Coach resigns, investigation continues By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Woodmore assistant football coach Todd Bringman, accused by parents of abusing players, has resigned. Parents of a 16-year-old say their son suffered a concussion and may have nerve damage after the team practiced in excessive heat on Sept. 10. They describe a drill allegedly conducted by the coach in which the sophomore was told to stand with his hands behind his back while teammates were instructed to hit him, but the coach’s supporters say those parents may have the facts incorrect. The school board announced Bringman’s resignation during a special meeting Wednesday. “We had a meeting afterwards in executive session and talked about where we are going to move on from here and what we need to get done,” school board member Steve Huss said. “We talked to some parents afterwards last night. That investigation, I’m afraid, is still going to be ongoing because there are other factions involved now, and I don’t know what is going to happen. Hopefully, we can get this to rest sooner than later.” At the conclusion of the executive session, Huss read the following statement issued by the board — “The district is continuing its review of the events surrounding the varsity football practice on September 10, 2013 with a view to implementing any needed changes and/ or adopting any new and improved policies and practices. “The board has instructed the high school principal and the athletic director with the responsibility to engage the football coaching staff to undertake a comprehensive review of any such modifications or improved practices. The board remains committed to the district’s over-arching objective that all studentathletes can participate in athletics that are safe, enjoyable and fulfilling, and promote the ideals of good sportsmanship and teamwork that will assist our students in

Bihn says: Algae in lake ongoing threat By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon Councilwoman Sandy Bihn expressed concerns about the increased threat of harmful blue green algae in Lake Erie, particularly its connection to microcystin, a toxin recently found near the intake of Carroll Township’s water plant. The toxin, which can damage the liver, was found at levels of 3.56 parts per billion in samples taken from the township plant, which is 3.5 times higher than the level for drinking water set by the World Health Organization. The plant was shut down for days as a result. The growing algae in Lake Erie, which is partially connected to runoff of phosphorus fertilizer from farms, has long been a concern to environmentalists. “It’s somewhat alarming,” Bihn, a western Lake Erie waterkeeper, said at a council meeting last Monday. “The life of it seems to be longer than we thought. We thought it was just with the algae, but it appears to stay longer. I know we’re treating it, I know we’re doing everything we can. Oregon has been a leader in that. But it is a serious matter. And at some point, we have got to start turning the corner, if you will,

Anytime that subject comes up, I take it every seriously.

from the problems that we’re having because it’s a continuing threat.” She read a quote from a story in an Akron newspaper that described algotoxins as being as “harmful as cobra venom or cyanide.” Although there has been no detection of toxic levels of microcystin in Oregon’s water plant, Bihn said there is still reason for concern. “We really don’t know sometimes what exactly this will do in the future to a shallow body of water like Lake Erie. As I look at the foam and the suds out there day after day in the green water, it’s pretty sobering,” said Bihn, who lives on Bay Shore Road. “I just want to make sure we continue to do everything we can and we continue to

support programs that will help out. Looks like banning fertilizer, manure and biosolids on frozen ground might be one way to help in the short run. But it’s a pretty serious threat.” In 2010, the city acquired its own testing equipment to quickly detect algae toxins in the water after the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) conducted tests and found very low levels of microcystin in the finished (treated) water in Oregon and Carroll Township. “Mrs. Bihn is correct,” said Councilman James Seaman. But he said the city is doing its best to maintain the quality of its drinking water. “It’s daunting the number of groups that are working to keep Lake Erie clean,” said Seaman. “It just seems like it’s going to be a very difficult battle. We need to be as proactive as we can.” “Anytime that subject comes up, I take it every seriously,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. “It’s such a big regional problem. We do in the city set the trend for others to try and address that issue. When we came before council in 2010 to request the funding for the equipment to do the testing, and put it into service, it’s because we anticipated

Algae Continued from front page things like this. We wanted to keep our water supply safe. And if other innovations come up in the future, where we can try to assure our plant runs with top quality water, we will be coming before council again. But I want to emphasize we are showing zero on the toxins.” Bihn said she recently discussed algae and drinking water issues in London, Ontario, and learned that Canada has a source water protection program, which is comparable to the Clean Water Act in the United States. “You actually track your source water to treat before it gets into the plant and you watch it over time to see if it is getting better or worse,” said Bihn. “The problem is we’re treating it and we’re doing everything we can to address the problem, and it’s working well. However, it costs us more to treat. And year after year, if that problem keeps getting worse, is there a tipping point? Hopefully, we can always treat it. But if it is getting worse and worse, then we need to find a way to make the quality of water that we treat better and have better quality of water coming into the intake, and have less cost to treat that waste and the algae that is now present and is a problem. So source water protection is one way of looking at it. If the numbers continue to go up, then we really need to get more aggressive about making sure we turn that corner.”

developing into responsible young adults. “For those of you that have a sense of satisfaction or those who have called other area coaches, you need to refocus your energy towards positive support of this district and its students. These are the types of things that continue to hold us back as a community and a school system.” The school district is keeping details of the alleged incident confidential until its investigation is complete. The investigation includes interviews with student-athletes who were at the practice field. The boys’ parents and a close friend told The Press that after practicing in the record 97 degree heat, the sophomore was unresponsive and showing signs of paralysis when he arrived home and on the way to the hospital. The parents were told that their son took a hard hit in practice and received the attention of a trainer. A senior football player drove the 16-yearold, who has his temporary license, home from practice. The parents drove their son to St. Charles Mercy Hospital in Oregon and then he was transported by ambulance to St. Vincent’s Mercy Medical Center in Toledo. They were told that their son can never play contact sports again.

The parents asked The Press to keep their name and their son’s name confidential until the school’s investigation and their son’s medical testing has been completed. After the resignation was announced, the father told The Press, “I’m just going to follow what I’ve been doing. I’m not going to make a comment at this point, trying to let the process take its course and let them finish their investigation.” Since the story in last week’s edition of The Press, several parents, faculty members, and family members have responded in support of Bringman. Bringman’s mother, Rebecca Migliori, told The Press, “I know exactly who he is and he is a very dedicated young man. He’s

being accused falsely. “These people have been after Todd during baseball, and now its football season and they can’t stand it that he is a good kid. But, you can tell them that Rebecca Migliori is after their heads because I am not going to tolerate this. “If I had felt for one minute that Todd did something wrong, I would be the first to say, ‘Todd, this is not right.’ He is not this kind of kid. It’s not just because I’m his mother. I know this young man,” Migliori continued. “He built a pole barn with a batting cage in it for the high school ballplayers. He’s no riff-raff. I’m telling you it’s a witchhunt — that is exactly what it is. If they gave 15 minutes of their time, but they are not— they are not giving anything to the school except a bunch of lip service. I’m not going to tolerate it and I’m not going to let it go. He won’t ever go back to coaching again.” The Wildcats started the season 31, outscoring their first three non-league opponents Port Clinton, Cardinal Stritch Catholic, and Tiffin Calvert by a combined score of 159-27. The Wildcats opened Northern Buckeye Conference action losing to Eastwood, 40-12, before facing off against Lake last Friday night.

Board OKs sale of Graytown school building By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press The shuttered Graytown Elementary School building is finding a new life in the local education world. Benton-Carroll-Salem Board of Education members Tuesday unanimously approved an $8,000 purchase agreement to sell the building to Northpoint Educational Service Center. The center, once known as a county educational service, is based in Sandusky and operates out of several regional sites, offering support services to 27 school districts, including gifted education programs, curriculum development, parent programming and media relations. “Are we done with this?� board member Kim Dusseau asked. Superintendent Guy Parmigian said the Northpoint board would meet Oct.7 to review the purchase agreement. BCS administrators closed Graytown Elementary, along with Carroll Elementary and Rocky Ridge Elementary, over the last few years in a series of cost-cutting measures to keep the central Ottawa County school district operating in the black. The financial upheaval came in the wake of a fiscal storm created by the reces-

sion, real estate foreclosures, state funding losses and less tax revenue from the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant in Carroll Township. The district sold Rocky Ridge Elementary more than a year ago at auction for $5,000. And the BCS school board recently made a deal to sell Carroll Elementary to the trustees of Carroll Township, which has a township hall and police station adjacent to the school property. The closures forced district officials to operate with only one elementary school. As a result, administrators had to reconfigure the grade level structure at buildings and busing schedules. Currently, students in grades kindergarten through third grade attend R.C. Waters Elementary on the east side of the village of Oak Harbor. Fourth through seventh grade attend Oak Harbor Middle School and the upperclassmen (grades 8 to 12) attend Oak Harbor High School.

Calvin United Church of Christ is celebrating 110 years in the ethnic Hungarian Birmingham neighborhood of East Toledo. More than 110 years ago, immigrants from Hungary were flooding into Toledo. Fleeing the spread of fascism and Nazism, Hungarians arrived in America, and eventually settled in cities like Toledo in search of a better life for themselves and their families. Many of them arrived as skilled tradesmen and women, worked as bricklayers, steelworkers and machinists. Others were skilled seamstresses, embroiderers and bakers. They came as Protestant and Catholic alike, looking for better lives. What they did not know at that time was that they would significantly help to build a city from trades they learned from their “mother country.â€? Many of the Hungarians who arrived brought a vision of faith. In 1903, a small group of committed Hungarian Protestants gathered on the East side of Toledo to build a church. The Magyar ReformĂĄtus EgyhĂĄz—The Hungarian Reformed Church of Toledo was formed. The vision from the forebears of Calvin United Church to build up and train young people in their faith continues today. As the church celebrates the oldest and largest Vacation Bible School in Toledo beginning at Calvin in 1904 or 1905, today the church celebrates the training of one of its own, Juli Bertalan, who is in the process of discernment for Christian ordination in April 2014. The celebration of 110 years in Birmingham will occur Sunday, Sept. 29 with two services of worship at Calvin United Church of Christ, 1946 Bakewell St., Toledo. The first will highlight the church’s past. The Rev. Imre Bertalan and Juli Bertalan will co-preach at 10:45 a.m. Special music will include Ron Szilagye, saxophonist. A 3 p.m. service will highlight the future vision of the church. The Rev. Mary Wood will preach. Special music will include “Revamped,â€? a violin duo from State College, Pa. A traditional Hungarian Dinner will follow.

Lane restrictions Beginning the week of Oct. 7, single-lane restrictions will start on the Anthony Wayne Bridge as crews put safety platforms in place. The restrictions will be in effect through December. A 19-month closure of the bridge – from the spring of 2014 through 2015 – is planned as a $28.7 million project proceeds, including re-decking the bridge, replacing truss end spans, rehabilitation of the substructure, installing new street lights and rebuilding the sidewalks, railings and fence.

Clay Twp. neighbors dispute protection order case By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Sixth District Court of Appeals has agreed to a motion filed by a Clay Township man to let the Ohio Supreme Court review the court’s decision that upholds a civil stalking protection order against him.

The appeals court agreed to the motion by Tony Simon that its decision in August – when it upheld a protection order issued by the Ottawa County Common Pleas Court - conflicts with decisions of several other appellate courts in the state. The protection order was sought by Dorothy Fondessy for herself and her husband, who are neighbors of Simon on N.

Genoa-Clay Center Road. The Ohio Constitution directs appeals court judges – when a judgment that addresses the same issue conflicts with a judgment by any other appeals court – to “certify the record of the case to the supreme court for review and final determination.” “Accordingly, we find that there is a conflict with our decision…and the deci-

sions of the Seventh, Fourth and Ninth District Courts of Appeals…on the issue of whether Revised Code…requires a victim to actually experience mental distress or only believe that the stalker will cause the victim physical harm or mental distress, for a court to issue a CSPO,” the Sixth District court wrote in its opinion. The Sixth District Court noted in its earlier decision it has consistently held that state law doesn’t “require that the victim actually experience mental distress, but only that the victim believes the stalker would cause mental distress or physical harm” to justify the issuance of a protection order. A majority of the appeals courts follow that interpretation, the ruling says. The Ohio Supreme Court has set three requirements for a case to be certified: judgments conflict with other appeals court decisions on the same question; the alleged conflict must be on a rule of law, not facts of the case, and the opinion of the appeals court must clearly state the law which is in conflict with other courts’ decisions. The Fondessys had filed a motion against that filed by Simon. The protection order went into effect in November 2011 and directs Simon to stay at least 25 feet away from the Fondessys and not have any contact with them. The order is in effect for five years. A property line dispute between the parties was resolved with a survey but confrontations between Simon and Dorothy Fondessy continued, according to court documents. In April, Simon filed a lawsuit in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court against the township police chief and a patrol officer, alleging malicious persecution. That lawsuit, which is still pending, also names the Fondessys as defendants.

Rivera targets 5th and 6th grades for improvement Oregon City Schools Superintendent Lonny Rivera vowed to improve next year’s state report card by focusing on ways to help fifth and sixth graders do better in math, science and reading. The state last month released the results of the report card, which is a new evaluation system for school districts this year. Instead of an overall grade for districts, the new system gives grades in nine categories. The report card shows that the Oregon City Schools district, which has a student enrollment of 3,853, received two B’s, three C’s, a D, and three F’s. “It’s been a group effort to try and decipher everything in the state report card. We are not at all satisfied with where we have come out on this report card,” Rivera said at a school board meeting on Sept. 24. Fifth and sixth grade students failed all tests under the Progress category of the report card. “I don’t want to beat up fifth and sixth grade teachers at all. I’m coming from a district, where I worked previously, with the same concerns and weaknesses - in the fifth and sixth grades. And there’s a pattern in many different areas throughout the state.

to be. The one thing we are pushing is that we’re not going to shy away from what we have to do, but yet we’re also going to make sure we build up our individuals, and our teachers and administrators, so they know we have so many good things that are taking place at this point and we’re going to keep going in that direction. We’re going to get there.” He said the reconfiguration of grades five, six, seven and eight, starting this school year, will help improve the report card for next year. The reconfiguration moved fifth and sixth grade students into the Eisenhower Intermediate School, and seventh and eighth grade students into Fassett Junior High. It allows teachers more time to collaborate and plan together, and is expected to improve student test scores. “We’re collaborating, intervening, everyone is under one roof to focus our efforts,” said Rivera, who became the district’s new superintendent in August. “Before I even began the job, we had staff members meeting to totally map their curriculum from the beginning of the year to the end. That says a lot about their commitment. They were working hard and know the importance of making sure that all of us are on the same page, trying to move forward, and get the content covered. As you know, we’re also going through the common core, and all this stuff is unravel-

ing when we’re also trying to put in new standards for teacher evaluation, principal evaluation, and reconfiguration.” Performance Index The district received a B, or 97 out of 120 points, in the Performance Index category, which measures test results of every student, not just those who score proficient or higher. The higher the achievement level, the more points are awarded in the district’s index. This rewards schools and districts for improving performance. “The general rule of thumb is if you’re over 100 points, that’s basically where you want to be. That’s how the old designation for Excellent used to be – over the 100 mark. We have some room to grow on that. The goal is we’re going to be higher than that 97 for sure for next year,” he said. The district received a C, or 75 percent, under the Indicators Met category, which measures how many students have passed the state tests at a minimum level, called proficient or higher. Only fifth graders failed to meet a minimum level in reading, math and science. Sixth and seventh graders failed math. Next year, a minimum of 80 percent of students in Ohio must pass in order to meet an indicator. “It’s going to be a little more difficult for districts across the area to make sure they’re hitting that 80 degree mark. So this is just a taste,” said Rivera. When looking at the Progress category, there were “some bright areas,” he said. “For fourth and eighth grade students, we had big growth in both reading and math,” he said. In the seventh grade, there were “overall gains.” Gifted students received a C grade in value added data, which measures growth. Rivera said the grade is somewhat deceptive, since gifted students are already at a high achievement level. “A C means they’ve made at least one year’s growth. That tends to be harder for any district because they’re already so high. We’re very happy that we had that C. Many districts didn’t do that, but we did,” he said. He also addressed the F grade in the Progress category given to students with disabilities in the district. “When people see an F, they automatically will assume the worst about the entire district. There are a number of students within that who are also doing well. We have to get out there in front of the public and let them know – that the sky’s not falling. By no means are we ever going to hide behind anything to say we don’t’ have to improve. We do and we will,” said Rivera. He said more co-teaching will hopefully improve the grade. School board member Carol Molnar added that there are no longer waivers issued to certain special education students from taking the tests. “Now everyone takes it. Even if they just sit in a wheel chair and don’t respond to anything. They still have to take that test,” said Molnar. “Also, the state, I think unfairly, only allows one percent of our students to be alternately assessed,” said Rivera. “We have over one percent. We do have a few students who really have a rough way to go. Taking a test is just not something in their repertoire. We hold high standards for all kids. But there comes a point where common sense needs to come in play.”

Propane explosions raise awareness of safety issues By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com It has taken two Northwest Ohio propane explosions that took three lives to get people to start focusing on furnace safety issues. “Many furnaces and boilers have been neglected, and that’s the truth. I don’t do very many preventive-maintenance calls, as I should because people are trying to save a buck,� said Tom Deitemyer, owner of Johnnie’s Electric & Heating Service, Elmore. In the first explosion, a house near Stony Ridge exploded in the early morning hours, taking the lives of Jahn M. Richards, 63, and her son Andrew Schulte, 37. Injured were Jahn’s son Nicholas Schulte, 34 along with her husband James Richards, 63, and Desiree Gonyer, 34. The Troy Township fire department was dispatched at 5:07 a.m. to the home at 23415 Stony Ridge Road. Fire departments from Pemberville and Lake Township and emergency medical service units from Perrysburg Township assisted. The Stony Ridge explosion sent debris a half mile away and at about 5 a.m. woke up neighbors. Investigators hadn’t determined what caused the explosion at the Troy Township home, but did find evidence of a propane gas leak.

The gas leaks occur when a non-qualified, untrained person attempts these projects. Michael Richardson, Troy Township’s emergency medical services director, said crews were at the scene until 3:30 p.m. Victims were taken by LifeFlight to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center. Wednesday, St. John’s Lutheran Church held visitation and funeral services. A day later, a church secretary told The Press they were considering a fundraiser, partnering with an insurance company, to help the victim’s with medical costs and recovery. On the same day as the funeral for the two Stony Ridge victims, a similar explosion near Liberty Center took a woman’s life. Now heating and cooling experts say they are getting increased phone calls from area residents who want to have their furnaces serviced, which they say is a good thing. Recognizing the signs Chuck Westenbarger of Wojo’s A/C Heating and Plumbing, Northwood, says residents need to recognize the signs of potential gas leaks.

“Propane is heavier than air, so it kind of pockets and stays more dangerous longer and that the best thing people can do is have their furnaces checked and their appliances checked to make sure they have no leaks,� Westenbarger said. “I don’t think we hear about them as much as we have because these are kind of close to home, but I think it’s basically the biggest thing people can do is if they smell that rotten egg smell, don’t just ignore it. Take action. Nothing is too frivolous. You don’t want to say, ‘Well, it could just be a pilot light.’ Well, it could not be, so make sure you have somebody check that out for you,� Westenbarger continued. Deitemyer says while these two events are tragic, he doesn’t want people to think service companies are trying to profit from them. He even knew Jahn Richards, who, like himself, graduated from Woodmore High School. But, Deitemyer says, this has been a wake-up call. He says people need to be educated on the dangers. “I don’t want to scare people and I don’t want to work on the fear factor. They are already scared,� Deitemyer said. “It’s sad. It’s not that I’m trying to capitalize on it.� Deitemyer and Westenbarger both say as people start furnaces each fall they should be concerned about gas leaks, equipment failure, and carbon monoxide

Rouen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram reveals new facility

Workplace Rouen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will unveil its new facility October 1. According to spokesperson Nicole Hopkins, the new building has doubled in size to 20,000 square-feet and features a larger showroom for displaying new vehicles and a bigger and more comfortable customer waiting area with features like free Wi-Fi, a children’s play area, 65 inch HD TV, and a cafe with coffee and snacks. Customers can also browse a parts and accessories display while waiting for their vehicle. Customer parking has also been upgraded. Owner Mike Rouen said “We feel our customers deserve this type of shopping experience and we hope they enjoy these enhancements�. The service department’s upgrades include an enclosed service drive to keep customers comfortable during inclement weather.

poisoning. “Now you need to do this for both carbon monoxide and safety,� Deitemyer said. “We’re trying to hit two things here — we’re going to check both of them if we are going to do a service call.� He says with the current economic situation, many people either neglect their furnaces, or, to save money, try to repair and install heating equipment and water heaters themselves. And, because gas leaks are very rare, people believe they are getting away with it. He says usually very old iron and copper lines hold pressure, unless they are very old or corroded. “The gas leaks occur when a nonqualified, untrained person attempts these projects,� Deitemyer said. “They might not have proper testing equipment, or don’t have the training a professional technician has.� He says an unqualified technician often by-passes the safeties to get the equipment running and not try to find out why the safety failed. “Safeties have been by-passed and that’s probably what happened in both of these (explosions), I would bet,� Deitemyer said. “These things don’t just normally occur — somebody has messed with it. “Well, you can’t put your family’s lives at risk just to save a dollar,� Deitemyer continued. “Some people don’t look that far down the line. Ninety-five percent of my service calls are usually because the safety has failed and it won’t let the furnace start, or maybe the safety is doing its job, and this is where the people by-pass it, and there is more of a problem there than just that safety. They don’t normally fail. If a pressure switch goes out, it’s probably because of a plugged chimney, and now they have carbon monoxide. “You are most certainly buying a piece of mind knowing your furnace and water heater are burning effectively and safely,� Deitemyer added. “This should be done yearly. Yearly service contracts can be purchased. You take your car in for a check-up. You should do the same with your heating equipment.�

Lewis & Clark

Advocate for Oregon senior levy seeks support By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Robert Marquette, president of the board of Oregon’s senior center on Bay Shore Road, sought support from the Oregon school board for passage of the 0.5mill, five year levy on the ballot to fund senior citizen service. As a member of the pro-levy group “Oregon Citizens Supporting Senior Services,” Marquette emphasized at a recent Oregon school board meeting that the levy revenue would fund the expansion of services available at the current center, the James “Wes” Hancock Senior center, on Bay Shore Road. It would not go toward building a new senior center. “Today, our seniors are more active than the seniors we used to know,” he said. “As we age, our senior community is more vibrant. We don’t want to retire and sit in a

rocking chair. We want more than golf. We are lacking services.” The senior center, he said, has fewer dollars coming in. “In our community we have a senior center that has been operating on a nearly skeletal budget. Ten years ago, we had a budget that was $10,000 more than what we have today. We have lost dollars through grants, the Area Office on Aging, and the state and federal government.” The center currently has a budget of $127,000, about 11 percent less than last year, he said. “We have fundraisers. But fundraisers just don’t cut it anymore,” he said. “If the community supports this, we can become independent from needing to go to our federal and state government, and have senior services we can afford independently right here in Oregon.” The money would add services helpful to seniors, he said.

Attendees will have the opportunity to take a journey along the Lewis and Clark Trail with Meriwether Lewis, portrayed by Tim Kreps, and William Clark, portrayed by Alan Thompson. The pair take on the personas of the famous explorers through journals, clothing and period artifacts, telling the tales of Lewis and Clark’s incredible experiences on the 8,000-mile journey. Following the presentation, there will be a brief business meeting of the Battlefield Commission, and an update on plans to open the battlefield to the public. Those planning to attend should RSVP by emailing evadwest@buckeyeexpress.com or call 419-340-6039.

He noted that seniors have also been involved in reading classes in grade schools and “give back to the community.” “We just need the opportunity and the dollars to institute these types of services where we can work with everyone else in the community,” he said. Board President P.J. Kapfhammer said he would personally vote for the levy. “I do support Oregon and things that improve the city,” said Kapfhammer. “But it’s tough for [the board] because the same people, the senior segment, are the same people who say `No more levies. We can’t afford it. We’re on fixed incomes. We’re going to lose our homes.’ So it cuts both ways. There’s nothing we’d rather do than work hand in hand with the senior community. But within the next year or year and a half, we’re going to need a levy, too. We’ve lost a lot – over 20 percent of our budget. I support the senior community.”

As parents we send our children to school with the expectation that the teachers, administrators and coaches will care for them, as if they were their own, while under their supervision. This includes during extracurricular activities, while on the practice fields and during sporting events. However, it appears, based on what has been reported to this point, that some, if not all of those with whom we placed our trust, have failed us miserably. We acknowledge the risks associated with high school athletics, however, it is inconceivable that a student could receive what may be a career-ending injury while participating in drills on the practice field. Even more inconceivable is that there are those who expect us to believe that this injury was the result of some spur of the moment activity concocted by an assistant coach outside the knowledge of the head coach. In sports, high school and beyond, nothing happens on the practice field without the sanctioning of the head coach and to suggest otherwise is an insult to the in-

telligence of the reader. How are we to get to the bottom of what took place causing this student’s injury? The school’s answer is to conduct an internal investigation. I would submit that the only way to get a fair investigation is through the use of an independent person from outside the administration. Anything short of that will be viewed as biased. Remember, this is the same administration that said a trainer examined the student following the practice and deemed him to be fine. It took one of his fellow players to recognize that there was something wrong and drive the injured student home. A member of the school board said it is difficult for students to be questioned about these events. Getting to the bottom of what happened and preventing a future injury is what is important and if that is difficult for some, then so be it.

Discouraged? Stay in the game to avoid guaranteed failure Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden Fear can drive you out of the game. Fear of failure, fear of adversity, fear of problems, fear of obstacles, and fear of the unknown are all debilitating. Fear has the potential to be all consuming to the point of attitudinal paralysis. Fear is a learned behavior which you can conquer. People get out of the game because they worry about all of the potentially bad things that are possible if they stay in. Worry is like being in rocking chair; it’s a lot of activity that doesn’t get you anywhere. You do yourself a tremendous disservice by al-

Feeling discouraged can make you feel like giving up.

Failure only occurs when you give up. Yet, many people consider giving up an option. Not everything you do will work as expected. However, if you get out of the game, the result is guaranteed failure. Life is great but it is not perfect. There are challenges, obstacles, setbacks, pitfalls, and problems. The unexpected often occurs at the most inopportune times. Frustration is a normal emotion. Feeling discouraged can make you feel like giving up. Although it may be a common reaction, don’t give in to it. Failure is assured only when you give up. When feeling discouraged, step back and reassess. You might need a different approach, a revised strategy, more time, or an adjustment of your goals. There is a difference between trying to accomplish a goal and being determined to do so. Trying is actually a back door to failure. It enables you to say, “Well, at least I gave it a try” in order to excuse your giving up and leaving the game. When there is a goal you want to accomplish, you need an attitude of “I will do this.” This activates your determination. Your mindset becomes one of, “I’ll do what it takes to get this done,” instead of, “I’ll give it a try and see what happens.” Without determination, you are likely to get out of the game after the first setback. Leaving the field is an attractive path of least resistance. Although watching from the sidelines gives the illusion of avoiding additional failures, it in fact guarantees failure because you are now out of the game. Difficulty can be discouraging. It’s easy to use it as justification for sitting on the sidelines. Anything in life worth achieving requires effort. Success is never found on the easy road. Playing it safe is a barrier to achieving your dreams. Obstacles will be encountered when you stay in the game. This is a good thing. Without obstacles to overcome there is no growth, no learning, no achievement, and little satisfaction. As you progress along your path, the obstacles you encounter will become more challenging. This is normal and to be expected. If you are not being challenged, you are on the wrong road.

lowing worry to drive you to the sidelines. Replace worry with action. Stay in the game by being proactive. Activity displaces worry. Busy people just don’t have time for it. Instead of fixating on all that could

go wrong, focus on the joy you will experience when you achieve your goals. Persistence keeps you in the game. Whenever you stumble or fall, get right back up and keep going. Tap into your drive and desire. If your goals don’t excite you, pick different goals. When you have a burning desire, you won’t be deterred. Leaving the game will not be an option. You win by advancing along your path to success which happens only when you stay in the game. Keep your eye on your goal and keep progressing towards it.

Tragedy strikes three generations in family, benefit set Any one of Tricia Dorring’s three hardships would be difficult, but having to face all three at the same time has motivated family and friends to rally for emotional and financial support. Tricia’s first challenge came in December when her son, Alexander, 5, was diagnosed with glomerular disease. The disease inflames the tiny filters in the kidneys and can lead to kidney failure. There are a number of causes, but, to date, no one knows why her son has blood in his urine. Doctors have ordered blood drawn “six dozen times,” Tricia said. The process is as painful for her to watch as it is for her son to endure. She said it once took five people to hold him down. The tests, the constant worry about her son’s future health and frustration have, at times, played havoc with Tricia’s emotions. “They can’t treat it. They can only treat its cause which they can’t find. They’ve done two biopsies and still can’t find the cause,” she said. Glomerular disease can be a side effect of a common infection like strep throat. It can also be inherited and Alexander is currently being tested for Alport syndrome, a condition that affects males more severely than females and can cause vision and hearing impairment. Alexander attends Discovery Academy on the campus of Notre Dame in Toledo. He cannot play sports and has to be careful not to take a blow to the kidneys. Eight months after negotiating through the medical and insurance professions on behalf of her son, the East Toledo mother, age 34, found herself doing the same thing for her own health. On July 28, Tricia felt a lump in her breast. That led to an ultrasound, a mammogram, a biopsy and surgery on Sept. 9 to remove two tumors and lymph nodes in one breast. She awaits a second surgery scheduled

Page Two by John Szozda for Oct. 21. That will entail a bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction followed by chemo. One month after finding that lump, Tricia was hit with her third tragedy. Her father Franklin Dorring, 63, was driving his motorized wheelchair across Navarre Avenue near Coy when he was hit by a teen driving to Walmart to buy school supplies. Frank Dorring lived 12 hours after the accident and Tricia visited him in the hospital. She vividly remembers the way hospital personnel covered her father’s broken body so she wouldn’t see it. “They only showed me from about his nose down to

his chin and the one hand. Other than that, he was covered. His whole left side was broke. Both his hips were broke, his left leg, his pelvis, his arm, his face, his whole left side.” Her father lived in Zanesville but moved here to be with family and undergo treatment for end-stage emphysema at a Sylvania rehab center. Upon his release on July 2, he moved into Amberwood Apartments in Oregon. Tricia said her father went to a party story at the corner of Navarre and Coy to buy cigarettes. As there are no sidewalks along that stretch of Navarre, he crossed the street at night without the benefit of a crosswalk. By the time the accident occurred, Tricia was struggling financially. She took a $1,000 advance from her bank to pay for cremation. While she has insurance through the University of Toledo where she works in the print shop, she has exhausted her paid sick time and is using unpaid time

through the Family Medical Leave Act. She was off work two weeks for her first surgery and will be off eight weeks for her upcoming one. So, her friends and family have organized two benefits to help with living expenses and deductibles. The first was a scrambles golf outing, the second is a day at the Pioneer Inn Saturday, Oct. 29, Noon to 9. Her mother, Jacquie Dorring, owns the Perrysburg restaurant where customer Al Collins is organizing a poker run, silent auction and a night of live music. There will be three bands, 50/50 raffles, door prizes and a silent auction. Another customer who does karaoke for the inn, Jerry Sandford, organized the scrambles event. Janet Shaffer, Tricia’s childhood friend, is also helping. The two grew up in the same East Toledo neighborhood and have remained close. Janet babysits Alexander and Tricia’s other son, Andrew, 2. She also takes them to day care when needed. “It’s been hard,” Janet says. “There are times she’s broken down and I’ve gotten a phone call, but we’ve managed so far… That’s what friends do, step up. I know she’d do it for me.” Jacquie said her daughter has displayed a lot of resiliency in the past month. Tricia says her hardships have been lightened by her family and friends. “There’re a lot of good people out there that are kind of shocking me right now. A lot of people are standing up and showing they’re with me.” If you can’t make the Oct. 19 benefit, you can donate by mailing a check to Tricia Dorring, c/o The Pioneer Inn, 6751 Fremont Pike Rte. 20, Perrysburg, OH 43551, or call Jacquie at 419-837-2800.

essage of the

An Old Testament figure who struggles with God only argumentatively, his case against God is a pretty good one. By God's own admission, Job is the most upright man on earth, and yet, God allows Satan to take everything from Job, including his property, his family and even his health, over a wager with Satan. And thus Job calls God to account for this. The very fact that the Book of Job is in the Bible seemingly attests to the fact that God admires those who would question and challenge Him. The standard, "pious" interpretation of the Book of Job is

Oregon

eek: Wrestling with God that Job never questions his faith in God, but patiently endures the many afflictions sent his way. However, careful reading of this challenging book actually reveals that the majority of the book is devoted to Job challenging God's justice, and as it were, wrestling with God. Sometimes, our prayers can be a challenge to God - and God is alright with that. He's certainly big enough to handle any challenge. Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. - R.S.V. Job 7.11

Woodmore student finds Africa mission trip enlightening By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com For most of us, traveling to Africa on a humanitarian mission is nothing more than something we hear about other people doing. But for 16-year-old Woodville resident Clark Jividen, that was a reality last summer. Just a few months ago, Jividen, an only child who lives with his mother, Carol, and father, Jim, traveled with his aunt and uncle to Kenya to visit their daughter, Laura Karangi. “I’d never even left the country,” Jividen said. “It was a completely different world over there. It’s a whole new world and you see just how good we have it over there. “It’s heartbreaking. You see the poverty over there; there are some bad places,” he said. There are sewage problems and people living in houses made out of tin with no bathrooms. (Some people) are living in their own trash and filth. But it’s not all like that.” Karangi, 31, a native of Blissfield, Mich., has been doing mission work in Africa since she was 12. She is married to a native Kenyan and they have one child and live in Nairobi, the nation’s capital. In 2008, she founded a non-profit organiza-

Woodmore High School sophomore Clark Jividen getting up-close-and-personal with “a girl he met in Africa,” as he likes to tell people. tion called Redeeming Africa’s Hope. The mission of the group is to help restore the land, teach the people farming

techniques and provide food and clean water for people living in poverty-stricken areas. They hope to do this by helping to

educate and empower power. The journey, which took Jividen from Toledo to Chicago to London, included 21 hours in the air, plus time spent waiting at the airports in between flights. The organization has a website, www. iamrah.org, a Facebook page and several videos on YouTube detailing its work. The website sells some wristbands and t-shirts that help to raise money for their worthy cause. “They feed 100 children each week,” said Jividen, a sophomore at Woodmore High School who plays offensive tackle and defensive end for the football team. They desire to restore the hearts of the African people. She would go over there during the summers and would save up her money and then she moved over there. She provides feeding programs, too.” Jividen was able to raise donations to help pay for his voyage. “The whole trip was funded by family and friends and my church,” he said, referring to the Bethel Assembly of God Church in Perrysburg. “I was able to buy a whole suitcase of toys and clothing for the kids. They’re so thankful, so lively and so joyous; they’re happy with very little and just being loved.” To help with funding for the organization, send donations in the form of a check or money order to The Kirangis, C/O Dan Mitchell, 740 S. Lane St., Blissfield, MI 49228.

New Entrepreneurs

Small business loan programs at WSOS help with funds Entrepreneurs who have dreams of owning their own small business but have been turned down by traditional financing may still be able to achieve their dream with the help of the micro enterprise loan program at WSOS Community Action Commission Inc. Microenterprise businesses, which usually employ five or fewer employees, can access loans available to small business owners who are low to moderate income within Wood, Sandusky, Ottawa, Seneca, and Huron counties. Funded through WSOS Community Action Commission, the loans are available to owners to help meet the needs of existing and/or start-up businesses, which do not qualify for conventional financing through a banking institution or which may have a financing gap to fulfill. The loan amounts for each loan range from $500 to $10,000. The loans can be used for purposes such as buying furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment, vehicles, minor building improvements, inventory, working capital and supplies. Items such as real estate purchase, major construction, and franchises are not eligible. Applicants must be at least two years past a bankruptcy with no delinquencies. Depending on the nature of the project and

GPA the ability to repay, the term of the loan is one to five years with a current interest rate of 9 percent. Applicants are required to provide collateral. WSOS has provided microenterprise loans for micro businesses for more than 15 years. For more information or to submit an application, contact Angie McConnell at 419-332-2008. For information about WSOS, visit www.wsos.org.

St. Kateri requirements changing St. Kateri Catholic Schools have announced a change in the age requirements for students to be enrolled in the kindergarten and pre-kindergarten programs. Effective at the start of the 2014-2015 school year, all new students must be 5 years old by Aug. 1 in order to enroll in kindergarten at St. Kateri Catholic Academy. Similarly, students will need to be 3 years old by Aug. 1 in order to enroll in the Pre-3

program, and 4 years old to enroll in the Pre-4 program. The current cutoff date is Sept. 30. All students currently enrolled in St. Kateri Catholic Academy’s Pre-3 and Pre-4 programs will still be able to move on to the next level of the education program. For more information, contact Kelly Latz at klatz@katerischools.org or 419-6930465, ext. 238.

Project WILD grants The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has grants available for Ohio teachers who have successfully used Project WILD in their classrooms. These funds will allow teachers more opportunities to provide students with hands-on learning about wildlife and habitat. Grants totaling $500 each will be awarded by the ODNR Division of Wildlife on a competitive basis to 40 schools that have participated in Project WILD, a supplemental environmental education curriculum for grades K-12. “A WILD School Site project allows teachers to bring conservation education concepts to life for students by taking lesson plans outdoors,” said Jen Dennison, wildlife education coordinator for the ODNR Division of Wildlife. “It also improves

schoolyard habitat for wildlife while providing an outdoor learning experience.” Project WILD uses wildlife and wildlife management techniques to teach traditional school subjects, such as math, science and language arts. Now in its 10th year, the grant program provides teachers with funding to purchase the materials, equipment and activities needed to develop WILD School Sites on their campuses. The grants are awarded to applicants who best meet the WILD School Site criteria. Criteria includes participation in one of Ohio’s Project WILD programs, direct improvement of the habitat on the school grounds, involvement of the students in the projects as much as possible and correlation of the projects to the school’s curriculum. Funding for the WILD School Site grant program comes from the sale of Ohio hunting and fishing licenses. Ohio has 133 certified Wild School Sites around the state. Interested educators should submit an application anytime between now and May 31, 2014, to the ODNR Division of Wildlife, Outdoor Education Section, 2045 Morse Rd., Building G, Columbus, OH 43229. Complete details of the grant program and an application packet can be found at ohioprojectwild.com or call 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543).

The team, which included Erin Luckey, Allie Wellons, Ryan Sandwisch, and Lexey Holub, is coached by Ellen Saffran. They advanced to the competition by placing second at the state competition in April. While at the Big E, the Woodmore team competed against teams from six other East Coast states. The contest consisted of various challenges including plant identification, a job interview, dealing with a customer complaint, selling a product to a customer, making a floral arrangement and a corsage, a team activity, and a written test. When the challenges were complete, the Woodmore FFA Floriculture Team placed third, and team members say they are looking forward to more competitions in the spring.

Eastwood student to sing Eastwood High School Junior David Krukemyer was selected to participate in the Ohio Music Education Association’s 2014 All State Choir. Krukemyer was selected by audition from more than 900 applicants from across the state. He will spend three days rehearsing with the other members of the All State Choir to prepare for their performance at the 2014 OMEA State Convention in Columbus in February.

Terra dean’s list received The Presidential Academic Excellence Award, as well as awards for Perfect Attendance, Most Improved and High Jumps in Cheerleading her first year.

Oak Harbor Apple Festival Queen Linda Nietfeld and her Court invite the community to attend this year’s opening ceremonies and Royalty Contest, which take place Saturday, Oct. 12 at 9 a.m. on the Main Stage (in front of the post office).

Floriculture team earns honors The Woodmore FFA Floriculture Team participated in the National Floriculture Competition at the Big E in West Springfield, Mass. Saturday, Sept. 14.

Andrew Boose, of Stony Ridge, and Amy Duty, of Rocky Ridge, were among students named to the dean’s list at Terra State Community College for the summer term.

Farm Science Review The Genoa-Penta FFA Chapter sent 22 members, along with the Woodmore and Oak Harbor FFA chapters to Farm Science Review, held Sept. 17 in London, Ohio. The purpose of the trip was to visit agricultural-related companies that had their newest products on display, including John Deere, Hase IH, New Holland, Husqvarna, Kubota and Caterpillar, among others.

Stritch enrollment up nearly 10% Being unique is nothing new at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School, and that is paying off for the school when it comes to attracting new students. Since 2011, the Catholic high school in Oregon has seen nearly a 10 percent increase in enrollment. During that time, enrollment has gone from 243 high school students, to 265. “This is a big step in the right direction not only for Stritch Catholic, but for Catholic high schools as a whole,” said Fr. Eric Schild, President of St. Kateri Catholic Schools. “While many Catholic institutions are seeing a decrease in the number of students who attend, we are showing that there is still very much the possibility Catholic schools can grow.” During its time of enrollment increase, CSCHS has gone through several changes both inside the classroom and outside. In the fall of 2011, CSCHS announced the start of the STEMM initiative. Focusing on math and science-based classes, STEMM is designed to better prepare students not only for college classes, but for life in the professional world as well. The program provides students with hands-on training in on-campus lab spaces and state of the art computer workrooms. Many of the area’s major businesses – including BP Husky, Toledo Refining

Company, the University of Toledo, The Home Depot, Anderson Foundation, Service Spring Corp., Mercy and ProMedica – have donated and offered multiple forms of support for the initiative. “The STEMM program has been a huge success and an all-around great experience for everyone at Stritch Catholic,” said Kevin Parkins, vice president of advancement. “Students are getting the education they need to succeed at the college level and are getting the experience necessary to hit the ground running when they begin their careers.” Classroom size has also played a role in recruiting more students to Stritch Catholic. With smaller classroom sizes, teachers are able to spend more one-on-one time with students throughout the school year. “There have been a lot of changes at the school over the past few years, but everyone has been working hard and we are definitely seeing the benefits, both academically and spiritually,” said Fr. Schild. “We’ve dedicated countless hours and prayers toward making Stritch Catholic a great place to learn and prepare for college.” Students who are interested in taking a tour of the school or enrolling at Cardinal Stritch can call Kelly Latz at klatz@katerischools.org or 419-693-0465, ext. 238.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Cancer patients to share art, stories The Victory Center, located at 5532 W. Central Ave., Suite B., Toledo, will present its annual “TVC Cancer Survivor Art Show” Friday, Oct. 18 from 58 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 20 from 2-4 p.m. All types and varieties of art expression are included in this event, ranging from origami and still life, to sculpture and painting. Cancer survivor artists will be present to share the stories behind their artwork. The cancer journey is a time of great emotional and mental stress, along with the physical hardships sometimes encountered with treatment, according to Penny McCloskey, MEd., program director at TVC. “Art expression is one of the ways that people cope with the extraordinary changes they have gone through in their lives.” Artwork may have been created as part of the center’s Healthy Spirit Art Therapy program, held with the support of Key Bank and the Toledo Community Foundation; as part of the Art and Soul Retreat held at TVC by local artist, Karen O’Brien, or as an individual artistic expression from home. The presentation is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Call 419-531-7600 for more information. A 17-year history TVC has been providing free, nonmedical support services to cancer patients in Northwest Ohio and SE Michigan for the last 17 years. “We are independent and receive no public funds or tax dollars to support our services, and rely on grants, donations, and fundraising,” McCloskey said. “Over 50 percent of our participants are breast cancer survivors, though we serve all types of cancer and serve men as well. “Anyone who is diagnosed with cancer can call our office to see what

Among the range of services available to cancer patients are oncology massage, along with Reiki, reflexology, sound therapy and facial massage to address skin changes during treatment. A variety of support groups also meet regularly including breast cancer support and family and caregiver support groups. TVC also offers exercise groups including yoga, which can increase flexibility and coordination; Healthy Steps – moving to music with upper body exercises to support lymph system health and Nia Fitness

– free-flowing exercise that crosses movement with dance. The center also holds a Wig Bank, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, which provides free wigs for cancer patients. Wigs are new and cancer survivors are on hand to help with fittings and practical advice. Proof of income is not required. One wig is available per person per year. No appointments are required; just drop in when the Wig Bank is open, which is the second Wednesday of each month from 10 a.m.-noon and the second Saturday of the month from 10 a.m.-noon. More information can be found at www.thevictorycenter.org, on Facebook, or by calling 419-531-7600.

Susan G. Komen – the woman behind the “cure” Thousands upon thousands of women have battled breast cancer. Some have pulled through the disease, while others succumbed after a brave fight. Few people who have waged war with breast cancer are better known than Susan Komen, a name many instantly associate with the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the most widely known, largest and well-funded breast cancer organization in the United States. Susan G. Komen was born Susan Goodman in 1943 in Peoria, Ill. According to her sister, Nancy, Susan was the high school homecoming queen and a college beauty queen. After graduating from college, Goodman returned to her hometown and pursued modeling, eventually marrying her high school sweetheart, Stan. Komen was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1977 after finding a lump that subsequent testing revealed was cancerous. Komen underwent a procedure called a subcutaneous mastectomy, in which the outside of the breast tissue was left intact, but the interior breast tissue was removed. The doctor who did the procedure assured Komen that she was cured. Despite urging her sister to get a second opinion, Komen was convinced she was safe. But within six months Komen found another lump under her arm, and, by this point, it was evident that the cancer had spread. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic soon determined the cancer had metastasized to her lung and under her arm. Komen underwent several different treatments to slow the progression of the cancer, including radiation and intense chemotherapy. However, the cancer continued to spread and eventually her body developed a resistance to most of the medication. During treatment, Komen repeatedly spoke with her sister about her wish to make the entire breast cancer experience and treatments in the hospital more palatable for women, including improving the appearance of waiting rooms and treatment centers, and doing other things to help comfort those who would find themselves in similar situa-

tions in the future. Komen lost her battle with breast cancer in 1980 at age 36. By the time of her death, Komen had undergone nine operations and three courses of chemotherapy and radiation. Nancy Goodman Brinker then made it her mission to do everything she could to help end breast cancer and increase awareness of this potentially deadly disease. In 1982, Brinker established the Susan G.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in her sister’s memory. Since its inception, the organization, now called Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has provided funding for basic, clinical and translational breast cancer research projects. Through her struggle with breast cancer, Susan Goodman Komen unknowingly inspired an organization that has helped to save the lives of millions. Learn more at ww5.komen.org.

Breast self-exams increase chance of early detection For women, a healthy lifestyle includes conducting self-exams to detect for breast cancer. Breast selfexams are vital to discovering abnormalities, including lumps or tenderness, in the breasts. Self-examination increases the chances of early detection of breast cancer. According to John Hopkins Medical Center, 40 percent of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump. Doctors urge women to conduct monthly self-exams to familiarize themselves with the look and feel of their breasts, which enables them to more readily recognize any abnormalities that may indicate illness. There are a number of ways to conduct a breast self-exam, and women are urged to find the method they feel is most comfortable for them.The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., offers these tips for conducting a breast examination at home: • Examine breasts in the shower. A breast examination can take place in the shower while you are washing. NBCF says you should use the pads of your fingers and move around your entire breast in a circular pattern, moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month for any lumps, thickening or hardened knots. If you find a lump, visit your physician for an evaluation. • Conduct an examination in bed. The breast tissue will naturally distribute over your chest wall and ribs when you are lying down. NBCF advises you to place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit. Squeeze the nipple and check for discharge or lumps. Then repeat the process on the left breast. • Conduct a visual examination. Standing in front of the mirror, you can look at your breasts with your hands at your side and over your head. Look for any differences between breasts. Many women find that their breasts are not exactly the same shape or size, but unusual dimpling or taut or thick skin may be indicative of a problem.

Comprehensive Breast Clinic at Mercy St. Charles Statistics show one in eight women nationwide will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. More than 2,000 women are diagnosed in Ohio each year. To help women facing this frightening diagnosis, Mercy opened the doors to its Comprehensive Breast Clinic at Mercy St. Charles Hospital in August, 2012. Designed to guide patients from diagnosis to treatment in the shortest time possible, the clinic brings together the patient’s entire care team to plan and implement a course of treatment. The multidisciplinary clinic team is comprised of the general surgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologists, and a plastic surgeon, along with radiologists and pathologists. The doctors on a patient’s case meet together to view diagnostic tests, discuss pathology and the plan of care on the day of the initial consultation. A Mercy genetic educator is also on hand, in the event that genetic testing is ordered. The patient is guided through the system by patient navigators, one with Mercy’s Woman Care Center and one with Mercy Cancer Centers at St. Charles, who act as patient liaisons for treatment and support. A nurse navigator ensures the patient will never be alone as she travels down the road of treatment. Also in 2012, Mercy Women’s Centers at St. Anne and St. Charles hospitals began using Tomosynthesis 3-D imaging for breast mammography. For more information, call the Mercy Women’s Care at St. Charles at 419-696-7900.

“Any team in Ohio — you only go where the offensive line takes you. You go where the big boys take you.” Despite the fact that the Bears are known for their spread offense, Tille says it is the defense that is just as, if not more, important to the team’s success. “It helps us so much,” he said. “If we don’t have the momentum, I have confidence that the defense will pound them and it helps us when we don’t have things going for us.”

and the year before by a 12-0 mark. Though Stritch is 0-4, they very well could be 2-2 like the Bears. Two of the Cardinals losses have come by a combined 11 points, one to Lakota (21-16) and another to Woodward (20-14). Stritch also played well at times against a much improved Danbury club in their 21-7 loss to the Lakers. In the loss to the Raiders, a pick-six cost the Cardinals. In the game against the Polar Bears, Stritch blew an early lead before Woodward broke a 14-14 tie with a late touchdown. First-year Stritch coach Brian Wical says if the Cardinals can limit their mistakes, they’ll give themselves a chance to win. Wical took the job during the offseason after coaching at Lima Central Catholic, a program that consistently makes it to the postseason. LCC has been such a small school powerhouse, that the Northwest Conference asked the school to leave because of their domination over the other public schools. LCC is without a league right now, but Wical wants to bring LCC’s gridiron mindset to Stritch.

“

Three years ago, Gibsonburg football was in Cardinal Stritch Catholic’s current predicament. The Golden Bears were in rebuilding mode under a first-year head coach and searching for victories. Fast forward to 2013 and it appears that Gibsonburg, led by Coach Steve Reser and quarterback Matt Tille, have one of the top teams in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. The Cardinals are hoping they can follow a path similar to the one the Bears have taken. The two teams face off this Friday night at Robert E. Krotzer Field in Gibsonburg. In 2010, Gibsonburg finished 0-10 in the final year of the Suburban Lakes League before moving to the TAAC. Since then, the Bears have gone a combined 11-13 with a 96 record in the league. Not a stellar record, but certainly an improvement. On top of that, this is the year that Gibsonburg is expected to take that next step and compete for a TAAC title. Picked to finish second in the league before the season began in close pre-season voting by coaches, the Bears were 2-2 and 1-0 in the conference heading into last Friday’s match-up with Northwood, which may have decided the championship. An opening win over Elmwood (35-13) saw Tille complete 9-of-12 passes for 190 yards and four touchdowns and run for another score. But a Week 2 loss to Lakota (146), a game that saw Tille leave in the first quarter because of an injury, followed by a loss to Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic (33-13) in which backup quarterback Brent Hayward suffered a hip injury, left the team without two top gunslingers. However, Gibsonburg bounced back, defeating Ottawa Hills, 29-0, in the TAAC opener to improve to 2-2. In the win over the Green Bears, Tille returned to complete 11-of-22 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns, one to Isiah Arriaga and another to Adam Copley. Derek Angelone led the way with six catches for 78 yards and Josh Dyer and Troy Ickes each had one touchdown run. “We’re just playing it week by week,” Tille said. “We just have to come out and do our best. It’s like we’re playing ourselves — if we screw up and beat ourselves, there’s nobody to blame but us. We just have to approach it that way it each week. If we do a better job on Friday nights, we’ll be okay with how we played.” Tille credits the offensive line with helping to establish a foundation. “Our offensive line is our key,” he said

Clay volleyball getting attention from state coaches Gedert’s threeunder-par, day to remember By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Dave Conley had a lot of “street cred” when he took over the Clay volleyball program this season. Conley, who coached at Toledo Christian for nine years, won five Toledo Area Athletic Conference titles as the Eagles’ coach. Conley replaced Tracy Donnelly – she moved to Cardinal Stritch - this season and admitted, “You never know for sure when you take a job what the group is going to be like.” “My expectations for a program and how girls conduct themselves, playing together and building a team with a family atmosphere, are important to me,” Conley said. “We spend a lot of time on those areas.” What Conley has gotten from the Eagles so far, he said, has been a pleasant surprise. “This is just a phenomenal group of girls, character-wise, intelligence, I could go down the list,” said Conley, whose team was 10-2 and 4-2 in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference after a straight game win over visiting Whitmer Thursday night. “They are very hard working, very hungry. They really came together in the summer. They are very unified, they like each other and there is very little drama. “I’m lucky I have group of girls who bought into that and are on board with that. It made my job a little easier.” Clay’s lone losses this season are to Notre Dame Academy and top-ranked (Division I) St. Ursula Academy. The loss to the Arrows was tough to swallow, given that the Eagles won the first set and had a lead in the second set before SUA fought back to take the match. “When you have some time to digest it, it was a step forward for us,” Conley said. “It gave us even more confidence. At the same time, we expected to win. We’re not satisfied with losing a tight match. It was a great night, a great experience. We’re trying to get back to work and hopefully see them again.” Conley said the Eagles, who were ranked 19th in the state coaches’ poll a week ago but were unranked this week, are still working on building a more balanced offense. That aspect of the game, he said, began over the summer. “We’ve been working all season and all summer on expanding our offense,” Conley said. “Our offense is probably still a little behind our defense, which has been really solid. Our back row play is probably our biggest strength. I have a deep rotation of 11-12 players.” Senior Jill Keller, whom Conley calls “really mature and a good leader and scrappy,” is one of Clay’s top back row players along with juniors Brooke Gyori and Kallie Seimet. Gyori leads the team with 28 aces, and Seimet has 21. “Brooke is very competitive and is a very good athlete,” Conley said. “They’re all pretty scrappy. Kallie is very smart, very solid in serve receive.

(Press photo by Scott Grau) (middle) and Hailey Shields (right side). Garmon has 233 kills, while Shields has 40 kills and Phillips, who at 6-foot is the Eagles’ tallest player, has 33 blocks. “Shay gets the bulk of our touches,” Conley said. “They’re all very humble and work hard and do what you ask. Shay gets a lot of kills and handles it with a great attitude and is very humble. Madison’s strength is blocking and she does a great job for us. Hailey is a growing part of our offense. Her offensive game has really developed on the right side, and her blocking has really improved.” Clay’s other standouts include junior defensive specialists Megan Hornyak and Allison Batch, junior middle hitter Connor Phillips and junior outside hitter Grace Winckowski. Batch and Hornyak have 27

and 18 aces, respectively, and Phillips has 11 blocks. “Megan does a great job coming in and serving,” Conley said. “I guess you could call her our serving specialist. Allison has also done a great job serving for us. She’s good at serving and defense and setting in spots. Connor is a hard worker and is very much improved. She does a great job blocking for us in the middle.” Winckowski is second on the team with 77 kills. “She’s a big part of our offense and has really developed as a hitter,” Conley said. “She’s really improved. We were pretty one dimensional at the beginning of the season, with Shalynn on the outside. Grace and Hailey have really grown with the offense as the season has gone along.”

Woodmore junior Alex Gedert hasn’t had many days on the golf course he’d like to forget lately, but Monday was one of those days. Gedert and his teammates played in the Edison Invitational at Sawmill Creek in Huron on Monday, and Gedert shot a 19-over 90 for his worst round of the season. “That was his first round out of the 70s,” Woodmore coach Steve Burner said. “He did not like that course.” “That place never fits my eye quite right,” he said. “It’s not a course I prefer. It just wasn’t my day. I play more of a fade (shot) off the tee, and it just doesn’t fit how I play.” As soon as that round was over, Gedert started thinking about Thursday’s Division III sectional tournament at Green Hills in Clyde. “I’m totally refocused and ready to go,” he said. Gedert and senior teammate Devin Fisher are the only two returning starters from a Woodmore squad that won the school’s second straight Northern Buckeye Conference title last season and then went on to take the sectional crown at Green Hills. Gedert, 17, repeated as a first-team all-conference performer this season after earning medalist honors at the NBC tourney. The 69 he carded was his low round for the season. “It was huge for me to make a big move and make a run at it,” said Gedert, who shot 79 in the NBC tourney last season. “Everything just came together. I don’t know if I expected medalist. It never crossed my mind. I just wanted to go out and shoot a good round.” Woodmore won the NBC tournament but fell short of defending its overall conference championship. “It was tough,” Gedert said. “Going in, we weren’t in a good spot. It was big that we pulled through and got second. It was a big step. Our coach expected third and we exceeded expectations, because we didn’t play well up to that point. We brought it all to the (NBC) championship.” Gedert honed his game by playing all summer in the Lake Erie Junior Golf Association and the Toledo Junior Golf Assocation. “This was my best golf season yet,” Gedert said. “Right now, it just feels right. It feels like it’s all there. Everything’s coming together at once, just because of going out and practicing every day and playing golf.” Burner, who said Gedert is a jokester who “keeps the team loose,” said he has been impressed by the way Gedert has improved his game. “Alex has total game,” the coach said. “He’s long off the tee and he is knowledgable around the greens, as far as being able to flop it over and get up and down. He gets out there in the summer and they play the bigger courses.”

Lake equestrian team on track for 4th state title By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Lake High School equestrian team coach Connie Workman says she is keeping her fingers crossed. Her team is on track to compete for their fourth straight consecutive state championship. The Lake team won its second straight Division 2 district championship, scoring 130 points to down Port Clinton (102), Eastwood (95), Otsego (65), and Bowling Green (4). Lake equestrian team members with their horses’ names are seniors Alissa Knieriem (Bristol), Ellen Johns (Oakley), Rhianna Reaume (Dance), junior Kylee Smith (Lola), sophomores Lauren Nissen (Alex), Taylor Barndt (Sassy), and freshmen Hannah Duty (Perks), and Hannah Johns (Bubba). Meanwhile, Oak Harbor won a Division 1 championship, defeating runner-up Perrysburg 160-108, and Genoa was the Division 3 champion, scoring 49 points. The last district meet was to be held Sunday, Sept. 29, at the Wood County Fairgrounds. The winners of each district championship based on cumulative scores will advance to the state show on October 12 at the Fulton County Fairgrounds. .

Drugs seized Two men from California are facing felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized 42 pounds of cocaine and two pounds of black tar heroin, worth $2 million following a traffic stop Monday on the Ohio Turnpike in Wood County. Troopers stopped an eastbound Freightliner tractor-trailer, with California registration, for a marked lanes violation, on Interstate 80 eastbound at 1:21 p.m. The patrol said criminal indicators were observed and a drug-sniffing canine alerted to the commercial vehicle. A probable cause search revealed the contraband concealed in the cab of the truck. The driver, Bobby D. Robinson II, 24, of Carson, Calif., and passenger, Christopher Bustamante, 31, of Montebello, Calif., were incarcerated in the Wood County Justice Center and charged with possession and trafficking in cocaine and heroin, all first-degree felonies; and possession of criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony. If convicted each man could face up to 41 years in prison and up to a $82,500 fine.

The Genoa American Legion Band performed at a free ice cream social hosted by the Village of Genoa.

Genoa celebrates end of summer season By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press About 40 people gathered at Genoa Town Hall last weekend to enjoy the music of the Genoa American Legion Band and enjoy free ice cream courtesy of the village. “This was our first time doing something like this. We didn’t know what to expect,” Mayor Mark Williams said as he handed out coupons for free ice cream cones at the nearby Genoa Big Dipper. Ice cream shop owner Martin Clement had planned to close for the season Saturday, but agreed to stay open for the village event. He had a season ender to remember though. “He got hit hard,” Williams said, noting staff had been winding down inventory. “There was a tournament over at the park, someone had some big event going on at the shelter house and we had the social. It was all happening at once.” In the background, band members poised at the steps of the town hall played a host of melodies from polkas to patriotic

Village officials put the event together as a “thank you” to the community, Administrator Kevin Gladden said. The social capped off a busy weekend in the western Ottawa County village. Friday night, nearly 2.8 inches of rain fell as a storm front moved across the area. But the rains subsided and the sun came out just as Genoa’s downtown closed off the village’s main drag for the annual street fair. “The streets were packed. It was a good day,” Gladden said. Close to 120 car owners rumbled into town for the late afternoon car show. Mickey Bockbrader of Elmore and her husband stood near the Firefighter’s Memorial to enjoy the Sunday afternoon musical performance. “It was a good show. I just wish it had been better attended. I don’t know if they did much advertising,” she added. Bockbrader heard about the show at a local beauty shop a few days prior. Mayor Williams added the village is considering hosting a few similar socials in summer 2014. If so, they’ll spread the word a little better, he said.

tunes for those gathered on the lawn a little more than an hour before the autumnal equinox heralded in fall and officially said goodbye to summer. Sunny skies prevailed but a light breeze amid mild 60-degree temperatures reminded many that winter was just around the corner. Most in attendance wore jackets. A few people sitting in lawn chairs nestled under cozy throw blankets. “At least it’s not raining or snowing,” band conductor Fred Davis of Genoa mused, “And it’s warm when the sun comes out.” He shared the conductor’s stage for a moment with band member Robert Krichbaum, who served as band director for the Air National Guard for several decades. Prior to that, he was a band director in the Genoa school system. The hour-long performance is one of the last of the season for the Genoa band brought to town this time around by the Genoa Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants Association. The final show takes place in October when band members lend their talents to the Honor Flight services at Toledo Express Airport.

Tasha, Here you are with your grandpa, dancing, both smiling and having fun. I would give anything to see that again! You would be 30 years old now, and I hoped to be at your wedding. I love you forever and miss you! Your Mom

Craig and Kathy Bowie of Oregon, Ohio are pleased to announce the first wedding anniversary of their daughter, Sarah Bowie Crothers, and Nick Crothers, son of Doug and Cynthia Crothers of Boulder, Colorado and Ernie and Jean Cottrell of Curtice, Ohio. The wedding took place September 29, 2012 at Sacred Heart Church, Toledo, Ohio followed by a reception at Maumee Bay State Park Lodge. The couple honeymooned in Hawaii. Sarah and Nick reside in Broomfield, Colorado.

Lloyd (Bud) and Kay Albright will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on October 11. They were married at the Stony Ridge Methodist Church, Stony Ridge, Ohio on October 11, 1963. They have three children; Jim (Shannon) Albright, Jill (Steve) Bailey and Jeff (Deborah) Albright. They also have six grandchildren; Jacob, Kacy, Jessie, Sarah, Bryan and Kelly and four great grandchildren; Grace, Noah, Sage and Nyah. Bud retired from L.O.F. after 30 years and then worked at The Andersons, Woodville Road, for 17 years before retiring. Kay worked for Eastwood School food service and still maintains her Avon business after 32 years. They have enjoyed their many travels to Hawaii, Alaska, Australia/New Zealand, Europe, Panama Canal, Mexico and most all of the continental United States. The best place to be, though, is Luckey, Ohio with family and friends. There is a gathering being planned for early October in their honor.
