Northwood will see a new mayor for the first time in 15 years. City councilmen Randy Kozina and Edward Schimmel are the mayoral candidates seeking voter support in the Nov. 3 election. The Press asked the candidates questions to help voters decide who they want to be the next mayor. Here is what they had to say: What will be your priorities if you are elected mayor?

Edward Schimmel: My priorities would be economic development, strengthening of the zoning code, and stricter enforcement of the laws in order to clean up the city. I want to build closer relationships with our current businesses in order to address their needs. We need to clean up the look of Woodville Road. If we create a friendly business environment in our city, and a more appealing look, we should attract new businesses without difficulty. You have been on city council for several years. Why should voters pick you as mayor? Randy Kozina: I feel my experiences on city council Continued on page 6

Marina District

Can next mayor be the one to see it? By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Of seven candidates running for Toledo’s mayor, three have served as mayor before, one is the spouse of someone who served and passed away, two ran for mayor at least once before, and the seventh is a city council member. That means all have addressed or dealt with Marina District issues before, but all seven still believe that the 127-acre riverfront property along the east side of the Maumee will be developed someday. The question is, will one of these, when elected, be able to see vertical development? The seven are vying to fill the final two years remaining on the term of the late D. Michael Collins, who passed away after serving only 13 months in office. Wednesday night, all seven appeared at the East Toledo Family Center for a debate moderated by Press General Manager John Szozda and hosted by the East Toledo Club and One Voice for East Toledo. About 100 residents and neighborhood leaders filled the gymnasium. What to do with the Marina District was the first question presented, which did not surprise city council member and coffee shop owner Sandy Spang, who proposes a mixed-use residential and commercial development. “I can certainly understand why that

“

...that is how cities that are winning are accomplishing great things.

“

Randy Kozina: My first priority is to pursue every legal avenue to clean up abandoned properties and buildings. The duration from complaint to compliance must be streamlined to enable the situation to be resolved much quicker. While many of us want the Woodville Mall site and other abandoned buildings to be returned to their original use, it won’t always be feasible. We must also force owners to remove building at their expense, not taxpayers’, if possible.

was the lead-off question because you’ve certainly been waiting for a long time for that piece of property to be developed,” Spang said. “We need a strategic plan for the entire waterfront property that will be comprehensive. We need to stop waiting for a developer to ride in on their white horse and work with developers that are already here — you (local developer) take the residential part, you take this piece, and you take that piece. “Collaboration — that is how cities that are winning are accomplishing great things,” Spang continued. “I’ve seen other cities where there is great cooperation for a shared vision, and I want to change the attitude here. Cities that win do so collaboratively.” What happened to Dashing Pacific? Currently, most of the property is

owned by Dashing Pacific, a development firm owned by Chinese investors that purchased the property while candidate Michael Bell was serving his only four-year term as mayor. Dashing Pacific has done nothing with the property since, even though a groundbreaking was held during Bell’s term, meaning the property could revert back to the City of Toledo after five years. However, another candidate, incumbent mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson, says the city doesn’t have the funds to purchase the property back. At the debate, Bell says the property still “creates energy” and he believes there is an opportunity for ProMedica, which is moving its headquarters to downtown Toledo, to move medical facilities there, consolidating even more of the corporation’s resources. Even though vertical development has not come to fruition at the Marina District, Bell says it did result in 80 jobs, partly because of remediation efforts, that bring in an estimated $100,000 per year in tax revenue. Bell says the dream for developing the property and revitalizing adjoining neighborhoods is still in place. “What I want you to do is imagine what we could do first — what could be over here,” Bell said. “Imagine that flows over to The Docks (restaurant complex) and down Main Street and the neighborhoods.

Rumors of church closing unfounded By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“Lighthouse” launching in Faith United Methodist Lighthouse – a new “church within a church” that is family-friendly will launch in the gym at Faith United Methodist Church in Oregon Sunday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. The church is located at 3415 Starr Ave. “It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from, or your past,” said Rev. Bob Baugher in a press release announcing the launch. “We realize there is no such thing as a perfect person, or a perfect church – a modern church for modern people.

A lease agreement between the BPHusky Refinery in Oregon and New Harvest Christian Church will enable the church to become more community oriented, says the Rev. Sharon McQueary, interim senior pastor at the church, but the agreement has also spawned unfounded rumors the church is closing. The refinery and church council recently signed a four-year agreement this month for BP to lease a wing of the building for office space. Located at 3540 Seaman Road, the church building, which covers about 33,000 square feet, had become a financial burden for the congregation that has seen its numbers drop to 80-100 members over the years. “Over time, like any other church that is out there, the church has struggled with the burden of the building, whether it’s financial, whether it’s care or maintenance, 33,000 square feet is massive,” Rev. McQueary said. “So the church decided to think outside the box and welcome in a tenant.” But when a ‘for lease’ sign went up so did the rumors. BP is leasing about 16,000 square feet – almost half of the building. “We want people to know we are not closed,” Rev. McQueary said. “People have asked if we’re selling the building and I say no, we’re just being creative in how we move forward. The revenue will enable us to maintain the building and, the bigger thing, to engage in ministry in the community and give us the ability to open up our building to non-profit organizations. We’re looking for community partners like Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts that need places to meet. ” The church is already in talks with an organization to offer martial arts classes and a member of the congregation is holding fitness classes for seniors. Organizations interested in partnering with the church should call 419-693-6543.

“When we say modern, we mean that we believe that science and religion complement each other, the equality of all people and genders, there are many family types (single parents, grandparents raising children, etc.) and that we live in a fast paced and quickly changing world,” he said.

Woodmore forum

Candidates discuss their priorities By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“

Nobody asked the question, what is this money?

“

Eight candidates for seats on the Woodmore school board introduced themselves to the district Wednesday before a nearly-packed cafetorium at the PreK-8 Building in Woodville, offering their views on issues confronting the district. Eight of nine candidates, incumbents Corinna Bench, Julie Bowman, Daniel Hoppe and Steve Huss, and challengers Cara Brown, Sam Preston, Kelly O’Connor and James Kamman, were present. Another challenger, Sean Rizor, had been deployed as a Red Cross volunteer to South Carolina and was unable to attend. Candidates were allotted two minutes each to answer two pre-determined questions: • What do you see as the opportunities and challenges at Woodmore Local Schools and why? • What are your two overall district priorities that you will work to accomplish during your time in the office and how will you go about achieving them? Several of the candidates said the next school board will need to work to rebuild the trust of the community after accounts of improprieties in the district’s finances and other problems became public earlier this year. Bench said the board needs to address a “lack of transparency” and the “big white elephant in the room is a lack of trust.” Hoppe said he would push for “greater involvement from the community” and strategic planning to address financial problems and other issues. In turn, trust will be restored as the public sees improvement, he said. He said the board will need more feedback from the public. Bowman said the district has an abundance of ‘very supportive individuals” in the Elmore and Woodville portions of the district but the board must address a challenge of a lack of unity. In response to a question from someone in the audience, several of the candi-

dates said they didn’t support the Common Core State Standards Initiative. Preston said there was “too much crap” in Common Core and it allowed for “too much information on our kids” being stored in governmental data banks. Board president Huss, Kamman and O’Connor also were critical of the standards. Brown said a priority for her, if elected, would be to analyze the district’s finances. Her own research showed there were dormant funds totaling about $180,000, she said. “Nobody asked the question, what is this money?” she said. She also said the next board should find out why the district’s enrollment has been declining. Huss said maintaining the district’s funding and focusing on academics would also be his top priorities. “Academics is the number one thing that goes on here,” he said. Kamman drew a laugh from the crowd when asked about the role of the board. He said the board should clearly define the administration’s responsibilities but not get involved in day-to-day operations. He said he was “not interested in hearing about someone’s daughter not making the cheerleading team.” O’Connor said the board has an “opportunity to do better” in communicating with the district as well as between board and staff. Directors of the Ottawa County Improvement Corp. and Sandusky County Economic Development Corp. facilitated

Can next mayor be one to develop Marina District? Continued from front page so scared to step up and do something different but we keep getting the same results. East Toledo is an old house right now, but it’s got great bones and we can make this a great place again.” Hicks-Hudson also likes the idea of encouraging ProMedica to further develop its medical campus there, but she wants to see something “holistic.” Former three-term mayor and candidate Carty Finkbeiner says we should go one step further and invite Mercy Health Care to the table to see if a competition can be started between the two companies. Finkbeiner was mayor in 1994 when the Marina District concept was proposed and since over $20 million of taxpayers’ money has been spent to clean the property for eventual residential or commercial use. Finkbeiner still believes in a mixed-use development plus he would like to see a world class hotel. For the sake of economic development, Finkbeiner believes the east side needs more projects like the Starboardside Condominiums, which were new homes built along Miami Street upriver from the Marina District. For revitalizing neighborhoods, he suggests new partnerships with east side corporations like BP-Husky and Toledo Refining. “I’ll work with you hand in glove. I’ll be here for you,” Finkbeiner promised. “I’m familiar with the people of East Toledo. East Toledoans are among the most sturdy and hardy and you just don’t give up. There are some good things going on, but we’ve got to get some partnerships from within the business community.” Perhaps the most out of the box idea comes from Opal Covey, who calls herself a Republican and wants to see an amusement park or water park at the Marina District. Covey, who is running for the fifth time and is a former east side resident and business owner, brought with her a flyer titled “Toledo is Sitting on a Gold Mine,” which explains her reasons for an amusement park. She believes it will bring “millions” to this city who will spend “millions.” “This is the missing piece that will cause our financial explosion. I will create ‘Paradise Amusement Park’…Now your gold mine is complete. It is key for the tourist trade. Without this amusement park, the gold mine cannot function. When the Paradise Amusement Park is installed, we will begin refining our gold mine. The hotels, restaurants and everything I mentioned will wake up from their sleep and be refined by the millions of tourists who they will serve. I say, ‘Look out revenue, here it comes.’ We now are sitting on a gold mine that’s been sitting here for a very long time,” her flyer states. Sandy Drabik-Collins, the widow of the

The Candidates Michael Bell Opal Covey Sandy Drabik-Collins Carty Finkbeiner late Mayor Collins, believes it may be time to get real about the Marina District and put away the “pipedreams.” “I think there were a lot of big dreams and renderings there that probably don’t make sense,” Drabik-Collins said. “One thing I noticed is that the view from the east side is beautiful. We need to expand International Park, remove the barriers, and make International Park a place that families want to go to. Parks are not expensive to get started and we already have a park there. Start small and add incremental shops, but we have to be realistic. It really is not going to attract millions of dollars until we get something started there.” Mike Ferner, who ran for mayor before, losing to Finkbeiner, was against allowing ProMedica to develop Promenade Park downtown, where they are bringing offices and about 700 jobs. He wanted to preserve the downtown view to the river, so he’s proposing to do that at the Marina District. “The land on the east side should come back into public domain and stay there because riverfront property is extremely valuable and something we all should enjoy,” Ferner said. “I would like to see parkland along a strip of the river to walk and that would stay there. It would be nice if the downtown riverfront was kept open, but it wasn’t.” Trash, crime and declining neighborhoods While crime increases, on the decline are Toledo’s infrastructure, neighborhoods, population, housing, and even the ability to feel safe when you walk down the sidewalk. These trends have continued for at least 40 years, and every time there is a public forum on those issues, public officials find that they have to defend why these trends are not reversing. Hicks-Hudson said since being mayor and attending east side public forums at the Family Center, she has learned about the leadership on this side of town. “I’ve learned about the resiliency of residents here,” Hicks-Hudson said. “I come as a partner to make a difference, make change and to work to empower you.” One neighborhood issue raised is the lack of recreation and keeping teenagers off the street, and Spang proposes a joint recreation district with Toledo Public Schools.

Mike Ferner Paula Hicks-Hudson Sandy Spang

She cited a similar district established in Sylvania. “We not only want them to stop committing crimes, but we want them to become contributors, too,” Spang said. “If it works for Sylvania, it will work for Toledo.” The first question regarding neighborhoods came from a resident at the forum — what to do when a renter moves and leaves trash in the yard for someone else to pick up. The first thing Drabik-Collins said when she heard the question was, “That sounds familiar, doesn’t it?” Drabik-Collins continued, “The city can’t take things like roads, streets, and trash pick-up for granted, and you cannot take anything for granted on the east side. We do need to make sure the east side can take for granted that any of these things are going to be taken care of.” Finkbeiner has heard this story before, too, saying, “Other than drinking water and roads, this is the most plaguing problem that I have been hearing about. Whatever it takes to get garbage picked up within a week — this is a budget priority. There is no excuse for garbage to be out for an extended time. I don’t know any side of the city that needs to be cleaned up more than East Toledo today.” Covey responded, “I do not like to see trash in the streets. I would suggest to all of you, ‘Watch out for your neighbor.’ We all need to take pride on the east side. It was pretty good when I lived here, but now it seems different, so let’s all be concerned citizens and let’s take it to heart that we need our place to be attractive.” Get our money back The “trash talk” led to questions about the city budget, and most candidates put the blame over shrinking revenue on state government. Hicks-Hudson says the city has lost $14 to 16 million from the state’s local government fund and says “we need to get those tax dollars back.” Ferner noted that $190 million of taxpayer money paid by Toledoans goes straight to the Pentagon, and regarding state funding cuts he said, “Several of us have talked about the money that we don’t get for the local government fund anymore, but if we did, we’d have the money to take care of

things like roads now. We’re going to have to do more than talk about it — we are going to have to organize with other mayors and councils around the country to get our dollars back. “One of the things I’ve thought about most is not being satisfied with the decline of another great city and that means getting our money back from Columbus and that means having a little backbone,” Ferner continued. “We are going to have to look at the City of Toledo and find a different way of thinking, and that would mean we could accomplish all kinds of possibilities.” During Bell’s term as mayor, voters approved a measure to move capital improvement funds to the general fund to help pay for safety forces such as fire and police. Several candidates said they would never allow that to happen on their watch, and Finkbeiner even said if he had done that, there would never have been a deficit during his final term in office. Bell says it’s time to bring some of that money back, which Drabik-Collins said her husband had already started doing during his term in office. Bell said that when he was in office city-wide unemployment was 14½ percent, but now it is closer to five percent, although one candidate says it is still over 20 percent in East Toledo. Either way, Bell says an improving economy should start making a difference in tax revenues. “Is time to move it back? Certainly,” said Bell. “If we want to fix our house called ‘Toledo,’ we need to raise up Toledo.” Bell added that he would also propose increasing a three quarter percent income tax, which is due to expire, to one percent, which would provide enough funds to get roads back to good condition. He says the 25 percent tax increase would cost the average family $108 a year, but says the cost of fixing a broken automobile axle can cost about $1,200. Spang says, if elected, she will immediately begin working on a priority-based budget, which means starting from scratch and prioritizing each item. She calls it “looking at the budget with fresh eyes.” Covey, a chaplain who consults with jail inmates, says God told her in a vision to run for mayor. She blames Toledo’s Democrats for the past 40 years of decline. “I would like to bring out why we are in the shape we are in,” Covey said. “We need a change of power in this city. You have never had a real opportunity to hear anything of substance. You don’t know what you are missing. The Democratic Party has failed the citizens. Be you should be listening to who has the vision. Where is all of our money going? Why don’t we have the money to pay our bills? I’m used to getting prosperity. I’m used to getting what I need because the Lord is going to make that happen.”

Candidates want to attract new business future business developments.

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

and 14 years on the board of education give me a great sense of what the citizens want and the direction the city needs to go. Also, since I’m retired, I have the time needed to effectively deal with issues on a daily basis at the city. I intend to take pressure off the administration, freeing their time to do what they do best, which is managing the city. Edward Schimmel: I believe that having my business on Woodville Road for the past 10 years has given me a particular insight to the Northwood business community. That experience would help me address some of the concerns that have prompted businesses to leave. For the past two years, I have chaired the economic development committee, and we have begun the process of addressing some of those concerns. I feel that I could keep that process moving forward. What is the most important issue facing Northwood? Randy Kozina: The most important issue we face is maintaining what we have, while working to expand in the future. I will work and meet with every possible business in the city to attempt to secure their long term commitment. This is very important to not only the business, but also residents, as it maintains our lower income tax. The residents are always priority one, but we also need to focus on economic development. Edward Schimmel: The revitalization of Woodville Road. The city is doing quite well in our industrial areas near I-75, but the area surrounding I-280 is what people think of when they think of Northwood. The Woodville Road corridor desperately needs a facelift and more storefronts. Until that happens, people will keep thinking of the Woodville Mall site when they think of Northwood. What can the city do to prevent the Great Eastern Shopping Plaza from following in the footsteps of the Woodville Mall? Randy Kozina: The city is currently working on the revitalization district that will incorporate the Great Eastern property. It is in the process of being purchased by a new owner, which is the same agency that purchased the completely remodeled Arby’s last year. We have high hopes for this venture, mainly because they purchased the property without any guarantees of incentives. This is a serious venture and they’re very experienced in revitalization. Edward Schimmel: To prevent another Woodville Mall scenario at Great Eastern will take cooperation between city officials and the owners of Great Eastern. The economic development office has been working diligently at proposing incentive programs to city council, and many of those programs have either been passed already or are in the process of being implemented. The administration needs to keep a closer eye on Great Eastern than was kept on the Woodville Mall.

The Press asked Northwood City Council candidates a series of questions to help the public decide who to vote for in the Nov. 3 election. Here is what they had to say:

Dean Edwards (incumbent): We need to use more resources and become dedicated to make economic development happen. Bringing in Glenn Grisdale (economic consultant) has helped. We completely overhauled our Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) and we are using all grants that we can use. We could create a revitalization district to focus on a smaller area to start. Patrick Huntermark (challenger): Tax incentives would help draw business into Northwood. Encourage businesses to participate in the development of the community while it is the community’s best interest to act in a frugal manner with community funds and resources. The community can’t afford to act passively while commercial properties sit vacant. Daniel Mikolajczyk (challenger): Look into the idea of having on staff, a full-time economic development/grant writer. The city should be more business friendly and less restrictive to current and potential businesses (color of building, what type of signage, etc.) Provide incentives to current and future businesses such as grants, leasing of or purchase of city owned property and or provide city services such as grading lots, rebuilding or cleaning of catch basins, cutting grass, etc. What is the most important issue facing Northwood: James D. Barton: Improvement of our self-image using the following strategies: • Brownfield effort returning the

What type of development would you like to see at the former Woodville Mall site, and how involved should the city be in attracting development there? 11

Randy Kozina: The first step in development involves the difficult and expensive task of remediating the asbestos and removing the remaining buildings and parking surfaces. Once completed, the Woodville Road frontage would once again become valuable commercial space. As for city involvement, we’ve had no choice but to intervene. However, should the city have to take control, I would not be a proponent of long term ownership. Edward Schimmel: I would like to see a mixed use of retail, office, and apartments or condos. The design at Levis Commons is the perfect template and it has been repeated with great success throughout the country. Northwood needs more residents to support redevelopment of both the Woodville Mall and the Great Eastern sites. The city should be involved in completing clean up of the mall property and putting incentives in place to attract new owners.

“

Offer one idea that would help spur economic development in Northwood: James D. Barton (incumbent): There are two types of economic development – commercial/industrial development and attracting residents to live in Northwood – both of which are critical to future development. Development of the Great Eastern Shopping Plaza as a focal/ gathering place is one way to spur economic development. Retail businesses that provide services to people who live and work in Northwood will promote development up and down Woodville Road. Future ideas include festivals and a Farmer’s Market to bring people in and a variety of restaurants will add to the sense of community.

James Barton: The first thing we need is an engaged owner of the property. The second thing that Northwood needs to do is to be proactive in assisting commercial property owners to develop and stay engaged in their properties. In addition, we have learned from our past experience that it is important to have municipal maintenance codes which assure that owners are engaged and accountable for maintenance of their property, including facades and storefronts that are renovated and welcoming to customers.

But, we also need the quality of life businesses, too.

Continued from front page

What can the city do to prevent the Great Eastern Shopping Plaza from following in the footsteps of the Woodville Mall?

Woodville Mall property to community use. • Economic development initiative resulting in business relocating to our community. • Focus on promoting the community for families to live. • Updating our sign codes to help promote viability of our business corridor. • Use of social media to promote Northwood; updating our website to be more user friendly. • Saying “yes” to projects to show that we are business friendly. • Working with an economic development specialist to guide our activities. Dean Edwards: Economic development on the east end of town, along Woodville Road. We should use all the tools that we have and keep city officials focused on this goal. Current council approved legislation to provide up to 15 additional d-5 liquor licenses. We also went back and looked at the current Central Business District and realized we were too strict for this area. This is currently being addressed. Patrick Huntermark: The city needs to take initiative with regard to empty commercial spaces to attract new ownership. Woodville Road is becoming a ghost town. The trends need to change to benefit the community. The economy has recovered, it’s time to be aggressive. Daniel Mikolajczyk: The most important issue to me is lack of retail. I know that retail businesses do not bring in the same amount of tax base as do industrial businesses. But, we also need quality of life businesses, too. Such as restaurants, entertainment venues, housing, grocery and pharmacy stores. We need to look at the feasibility of having a full-time economic development/grant writer to work with the administrator to be on top of available grants and incentives for current and

Dean Edwards: We are close to having a new owner for Great Eastern. We will continue to be in close contact with the new owners. Open line of communication is the key. This is also in the CRA district. Patrick Huntermark: We took a turn in the right direction with the revitalization project already underway. I also think we need an active plan to meet with businesses to spur economic development. Daniel Mikolajczyk: The city should contact the owners on a regular basis to find out what the owners long term plans are for the plaza and request from the owners just what the city could assist with, such as tax incentives, help securing grants and loans. The long term plan of the owners may be completely out of our control. The city should conduct more frequent inspections as to the condition of the structures so the buildings don’t get to the point of being condemned. What type of development would you like to see at the former Woodville Mall site on Woodville Road, and how involved should the city be in attracting development there? James Barton: A Planned Unit Development organizing businesses with residences for families. To do that, we need more “roof tops” in the community. This includes expansion of residential neighborhoods that surround the mall property. This would include a development that brings more single family homes, condos/villas and apartments along with commercial development. With this residential activity, a sports complex would enhance the lives of our residents and others. The city should facilitate meetings with the buyers, providing good information so a positive decision can be made. I do not Continued on page 7

Dean Edwards: A large store like Ikea or something similar – a large chain that will bring more traffic to Woodville Road. The city will be heavily involved. We have tax breaks and other options to help attract the right buyers. Patrick Hundermark: The community would benefit from attracting unique, exclusive, established business entities to overtake the former mall site. I feel Cabela’s put Dundee on the map. Northwood needs business entities to attract money into the area. It’s local government’s responsibility to make sure companies like Cabela’s understand we, as a community, are willing to do what it takes to establish success in a mutually beneficial fashion. Ikea? Daniel Mikolajczyk: I would like the city to take control of the mall property, and after remediation, use the property as an incentive to attract businesses. The city may sell or lease, or lease with intent to purchase or give some land with certain guarantees in place for retail/ entertainment and residential development. After the site is cleared of asbestos, I believe the city will realize a new interest in the property and it should be included in the new revitalization district. • Council candidate Richard Radocy did not answer questions for this article.

approach the grave with a full-throated singing of our dreams and ideals? One way is to keep doing the best that we can, knowing we are finite creatures who often stumble. But, at least if we know that we have run the race with determination, never giving up, we will know we have done our best. We should also realize that this isn’t an individual race, but a relay race, where we have taken the baton from others and will soon pass it on. And finally, to complete the analogy, the coach of our team is God, and ultimately God’s team will win. We are all cosmic winners if we are on the side of goodness. “When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way.” Psalm 142:3

Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

The shining dreams and ideals of youth often become tarnished and faded in mid-life. We expected great things from life but are disappointed to see our dreams unfulfilled and time running out. Thoreau famously remarked that “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” Living with this desperation takes a heavy toll which few can bear. Most of us either relinquish the dreams or lower our expectations. Some of us continue to believe that the brass ring might still be grasped. But no one can live with the thought that they have somehow failed at life, or failed to live up to their own ideals. So how should we face this? How do we live in such a way that we can

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

Do you enjoy the increase in pumpkin ƀavored items available now?

Are you in favor of more gun control to prevent mass shootings at schools? No. Criminals will always ſnd ways to obtain guns whether or not there is gun control. Yes. Making it more difſcult to obtain guns will save lives. Marianne Burkett Toledo “No I think it’s a little over blown but those pumpkin cookies at Kroger with chocolate chips in them are fantastic. I also like the Dogſsh Head Pumpkin Ale but that doesn’t taste like pumpkin at all.”

Dale Lightner Toledo “It’s good. I love it. The pumpkin shakes from Arby’s are my favorite.”

Outraged To the editor: During the month of October, you cannot help but notice a wave of pink all around and an outpouring of support for breast cancer awareness. You might find it odd someone could feel angry about this cause, especially a breast cancer survivor. I would like to present my perspective and the perspective of many other breast cancer victims, especially those with metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer. While the cause, led by the Susan G. Komen foundation, has been aggressively fighting for the cure since the mid-`80s, the mortality rate of breast cancer has held firm at around 40,000 annual U.S. deaths. With awareness, education and mammogram campaigns everywhere you look, the mortality rate hasn’t changed. Why? Here are some facts that you just don’t see as part of the pink propaganda: • There is no cure for breast cancer; • Early detection does not equal a cure; • Having breasts removed, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone treatment comes with no guarantee; • Even when found in early stages and treated, 28 percent of all breast cancers progress to metastatic breast cancer; • Metastatic breast cancer has a 98 percent mortality rate; •Using five-year survival rates is misleading because metastatic breast cancer can develop 10, 20 and 30 years or more after initial diagnosis. • We do not know how to prevent breast cancer; • Mammograms find, not prevent breast cancer; • Awareness does not provide prevention or a cure. This very real side of breast cancer is mostly ignored during October in favor of positive survivor stories. You do not see the stories of the 155,000 patients living with metastatic breast cancer who are in constant treatment or the 40,000 patients who lost their lives. The party atmosphere often surrounding pink ribbon promotions and races conceals the harsh, devastating effects of this disease. We are not celebrating a holiday. Many women afflicted by breast cancer are troubled with how the pink marketing culture has distracted us from the goal of a cure. As a metastatic present cancer patient who has been in constant treatment since 2008, I feel the same way. Careers are made out of breast cancer awareness and so much money is raised and paid. However, only between 20-30 percent actually goes to research and less than 5 percent goes to metastatic research. Does something seem very wrong here? Think about this the next time you buy something with a pink ribbon on it or give to some of the big powerhouse organizations. Consider giving to organizations like the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Metavivor or Stand up to Cancer. This is how a real difference will be made. I hope this perspective from a breast cancer patient makes sense to you. I cannot possibly think of putting on a pink tutu and racing in an event that states it is for the cure, when only 26 percent of money raised is going toward research. I cannot celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month when every year we continue to lose 40,000 beautiful lives. There should be outrage that so many are getting rich and so much money is misdirected while the public has on a pink blindfold. Please consider wisely how you support this cause. Jennifer Bockey Walbridge

Dan Aiken Toledo “I think it’s a little overdone and the taste of sweet potato pie is better than pumpkin pie anyway.”

Kevin Smith Toledo “I’m not a pumpkin person. I’ve tried a few before but they’re just not that good. I think they’ve came out with too many and they need to stop.”

Bruce Alger Northwood “Personally I don’t like pumpkin but I think it’s nice because I think it’s something the kids really enjoy.”

Preserve band tradition To the editor: I am a proud Oregon parent and president of the Clay Band Parent Association. I have two children currently in Oregon City Schools and one child who is a recent graduate. All three have participated in the marching band. As president of the Band Association, I know first-hand how much hard work, time and money go into making our band strong. If you haven’t seen them, you should. Our band has received standing ovations from the opposing school’s audience for halftime performances. The money we raise is used for uniforms, band trips that are not covered by the school, and to supplement the needs of the band at all levels by purchasing instruments, music, uniforms, scholarships and transportation, refreshments and many other things not covered by the school band budget. Our band and fundraising provide kids with opportunities that they might otherwise never get – two trips during high school, opportunities to perform at community events like the annual Oregon Memorial service and recently at a naturalization ceremony. Band also teaches our kids the importance of leadership and teamwork, skills that help make our students and our community strong. We know that our community is proud of our band and we will continue to work hard so that the marching band can continue to provide top notch performances including football games, parades and any time we represent our school district. The Clay Band is a tradition that is a huge part of our community, as evidenced by the huge turnout at our bi-annual alumni band event. Please help preserve our traditions for years to come in the Oregon Schools by voting yes on the levy Nov. 3. Sally Finger Oregon

Evaluate carefully To the editor: I have attended Genoa Parent Teacher Organization meetings, school board meetings as well as levy committee meetings. I was a levy supporter who felt the board did the best it could to stretch every dollar. Are there areas for improvement? Sure, communication is something I haven’t heard from many. Whether they agree or not, this is our perception and if it isn’t correct, then it’s their job to understand how we came to it and how they can help fix it. Maybe they need to communicate more and be a little more transparent? I have communicated with a couple board members over the last year. On one occasion, the response I have received was unprofessional. I have previously interacted with all four candidates. All are very personable. However, I have overheard some complain and put down groups of people or individuals for not doing things to their liking and/or for going against the grain. Personally, I want someone that is willing to challenge things on the board, not someone that votes with what their friend(s) want. Someone that doesn’t just go with the flow, but will play devil’s advocate and look out for the best interest for our schools, kids and their education. This is not the board of friends/sports but the board of education. So, if you are hearing candidates slandering others, I encourage you to consider

if this is who we want on our board. I want someone on top of the policies and procedures so we don’t end up like Woodmore, paying $29,000 in a lawsuit settlement. In conclusion, I ask you to evaluate each candidate individually. Julie Sprague Genoa

Tech skills valuable To the editor: If the school levy fails our district will not be able to support career tech programs and will be forced to outsource to Penta. Our district is one of the very few that offers both college preparatory and career tech options to students. I personally know the value of having career tech programs at the high school. I was on a typical college preparatory track but was able to take marketing education, and learn valuable business and career skills while also gaining valuable work experience during the school day. As a senior, I obtained a paid internship locally and by the end of the year had an internship in my intended field at a Fortune 500 company. I was able to build an impressive resume before I had even graduated high school. Often we think of career technology programs only benefiting students who are not on a typical “college” path, but that is not true. Students in our district are currently able to pursue a blended path where they can learn critical skills while still pursuing general coursework. About 50 percent of students currently benefit in some way from these programs. If the levy fails and we are forced to outsource to Penta we will not win as taxpayers. There will be a mandatory 3.2 mill assessed to us by the state to move these programs. I would prefer to keep that money in my community and keep these valuable programs. The resources provided by the Oregon school system allowed me to attend a fouryear university on an academic and athletic scholarship, graduate with honors and obtain a job upon graduation. I am proud of my community and proud to be a product of Oregon Schools and raise my children here. Vote yes on Nov 3. Jennifer Herrera-Hess Oregon

Waste of money To the editor: The Village of Walbridge is considering buying the church facility at 705 Main St. to expand the village’s office facilities and provide the police department with space for a new jail cell and interview room. Renovating space to meet current construction standards for a holding cell, booking room and support areas will be very expensive. The cost is not justified by the Walbridge Police Department’s average of 10 to 12 total arrests per month, of which only two per month are felony arrests (Source: 20114 Walbridge Police yearend report). Walbridge Police issued 187 total traffic citations in 2014, which is less than 50 percent of the 378 citations issued in 2012. At the end of 2014, the Walbridge Police Department had six full-time, six parttime and five auxiliary personnel. Rather than increasing the amount the village already spends on the police department, the Mayor should reduce the size and cost of the department.

Meanwhile, village officials continue to cut corners in providing other village services, including the failure to hire an experienced, full-time village administrator. Last year, village officials took funds for the village administrator and directed them to the Police Department’s budget. Recent road and infrastructure projects for the village had significant problems. The Village is in litigation against its contractor and engineering firm regarding one of the projects. Having an experienced full-time village administrator would help Walbridge obtain better results on these projects, particularly if the village unwisely decides to spend a large amount of taxpayer funds to renovate a church into new municipal offices and police facilities. Cecil Adkins Walbridge

Where the problem lies To the editor: I am a retired resident of Oregon and I am volunteering to pass the Nov. 3 Oregon school levy. I have no children or grandchildren but believe that good or excellent schools are the heart of a stable community. I am originally from the East Coast but have lived in Oregon for 30 years. I believe this is a great community with a very good school system. I have tutored in the schools and given college scholarships. The students that graduated from our schools are excellent students but more importantly, they are excellent citizens. Our school system does more than teach math, English, science, etc. They teach extra activities that allow students to succeed in life. If you are upset about the extra cost a levy brings, maybe you should speak to Columbus – that’s where the real problem lies, not with school administrators. I am sure the schools would much prefer to teach, not raise money. Our legislators need to get off their butts and fund our schools. I would think that should come first in the budget. People who move into Ohio want to know what schools are like. If we want a better economy, maybe we should try funding our schools out of Columbus, not Oregon. Please, Please support our children and vote yes for schools. We will pay one way or the other. John Eisenhart Oregon

Toledo Mayoral race

Low turnout, seven candidates could lead to a surprise Mike Ferner, a thoughtful and deliberate man, had the unfortunate role of following firebrand Opal Covey at the Toledo Mayoral debate held Wednesday at the East Toledo Family Center. He didn’t stand a chance. More than once, Covey proclaimed she was God’s choice. She exhorted the crowd to vote for her because she was the only one with a plan. She blasted the Democratic Party for leading the city into decline over the last 40 years and went on a rant about how others conspired against her to steal the last mayoral election and shut down her East Toledo business. She has no chance of winning. Neither does Ferner. Well, not much of one. He leans too far left. His idea to solve Toledo’s upcoming budget shortfall is to get back money the state once allocated to Toledo and keep some of the money we send to Washington for the military. No chance that will happen. To his credit, Ferner was instrumental in toughening tax abatement when he was on city council. He helped lessen the impact abatement had on school revenue. However, industry is more nimble today than a quarter century ago and competition from cities that have assets comparable to Toledo’s is more intense. Ferner and Covey are two of seven candidates vying for Toledo’s top job. They were invited to East Toledo by The East Toledo Club and One Voice. I moderated

Page Two

by John Szozda the two-hour forum and came away with the following impressions. I emphasize impressions, not conclusions, because I only had enough time to ask six of the 28 questions submitted by the audience. Candidates had two minutes to answer each question and, not surprisingly, they almost always took the full two minutes, as well as the three minutes each had for summation. The remaining five are qualified and electable. They are: Paula Hicks-Hudson, current mayor; Carty Finkbeiner and Mike Bell, former mayors; Sandy Spang, council member; and Sandy Drabik-Collins, widow of former Mayor D. Michael Collins who passed away in February. Those who have been in the top seat— Bell, Finkbeiner and Hicks-Hudson—think The Marina District, because of its riverfront location, is still one of the prime pieces of real estate in the city. They believe a major developer will see that too, eventually. Drabik-Collins has pledged to buy the land back from Dashing Pacific. She wants the city to develop some of it as park land. Spang wants more of a strategic plan break-

ing the district into smaller parcels and engaging more than one developer. The land, or some of it, would make a great park, but it would cost $3.8 million, or so, to buy back and a park would have to be maintained by a city that, by some estimates will, face a $16 million shortfall next year. That’s when the three-quarter percent money the city transferred from the capital improvement fund to the general fund expires. Bell has been criticized for selling the land too cheaply. However, instead of being a drain on an already-strapped city budget, the land brings in some $100,000 in property tax revenue each year, Bell said. Bell is not your typical politician. He was the only one to suggest a tax increase to pay for roads. He proposed adding a quarter percent to the three-quarter percent and earmarking it for road repair. He said that would equate to about $108 per household per year, less than a repair to an axle damaged by a pothole. The three-quarter percent income tax was reallocated by the voters in 2009 to balance the budget and prevent layoffs of safety forces during the Big Recession. Finkbeiner invoked well-known East Toledo names from the recent past—Don Monroe and Bob Burger, both of whom were successful in addressing two problems East Toledo has today—a lack of jobs and clean neighborhoods. Maybe, Carty wanted to remind the audience that in the mid-1990s his adminis-

tration, in four years, demolished 1,012 dilapidated houses and resurfaced 126 miles of roadway. And, working with Monroe, he developed The Docks. Sandy Spang brought a younger, fresher perspective to curing the challenges the city faces. She wants to explore a joint recreation district with Toledo Public Schools. She also proposed looking at the budget in a new way. “Priority budgeting,” she called it. Fund the most essential programs, sunset the least. The unions might have a say in both initiatives. Mayor Hicks-Hudson, in addressing large-item garbage pick-up, said the city was working with its waste management contractor to increase unlimited pick-up. Two days after the forum, she signed a tenyear contract to increase free bulk pick-up from once a quarter to once a month. You have to admire these seven men and women who have the courage to lead a city losing population and facing a deficit. But, choose wisely, for in this election a dark horse could emerge as Toledo’s new mayor. While the city has an estimated population of 281,000, only 49,880 citizens voted in 2013, the last mayoral election, according the Lucas County Board of Elections. If six of the seven split the vote somewhat equally, it’s conceivable a new mayor could be elected with less than 10,000 votes. Now, that’s sad.

Paralysis by analysis: Where are you expending your energy? You expend energy regardless of what you are doing. Every activity uses energy, from exercising to sleeping. Staying alive requires energy. You, however, decide what to use your energy for. The energy you expend can either be scattered or focused. A laser beam concentrates all of its energy on one very specific point. As a result, lasers can be used to cut virtually any material. Lasers accomplish a lot of work. On the other hand, the beam from a flashlight is scattered over a large area. As such, its energy is too diluted to accomplish anything. Similarly, your energy will result in accomplishments when it is concentrated on a specific task. Dispersed energy only makes you tired with nothing to show for it. Most people are unaware of exactly what they are devoting their energy to. They spend each day, getting through that day, without specific purpose or focus. To be able to better direct your energy, you must first be aware of where it’s going. Start by analyzing your typical day. Track all energy consuming activities including eating, sleeping, working, commuting, socializing, recreation, entertainment,

by Bryan Golden and reading. Add any other relevant categories. You want to determine how much energy you are spending on each activity. Now you can decide which areas of your life are not getting enough of your energy as well as those which are consuming too much. Your energy is best spent on activities which bring you closer to your goals. Energy is wasted on actions which accomplish nothing. There is a difference between activity and productivity. You are active when you are busy with no focus. Being productive involves directing your energy towards a specific goal. Each day, you have a finite amount of energy. Devoting it to activities which don’t get you anywhere is draining. Imagine your car being stuck on a patch of ice. Pressing the gas pedal wastes energy by spinning the

car’s wheels without making any progress. Do you know what’s important to you? What are the destinations you want to arrive at? Are your goals clear and detailed? The answers to these questions enable you to formulate a plan for expending your energy on those activities which will provide you with the most satisfaction. It’s surprising how many activities drain your time without any tangible results. Procrastination is one of the biggest energy wasters. More energy may be spent putting something off than is required to actually complete a task. Procrastination leads to paralysis by analysis. You waste energy going in circles, attempting to figure out what you should do, instead of taking the appropriate action. Multitasking wastes energy. It provides the illusion of enhanced productivity while causing the exact opposite. Your focus is diluted when you attempt accomplishing numerous tasks simultaneously. The amount of time required increases, while the quality of your output decreases. Other energy drainers are television, the internet, and social media. Although all of these can be valuable when used appropriately, getting distracted is much

RE-ELECT

more common. Consider them black holes of energy which are constantly trying to pull you in. Guard your energy. It’s essential to prioritize how your energy is spent. Decline to participate in discretionary activities which are not productive. Meaningless draining of your energy diminishes your accomplishments. Worrying is a total waste of energy which yields absolutely no benefits whatsoever. Take the energy used for worrying and devote it toward positive action. Develop and maintain a constant awareness of what you are devoting your energy to. Stop wasting energy on meaningless tasks. Channel your energy into productive pursuits. This strategy accelerates progress toward your goals. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden. com or your bookstore.

Tent City offers meals, clothes & more to needy Each year, hundreds of guests and volunteers flock to Tent City for hot meals, warm clothes, medical services, social services or a warm, dry place to sleep. Perhaps even more importantly, they gather to soak up the warmth and human connection that comes from a full weekend of community compassion and support. Tent City, set for Oct. 23-25 at the Civic Center Mall downtown, is hosted by 1Matters.org, a Toledo-based nonprofit sparked and supported by singer John Mellencamp, with a mission to leverage community compassion and deliver it to those on the streets and in the shelters, with the goal of helping people return to domestic autonomy. Last year, Tent City drew more than 1,000 guests and volunteers over the three-day weekend. This year’s event will kick off with a Parade of Compassion – a free, onemile showcase of community compassion on Friday night at 6 p.m. The parade will start at Promenade Park and end at Tent City downtown. Area service organizations, nonprofits, schools, churches, and other groups are invited to walk. A Mayor’s Forum is set for 8 p.m. Oct. 23. All seven Toledo mayoral candidates – Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson, former mayor Mike Bell, former mayor Carty Finkbeiner, Sandy Drabik Collins, Toledo City Councilwoman Sandy Spang, former Toledo City Councilman Mike Ferner and Opal Covey – are expected to attend. The forum will be moderated by Keith Burris of The Blade and Lee Conklin of 13abc. Project Connect, which focuses on connecting unhoused guests with warm clothing, haircuts, hygiene items, medical and dental services, social services, veterans services, vital documents like birth certificates/ IDs and more – will kick off Saturday morning at 9 a.m. There will be an expanded women’s services area at this year’s event. An expanded children’s area will offer activities for kids during this time. Live local music will run 7 p.m.-midnight Friday and Saturday, again hosted by Pat Lewandowski and Tom Kornacki. Dave Carpenter, Willie Rough, Tim Tiderman, Lorilee AshGreen, Hand Hewn, Mudfoot’s Blues Cavalcade, Angola Road, AJ Szozda and The Blue Hook, and more are scheduled to perform. Learn more about Tent City or to volunteer, visit 1matters.org/tentcity.

Derby promises to be a ghoulishly-good time The Elmore Historical Society has added some new and exciting things this year for the 11th annual Tombstone Derby to be held Saturday, Oct. 24 from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. at the village’s Depot Park. The day’s activities will begin with a pie-baking contest. Afterward, kids’ battery-operated car drag races will be held, with judging for the “Best of Show” and “Scariest Car.” Other highlights include a pet costume contest, and contests for best-decorated bicycle and best coffin-decorated bicycle in both the adult and kids’ divisions. Everyone is invited to join the “Halloween Parade of Fools” which will feature “Motorized Halloween Racers,” kids and adults in Halloween outfits, kids’ racers, pets and tractors. Every kid participating in the parade will receive a bag of treats. There will be games for the whole family including the Body Parts Toss and Cadaver Toss and the new Pumpkin Chunkin’ contest. Hauntingly delicious food will be served all day including hot dogs, burgers, macaroni and cheese, hobo stew, monster mash (grilled sausage, peppers, potatoes, onions and cabbage), ice cream, cider, apple crisp and fresh baked pies. Derby-goers are being cautioned to watch for anything or anybody out of the ordinary. Rumor has it that several unseemly characters are planning to break out of Crazy Bob’s Sanitarium, with the assistance of some very scary creatures from the Haunted Hydro. Word is they are planning to mix in with the crowd in hopes that no one will recognize them. The excitement will rev up at 5:30 p.m. when the annual motorized casket drag races hit the street. The Tombstone Derby,

Motorized caskets will compete in a “drag race” at the 11th annual Tombstone Derby Oct. 24 in Elmore. (Photo courtesy of the Elmore Historical Society) which features an actual race course with the motorized caskets and other Halloweenthemed racers, will follow. Any type of vehicle can be used as a power plant in the Motorized Halloween Race, including a go-kart, golf cart, four-wheeler, lawnmower, etc. Vehicles must be built strongly so as not to fall apart. The body can be built out of any materials to resemble a casket or, new this year, any in Halloween theme. Vehicles be allowed

to race at speeds not to exceed 25 mph and must have working brakes. A prize will be awarded for “Best of Show” in the Motorized Halloween Race competition. All vehicles must register to participate. This year there will be no entry fee and the winner of the Tombstone Derby will win a $100 prize plus a trophy. The race is run like a “Poker Run” with participants receiving a card with each lap completed.

Little Boo

Visitors get in the Halloween “spirit” at the zoo It has been said, when witches go riding and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, ‘tis near Halloween. The fun starts Oct. 22-23 with the first day of Little Boo at the Zoo. The event is the pre-school pirates’ and princesses’ chance to delight without the fright! Toddlers and pre-school aged children are invited to wear their Halloween costumes, trick-or-treat throughout the zoo and enjoy crafts, puppet shows, strolling magic and games sized just for them. A special feature this year is the free photo opportunity with everyone’s favorite princesses. Festivities run from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. both days. The Halloween spirit will be in full “force” for Pumpkin Path, sponsored by Meijer, on Saturday, Oct. 24 and Sunday, Oct. 25 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. both days. In addition to costumed trick-or-treating for all ages, there will be games, pumpkin

carving demonstrations, bounce houses and magic shows. Also being featured this year, is a free photo opportunity with the ever-popular Star Wars characters, compliments of the 501st Garrison from Ohio and Michigan. For zoo members, one-day admission tickets to Little Boo or Pumpkin Path are $7 for all children who wish to participate in the trick-or-treating. (Those not participating in trick-or-treating are covered under their membership and receive free admission.) Tickets for non-members are $14 for adults and children and $11 for seniors. To help support the zoo’s mission of inspiring conservation of the natural world, please bring re-usable containers to collect treats. As in years past, featured treats will be made with sustainably produced palm oil to aid in orangutan habitat preservation. Additionally, the Toledo Zoo is proud to

support the teal pumpkin initiative by offering alternative treats for children with food allergies. Jumping Pumpkins! Ever wonder what the Toledo Zoo does with all those pumpkins after Little Boo at the Zoo and Pumpkin Path trick-or-treating festivities are done? On Saturday, Oct. 31, it will be the zoo animal’s turn to have fun as they discover the orange fruits in their exhibits at an event called Jumping Pumpkins. Some of the animals will make a meal and others will make a mess but all of them will be using their natural instincts and displaying natural behaviors. Jumping Pumpkins, which runs from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., is free with zoo admission. See the full schedule of activities at toledozoo.org/jumpingpumpkins

Historical society to present “A Night at the Museum” The story of true motherly love and devotion – the mother who has been walking the foggy banks of Sugar Creek crooning to her baby for over 180 years – is just one of the paranormal stories visitors will hear “A Night at the Museum,” which will be presented by Oregon Jerusalem Historical Society and the Oregon Community Theatre. The event will be held Friday, Oct. 23 and Saturday Oct. 24 starting at 6 p.m. at the Historic Brandville School, 1133 Grasser St., Oregon.

Along the way, hear stories of documented historical events shared by characters (actors) from the past. Visitors will see characters from all over Ohio who have come to tell their stories – stories of when they had visitors from the next world, or for some, how they exist in our world, though they have “departed.” Timed reservations are required. Tickets are $10 for non-members, $8 for members and $5 for students and are available by calling Betty Metz at 419346-8979. Cash, checks and major credit cards accepted.

The restaurant, with several intimate rooms, two fireplaces and eclectic décor, has been a host to thousands of events and special family gatherings. “It’s important for me to uphold the values and traditions that my grandfather, Earl and my parents hold so dear,” Cory said. “Growing up and working in the restaurant my whole life has given me such an appreciation for Toledo and Oregon. I look forward to passing the tradition along to my daughter one day.” To celebrate the 70-year milestone, the restaurant is giving back 10 percent of the gross sales to five local charities during the celebration week. From Charities include East Toledo Family Center, March of Dimes of NW Ohio, Boys and Girls Club of NW Ohio, JDRF of NW Ohio and United Way of Greater Toledo www. UnitedWayToledo.org. “Toledo has been so kind to us over the years, it was only fitting that we do something to give back to the Toledo

Oregon family hopes to spread Popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message of love By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com For Gary and Liz Livecchi, of Oregon, being picked by the Catholic Diocese of Toledo to attend the World Meeting of Families was exciting. Being able to take their eight children with them to Philadelphia was a blessing. Being able to see Pope Francis was life-changing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we, as a family, feel re-energized,â&#x20AC;? Gary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I walked out of the meeting and the Papal Mass a different person. I believe we learned to understand what love is. It is a self sacrificing love that God gives to you and you need to give that same love to other people.â&#x20AC;? The World Meeting of Families is a week-long international event of prayer and celebration with participants from around the world. Held every three years, this was the eighth meeting and the first time it was held in the United States. The first meeting was held in Rome in 1994. Others have been in Rio de Janeiro, Manila, Valencia, Mexico City and Milan. The theme for the 2015 meeting, which was chosen by Pope Francis, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love Is Our Mission: the Family Fully Alive.â&#x20AC;? Fifteen scholarship families from Toledo attended the event and were able to see Pope Francis during his visit to Philadelphia in late September. Gary and Liz attended the event with their children Joe, Jacob, Katie, Vince, Nick, Marty, Stacey, and Sophia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very, very excited to be picked to go,â&#x20AC;? Gary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to be with the Holy Father and to make the pilgrimage as a family was incredible. We were able to be with a huge amount of great people from our diocese and the world.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were there to really understand our faith through family and marriage,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faith, family and marriage are important in daily life and for the community at large.â&#x20AC;? The first four days of the conference included several speakers who discussed families, marriage, and how God is intertwined, Gary explained. The family was also able to see some of the sights of Philadelphia as well, Liz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did see some of historic Philadelphia, Liz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Betsy Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house,

(Submitted photo) and George Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. We also had classic Philadelphia foods, like cheese steak, tomato pie, soft pretzels and hoagies.â&#x20AC;? The family was able to see the pope during his speech on Saturday and then, again, during the Papal Mass on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw the popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech and the Mass on a big jumbotron,â&#x20AC;? Gary explained â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were millions there on the parade route. We waited seven hours on the parade route to see the pope. We were 20 feet from him.â&#x20AC;? Gary said the weekend events were peaceful and without incident even though millions were in attendance.

Growing

Enjoy the beauty, bounty of fall garden By: J.K. DePeal Press Garden Writer It must be October because this morning the wild geese flew over in their characteristic V formation. They were traveling south honking and calling to each other as they flew. They will winter in the south only to return again in the spring to nest and raise their young. Sometimes we have a pair who will nest near the pond beyond the barn. We can watch them from a respectable distance but cannot use the pond until their young are safely raised and old enough to travel about with their parents. When the wild geese fly south, cold weather cannot be far behind. Roadside stands and the produce areas of our family stores are aglow with the rich colors and wonderful shapes of fall produce. Bright golden pumpkins; deep green acorn squash; rosy red, jewel yellow and jade green apples; striped and speckled squash; along with Indian corn, gourds and bittersweet make a festival of autumn glory. Jugs of fresh cider and lucent jellies add to the fall delight of our harvest bounty and all together they are a treat to the eyes and, most certainly, a banquet for our taste buds. The fall asters in gardens and flower beds are in full display now and give us some of the last hints of color in our yards before the heavy frosts, soon to come, end our gardening season for the year. Asters come in shades of pink, blue, white, lilac, rose and red. They resemble small daisies, some complete with tiny yellow centers. This fall flower does best in sunny to part-shade locations with average, moist soil. The New York and New England varieties do best in Ohio. Asters tend to over-grow but can be “kept under control” by pinching them back as they grow in the spring and summer. Pinch them to the height that you want them to be when they begin to start coming into bloom in August and full bloom in October. If they spread too wide, trim them back from the sides as well. The pinching will not only control the size and shape of the plant but will also greatly multiply the blooms in the fall. Do not pinch or trim the plant after mid-July as it will need its energy for bloom production. Asters are insect and disease resistant and hardy through the cold seasons. What a great fall beauty! Asters can be used to make a darling holiday decoration. For this creation you will need: • One (or more) small (pumpkin pie sized) pumpkins. • Acrylic paints. • Small glass container (Ball canning jars work well). • Fresh asters in one or multi-colors. Cut the top of the pumpkin in a circle to fit the diameter of the glass canning jar. Clean out the seeds and enough of the pulp from the pumpkin to allow the jar to fit down inside of the pumpkin. Paint the pumpkin with a jack-o’- lantern face or other as desired. Fill the jar with water and place a bouquet of asters into the jar. Set the pumpkin inside or out as a perky, fresh holiday decoration. Make several and place them on window sills, tables, decks, porches – anywhere you want an adorable Halloween accent. October garden tips: Drain hoses and bring them in for winter storage. •Harvest winter squash. •Shred raked leaves and add them to your compost pile or use as mulch around roses or perennials.

Comets look to put a dent in Lake’s high-flying season By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Lake’s football season has been one that will likely be remembered and celebrated a long time. Despite having to replace over a dozen seniors, the Flyers started the season 7-0 and are ranked No. 4 in the Associated Press Division V statewide poll. They have won in dominant fashion, outscoring their opponents 328-67 while pitching four shutouts. Last season, Genoa defeated Lake, 3414, effectively knocking the Flyers out of the playoffs while vaulting itself into the postseason. The year before that, the two teams engaged in a high scoring shootout that saw the Comets rally from a 14-point deficit to defeat Lake, 49-35. Genoa, which started 0-3 and turned that into 3-4 overall and 3-1 in the Northern Buckeye Conference, has improved, winning three of its last four, including 17-14 over Eastwood. Genoa place kicker Matt Bradfield connected on a 26-yard field goal with 3:17 remaining to account for the difference while Noah Edwards scored on a 14-yard run and 6-foot-2 freshman wide receiver Jake Plantz caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Zach Grodi. But the Comet’s defense was the key as it limited the Eagles to just 151 yards of total offense and prevented them from converting on any of their seven third downs. In a 34-25 win over Woodmore in Week 5, Bradfield carried the ball 30 times for 180 yards and two touchdowns as Genoa held off a fierce Wildcat rally. Grodi and Edwards also added touchdowns while Edwards threw for and caught a touchdown in the 35-6 victory over Elmwood in Week 4. Despite not playing well in a 35-7 loss to Rossford, Lake coach Mark Emans knows that Coach Paul Patterson’s Comets will have every reason to believe they can beat the Flyers. “I think that they were trying to find their identity offensively early in the season and I think they’ve found their groove and what their successful at doing,” Emans said. “Coach Patterson and his staff has done a good job of molding their talent to the offense and defense to what they want. Genoa is the defending league champion, and until someone knocks them off, they’ve still got that mantle. For us, it’s about trying to take that away from them, and they’re not going to give it to us. A lot of respect goes to their program, their coaches and their community. It’s going to be a good game,” Emans promised. Solid combination For Lake, it’s been a solid combination of a tough, stout defense holding opponents in check while the offense consistently puts up points. This year, the Flyers have allowed more than three points on just two occasions and have put up video-game like numbers, scoring at least 40 points in every contest. Senior running back Branden Short has led the way, averaging a whopping 9.9 yards per carry. One of the top running backs in Northwest Ohio, Short has already rushed 136 times for 1,341 yards and has scored 24 touchdowns. Quarterback Jacob Rettig has filled in

Jake has completed 41-of-66 passes for 830 yards and 11 touchdowns, plus scored four times on the ground. And wide receiver Adam Duncan provides a downfield threat, catching 20 passes for 381 yards, good for 19.1 yards per catch. For the season, Duncan has scored 96 points, catching nine touchdown passes, kicking one field goal and 39 extra points. The trio came up big in the team’s most exciting game of the year, a 49-46 victory over Rossford. Short had 27 carries for 161 yards and two touchdowns, Duncan caught seven passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns and also returned an interception 44 yards for a score and Rettig completed 12of-16 passes for 166 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. Coach Mark Emans, who has already accumulated a 23-4 record and one postseason berth during his short stint in Millbury, stands proud of the way Lake football is getting the job done. “I think our defense has been very good at getting people in second-and-long and third-and-long situations. Our big down is first down,” said Emans. “We really want to get the opposing offense a bad play or a negative play. We want to get them into second and long and third and long. Our defensive coordinator, Dave Rymers, has done a great job this year.” Emans credits leaders like Jim Urias, Nick DeLauter, Aaron Segeti and Drayton Williams for their play on defense, but notes that his entire defense is worthy of praise and have worked together well as a unit. “I could name all 11 because what has

happened is our kids have really bought into 11 guys doing their job. We’ve really played good team defense,” said Emans, an Eastwood graduate who went on to a successful NCAA Division I collegiate career at Bowling Green State University. “Doing your job and being successful, that has been the key for our players.” Emans is also quick to credit his offensive line, which replaced three starters, and the way Rettig runs the offense. “He’s had a superior season,” said Emans, who won a state title in 1993 while coaching at Wauseon. “We don’t throw the ball as much as we did in the last few years, but it’s not because Jake can’t. Jake is an outstanding quarterback that’s done everything he’s been asked to do. He’s led our team, made good decisions and run our offense. I’m really, really happy to have Jake.” What makes the Flyers’ success that much more impressive is they’ve done it putting inexperienced players on the field.

“They really want to be successful. Last year, they were down-the-line players or backup players or even JV players.

“

For unsung hero, 100th goal special

She's more worried about the success of the team...

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Cardinal Stritch senior midfielder Kama Hardy reached a personal milestone on Oct. 8 in the Cardinals’ 5-3 girls’ soccer loss to Central Catholic. She said she never made it a priority to finish her high school career with 100-plus goals, but it happened anyway. “I didn’t really set any goals,” said Hardy, who had 103 goals through Wednesday. “I just wanted to have fun and be a part of a team. This year a bunch of (players) are new and it’s fun because I didn’t know a lot of them and we’ve become very good friends. Everyone likes each other. It helps on the field that everyone wants the team to be successful. It’s not just one person.” The school record for career goals is 130, set by Mary Lynn Hadley from 2003-06. Hardy tallied three scores in last Saturday’s 7-0 win over Bowsher, then had an assist in Monday’s 1-1 tie with Whitmer. Stritch (8-3-2) won the Toledo Area Athletic Conference title this season and can finish as high as second in the NWOSSL. The Cardinals ended the regular season Thursday against Waite. Hardy, a co-captain who has scored

six goals in a game, did not earn All-Ohio honors last season despite scoring 32 goals with 10 assists. That drew the ire of Stritch coach Dan Roggelin, who said he has put Hardy on defense and even in goal in the past to keep Hardy from padding her stats against lesser opponents. “She should have been all-state last year, no question,” Roggelin said. “A lot of times I have to tell her to stop passing and go score some goals. She’s more worried about the success of the team than her own success. Kama’s strength is her ability to move the ball down the field and find the open player to distribute the ball, or to take the ball herself to the goal.” Hardy quickly learned that when you are a known goal-scorer, other teams tend to pay more attention to you. That’s fine with Hardy, who has a target on her back in every game. “When people are coming after me it gives me the opportunity to give it up, because other (teammates) can score, too,” she said. “Once (opponents) realize that, they leave me alone. I’m not always open, so you have to find the open girl. You have to find the best opportunity to score.” Hardy said her 100th goal in the Central Catholic game was made even more

special because it came at a crucial point in the contest. “It was really exciting, because at that point in the game we were tied 2-2 in the second half,” Hardy said. “My 100th goal was important, and I had to work for it. It put us ahead in the game.” Hardy had 14 goals and two assists as a freshman, and 37 goals and 12 assists as a sophomore. She now has 28 career assists and 67 steals. “Kama displays very good leadership skills,” Roggelin said. “She plays at the inside right midfield position and has played every position throughout the season. She is a player who loves a challenge.” Hardy has had to work hard to put up big numbers and help the Cardinals win conference titles. She admitted she sometimes feels like a pinball on the field with all the attention she gets from defenders, but she has never suffered a broken bone. “They come after me, and I’m not really strong,” Hardy said. “I fall down all the time. I hurt my ankle during basketball season and it swells up after every game. I just have to ice it and it goes down.” Hardy said she wants to play college soccer, but she has yet to pick a school. She also wants to become a grade-school teacher, just like her grandmother Janet. Hardy’s career at Stritch will come to an end soon, but she hopes to put that off for as long as possible. The Cardinals’ sectional opener is at home on Oct. 20 against Otsego. “We want to get as far as we can in the tournament, farther than last year when we got to play two games,” Hardy said. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work. We definitely have a lot of work to do, because (other teams) know who we are.”

Despite 7-0 start, Gibsonburg QB has plenty to prove By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg junior quarterback Ryan Clark is kind of making up for lost time. He didn’t go out for football as a freshman, choosing instead to focus on baseball, and then he sat behind four-year starting quarterback Matt Tille in 2014. “I wish,” Clark said, “I could go back and do it over.” Clark (6-0, 200) has perhaps played better than many people expected for the Golden Bears this season. Despite being 7-0 and 3-0 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, Gibsonburg is still not ranked in the state poll. Clark has completed 88 of 148 passes (59.5 percent) for 1,631 yards and 23 touchdowns, with five interceptions, and has rushed for 326 yards and six touchdowns on 82 carries. Clark was 14-of-19 passing for 205 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s 36-28 win over Montpelier. “It’s nice to see him grow and understand what you need as a coach,” Gibsonburg coach Steve Reser said. “Obviously he’s not perfect, but he’s on his his way to getting there. Ninety percent of the things he needs to get done are getting done, and that’s great to see from a quarterback and as a team. His growth over the past five weeks has been phenomenal.” Clark started lining up under center in the seventh grade, and he enjoyed playing the position right away. “I was the quarterback for seventh and eighth grade,” he said. “I just kind of liked being in charge, telling people what to do and where to go — and making plays.” He added that replacing Tille, who led Gibsonburg to a 9-1 record last season while throwing for 2,168 yards and 28 touchdowns and running for 1,087 yards and 12 scores, was somewhat intimidating. “It was definitely a big role to fill his shoes,” Clark said. “He started for four years

(Photo by Jeff Holcomb) and did a great job. He was a role model for me. I looked up to him at the quarterback position. Our first scrimmage (against Hopewell-Loudon) was intimidating, just the role of being the quarterback. You just have to slow down and think about things and just play the game.” Clark, who started at outside linebacker as a sophomore, said he knew the starting quarterback job wouldn’t be handed to him until after Tille graduated. “It wasn’t a given,” he said. “Coach said when we went through workouts I would have to earn my spot. Everyone had to earn their spot. I had a pretty good idea I was going to be taking the snaps under center this year, but I had to earn it.”

The Bears opened the season against Elmwood, and Clark said he felt “a lot of butterflies” before the game. Gibsonburg rolled to a 34-13 victory. “I struggled a little bit early in that game,” Clark said. “It was obvious. From my standpoint I did very well well in the second half. I was more comfortable and fell into the offense. I feel I’ve done my part this year, but there are always things I can improve on. We have a really good running back (Madison Jaso) and I feel like I’m ready to play every game. My offensive line is phenomenal, and my receiving corps is terrific.” Reser said Clark has come a long way since the Elmwood game.

“He was nervous about his reads from the pocket and reading the defense,” the coach recalled. “As the game went on, he settled in there. He’s definitely grown as a quarterback every week and gotten better at every aspect of his game, including his nerves.” Clark said no one should be surprised that Gibsonburg is 7-0 at this point. The Bears hosted Danbury (2-5) this week. “We worked really hard in the winter, especially after going 9-1,” Clark said. “We worked our butts off in the offseason. We have a lot of pieces and the coaches put them in the right spots. We have a high-powered offense that clicks, and we have a lot chemistry together.”

Hornyak sees to it

Clay soccer stands up to its billing By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay junior goalkeeper Olivia Hornyak wants to play soccer in college. Perhaps she should consider majoring in communications when she gets there, because she doesn’t mind doing a lot of talking around the net. “I feel I’m stronger this year and my defense has grown so much,” said Hornyak, last year’s Three Rivers Athletic Conference Keeper of the Year. “Teamwork is key. I’ve gotten some of the girls to start talking like I do and communicate all over the field.” Said first-year Clay coach Don Hess of Hornyak, who had 60 saves through Tuesday, “She definitely does a lot of talking back there, directing traffic. She’s always positive and definitely one of our leaders.” Hornyak had 76 saves and helped the Eagles post 10 shutouts a year ago, and she’s been just as consistent this season. Clay was 9-3-3 and 5-1 (second) in the TRAC heading into Wednesday’s home match against Central Catholic (9-3-1). Clay is ranked fifth in this week’s Northwest Ohio soccer coaches’ poll. Hornyak put her skills on display Oct. 7 against TRAC rival Notre Dame Academy, which knocked Clay out of the postseason last year. On this occasion, Hornyak stopped a penalty kick to help preserve Clay’s 1-0 win over Notre Dame. Hornyak said it was her favorite save of the season. “It was 1-0 with 12 minutes left in the half,” she said. “We had an unfortunate

(penalty) call and I had a chance to stop that PK. It was one of the best feelings ever. I didn’t catch the ball, but I hit it away. Everybody was celebrating and it was a pretty good feeling.” Clay has eight shutouts this season and has outscored opponents by a 34-13 margin. “A shutout means my team, defensively, played awesome and worked their butts off by keeping the ball from coming my way,” Hornyak said. “They’re focused, and it lets me know I’ve done my job and they’ve done theirs. I love knowing when the game is on the line I can make the big save and help my team out and be there to support them. It’s a nice feeling.” Hess said Hornyak seems to come up with a big save at nearly every opportunity. “That Notre Dame save speaks to what I said, making that big save at the right time, making one a lot of keepers just don’t make,” Hess said. “A lot of goals scored against her have been goals that (U.S. Olympic goalie) Hope Solo’s not gonna get them. You just can’t reach them. Knowing you have Olivia back there, she’s gonna keep us in games.” Hornyak, who also plays softball, has been a keeper since she was 6. She played on the Eagles’ junior varsity team as a freshman, splitting time in goal and as a forward/midfielder. “I didn’t think that was for me,” Hornyak said. “The net was better for me and it was more comfortable.” The problem was, Clay already had one of the top keepers in the area during Hornyak’s freshman year. Her name was

I learned so many things from her, like how to distribute the ball. She came up over the summer and was at a camp. She’s a great keeper. She’s so positive all the time, no matter what happens, and is always prepared for whatever’s coming her way. I have a great mentor in her.” Hornyak said her other soccer role models are Solo and U.S. men’s national team keeper Tim Howard. “They’re in control and they make the

saves they need to make,” Hornyak said. “They talk a lot and I feel like I relate to them. I like watching the pros, but I prefer to watch high school so I can scout other teams and say this is something I can work on. A lot of people think it’s an easy position, but I think it’s a difficult position.” Hornyak has honed her skills by playing for Metro Soccer locally and attending college soccer camps. She said she hopes college recruiters take notice of her talent, but she is more concerned with helping the Eagles make some noise this postseason. Clay hosts either Springfield or Madison Comprehensive in the sectional tourney next Wednesday.

Oak Harbor girls win eighth straight Sandusky Bay title By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Despite battling a number of injuries to key players, the Oak Harbor Rockets have won yet another Sandusky Bay Conference title. Oak Harbor has outscored its opponents 78-16 while accumulating a 13-1-2 record, including a 9-0-1 mark in the SBC, won 13 of its last 14 matches, the only blemish being a tie. It’s been another banner year for a program that has dominated the conference, winning eight straight championships, while also making noise in the postseason, something the Oak Harbor girls hope to do again. It’s a balanced scoring attack that features five different players with at least eight goals apiece, plus a good, stout defense that works together well as a unit that is making it happen this year. Midfielder Emma Barney leads the way with 34 points, scoring 13 goals with eight assists. Fellow midfielder Noelle Petersen has 29 points (12 goals, 5 assists), followed by Alexa Weis (10 G, 4 A), Paige Velliquette (9 G, 3 A), and Abbie Mizelle (8 G, 2 A). Injuries to Velliquette and Maddy Rathbun, both out for the season, as well as Tessa Tyburski and Miki Blunt, have hurt the Rockets, but they’ve been able to persevere and fill the void. Renee Williamson has coached the program since its inception in 2002 and has orchestrated the SBC dynasty, but she still deals with challenges. “Injuries have gotten us again. We have had our ups and downs this year but we have been able to continue winning,” Williamson said. “We have a very nice group of athletes that are able to play where we need them. We have pushed a few of them pretty hard during some games, but they have been positive and wouldn’t want it any other way. We have had a few games that were too close for our kids, but they held on and stepped up to the challenge when needed. “Everyone has stepped up, but as far as scoring is concerned, Abbie Mizelle has done a nice job. When it comes to playing any position when someone needs a break,

Oak Harbor starting sophomore defenseman Seree Patterson (14). (Press photo by Russ Lytle/ Facebook. com/ RussLytle/RHP) Abby Eoff has been there. Emily Winters has stepped into a starting role and Emma Barton has been shifted to a defensive role and the rest of the team collectively plays a big role on the field. Obviously, with no time outs and limited practice time, when a

position switch is required, we depend on the starting players to mentor these girls in a real game situation. They’ve done a great job being leaders on the field.” Leadership comes from Velliquette, Rathbun and Brittany Watkins, the team

captains. “Maddy is still a strong influence despite being on the sidelines,” Williamson said. “She has a great attitude and is always positive.” Williamson says this year’s group has chemistry, too, and her players couldn’t agree more. “We’re all friends this year,” said Barney, who played last season in the Toledo Futbol League. “We can all talk with each other, and I think it shows on and off the field.” Barney keyed a run to the Division III state semifinals two years ago as a freshman, but she’s back where she belongs, she says. “It’s nice to finally play with my friends and the people I go to school with in front of my community,” she said. “I’m glad I came back.” “I feel like we’re really working together to find the open spaces and we’re taking good shots. The atmosphere is a lot better and we’re working together.” The starting unit consists of Gillian Allen, the goalkeeper, Watkins, Blunt, Barton and Seree Petersen on defense, Weis, Barney, Tyburski and Petersen at midfield and Winters and Mizelle at forward, but Williamson says there is a rotation of other players who bring key elements. It’s taken that kind of depth to get over the injuries, she adds. “Basically, everybody knows their job and what they’re supposed to do. Emma does a great job of getting the ball ahead to us in space, and the defense is good,” said Weis. “We have good outside defenders who can get the ball up to our forwards and they finish the job. As long as everybody does their job, we’ll be good.” Besides the starters, key role players include Mackenzie Auger, McKenzie Huntebrinker, Chloe Daniel, Emily Lenke and Caitlin Sigurdson. “Our team is really deep. We have a lot of good players,” said Weis, a threesport star who competed at the state track meet last year in the 300 hurdles and the 4x100 relay team, which placed sixth. “It’s very upsetting to lose those players, but it’s good to know we have players who can step up and do the job. It’s provided opportunities for people to move up.”

The Press Box Johnson credits staying focused for trip to state Golf can be a frustrating game. Just ask Lake junior golfer Owen Johnson. “I played well at the beginning of the season,” he said. “When league play started, I didn’t play as well as I thought I should. I just hit a spurt where the ball wasn’t going where I wanted it to go, and I wasn’t putting very well. Toward the end of the year I played pretty well and got things on track, just in time for sectionals and districts.” Johnson earned first-team AllNorthern Buckeye Conference honors for the second straight season, then shot an 80 at the Division II sectional tournament at Detwiler to advance to last Thursday’s district tourney at Red Hawk Run in Findlay. He finished with a 4-over-par 76 at Red Hawk to earn one of the two individual qualifying spots to play in Friday and Saturday’s state tournament at North Star Golf Club in Sunbury. Johnson’s seasonbest 18-hole score was a 73 early in the season at Lakeland Golf Club in Fostoria. He finished the regular season with a 39-stroke average for nine holes. “What I think was key for him (at Red Hawk) was that he played the front nine at even par and on his 12h hole of the day he made his one bad swing and made a triple bogey,” Lake coach Dorian Boggs said. “He recovered from that well. He didn’t let it get to him, and that’s not easy for a high school kid to do.” Johnson, a three-year starter for the Flyers, knew the stakes were high, and he knew he couldn’t let one bad hole ruin his round. Boggs said it’s difficult to tell by Johnson’s demeanor if he’s shooting 10over or 10-under on the golf course. “I try to focus on not letting the bad holes affect me, or the good holes,” Johnson said. “If I were to make a birdie, I don’t get too happy about it. You have to stay level. I try to focus on not getting too negative or too high on myself at times.” Boggs said he was confident that Johnson had improved his game to the point where he could compete with the best prep golfers in Ohio this season. “I remember before the season started he was hitting the ball really well,” the coach said. “I’m still pretty good friends with the guy who was the coach here before me (Terry Tansel), and I commented to him on how well Owen was hitting the ball. Once you make it to the district tournament, the odds are against everybody because only two individuals get out. Owen had as good a chance as anybody to get out. He’s a good player.” Johnson said he can consistently drive the ball 280 yards off the tee, and his iron play has been the biggest improvement in his game this fall. He said he never set a personal timetable on how long it would take to advance to the state tournament. “I knew I had a chance going into the season,” Johnson said. “I played pretty well

last year, and this summer I got a lot better. The other facets of my game were starting to come together. Not perfect, but starting to blend together and I was putting in some pretty good rounds. It carried over into this season.” Johnson has never played a round at North Star Golf Club, but he was scheduled to play a practice round there on Thursday. “My goal is just to go out there and compete and play solid and get my confidence,” he said. “Obviously I would like to go out and win it, but I want to go out there and have fun. I want to play well and have fun and have a good experience.” (— by Press contributing writer Mark Griffin)

Alyssa Heintschel (Clay) has been named the Mid-American Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week. The sophomore goalkeeper from Oregon owns a 4.0 GPA majoring in chemistry. Heintschel allowed just one goal in two games over the weekend to help Ball State remain perfect in the MAC at 6-0. The sophomore recorded a shutout in Friday’s 3-0 win over Kent State and then surrendered only one goal in a 2-1 victory Sunday over Ohio. Heintschel made two crucial saves in the final 10 minutes of the Ohio game and batted away a dangerous corner kick late to preserve the win. She has started every game this season and owns a .77 goals against average.

Cyclist nearing 2,000 miles

9/11 Memorial somber and heart wrenching, but also inspiring Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on August 17 on a 9,000-mile bicycle ride around the perimeter of the United States in an effort to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children. You can follow his blog by going to presspublications.com and clicking on the icon on the upper right: Greetings All The storm hit without warning . . . standing at my picnic table at the Sea Pirate Campground south of Seaside Heights, NJ. Darkness had already descended, and I had no inkling of the storm clouds overhead the day had been warm and sunny - mid 80’s. The wind came up quickly, hinting at what was to follow - a drenching downpour that soaked all my food that was strewn about the table . . . and me. Tired, wet, discouraged, I dove for my tent and spent the night listening to the pelting rain. Clearing skies by morning, but accompanied by a drastic drop in temperature. Packing up wet was a chore, and a frigid one at that. Earlier last week after the non-event at the Today Show, I salvaged that day with a visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum - an experience not to be missed if you visit NYC. Somber, painful, inspiring, heart wrenching, enlightening are all words that fit. Close by to the Memorial and Museum, as if rising in defiance out of the ashes, the new World Trade Center towering over lower Manhattan at 1776 feet - of course, no coincidence, that number . . . 1776. The following day, a visit to the Natural History Museum courtesy of Becky Myers Koike, my former student who works there, and a walk through Central Park - so nice to just walk, and not ride. My accommodations in the City for these three days were at the International Youth Hostel - a historic structure and New York Landmark. It was

Fire truck of Ladder 3 which was buried in the debris of 9/11. built in 1883 as a home for the Association for the Relief of Respectable Aged Indigent Females which had been organized in the early 1800’s to help the widows of Revolutionary War and War of 1812 veterans. I found bicycling in New York to be quite easy with plentiful bike paths and bike lanes even on some of the major thoroughfares throughout the Bronx and Manhattan. Take note Toledo - if New York can do it, why can’t you? It’s getting out of the city by bicycle that can be a bit of a challenge which is why I made my way to the

East River Sea Streak Ferry for the fast trip south to Atlantic Highlands, NJ. Passing by Lady Liberty, Ellis Island just beyond, now under the towering Verrazano Narrows Bridge (which I ran over in the 1989 NY Marathon), and glancing back at the tall spires of Manhattan Island, the Hudson River and East River running astride of it New York is truly one of the great cities of the world. Many thanks to coastal New Jersey and Delaware for being so flat. I don’t know whose idea it was, but it was a fine one. These last few days I’ve been riding

along the barrier islands that protect these mid-Atlantic states. The weather has been fair and tail winds encouraging, gliding through tidal marshes and saltwater estuaries where all manner of wildlife abound . . . egrets and herons stand motionless, waiting for their next meal to swim by. In Seaside Heights which was so devastated by Hurricane Sandy, my old fraternity brother Larry Martin drove all the way from New Hope, PA, to take me out to dinner. Good to see Brother Gump, as he was known during fraternity days. Kudos go out to the Sea Pirate Campground - in spite of that drenching rain - and the Trade Winds Motel in Ocean City, NJ, both of whom did not charge me a penny for my stay when I explained the purpose of my ride. And in Cape May, NJ, Warm Showers hosts Carol and Marc welcomed me at a last minute’s notice. They are a cycling family, and Carol makes a mean bowl of chili! I sailed on the Cape May Ferry on another spectacular morning across the calm seas of Delaware Bay to Lewes, DE. One could not have asked for more perfect riding conditions this day, peddling under a cloudless sky, lengthening shadows cast by a fall sun, temps in the mid 70’s, fields now golden brown with the changing season, set off by a dark blue canopy above. It’s not often that I traverse a state in a single day, but I made short work of flat Delaware, crossing into Maryland and the Chesapeake region. Closing in on 2000 miles now, and latitude has become my friend. Losing degrees of latitude means gaining degrees of warmth which is uppermost in my mind as I try to outrace the fall season that is shadowing me southward. My front wheel is now pointing toward the nation’s Capital, and I am Proceeding On. Al Thompson

ASK YOUR TELLER HOW!

(Open M-Th. 9 to 5)

1.Do not place leaves in the street or curb and gutter area, ditches and drainage swales. Leaves in the street interfere with storm drainage, causing blockages and flooding. The correct place for leaf piles is in the lawn area, about 1-3 feet from the curb or road edge. Please note, due to local flood prevention and storm water quality regulations to improve Maumee Bay, placing leaves in a storm drain, curb and gutter, ditch, or drainage swale, is a direct violation of Oregon Municipal Code Sections 521.12 and 905.12 (See City website for specific code language at www.ci.oregon.oh.us).

2.Do not include animal waste, grass clippings or yard waste (sticks, branches, straw, pumpkins, etc.) with the leaves. Leaf collection machines are designed to pick up leaves only.Other items plug up these machines causing downtime and delays in your scheduled pick-up days. Also, grass clippings include mold that can stick to leaves in the machines. Leaf collection machines use an airborne process that will throw mold into the air, making an unhealthy environment for the crew and residents.

â&#x20AC;˘ Inside Auto Storage â&#x20AC;˘ Personal Storage

St. Rt. 51, South of Elmore 419-862-2127

3.Do not place the leaf piles near trees, mailboxes or signs. Obstructions like these cause crews to stop and hand rake, thus slowing the collection process. Please keep the leaf pile a minimum of three (3) feet from the said obstructions.
