Mercy to open health center at Clay

“

We also know that your child’s health is always a top priority. ents. Oregon School officials say the project will be cost neutral over its scope. The district will make some initial facility upgrades with those costs recouped through the lease agreements with Mercy. The health center, which will have its own entrance separate from the high school, will offer a variety of day and evening hours. “With our busy schedules today, fitting in an appointment at your primary care office for wellness or illness visits can be difficult,” Gregory’s letter states. “We also know that your child’s health is always

a top priority.” Gregory says a child will not be seen without a parent’s prior consent. Mercy will accept both self-pay patients and those with insurance. Besides normal primary care and physicals, the center will also have the ability to perform immunizations. Sexton’s original idea School nurse practitioner Cherie Sexton will be joined at the center by a Mercy clerical staff member. It was originally Sexton’s vision. “The original idea happened maybe five, six, even seven years ago with our nurse, Cherie Sexton,” Gregory said. “It’s always been a dream of hers to have a schoolbased health center, but funding and partnerships were always a tough sell. There was lots of money years ago, but those got sucked up and stopped.” It helped that Mercy already had an established relationship with Clay’s athletic programs. Door 25 is on the back end of the high school, near the main entrance to Clay Memorial Stadium. “I think it started with our involvement with them with their athletes and our sports medicine group,” said Mercy

Mercy Medical Partners and Oregon City Schools are forming a unique partnership to open a health care center on the Clay High School campus. Inside the high school’s Door 25, 1,500 square feet is being converted into Mercy Health Center at OCS. The center, staffed by a nurse practitioner, will open its door to pediatric patients on Nov. 11 and be available to students and the public 20 hours per week. Oregon school officials say the primary purpose is to keep students in class or be able to return to them to class as quickly as possible after being seen by a pediatric nurse, reducing student absenteeism. Other programming will go along with the center. “To keep our students and community vigorous and strong, we will offer wellness talks by Mercy specialists, school physicals in addition to pediatric health services. Together, we will work to create a healthier school system and a healthier community,” OCS Assistant Superintendent Hal Gregory wrote in a letter sent to the district’s par-

The theft of ducks and Guinea fowl from her Sandusky County home has left Louise Linke more than a little perplexed. She estimates someone came to her and her husband’s farm on County Road 2 during the afternoon of Oct. 3 while she was running errands and her husband was at work and removed four Guinea fowl and four brown ducks from a cage behind a shed. “It had to be someone who knew our vehicles and knew my husband and I were both gone,” she said. Even more perplexing, whoever took the birds left $60 in the latch of the door to their cage. However, none of the birds were for sale. Linke said she had purchased the Guinea fowl about three months ago and the ducks shortly before then. Two younger Guineas weren’t taken. “I want them back regardless of them ‘paying’ me or not. It’s right by our driveway so I’m hoping someone may have driven by and saw them,” Linke said. “I’m tempted to put a sign out front that this is not a “Stop and Shop.’” The matter even surprised a deputy of the Sandusky County Sheriff’s Department when Linke filed a crime report. “He said he’d been a deputy sheriff for many years and this was the first time he’s seen someone take birds and actually leave money,” Linke said.” I said it kind of threw me for a loop too.” The $60 doesn’t cover the amount she spent for all the birds. Of the Guinea fowl, two were lavender, one was white and one was pearl. Linke describes the pearl as actually a light blue with white dots. “I had been looking and looking for lavenders for a while and finally found a lady who is retiring from the poultry business and she had them for sale,” Linke said. “I bought all that she had.” Agriculture literature describes Guinea fowl as a natural solution to garden pest problems. “Having a few Guinea fowl graze your property may be just the solution. Guinea fowl are natural grazers as they will eat

Not a clinic Although Mercy officials refer to it as a ‘clinic,’ Oregon school officials do not like the word. “First of all, we want to be real clear that it’s not a clinic,” Oregon Supt. Dr. Lonny Rivera said. “It’s an insurancebased program like any other center for health. That whole ‘clinic’ thing has people spooked a little bit. “We also want to be very clear that this is something that is not costing the district money. This is something that generates enough revenue that it pays for the (Mercy’s) rent, and eventually could grow into something bigger that could help aid our students and provide more students

Medical Partners Director of Operations Jayne Beckstead. “Just in conversations with them, they had this idea of having this clinic within their school, so apparently this has been talked about by Cherie and the school system for quite a few years.” Oregon Schools started with a model used in southwest Ohio by Mason City Schools, which also has a health care center on campus. “Mason sent out RFPs, (Requests for Proposals) and they had the University of Cincinnati Hospitals and Apria Health Care, which at that time was in Middletown, and they bid on it and they ended up having a full-sized building and athletic turf that came with the package of athletic training and this health center for their students,” said Oregon Schools Director of Business Affairs Dean Sandwisch. “So, we did a similar thing here where we invited all the health care providers in our area, and we shared our dream and our vision, and Mercy Health came in and said, ‘Yeah, we want to come in and we want to do this.’ They were the only one that jumped forward and so we’ve been working on it ever since.” Oregon School officials add that ProMedica also showed an interest at a presentation, but for Mercy, the timing was right. Mercy public relations director Sarah Bednarski said, “There was a need, and when we evaluated it and we worked with the schools, we felt that we could address that need by creating this clinic. “The key for this is, obviously, it’s exciting for us and it’s a new model for care that you are seeing within Northwest Ohio. We take it as a positive and initially we will staff it about 20 hours a week. Obviously, based on need, it can be expanded, but we thought that 20 hours was a good place to start.”

in the community. That’s the point of all of this,” Rivera continued. “My goal is I’m looking for any way that we can supplement what we do to take the burden off our taxpayers. So, if I can make partnerships with local industry, with health care partners to help us pay for services for kids, I’m going to try anything I can because funding is drying up. If there are ways to do things differently, that’s what I want to do to help benefit the kids in our community. “We’re trying to innovate for our community and we’re looking at different ways to do business. Again, the operative word is

how do we create a more successful environment for our kids and for our community? That’s the whole point of this. If it didn’t have a benefit, we wouldn’t be doing it.” If the health center is successful, both Mercy and Oregon School officials say it could be expanded to include care for adults and mental health care. “It has to be profitable for Mercy and it has to certainly be beneficial for the school district, and if so, that’s a win-win,” Gregory said. “One of the things we want to do eventually is expand it to adults in the near future, and that would mean we would need a family practitioner who could handle it all. “Then, we want to, somewhere in the district not necessarily related to that (health care center), but build up our services for mental health for our students. I kind of want the public to know that we are forward-thinking of the needs of the community.” Mercy officials and school officials will meet quarterly throughout the school year to assess the impact of this program and evaluate the goals set forth by both Mercy Health and OCS.

Remembrance, Inc. honors Medal of Honor recipient Remembrance Inc., a historical society, will host a dinner on Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. honoring Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Michael Edwin Thornton, a Navy Seal Vietnam veteran, at the Radisson Hotel on the grounds of the University of Toledo Medical Center. Thornton was awarded the medal for saving the life of his senior officer, Lieutenant Thomas R. Norris, who also earned the Medal of Honor in an unrelated incident. Born on March 23, 1949, in Greenville, South Carolina, Thornton graduated from high school in 1967 and enlisted in the United States Navy later that year in Spartanburg. He served aboard destroyers as a gunner’s mate apprentice until November 1968, when he began Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training. Upon graduation, he was assigned to SEAL Team 1 and began a series of tours in southeast Asia which ran from Jan. 1, 1970, to December 1972. By the last quarter of 1972, U.S. involvement in the region had waned and Thornton, by then a Petty Officer, was one of only a dozen SEALs remaining in Vietnam. On Oct. 31 of that year, he participated in a mission to capture prisoners and gather intelligence from the Cua Viet River Base near the coast of Quang Tri Province, just south of the Demilitarized Zone. In addition to Thornton, the mission team consisted of another SEAL, Lieutenant Thomas R. Norris, and three men from the LDNN, the South Vietnamese Special Forces. Approaching by sea, the group was transported by junk until sunset, then paddled a rubber boat to within a mile of shore and swam the remaining distance. Moving inland past numerous North Vietnamese encampments, the group reconnoitered through the night. When morning dawned, the five-man group realized that they had landed too far north and were actually in North Vietnam. They made their way toward the coast but were spotted by a group of 50 soldiers, beginning an intense five-hour battle. When the group’s commander, Lieutenant Norris, was severely wounded, Thornton ran through heavy fire to rescue him. He then carried the unconscious

When one of the LDNNs was wounded, Thornton supported him in the water as well. He swam with the two injured men for more than two hours before being picked up by the same junk which had dropped them off the night before. For these actions, Thornton was awarded the Medal of Honor. The medal was formally presented to him by President Richard Nixon during a ceremony at the White House on Oct. 15, 1973. The man Thornton rescued, Thomas Norris, survived his wounds and was awarded the Medal of Honor from President Gerald R. Ford in a White House ceremony on March 6, 1976 for his April 1972 rescue of Lt. Col. Iceal Hambleton and 1st Lt. Mark Clark from behind enemy lines.

In 1980, Thornton was chosen by Commander Richard Marcinko to be a founding member of SEAL Team Six, the U.S. Navy’s first unit dedicated to counterterrorism. Thornton later became a commissioned officer and retired as a Lieutenant. He currently sits on the board of advisors for Veterans Direct. Thornton received a commission in 1982 as a limited duty officer and retired as a lieutenant. (biography courtesy of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and wikipedia.com) Tickets for the dinner are $50 and must be turned in by Oct. 24.

Indicted The Ottawa County Grand Jury indicted Mark W. Haeft, 53, of Oregon, on two fifth-degree felony counts of possession of drugs, and one misdemeanor count of possession of drug abuse instruments after police found him in possession of heroin and cocaine during a traffic stop in August. Also indicted were: • Rachel E. Cantu, 48, of Oak Harbor, was charged with two counts of possession of drugs after she was reportedly found by Oak Harbor Police officers to be in possession of pharmaceutical drugs for which she had no valid prescription. • Rodney J. Wilson, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was indicted on multiple felony counts, including breaking and entering, theft and theft of drugs, after he allegedly entered a vehicle in Catawba Township last month. Catawba Island Township Police officers found Wilson in possession of several hundred dollars’ worth of items, along with prescription drugs taken from the vehicle. Haeft and Cantu are scheduled to make their initial appearances in Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas on Oct. 23.

Ohio Coalition unable to negotiate cheaper gas rates By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition (NOAC) has not approved a natural gas supplier for Oregon residents and other communities who are part of the group. NOAC’s annual contract with its previous supplier, IGS Energy, expired in April. As a result, consumers will revert back to Columbia Gas as their supplier, unless they independently negotiate rates with alternate natural gas companies. NOAC represents communities that have banded together to negotiate cheaper rates for electric and natural gas customers in Oregon, Northwood, Lake Township, Toledo, Lucas County, Sylvania, Maumee,

Perrysburg Township, Holland, and unincorporated areas of Lucas County. “The Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition has delivered lots of value to our rate payers over the course of the years,� Oregon Administrator Mike Beazley said to council at a committee of the whole meeting last Monday. “It’s an unfortunate aspect of deregulation in these industries that most people who have signed on with alternative [suppliers] have actually lost money than if they had done nothing. It’s not the case for those who have been with NOAC. Right now, one of the reasons the coalition has saved money for our rate payers is that NOAC’s consultant has advised that no action be taken unless there are savings avail-

able. So NOAC does not have a contract for this winter.� There are alternate suppliers going door to door recommending plans, according to Beazley. “It’s up to our residents to decide which course they want to take. We urge strong caution, though. Doing nothing is still an option that is available. I have chosen that myself. There has not been a proposal worth signing onto. Doing nothing does not hurt our residents. But I don’t think they should feel compelled to sign on with someone who is going door to door. It’s not an easy decision for a household. It may be that it would save them money, but it’s hard to know,� he said. Also at the meeting:

• Heard from Mayor Mike Seferian that the construction of a 95-unit Hampton Inn Hotel on Navarre Avenue is expected to be completed next year. “They are planning on opening next year. So I think you’re going to see a lot happening there in a very short time,â€? he said. The Hampton Inn recently held a grand opening for a new 105-unit hotel on Secor Road in Toledo. The hotel in Oregon will appear larger, he said, because it will be built closer to the road than the one off Secor Road. A marketing survey conducted by the developers showed “a definite need for that service in this area,â€? said Seferian.

Reporters win Touchstone Kelly J. Kaczala news editor at The Press, and Melissa A. Burden, a senior writer at The Press, won the Press Club of Toledo’s Touchstone award in the non-daily category for their stories that questioned the need for a proposed 0.5 percent senior levy in Oregon. Kaczala and Burden had uncovered information that showed campaign sup-

The photos feature birds, wildlife, landscapes, and people, and will be on display through October 18th. For more information call 419-898-0014. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

porters of the levy suggested that the money was needed for the city’s senior center because the Area Office on Aging of Northwest Ohio, Inc., and the City of Oregon had cut its budget. They found that funding by the Area Office on Aging had been cut in previous years because the senior center had been underperforming and had not used all the monies allocated by the agency. The entry by The Press competed against four entries submitted by the Toledo City Paper. The Press Club of Los Angeles judged the entries. The Touchstone awards are presented annually to journalists in different categories after being nominated for making an outstanding contribution to Northwest Ohio through journalistic excellence or community service.

PROTECT YOUR CHILD’S SLEEP JUST AS YOU DO THEIR SAFETY

Sleep problems don’t just effect a child’s nights, they disrupt their days too. Lack of sleep can cause your child to have learning delays and be hyperactive, less alert, easily distracted, physically impulsive, injured from increased falls, and overweight.

How much sleep time do they need?

Long time Friend of Pearson to step down By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

Model for ‘Friends’ groups Metroparks public relations director Scott Carpenter says Friends of Pearson has been a model for other “Friends” organiza-

“

Our attendance continues to decline and it’s difficult to get people to participate in our programming.

“

In 1991, Terry Jay Breymaier and wife Mary Nassar Breymaier were instrumental in the founding of Friends of Pearson — an organization that for nearly 25 years has been behind programming and the continued enhancement of 80-year-old Pearson Metropark. Terry, now 66, has been president ever since, including interim president for the last five years as the organization seeks out new leadership. Unfortunately, no one has come forward wanting to fill those leadership roles, and if it remains unfilled, the organization will vote on whether to disband at its November meeting. The Breymaiers want people to know that even though Terry may resign as president, he will stay involved. New volunteers just need to step forward. Membership is currently at about 55, but Terry says during the organization’s heyday, it was twice that number. “Our attendance continues to decline and it’s difficult to get people to participate in our programming,” Terry said. “The Friends of Pearson are struggling and if they can’t continue at the level that we’d like to continue at, we’re not going to continue, and that’s it. I keep telling people, I’m still a member and I’ll still stay very active.” Terry is proud of what the organization has accomplished over nearly a quarter of a century. “We’ve been able to make some very significant contributions to that park, both monetarily and with sweat equity, and I hate to see that not continue to happen and cease,” Terry said.

tions at other parks. Within the Metroparks system, Sidecut Park has its own “Friends” group modeled after Pearson’s. Outside the system, the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge also has its own “Friends” group. Carpenter said Friends of Pearson played a significant role in the expansion of the park into Pearson North. This $1 million recreated swamp has been sculpted and funded by the Ohio Wetlands Foundation. Friends of Pearson planted more than 102,900 indigenous trees and shrubs. The foundation also created shallow pools, relocated the ditch that ran alongside Wynn Road, and added a small pond. “The Metroparks acquired it, which was the fulfillment of a decades-long dream. We had money set aside for many years,” Carpenter said. “Certainly developing it into what it is today would not have happened without the support of Friends of Pearson and others that Friends of Pearson helped to bring in to the cause.” Another significant role played by Friends of Pearson was the development of the Window on Wildlife at the Packersmith Center. “The care they put into it, too,” Carpenter said. “BP donated to help make that renovation happen, but without the ongoing support of ‘The Friends’ — the main-

tenance, the upkeep of it, I don’t know if it would have been as attractive to a potential donor.” Terry, a direct descendant of the Peter Navarre family, added, “The Window on Wildlife, we’re very proud of that. I don’t think there is a better one in the system. Prior to us, we really didn’t have programming to this scale, like the Black Swamp Festival or Ice Cream Social, or the Sunday Series in March that we do, or even the George Pearson Pancake Breakfast. I mean, we have a ball doing that. I don’t know if the park system will pick that up or not.” Volunteerism changing Carpenter also hopes new leadership will step in to fill the leadership void left by the Breymaiers. Terry, a retired funeral home director, recently moved with his wife to a new home near Oak Harbor, about 25 miles from the park, which creates another obstacle for them. “We certainly appreciate all of the work that Terry has done over the years,” Carpenter said. “Beyond the fundraising, they’ve been kind of the soul of the park as well — the eyes and ears and advocates for the park. They are caretakers in a lot of ways. We’re sorry to see Terry step down from that role, but he’s done such a great job and we certainly understand. He’s done plenty and continues to.”

Carpenter says the Metroparks have had to change their focus on how to attract volunteers. He says the system currently has about 3,000 volunteers registered in its data base. “Volunteers are just going great, but it’s been changing and we’ve tried to change a bit,” Carpenter said. “I do know groups like ‘Friends’ groups have struggled, not just at Pearson, but at other places. Historical groups will tell you that historical museums have had a challenge getting and keeping volunteers as well. There are volunteers, but it is a different emphasis these days.” Terry still volunteers as a member of the Metroparks’ volunteer trail patrol and the Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist Program. “Those programs are going great and episodic volunteers, those who come out for a one day event, that is going great,” Carpenter said. “People just seem to be choosing how they spend their time just a little differently. It is sometimes hard these days to get folks, especially younger folks, to sit on boards and sit on meetings. They want to get out and do things. So, it’s just the volunteer spirit is still there, the interests are different.” If new leadership is not found and Friends of Pearson shuts down, Carpenter hopes its membership will not go away. “We would be very sad to see that organization shut down,” Carpenter said. “We would understand, though. There are seasons for everything, and if the group itself decides it’s time has come, we would welcome them to be involved in other ways. I don’t think Terry and Mary are going to go far because they are so involved in so many things. “If there is interest in continuing the programming that they have done, we would certainly consider it in the midst of everything. We have been more involved in recent years in events like the Black Swamp Festival, so we are prepared to do that.”

Wood County voters to decide an array of tax issues By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“

We wanted to eliminate being on the ballot so often.

“

Emphasizing that it is not seeking a tax increase, the board of education of the Lake Local School District in November will again ask voters to convert a tax levy from a term issue to a continuing issue. Lake voters on Nov. 4 will decide a 6.75-mill renewal issue that generates about $1.4 million annually for the district’s operational costs, including salaries and benefits. Originally passed in 2012 as a 3-year issue, the district is asking voters to renew it as a continuing measure. Jeff Carpenter, district treasurer, said the board and administration began almost 10 years ago seeking voter approval of converting term issues into continuing to avoid “voter fatigue.” “That’s been our strategy. At that time we were on the ballot about every 18 months. We wanted to eliminate being on the ballot so often. This way, if we do go

on the ballot for new money it’s not to be confused with renewal requests. We put this levy on because we had about $1.5 million in federal, state and local funding cuts and had to replace that revenue.” In addition to passing the levy that is up for renewal, the district in 2012 enacted an austerity program that reduced spending by approximately $1.2 million, including laying off 10 teachers and administrators, 12 classified employees; closing Walbridge Elementary School and reducing the kindergarten program from all-day, everyday classes to half days. Carpenter describes the district as now

being in “equilibrium.” “We’re not at the present time deficit spending, but we have no cash reserve cushion. This is not a new tax. So, if you take away the 6.75 mills, we’re in trouble again,” he said. Other Wood County villages and townships are also placing tax levies on the November ballot, the majority being renewal issues: • Lake Township is seeking renewal of a 1-mill, 5-year used for fire department expenses. Vicki Schwamberger, township fiscal officer, said the levy generates $223,860 a year. The fire department also relies on a continuing levy (voted in 1990) of 2 mills that generates $304,635 a year. • Freedom Township is asking voters to renew a 3-mill levy for Emergency Medical Service and the fire department that generates approximately $180,952 annually. Dave Gerwin, fiscal officer, said no new major expenditures are planned but the department does plan to update its radios and turnout gear.

• Troy Township is asking voters to renew a 0.8-mill, 5-year levy for the township’s operating expenses. Voters in the unincorporated area of the township will also vote on a 1-mill, 3-year replacement levy for the police department. A replacement levy is based on current property valuations instead of the valuation when the levy was first approved. • The Village of Luckey is seeking renewal of a 1.9-mill, 5-year levy for operating expenses. • The Wood County District Public Library, which has branches in Bowling Green and Walbridge, is seeking renewal of a 0.8-mill, 6-year levy for operating expenses. • The Pemberville Public Library, which has branches in the villages of Pemberville and Luckey and in Stony Ridge, is seeking renewal of a 0.8-mill, 5-year levy. • Voters in two precincts of the Village of Pemberville - 5-D and 5-E - will decide liquor options for Sunday sales. •Voters will decide a 1.6-mill, 10-year renewal levy for the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board.

Stakeholder meeting set for Navarre Safety grant By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Navarre Avenue safety grant project will be the topic at a stakeholder meeting on Oct. 23 at 9 a.m. in council chambers in the Oregon municipal building, 5330 Seaman Road. The city received a safety grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation to improve Navarre Avenue. The project limits are from I-280 to Isaac Streets Drive. Stakeholders are businesses located within the project limits that may be affected by the project. “It’s fine if anyone else wishes to attend to see what’s going on, but it’s really to get property owners who are in between I-280 and Isaac Streets Drive to weigh in on what we’re proposing for the design,� Public Service Director Paul Roman said to The Press last week. The project mostly consists of the construction of a median on Navarre Avenue

with seven U-turn or “turnarounds’ located between the project limits, said Roman. “We are making sure we have all the proper openings for places like St. Charles Hospital emergency,� he said. “Obviously, there would be a U-turn location right there. We are making sure that there are U-turns at the main intersections as well.� A planned service drive would assist properties at the northeast corner of Wheeling and Navarre, where Tim Horton’s, Arby’s, and an apartment complex are located. The freeway would also be assisted by the service road, which would come off Wheeling, he said. The private drive currently located north of Navarre between Arby’s and Tim Horton’s would become a dedicated public access road to serve businesses and provide emergency vehicle access. “We would have a “T� shape service road, which would run off Wheeling all the way over to the Freeway Plaza parking lot. Motorists could take the east-west service road out to Wheeling to get to the traffic

light, he said. Officials wanted the improvements to reduce a high rate of traffic accidents on Navarre. The biggest problem in that area is when motorists try to make a left turn out of the drives closest to the intersection of Navarre and Wheeling, he said. “There have been a lot of accidents. In particular, the drive right there by Tim Horton’s,� he said. “When you put in the median, you have right-in/ and right-out only, and can simply travel to the next U-turn and make your left turn, then go on your way. It will be a lot safer going to the U-turns. I know some people don’t care for them. But a lot of people are making U-turns anyway. You’ll see a wall of cars as you’re trying to leave some of these drives, and a lot of people get fed up, make a right, simply turn around in another drive, or make their U-turn in a private parking lot to go on their way. So they’re still spending time to make that left because they’re forced to.� The $2.7 million project will be mostly offset by the $2.4 million safety grant from ODOT. “We pretty much have the preliminary design done, such as the alignment and our basic thoughts of where the U-turns will go. Part of the process is getting public input. So we’re using the Navarre stakeholders’ meeting as our way of getting public input,� he said. Most of the construction will be done with lane restrictions. There will be no road closures, he said. The improvements are the result of a safety study conducted for Navarre Avenue. The project is expected to be completed in May, 2016.

Water safe “Based upon the amount of organics in the raw water, he calculates a chlorine

“

Oregon City Council will soon be considering an ordinance that would improve the water treatment process by using ozone instead of high levels of chlorine to treat algae in the drinking water. “I’ll likely present an ordinance to council within a week or so,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman last Wednesday. Chlorine is used to treat elevated levels of algae toxins, such as microcystin, in the drinking water. When chemical disinfectants such as chlorine react with organic material in the water, new compounds known as Disinfection Byproducts (DBP’s) are formed. Trihalomethanes (TTHM) are one such DBP. In September, Oregon issued a drinking water notice to all of its water customers after a water sample showed TTHM above the drinking water standards. The water system violated the maximum contaminant level for TTHM with an average level over the last four quarters of 0.081 mg/L. The standard is 0.080 mg/L. “That’s the first time we’ve had the TTHM above the threshold,” said Paul Roman. “Part of it is from adding more chlorine to fight the algae toxins in August and September.” Oregon tests the water quarterly for TTHM, and submits the results to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, he said. “They do the calculations. It is something they saw in the sample. Then we got the notice that said we had to provide a notice to our water customers within the next 30 days,” he said. The two main chemicals used to treat heavy organics or the algae toxins in the water are activated carbon and chlorine, he explained. The superintendent of water, Doug Wagner, then decides whether or not to increase chlorine.

The water was safe. It was just a notice to let you know we were above that level. demand, and that’s how he decides how much chlorine to add. There’s no doubt adding more chlorine to fight toxins did elevate that TTHM level,” he said. Unlike Toledo, which issued a ban on drinking water this summer after high levels of a toxin, microcystin, were found in a water sample taken from Toledo’s Collins Park Water treatment plant, the notice issued to Oregon water customers did not recommend using an alternative water supply, such as bottled water. If the public had specific health concerns, they were to consult their doctor. “The water was safe. It was just a notice to let you know we were above that level,” said Roman. “The only way it becomes an issue is if it’s left above that threshold for many, many years, like 70 years - a lifetime. You would have to be above that level for a very long time.” Ingesting high levels of TTHM over time can cause liver, kidney, and central nervous system problems. It can also pose an increased risk of cancer. “Oregon water remains safe and reliable and is of outstanding quality,” said Adminstrator Mike Beazley. “It is tested and held to a much higher standard than alternative bottled waters.” He said 13 districts have issued such notices in the third quarter alone, including the Northwestern Water & Sewer District, Toledo, Henry County, Defiance, and Delaware. The ozone treatment process, estimated to cost $13 million, would drastically reduce the need to treat water with chlorine and lower the TTHM level.

Loans and grants Roman has applied for a zero percent loan through the EPA to help fund the ozone treatment process. He is also going to submit an application to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for a grant. “Ozone does disinfect algae much better than chlorine. And by using it, our chlorine usage will be a lot less. Then we wouldn’t have that concern of TTHM. Ozone, we believe, is the improvement that would work very well for us,” he said. “Ozone disinfects better than chlorine, we wouldn’t have a TTHM issue, and it would definitely have a better taste with no odor. I think it’s the way to go,” said Roman. The city is also looking into Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) to treat toxins. “It is just another method of removing organics from the raw water before you treat it. But DAF does not really remove an algae cell that breaks open. It would remove algae if the algae stayed intact. But if it breaks open, then the DAF doesn’t really do as much. That’s why we think the ozone is the better treatment. They both are kind of in the same ball park cost wise. We just think ozone will do more for us,” said Roman. Other communities along the lake have also switched to ozone, he said, such as Carroll Township in Ottawa County, which had a drinking water ban in 2010 after a water sample detected a high level of microcystin. If approved by council, Roman hopes to get designs completed in 2015, and construction in the middle of 2016. The city is also constructing Phase I of the secondary improvement project to the wastewater treatment plant, which should also help improve water quality in Lake Erie. The project, which will be conducted in two phases over the next five years, will increase the secondary treatment capacity of the wastewater treatment plant from 24 million gallons per day to 36 million gallons per day to eliminate secondary treatment bypasses and sanitary sewer collection system overflows during wet weather.

Investing in children To the editor: I am proud of what we are accomplishing at Oregon City Schools. I am proud of the culture of caring that we are fostering in each of our buildings. Our administration, teachers, support staff, coaches, parents and volunteers, aren’t just putting in their time; they are here because they care about results for each child. As a lifelong resident of Jerusalem Township and the city of Oregon, I cannot express how honored I am to have this opportunity to serve this community. It is also with a humble heart that I ask for your support on Nov. 4. I am asking for a five-year emergency 5.9 mill levy, not because I want to increase spending, but provide the best education possible to our students. Even if this levy passes, we will be spending less than we were seven years ago. The passage of this levy will enable us to continue providing high quality programming to the students of Oregon and Jerusalem Township. Because I believe in accountability, this levy will not be permanent, as it will need to be renewed after five years. I believe that our voters need to have more say in where their tax dollars are spent, and they need to have the ability to say no if we fail to meet our obligations to our students and the community. Working together with our teachers, administrators, coaches, and support staff, we have succeeded in lowering costs year after year while collecting less from our residents than the districts that we compete with. To keep Oregon and Jerusalem Township competitive, we need to continue to invest in our children. Communities with successful schools are attracting new families, preserving property values, and moving forward. Please support our schools by voting yes on Issue 4. Dr. Lonny J. Rivera Oregon City Schools Superintendent

Libraries boost literacy To the editor: In 2012, Gov. John Kasich proclaimed October as Information Literacy Month and Ohio joined 18 other states in an endeavor to raise awareness about what it means to be information literate. His proclamation set out to “remind all citizens of the importance of the role of all libraries and librarians – academic, public, school and special – in teaching information literacy.” Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google said, “Every two days, we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003. That’s something like five exabytes of data.” So when you receive an email or a Facebook post that baby carrots are made from deformed full-size carrots soaked in chlorine and that’s why they turn white, how do you discern the truth of the statement? That is information literacy. It is the ability to identify what information is needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the best sources of information for a given need, locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically and then share the information. As with everything from learning to play the drums to executing the perfect foul shot, developing information literacy skills takes practice. In Ohio’s K-12 schools, our children at most will acquire 2,300 hours of practice – not nearly enough to prepare them to be college career- and future-ready. Do you know why? Because the teachers who are best prepared to teach these critical skills are the school librarians and

in Ohio, more than a quarter of a million students do not have access to a licensed school librarian. Today’s students need to be able to evaluate sources critically and share with the rest of the world. Working collaboratively with your child’s subject-area teachers, school librarians will help your son and daughter navigate the digital world ethically, and by so doing, your child will be college and career ready. Cheryl Hicks Library Aide, Lake Middle School Library

Levy support urged To the editor: There have been many good things that have happened to the Genoa Area Local School District in the past few years. For example, a previous school board was able to purchase the 60-acre farm adjacent to the high school at a fair market value. The administration was able to obtain a state grant which helped pay for remodeling and building new school buildings. A dedicated athletic booster club was able to donate money and time to build athletic facilities which are second to none in Northwest Ohio. A dedicated and caring staff teaches our children from preschool through precollege. Our high school was recently recognized as one of the best in the nation. We have lived in this community long enough to see our high school graduates succeed in every field imaginable, such as the service sector, skilled trades, farming, medicine, teaching, military service, law enforcement including lawyers and prosecutors, science, small and big business, engineering, the clergy and professional athletics. The list could go on and on. Our students have graduated and become successful citizens. Our school board and administrators have been very frugal in the management of our tax money. One of the most unfortunate things, however, is that the State of Ohio has consistently reduced the monetary support of our schools in recent years. Because of the continued loss of state revenues, the school districts that have citizens who are willing to stand up and to provide local support are the ones that are going to succeed in the near future. We would like to see our schools continue to be a part of a great district. Will you please stand united with us in support of the school levy so we can continue to have a school district we are all proud of? Rosemary and Richard Jones Williston

Strong library To the editor: As principal and administrator of Ottawa County Christian Academy, I ask for our community’s support in seeing the levy proposal for the Oak Harbor Public Library be approved on Nov. 4. Voting “yes” will ensure that it receives the proper funding to provide high-quality service to our community. In its 106-year history, the OHPL has never sought local support through levies. Currently, the library receives 94 percent of its funding through the Public Library Fund from the State of Ohio and the amount it receives has not been increased in nearly 20

years. As you can imagine, cost of materials and upgrades in an ever-growing field of technology requires much more funding. In the past five years, funding has dropped 30 percent due to cuts and overall state of the economy. A “yes” vote will give the library financial stability, restore more hours of operation and increase library material purchases. It will also ensure necessary building maintenance. Our small Christian school relies on the services the OHPL offers. We make weekly trips so our students can enjoy everything the library has to offer. We also utilize their technology to further educate our students. It is a resource we esteem valuable to our students. A strong community depends on individual sacrifice; but it is hardly a sacrifice. A yes vote means a mere $35 per year for the owner of a home with an assessed value of $100,000. Surely, bettering our community is worth that small price tag. Jeremy Bickelhaupt Administrator/Principal Ottawa County Christian Academy

Still waiting To the editor: Walbridge mayor Ed Kolanko sent an email request on Aug. 21 to Congressman Bob Latta to visit as a guest during a village council meeting to address the algal bloom issues in Lake Erie. The message said the mayor had a resident request Rep. Latta attend a council meeting to discuss what is being done to alleviate the algal issue. In response, a member of the congressman’s staff in his Bowling Green office replied, saying she would check with the congressman’s scheduler. Mayor Kolanko replied within minutes, informing the staff member the meetings are held on the first and third Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. and asked to be told ahead of time if the congressman would attend so the mayor could put the visit on the council schedule. The entire exchange of emails took place the afternoon of Aug. 21. It is now October and there is no further response from Rep. Latta’s office. I guess our small community doesn’t deserve a visit from our representative in congress. Apparently it only gets his attention when he can come to our meeting to tell us how much he has accomplished. That would take about three minutes. He certainly doesn’t want to answer any questions that might affect his re-election. Joann Schiavone Walbridge

An important resource To the editor: On the Nov. 4 ballot, there will be a renewal levy to support the Wood County District Public Library. The Wood County Library has been very frugal in the ways that they have used the money generated by the tax. The Library Committee has used the money generated by this tax to remodel both the Bowling Green and the Walbridge libraries, extend hours in Walbridge, buy new materials, and add services. Libraries are a very important resource, especially in these days of electronic communication. The library offers not only physical books to check out but also e-books and magazines, Internet access, music, movies, audio books, Hoopla (an Android

application available with a library card) and computer access for those without a computer. Computers are an important resource, especially for students in all grades doing research for papers and projects. In Walbridge, we have a children’s storytime every week for preschoolers and a computer game night once a month for the older kids. In order to continue all these services at their present level we need to pass this levy. Remember, this is not a new tax; it is a renewal. Kathy Raglow Walbridge

Election policy The Press encourages responses to articles and opinions. In order to provide for fair comment, The Press will have the following policy covering election letters to the editor: The last issue for letters regarding the Nov. 4 general election will be the second issue (Oct. 27) before the election. No letters will be published in the issue immediately prior (Nov. 3) to the election except for letters limited to direct rebuttal of election-related matters appearing in the Oct. 27 paper. No new political information can be introduced in the issue immediately before the election. This is to prevent inaccuracies without a fair chance for correction. Letters are limited to ballot issues. The Press does not print letters about candidates’ races. Letters should be no more than 300 words and include a phone number and address for verification purposes. No anonymous letters will be printed. The deadline is Wednesday, Noon.

Big Band Sound

October, 2004 News: “How does a man in a cave outcommunicate the greatest communications nation?” Richard Holbrooke, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and a member of President Bill Clinton’s cabinet, asked that probing question before he sat down to lunch at the Navy Bistro in East Toledo. Holbrooke met with The Press for an exclusive interview arranged by State Representative Peter Ujvagi. Holbrooke said the Iraqis need to control their destiny. “You have to get the Shiites, the Kurds and the Sunnis to work together,” he said. The bigger problem is that there are one billion Muslims against us and we have no policy to deal with it other than force, he said. What’s missing in today’s approach is trying to understand the Muslim world. “No one in the administration has even tried to understand this issue. What drives people to kill themselves or sympathize with the killers? Why do people name their kids Osama? How does a man in a cave out communicate the world’s greatest communications nation? Why is the message of tolerance and diversity being defeated by a medieval mass murderer whose goal is to return the Muslim world to a 14th century caliph?” Holbrooke also offered his thoughts on Afghanistan. “I was real critical of letting the war lords come back. I think it was a real mistake to let Osama Bin Laden escape when we had him pinned in the mountains of Tora Bora. These war lords are also drug lords. The first thing to do is get rid of the war lords. They are thugs. They gave rise to the Taliban in 1995-96. And, if they remain in power you will never have a strong central government and the Taliban will have a cause,” he said. Under the Taliban there was no opium production. But, since the war lords have returned, Afghanistan is the major opium producer in the world, he said. Getting rid of opium is a very difficult problem. We need to build roads so that farmers can get time-sensitive crops to market to make a living. Opium is a crop of choice because

of the revenue and the fact it isn’t time sensitive. You can haul it out on donkeys, he added. Sports: The Clay volleyball team, 18-4, took to the road to beat Huron, the state’s

October, 1994 News: Lt. Bob Bratton of the Ottawa County Sherriff’s department appeared before millions of viewers watching America’s Most Wanted in an effort to locate the nanny who allegedly bilked a Perrysburg Township couple out of $80,000. The program produced 110 calls and before Bratton could track down the leads, a clerk at a motel in Bowling Green, Virginia called to say the nanny, Diane Conrad, had checked into his motel. She was quickly arrested and, tragically, eight hours later, she died of a heart attack at the Hanover County Jail. Conrad, who had used numerous aliases including Diane Chambers, had scammed couples across the country. A local woman, the last known victim, first told her story to The Press and sent the story to America’s Most Wanted.

Life, just like the weather, is filled with plenty of changes Everyone has their favorite type of weather. When the conditions are favorable, they are happy. During inclement weather they are not. Regardless of whether or not you like the current weather conditions, the weather always changes with time. You can’t change the weather. Complaining about it accomplishes nothing. All you can do is be prepared for and deal with the current conditions. Having contingency plans is good planning. You may not like the rain, but an umbrella or raincoat certainly helps. Life works the same way; conditions fluctuate and may be unpredictable. Everything flows in cycles. Change is the only constant. Being prepared for the unexpected enhances your chances of success. Tough times do occur. There will be circumstances you don’t like. The unpredictable happens. Just like the weather, situations fluctuate. Although you don’t have any impact on the weather, you do play a role in the direction your life takes. Complaining about your circumstances is just as ineffective as complaining about the weather.

You can’t control the environment but you do have control over your response. You do influence your situation. There is a solution for every problem. Identify a problem once, and then spend your effort discovering the appropriate action you should take in order to rectify or mitigate the situation. Plan ahead. Prepare yourself for the unexpected.

formulate contingency plans to deal with them. Have alternative courses of action ready to put into place if needed. Don’t fixate on what might go wrong, just be prepared if something does. For example, prudent boaters wear life jackets. They don’t head out on the water expecting their boat will sink. They don’t give up boating because there are situations where boats have sunk. They are prepared for the unlikely scenario that they might encounter on the water. Learn from your past. Take note of what worked and what didn’t. Avoid failed strategies while repeating successful ones. Good or bad, every experience has something valuable to teach you. Experience is only wasted when you learn nothing from it. Don’t become stuck in adverse circumstances. Tough times don’t last but tough people do. A tough person proactively strives to make the best of a situation, rather than passively waiting for conditions to improve. Take responsibility for your direction. Blaming other people or circumstances prevents you from moving forward. Whining

and complaining accomplishes nothing. Analyze your situation and then make the best decisions you can based on the information you have at hand. Then take action based on your decision. Life is filled with challenges. As much as it would be wonderful to experience only great weather, it doesn’t happen. However, your thoughts, attitude, and actions do impact the circumstances you attract. A positive, can do attitude is a potent tool that helps you get through tough times. Successful people become experts at finding solutions for the problems they encounter. They don’t lament the past. They never throw up their arms in despair. They always move forward, one step at a time, no matter what circumstances they are faced with. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

Counseling Corner Don’t let anger control your life From the American Counseling Association For most of us, our daily lives include a lot of stress and tension. There’s that morning traffic jam, the supervisor who never appreciates us, the kids’ latest problems, the news reports of terrorism reports, bad economic news and local crimes. Unfortunately, for many people, daily stress and tension can build to the point that it only takes one small incident for them to explode, letting their anger get out of control. Experts say anger is the most poorlymanaged emotion in our society, with as many as one in five Americans having an anger control problem. Not being able to manage one’s anger is a major cause of conflicts in both professional and personal relationships. Is anger a problem for you? One way to judge how well you control your anger is to consider whether you’ve ever, during an argument, raised your voice, broken something, pushed, slapped or physically hurt someone, embarrassed yourself, or felt out of control. If any of those apply, consider these actions to help you better manage your anger. A starting point is accepting responsibility for your anger. Anger may be triggered by someone else, but it’s you who lets it happen and grow out of control. It’s also important to recognize the beginning signs of anger. Anger is easier to control when it is still at a low level. Try to identify the cause of your anger. It isn’t someone else, but rather something within you, emotional or psychological from your past, that’s usually the real source of your anger. And when anger does occur, learn to focus on the situation or behavior making you angry, rather than the other person. Criticizing or name-calling doesn’t resolve a problem but merely escalates it. Rather than putting the other person on the defensive and raising the conflict level, use “I” statements to talk about what you’re feeling and experiencing. When anger controls you it can make your life miserable, lead to very real problems and even affect your health.

Plaque lauds work of chaplain and therapy dog By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor. twalro@presspublications.com As she walks through the corridors at Mercy St. Charles Hospital on a recent afternoon, Rev. Sherry Schermbeck is greeted warmly by many hospital staff members she encounters. “Hi! How are you?” “Hey, nice to see you,” they say. Schermbeck, who retired last November after more than 22 years serving as the hospital chaplain, was well known for the faith, the compassion and a healthy dose of humor she brought to her job. For more than half her career at St. Charles, she shared her mission with her partner…a tiny dog who had a big impact on the people she encountered during her 40-hour work week. Gracie, whose registered name was “God’s Amazing Grace,” joined the St. Charles staff in April 2002. For more than 11 years, she came to work every day with Schermbeck. She was paid with countless loving pats on the head and, scratches behind the ear and she had the uncanny ability to know where in the hospital to go to get a Milk Bone treat. She was at work when she became ill Sept. 21, 2013. She died later that day. The pair’s dedication and service has been commemorated by a plaque donated by Eggleston-Meinert-Pavley Funeral Home. St. Charles administration decided to hang the plaque in the corridor near the hospital chapel. The special dog-shaped plaque features a photo of Sherry and Gracie and the tribute, “They both brought smiles & healing to patients, visitors and staff. They loved and were loved.” Eyeing the plaque, Schermbeck lauded the hospital’s administration for allowing her to bring a therapy dog to St. Charles. “ “It was a forward-thinking idea in 2002,” she said. “Although other facilities were allowing therapy dogs to visit with their volunteer owners, I believe Mercy St. Charles was the only one in the area that had a dog in the hospital 40 hours a week.” Schermbeck had proposed the idea to hospital administrators after reading an article about the benefits of pastoral care dogs in healthcare settings. She approached Cathleen Nelson, who was then president and CEO of the hospital, who suggested Schermbeck speak with Sister Dorothy Thum, vice president of Mission Services for Mercy Health Partners. After some discussion, the administrators agreed that pet therapy might integrate well with the faith-based hospital’s holistic approach to healing the body, mind and spirit. Schermbeck agreed to purchase the dog that would become her “partner” and make it a part of her family. “I knew I would bond with whatever dog I worked with, so I wanted it to be mine, so that if I would retire or my job situation would change, we wouldn’t be separated,” she said.

Rev. Sherry Schermbeck, her therapy dog Hope, and Larry Schaffer, of EgglestonMeinert- Pavley Funeral Home. The funeral home donated the plaque, hung near the chapel at Mercy St. Hospital, as a way to recognize Schermbeck and her first therapy dog, Gracie, who died last year after 11 years of service at the hospital. After some research, she chose a Bichon Frise for its small size and nonshedding, hypo-allergenic coat, which would be unlikely to cause problems for people who have dog allergies. “The breed comes from the Canary Islands and means, ‘curly lap dog,’” she said. In support of the program, Pups ‘N’ People Dog Training in Maumee donated training services; East Suburban Animal Hospital donated veterinary care and South Suburban donated grooming services for the dog. Selecting the dog’s name was easy, Schermbeck said. “The name represented my hope that she would be the vehicle of God’s grace, to open doors that might otherwise have been closed, to reach people who might otherwise be unreachable.” Gracie did not disappoint. Schermbeck prayed for her Gracie in the hospital chapel on her first day of “work.” she recalls. Not long after, the two encountered an Asian woman sobbing in the hospital hallway. The woman had come to see her sister, who, unbeknownst to her, had already died. “As she stood there sobbing, speaking little English, Gracie was in my arms and focused intently on her,” Schermbeck recalled. “When she was ready to leave, she kissed me on the cheek, thanked me, and then took Gracie’s head in both of her hands and kissed Gracie on the top of the head and said, ‘Thank you, too.’” Over the years, Schermbeck chronicled a number of “case studies” detailing Gracie’s impact on hospital patients, visitors and staff members. There were many. “When she was at home, she tumbled and played with our other dogs, but when she was here, she seemed to instinctively know when she needed to be still and do her therapy work,” Schermbeck said. “She

developed the sensitivity to know when and where she was needed. “The trainer warned me that she could get burned out, but I never saw it with Gracie…she always happy to come to work,” she said. Typically, Gracie visited patients by referral from staff or families. On occasion, she’d take a “wrong turn” into a room and more often than not, she’d find a new friend. Often, the patient would open up to Schermbeck while Gracie snuggled up close on the bed. “She opened doors, sparked conversations that I might not have been so successful at myself,” she said. About four years ago, Gracie was joined by Hope, another Bichon Frise who, literally wandered into the lobby one day after sneaking out of a car outside the hospital. “I got paged from about three people who wanted to know if I was missing Gracie because she was in the gift shop,” Schermbeck said. The chaplain eventually found the owner of the dog, a woman from Oak Harbor. The woman was ill and expressed concern about being able to care for the dog, whom she called Bailey. Schermbeck, agreed to take the dog on a temporary basis and eventually adopted her. She renamed the dog Hope. “We took her for training; Gracie was also a good teacher for her and eventually Hope joined the pastoral care team, too,” Schermbeck said, adding, “She visited her former owner several times when she was a patient at St. Charles before she died. Though Schermbeck and Hope retired Nov. 1, 2013, patients and visitors still ask about the therapy dog, often telling staff members their “Gracie stories.”

How you can find time for fitness Finding time to exercise is no small feat for many men and women. Obligations at home and at the office can make it hard to fit in a workout, a familiar quandary for men and women with multiple commitments. Though it’s not always easy to fit in a workout when juggling multiple responsibilities, men and women must consider the responsibility they have with regard to maintaining their physical and mental health. The United States Department of Health and Human Services advises that healthy adults get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, and that such activity should be spread out over the course of the week. In addition, the DHHS also advises that healthy adults include strength training exercises in their workout regimens at least twice a week. Such a workout schedule can improve both physical and mental health, making it easier for men and women to handle their hectic schedules. While such recommendations may seem manageable, many men and women still feel as if there’s just not enough time in the day for them to incorporate a daily exercise regimen. The following are a few ways such men and women can find time for fitness. * Take a walking lunch. Many professionals have heard of a “working lunch,” but those strapped for time to exercise might want to take a walking lunch instead. Rather than sitting at your desk or in your favorite booth at a nearby restaurant on your lunch hour each day, consider squeezing in some time to walk during those 30-60 minutes you normally spend eating or catching up on office gossip with coworkers. * Exercise in the morning. Research has shown that men and women who exercise in the mornings exercise on a more consis-

Research has shown that men and women who exercise in the mornings exercise on a more consistent basis than those who exercise later in the day. tent basis than those who exercise later in the day, including after leaving the office at the end of the workday. * Prepare meals ahead of time. If working out in the morning simply won’t work out for you, then consider planning meals in advance so you can free up time between the office and dinner each night. For example, slow cookers and crockpots make it possible to start making dinner in the early morning and require little or no effort once you arrive home in the evening. * Work while you workout. Smartphones and tablets have made it easier than ever to get work done while you’re away from work. This includes getting some work done while you’re getting in your weekly

recommended aerobic activity on the treadmill, elliptical machine or exercise bike. * Get off the couch. Many men and women prefer to unwind on the couch as they catch up on their favorite television shows and movies. But such unwinding should not come at the expense of working out. Much like catching up on work at the gym, you also can catch up on your favorite shows and movies while at the gym. Many smartphones and tablets now have apps that allow users to access subscription streaming services, so users who can’t find time to exercise should take advantage of such apps and watch their favorite shows and movies from the treadmill instead of the couch.

The many benefits of massage therapy Advertisements for vacation destinations often paint couples’ massages as the premier romantic activity. It’s true that massages can be relaxing and sensual, making such sessions ideal gifts. Yet, massages aren’t just sultry oils and New Age music. They can actually be very good for overall health. Massage therapy is beneficial in various ways. Massage is no longer just available in upscale health clubs or luxury spas. Massage spas have cropped up in malls, hospitals, clinics, and even office buildings, making massage therapy that much more accessible. The Mayo Clinic notes that while more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, it may be helpful for a variety of health ailments. In addition to easing sore muscles, reducing joint pain and help-

ing soft tissue strains or injuries, massage can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and calm feelings of stress. Massage reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This helps to lift spirits and can often lower blood pressure. Massage also may help to boost the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, which are associated with depression. According to Health magazine, massage also can help promote healthy sleep. It has something to do with the effect of massage on delta waves, which are the brain waves connected to deep sleep. There is some evidence that massage can also increase white blood cell counts, promoting improved immunity. Many people rely on massages to relieve pain. According to a report published in 2011 in the American College of Physi-

cians’ “Annals of Internal Medicine,” massage helps people in pain feel and function better than those who do not receive treatment. Massage can alleviate stiffness and pain and promote a better range of motion. And pain relief is not just for the back, arms and legs. Massage can reduce risk for migraines and decrease pain from tension headaches. Massage even has beauty benefits. Rubbing the face and scalp can promote blood flow and encourage lymphatic drainage. This can add vitality to the complexion and plump up the skin. Dull hair may appear more shiny and revitalized. People can explore different types of massage and experiment with what works best for their ailments. Everything from Swedish massage to reflexology is offered at massage clinics.

Have a flu-free winter season Spending significant time in close proximity to others indoors can make people more susceptible to the flu. As a result, winter, when people typically spend more time indoors than outdoors, is often dominated by the sniffling and sneezing synonymous with the flu. But men and women can take steps to protect themselves from the flu this season. * Get a flu shot. Some people prefer to avoid getting a flu shot because they want to build up their natural immunities or they believe the shots can make them sick. But most flu shots contain an inactive virus that will not make you sick, and will only trigger your body’s immune system response to a foreign invader. It can take a couple of weeks for full immunity to develop, so it’s possible to still get sick even after a flu shot has been administered. Also, a flu shot does not guarantee recipients won’t get the flu. People can still get the flu after receiving a flu shot, as it may be another strain of the virus. But flu shots are largely effective. * Quit smoking. Smoking can disable mechanisms in your breathing passageways that serve as natural repellants to the flu. These include the hairs on the lungs that brush away contaminants. * Avoid sick people. When those around you are sick, it is best to keep your distance, especially when those people have the flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that people with the flu can spread it to others up to six feet away. Flu viruses are spread mainly by droplets of bodily fluids expelled during coughing, sneezing and even talking. * Be especially cautious when pregnant. According to Dr. Cameron Wolfe, an infectious disease specialist at Duke University Medical Center, women who are pregnant are at a higher risk of complications and even death from influenza. Doctors don’t fully understand why, but many feel that because the flu can compromise a woman’s ability to breathe well, this makes it difficult for oxygen to be passed on to the fetus. * Get plenty of rest and good food. Adequate sleep and a healthy diet can bolster your immune system.

We know that women who are involved with the Go Red movement live healthier lives, with nearly 90 percent making at least one healthy behavior change, more than one-third losing weight, more than 50 percent increasing their exercise, six out of 10 changing their

diets and about one-third talking to their personal doctors about developing heart health plans.” To learn more about heart health, call 1-800-AHA-USA1 or visit heart.org.

Help “Kick Hunger” Main Street Ventures and its restaurants – Ciao! Restaurant in Sylvania, Revolution Grille in Toledo and Real Seafood and Zia’s Restaurant at The Docks – are aiming to “kick hunger” through the “Taste of the NFL” program. Family House is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization that provides emergency homeless shelter, food and services to almost 300 families each year. “Taste of the NFL,” being held with Heidelberg Distibuing and Gallo Wineries is a dine/donate program that will help Family House “Kick Hunger.” Through Nov. 30, for each bottle of wine sold, a meal will be donated to Family House. Terry Kretz, area district manager for Main Street Ventures, said, “Family House has a unique mission to keep families together through a crisis. At our participating restaurants we want to help during that period of homelessness. We are pleased that our donation will strengthen that support allowing for meals to be purchased for families who live at the center.” Renee Palacios, executive director of Family House said, “We are so thankful that Main Street Ventures, through the Taste of the NFL program, has chosen Family House to benefit from a portion of

these wine sales.” To make reservations at participating restaurants, call 1-888-456-3463

Survivor Art Show Area cancer patients will share their art and their stories at the Third Annual Survivor Art Show Friday, Oct. 17 from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 18 from 2 to 4 p.m. at The Victory Center, 5532 W. Central Ave., Suite B., Toledo. All types and varieties of art expression will be included in the event. Many of the 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, program director. “Art expression is one of the ways that people cope with the extraordinary changes they have gone through in their lives. Since art expression is an individual process, the scope of the collection ranges from glass mosaic and cross stich, to collage and painting.” The Victory Center hosts the Healthy Spirit Art Therapy program, held with the support of Key Bank and the Toledo Community Foundation, and led by local art therapist Areka Foster. Program participation is free for any local cancer survivor and is held twice a month. Art show pieces may have been created during the Healthy Spirit Art Therapy program, or by individual survivors working independently at home The presentation is free and opened to the public. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, call 419-5317600.

Distillery to offer new drinking experience in Oak Harbor A local distiller is hoping to bring a new drinking experience to downtown Oak Harbor. Joe Helle, representing Oak N Harbor Distillery, 136 W. Water St., asked village council on Monday for its support in his new endeavor. Helle has secured the required federal permit for the business and is now waiting for a state liquor department inspection for the manufacture and sale of alcohol. That permit, should it be issued, will come before council in the near future. “Really, my future is in your hands when that license comes across your desk,” said Helle, who attempted to quell any concerns about the business. “This will be the first legal distillery in Oak Harbor. It’s not beer. It’s whiskey, vodka and bourbon,” said Helle. “We’re not a bar where you can sit down, get a beer and watch the game.” The distillery, he said, is about “the experience.” Patrons will watch Helle hand craft the spirits in a still with a 53-gallon boiler system located in the refurbished 1,200-square-foot store front the business occupies along the village’s main street. He is only legally able to share four quarter-ounce samples with someone or

sell 1.5 liters in a single visit. “And safety is paramount,” Helle insisted. “We’ll be manufacturing it but there will be no open flame in the building.” Resident Dennis Shiets said he thought there were already too many bars in town. This enterprise is different, Helle responded. “It’s a specialty product. It’s a handcrafted alcohol you can’t get here unless it’s from someone’s garage.” Mayor Bill Eberle complimented Helle on his new venture. “I personally look forward to it. It’s a neat little niche,” the mayor said. It will also stir up interest in Oak

Harbor, Helle added. “They are a draw. It’s all about marketing. And people aren’t going to come if my product isn’t good.” Future endeavors include creating a “Sippers Club” in which members receive souvenirs such as T-shirts and personalized flasks. While he has no product to sell presently, Helle invited council and others to the distillery’s open house during the Oak Harbor Apple Festival. Fiscal clerk search The search for a new fiscal clerk has been narrowed to five candidates, according to Eberle. They will be interviewed at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 14 in village council chambers. The new hire will replace fiscal officer Debbie Carpenter who submitted her resignation in September for personal family reasons. Her last day is Oct. 31. Land auction About eight acres of village-owned land on the western side of Port Clinton go on the auction block at 3 p.m. Nov. 4 in village council chambers. The auction will be run by Len Partin of Jack Bradley Realty. A website is up now regarding the sale and fliers have been mailed to those who expressed interest in the parcel in years past. Oak Harbor has owned the land along

State Route 163 near the corporation limits for about 30 years. It was purchased in hopes of using it for future water system development. However, the village joined the Ottawa County Regional Water System, its current provider, and the land became obsolete, Village Administrator Randy Genzman said. The village has tried unsuccessfully to privately sell the land for years. Partin will meet with village council Oct. 20 to discuss pricing guidelines for the auction. Trick-or-treat hours The village set Halloween trick-or-treat hours for 6-7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31. There is no home football game that night, Police Chief Steve Weirich noted. New crossing guards Three crossing guards have been hired to patrol the streets surrounding Oak Harbor Middle School, the chief said. One person is already on the job. The other two should be on-site by next week. Restructuring of the Benton-CarrollSalem School District changed the makeup of the student body in recent years. There is more foot traffic as well as much younger students, including fourth graders, in the mix which intensified the safety issues at the already congested area, the chief explained before.

Balance, leadership are key to Gibsonburg’s 6-0 start By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It’s been a long time coming for Gibsonburg. The Golden Bears, who have not had a winning season since 2001, appear to be turning the corner in year five under Coach Steve Reser and were off to a 6-0 start heading into Friday’s non-league game at Hardin Northern. Gibsonburg has been dominant as its passing attack and stout defense have enabled the Bears to outscore opponents 279-121 while beginning play in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference with a 3-0 mark. In addition, the prospect of a Division VI playoff spot is looking better and better. After six weeks, the Bears were ranked fourth in the region, trailing Tinora, Spencerville, and Convoy Crestview — all also undefeated. Trailing the Golden Bears is Lima Central Catholic (4-2), Wynford (5-1), defending state runner-up Wayne Trace (5-1) and Van Buren (5-1). Gibsonburg quarterback Matt Tille, a four-year starter, has helped power the offensive attack. During week six at Robert E. Krotzer Field, Tille rushed for 213 yards and threw for another 174 to lead the Golden Bears to a 62-35 victory over TAAC foe Edon. The week prior, in Gibsonburg’s 58-24 victory over Danbury, Tille threw for 314 yards and four touchdowns and carried the ball 15 times for 133 yards and two scores. His ability to run and throw the ball keeps defenses off balance and serves as the offense’s fulcrum. Tille has a solid group of receivers to throw to, including four-year letterman Derek Angelone, as well as Erik Jahna, Marcus Tille and Griffin Geary, among others. There’s been pressure on them to replace the production lost by the graduation of the speedy Isaih Arriaga and Adam Copley, and they answered the call so far. In the win over the Lakers, Angelone caught five passes for 132 yards and a score, Geary had two catches for 67 yards and a touchdown, Jahna’s one reception was a 51-yard touchdown and Marcus Tille had three catches for 47 yards. Angelone caught a 46-yard TD pass and Jahna had a 24-yard TD reception from Tille in the win

(Photo by Jeff Holcomb) over Edon. “They’ve really stepped up to the challenge and taken over the reins,” Matt Tille said. “It’s nice throwing the ball and knowing that they can go up and make a play.” As with any offense, the position players only have success if the offensive line blocks well, and Reser says the Bears’ five men up front have done that. From left to right, Tyler Hovis, Ian Taylor, Trent Hovis, Billy Ruth and Skyler Shively, a group that includes just one senior, has given Matt Tille time to throw while opening holes for Josh Dyer. “They’ve been awesome,” Tille said. “They’ve stepped up this year. They’re one of the best offensive lines I’ve had throughout my career here. They don’t mess up too many times, and when they do, they make up for it. I’m really happy with the way they’re going, and they’re always ready to learn.” Reser is pleased with their performance, too.

“The offensive line is doing a great job,” he said. “I told the team, ‘If we have a good line on both sides of the ball, we’ll have a good team. They don’t get enough credit, and no team’s line gets enough credit. We’ve really pushed getting into the weight room and our boosters have helped to revamp (the weight lifting facility).” The defense has more than held up to its share of the bargain, too, allowing a respectable 20.2 points per game. It may be three scores per game, but it’s enough to give the high-powered offense a chance to score even more. The defensive line, which includes A.J. Blausey and Bryce Wright at the ends, Shively and Brandon Campbell in the middle, is big and athletic. The linebackers, which include Ryan Clark and Alex Vargo on the outside and Dyer and Tyler Hovis on the inside, have consistently swarmed to the ball and the secondary, which includes Angelone, Marcus Tille and Mateo Flores, have kept the opposing teams’ passing

attack in check. Reser credits his kids for gaining a better understanding of defensive coordinator Steve Hankish’s scheme. “Our staff understands what is expected of them (and) our players are doing a nice job of just reading their keys,” Reser said. “Coach Hankish does a nice job, and everybody else on the staff is doing a great job. The kids are very coachable. “If they understand schemes, that’s 90 percent of the battle. If you have some speed, athleticism and size, that helps even more. This is year two for Coach ‘Hank’ and this defense, and the players are putting themselves in position to make plays. It seems like our defense is really rallying to the football. We want our guys to fly to the football. We push that in practice and we do a lot of pursuit drills.” Tille credits the defense with helping to take some of the pressure off the offense. “I know they have my back,” Tille said. “I know that if I’m not having the best game, they’ll pick it up. It’s nice knowing that I can go onto the field and not have to worry about getting a TD. Obviously, we want to get a touchdown every time, but it’s nice to know they’re playing so well. It’s nice to never have to be in a hole.” Tille and his fellow seniors also have an understanding that finishing their season off on a high note can help to complete the rebuilding process while sustaining their legacy. “It’s extremely important,” Tille said. “We came into the year and there was talk amongst the seniors to leave a legacy. That’s been our drive throughout the entire summer — just leave your legacy. One day, you’re going to want to talk about that.” Tille believes that the leadership of this year’s senior class has been instrumental in helping the team to remain focused. He says that senior class is a special group, one that includes Tille, Angelone, Ickes, Vargo, Blausey, Wright, Campbell, Tyler Hovis and Julian Arriaga, who is currently battling an injury. “Everybody has stayed together this year,” Tille said. “The leadership out of our class has been amazing. Everybody knew that if they wanted to play, they had to put the time in the weight room and the conditioning. The work in the offseason has been different in the past.”

Waite seeks to end 51-year championship drought By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It may not look like it yet, but Waite football has come a long way. So far, that the possibility remains Waite could win its first Toledo City League football championship in 51 years. In the season’s first six games, the Indians (2-4 overall) have equaled their win total from last season while showing resolve. Waite’s game at Bowsher this Friday will provide the Indians with a challenge that could propel them further along as they look to climb the ranks of the City League. The Rebels (2-4, 1-0 CL), who opened CL play with a 48-18 victory over Woodward, won the conference title last season and finished 8-2 overall. Waite coach Dan Chipka’s first victory as a head coach came when his club defeated east side rival, Clay, in thrilling fashion, 28-26, for the Oil Barrel Trophy. The Indians later beat Rogers, 50-20, in the first game of the City League slate to open 1-0 in the conference. Quarterback Jeremy Pratt led the way, using his dual-threat abilities to run a multi-faceted offense that includes tripleoption concepts. Pratt currently leads the CL in two categories, passing (791 yards) and touchdowns (10), and is third in rushing (838). He’s gotten help from running back Nate Houle (349 rushing yards), Anthony Huff (190 receiving yards) and

GAME OF THE WEEK City League Showdown Waite Indians @ Bowsher Rebels Friday, October 17 7 p.m.

Anthony Ashford (180 receiving yards). Chipka says the victory over the Eagles was an emotional turning point. “It was a magical experience,” he said. “We as a coaching staff have been harping on the kids every day about success, doing the little things right, being processoriented and looking at every day to make sure we’re doing the things right to become better. I think the players, they needed to see the results and see the victory and taste the victory. When it came together for us against Clay, it was awesome, it was sweetness. A couple kids were crying, a couple members of the community were crying. It was special.” Chipka credits Pratt for taking the lead and serving as the offense’s catalyst. “I can’t speak enough about Jeremy’s attitude and leadership, and his production speaks for itself,” Chipka said. “I think

Jeremy is going to surprise a lot of people and not only distance himself as the league’s leading passer but also as the league’s leading rusher. With the offense we run, it’s quarterback-driven. It’s predicated on the play of the quarterback, whether it’s run or pass. In the preseason, Jeremy was still learning the offense and still going through those growing pains. He’s grown as a young man and an athlete in leaps and bounds.” It hasn’t been just Pratt. He’s gotten help from Houle, Ashford and Jermaine Brown, who scored Waite’ first touchdown in the victory over Rogers. “Houle, Brown and Ashford, those guys are the ones getting the tough yards,” Chipka said. “Especially Nate Houle. The way he’s been able to run, the third-andone yard, the fourth-and-inches’, the plays we desperately need, Nate’s been delivering. That’s what leads to the success of the offense, and then Jeremy breaks the ensuing play, and people don’t see that when they read the paper. When we ride that guy’s back and Jeremy gives Nate the football, those are some tough yards and he’s able to get. Four yards, six yards, sometimes 12.” It’s not just the victories that indicate the Indians are headed in the right direction, Chipka says it’s the fight they’ve shown in some of their setbacks. Three of Waite’s losses came to teams currently in playoff contention. Bellevue, which led the Indians by just six points midway through the third quarter before pulling away for a 42-20 victory,

was ranked No. 1 in Division IV, Region 12 after six weeks. Dover, which defeated Waite on Sept. 26, was ranked seventh in D-III, Region 9 and Genoa stood ninth in D-IV, Region 12. “It was a six-point game in the third quarter with Bellevue,” Chipka said. “That’s what I was alluding to — we are getting to the point where we are tasting victory. We have to learn how to close out games. We have to seize the moment.” More than anything, Chipka is hoping his team can learn valuable lessons after playing a tough non-conference schedule. “We’ve talked about continuing to play the best in the state of Ohio,” he said. “We needed to find our identity. We were a tough, blue-collar football team that will play hard for four quarters. And the team embraced it. “After a few tough losses, we had to move in a tough direction, we had to pump the positivity. We told the players, ‘We’ve competed with these teams. We need to become winners and finish it off.’ We wanted to learn how the opposition does the little things right, how they set a tempo and attitude, the managerial things, not so much the Xs and Os. I think it hits home for the kids. “There’s only one way to get better and that’s through hard work and perseverance through tough times. We know what we were up against and we know that we had to compete at a championship level. I’m so proud of these kids because they’ve bought into what we’re teaching them.”

Rachael Kuecher ‘born to lead’ Clay soccer By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay senior soccer player Rachael Kuecher doesn’t know where she wants to go to college, but she does know that she wants to be a physical therapist some day. Maybe she should think about coaching, too, because as Eagles coach Scott Wamer will tell you, the 5-foot-4 defender has the physical demeanor and thought process of a born leader. “She’s a leader,” Wamer said. “When she speaks, the other girls listen.” Asked what being a team leader means to her, Kuecher doesn’t hesitate. “It’s important to me to be a leader to my teammates because I want to make sure they understand everything, like how important the game is, and I want them to understand my passion for the game,” said Kuecher, who has a 4.1 GPA. “We have so many young girls on our team, and sometimes being young on a field where you’re playing a senior- or junior-filled roster, they might be timid to speak their mind. I want to show them it’s OK.” Clay (13-0-2) has used Kuecher’s leadership – not to mention Karleigh Clere’s nine goals and 19 assists and Alex Vartorella’s 10 goals and five assists – to reach a No. 3 ranking in the Division I state coaches’ poll. The Eagles, who beat visiting Findlay 1-0 on Wednesday, can finish off the program’s second undefeated season ever with a home win Saturday against Fremont Ross. Clay would win the outright Three Rivers Athletic Conference title, its second in three years, with a Notre Dame loss or tie against St. Ursula Academy on Wednesday. The Eagles have already clinched at least a tie. Kuecher has only played for Wamer’s varsity squad for the past two seasons, though it’s not entirely her fault that she wasn’t on the team as a freshman and sophomore. She has overcome a torn ACL to both knees, the first one occurring on the basketball court as an eighth-grader. “I was dribbling and I did a cutback

Within four months I was able to play for the jayvee team. That was a big accomplishment and I was really excited about that.” Kuecher tore her meniscus on the same knee during a summer soccer game heading into her sophomore year. “A girl tackled me from behind and

son, playing on Clay’s junior varsity basketball team, she suffered an ACL tear to her left knee. “We were at Whitmer, and with 13 seconds to go I jumped up and when I came back down I tore my other ACL,” Kuecher said. “It was a really upsetting moment for me. I was finally getting back into the swing of things as far as my right knee getting better. I was in therapy all the time and I worked so hard to come back. That was an upsetting time, but I just needed to work hard and come back for my junior year of soccer. That was the only thing I cared about.” Wamer said there’s no way you can tell Kuecher has overcome two major knee injuries. “Rachael right now is probably our most tenacious player,” the coach said. “She is very good at winning balls out of the air. She’s physical. Rachael has played with a level of high intensity and a lot of heart this year. She plays with an intensity that not many of my girls do. She knows how to turn it up a gear.” Kuecher said it may “sound crazy,” but she related that she has no problem sacrificing her body for her teammates – despite her medical history. “When athletes get injured, sometimes they’re scared to go back on the field,” she said. “I missed playing so much. When I was released (medically) and was able to go back out there, I wanted to make sure every second counted...If I hurt my knee again, I made every second count. I don’t have a problem doing that. Every day I want to know I put in my hardest effort.” Kuecher started sounding like a coach again when she was asked what an undefeated regular season would mean to her, being a senior and rehabbing two ACL injuries. “The record means a lot,” she said, “but to me they’re just numbers. Honestly, as a team we try not to talk about how many wins we have or what our ranking may be. At the end of the day, they’re just numbers. We have exceptionally hard working girls who are always working to make themselves better. I’m extremely proud of my teammates.”

Clay coach inducted into Northern’s hall

*Press Game of the Week

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Kristopher Oberdick, a 2002 sport management major and basketball athlete at Ohio Northern University who lives in Oregon, was inducted into ONU's athletic hall of fame on Oct. 3 as part of homecoming weekend. Oberdick, who played prep basketball at St. John’s Jesuit, exploded onto the ONU scene as a senior and had one of the greatest seasons in Ohio Northern men’s basketball history in 2000-01. Picked to finish sixth in the Ohio Athletic Conference during the preseason, Oberdick was named captain of an ONU team that had graduated three 1,000-point scorers the year before. Playing in what was thought to be a rebuilding season, Oberdick propelled the Polar Bears to a 27-4 record and a No. 1 national ranking for the final four weeks of the regular season. The Polar Bears won the OAC Regular Season and Tournament titles in convincing fashion and reached the Final Four of the NCAA Division III Tournament. Oberdick was named First Team AllAmerican, First Team All-Region and OAC Player of the Year after leading ONU in scoring, assists, steals and blocked shots. He currently ranks 31st all-time at Ohio Northern with 1,084 career points. Oberdick is employed by Oregon City Schools as a teacher, junior varsity basketball coach and junior varsity golf coach at Clay. He and his wife, Rebecca (Lee), a 2002 ONU graduate, live with their children Grant (6) and Grady (2), and are expecting a third in January.

Doubles team sought to be Clay’s first state qualifiers By J. Patrick Eaken and Stephanie Szozda sports@presspublications.com The Clay doubles team of seniors Bailey Coughlin and Haley Orr won a sectional championship at Sandusky High School, breezing through three matches undefeated. Coughlin-Orr was the top seed and received a bye on the first round, and then defeated Fremont Ross freshmen Brianna Palm and Mijara Quick 6-0, 6-0 in the quarterfinals. In a semi-final match, Coughlin-Orr downed the Norwalk team of sophomores Anessa Berry and Kaitlyn Stoll 6-2, 6-2. The Clay team won the championship over another Norwalk team consisting of juniors Karlee Talkington and Johnna Thomas, 6-3, 6-3. Coughlin-Orr advanced to the Bowling Green State University district tournament that ran Wednesday through Saturday with hopes of advancing on to state from there. The state tournament is Oct. 17-18 at Ohio State University’s outdoor courts and Hilliard Davidson High School. If there is rain, that tournament moves to the Elysium Tennis Center, Plain City. Because of their No. 1 finish at sectional, Coughlin-Orr returned to a top seed at districts, but only the top two finishers from the BGSU district advanced to state. If Coughlin-Orr advanced, Coach Walt Ralph believes they would be the first girls’ tennis players from Clay to qualify for state. Coach Walt Ralph really believed they stood a chance. “They had a nice sectional and I think they are pretty excited about the draw that they have going into districts,” Ralph said. “I guess I would say ‘yes’ — I think they have a chance. We’re playing a second dou-

your mouth. We’ve done a lot of drills and practices with it. They just kind of continue to talk with each other throughout the points,” Ralph said. “They were really skilled singles players for us. They are really kind of great athletes, they have really good footwork, and I think that oftentimes we try to catch up with some of the more polished players with just drive and intensity,” Ralph said. “I think we really want to infuse that refuse to lose spirit, I guess. We want them to keep it within themselves and just fight, refuse to give up points until the ball bounces twice, and that’s what we talk about all the time,” the longtime Clay coach continued. “They kind of motivate each other, too. Bailey has some really strong ground strokes and Haley has really continued to develop an impressive net game, so they are nice complements for each other.” The other Clay doubles team, sophomore Alyana Rodriguez and junior Allie Reichert, the No. 2 seed, also received a first round bye at the sectional, but lost to Ashland freshman Mary Mooney and senior Hannah Smith in a closely contested 6-3, 7-6(2) match that saw the second set go into a tiebreaker.

Clay senior Bailey Coughlin is a first team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference singles player. (Press photo by Stephanie Szozda) bles team from Anthony Wayne in the first round, so I definitely feel good about that. Looking into the draw, there is reason to feel good about their chances in general.” “One thing we’ve definitely been stressing is communication. There are two of you on the court, now, so you’ve got to know what each other is doing, so open

Coughlin first team As a result, the second Clay team did not advance to the district meet, but the Ashland team that defeated them did, and so did both Norwalk teams that CoughlinOrr faced. Coughlin is a first team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference player for her play at singles during the season and Orr and Hannah Kuhlman are second team. Clay honorable mention selections are Reichert and Rodriguez. The Lady Eagles finished second in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, tied with

St. Ursula Academy. Coach Walt Ralph, who has been at the helm of the program since 1996, said the season has been a pleasant surprise. Ralph said last year’s season was memorable because of five seniors, Cassidy Coughlin, Jennifer Belkofer, Emilie Roman, Jenn Lucas and Rachel Nelson. He thought it would be difficult for this year’s team to follow their accomplishments, but they came through. “It’s a tough act to follow. Last year was a terrific team,” Ralph said. Coach Ralph said competing against SUA, Notre Dame Academy, Central Catholic and the rest of the TRAC is never easy, but it helps when tournament play approaches. NDA is ranked No. 10 in the D-I state coaches’ poll. “Money is a little bit of an obstacle but most of it is opportunity. A lot of schools that we play, their players were exposed to tennis at a much younger age than most of our athletes are in Oregon,” Ralph said. “So we do have a lot of catching up to do. So I would say that the two things that I think are true in helping us close that gap is the girls’ willingness to put extra time in. So, we work awfully hard in the offseason. Whether it is something organized by us and our team, or they just get out there and play, that’s one big piece I think,” the Clay coach continued. “The second one is that we try to remind ourselves that although other teams and players have maybe more tennis experience than us, we can close that gap with fight. We can close that gap with some other pieces and be true about us regardless of our tennis experiences. So we talk a lot about foot work and scrambling and just refusing to let a ball bounce twice is something that we talk about basically every single practice.”

Waite’s Vanessa Skouroukos City’s Player of the Year By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com It’s time for Waite sophomore tennis player Vanessa Skouroukos to move to the next level, says first-year coach Ted Morse. Skouroukos has never been beaten in Toledo City League play, winning the No. 1 singles championship two straight years. This year, she is CL Player of the Year. The challenge for Morse is trying to find her more competition. “She’s a great player. I tried to beef up the schedule a little bit so she can get some competition outside the City,” Morse said. “It was kind of an eye-opener for her because she did get to play some tougher players, but she held her own. She played real and if she wants to go to the next level, she is going to have to play over the winter and continue to play a lot better players, superior opponents. No question about it.” The only problem was, in the sectional tournament opener, she lost to Start’s Kamille Boyd, the same girl she had defeated three other times this season. “She didn’t play particularly well at sectionals. I told her it’s tough to beat somebody four times during a season,” Morse said. So, he believes it’s his role now to prepare her to not only repeat as City champion the next two years, but be able to have

be a great player but there are a lot of parts to her game that need to get better to get out of sectionals. I talked to some of the other players that we know, and they gave us some information about getting into leagues for a good reasonable price. I mean, you don’t have to pay too much. “I told her, ‘If you even want to play college tennis, your serve and volley has to be more consistent. Take it to the next level.’ She can beat anybody in the City she wants to beat pretty consistently, but if she wants to beat the Notre Dames, the St. Ursulas, the Perrysburgs, she is going to have play more in the offseason. I’m not saying don’t play basketball or track, but not just pick up a racket in the spring time.” Morse says Skouroukos is a “gym rat,” and so were many of her teammates. As a result, he had to talk several other players into coming out for their first year of tennis, but he says it wasn’t a tough sell. “We took fourth in the City, but I was hoping to do a little better. My doubles teams never played tennis before, so we took some punches at doubles, but they got better from day one to now, every day that they played. My second doubles took third and my first doubles took fourth, which I thought was pretty good.” In No. 1 singles after receiving a first round bye, the seeded Skouroukos opened second City League play with a 6-0, 6-0 vic-

tory over an opponent from Scott before taking down Boyd in the championship, 6-3, 6-1. In the sectional, she opened with a 6-1 first set win, but must have let her guard down because Boyd responded by taking the next two sets, 7-5, 6-4. Still, Morse says Skouroukos was at her best when the season ended. “I’m seeing her be on the offense more, not try to just push the ball, but going for a shot and being more aggressive,” Morse said. “At No. 1 singles, you’ve got to be able to step into a ball and hit winners, and not just hit 50 ground strokes back on each point. You have to be aggressive. She also had an ankle injury all year she had to overcome.” Morse should know — he played high school tennis at Perrysburg and then one year collegiately at Ohio University. Skouroukos has been playing tennis since she was a youth. Skouroukos was also selected to the All-City League first team, while teammate Jasmine Glennon, at second singles, is second team after finishing third in the league tournament. Waite honorable mention selections are Shirly Lawson and Kaira Pratter. Start won the CL championship with 21 points, followed by Bowsher (18), Scott (15), Waite (13), Woodward (8) and Rogers (0).

nspirational essage of the

eek: Who is the Least of Your Brothers?

Jesus tells His followers that failing to feed and clothe the least of their brothers, and failing to visit them when they are ill or in prison, is tantamount to failing to do those things for him. But, who are the least of our brothers? In a literal sense, the least of our brothers are those at the periphery of society: the homeless and those living in destitute poverty or marginalized by lives of crime or addiction. These are people who desperately need our help, whether they are aware of it or not. But, there is another class of people who might also be considered the least of our brothers; that is, those whom we marginalize in our own minds because of fear, prejudice, or other subjective reasons. Sometimes we marginalize others by stereotyping them as members of a particular

Oregon

group, or perhaps by failing to adequately recognize or listen to them. Interestingly, these people may be the polar opposites of the first group (i.e., they may be wealthy, high-status, attractive individuals) but, we may still fail to treat them like genuine people for one reason or another. If that is the case, then we should also consider them to be the “least of our brothers.” The upshot of all this is simple. We should treat everyone we come into contact with as if they are our brother. That is, we should try to see the unique goodness and humanity in everyone, and treat others with kindness, respect and earnest solicitation. Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me. -R.S.V. Matthew 25:45
