetime. Ray St. John, who owned the building at 422 East Broadway, was looking for someone to purchase the place and keep it as a barbershop. It was a promise to Omer Holman, the former owner of the barbershop, St. John was determined to keep. “Omer approached me in 2007 about buying the barbershop,� St. John said. “I told him at that time that I could not guarantee it would remain a barbershop. Omer sold it to another man on land contract who said he was going to keep it a barbershop. Two years later, the building was up for sale and I ended up buying it.� That is when he met Grant, and the rest is history. “I met Jamal and he said he wanted to rent the shop,� St. John said. “I gave him the keys right then and there. He ended up buying the building on land contract and has turned the place around.� Now known as Da Shop, the place has expanded from a two-chair to a six-chair shop. It is a place St. John said he is very happy to see expand and thrive in the community. “I know he is very busy,� St. John said. “He does a good business and he gives back to the community.� St. John and Grant both credit God for bringing them together. St. John lauds Grant for bringing a much-needed service to the neighborhood and turning around the once-dilapidated building. “An African American barbershop was

Barbershop owner, Jamal Grant, gives a trim to Mike Johnson at "Da Shop." (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) needed in this community and people come from all over to go there,� he said. “It is a real home to people. It is kind of like the movie ‘The Barbershop.’ He has big screen televisions. He has had cookouts there. He just gave kids book bags and supplies for school. He is a great businessman and I am so proud of him. He put up a pole recently. There has not been one there in ages.� Grant gives credit to the East Toledo neighborhood and St. John for helping him thrive.

“I have been so blessed by this community,� Grant said. “The East Side has supported me and allowed me to provide for my family as well as the people who work here to provide for their families.� Da Shop is a self-proclaimed “man cave,� attracting customers from all over the area. Grant has cut the hair of Eric Ebron Sr., father of Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron, as well as DeRay Davis, the comedian who played Rayford in the movie “The Barbershop.�

Da Shop is also popular with the Waite High School football team and coaches. “We have a diverse customer base, from kids to older gentlemen,� he said. “People come here to hangout, get their hair cut, get a shave and sometimes we order food and gossip. It is just a comfortable, family atmosphere. We gossip, have fun and there is a lot of laughter. People come here to relieve stress and have a good time while getting their hair cut.� Grant has also started an organization called “Team Da Shop� which tries to help empower the kids in the neighborhood. “We try to give back to the youth,� Grant said. “When I was locked up I knew kids needed a role model. I came from a broken home and I just wanted to give back. I tell them my story and try to keep them out of trouble. We try to help stop bullying. We have also had Easter parties where we gave food and candy to families, we have had teen parties, and we gave 20 book bags with supplies to kids who really needed them. I love the East Side and want to bring it back to where it used to be.� Da Shop is located at 422 East Broadway. Hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday hours are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Da Shop takes appointments and is also open to walk-ins. Call 419-593-0078 for information.

Honoring sacrifice To the editor: As we all know, the events of Sept.11, 2001 changed our world and as we mark the 14th anniversary of that tragic day, the Village of Gibsonburg as well as many others continue to be fully immersed in the process of creating a special memorial, the Public Safety Service Memorial, that will serve to not only remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001, but to also honor those public safety service personnel (fire, law enforcement and EMS) who give and have given in order to make their communities better places in which to live for everyone. The Public Safety Service Memorial is about honor – honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on Sept. 11, 2001 and honoring those who continue to face challenges head on daily. The Public Safety Service Memorial is about remembering – remembering a tragic day in history and making sure that this day doesn’t become relegated to text books or television. During the past few months, the question of “why Gibsonburg?” has been asked a number of times. The answer to that question has really been quite simple: “why not Gibsonburg?” Gibsonburg had a vision that was turned into a working plan and that plan has been put into action. If you visit the site of the memorial in Williams Park, you will see concrete and steel. You will see that vision that has been made into a plan of action. More importantly than any questions of “why?” is that while the Public Safety Service Memorial will call Williams Park in Gibsonburg “home,” the intent is to honor all of those from everywhere. We believe that we are creating something very meaningful and very special. We believe that we are creating something that we all can be very proud of. As many know, the focal point of the

Public Safety Service Memorial will be a 36-foot long, 7,000 pound section of the main antenna mast that was atop the North Tower of the World Trade Center prior to the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. This artifact was retrieved from New York City on June 10 of this year and brought to Gibsonburg. On June 12, the “opening ceremony” was held in Williams Park and prior to this event, the artifact was escorted across Sandusky County in a procession that included law enforcement, fire and EMS from every agency in our county. This procession along Route 20 was viewed by thousands as it traveled through Bellevue, Clyde, Fremont, Woodville and finally to Gibsonburg. Along the way you could see the pride and reverence that people had in what was happening before them. If you are a resident of Sandusky County, it would be safe to say that for the first time in a very long time, Sandusky County came together as one to remember and honor. As we look to the completion and official dedication of the Public Safety Service Memorial on Sept. 11, 2016, we are inviting individuals, organizations and businesses to join with us in the completion of the historic project. To find out how to become involved, please contact the Village of Gibsonburg Administrative Offices at 419637-2634 or village-admin@frontier.com. All individuals, organizations and businesses joining with us by May 31, 2016 will have their names engraved on plaques that will be permanently attached to memorial. Together we are creating something special; something that we all can be proud of and something that will last for generations to honor and remember.

Something physical that can teach our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren far more than any textbook or television show ever can. Marc Glotzbecker Administrator Village of Gibsonburg

A fun place? To the editor: Reading a previous letter in The Press about Pearson Metropark, I find it completely wrong. The writer forgets when, during the winter, a lot of kids and adults were ice skating on the pond with a fire in the cabin, or roller skating or having picnics on a blanket in the well-kept grass areas. Also, two-way traffic through the park; dances at the pavilion in the evening and parking with your girlfriend in the parking lots – sometimes it was so crowded you could not find a place, or just driving through to see who was there. It was a fun place. Now the grass has been let go like the East Side neighborhoods. Drive through – hardly anyone there anymore. Jerry Thompson Oregon

Exceptional service To the editor: I am very favorably impressed with the exceptional service of my Oregon Water Department. Recently they called me to say my next water bill was unusually high compared to my regular usage and offered to have it checked for a possible leak. An investigator came very soon after that call and could not find a leak. I theorized it might be because I had been watering my little garden fairly frequently as I am passionate about keeping

flowers and bushes in good health, and in spite of our more frequent rainfall this summer, the soil seemed to dry out quickly. Today when I called to thank the staff for their concern, I was told they were sending a meter checker out this week to re-check my meter. How about that for “going the extra mile?” As a senior of almost 90 years and a WW II veteran, I can use all the help I can get, financially and in other areas. I applaud this local government branch for its attention to water usage and following up on my bill with such diligence. Thank you, staff of O.W.D. Josephine Dresser Oregon

A fantastic tribute To the editor: On Sunday, Sept. 6, the Elmore Fireworks Committee did an outstanding job in honoring the memory of Pete Willett. Food, music and the awesome display of fireworks were truly an honor for a man who meant so much to people of Elmore and the surrounding area. There were fireworks that were different than any seen before, as well as the familiar fireworks display. The ground firework displays were spectacular as well as the high ones all in memory of Pete Willett. A big thank you goes out to each volunteer who planned and worked to make Sunday evening a special event in memory of a special man. Also a thank you goes out to each one who donated toward the fireworks and participated in the event. To keep the Labor Day activity going the Fireworks Committee is always willing to accept a donation toward the 2016 Labor Day activity. Elmore is a caring community and each person living there is special. Betty Marlow Miller Elmore

How you see yourself determines your future and accomplishments The way you see yourself either imposes limits or prepares you for outstanding accomplishments. How you see yourself programs your mind. Your brain will not permit you to reach a goal which conflicts with your self-image. A student’s academic performance is a great illustration of this concept. A student who sees himself as a ‘C’ student will not get grades higher than ‘C’. The same scenario holds true for ‘D’ and ‘B’ students as well. Only a student who sees himself as an ‘A’ student will get ‘A’ grades. How you see yourself affects every area of your life; career, finances, romance, happiness, success, etc. Your brain performs based on the picture you have of yourself. Often, the image you have is subconscious. You are not aware of the limitations you have self-imposed. How you see yourself is a process which began when you were an infant. Your parents had an enormous impact. How they treated you and what they told you were powerful influences. Did they support and encourage you, or were you criticized? Input from your siblings, relatives, and friends also shape how you see yourself. Your own experiences affect how you see yourself. Are you successful in your endeavors, or do you constantly face obstacles, problems, and failure? The later feeds fear, doubt, and insecurity. When negative past experiences determine how you see

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden yourself, your past becomes a limitation on your future. Regardless of the basis for how you see yourself, you have the ability to change the image you carry with you. If any of the following negative descriptions are a part of how you see yourself, it is time for a change. Stupid, lazy, not capable, poor, ignorant, unlucky, unhappy, undesirable, frustrated, etc. are all self-identifiers which are holding you back. The past is over. The criticisms you have received don’t matter anymore. Whatever other people have thought of you is irrelevant. The only significant issue is how you would like to see yourself from this point forward. You can achieve a new and improved vision. You must first change the way you see yourself before your life will change. “I will feel better about myself as soon as my life improves,” is a common misconception. Looking back at the student example above, a ‘C’ student will never become an ‘A’ student until they see them self as an ‘A’

student. If the ‘C’ student is waiting to get an ‘A’ before changing the way he sees himself, he will be waiting a very long time. Changing the way you see yourself is not easy. Your self-image has been formed over time and is now well embedded in your mind. Making changes will be uncomfortable. When trying to make improvements, you will be battling thoughts of, “But that’s not who I am.” Instead, say to yourself, “That’s not who I want to be anymore!” Imagine the image of how you currently see yourself to be a stone sculpture. You will be able to alter its appearance by consistently chipping away at it. It won’t happen overnight. But it will happen with hard work and determination. Constantly monitor the way you see yourself. You will subconsciously drift to your old image.

In that particular country (Japan), the problem really is one of market access. They don’t want any American parts in those cars because they want to control the aftermarket…That’s why there’s such a huge imbalance.” Later in the month, Rep. Kaptur continued her opposition to President Ronald Reagan’s lifting of the voluntary auto import restrictions.

Conversation with Elon Musk an unforgettable experience Guest Editorial

I was so clueless that I’d asked the Thomas Edison of our time what he did for a living.

By John Kiriakou About five years ago, a close friend of mine and I had an idea for a television news program. As luck would have it, my friend had gone to high school with a guy who, at the time, just happened to be the president of NBC. We arranged to have drinks at a fancy hotel bar in Washington, just the three of us, to talk about the idea. That day, Mr. NBC called to say he was bringing a friend along. No problem, I said. The more the merrier. When the four of us sat down together and ordered beers, I turned to the tag-along. “I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t catch your name.” “Elon,” he said. I answered: “Nice to meet you. What do you do for a living, Elon?” He lit up like a Christmas tree. “I have a passion for technology,” he said, his hands gesticulating wildly. “I created this company. Maybe you heard of it? It’s called Paypal. And I sold it for, like, a billion dollars. Then I took the money and created another company called Tesla.” “Oh my God,” I interrupted. “Are you Elon Musk?” He was. I was so clueless that I’d asked the Thomas Edison of our time what he did for a living. Of course I knew who Elon Musk was. He was the guy who created Paypal. He was the genius behind the electric carmaker Tesla and its long-life battery, which is on the road to disrupting the entire auto industry. He was the visionary behind SpaceX and the 600 mph “hyperloop” service that

he says will whisk passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 35 minutes by 2025. Musk did most of the talking that night. He talked about entrepreneurship, he talked about technology, and he talked about alternative energy sources, including wind and solar energy. I agreed with most of what I heard, although I think he’s dead wrong about nuclear power being a “clean” fuel. Musk said several other things that I can’t forget. First, he said that the United States is falling behind other industrialized countries because we neglect our infrastructure. Building and repairing roads, bridges, and hospitals shouldn’t be controversial or po-

litical. It ought to be something we all agree we need. This country should have the best roads, bridges, and hospitals in the world. And we don’t. Second, he said that our universities should be incubators to the greatest cuttingedge technologies in the world. But colleges and universities have become so expensive that many potential students just can’t afford higher education. As a result, we’re denying ourselves some of the best minds the country has to offer. And third, he said that the United States is behind the curve — and the rest of the Western world — when it comes to tapping the full potential of solar and wind power. We’ve made a lot of headway since that chance meeting I had five years ago. But if you look at how much renewable energy we’re generating on a per capita basis, it could take us years to catch up to the Germans or the Scandinavians. E v e n the Greeks are ahead of us on solar power. I listened, enthralled. I should have gone home, logged onto my brokerage account, and bought as many shares of Tesla as I could afford. I didn’t, though. My loss. My friend and I never pitched our TV news show either. But we got a first-hand lesson in entrepreneurship from the man who’s arguably the country’s greatest living entrepreneur. When it comes to our infrastructure, student debt, and alternative energy, our politicians could stand to get a lesson, too. OtherWords columnist John Kiriakou is an

The

Counseling Corner How to be there when a friend needs help From the American Counseling Association Our relatives are important to most of us, despite the fact that they’re people we’re sort of stuck with as a side-effect of being born into a particular family. But friendships can be just as important, or even more important, because our friends are people we’ve chosen to have a relationship with. Friends are people we value, care about and with whom we want to feel close. All of that is why it can be very upsetting when we observe something troubling about a friend. It can be a struggle trying to decide whether to confront our friend directly or to avoid the issue in case we’re wrong and might damage the friendship. But the bottom line is you do want to help if this is someone you truly care about. It’s therefore important to find ways to discuss the potential problem while minimizing the chances of ruining the friendship. A starting point to make this happen is to meet privately and make clear this is a conversation just between the two of you. Begin by describing objectively the behavior that concerns you. Don’t be judgmental or try to interpret what you’ve seen. Stick to facts and observations, rather than your personal opinions. Say “You seem easily upset recently,” rather than a judgmental statement such as, “It bugs me how crabby you’ve been lately!” Keep your description positive, rather than negative and accusatory. Objectively state the facts in a manner that other friends would agree to if asked their opinions. The next part is to give your friend a chance to agree with or explain what you’ve observed. Make it an opportunity to discuss the issue. Saying, “You seem unhappy recently. Is anything wrong?” opens the door for discussion without positioning you as an authority who will make everything right. You may find that what you’ve reported is something your friend is unaware of, or that he or she has an explanation that eliminates your concerns. If this “one-two” approach does have your friend verifying your concerns, you may find that simply talking things out may help fix the issue. Or there may be a bigger problem that requires professional help. The key, however, is not to be confrontational. Give your friend encouragement and support, and be ready to assist in finding the needed help. With a positive approach you’ll help your friend and continue a strong friendship.

Volunteers ‘get real for teal’ for cancer By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com Drivers along stretches of Woodville and other roads throughout the region may have noticed teal ribbons tied prominently on utility poles and teal ribbon decals displayed in business windows. In observance of National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, Ovarian Cancer Connection (OCC) has led an effort to turn several area towns teal to create awareness of the disease, which ranks fifth as the cause of cancer deaths in women. In the early days of September, a small army of dedicated volunteers tied the teal ribbons primarily in town centers and provided local businesses with a large teal ribbon placard and information about ovarian cancer to place in their windows. Raising awareness about ovarian cancer is critical because symptoms are often subtle, according to OCC founder and president Gini Steinke. “Because ovarian cancer is often referred to as the ‘silent cancer’ and because there is no early detection test for ovarian cancer, we need women and men to be aware of the symptoms,” she said. According to the American Cancer Society, the most common symptoms of ovarian cancer include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain; trouble eating or feeling full quickly and urinary symptoms such as urgency (always feeling like you have to go) or frequency (having to go often). These symptoms are also commonly caused by benign (non-cancerous) diseases and by cancers of other organs. Additional symptoms may include fatigue, upset stomach, back pain, pain during sex, constipation, menstrual changes and abdominal swelling with weight loss. When symptoms are caused by ovarian cancer, they tend to be persistent and represent a change from normal − for example, they occur more often or are more severe. If a woman has these symptoms more than 12 times a month, she should see her doc-

The team is named in honor of Mary Lou Davis, of Millbury, who lost her battle with the disease two years ago. (Submitted photo) tor, preferably a gynecologist, the American Cancer Society suggests. “If ovarian cancer is detected in the early stages, the survival rate is 90 to 95 percent, which is why this awareness campaign is so very, very critical,” Steinke said. On Saturday, Sept 19, the Ovarian Cancer Connection is hosting the 11th Annual Ellen Jackson Ovarian Cancer Walk presented by Buckeye CableSystem on the campus of the University of Toledo Medical Center off Glendale Avenue, Toledo. Area residents are invited to show support for women fighting ovarian cancer in our community by registering online at www.ovarianconnection.org or call 419866-6622 to request a registration form. All proceeds raised will stay here in our community for education, awareness and support. The website also includes more information about the OCC, a 501(c)(3) not-forprofit organization located at 5577 Airport

Highway, Toledo. Log on to learn more about risks and symptoms of ovarian cancer, to share a story or to learn about how to get involved or donate. Applications for financial assistance for ovarian cancer patients who need help with rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, transportation, medication or other expenses while going through treatment, are also available online. Members of “Team Lulu” – comprised of friends and family of Mary Lou Davis, of Millbury, who passed away Sept. 13, 2013 from ovarian cancer, met at Athens Missionary Baptist Church in Walbridge before heading out to “turn the town teal.” “This is very personal and very important to us,” said Kathy Mannon, Mary Lou’s daughter. “We’re hoping by spreading the word about symptoms and early detection, we can possibly help women get early detection and treatment, which is so, so critical with this disease.”

ProMedica opens its first urgent care center in Oregon ProMedica has opened a new urgent care/walk-in clinic in Oregon, located at 3326 Navarre Ave. The health system plans to bring several new Urgent Care sites to the metropolitan area to increase access to highquality care at the lowest possible cost. ProMedica Urgent Care, a new option for minor emergencies and immediate medical needs, offers a broad range of services, including X-rays and lab testing. “We are setting a new standard for medical care with a primary focus on providing appropriate care in the right setting that is more expedient and affordable. We also want to prevent unnecessary visits to the emergency room,” said Lee Hammerling, MD, chief medical officer, ProMedica. “Urgent care is one of the fastest growing specialties in the medical field

due to the extended hours and immediate availability. It is a trend that we expect to see increase locally and nationally.” According to the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine, urgent care facilities in the United States increased from 8,000 to 9,300 since 2008. Approximately 50-100 new sites open each year. ProMedica Urgent Care offices will be open during the day as well as evenings, weekends and holidays. Certified nurse practitioners (CNPs) will treat adults, children and infants as young as 6 months. CNPs are registered nurses with advanced medical training and education to treat a broad range of primary care needs. “We have a highly-trained and experienced medical team ready to handle a wide variety of minor injuries, infections and

A “good ride”

Vail Meadows closes doors due to financial pressures Rising feed and boarding costs coupled with the lack of corporate sponsorship has forced the owners of Vail Meadows Therapeutic Riding Center to close its doors. The closing leaves a gap in services to people with disabilities as well as to the Oregon and surrounding communities as a whole. According to Joy Vail, the family purchased the property at 6188 Cedar Point Rd. in 1997 and opened the facility in 1998. The family followed a mission to provide services to disabled individuals. “It was always our mission to help people who really needed our help,” Vail said. “We did not want it to happen and I am quite frankly torn. We opened on Aug. 28 1998 and closed Aug. 30, 2015. We were a positive experience and we want to remain a positive experience for the community.” The center has served countless individuals with disabilities over the years including those with autism, Multiple Sclerosis, Downs Syndrome and developmental disabilities. “We have done everything we could to keep it going,” Vail said. “We did not want to keep going and end up owing people money. We wanted to be financially responsible in how we did this. The worst part is letting the riders down. They really loved, enjoyed and depended on it.” Vail Meadows has gone through several devastating events in the last two years. In the early morning hours of March 21, 2013, the century old 10,000 square foot barn went up in flames. Harley, a retired Toledo Police Mounted Patrol horse, along with Cherokee, Buddy, Roxie, Mary Legs, T.J., Pusher, Midnight, Taz and Chico all died in the fire. Vail said the family was overwhelmed by the support and kindness of the community and by strangers. Monetary donations as well as the donation of horses allowed the center to continue its programs. “I did not think people realized what we offered to the special needs community,” she said. “After the fire, we were amazed by the people who came out to help. The Maumee Bay Lodge sent coffee for the firemen and people wrote us letters. Kids sent cards that they made. It made us feel so good even after suffering something that was so bad. It gave me the impression of how much goodness there is in the community. I did not realize how many people knew the good we had with the program.”

Fremont family sets two firsts for walkers club The Chimahusky family of Fremont has set two milestones for the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center’s Walkers’ & Wagging Tails’ Club. Ed and Debbie Chimahusky, and their daughter, Jane, were the first family in the club to reach 300 miles and the first club members to reach that mark with a dog. On Aug. 30, Meghan Wonderly, Hayes Presidential Center annual giving and membership coordinator, gave the family T-shirts and lunch boxes for their accomplishment. Jane’s dog, Oscar, also received a red bandanna to match the T-shirts. Before the club formed in April, the three already walked – and in Jane’s case, sometimes ran – through Spiegel Grove. They decided to join the club and log their miles. They live near Spiegel Grove and like to stay active. “It was just an incentive to do more,” Debbie said. “I love walking and running through the Grove with all the beautiful paths,” Jane said. “It’s so peaceful and relaxing.” Sponsored by ProMedica Memorial Hospital, the Walkers’ & Wagging Tails’ Club challenges members to log 300 miles of walking their way to better health. People can walk anywhere, inside or outside. Walkers need to keep track of the days and distances they walk and periodically stop by the Hayes Museum reception desk to enter the mileage into the official log book. For info, call 419-332-2081 or visit rbhayes.org.

The Vail family also suffered the loss of Vail’s husband Bob in December 2014. The program was running at a $3,000 a month loss culminating in Vail and the board of directors to take a long, hard look at the center’s future in August. “I knew it wasn’t good,” Vail said. “We sat down and looked at what we owed people, and the bills and we knew how bad it was. We wanted to be able to pay what we owed people. We did not want to close owing anyone money. I now have 13 horse in my backyard to feed.” According to Vail, the lack of a corpo-

rate sponsor really sealed the fate of the program. “If we had a corporate sponsor, we would still be open,” she explained. “We had many people volunteer their time and people held fundraisers where we made $200. People in the community wanted to donate money, but it was really just a BandAid. I don’t want to hurt people’s feelings by saying that. A bake sale that brings in $200 is a lot of money, but not when you need $5,000 a month to run the program.” Vail pointed to similar programs with sponsors that are going strong in other communities. “There is a program in Mansfield that is sponsored by the city and one in Grand Rapids, Michigan that is sponsored by Kellogg’s. If we had a sponsor we could have made it.” The lack of a constant stream of income also made it hard to deliver services. The center had to cap the number of people served to 25 per week because it could not provide the room and board for more horses to serve the many people on a waiting list. Vail Meadows also worked with the Oregon Municipal Court to serve teens who had made mistakes and needed to complete community service. Local churches and schools also worked with Vail to offer community service hours to teens. “A lot of people benefited from the pro-

gram,” she said. “The teenage kids made us feel good and it forced teens to look at life differently. That is going to be a loss. A lot of kids just came to volunteer here. We touched kids who wanted to serve community on their own. It is amazing what wonderful kids we have out there.” Vail did not dismiss the notion of reopening the center if a corporate sponsor were to step forward. It would take a miracle, she said, but the center has survived on miracles in the past. “Nobody would believe the miracles Vail Meadows was built on,” Vail said. “We went through three banks until one bank gave us a loan. So many miracles built it. The volunteers were wonderful. The volunteers got as much out of it as the riders did.” The center’s six therapy horses will, for now, be going their separate ways. One was on loan to the center and was picked up by its owner the day it closed. Three other horses will be picked up by their prior owners soon. Two others will remain at the Vail homestead. “Somebody said it has been a good ride and it has been,” Vail said. “It made me even more aware that you don’t live forever. If it was financially stable maybe someone could have taken it over when I am gone. That would have been ideal. It was a mission. We just needed more finances behind it.”

Early showdown likely has championship implications By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com The last time Gibsonburg defeated Northwood in a league game dates back to when Tom Pfeiffer coached the Golden Bears to a string of Suburban Lakes League championships in the late 1990s. Northwood coach Ken James remembers those days well — he was the Rangers’ coach then and remains so as both teams begin their quest for a Toledo Area Athletic Conference title. Gibsonburg coach Steve Reser, however, had just completed his playing career at Tiffin Calvert (1995 graduate), but he does remember Calvert and Gibsonburg meeting in a playoff game. As the coach at Gibsonburg, Reser knows their annual league game with Northwood has the potential to become a rivalry. By his definition, it’s not a rivalry until Gibsonburg makes it one. “You call it a rivalry, but we’re looking to make it one here at Gibsonburg,” Reser said. “Last year was a good game for us. If it comes down to us being the two biggest schools in the TAAC, boys-wise, we have never beaten Northwood since I’ve been here. People call Ohio State-Michigan a rivalry, and that may kick up this year, too, but a rivalry takes two sides and we’re definitely looking to put our part in that rivalry this year.” In addition, this year’s crop of Golden Bears has a chip on their shoulder. A TAAC championship will definitely mean going through Northwood. “These kids were probably not even alive the last time Gibsonburg beat Northwood, and they’re not the Northwood of old, and we’re not the Gibsonburg of old,” Reser said. “So, today’s the day. We know that Northwood is a good team and we know we have to do the best we can to prepare to beat them. That’s something I know our young men are looking forward to.” Calvert was narrowly chosen to win the TAAC, but Northwood and Gibsonburg closely followed in preseason coaches’ voting. Gibsonburg started the season 2-0 and Northwood 0-2, but Reser knows that won’t mean much when both teams line up on Northwood’s field. “Give Coach James and Northwood credit. They always put a good team out there, they never freak out even if they are behind. They play a steady football game. They are patient,” Reser said. “When they get the opportunity, if our guys have a missed step here and there,

GAME OF THE WEEK N

TAAC SHOWDOWN

Gibsonburg Golden Bears @ Northwood Rangers Friday, September 18

Northwood senior fullback Jonny Wheeler tries to barrel through Lake’s line in the Rangers’ loss. (Press photo by Don Thompson/Facebook.com/DNRSports) they are going to capitalize on that. So, we just need to make sure we keep our mistakes to a minimum and control the things we need to win the football game. When we face, all the records are out the window. “At this point, our kids are playing for pride and their kids are playing for pride, too, because they don’t want to lose to us because they haven’t in a long time. So, there will be a lot of emotions on the field. We’re looking for a great football game and obviously Coach James and I both want to be on top at the end, but we’ll have to see how that plays out next Friday.”

Northwood opened by losing to Ayersville, 27-7, and then was routed by Lake, 49-0 in a game Coach James says was closer than the score indicated — at least, for one half. Lake put up its third touchdown late in the first half, and the momentum swing went their way enough to turn the second half into a rout. Lake brought such overwhelming size, that James noted how even Lake’s 6-0, 220 pound junior quarterback Jake Rettig could play tackle if he were on Northwood’s team. Against Lake, Northwood’s offense

managed to move the ball in the first half and even had scoring opportunities, but Lake’s defense stiffened and the Ranger offense made untimely mistakes. However, Reser credits Northwood for scheduling two teams that started the season 2-0 and have playoff aspirations of their own. “The bottom line is that Coach James and Northwood football are always going to put out a good product on the field. To be honest, it is hard to gauge how good they are because of the early competition they put on the field,” Reser said. “They may not always win those games, but it definitely provides them with some experiences they can continue to learn from throughout the season. They may win a couple later because of the things they have been through early. I give them credit for their strength of schedule, and obviously, (Friday) will be our first league game.” James agrees it’s important to have a tough non-conference schedule, which also includes their game at Rossford last Friday night. He says it’s even better when “you’re winning” and he admits his team is “dinged up a bit” with injuries. He says while the team is facing issues, he believes it’s creating learning situations that could pay off during league play, just like Reser said. James also credits Reser with making Gibsonburg a viable force on the gridiron again. The Golden Bears opened with a 3413 win over Elmwood (0-2) behind quarterback Ryan Clark, a six-foot, 200 pound junior, who completed 12 of 21 passes for 178 yards in his first start replacing the graduated Matt Tille. Gibsonburg followed that up with 123 yards rushing and Clark completed 15 of 24 passes for 235 yards during a 48-0 rout over Lakota (1-1). Clark, after two games, is completing 60 percent of his passes, averaging 15.3 yards per completion, and the Bears have outgained their opponents in combined total yardage 710 to 277.

Genoa freshman D’Emilio places at world wrestling events By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Genoa freshman wrestler Dylan D’Emilio, competing for Team USA, placed at junior world championship events held in Europe over the summer. D’Emilio competed for the USA at 46 kilograms (101¼ pounds) at the World Cadet Championships in Saravejo, Bosnia August 24-30, 2015 and took fifth place. He won his first three matches against Germany, Ukraine, and Kazakstan before falling to the eventual champion from Russia in the semifinals and losing a close match to Iran in the Bronze Medal match.

To qualify for the USA team, he won the USA World Team Trials back in May 2831 at the ASICS UWW Cadet Nationals in Akron. In the finals at the Trials, D’Emilio defeated his opponent from Oklahoma twice (8-2, 10-0) for the best two out of three matches to secure one of 10 spots on the USA World Team. After the trials, D’Emilio participated in a training camp in July at the University of Wisconsin and also attended a weeklong camp before the world events with the Cadet team at the Olympic Training Center (OTC) in Colorado Springs, Colorado. At the OTC, D’Emilio had a unique experience practicing alongside senior level team members preparing for the Senior Worlds

September 7-12 in Las Vegas, Nevada. D’Emilio started the year in October 2014 wrestling Folkstyle (U.S. style of wrestling). He won all of his Folkstyle matches this year, taking first place at competitive national tournaments at Pre-Season Nationals in Iowa; Super 32 in North Carolina; and the Philo Invitational in Dresden, Ohio. D’Emilio also competed on several Ohio teams at national dual tournaments and went undefeated. Dual tournaments included the VAC Holiday Duals in Virginia, McDonogh in Maryland, Border Wars in Michigan, Atlantic Coast National Duals in Wildwood New Jersey, and USA Wrestling in Danville, Illinois. In late March, D’Emilio switched to the

international style of wrestling, Freestyle, and competed in several local tournaments across Ohio. In addition to winning the Trials, D’Emilio also competed in regional Freestyle tournaments, winning the Northeast Regional in Pennsylvania and capturing second at the Central Regional in Indiana. In June, D’Emilio competed for Ohio National Team at the USA Wrestling National Duals in Pennsylvania and went undefeated, avenging his sole loss of the season at Central Regional. In July, D’Emilio competed at 100 pounds and won the top national tournament at the USA Wrestling Cadet Freestyle Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota.

‘Cats’ eye NBC title in soccer By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Carlo Pocino likes to plan ahead. Woodmore’s 11th-year boys’ soccer coach tells many of his players they will get a minimum of 10 minutes on the field during games, and how long they stay in the game is basically up to them. “I tell them, ‘show me you want to stay on the field,’ ” Pocino said. “Everybody gets a chance to play, so when the seniors graduate I have a bunch of guys who have played 16 games and they know what’s going on.” The Wildcats return nine lettermen from a squad that finished 5-9-3 last season. Pocino also likes the addition of nine talented freshmen into the varsity program. “The freshmen who came in are really good and they have brought a strong side to the team,” Pocino said. “They are bigger than most freshmen, and I’m usually starting four or five freshmen per game. It’s a complement to the kids’ playing, because they know they can get out there and I trust them to play against the big boys. The team in general gives me 100 percent every game.” Woodmore was 3-1-1 through Thursday, with wins over Old Fort (7-2), Otsego (5-0) and Clay (7-0) and a 3-2 loss to two-time defending Northern Buckeye Conference champion Rossford. On Tuesday, the ‘Cats tied Lake 1-1 behind a rebound goal by senior midfielder Shale Wahl. Junior midfielder Connor Whitney leads the team in goals, with five. “I move him either to midfielder or forward,” Pocino said. “I try to move him around as much as possible to give me an understanding where they play better. Connor is a scrapper and doesn’t give up, even though he’s a smaller player. I tell him if somebody gets a shot on goal, you better be there. Three of his goals are where the ball bounced off the goal or the goalie and he hit it in.” Senior forward Trent Smith has three goals and four assists after missing the last two seasons with ankle and foot injuries. “He played for me as a freshman,” Pocino said. “He looks OK. He’s fast, and I’m trying to break him of using his left foot only. He’s improving and getting better each game.” Kevin Paul, a sophomore keeper, had 15 saves against Lake and now has 36 on the season. “His brother (Ryan) was a keeper, so he’s learned a lot from him,” Pocino said. “He gets a lot of stuff in the air. He comes out (of the box) when he needs to, but sometimes he makes mistakes like all goalies do. He learns from his mistakes and that makes him a better goal keeper. We shoot at him about 150 times every day in practice.” Sophomore forward Eli Rogers, a player Pocino said was “shy around the big boys” as a freshman, has four goals. “He isn’t afraid anymore, and he’s put in some pretty good goals just outside 18 yards,” Pocino said. “He’s a scrapper at playing whatever position I put him in, and he doesn’t give up.” Wahl, junior fullback Matt Duslak and freshman defenseman Sam Barbee are also playing key roles for the Wildcats. “Shale is a bulky, strong person and is fast,” Pocino said. “He’s good at center fullback. He started out as a left or right fullback and then I moved him to the cen-

(Press photo by Russ Lytle/ Facebook.com/ RussLytle/RHP) ter because he has better control. Matt and Sam are both fast and strong, in the air and on the ground. They are my two rocks back there and they control anything coming through.” Woodmore was ranked 10th in the

latest Division III Northwest Ohio Soccer Coaches Association poll, but that doesn’t concern Pocino. He said the Wildcats hope to challenge for the NBC title. “We should be better in the second round (of conference play),” Pocino said.

“The whole team has to improve as time goes on. They are getting better. It’s hard to put a lot of freshmen on a team and say you’re now playing at a higher level. Some of those guys play travel soccer, but not all of them.”

Flyers getting physical, shut out first two opponents American Conference linebacker at Bowling Green State University who got a shot to play in the NFL, it may surprise some that defense is not his baby at Lake. He delegates most of that responsibility to other coaches. “Defensive coaches Dave Rymers, Greg Wilker, Jason Schober, Josh Andrews and Alex Emans — they deal with the defense. I don’t do anything with the defense,” Emans said. “They do a great job with scouting reports. They do a great job with breaking down film. “I think, probably, on first and second down, putting teams in third and long has been a big bonus so far. We’ve been very fortunate these first two games where our first down and our second down efficiency on defense has been outstanding.”

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Lake football coach Mark Emans believes his team must get physical to win league titles and make a run into the playoffs. From his team’s 2-0 start, it looks like his Flyers are getting the message. “I feel like we’re physical — that’s one of the things I wanted to bring to Lake was having physicality,” Emans said. “I think our kids are playing as a family — that we are not a bunch of individuals, we are a true family atmosphere this year. “And, I’m excited about our potential. Now, we’ve got to practice and work every day, but I’m excited about what we can do this year. It’s just a matter of staying healthy, that’s a key for us. We just can’t get banged up, and we’ll just play them one week at a time.” In Lake’s first two games, its defense shut out two opposing offenses. Lake cruised over Montpelier, 47-0, and then set up some kind of barrier at the goal line against Lemoyne Road rival Northwood in a 49-0 Flyer win one week later. “I think defensively we’ve been very good against the run so far,” Emans said. “Our interior front four, our front down linemen, are pretty physical and move pretty well for big guys. We are a little bigger than we have been in past few years and that really helps us is begin physical up front and keeping people off our linebackers and letting our linebackers make plays. That’s really been the key. “I think it’s been really a team defense more this year than the last two years. We had some very good individuals defensively last year, but I think our kids are really buying into that team concept.” It took a goal line stand to keep the Rangers out of the end zone, plus special teams and forcing turnovers played roles in both wins. “Our kids are really priding themselves on the shutout that first game, and then that second game, when things were kind

Lake running back Nick DeLauter finds open space in the Flyers' win over Northwood. (Press photo by Don Thompson/Facebook.com/ DNRsport) of getting away from it, we wanted to try and keep that shutout going,” Emans said. “They really buckled down and played tough. That front four did a good job and they didn’t give in. “It’s just a goal to play every play. Our kids aren’t getting caught up in the big picture, and they are just trying for a play and then maybe we’re going to hold them on this series, then for the game if we’re going to hold them out, that’s fine, but our kids are really buying into this big picture thing.” Against Northwood, a fumble on a kick-off return led to a short field, leading to one Lake score. In addition, the Flyers took the Rangers out of their running game. “They were a good running team and they run that option, and you have to play

disciplined,” Emans said. “I thought we did. We really contained No. 4 (Northwood senior quarterback Mike Vallejo), a very, very nice quarterback, and I really think we took him out of the game plan, so to speak. We just didn’t give him a chance to get going.” It happened against Montpelier, too, as Lake six-foot, 179 pound freshman Luke Walsh recovered a fumble in the Locomotives’ end zone for six points. “Good special teams play is always outstanding, and we stress that, and most coaches do, but we think that’s the third leg of the stool that we need in playing good football,” Emans said. “Special teams are not a break for some kids who just ‘kind of have to do it.’” Considering Emans was an All-Mid

Offense getting physical, too The Flyers are getting physical on offense, too. In two games, 5-10, 196 pound senior running back Branden Short ran for 447 yards on 36 attempts — good for 12.4 yards per carry. Again, size in the line is part of the difference. “We lost three offensive lineman off last year’s team, and the new guys coming in have a done nice job and are really physical. Branden has really good vision for a running back — he sees holes, he sees cutbacks, and he’s done a really nice job. The line gives him a little crease and he’ll get through there,” Emans said. Six-foot, 220 pound junior quarterback Jacob Rettig provides a similar threat — he can throw the ball as well as his older brother, Jared, did last year as a senior. However, Jake has the kind of size and strength to pound the ball through the middle when he wants to, scoring twice against Northwood from inside the 10. “Jake is doing a really nice job. He’s had a couple games of throwing over 100 yards each, but we’re a little more featuring a running game this year, but he’ll still throw and be balanced with our offense,” Emans said. “He’s a junior, but he’s got enough varsity experience when he got in there last year a couple times when Jared got dinged up.”

Connor Bringman hoping to lead Woodmore to better days Connor Bringman likes doing the dirty work. His work ethic paid off for the entire football club in the Wildcats’ 29-28 overtime victory over Toledo Christian. It was a win that broke a 12-game losing streak and could perhaps be a sign of things to come for a program that has fallen on hard times. Bringman, a senior, was instrumental in the victory, throwing the go-ahead touchdown from five yards out to Dustin Haar to set up the win. Bringman accounted for all of his team’s touchdowns with three coming on the ground as the Wildcats and Eagles engaged in a back-and-forth affair that saw it end when Toledo Christian had its extra-point attempt ricochet off the crossbar in the extra session. “It was awesome,” Bringman said. “Obviously, it was a very exciting game, and those are always fun, but winning after so long and seeing the hard work we do day in and day out pay off was a great

feeling.” Woodmore, which last made it to the playoffs in 2001, is led by second-year coach Brian Spicer, a West Point graduate of the U.S. Military Academy. Spicer is well traveled and has had success at previous stops, but he came to a program that has experienced its ups and downs in the last 14 years and is hoping the comeback win could be a sign of rebirth. The program last regularly competed for league titles and playoffs berths in the 1990s under Mike Lee, currently the coach at Clay. Last season on the gridiron, Bringman completed 170-of-349 passes for 2,224 yards, a school record, and 16 touchdowns to go with 240 rushing yards and eight scores while also the team’s punter. Bringman says he will continue to play three sports so that he is able to contribute to his school on a wider scale. “My dad is an alum and the feeling of support I have received from him and many other members of the community is a huge part of why I play three sports, but I believe just as large of a part of that is my teammates and best friends,” he said.

“There is no better feeling in the world than getting to compete year-round with them while playing for our community.” While he wants to improve things for future classes, he also wants to win for his teammates this year. “All the players on the roster right now see the bigger picture. We all have a deep love for our school and for our community and I believe that is the biggest motivator,” Bringman said. “And as much as we see better times ahead, we are working to make the times right now better. We want to restore our community’s pride and simply make it better for those who have played before us and those who are to follow. “I believe the future for Woodmore football is very bright. We have a great group of both young players and more veteran players who will do anything to succeed. We have very good team unity and morale. And looking forward past this year, the seniors stepping in next year are a top-notch group of athletes with a great work ethic — leadership will not be at any shortage,” Bringman continued.

Clay gridiron hall of famer gets ace at historic Inverness

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Former Clay football and baseball player Ross Graham (2004 graduate) is being inducted into the school’s athletic hall of fame, which he calls “a tremendous honor.” Now that his football and baseball playing days are over, Graham finds time to enjoy the links, and he doesn’t do bad on the golf course, either. In mid-August, Graham, now national sales director for Oregon-based TESCO (Transportation Equipment Sales Corp.), aced the par three, 168-yard hole No. 3 at Inverness Country Club. It was his first time golfing at Inverness and his first holein-one. “It was just a smooth swing. It kind of hit in front of the green,” Graham said. “We actually had two caddies who played girls golf at Clay, and about 10 people saw the hole-in-one. Everybody saw it right from the tee, and it just rolled, and it must have been during the last rotation it just went ‘dink,’ and everyone was just going crazy.” Golfing alongside Graham were coworkers Jim Zsigray and Josh Wise and the caddies Graham was talking about were Clay golfers Aubrey Jacobs and Jenna Mahler, who had a hole-in-one of her own last year. Graham didn’t want to reveal what his score was, but apparently the ace didn’t represent how tough historic Inverness can be for an amateur golfer. “It was rough. Some of those bunkers were tough to get out of,” Graham said. Graham’s junior football season at Clay was one to remember. He was first team All-GLL, first team all district, first team All-Blade, first team All-Press, Defensive

Stritch grad perseveres, takes skills to a bigger stage By Alex Sobel Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com When Josie Wauford didn’t make the University of Toledo’s cheerleading team her freshman year of college, it could have easily been the end of her cheerleading career. But she didn’t let the setback stop her. “I didn’t give up,” she said. Wauford’s love of cheerleading began when she was in high school at Cardinal Stritch. Right away, she was fascinated by the athleticism of the girls she observed. “When I started getting into competitive cheerleading, I noticed that the girls were performing these crazy skills and I wanted to be able to do that, too,” Wauford said. Her small stature also factored into her interest. “I always wondered what it would be like to be put up so high in the air. I’m only five-foot, so I always wondered what it would be like being tall,” she said After being a football and basketball varsity cheerleader for four years at Stritch, Wauford began looking at college level cheerleaders. “Towards the end of high school, I started to go to some college football games with my parents so I could watch what the cheerleaders performed at the games,” she said. “They were throwing insane baskets, amazing pyramids and tumbling skills and I knew I wanted to do that once I went to college.”

While Wauford had gymnastics experience, she didn’t feel like she was ready to perform on that level yet. “I didn’t have the skills I needed at the time, so I had put a lot of long hours in the gym,” she said. “I never had the chance to (do stunts) at a high school game, so I had to take private co-ed stunt classes with different male cheerleaders around the area. I learned many different stunting skills that I didn’t know I was capable of.” When it came time for UT’s cheerleading tryouts, Wauford found that while she had prepared physically, her nerves were still a factor “I thought that I was prepared for tryouts,” she said. “I was so nervous and I got really intimidated by all of the stunts and tumbling skills the cheerleaders had.” At the end of tryouts, Wauford was not asked to join UT’s cheerleading team. “I was definitely upset with myself,” she said. But the failure only made her want to work harder. “Instead of dwelling in my failure, I took that as motivation to better myself and be more prepared for tryouts for the following year,” Wauford said. Not making UT’s cheerleading team also made Wauford seek out the help of others. “I really took the time until the next tryouts to surround myself with supportive people,” she said. “Many of my friends kept me motivated. I even joined a women’s fitness organization, CHAARG (Changing

Now, she knows what it takes When the next year’s tryouts for UT’s cheerleading team rolled around, all of the nerves that had hindered Wauford’s performance the previous year had disappeared. “When tryouts came, I knew what to expect so I wasn’t as nervous. I performed my skills and showed that I had what it takes to be a collegiate cheerleader,” she said, then exclaiming. “I made the team.” Despite her confidence going into tryouts, the reality of her success hasn’t completely registered yet. “It’s still so surreal to me,” she said. Her first game cheering for UT will be September 19 when the football team takes on Big 12 conference member Iowa State at the Glass Bowl. “I am so excited to be able to say that I have accomplished my goal of becoming a cheerleader for Toledo,” she screamed. Even with the ups and downs, Wauford hasn’t forgotten what made her love cheerleading in the first place. “I (enjoy) performing in front of a crowd and getting them pumped for our athletics. Being able to lead crowds like that is an experience that is hard to put into words,” she said. “There’s nothing like it.”

Wauford also wanted to pass on all she’d learned over the years to younger girls who were just beginning their cheerleading careers. “I decided to help coach cheerleading at Cardinal Stritch with Erica Gears and Becky Yost,” she said.

Tom, Today is your birthday. It is so hard to believe you are gone. You had such a love of life. You had so much love for your son, Tim. It’s just not fair. I miss you so much, Tom. It is tough facing each day. I miss your smile, the way you make me laugh, your story telling, your loving and caring heart, and our travels. Our memories we had together make me smile. I can hear you laugh and see you smiling. Then the loss hits me like a ton of bricks. It just takes my breath away. Tom, you are the love of my life. I will hold you in my heart until we are together again.
