Lake Twp., Northwood affected

Northwestern Water district issues advisory By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com It’s almost becoming a quarterly ritual for residents living in the eastern half of the City of Northwood and in Lake Township, including the Village of Millbury; notices arrive from the Northwestern Water & Sewer District advising them the allowable levels of a disinfectant by-product have been exceeded. Notices were distributed earlier this month to consumers along the district’s waterline 200, which is linked to the City of Oregon’ s distribution system. The advisory informs consumers the average level of trihalomethanes during the four quarters prior to the July 1 – Sept. 30, 2015 monitoring period was 0.10 mg/L (milligrams per liter). The allowable standard for TTHM is 0.08 mg/L. The average level over the four quarters preceding the April 1 – June 30 2015 monitoring was 0.086 mg/L and the average during four quarters prior to the Jan. 1 – March 31 monitoring was 0.092 mg/L. Environmental Protection Agency rules require informing the public each quarter of the rolling average for the prior year, Dan Wickard, the district’s superintendent, said.

“

As they do one thing it causes something else to happen. Every third quarter is when we hit the high numbers.

“

Members of the Woodmore school board agreed Tuesday by a 4-1 vote to a payment of $29,000 to Cara Brown, a Woodville resident, who filed a lawsuit alleging the board repeatedly violated Ohio’s open records and meeting laws. A settlement was reached in July by mediation in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court. Board president Steve Huss cast the sole no vote. In addition to the payment, the board has undergone a training session by the Ohio School Boards Association and OSBA will monitor future board meetings. Jeff Chambers, a spokesman for the OSBA, said two staff members of the association were present at Tuesday’s meeting. A settlement agreement signed by Brown states OSBA will attend Woodmore board meetings until the OSBA determines the board: • Has prepared adequate agendas for its meetings. • Has prepared and provided sufficiently detailed minutes of meetings. • Has provided reasonable notice for scheduled board and committee meetings as well as work sessions or organizational meetings. • Has prepared agendas and minutes for committee meetings. • If applicable, has not appeared to discuss or deliberated privately in advance of a meeting unless in accordance with an appropriately-conducted executive session. On Thursday, Brown said she was satisfied with the resolution of her complaint. “As long as the board is making progress so that the entire district can move forward then that is satisfaction,” she said. “For me the long-term goal was to keep the board progressing. Public money means public business conducted in open meetings.” During Tuesday’s meeting, Corinna Bench, a board member, said she’s reviewed the board’s policies and said mem-

He said the warmer summer temperatures create the conditions for harmful algal blooms and other problems. “The (Oregon) water plant has to increase chemicals such as chlorine which can kill the algal bloom but as a by-product we can still get organics that come through the plant. When they react with the chlorine that’s what produces the TTHM,” Wickard said. “As they do one thing it causes something else to happen. Every third quarter is when we hit the high numbers. The following quarters may be lower but the rolling average isn’t below the threshold.” According to the City of Oregon web-

site, the city is investing in an ozone treatment process that will allow it to remove and treat for organics with much less chlorine. The upgrade is expected to be completed early in 2017. “They’re working out the process to put in some high level treatment that will take care of both the algal bloom and TTHM problems,” Wickard said. “We’re very confident in what they’re going to do.” The notices state that the TTHM levels don’t pose an immediate health risk but advise anyone with specific health concerns to consult their doctor. Long-term consumption – “over many years” – may result in liver, kidney or central nervous system problems and an increased risk of cancer, the notices say. “You have to have a chlorine residual to make sure the water is disinfected and you don’t have bacteria of fecal material present,” Wickard said, adding the district is conducting maintenance efforts such as flushing to keep fresher water in the system. “The longer the chlorine has contact with the organics the more TTHM is likely to be created,” he said. “So if we do more flushing we can try to reduce that long detention time.” According to the federal EPA website, Continued on page 2

Water Continued from front page trihalomethanes are a group of four chemicals formed along with disinfection byproducts when chlorine or other disinfectants used to control microbial contaminants in drinking water react with organic or inorganic matter in water.

Settlement Continued from front page bers should consider changes to make it easier for the public to address the board during meetings and to be placed on the agenda. Calling for more flexibility, she said her suggestions were to “get the ball rolling.”

Woodmore Elementary to be razed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

Watching the monarchs

Dylan Kemley, a second grade student in Deb Gilcher’s class, Genoa Elementary, has become something of a Monarch butterfly expert. His mother Dyan has brought in Monarchs so students can learn about their life cycle. According to Monarch Watch, the monarch population in the U.S. has declined due to the loss of habitat from development, intensive agriculture, and herbicides affecting the monrach’s food source, which is milkweed. The monarchs will be released for their fall migration. Top photo, Dylan peers into an aquarium that holds three chrysalises. (Press photos by Ken Grosjean)

Two winners will be chosen from any neighborhood within the 43605 ZIP code area. Two winners will receive a certificate of recognition as well as a Mejier $50 gift card and a “Beautiful Home” yard sign. Nominations, which must include a current photo, may be mailed or handdelivered to attention of Jodi Gross, community builder at the East Toledo Family Center, 1020 Varland Ave., Toledo, OH 43605. The deadline is Friday, Oct. 2.

The Woodmore school board has approved a resolution to proceed with the bidding process for demolishing the former elementary school building but board members are divided on how to meet the district’s need for storage space. The board Tuesday voted 3-2 for taking the preliminary steps needed to raze the building. A proposal that’s been floated to retain for storage the wing of the building that housed kindergarten and first grade classes drew support from Steve Huss and Julie Bowman, the board’s president and vice president respectively, but Joe Liszak, Dan Hoppe and Corinna Bench voted for the resolution. A member of the board’s buildings and grounds committee, Bowman said a recent inspection of the wing and materials being stored there, indicates the district is using about 6,000 cubic feet of space for storage. Suitable space in other district buildings is limited, she said, and Linda Bringman, district superintendent, added the administration has been unable to locate rental units in Elmore or Woodville. She cautioned that demolition would be scheduled and completed quickly once contract bids have been received. Huss, quoting figures from a construction firm, said building a pole barn would cost between $60 and $100 per square foot for a basic facility but the costs rapidly escalate if it included amenities such as an office, restroom, and heating and air conditioning. He questioned whether the district had the finances to construct a building to meet the needs for storing temperature-sensitive items, saying the costs could easily surpass $100,000. Liszak said the board should get actual construction estimates from several firms before making a decision on a storage building. The district opened a new pre-kindergarten through eighth grade building last year adjacent to the former elementary building. In other business, the board approved

a request by Bringman to freeze her pay for the 2015-16 school year.

Northwood

“All Aboard”

Cares Committee seeks its own festival The City of Northwood Community Cares Committee is hosting a golf outing at noon on Sunday, Oct. 4 at Sugar Creek Golf Course in Elmore to raise funds to develop a community pride day. Although it is not an officially sanctioned event by the city, proceeds from the fundraiser will be used for the creation of an annual festival starting next year. City Administrator Bob Anderson said the city wants to have its own city pride event, similar to surrounding communities. Oregon has Oregon Fest and Boomfest, and Walbridge has Rally by the Rails. Northwood is long overdue to have its own festival, he said. Even Bono has “Bonofest,” said Anderson. “It would be nice to have something here in Northwood,” said Fire Chief Joel Whitmore, who is organizing the event. Last year, the city hosted the Northwest Firefighters Association, which had a parade and festival. “We had a really great day. It brought a lot of people to Northwood,” said Anderson. “Part of the festivities was a party with a couple of bands, a beer tent and a few vendors.” He and Whitmore discussed the possibility of holding an annual event for the city. “We’re trying to show a positive image, that we have community pride, how it’s great to live here. Everyone else has this but us,” said Anderson. “So Joel and I started talking about `How do we do this?’ We need a date, a couple of bands, and a location. Then the idea of seed money came up.” Anderson said it would have to be an independent fundraising event, separate from any financial support of the city. “I wasn’t going to ask council to sponsor it,” said Anderson. “If we need to do anything, we have to do this independently. That’s how this golf outing came up. Joel said what if we raise money by doing a golf outing to benefit the city to sponsor a festival - some kind of gathering in the summer or fall of 2016 — to foster pride in Northwood. We don’t know exactly how we’re going to do it, but the golf tournament is to raise seed money for the festival.” A hog roast dinner will immediately follow the golf outing. Whitmore has been successful so far tapping businesses to contribute and sponsor the golf outing. There are also private donations. “We sent out letters to local businesses and people we do business with asking for their help. Obviously, if Northwood is successful, our vendors are going to be successful, too,” he said. “I think we’ve had a really good response. It surprised me how

“

This isn’t a bad place after all. In fact, it’s rather pretty. There’s a lot of stuff going on.

“

much response we got from businesses and individuals.”

“Until this group gets non-profit status, all expenditures and money will be accounted for,” said Anderson. Council’s agenda on Sept. 24 was expected to include an ordinance establishing a separate fund for community events like this, said Anderson. Whitmore said there are eight golf teams so far that have signed up for the outing. “The only caveat is we recommend that at least one person in each team to be from Northwood because we want to make it a community event,” he said. Anderson is confident the city will get its annual festival, tentatively called “Community Cares Day,” next year. “This isn’t a bad place at all. In fact, it’s rather pretty. There’s a lot of stuff going on,” said Anderson.

Bihn leads ‘Pledge’

Ottawa County veteran honored The Ottawa County Commissioners recognized veteran Eugene Bihn, of VFW Post 7510, Genoa at their regular meeting held Aug. 4. Bihn served on active duty in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1970. After completing basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina, he was assigned to the 82nd Airborne, 307th Engineer Battalion, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He served in Vietnam with the 25th Infantry 4/23

Mechanized Infantry in Tay Nin Province. Bihn opened the meeting by leading with the “Pledge of Allegiance.” “It was an honor for me to present the proclamation to Eugene and to recognize his bravery, sacrifices he made, and to thank him for his service to our country,” said commission president Jo Ellen Regal. The Ottawa County Commissioners will recognize a veteran at the first or second Tuesday meeting of every month.

Injured kitten needs a foster home A small kitten with a torn leg needs a foster home and orthopedic surgery to fight off infection. An Oregon clinic, Maumee Bay Veterinary Center, is offering to use its relationship with Veterinary Care Foundation, based in Citra, Florida, to help cover costs of the surgery. On Wednesday, Jeanette Fremont, of Lake Township, was unprepared for a phone call from her brother, who notified her about a kitten he found on US 20, just west of Stony Ridge in Troy Township. “A kitten came out of the bushes and started following him around, as if it was seeking his attention,” said Fremont. Upon further examination, he noticed that one of the kitten’s front legs had been torn off and it was in need of veterinary care. He didn’t know much about cats, so he called his sister, who did. Fremont drove to her brother’s house and put the mostly white kitten in a carrier to take to the 24-hour Animal Emergency & Critical Care Center of Toledo, Inc., on Douglas Road, in Toledo, thinking it would be humanely euthanized. As soon as she picked up the friendly kitten, its cries stopped and it started to purr. When she got to the center, veterinarian Dr. Barb Buford, a graduate of the University of Findlay and Ohio State University, examined the kitten and said it would survive its injury. It was given antibiotics to fight off infection, ate all the cat food it was given, began purring on the scene and stayed overnight. Dr. Buford said the center’s technicians fell in love with the kitten immediately. “The Critical Care Center offered to euthanize the kitten at no cost, but I just didn’t have the heart,” said Fremont. “I was so upset. It looked like it wanted to live so badly, and is so well behaved. It had the will to live. It ate right away. When I found out the cat was doing fine, that it could be saved, I wanted to at least give it a chance. To see that cute little face on that kitten,

and knowing that it’s just beginning its life with a severed leg, I just wanted to reach out and help it.” Dr. Buford told The Press Wednesday night that the kitten, a male, was doing well. “His pain is under control with medication right now,” said Buford. “It was in fairly decent condition when it came in.” Dr. Buford defined his injury as a “traumatic amputation.” “It had a mid humeral amputation, or, in layman’s terms, the middle of its upper arm was torn off.” The kitten may have been hit by a vehicle, caught in an engine, or attacked by another animal, she surmised. “It’s hard to say how it happened. The wound is not fresh and the injury didn’t happen today,” Dr. Buford said. “But it’s an open wound right now and there is a risk of infection.” The kitten, estimated at seven weeks old, will need orthopedic surgery as soon as possible to have the humerus amputated, she said. The kitten had a temperature of 104 degrees and was treated for a possible infection on Thursday. Fremont paid over $300 to get the kitten medical treatment at the Critical Care Center. But she cannot pay for its surgery, estimated between $600 and $800. It will have to wait until funds are raised.

Mental health walk The Wood County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board invites the community to “Stand Up and Walk for Mental Health” Saturday, Oct. 10. Wood County’s second annual mental health walk will begin at the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Wood County Office, 541 W. Wooster St. and continue through City Park, concluding at the NAMI office. For more information about the walk or other NAMI Wood County programs, email amadam@namiwoodcounty.org, or call 419-352-0626. To learn more about WCADAMHS Board agencies and programs, call 419-3528475.

Amazin’ grazin’ “If anyone can find it in their heart to donate towards his surgery, it would be a big help,” she said. The staff named the kitten “Chill” because of its “cool” disposition, despite the severe injury, said Fremont. She renamed the kitten “Cool-Cat Chill.” “He has been so calm through the whole tragedy,” she said. Chill should have a pretty normal life after surgery. “Three-legged animals can do remarkably well,” said Dr. Buford, who owns a three-legged dog. Chill would have to live indoors because it would unlikely be able to effectively fight off a predator or run away as quickly as a four-legged cat. Chill is currently under the care of Maumee Bay Veterinary Center Doctors Kevin J. Soncrant and Heather R. Sydebotham. If you would like to foster Cool-Cat Chill, or donate towards its surgery, visit or contact Maumee Bay Veterinary Center, 5859 Navarre Ave., Oregon, at 419-836-7766. To donate to the Veterinary Care Foundation in Cool-Cat Chill’s name, call 1-888-929-4799, email or visit www.vetcarefoundation.org or mail the donation to the foundation’s Good Samaritan Fund at the Veterinary Care Foundation, 2360 NW 140th St., Citra, FL 32113. One hundred percent of the donation is tax-deductible.

“Party Animals” will enjoy a night of food and fun to benefit shelter dogs and cats at Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet’s Amazin’ Grazin’ Dinner and Auction Friday, Oct. 2 from 7-10 p.m. at 1772 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee. Guests will enjoy a fun, relaxing evening with grazing stations, dessert and a cash bar. The event will also include a silent auction and a live auction. Tickets are $35 each, $60 per couple or $240 for a table of eight in advance or at the door. To order tickets, sponsor the event or donate an auction item, call the shelter at 419-537-9663. All donations are tax-deductible.

There is nothing that reflects a person's character more than what they say and the way they speak about others. A good person is kind and truthful, and they can be trusted not to speak of the faults of others.

In the Bible, St. James tells us that if anyone can control their tongue, it proves that they have perfect control over themselves in every other way. He also tells us that sometimes our tongue praises our Heavenly Father, and sometimes it breaks out into curses against men who are made like God. Holding our tongue is not always an easy thing to do; however, we should try not to speak badly or spread rumors about others.

B-C-S treasurer says

State budget ‘rainy day’ fund grows at schools’ expense By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com When Cajon Keeton walked into the Oak Harbor Village Council meeting last Monday, he had one idea in mind - to get across the message that Gov. John Kasich’s decision to put $500 million over the next two years into Ohio’s rainy day fund is a bad idea for Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools as well as other school districts in the state. With B-C-S superintendent Guy Parmigian and Jeff Dornbusch, treasurer of the Port Clinton City School District, joining him, Keeton, B-C-S treasurer, addressed Mayor Bill Eberle and council, encouraging them to take the issue seriously and contact their local representatives. In addition to B-C-S facing a potential loss of $440,000, several schools located to the east of Oak Harbor — Port Clinton, Perkins, Huron and Vermilion — face similar cuts. “Every two years, the state releases a new budget for all the state organizations. The House worked on it and said no school

district will go backward (financially), and then it went to the Senate, which said the same thing,” he said. “They provided some funds for B-C-S and had us increasing revenue in two years, (but) the Governor vetoed a line item (regarding) tangible property tax reimbursement and phasing out a reimbursement that schools like Vermilion, Port Clinton, Perkins, Huron and B-C-S receive. “We will receive a cut next school year of $440,000 and statewide that veto costs 116 school districts $90 million. The interesting thing behind that is (the state) basically puts $500 million into the rainy day fund, and that’s the frustrating thing. The House and Senate believe, because they won’t overturn the veto or haven’t yet, they are telling the districts that the money is better for the rainy day f cund. It’s a reserve fund (set aside) for a year when tax revenues aren’t what they’re expected to be; those would be reserve funds for the state to dip into.” From 80 cents to $2.5 billion According to Keeton, the rainy day

fund was at approximately 80 cents when Kasich was inaugurated. “He’s grown the fund to the highest it’s ever been,” Keeton said. “I want to say it’s about $2.5 billion with him putting an extra $500 million into it over the next two years.” School officials hope that pressure from taxpayers will motivate legislators to overturn Kasich’s veto. Regardless of what happens, Keeton does not foresee a levy on the horizon for B-C-S. “We are proud of the fact that we do not foresee ourselves going out to the community and asking for any additional revenue at this time,” he said. “We are going to weather the storm and we are going to fight to get these funds reinstated without asking the district for new money.” “What Kasich has said in a roundabout way is, if a community can pay more, it should,” Keeton said. “He would like school districts to go out to the community.” Another misperception involves basic per-pupil state aid, he said. “Everybody always assumes that

school districts get $5,800 per kid, and if you take Toledo Public Schools, they actually get the full amount. “But if you look at B-C-S, because the state says we are able to tax the local taxpayers more, we only get $2,200 per student.” Ultimately, there is still hope that the decision will be reversed. “The outcome that we would like to see as a district is an overturn of the veto,” said Keeton, who previously worked as a treasurer at Otsego Local Schools, located just outside Bowling Green. “Essentially, the House would need to initialize this move and a three-fifths vote would have to come from both the House and the Senate. Currently, 97 percent of the Senate and 71 percent of the House represent at least one school district going backwards (financially), so this should be a no-brainer. “We just want to ask them why (the money) would be better suited for the state’s rainy day fund. We’re not (in a deficit). It’s going to sit (in the rainy day fund) instead of going to use for our kids.”

Conference set

Volunteers vital during emergencies By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com When they meet next month for a conference, a coalition of area volunteers who assist first responders during disasters and emergencies will hear from a fire chief who used to be skeptical of relying on volunteers in such situations. Bruce Moritz, the fire chief of the Lake Township Fire Department, is slated to address a session of the conference scheduled by the Disaster Volunteer Coalition, an arm of the emergency management agencies in Ottawa, Huron and Erie counties. The conference, Beyond Response – Joining Forces to serve in Disasters, is scheduled for Oct. 16-17 at The Chapel, 4444 Galloway Rd., Sandusky, O. It is free and open to the public. In the wake of the June 2010 tornado that swept through Wood and Ottawa counties, volunteers “did an awesome job,” says Moritz, who was chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District at the time. The twister devastated a six-square mile area in Allen Township. Worse, it hit during the night and Moritz found himself relying on volunteers to communicate with victims, remove debris, assist with traffic control and organize response efforts during the next 10 or so days.

In all, almost 2,000 volunteers were involved. “They really took the load off the fire department so we could do our business,” Moritz recalled. “They even manned some road blocks and some administered minor first-aid to victims until the paramedics could arrive.” Appropriately, the conference session with Moritz is called “Converting the Skeptics.” More than a dozen speakers are scheduled to talk about volunteer groups and professional responders who’ve worked together locally during train derailments, floods, tornadoes and water emergencies. Some of the other speakers are: • Julie Goins, St. Vincent Life Flight • Sandy Hovest, of the North Coast Community Emergency Response Team • John Brownlee, of the County Risk Sharing Authority •Alice Webber, Lorain County EMA/ CERT To register by Oct. 9 online go to www. disastercoalition.com.

City plans concession stand, restrooms in Brentwood Park The City of Northwood plans to construct restrooms and a concession stand near baseball diamonds in Brentwood Park. “I’m trying to gradually get the park upgraded,” said City Administrator Bob Anderson. The project will also help the Miracle League, which plays baseball in the park, he added. The Miracle League provides opportunities to children and adults with disabilities to play baseball. City council last year earmarked $38,000 in the budget for the project, mostly to cover the estimated cost to run water and sewer lines off nearby Tracy Road to the concession stand and restrooms, said Anderson. “We appropriated some money last year to start the project,” he said. The Northwestern Water & Sewer

District is also prepared to help, he said. “They’ve agreed in principle to fund some of it,” said Anderson. He said the district could either waive the tap fee or contribute some funds towards construction of the project. Plans call for the project to be completed in different phases. “Phase one would be the installation of the water and sewer lines from the road

to the general vicinity of where we would build the concession stand next year,” he said. “My intention is to get approval from council to pay for that this year.” Councilwoman Connie Hughes, who is council liaison to the city’s Recreation Board, said at a recent council meeting that there are members on the board who would like to help with construction. “A lot of the men on the Rec board have special talents. One can pour cement, another one can do mechanical and electrical. They’re willing to help build it,” said Hughes. “It needs to be done over there,” she added. “Not only for the residents and the kids who play there, but especially for the Miracle League,” she added. “Everything will be handicap accessible. And it’s not right now.” Councilman James Barton said the city could get a cost estimate from Penta Career Center to construct the project. The city paid the school earlier this year to upgrade

the police dispatch center and improve security at the building. “That would be a great project for Penta,” said Barton. “We have talked about that, too,” Hughes said of the Rec Board. “I don’t know what Penta’s schedule is like.” “You got to get on their list. Sometimes they’ll do small projects. They’ll look at the school year and see what they can get in,” said Barton. Anderson said the city will also ask local construction trades for help. “They helped before when we started to put up some of those fields. So we’re trying to get a partnership between civic groups and businesses to get this up,” he said. “We’re going to try and get this constructed at the least cost if we can. It would be nice to provide this service,” he said. “The restrooms more than the concession stand are the high priority.”

Love of history prompts author to open old-fashioned market Local author Lou Hebert has brought history to life through his feature stories for this paper, his blog, Toledo Gazette, and his book Day By Day in Toledo. Now, he’s bringing history to life in another way when he recently opened the doors to the Black Swamp Market. The grocery/café, located on Main Street in Genoa, is somewhat a local history museum, Hebert said. Old photos, some artifacts and a “general store” motif are reminiscent of the days when the town had four mom and pop grocery stores on Main Street, Hebert says. The Black Swamp Market carries basic groceries and locally-grown produce and eggs. Sandwiches, pastries, specialty coffee and a variety of items for carry-out or eat-in lunches are also offered. Magazines, newspapers and books are for sale. There is also a free book exchange, Wi-Fi and 70 years of Genoa High School yearbooks for view. The store is located in the old Hesselbart’s Red & White Grocery at 624 Main. The interior still has the original tin ceilings, vintage lighting, wooden floors and the original skylight. “This was the store where my mother used to shop when I was a kid so it seemed like the natural place for me to open up a store and complete the circle of time,” Hebert, a Genoa native, said. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Lunches are served from 11a.m. to -3 p.m. “I am hoping that the market becomes a place for locals to enjoy a bit of history, along with a good coffee or a place to stop for a few groceries, some candy or a pop. We’ll also accommodate private gatherings in the evening after the close of business. And in the near future, we hope to have a beer license for carry-out, he said. Hebert had a 40-year career in television and radio and retired from WNWO in 2011.

The witches are preparing their brew. More than 50,000 pumpkins and cornstalks are in place. Fog is creeping across the midway (even on sunny days and clear nights). Must be time for Cedar Point’s 19th Annual HalloWeekends, the region’s biggest and baddest combination of fall family fun by day, and thrills, chills & shrills by night. In 2015, HalloWeekends will take on two distinct personas. The Great Pumpkin Fest, held Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., features attractions, crafts, activities and shows geared toward little spooksters and their families, hosted by the Peanuts pals. Kids can enjoy Peanuts-themed attractions, like Franklin’s Tractor Trek, a hay bale course where they can use pedal power to race each other on miniature tractors; Linus’ Mummy Pit, a foam pit that’s just like a bubble bath but without the water; Trick-or-Treat through Planet Spooky for sweet treats; and The Magical House on Boo Hill - a not-so-haunted house with fun surprises around every corner. The Great Pumpkin Fest is highlighted by the Monster Midway Invasion Celebration Parade, featuring friendly monsters, larger-than-life floats, characters of all shapes and sizes, fun music and of course, Snoopy and pals. The parade steps off on the Main Midway and Wicked Twister Midway Saturdays & Sundays at 5 p.m., weather permitting. Count Snooptacula’s Kids’ Costume Contests, live shows, Charlie Brown’s crafts and pumpkin-inspired landscapes throughout the park also add to the fall family fun. Haunting When the sun goes down on Friday and Saturday nights, evil rises at “Haunt,” where monsters and the undead take to the midways to bring guests a truly terrifying trip into the darkness. Haunt” is home to six indoor haunted houses, including Hexed, Zombie High School, G.A. Boeckling’s Eerie Estate, Eternity Infirmary, Eden Musee and the new Slaughter House, a demented trip to the butcher shop where visitors become the fresh cut of the day.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

What is your favorite snack food?

Did Pope Francis’ discussions about secular topics like climate change and income inequality inƀuence your opinion? Yes No

Ira Deel Oregon “Nachos! I love nachos! I make them with taco meat and monterey jack cheese.”

Richard Fiore Genoa “My wife and I stop at Burger King or McDonald’s every once in a while to get vanilla ice cream. I get it in a cone and she gets it in a bowl. It’s a great treat and it’s just the right size.”

Keep momentum going To the editor: In economic development, employers are looking for an educated workforce, a community strong in culture for their employees and at the centerpiece of that community, a strong productive school system. When all these factors are in place, businesses will come here and that will bring the families – families who will raise their children here, and those students will become productive citizens in our community. As a parent, I can say the education our children has received has been outstanding. Our oldest daughter did the work and was nurtured by the teachers of Oregon City Schools, and she gained access to over $250,000.00 worth of scholarship offers. She has gone onto to obtain her master’s degree and her sister recently was awarded the Presidential Scholarship at Lourdes University. Both are alums of OCS. Our story is not unique to the area. There are many children who have similar stories and sadly those achievements don’t grab the headlines. Instead, we hear the negatives. We hear about the mischief. The new administration is heading in the right direction; they get the connection of education and prosperity, now and in the future. I truly feel education is our future and this is the reason why I support the OCS Levy Campaign. Success in the classroom equals a better chance for our tomorrows. Vote yes please and let’s keep the momentum going. Dan Briones Oregon

Most important thing To the editor: We hope the citizens of Oregon will vote yes for the Oregon Schools levy. Education is the most important thing we can provide our students and is also important for maintaining our property values.

Jason Resendez Genoa “Chips and salsa. Any kind... It doesn’t matter. I love chips and salsa!”

Carly Walls Genoa “I would say cereal. A bowl of Rice Krispies would be my favorite.”

Lexi Perry Woodville “My favorite snack in the season of fall is homemade caramel apples. My mom and I make them every year!”

We have two wonderful great-grandchildren in Oregon Schools and they are doing great because they have parents who are involved and make sure they keep up with their work. They see how important a good education is for the long-term success of their kids. The State of Ohio spent $990 million for charter schools but have cut the funding for public schools. Other state funding changes mean that businesses do not contribute to schools like they did when our children were going to school. We need to let the State of Ohio know that school funding needs to change but until then, it is up to us to show that we care about the education of our students and that public education is important. We know that not every student goes to college, so we see how important it is for career tech programs to provide important job training in our schools. Please vote yes on the Oregon Schools levy to show that you support a good education for our kids. Doris and Glenn Levy Editor’s note: According to the Ohio Office of Budget and Management, about $900 million was allocated for charter schools in Fiscal Year 2014. Overall, state spending on primary and secondary education has increased since then.

Crediting FFA To the editor: Recently, we enjoyed a pork dinner prepared by the Woodmore FFA. The meal was absolutely delicious and thus brings kudos to the program, students and their advisor, Mr. Downs. My appreciation for the FFA goes back

many years. As a student at the former Harris-Elmore High School, I participated in vocational agriculture and FFA for four years. I never took any prizes for my farming ability but the program impacted my life greatly. In the 1942-43 school year, I was vice president of the chapter and served part of the year as president. The President Morton Hanneman left during the school year for military service. Those years impacted my life immensely. After my stint in the military and some years in industrial office work, I became involved in sales. The public speaking training in the FFA was so beneficial at that time. Many times I have given credit to the FFA for preparing me for my profession. Keep up the great work for the Vo-Ag and FFA programs at Woodmore. Blair D. Miller Elmore

Career-tech ed vital To the editor: There are all kinds of reasons why young people fail to fulfill their potential. It may be they lack opportunity, support or educational tools and training. The students in the Oregon schools deserve the support of the Oregon community. Consistently, 53 percent of the junior and senior students are enrolled in career and technical programs – what we older citizens call vocational education. In the coming years, the way we live, work and invest in our community is going to change. As property owner in Oregon, I feel we must keep an edge for our up-andcoming workforce through career and technical education. Education is central to basic survival

needs; pathways that lead to a college education, training programs and good-paying jobs in high-demand fields. All 12 career and technical programs will be eliminated at Clay High School, with no chance of reinstatement, if the 3.95-mill levy does not pass. A 3.2-mill property tax will be an automatic assessment which will go to Penta Career Center, which currently serves 16 high schools. Penta cannot possibly absorb all 300-plus Clay students that are currently enrolled in career and tech programs. Support the levy and don’t deny our children and grandchildren a good and diverse education. Jake Galloway Elmore

Knocked down? If you can look up, you can get up Unfortunately, getting knocked down is part of life. It’s your resilience and ability to keep getting back up which determines the direction of your life. As much as you might like it to be, the road of life isn’t always smooth. There are twists, turns, detours, potholes, obstacles, problems, and challenges. The key to your journey is staying on the path which heads toward your desired destination. You will stumble and fall. When you fall you must get back up. Don’t complain. Don’t whine. Don’t make excuses. Failure is not possible as long as you always get back up. You fail only when you give up. This is the process by which you learned to walk. You succeeded because you had an unstoppable determination to get back up as often as necessary. How long it took, or the number of times you fell, was irrelevant. Getting up one more time than you fell, enabled you to walk successfully. Getting back up is not always easy. You may be tired, discouraged, worn out, frustrated, disappointed, or just burned out. Regardless of how you feel, getting back up is essential. You do have inside you the ability to get back on your feet. Never focus on excuses for staying down. Instead, concentrate on reasons for getting back up. There are absolutely no advantages to giving up. Giving up guarantees failure. When you give up, nothing will be accomplished or will improve.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden Remaining knocked down is defeat, and defeat is not a viable option. Lying on the ground, wallowing in misery, keeps you down. Self-pity extinguishes any desire to get back on your feet. All of your energy must be devoted to getting back up. There might be occasions where you can’t get right back up in one step. There is nothing wrong with first having to get on your hands and knees in order to crawl forward. As you are able, you keep pulling yourself up until you ultimately get back on your feet. How long this process takes is irrelevant. Steadily moving forward makes all the difference. At times, you may need help getting back up. You don’t have to tough it out by going it alone. Needing support is not a weakness. Getting assistance to get back up always beats staying down. Many circumstances you will encounter warrant assistance in the form of emotional or psychological support. You don’t know everything. Getting help from those who have more experience or expertise is also pru-

dent. Taking responsibility for your life enhances your ability to get back up. You are in control of your thoughts and actions. Blaming other people or circumstances when you fall keeps you down. Regardless of what has transpired, only you can make the decision to take whatever steps are necessary to get back on your feet. Complaining that you have fallen is a waste of energy. Although feelings of anger or resentment are common, they are toxic emotions which cause you harm. Getting back up requires letting go of these harmful sentiments. Look for positive solutions which help you get back up. Your focus needs to be on improving your situation, not making it worse. Any thoughts of bitterness, retribution, or teaching someone a lesson, only worsens your position. You can’t dig your way out of a hole. Getting back up is easier when you have a brighter vision for the future. Getting back up means moving forward, not wallowing in the past or feeling sorry for yourself. Learn from the past and then let go of it. Don’t repeat the same mistakes. Make getting back up an automatic response. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Opinion

Minister says racism has moved into our institutions “Did you know that in 1964, two thirds of all people locked up in prisons and jails in America were white and one third were people of color?” Rev. Lawrence Keeler recently posed that question to members of the East Toledo Club when he talked about institutional racism. Just 30 years later, the numbers flipflopped—two thirds were people of color, one third white. And, not only had the percentage changed, the prison population had exploded. From 1980 to 2008, Rev. Keeler said, the number of people incarcerated quadrupled from roughly 500,000 to 2.3 million. These statistics come from the book Dear White America: A letter to a New Minority, written by Dr. Tim Wise, an antiracist author and educator. What led to this reversal? Did white Americans suddenly stop committing crimes? Rev. Keeler said statistics show that crime rates broken down by race didn’t change much. However, what did change was that law enforcement resources were expanded in black communities and incarceration rates skyrocketed. There were two reasons for this, he said. First, the Jim Crow laws that enforced segregation were over-ruled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the racists who had the power in the criminal justice system used their law enforcement resources to dominate blacks. And, second, America

Page Two by John Szozda ramped up its war on drugs. The national movement to get tough on drugs impacted the black community more so than the suburban white community. Rev. Keeler cites statistics from the NAACP that state Lawrence Keeler blacks represent 12 percent of the total population of drug users, but 38 percent of those arrested for drug offenses. Government statistics also show a disproportionate number of blacks serve time for drug offenses. One reason cited is that the drug of choice in the black community, crack cocaine, incurs a stiff felony sentence, while the drug of choice in the white community, powdered cocaine, is treated by judges with more sentencing discretion. This policy has helped to subjugate the black community and create a slew of societal ills. Men with felonies can be de-

nied public housing assistance, financial aid for college and training programs, and licensure for various careers in the trades. Fathers are removed from the community and when they return they are limited in their quest for employment by their prison record. In addition, felons have certain restrictions on voting, thus limiting the power of the black voting bloc. Rev. Keeler chose the criminal justice system as his example to show how racism has morphed into our institutions. He said racism is also prevalent in our education, housing and economic systems. “When we talk about prejudice in America, we most often consider it a personal belief of a superiority of one racial group over another. But, what if racism is bigger than that? What if it involves social action and government policies based on false assumptions?” he asked. The tragic deaths of a number of black men at the hands of white police officers and the ensuing protests are forcing some police departments to reevaluate their policies and procedures. Some state and local governments are also reevaluating drug policies. The California legislature, for instance, two years ago passed a bill to give judges the discretion to charge certain drug use as a misdemeanor. While the bill was vetoed by the governor, discussion continues. Others are mandating treatment over incarceration and, just two weeks ago, Toledo residents voted to decriminalize marijuana.

Rev. Keeler started his presentation talking about the Babylonian creation myth that indoctrinated early society with the false assumption that peace and safety can only arise out of violence and force. This myth is apparent today in popular culture and our fascination with superheroes such as Batman, Iron Man, and Rambo, etc. These heroes teach us the only way to have peace and safety is through violence and domination, he said. In the real world, we also believe in the same. He said, “Bigger prisons give us more safety. Bigger police forces create more peace. Bigger armies preserve the world. Bigger weapons protect us.” Rev. Keeler, in addition to serving as pastor at a number of East Toledo churches over the years, has mentored minority at-risk youth with the Mountain Mentors program. He has been involved in mission related trips to Haiti and served on the board of the Helping Hands of St. Louis. Prior to joining the ministry, he spent 25 years as a journalist for a number of papers in Northwest Ohio including The Blade where his last position was assistant managing editor. He ended his presentation with this, “It’s time for our society to quit demonizing people on the basis of their skin color. It’s time for us to wake up and to quit worshipping false gods.” Comment by email at zoz@presspublications.com

Big Brother targets ‘monopoly’ on marjuana legalization By Dave Lange In late July, the Darke County Sheriff’s Department reported that its annual aerial hunt had located about 200 marijuana plants with a street value of $200,000. On Aug. 6, WOWK-TV reported that about 2,500 pot plants were seized by law-enforcement officers in Scioto County. The Dayton Daily News reported Aug. 12 that more than 300 plants were confiscated from seven locations across Clark County. Fox-8 News reported Aug. 14 that the Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s Department seized 250 marijuana plants. The beat goes on. The Chillicothe Gazette reported Aug. 20 that 400 plants were seized in Pike County. WMFD reported Aug. 21 that 240 marijuana plants and 200 “so-called ditchweed plants” were found by authorities in Crawford County. WRTF reported Aug. 25 that a major-crimes task force “discovered more than 200 large pot plants growing in Belmont County.” The Associated Press reported in July that more than 326,000 marijuana plants

Guest Editorial valued at $326 million were seized across Ohio from 2008 to 2014. But the seizures have been declining lately as more growers move their operations indoors, where government agents are less likely to find them. In many, if not most, of the seizures in rural counties, no arrests were made because of the difficulty in identifying the growers. Although growing 200 grams or more of marijuana is a felony in Ohio, cultivation or possession of 100 grams or less is a minor misdemeanor. Marijuana was legal in the United States until 1937, when big-government fanatics concocted ridiculous tales about violence and loose sexual behavior.

Our state spends more than $100 million per year for enforcement of “Ohio’s destructive marijuana laws,” according to former Cincinnati police Capt. Howard Rahtz. He says so in a television commercial that urges voters to support a marijuana-legalization issue on this November’s Ohio ballot. According to a Quinnipiac University poll done this past spring, 52 percent of Ohio voters support the legal possession of marijuana for personal use by adults, and 84 percent support medical marijuana. With reality setting in that most people now favor marijuana legalization, alarmists are raising the red herring of monopolization, citing the ballot issue’s call for 10 growing sites across the state. In 2009, Ohio voters approved a ballot issue that allows only four casinos in the state. The government didn’t whine about monopolies then. Two years later the governor expedited a deal to allow slot machines at the state’s seven racetracks. Unregulated “skill games” casinos continue to fly under the radar of local law enforcement. Three gigantic tobacco corporations

control an industry that produces the deadliest but perfectly legal drug in America. Nobody seems to be worried about that being monopolistic. Oxycontin, the highly addictive pain killer also known as “Hillbilly Heroin,” is produced by one powerful drug maker. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration supports this monopoly. With or without passage of marijuana legalization, Issue 3, in November, hundreds of growers will continue to supply thousands of pot smokers in Ohio. Big Brother will burn millions of tax dollars to eradicate illicit pot plants wherever his hovering helicopters can find them. Scaremongering regulators will huddle in their ivory towers, slurp down martinis and merlots and plot new horrors to inflict their dictates over the personal freedoms of responsible adults.

Help for first-time students Owens Community College recently welcomed two AmeriCorps College Completion Coaches to help first-time college students succeed in their academic and career aspirations. The initiative is part of a collaborative effort between the Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC), the Ohio College Access Network (OCAN) and ServeOhio (Ohio Commission on Service and Volunteerism). Coaches include Lindsey Minnig, of Van Wert, and Hilary Tore, of Toledo. Minnig is a recent graduate of Owens Community College, and is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in communications at Bowling Green State University (BGSU). Tore is finishing up her bachelor’s degree in individualized studies, also at BGSU. “One of my biggest passions in life is to help students because when I first came to Owens I struggled,” said Minnig. “Luckily, I had a mentor and without them I wouldn’t be where I am today, so in a way I am trying to pay it forward.” The coaches will help students in completing their developmental courses and then assist them to enroll in college-

GPA level credit courses. Additionally, they will serve as a support system for the students and assist them in progressing through their completion plan. “Our purpose is to increase student retention by providing students with a variety of resources both on and off campus,” said Tore. “The benefit of working with a completion coach is having one place to go for help with any personal or academic issues.” In 2012, the Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC) and the Ohio College Access Network (OCAN) entered into a strategic partnership to develop and implement the AmeriCorps College Completion Coaches initiative. Students interested in speaking with an AmeriCorps College Completion Coach can email Minnig at Lindsey_minnig@ owens.edu or Tore at Hilary_tore@owens. edu.

Owens delivers backpacks to area children Beginning Sept. 23, Owens Community College representatives began delivering backpacks and supplies to kindergartners through the “Backpack to the Future” initiative. The backpack/school supply drive is organized by the Owens Alumni Association in collaboration with Books-AMillion Inc., area Directions Credit Union branches, two Great Lakes Credit Union

branches and six GenoaBank branches. This month, 565 backpacks and 9,900 school supply items collected throughout the summer months are being donated to 21 area elementary schools, including schools in the Northwood, Genoa, Woodmore, Rossford and Toledo Public Schools districts, among others. The drive also collected over $5,375 from community members, which was used to buy school supplies.

“Every year, area residents and businesses have given an impressive response and made the ‘Backpack to the Future’ supply drive an outstanding success,” said Kaye Koevenig, Owens “Backpack to the Future” project chair and Alumni Association Board director. “It’s wonderful to assure that many more disadvantaged children will be able to begin their school year with new educational supplies.”

I...love seeing them and having them help me.

“

For the past two years, Destiny Martinez, a fourth-grader at St. Kateri Catholic Academy, has chosen to forgo the tradition of receiving gifts for her birthday, instead requesting that friends and relatives make donations to local charities. This year, the soon-to-be 10-year-old is looking to celebrate her birthday by collecting hats and gloves, which will be distributed through the church to those who need them this winter. “Someone in my family gave me the idea to collect hats and gloves and that was my favorite (suggestion),” said Martinez. “Plus I always wanted to collect stuff for the church and this seemed like a good idea.” Two years ago – as a 7-year-old – Martinez collected nearly 250 pairs of shoes to give to Sole4Souls. Last year classmates and members of the community helped Martinez collect more than 800 pairs of jeans for Blue Jeans Go Green – a nonprofit that turns jeans into insulation for Habitat for Humanity. A majority of the hats and gloves collected this year will be going to Epiphany of the Lord, the parish Martinez and her family regularly attend on Sundays, and where she was baptized and received her first communion. Her collections have also opened many opportunities for Martinez. Last year, after learning that she would like to become veterinarian, the Humane Society invited her to come and see how

animals are taken care of in the facility. She also received a recognition award from the Toledo City Council at the conclusion of last year’s jean drive. Most importantly for Martinez, the annual effort brings her family together. With several family members living outside of the Toledo area, she sometimes goes months without seeing some of her cousins, aunts and uncles. But when she has her collection drive, they always come home to support her and celebrate her birthday. “My family lives in all these other places and they come home to help me and that makes me feel really good,” she said. “I have a big family and love seeing them and having them help me.” To donate, bring hats and gloves to the main office of St. Kateri Catholic Schools, 3225 Pickle Rd., Oregon, on school days between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. The drive runs through Friday, Oct. 16.

Thanksgiving meals offered in Oak Harbor For the third year in a row, the Benton-Carroll-Salem District Food Pantry will be providing Thanksgiving meals for individuals and families in need. Boxes consist of a frozen turkey or ham and all the trimmings. Financial contributions are welcome to help purchase the Thanksgiving packages. One hundred percent of the donations will be used to help area families. Last year, more than 100 families ordered a meal. Mail checks to B-C-S Food Pantry, 165 Toussaint St., Oak Harbor, OH or drop checks off at the pantry MondaysFridays from 9 a.m.-noon. Mark on the check that it is for Thanksgiving Meals.

Recognized In recognition of its excellent child care program and ongoing commitment to children, the YMCA Child Development Center, located on the Owens Community College campus, will receive a Five-Star Step Up to Quality Award from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services – Bureau of Child Care and Development. The rating is a system for early care and education programs. Participating programs can earn ratings from one star up to five stars by meeting an extensive list of quality benchmarks.

Wildcats follow one tough league tilt with another By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com One week after facing a Northern Buckeye Conference perennial power in Genoa, Woodmore will go at it again with another perennial power, Eastwood. The only difference this year was that the Wildcats started the season 2-2, while the Comets and Eagles started 1-3. However, the Comets and Eagles played some of the region’s best competition in non-league openers. At this time last year, Eastwood was 3-1 and on its way to a 9-1 record and a spot in the playoffs. Woodmore, meanwhile, was in the midst of an 0-10 season. Now, the Wildcats are coming off a 3314 victory over Otsego. The Eagles, in their fourth game, notched their first win of the season, a 63-8 triumph over Fostoria. Needless to say, this game will probably be closer than the 42-0 victory Eastwood claimed last season. In Woodmore’s last game, quarterback Connor Bringman was at it again, accounting for five touchdowns – three in the air, one on the ground and one by reception – and 288 yards of total offense. Even though Woodmore has barely over 30 players, grades freshman through senior, on its varsity roster, Bringman is finding ways to be an effective signal caller and passer — effective enough to be putting up big numbers for the second year in a row, despite odds against him. In the win over Otsego, D.J. Wellons caught six passes for 96 yards and a touchdown and threw a 34-yard touchdown to Bringman while Conner Haas chipped in with three catches for 94 yards and two scores. The reason for the Wildcats’ turnaround starts with the effort they’ve put forth in practice. “We have won two games because we are playing better football right now than what we were a year ago. I have a coaching staff that believes in what I’m doing and they are doing a fantastic job at getting the players to do what needs to be done,” said Woodmore coach Brian Spicer. “We have stressed over and over to our players — ‘Do your job’— and then we hold them accountable. Jeremy Rowe and Jim McMahon are my coaches – they are the ones that keep after our guys and demand a higher level of performance from them. Those two guys are a big reason why we are playing better right now,” Spicer continued. “Another reason is that the players are starting to believe in what we are doing and getting more confident in their abilities. It’s simple, you win more games when you play better and have confidence. How you get there is the challenge. But for us, it is about teaching fundamentals and demanding nothing less than the best from each player and working every day to get better.” As for the Eagles, they dominated the Redmen, scoring nine touchdowns in as many possessions while running for 246 yards. Running back Cade Boos had 83 yards on the ground and scored three touchdowns while Cooper Comes added two scores on the ground. And quarterback Andrew Caris contributed, completing 5-of-8 passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns. Eastwood just got done with a non-con-

ference schedule that featured a Murderer’s Row of opponents – Start (3-1), Clyde (4-0) and Oak Harbor (2-2). The Spartans, which feature 23 seniors and are projected to win the Toledo City League, defeated Eastwood in a hard-fought game 19-7. The Fliers, a perennial power in Division III, broke a scoreless tie at halftime before pulling away to claim victory; and the Rockets rallied for their 13-7 win. Jerry Rutherford, now in his 34th season as coach of the Eagles, believes his club’s non-conference games prepares them for the Northern Buckeye Conference. “We knew we were replacing a lot of guys (and) we knew we’d play some sophomores, who are a really talented class. We knew those would be tough games for us, but you learn a lot about where you are when you play teams like that,” Rutherford said. “We were ahead 7-6 against Start at halftime, we were ahead of Oak Harbor at halftime, and we were tied with Clyde at halftime. We hung with them, we just weren’t finishing it. “The guys just need varsity experience. Unfortunately, you’re not in a sport where you have a lot of time. If we can get through our first three games healthy, which we did, it would prepare us. There were times when we could have seven sophomores out on the field. We knew it was going to take some time. We go to Fostoria and things started clicking – in nine possessions, we scored nine touchdowns. Our guys stepped up, it definitely helped everything.” Rutherford says there are challeng-

They don’t have many guys, but they play hard. They’re 2-2 and I think they believe in what they’re doing, and that has a lot to do with it. They have some success and you start believe and you can start winning,” Rutherford said. For the Eagles, the best defense could be a good offense that keeps Bringman & Co. off the field. “Our goal is always to not give up the big play — force them to drive the ball,” Rutherford said. “In our games, our offense has to do something to keep them off the field. We want to limit their possessions by driving the football. If we can keep their offense off the field, it would be to our advantage.”

Clay doubles team, Allie Reichert reach league finals By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Talent, experience and leadership are a great combination in sports. The Clay tennis team has all three. The Eagles feature four seniors — Hannah Kuhlman, Allie Reichert, Sara Ulinski and Jessica Takacs — a junior (Alayna Rodriguez) and two freshmen (Mady Arquette and Tori Gallaher) who finished off a regular season with a 12-4 team record and place third in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference tournament. The TRAC tournament saw the Eagles set three school records as they got two players or doubles teams to the finals and won the No. 2 doubles’ title. The duo of Ulinski and Takacs defeated the team from Central Catholic, 6-4, 6-4, to win a league title while Reichert finished second at No. 3 singles. Rodriguez and Gallaher, the other doubles team, finished third. Arquette, who plays first-singles, was fourth and Kuhlman took fifth. It’s been a banner year for Ulinski, Takacs and Arquette. Takacs accumulated a 21-3 record while Ulinski went 20-3, and Arquette, in her first year, finished 22-5. As a club, the Eagles defeated Anthony Wayne, Ottawa Hills, Springfield and Findlay, among others. Losses, have come against some of Northwest Ohio’s best — Perrysburg, Central Catholic, St. Ursula and Notre Dame. What stands out the most to the coach, Walt Ralph, is not his player’s skills or their athletic ability as much as their desire and competitive drive that embodies this group. He’s convinced many of his players can reach the district tournament. “I think that the thing that impresses me most about my seniors is how well they model themselves — the values that we talk about daily is fighting, having great resilience and a willingness to keep working regardless of the results,” said Ralph. “We’ve had a couple of matches where our singles player might come out and struggle in the first set, maybe even lose 6-0, but they continue to work at it and

We’re proud that we’re developing a reputation for being a group of fighters. They’re an athletic bunch that has worked their tails off and worked to be a respected team in the area.” Ralph hopes this year’s season motivates other girls in the school to come out for the team in the future. “If they haven’t had a lot of experience

in tennis, this can be an invitation to them if they’re willing to work hard,” he said. “We’re starting to get lucky and have some athletic girls come our way.” Ralph also credits his younger players, too, like junior Lilly Meier for her play this season. Rodriguez’s partner for the first part of the season, Meier is currently playing on the junior varsity team with Breann Zahel. “Lilly was Alayna’s partner during

the first half of the year,” Ralph said. “She worked hard and improved a ton, but Tori is a really gifted athlete who just started playing tennis — it took her a while to get acclimated to the nuances of tennis. “Tori has taken over in recent weeks. Lilly is someone that we’re counting on to provide depth in the program. One of the advantages to making the switch is Breann and Lilly are playing together and getting some experience as a doubles team and will help us next year on varsity.” Perhaps the unsung hero of the group is Kuhlman, a three-year starter who serves as the captain. Kuhlman and Reichert, who play No. 2 and 3 singles, respectively, have provided leadership. “Hannah moved up from third singles for us and I think she has a real clear sense of what it takes to play against good competition,” Ralph said. “I would say that about Allie, too. “They don’t try to do too much — they realize the value of being consistent and steady and they don’t beat themselves. They have an unbelievable willingness to fight and will give every ounce in a match. “Allie, in particular, when she was younger, she struggled with the emotional part of the sport. We were worried about how she would handle the pressure this year. She’s passed the test with flying colors.” Kuhlman relishes her role as captain this season. “We didn’t have many returning seniors this year and we had a lot of younger players,” she said. “So I tried to bring the girls together as a team and help teach them what I’ve learned in my four years playing tennis at Clay. “I am very proud of what we accomplished. We have come together and won a lot of tough matches. Also, we never quit until the last point and that is how we were taught to play. We finished third in the TRAC Tournament and I think we’ll go far in sectionals.” Despite the fact that they’ll be losing four seniors, the future looks bright because the junior varsity accumulated a 12-3 record this year.

At Stritch High, confidence building on the gridiron

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

You have to block and tackle to win football games, and that’s been our focus.

“

They haven’t exactly set the world on fire through four games, but third-year coach Brian Wical said Cardinal Stritch’s football team could be on the brink of doing some good things. “We feel confident where we are,” Wical said, “as long as we do what we’re supposed to do.” The Cardinals (2-2) haven’t had the best of luck in 2015, but more on that in a minute. Stritch held on for a rain-delayed 2120 victory at Edon last Friday, and it can improve to 2-0 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference with a win this week against Danbury (1-3). “The motivating factor (last week) was starting out 1-0 in the league,” Wical said. “Recently, Stritch hasn’t won a ton of TAAC games in a row. We’re playing Danbury with the potential to be 2-0 in the TAAC for the first time since 2006.” The Cardinals opened the season with a loss to Woodward, which subsequently forfeited the victory for using ineligible players. Next came a 27-26 loss to Hilltop followed by a 34-0 thrashing at the hands of Lakota. Wical knew something good had to happen last Friday, and it did. “The thing we harped on all last week was getting better every day,” he said. “We haven’t had the greatest string of practices in a row. We thought we could compete against Lakota, so we were disappointed with that. We went in last week and said, ‘We’re going to be tough on you guys,’ and last Wednesday was probably our best practice of the season. We came in confident.” After Danbury, Stritch will get another shot at Hilltop, on Oct. 2 at Clay. The two teams’ first meeting was a non-conference game and was scheduled because the Cardinals’ opponent that week, Open Door Christian, discontinued its football program this season. “It’s going to be interesting,” Wical said of the rematch. “They know what we do, and we know what to expect from them. We might tweak a little bit here and there to put ourselves in a better position

Cardinal Stritch senior quarterback Trenton Besgrove prepares to throw. (Press photo by Doug Karns/KateriSchools.org) the second time around. They’re 4-0 and playing good football right now, but we played pretty even with them overall.” Injuries and youth have played key roles in Stritch’s successes and failures so far. Senior Kevin Hohenberger was going to be the starting running back and get the bulk of the carries this season, but he broke his collarbone in the team’s second preseason scrimmage. Senior Grant Curavo, who would have started at receiver and free safety, tore his ACL playing baseball over the summer and was lost for the season. Curavo would have

been a four-year starter. “Kevin would have been our best player,” Wical said. “We’ve been decimated at our running back position. We’ve had to move some guys. After Kevin broke his collarbone, the following Tuesday sophomore Zach Matwiejczyk broke a bone in his hip and he was originally supposed to be out 3-5 weeks. He’s still not back and is out indefinitely.” Wical said senior quarterback Trent Besgrove has been a nice surprise, completing 54.4 percent of his passes for 460 yards and three touchdowns, with five in-

terceptions. Two of Besgrove’s top receivers are freshmen Marvin Ham (12 catches, 99 yards) and Paul Latz (9 for 75). Junior Noah Wolfe leads the team with 16 catches for 141 yards. “One of things we’ve been missing is accuracy from the quarterback position,” Wical said. “We were around 38 percent as a team last year, and it was similar to that the year before. Trent sees the field well and has great escape ability. He has really good vision when he does have to get away and get going.” Senior running back Tanner Langlois, a converted receiver, leads Stritch in rushing with 179 yards and one touchdown on 58 attempts (3.1 average). “He keeps getting better every week,” Wical said. “He was a couple weeks behind, being that he was a receiver. Our freshman wide receivers are doing a really good job for us. Marvin does a great job going across the middle. He catches lot of crossing routes for us and he’s always one step away from breaking a big play. Paul, who also starts at cornerback, is the best screen runner we’ve got. He does a good job of staying on his feet and breaking tackles.” Wical said the defense continues to improve each week. Cousino leads the team with 46 tackles, followed by Wolfe (35) and Adam Bruckner (29, including five for loss). “We still have a knack of having two or three breakdowns in a game, where we give up 20- to 40-yard runs,” Wical said. “That’s gotten better the last two weeks. You have to block and tackle to win football games, and that’s been our focus.”

Cardinals wait through lightning for late-night victory Location, location, location. Cardinal Stritch’s football team found itself in a pickle last Friday night against the host Edon Bombers. It took the Cardinals approximately 90 minutes to make the bus ride to Edon High School, located in Williams County, which borders both the Indiana and Michigan state lines. Had the game been played in Toledo that evening, there was a very good chance that Mother Nature wouldn’t have been a factor in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference game at all. It was a different story at Edon. “With about 3:30 to go in the game, it started lightening,” Stritch coach Brian Wical said. “They put us in a lightening

delay. The storm that went through lasted about two hours. I refused to leave Edon with three minutes to go and have to come back the next day.” So both teams and their fans waited out the storm, with the Cardinals clinging to a 21-20 lead. If they held on, it would

be their first on-field victory of the season (Woodward forfeited its opening-game win over Stritch for using ineligible players). Wical said the game ended close to midnight. “They had just scored a touchdown and went for two and we stopped them,” Wical said. “They onside kicked and got it back and there was a penalty or two, and a hold on first down. They had first-and-32 and completed a 20-yard pass to make it second-and-12. That’s when the lightening happened. They had momentum going their way.” Wical said the staff’s message to the squad during the delay was that the team that came out and played the best three and a half minutes of football was going to prevail. “We came out of the break and were really energized,” Wical said. “We executed pretty well.”

Edon still had the ball when play resumed, but the Cardinals handed the Bombers a 5-yard loss on fourth down. Stritch took over with about 2:40 left and ran the ball for no gain, followed by an Edon timeout. “We ran again and got 2 yards, for third-and-8,” Wical said. “We ran the ball for 3 yards, and on fourth-and-5 we ran the clock down as far as we could, with about 50-some seconds to play.” Wical called for a fake punt on fourth down, from Stritch’s own 48-yard line, and senior punter Andrew Cousino scampered for 7 yards around the end to get the first down. The Cardinals ran out the clock to secure the win. “Andrew made it by just enough,” Wical said. “It was huge. Really cool. The kids were really excited. It kind of felt like we got the monkey off our back a little bit.”

Ohio State — ‘Same old story, same old song and dance’ In My Opinion

by Harold Hamilton

Ohio State's Michael Thomas catches a pass from quarterback J.T. Barrett for a second quarter touchdown. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) string quarterback playing his first games for the Big Ten and national championship, they had to build a brotherhood and cover for each other. No individual was bigger than the team. Some of that is missing this year. It’s tough to keep young men (who are really kids) motivated for long periods of time especially after they finish a season like they had last year. Egos may be getting too big. Second, consider the quarterback controversy that the media loves to hype and probably, with Meyer’s help, its puts considerable stress on Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett. Meyer has commented about this since the game and I agree with him. He said, essentially, he has no desire to lessen the pressure. Every athlete knows that as soon as he fails to perform at a high level a talented backup will replace him. Most of these players want to go on to

the NFL where they could be replaced in a heartbeat for mediocre play. So get used to it. I suggest that those calling for Meyer to name one quarterback and just leave him in the game regardless of the results would sing a different tune if Ezekiel Elliott, Joey Bosa or Darron Lee slacked off. You would be demanding they be replaced. Third, I wonder if the new offensive coordinator, Ed Warinner, has too many duties, needs to be up in the booth or just doesn’t have the talent that Tom Herman, the old coordinator who is now the head coach at Houston, had. There are several things I have learned in being a Buckeye fan. First, they frequently play poorly early in the year. In fact, quite often they don’t really get it together until November. Second, they often get scored on first and many times are behind at the half but

Most of these players want to go on to the NFL where they could be replaced in a heartbeat for mediocre play.

“

If the late Major League baseball hall of famer Yogi Berra had been at Ohio Stadium during the Northern Illinois game, he might have said “This is like déjà vu all over again.” Ohio State looked nothing like the national championship team that wowed and shocked everyone last fall after losing to an unranked Virginia Tech early in the year. Saturday, the Buckeyes played a tough Mid-American Conference team in Northern Illinois. Ohio State won 20-13, but only because NIU could not take advantage of the many opportunities they were given. Ohio State almost always has a weak non-conference schedule starting each season. That’s probably a good thing as they often play poorly early in the year. Last year they even lost to the unranked Virginia Tech. This year, they won their first two games even with poor execution, and along came Northern Illinois, a tough MAC team year-in and year-out (champions in three out of five years). NIU played well but OSU tried hard to give them the game. OSU, the college football team with what many believe are the three best quarterbacks in the nation, and best offensive line, must have had the flu because there is no other excuse. They were very lackluster, especially at quarterback. The quarterbacks threw three interceptions and numerous bad passes. They only had 16 completions out of 29 attempts. The quarterbacks were not the only problem, however. The offensive line had problems opening holes as the team only had 162 yards rushing. Last year, Ezekiel Elliott ran for over 200 in his last three games against the best teams in the country, but could only muster 108 against Northern Illinois. OSU’s third down conversions were also pathetic, converting only 2 of 13 tries. Fortunately, the OSU defense played good enough to keep Ohio State in the game. Enough for the statistics, however. You don’t need numbers to see that something was missing. A fellow photographer at the game said, “The team looks as though they were taken out of the oven before they were done”. A good analysis, I’d say. They didn’t seem to have the fire that is typical of Meyer teams and at times even seemed to be confused. So what do I think is wrong? First, they need some team building. I do not believe every team element was playing the way they did at the end of last year. At the end of last season, with a third

Finally, a big lesson from last year, no matter how “discombobulated” (Meyer’s word) they look, Urban Meyer and his coaches know how to build a team. They don’t get too worried and they’ll be ready for the November game up north. Oh and one more thing — once they let Braxton Miller start throwing we might all get a big surprise. Last year the Buckeye’s loss to Virginia Tech served as a wake-up call and jolted Meyer’s team into to an unbelievable run to the national championship. Let’s hope that the recent series of lackluster play revives this team before it is too late.

Simple challenges, simple goals push Stritch to 9-1 record By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Their goals are simple. Kind of. First-year Cardinal Stritch volleyball coach Angela Hierholzer, a 2006 Stritch grad, said the Cardinals’ objective this season is to win the Toledo Area Athletic Conference title and advance deeper into the postseason than any volleyball team in school history. “We want to make an impression on people,” Hierholzer said. “We want them to talk about us.” Through Wednesday the Cardinals were 9-1 and 8-1 in the TAAC, with their lone loss coming against ninth-ranked (Division IV) Toledo Christian in three sets. The third set ended up 28-26 in the Eagles’ favor last Monday. Stritch also went 1-2 at the Central Catholic Irish Invitational, but Hierholzer said she does not count that in the team’s overall record. Hierholzer, who played for coach Tracy Donnelly at Stritch, was the varsity assistant at Notre Dame Academy the past two years. This year’s squad returned six starters in seniors Lauren Loucks and Madison Moran, and juniors Cassidy Wlodarz, Emily Uher, Kayla McIlhargey and Hailey McCourt. Loucks and Uher, who are both 5-foot-11, are the Cardinals’ tallest players. Hierholzer said she likes what she’s seen from this team so far. “We had a lot of returning players, so that’s very helpful,” she said. “They’ve been working their butts off. They have not had a day off of practice in I don’t know how many weeks. They all get along really well. They never fight and there’s no drama. They all seem like they’re best friends on the court.” The Cardinals hang their hat on strong defensive play, led by Wlodarz, a 5-2 libero.

Fivefoot-11 Cardinal Stritch junior middle hitter Emily Uher (10) slams a kill past two defenders. (Press photo by Doug Karns/ KateriSchools. org) “Cassidy can get any ball you put back there,” Hierholzer said. “She has been on varsity since her freshman year, and she’s ranked 12th in District 4 in passing out of

about 500 other girls. She impresses everybody. Every time we shake hands at the end of a match, the other coaches say, ‘Who’s your libero?’ She’s a very good, very con-

sistent player.” Loucks, who is also a four-year varsity player, “is another main reason we are probably as good as we are,” according to Hierholzer. “She can hit the ball pretty hard,” the coach said. “She can cover a lot of area because she’s tall. Her experience definitely helps her on the court.” Stritch added 5-7 junior right side hitter Hannah Bronikowski to the roster this season. Bronikowski, a transfer from Central Catholic, had to sit out the Cardinals’ first 11 matches due to transfer rules. “Her first match for us was at the Irish Invitational,” Hierholzer said. “She only got to play one game, but she looks good. I coached her during travel volleyball last season, so I knew how she was gonna be.” Two other key players are McCourt, a setter, and senior outside hitter Abby Cronin. “McCourt works her butt off and was hitting on the right side when Hannah couldn’t play,” Hierholzer said. “She ended up being a setter and our hitter, and she is one of our top hitters on the team. We weren’t expecting that to happen, but she’s done a good job. “Abby plays back row and is the most aggressive person on the court. The ball will be on the other side and she’ll run down and get the ball. Very aggressive person.” Hierholzer added that Stritch is poised to challenge for the TAAC title after taking third last year. “I was a little nervous going into the season,” she said, “but once we started practices we felt confident we were going to be pretty good. We weren’t sure why they weren’t this good last year. Now, we don’t expect anything less from them because we know they can do it. We are setting goals high and hoping we do well. So far, it’s worked.

Lake golfers finish second in league race By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Lake finished second in the Northern Buckeye Conference boys golf standings, scoring 41 points to Rossford’s 48. Lake coach Dorian Boggs would have liked to see his team do one better. “We are pleased, but not satisfied, with the second place finish,” Boggs said. “Coming into the season we had our sights set on winning the league but fell short. Finishing second had more to do with Rossford than us. (Rossford) Coach (Del) Clayton always had his team ready to play and they were more consistent than us all year.” Woodmore (35) finished third in the league standings, followed by Genoa (29), Eastwood (27), Elmwood (17), Fostoria (13) and Otsego (5). Lake golfers Owen Johnson (40.1 average) and Jacob Middaugh (43.4) are first team selections. “Both Owen and Jacob have put together solid seasons thus far,” Boggs said. “Owen was one point away from winning the player of the year in the NBC and Jacob earned first team all NBC honors. “Golf is a game that most players are never satisfied with. No matter how well you play you always think about how your round could’ve been a little better. Players tend to dwell on the one short putt that they missed or the one bad iron shot that they hit,” Boggs continued. “Owen and Jacob are both hard on themselves and think that they could have, or should have, played better. However, they’ve both done a great job for us and I’m really proud of them.” The two Lake golfers are joined on the All-NBC first team by Woodmore golfer Austin Berkel (41.8) and Eastwood’s Nick Coffman (42.7). Rossford’s Jackson Murphree is the Player of the Year with a 39.7 average and was medalist at the league tournament, shooting a 77 at Green Hills Golf Course in Clyde. Local NBC second team selections are Lake’s Jarrod Hornyak (42.8), Eastwood’s Tyler Fry (44) and Woodmore’s Mitchell Miller (43.9). Honorable mention choices are Woodmore’s Zach Schmeltz (45.4) and Jay Connor (45.5), Genoa’s Sam Sutter (44.4) and Austin Marley (45.1), and Eastwood’s Brian Selhorst (43.9). Placements are based on points scored in matches, not on golf averages. Elmwood won the girls NBC championship, led by Golfer of the Year Alexis Miller (44.6). Eastwood golfer Jenne Venier (47.3) and Lake golfer Autumn Schmidt (53) are first team. Eastwood was second and Lake fifth. Local second team selections include Genoa golfer Reagan Guthrie (54.5) and Eastwood’s Leigh Snyder (52.9). Eastwood’s Jessica Rice (55.3) is the only local HM choice.

Gyori Player of the Week

"Brooke is our defensive leader," said Owens coach Sonny Lewis. "Her play continues to give our offense more chances to win rallies." In conference play last week, Gyori had 25 digs against Lakeland Community College. Aside from her digs, she added 10 assists and eight aces overall last week. Owens (15-5 overall, 6-0 OCCAC) has received a team-high 331 digs from Gyori this year, which averages out to 4.87 digs per set. She also leads her team in aces with 45 and is third in assists with 32. ( — by Nicholas Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information)

Brooke Gyori (Clay), a freshman defensive specialist for the Owens Community College women's volleyball team, has been named the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference player of the week. Gyori totaled 120 digs over five matches last week. En route to 24 digs per match, the freshman set a new season-high with 35 against No. 8 Des Moines Area Community College on Sept. 18. She had at least 17 digs in all five matches and at least 20 in four of the five. Owens played a tough schedule as they also faced No. 3 Johnson County and No. 11 Kirkwood.

Love always, your family

Happy 50th Anniversary

Merlyn & Jean Weng September 28th

Love, Your family

Tasha, Here you are with your brother. I know he misses you and loves you very much. He doesn’t really say much but I know he does. You would be so happy for him. He met his new wife, Jessica, and you would have loved her. He just got married January 24, 2015. He is very happy; mom is too for him! I wish so much you could have been here. We love you! We miss you forever! Mom, Sean Grandpa Joe, Grandma Madison Jr., Jessica

“HER SMILE makes us smile, HER LAUGH is infectious, HER HEART is pure and true, ABOVE ALL We love that she is OUR DAUGHTER!” God bless you always! We are so proud of you and love you very much! Mom, Dad and Nate

Mickey left paw prints on our hearts Mickey ~ 16 years, 7 months I miss his smile, the wag of his tail, his whine, taking our walks in the a.m., barking for his food, his love of the outdoors, the wind in his face, and how he loved to run around the table when someone chased him. No matter what he did, I loved him. Words cannot express how much I miss him. R.I.P. my beloved companion. On September 14, at 11:31 p.m. he slept away in the arms of Cari. Thank you Cari. Missed by myself His brothers Tom, John, Bruce Sister Sue Grandchildren & great grandchildren
