Judge cleared in review of rifle Calling the matter a partisan attack to influence his upcoming bid for re-election, Ottawa County Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters Wednesday welcomed the results of a review of allegations he illegally took possession of a forfeited firearm. Jeffrey Lingo, a Lucas County assistant prosecutor, last week issued an opinion that state law hadn’t been broken and a special prosecutor isn’t necessary to further investigate the matter. The Lucas County prosecutor’s office was asked by Ottawa County prosecutor Mark Mulligan to review a complaint by Adrienne Hines, an attorney and chairperson of the Ottawa County Democratic Party, that Judge Winters had unlawfully taken possession of a semi-automatic LAR-15 rifle forfeited by a convicted man in 2007 to the court’s probation department. It was later turned over to the sheriff’s department and kept in an evidence locker. “It has been the court’s position that the weapon was legally possessed by Judge Winters,” the judge’s office said in a prepared statement. “The weapon was never used for recreational purposes after being

Although the weapon was stored in the Sheriff’s evidence room, it was never property of the Sheriff.

released to the judge. The Ottawa County sheriff as well as other interested individuals were fully aware of the location of the weapon at all times.” After assuming office in 2009, Winters sent a request to the sheriff’s office to have the rifle released to him for his protection at home. Lingo’s letter to Mulligan said there is “no evidence that Judge Winters ‘demanded’, ‘commandeered’, or otherwise inappropriately obtained the weapon.” The review found that the judge submitted a written request to the sheriff and the rifle was voluntarily turned over to the

judge for his use. A receipt and other documentation were lost but Sheriff Steven Levorchick confirmed the information, according to Lingo’s review. Levorchick was a deputy at the time Winters assumed possession of the rifle. The rifle has since been returned to the sheriff’s department. Lingo’s letter notes the section of state law pertaining to forfeited weapons says once a firearm is forfeited, “the law enforcement agency has title of the firearm and may keep it or give it to another law enforcement agency for police work, sell it (at auction or to a licensed gun dealer), or destroy it. There is no provision in the forfeiture section …for a law enforcement agency to give. sell, or lend the forfeited firearm to a Common Pleas Court Judge for business or personal use. “There is no provision that likewise prohibits the law enforcement agency from engaging in that conduct.” “The issue of liability as well as any ethical issues is best addressed by the agencies which review those questions,” the letter says.

On August 4, Louis Revesz was jogging westbound on Starr Extension at about 6:20 p.m. when he saw two bundles of cash on the edge of the road near the entrance to the Oregon recreation center. “I didn’t realize it was money at first,” Revesz recounted for The Press last week. He picked up the greenbacks and headed for home. Upon closer examination, he knew he had stumbled upon a hefty chunk of change. He counted the loot, which totaled $10,000. The money was in various denominations. “There were 20, 50 and 100 dollar bills. There were new $100 bills and I thought they were counterfeit. Then I thought, `No, those must be the new $100 dollar bills,”’ he said. He promptly handed the money over to the Oregon Police Department. The money was found in two separate rubber banded bundles, according to police. The bundles further contained eight bundles of $1,000 each and one bundle of $2,000. The money was dry when Revesz found it. A heavy rain ended at roughly 4 p.m., which would indicate it was lost sometime between 4 p.m. and 6:20 p.m., police surmise. “The police didn’t know what to think about it,” said Revesz. “I checked back a week later, and they said it might have been from an armored car. I haven’t heard anything since. I thought maybe they found the owner.” Oregon Police Chief Mike Navarre told The Press last Wednesday no one has claimed the money. He confirmed police thought it may have been linked to the robbery of a Garda armored truck at Chipotle’s, 3305 W. Central Avenue, at approximately 5 p.m. on Aug. 4, not long before Revesz found the money. “They have not been able to link the money to that theft,” said Navarre. “But those two things do not happen very often.

Oregon renews contract with Waste Management By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday agreed to renew its contract for collection of garbage and recyclables with Waste Management. The five year contract includes unlimited curbside solid waste, every other week recycling in a 64 gallon city provided cart, and bulk and co-mingled yard waste collection at a cost of $11.25 per month per household and an annual price increase of 2.5 percent in the second, third, fourth and fifth years of the contract, with monthly adjustments for the cost of fuel. The $11.25 per month cost is .20 more than the previous contract. The new contract starts Dec. 1 and ends Nov. 30, 2019. Public Service Director Paul Roman said Waste Management and Republic Services submitted bids for the service. “In reviewing the bids, Waste Management was clearly the lowest and best bid,” said Roman at a recent committee of the whole meeting. Even with the 2.5 percent increase, Waste Management’s bid was still lower than Republic’s. “Overall, it was a good bid, a very good contract,” said Roman. “I truly believe Oregon does like unlimited pickup, and every other week recycling has worked out. We played around with one year bid or three year bid. They want a five year contract. So it worked out every well. We did receive competitive bids. Councilman Jerry Peach said the community supports unlimited pickup. “I have to think my own experience with Waste Management is not dissimilar to most others in the community. I think they do an outstanding job and are very reliable and provide a great service. I am glad we had another bid to look at. But I’m very supportive of this contract,” said Peach. Council President Dennis Walendzak agreed. “I think Oregon is one of the few communities that has unlimited trash pickup. I think our citizens use that service quite well and are very happy with that. So it’s good we can continue the service for the community,” he said. Councilman Jim Seaman agreed that Waste Management has been very reliable. However, he said he has heard from some residents about the need for recycling every week instead of every other week. “Some people are saying they could fill up that recyclable by the week,” he said. Some residents, he added, said they put recyclables into their garbage container when their recycling container fills up. Mayor Mike Seferian said costs were much higher for weekly recycling service. “There may be people who are saying that. But you’re talking about a huge dollar amount to expand that,” said Seferian. “It’s a huge dollar amount. We don’t actually

have a Cadillac policy on garbage pickup. We have more of a Rolls Royce policy when you compare us with other cities.” In addition, Seferian said Roman understated the amount of time it took to review considerations for refuse pickup. “It’s incredible. There are so many factors involved. And we got a pretty suitable plan. Every time we work with Waste Management, it always works out,” said Seferian. Five years ago, the city looked at several alternatives, said Roman. “Every week was one of the alternatives. The difference between every week and every other week was $65,000 per year. So there definitely was a savings,” he said. Also at the meeting, council approved an agreement between the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon Police Division to participate in a countywide

taskforce to provide targeted enforcement activity. The sheriff’s office, acting as the lead agency, received a Lucas County OVI Task Force grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety for the period of Oct. 1, 2014 through Sept. 30, 2015. The police division will be reimbursed for direct costs based on actual activity completed. The purpose of the taskforce is to curtail intoxicated drivers, lower the number of traffic fatalities, and enforcing motor vehicle laws by conducting sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols. “Last year, we spent about $15,000 of this grant money,” said Police Chief Mike Navarre. “It doesn’t cost us anything. Our requirement is that we have to conduct two sobriety checkpoints some time in the fiscal year. We’ve been participating in this for a number of years. It’s a good thing.”

Pursuit ends in arrest An Oregon man was arrested Oct. 12 after fleeing from Lake Township police who were responding to an alarm at the Speedway Gas Station on Woodville Road. Mark R. Fredritz, 25, was charged with breaking and entering and failure to comply, both third degree felonies, and taken to the Wood County Justice Center. According to police, officers were dispatched to the gas station after the alarm sounded when a rock was thrown through a front window. The security company indicated the surveillance camera showed a man in the store and also gave a description of the vehicle. Police spotted the vehicle at I280 and Curtice Road and began a pursuit which proceeded into north Toledo when the suspect’s vehicle crashed into a metal beam on Ash Street. A foot pursuit ended at a residence on Buffalo Street. An undetermined amount of cigarette packs and cartons had been removed from the store, police said.

$10,000 found Continued from front page don’t believe coincidences of that magnitude. I am guessing it is somewhat related.” Robbery The driver of the Garda armored truck, Angela Cochran, stated in a Toledo Police Report that she had been parked in front of Chipotle’s at 5:05 p.m. that day waiting for her partner, Kyle Arnold, while he went inside the restaurant. She stated she heard someone open the back of the truck and enter it. She thought it was her partner returning from Chipotle. When she realized it wasn’t him, she identified an Hispanic male wearing a black hat, black sunglasses and all black clothes in the back of the truck. Cochran stated that the unknown suspect then fled the truck. She stated she had noticed a white Chevy Impala following the truck throughout the day. Arnold stated he could not see anyone while inside Chipotle and did not witness the robbery. He stated it was his routine to knock twice on the back door of the truck to notify his partner when he was entering. He also stated the lock to the back door of the truck had been broken for about three months. He stated the crews do not drive the same trucks, and the schedule of who drives which truck rotates. It is estimated that $52,000 was stolen from the truck. Sgt. Joe Heffernan, of the Toledo Police Department, said last week there have been no arrests in the case. Navarre said he discussed what should be done with the money at a staff meeting Wednesday morning. “We talked about it. We’re going to have to meet with our law director to find out what we should do with the money. It may go back to the guy who found it,” said Navarre. Revesz said he’d gladly accept it, if that’s what is decided. The most money he ever found before Aug. 4 was $20. He never thought about keeping the $10,000 when he found it, despite having bills he would like to pay off. “I talked to some people, and they said they would have kept it,” he laughed. “But it’s just too much. I couldn’t sleep at night if I had kept it.”

Judge cleared Continued from front page Judge Winters on Sept. 8 issued a statement that he considered the rifle to be property of the court, having been taken by the court before he was elected from a convicted felon who couldn’t legally possess a firearm. “Although the weapon was stored in the Sheriff’s evidence room, it was never property of the Sheriff. This weapon was never associated with a case before the Court and was never to be considered evidence,” the statement says. However, his predecessor Judge Paul Moon, had approved a request by the probation department in 2007 to have the rifle and several other items forfeited to the sheriff department’s special response team. “We now know that a gun that comes into the probation department has to go through a legal forfeiture process,” Hines said Thursday. “All along I felt if Bruce Winters, when he became judge in 2009, knew there was a gun in the evidence room at the sheriff’s department that came through the probation department, he had an obligation to send it through the forfeiture process instead of taking it home. That was really the issue.” She said she’s filed a request with the county commissioners for documentation the county’s liability insurer was notified Judge Winters had possession of the rifle at his home. Winters is seeking re-election in November as an Independent after winning the judgeship in 2008 as a Democrat. His opponent, Lorrain Croy, who was unopposed in the Democratic primary in May, was a magistrate in the common pleas court until she was fired by Winters in 2012. She is endorsed by the Ottawa County Democratic Party.

Grand jury indicts ex-police chief By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Lucas County grand jury recently indicted a former police chief of Walbridge for gross sexual imposition. Timothy Villa Sr., 67, of 6960 Kinsman Drive, Sylvania, was indicted on October 8 for allegedly engaging in sexual contact with a female employee of Data Research, Inc., 5650 West Central Avenue, Suite D, Sylvania. Data Research, Inc., is a private investigation firm owned by Villa, according to Jeff Lingo, chief of the criminal division with the Lucas County prosecutor’s office. “The incident allegedly occurred at his place of business this year on June 16,” Lingo told The Press last week. The case will be assigned to a judge and to a prosecutor before it is set for arraignment, according to Lingo. “He will enter a plea to the charge, then the case will go forward, just like any other criminal case.” Conviction of sexual imposition is a felony, he said. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, which is run by the Ohio attorney general’s office, investigated the incident, said Lingo, because Villa was a former police officer in Sylvania Township several years ago. “To prevent the appearance of impropriety, it was felt to let an outside agency do the investigation, which makes perfect

sense,” said Lingo. Villa was police chief in Walbridge from June to October of 2000. Walbridge chief Villa had been a police officer in several northwest Ohio communities before he was hired as chief in Walbridge. He came under fire shortly after becoming chief when village council learned he had been dismissed as a Walbridge police lieutenant in 1978 for alleged infractions that included insubordination and unauthorized absences. Mr. Villa at the time filed suit and settled out of court with the village for $1,500. Council had asked Villa to resign in June, but he refused to go.

Meanwhile, a growing number of residents had called for his dismissal at packed council meetings, particularly after a series of investigative articles appeared in The Press that detailed Mr. Villa’s sketchy career as a police officer in other communities where he had served, including Elmore, where he was fired for allegedly making false reports and for conduct unbecoming a police officer, and Sylvania Township, where he resigned after allegedly making a false arrest of a teenaged clerk. Criticism of Villa rose after a background check of a police officer he had recommended for hire in Walbridge failed to show the cop was fired from the Holland police department for allegedly making sexual comments to several women, many of whom had filed lawsuits. The officer’s name was dropped from consideration after The Press obtained an internal affairs investigation report of the officer in Holland and broke the story about the accusations against him. After four months, Villa resigned as chief, but not without getting $21,000 as part of a severance agreement from the village. Mr. Villa’s nearly four month term as police chief of Walbridge was the shortest on record.

Villa later filed a civil lawsuit against the Village of Elmore and Sylvania, as well as The Press Newspapers, but it was dismissed.

New salt shed contemplated in Oak Harbor By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Oak Harbor needs to replace the old salt storage shed but leaders are unsure where to construct a new shed. Administrator Randy Genzman said money has been set aside gradually to build a fund of about $45,000 to cover the building costs. “It needs replaced. The sides are blown out,” Genzman said of the current shed located on Finke Road by an equipment storage building. The old shed’s capacity runs about 100 to 225 tons. A new, hoop style facility like Sandusky Township owns could hold more than 400 tons, the administrator explained. That would allow the village to store more salt when prices are lower. Salt prices had been hovering around $30 a ton but skyrocketed this season to more than $100 a ton in the aftermath of the historic winter that swept across the nation last year. Genzman asked council if members

wanted him to find a contractor since the shed project cost falls below the $50,000 minimum requiring the item to go through council procedures. “Do you think it will make it another year?” asked councilman Jim Seaman. Genzman replied, “I can’t believe it’s still standing.” Seaman wondered if the project could be realistically completed this year. Based on his consultations with local contractors in the area, Genzman didn’t think it would be a problem. Councilman Jon Fickert questioned the location for the new salt shed. “Is it in the long range plans to stay at the site,” he asked. Fickert noted that many of the village operations had been transferred from Finke Road to a Water Street facility. Shouldn’t the new shed be set up there instead where most operations are consolidated and could expand, he contemplated. “Our only expansion plan considered now (for village facilities) is at the waste-

water treatment plant,” Genzman said. The Finke Road site has more space for snow plows to turn around, Genzman said. However, he said, he would do an on-site evaluation of the Water Street facility to see if it could accommodate the shed and provide adequate space. While that feasibility study is underway, Councilman Don Douglas wanted to examine the funds “set aside” a little further to ensure that the project wouldn’t impact the general fund which the village is struggling to keep under control. Genzman listed a capital improvements account and another account that contained a combined amount of just over $40,000. Douglas planned to consult with fiscal officer Debbie Carpenter, who was absent from the meeting, to make sure all the funding was in place to fend off any financial surprises down the road. The issue will be discussed again at council’s upcoming finance committee meeting Oct. 20

Walbridge

Plan commission to decide permit request By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The planning commission in the Village of Walbridge has scheduled a meeting for Oct. 23 to decide a request for a conditional use permit by the owners of the former Walbridge Elementary School building at 200 E. Union Street. The meeting will be held in village council chambers and is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. Breanna Hernandez, who chairs the planning commission, said the panel will vote on a non-binding recommendation that will be submitted to village council. She said the commission had a hearing Oct. 9 to discuss the request and allow the public to comment. The building is being used by an organization called EnPuzzlement. Rep-

changed. The EnPuzzlement website describes itself as a resource center that is available to work with individuals “within a nonprofit organization” to receive the “resources they need to complete their goals of service.” Hernandez said a member of the planning commission has toured the building and neighboring property owners attended the Oct. 9 meeting. According to the Wood County auditor’s website, the Lake school board sold the building and parcel in November 2012 for $31, 900 to James and Christian Kolanski.

Here, he began his singing career at the age of 7. As a teenager, his first interest was in

resentatives of the organization, Aaron and Michelle Marks and Roy Badenhop, attended village council’s Aug. 20 meeting to answer questions. According to meeting minutes, Brian Ballenger, village solicitor, asked if there were any employees working in the building and Michelle replied it is operated solely by volunteers. The building owners allow the organization to use the property in exchange for paying the utilities. Asked by councilman Larry Boday what the organization would need to do to remain in the building, Ballenger said a conditional use permit would be required. Village council earlier this month approved an ordinance to deny a zoning change from R1-4 to C-3 commercial the property owners had requested.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

What is your favorite scary movie?

Are you worried about the possible Ebola outbreak in the United States? Yes, there are already cases in the U.S. Yes, we should quarantine people traveling from Africa who enter the U.S. No, the government has it under control.

Cory Wade Floyds Knobs "The Shining because it made me never want to stay in a hotel again."

Malia Stoner New Albany "If we're talking horror movie I'd say The Shining but as for a psychological thriller I'd say The Silence of the Lambs."

Get the facts To the editor: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Toledo began it with the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Komen is a powerhouse organization in breast cancer fundraising and brings in an annual income of approximately $420 million. The history of the organization is seen on the front page of their website. Komen’s founder, Nancy Brinker, promised her dying sister Susan G. Komen that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer. To many people, Komen seems like a wonderful and charitable group. That is, of course, until they learn where the funds are directed. Nancy Brinker has made herself a very wealthy woman. Before her recent $159,000 pay cut, she was making an annual salary of $684,000. Her salary comes from the donations of people who believe they are helping breast cancer patients. Komen’s 2013 financial statement reports that while 43 percent of funds were used for education/awareness, only 15 percent went to research, 12 percent to screenings, and 5 percent to actual treatment. The administration, including Brinker’s salary, received 18 percent. I am abhorred Komen portrays “great strides” in cancer research and survival rates, while breast cancer survival rates have remained unchanged since the mid-1980s – the time at which the organization began. This year in the United States alone, 41,000 people will die from breast cancer. Worldwide, 460,000 people will die from it. Komen has even said early detection of breast cancer is a “cure.” In reality, the high survival rates from early detection you hear about are manipulated data. Early detection only increases your chance of survival for the next five years. Dr. Iman Mohammed, oncologist at UT Medical Center, reports that around 30 percent of people diagnosed with early stage breast cancer will end up with metastatic cancer. This is the type of cancer that rapidly spreads to other areas of the body, primarily the lungs, brain and bones. About 97 percent of people with metastatic cancer will die, a percentage that has also remained unchanged. There are an estimated 155,000 people worldwide living with metastatic cancer, meaning that only 4,650 of them will survive. Events such as the Race for the Cure have trivialized breast cancer into a feathery pink celebration of fluffy ribbons and sisterhood, rather than a deadly disease best fought with scientific understanding. Susan G. Komen for the Cure has the power and money to make an impact and it is unacceptable that it chooses not to. My advice is to consider that before giving Komen a single cent. There are many charities that donate more than 85 percent of funds directly to research. For example, the Breast Cancer Research Fund donates 90 cents of every dollar to supporting breast cancer research. Founded by Estee Lauder, it funds 186 scientists worldwide and has raised more than $350 million for breast cancer. The National Breast Cancer Coalition is a lobbying organization founded in 1991. It set a deadline of Jan. 1, 2020 to end the disease. According to its website, the coalition promotes research into the causes of cancer and best possible treatment. While Susan G. Komen has raised $1.9 billion over the course of its 30 years existence, the National Breast Cancer Coalition

Call to action To the editor: I write to you from the campus of the Ohio State University where I am a student studying finance and a thirdyear member of The Best Damn Band in the Land. I believe that I would not be where I am today had it not been for the support and encouragement of my Woodmore education. The election is fast approaching and there is an important levy on the ballot that requires your “yes” vote. I am referring to the Woodmore Local Schools levy to construct a new performance auditorium in front of the current high school. This auditorium is needed because with the construction of our new elementary school, the old school will be closing and torn down, leaving the students no place to perform and the community no place to gather. As a Woodmore alum, I was involved in the band, symphonic chorale and drama club. These groups, along with the jazz band and men’s and women’s choruses, are exceptional groups that make up the performing arts of Woodmore Schools. I want these same opportunities for the students that follow me. This is a call to action. The auditorium is essential to our community, as it is a space where people can gather and witness and celebrate the dedication and hard work of the students. Many generations of Woodmore students have performed in the Woodville facility, but it is time for something new and improved to benefit the future generations of our community. A community without art is not complete. Woodmore has developed and nurtured so many great citizens – scholars, astronauts, poets, business people, educators, doctors and yes, even musicians. Do your part to continue the legacy. Vote early via absentee ballot if you cannot make it to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4. Dylan E. Fletcher Woodmore High School class of 2010

The final piece To the editor: I attended the open forum for the Genoa Schools levy on Oct. 8 and questions were answered to help clarify the state of our school district. As I left the meeting, I couldn’t help thinking back over the last five to 10 years on the progress that our community has made. Our community has been blessed with active athletic, FFA and music booster clubs and numerous donations that funded many things including Comet “Volunteer” Stadium and a lighted soccer field at no cost to taxpayers. The Genoa PTO remains strong with events including a carnival that raises funds for things too many to mention. We have organizations that create annual events such as Curtice Kidz Day, Genoa Homecoming, and street fairs. Our firefighters continue to build and expand a very effective Joint Fire District. We have active churches, banks,

and a food pantry to support our community. In addition, our community supported paying 42 percent for a new elementary school with the other 58 percent coming from the state. Money was well spent from this great deal and savings were expanded to further upgrades to the auditorium as well as high school gymnasium, classrooms and bathrooms. Operating savings from this decision continue to flow as our elementary school operates “green” with a geothermal system and natural lighting in the classrooms. The change in school location was not an easy one, but thanks to the Allen Township Trustees and Gary and Joy Moritz, our prior elementary school locations are being utilized with a walking course, athletic fields and the Brunner Campus. The final piece of the puzzle is the support of Genoa Schools, which is our community’s largest employer. This levy is not about bricks and mortar, but about our community and most importantly, about our children. There are key points that I learned from the open forum. In data supplied by the state, Genoa is number 600 of 613 in lowest spending per student, and even if this levy passes, would still remain one of the lowest in the area. Genoa Schools have already cut $3.7 million and have had year-to-year spending decreases in each of the last five years to stay off the ballot as long as possible. The district has not received additional community funding for operations since the 2005 levy. While this levy is not about threats, I hope our school and community are not put in the position to raise class sizes to 30-1, cut all-day,every-day kindergarten, or cut other valuable middle school programs including music. I am told “pay to participate” will remain in place. I urge parents, grandparents, relatives, prior graduates and our total community to continue progress and support this much needed funding. Alan Brown Genoa Class of 1980

Get informed and vote To the editor: Even though we can gain some knowledge listening to political speeches or debates, the fact remains that most candidates are telling us what they think we want to hear. Often, it’s not even close to the truth. If you’re a serious voter, Project Vote Smart is an amazing non-partisan website that provides abundant, accurate, relevant information about presidential, congressional, state legislature or gubernatorial races. It gives all the facts on voting records, biographies, issue positions, campaign finances, interest group ratings and public statements of each politician or candidate. Contact the Voter’s Self-Defense System at www.votesmart.org or call 888-VOTESMART. Though it’s always important to vote, it’s even more crucial this year. The knowledge that several of our rights have been threatened by frequent events in the last few years is frightening. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of peaceful assembly are all in peril. Some of us may want to ignore this menace hanging over our heads, but we do so at great risk. The United States Supreme Court took the right to life away from un-

born babies 40 years ago. Do we really want to sit back and let our rights disappear? If we can lose these rights, we can certainly lose others. Please, do yourself a favor. Even if you’ve never bothered to vote before, do it this year. Mary Jo Thieman Bosch Millbury

Enough is enough To the editor: Why was the new school that was built in Woodville, built with only a 300-seat auditorium and not a 600-seat auditorium? Because they want another new auditorium built at the high school. That will be for a 1.98 bond levy for 25 years costing the property owner of a $100,000 home additional $69.30 a year. Property owners, I would like to remind you what we already pay: 1. 2011 – a 4.2 mill emergency levy for five years, which we will vote again in 2015. 2. 2012 – a 3 mill levy for permanent improvement. 3. March –2012 a 5.43 bond levy for 37 years for the new school. 4. One-half mill for permanent improvement (this one is continuous). 5. 2013 – 5.75 levy for current operating expenses for five years. The effective tax rate is 39.8270, which means you pay $39.83 per $1,000 taxable value. Let me ask the school board this, have you ever considered instead of having the property owners pay, have an income tax, where everyone who earns an income would pay? They do this in Fremont school district, to just name one. I was told the school board could ask the voters to vote on this. Is that right? Property owners, let me ask you, how much more do you want to pay? Where are you going to draw the line and say enough is enough? Please look again at what we are already paying above and vote no. Our money can be spent on more important things than another auditorium. Gail Lutman Genoa

VA care lauded To the editor: There has been a lot of uproar about the Veterans Administration the past few months, especially in the highretirement areas such as Arizona. I have been a disabled veteran for the last 55 years, since 1959. I have used the Toledo Veterans Clinic since 1960. Everyone there has listened to my concerns and problems and has done everything for me they could legally do. They treated me like I was a human being. They treated me like I was important. I cannot speak highly enough about them. I feel I have that right because when I started there, they had not been open very long. I probably have used that facility as long as anyone who goes there now. Ethan Remley Oregon

A frustrating game To the editor: While, on behalf of Citizens’ Resistance At Fermi 2 (CRAFT), I have been playing what seems like an Internet game of filing replies and answers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff; DTE’s lawyers and the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. The above mentioned organizations have been filing against CRAFT, as well as, the other legal intervenors. No one sees these filings except the people already involved; therefore, I am writing to bring the public up to date on this most serious “game.” CRAFT filed a “Leave to Intervene and Request for a Public Hearing” in the 20year license extension requested for the Fermi 2 nuclear reactor. Then DTE lawyers and NRC staff filed “Answers” to ASLB that we have no right to a public hearing. We then filed a “combined reply” stating our legal (and moral) rights to a hearing. This filing included a letter from Walpole Island First Nation Chief Dan Miskokomon stating their tribal rights at the Fermi site under the Treaty of Detroit. “Our membership still actively fishes in and harvests the resources of western Lake Erie and other areas in close proximity to Fermi 2,” stated Miskokomon. “We would like an opportunity to thoroughly review the license renewal process to ensure that our rights are protected.” Both the NRC and DTE hold that WIFN has no right in this procedure because they are Canadians. Since WIFN is within the 50mile radius of Fermi, CRAFT filed that excluding WIFN is in violation of Environmental Justice laws. Then the NRC Staff filed a “motion to strike” and actually red lined out CRAFT’s filings. We filed a reply to that foolishness. Meanwhile, the ASLB has set a meeting for oral arguments to be heard in the case on Nov. 20, starting at 9:30 a.m., in the Monroe County Court House. While no one who has not been in on the filings will be able to speak, the public is welcome to come out and bear witness. Jessie Pauline Collins Redford, Michigan

A sound investment To the editor: I am proud of what we are accomplishing at Oregon City Schools. I am proud of the culture of caring that we are fostering in each of our buildings. Our administration, teachers, support staff, coaches, parents and volunteers, aren’t just putting in their time – they are here because they care about results for each child.

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

Nay To the editor: The Woodmore School District is asking property owners to open their pocketbooks once again and vote for tax money to construct an auditorium. I say nay. It seems, like only yesterday, property owners were asked to approve a bond for the school building presently being built. The last bond issue, after being defeated several times on the ballot, (costing the taxpayer each time it was placed on the ballot) was finally approved. Property owners were told that approval the last bond issue would suffice to fund the new school building. The taxpayers are now being asked to approve another $4.5 million to construct an auditorium. I

say nay. I’m fed-up with this school district abusing property owners. I’d like to retire, but, to do so would be difficult. Property taxes presently are costing me about $280 a month (80 percent of this goes to the Woodmore Schools) How is a senior citizen who owns his or her home expected to survive financially in retirement, if taxes continue to eat up retirement funds? The costs of utilities, fuel, food, medicine and insurance are rising, with no end in site. In spite of these rising costs, property owners, are being asked to vote for an auditorium costing $4.5 million . I say nay. Property owners, ask yourself these questions: Does the school really need an auditorium? I say nay. Is an auditorium essential to the education and learning process of the kids? I say nay. Will the kids suffer irreparable harm, physically or mentally, if this auditorium is not built? I say nay. On Nov. 4, I urge property-owners to vote nay to this $4.5 million extravaganza. Terrylee Dembowski Gibsonburg

Get ready, Walbridge To the editor: Halloween on Oct. 30 because of a Lake football game – really? First, how many people from Walbridge go to the games? Second, come on over Toledo, Northwood and whoever – we will have buckets of goodies for you all. Third, Jeff Pettit, I agree with your vote of “no” – Mr. Welling lives more in the country, so he probably only has a few trick-or-treaters, if that. We attended many games, but to open doors for other areas to come to trick-ortreat is a lot for our senior people to deal with. Carol Hanely Walbridge

we can’t change it once it’s passed. They seem to think after we vote for it they can later ask for more money and we won’t remember we have already voted for the continuing levy. What happens a few years down the road and we lose our jobs, get sick and can’t work? Our income is reduced. We still have to pay for a continuing school levy we can’t change. I will vote no on any continuing levy they put on the ballot. Voting for a school levy every three or four years is a way to keep control over the cost of our schools and they way they are run. Please read the article in The Press, “Wood County voters to decide an array of tax issues,” dated Oct. 13. Ella Wilson Lake Township

Reasonable response To the editor: A writer in last week’s issue of The Press questions why Congressman Bob Latta has not answered an invitation to come to a Walbridge Village Council meeting. She opines that their small community doesn’t deserve a visit. If she had been the victim of the venomous letters that have consistently come out of Walbridge, primarily written by one author, she wouldn’t want to go there either. Apparently, though, she did get his attention. Not responding to an obvious plan of attack seems to be a sensible move. Furthermore, the tone of those letters are a pretty good indication that there would be no chance of an intelligent discussion with give and take on both sides. Ruth Brentlinger Millbury

Check it out To the editor: Attention citizens of the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District. The Oak Harbor Public Library will have a 1 mill operating levy on the Nov. 4 ballot. I urge you all to vote yes. The library is a great gift to all children and adults. The library has all kinds of great programs for kids of all ages. If you have a certain book that the library doesn’t stock, they will order it free of charge. They have books on CDs, newspapers, free computer access and so much more. Please vote.

Tombstone Derby to feature spook-tacular new events The Elmore Historical Society has added some new and exciting things this year for the 10th annual Tombstone Derby, which will be held Saturday, Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Depot Park in Elmore. The day’s activities begin with a pie baking contest. This year’s judging will cover three types of pie – pumpkin, fruit and nut. All pies must be baked and must have a bottom crust. No cream pies, hot pies, meringue or custard pies will be accepted. Pies should be taken to the HarrisElmore fire station between 9 a.m. and noon. Judging will begin at noon until done. All winners will be notified by phone. Entrants must fill out two index cards per entry. One should include the name of the pie and the baker’s name, address, phone number and age (for kids’ entries). The other should have the kind of pie and ingredients. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third places. The pies will be sold at the historical society barn during the Tombstone Derby activities. For more information, call Renee at 419-574-1559. Kids are invited to enter the battery-operated car drag races. Prizes will be awarded for the “Best of Show” and “Scariest Car.” The celebration will also include a pet costume contest and a contest for best decorated bicycle and best coffin decorated bicycle in both adult and kids divisions. There will be games for kids and adults alike, including the “body parts toss” and “cadaver toss” and, new this year, a “pumpkin chunking” contest. Ghoulishly good food will be served all day including hot dogs, Coney dogs, chili fries, hobo stew, ice cream and cider. There’s talk around town that several unseemly characters are planning to break out of Crazy Bob’s Sanitarium at the Haunted Hydro in nearby Fremont, and they may try to come to Elmore and mix in with the crowd in hopes that no one will recognize them. Derby-goers are being cautioned to watch for anything or anybody

Everyone is invited to join the “Halloween Parade of Fools” that will go through town. The parade will feature kids and adults in Halloween costumes, kids’ racers, pets, tractors and “Motorized Halloween Racers.” All kids participating will receive a bag of treats. The excitement will rev up at 5:30 p.m. with the annual motorized casket drag races followed by the Tombstone Derby which

features an actual course race with the motorized caskets and other Halloweenthemed racers. Those interested in participating in the Motorized Halloween Races may use gokarts, golf carts, four-wheelers, riding mowers or other power plants. The body may be modified to resemble a casket or, new this year, any Halloween-themed vehicle. Vehicles must be sturdy enough so as not to fall apart, and must have working brakes.

Maximum speed will be 25 miles per hour. 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.

Nothing says “autumn” like pumpkins, colorful mums By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com Autumn is definitely upon us! October skies are clear and bright now and the evenings hold a hint of crisp chill that has already affected the flowers and trees. The maples are beginning to change from bright greens to scarlet and rust. The fall bounty is evident in the stores and farm markets all over the area. Pumpkins, apples, squash, nuts, and gourds are on display in all their cheerful, autumn colors. When the russet leaves begin to drop, find a beautifully shaped and colored one, feel its cool crispness and you hold the essence of the season in your hand. Decorating for this time of year usually includes pumpkins and, if you plan to use them for a Halloween display, here are some tips for pumpkin carving and care: • Select pumpkins for carving that are smooth, free of skin damage, and the right size and shape to fit your design. • Vegetable oil candles will burn more evenly and brightly in your jack-o-lantern than wax candles. • Try placing your carved pumpkins in various spots rather than just on the ground for display. How about hanging some of

el, you can quickly re-plump it by placing it in water overnight. If you are planting mums now for autumn color in your yard, they should bloom through November or longer if we do not have a hard frost. When the mums die back, cut them to the ground level, mulch with straw, etc., and they should come back next year. They will grow and produce foliage through the spring and summer and begin to bloom again in August of next year. Mums like full sun and well-drained soil. If you remove the spent blooms when they are in flower, the plants will keep blooming through the fall season and provide the bright spots of color in yards and gardens when other flowering plants are dying back. October garden tip: October is a great time to plant bulbs for spring blooming. When planting tulips, crocuses or daffodils, instead of planting them in rows, toss four or five bulbs among your flowers or on the ground where you want blooms next spring. Plant them where they fall and enjoy a more natural looking display next spring.

The statistics are sobering and worth focusing on in October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Shop early for Halloween costumes Having taken the world by storm this year, Disney’s Frozen and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle characters will again come to life this Halloween. According to National Retail Federation’s 2014 Halloween Consumer Top Costumes Survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, an estimated 2.6 million children plan to dress up as one of Disney’s Frozen characters, while about 1.8 million children will dress as one of the re-imagined classic characters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The survey also found 75 million adults will dress in costume, and most will stick to traditional options, including a witch (4.8 million), animal (2.6 million), Batman character (2 million), and pirate (1.8 million). Findings revealed that among the 14.3 percent of celebrants planning to outfit their pets, 10.8 percent will dress their furry friends as a pumpkin, the top costume again this year. Fido and Fluffy will also be found disguised as hot dogs, devils, bumble bees, and cats. Americans are expected to spend $2.8 billion on Halloween costumes according to NRF’s Halloween Consumer Spending Survey. Total Halloween spending is estimated to reach $7.4 billion this year, with the average person spending $77.52 on indoor and outdoor décor, costumes, and candy. “It’s clear people love to get creative with costumes, looking for inspiration from pop-culture and politics to history, and even

Halloween safety tips Halloween is an exciting time of year for kids, and to help ensure they have a safe holiday, the American Academy of Pediatrics offers these tips; All dressed up • Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame. • Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility. • Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic makeup and decorative hats as safer alternatives. Hats should fit properly to prevent them from sliding over eyes. • Choose flame-resistant costumes, wigs and accessories. • If a sword, cane, or stick is a part of your child’s costume, make sure it is not sharp or too long. A child may be easily hurt by these accessories if he stumbles or trips. • Arm kids and their escorts with flashlights that have fresh batteries. •Teach children how to call 9-1-1 (or their local emergency number) if they have an emergency or become lost. Carving a niche • Small children should never carve pumpkins. Children can draw a face with markers, then parents can do the cutting. • Consider using a flashlight or glow stick instead of a candle to light your pumpkin. If you do use a candle, a votive candle is safest. • Candlelit pumpkins should be placed on a sturdy table, away from curtains and other flammable objects, and should never be left unattended.

the make-believe and fantasy world,” said Prosper Insights Principal Analyst Pam Goodfellow. “We’re surprised each year with the range of different costumes, and I’m sure this Halloween will be no exception, especially given the historic number of people planning to buy costumes for themselves, their children and even their pets.” “Given the popular holiday falls on a Friday this year, retailers can expect increased web and in-store traffic in the weekdays leading up to the big night, meaning consumers will need to keep their eye on specific must-have items as they are likely to go fast,” said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay. Top adult costumes: 1. Witch 2. Animal 3. Batman Character 4. Pirate 5. Zombie 6. Vampire 7. Doctor/Nurse 8. Action/Super Hero 9. Princess 10.Wench/Tart/Vixen Top children’s costumes 1. Princess 2.

Oregon Community Theatre to present “Spamalot” Oregon Community Theatre will be one of the first local theatre groups to present the award-winning musical comedy, “Monty Python’s Spamalot.” The musical comedy, “lovingly ripped off” from the 1975 film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” will be staged Nov. 7, 8, 14 and 15 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 9 at 3 p.m. Performances are held in the Fassett Auditorium, 3025 Starr Ave., Oregon. The show tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail. It features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows and killer rabbits. “Spamalot” is not just for Python fans – the show is filled with spoofs of many other musicals, including Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Les Misérables” and “Fiddler on Roof.” Seen by more than two million people in its initial Broadway run, the show won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical. This production will be directed by Bill Quinlan and produced by Reed Steele. Quinlan, a huge Monty Python fan going back to the 1970s, was excited to direct the OCT’s first show of the season. One of his biggest challenges, he said, will be “getting the cast up to speed because the humor is tough, it rises and falls – British humor is very insane, random and crazy.” The production is rated PG-13 (mainly for language). Tickets are $17 for adults and $14 for seniors and students. Try out the OCT’s brand new online box office at www.oregoncommunitytheatre.org or call 419-691-1398 for questions or information.

St. Paul’s celebrates 125th anniversary Alison Morrow, Senior Warden of St. Paul’s Vestry, is all smiles as St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Oregon, celebrated its 125th anniversary. The bell behind her, was one of only a few artifacts, salvaged from the original St. Paul’s Episcopal Church which burned in 1951. The original church was located in East Toledo. This fire, which was a total loss, was one of the deciding factors to move the church and its congregation to Coy and Navarre Ave. The bell was re-dedicated and a new Memorial Garden was dedicated on Sunday, Oct.12, 2014 during the worship service.

Toledo soup kitchen facing potential food shortage Helping Hands of St. Louis is in urgent need of food donations for the center’s food pantry and soup kitchen. The shortage is due to the closure of a distributor that donated meat, along with increasing numbers of people seeking assistance. Helping Hands is in particular need of new local organizations and businesses to become long-term partners to meet the growing need. The East Toledo center has experienced a significant increase in food requests in the past four months compared with 2013. Director Paul Cook attributes the increases to the 30 percent cut in food stamps and

more families moving into the East Toledo area. Helping Hands served 4,019 more meals in the past four months compared with the previous year. If the trend continues at the same increase of 20 percent per month, Helping Hands is projected to have more total requests for food in 2014 than any year since 2010. Helping Hands has also seen an increase in visits to the food pantry, which transitioned to a “client-choice” pantry in the summer. The pantry has provided 100 to 150 more grocery bags each month in the past four months compared with 2013. Donation needs include meat prod-

eek: Kidding or Exercising Hostility?

While there are many different types of humor, some good and some bad, one of the things we too often find humor in is making fun of others. This type of humor is usually an exercise in hostility, and the person who is the butt of the joke rarely fails to perceive that the joke is a thinly veiled attack in which they are the object of contempt or ridicule. When this person’s feeling are hurt, it is common for the offending party to say they were just kidding, as if this somehow undoes the damage. Saying that we were just kidding only adds insult to injury, and if the person being made fun of doesn’t laugh it off after being told this, they are often considered to be overly sensitive. Even jokes which don’t single out a particular

Oregon

person can be hurtful to others, because they single out whole classes of people as objects of ridicule. Racist and sexist jokes fall into this category, as do dumb blonde jokes; blondes justifiably take offense at these jokes, because they realize that the insinuation of the joke is that all blondes are dumb. We would do well to hold our tongue when we have something funny to say at someone else’s expense. And, if we have hurt someone’s feeling with a joke at their expense, instead of saying, “Just kidding,” we should offer up a sincere apology. If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain. R.S.V. James 1:26

Home safety checklist Home Instead Senior Care office, which serves the Greater Toledo area, is offering a free home safety checklist for area seniors and their families. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 20 million seniors ages 65 and older visit the emergency room each year, with almost a third of the visits related to injuries, many of which are sustained in the home. Almost half of all home accidents by seniors (48 percent) can be avoided, according to a recent survey of emergency room doctors, conducted by the Home Instead Senior Care network “The home should be the safest and most comfortable place for aging seniors,” says Scott Rozanski, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Greater Toledo area. “It is critical for families and seniors to invest the time in identifying the necessary home safety modifications to ensure it stays that way.” Senior home safety experts recommend that adult children of seniors take at least one day each year to perform a thorough safety check of their parents’ home. “An annual safety check can help seniors avoid dangers that could threaten their independence,” Rozanski said. “When we go into homes, we see a lot of

red flags that are easily overlooked by those who are familiar with the home. Most of the time, these are relatively easy and affordable fixes—and they could be the difference between a trip to the emergency room and staying safe at home.” To request a free home safety checklist, call 419-472-8181.

Time to start talking:

Make parents part of aging process Early and frequent discussing aging issues – such as living arrangements, finances, dating, end-of-life decisions and driving – can save families years of heartache, tension and even legal battles. Yet, research indicates that about twothirds of American families put off these conversations, either because they are uncomfortable with the topics or they just don’t know where to start. Statistics show that 34 percent of adults surveyed are conversation avoiders. That is, they haven’t talked about any important end-of-life issues with their parents or children, or they have talked about just one issue. To help, the local Home Instead Senior Care office is sponsoring the “40-70 Rule” program, which includes an Action Plan for Successful Aging and other resources to help ease these conversations between adult children and their parents. The idea behind the “40-70 Rule” is that by the time adult children are age 40 and their parents are age 70, they should have these critical conversations that will impact the parents’ future. “Unfortunately, it is often not until a crisis happens that families consider these important discussions,” says Scott Rozanski, chief executive officer of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving the Greater Toledo area. “Although the prospect of addressing sensitive topics can

often be intimidating, it’s critical for these conversations to happen before it’s too late.” According to recently conducted research, 70 percent of family conversations about aging issues don’t occur until they are prompted by a health crisis or other emergency. This can increase the likelihood of family disputes. Rozanski says that he hopes this program can change that for area families. For more information about the “4070 Rule” program or to obtain a copy of the Action Plan for Successful Aging, visit 4070talk.com or call 419-472-8181.

Expo to include “Music and Memory” A free training for caregivers on an evidence-based program called “Music and Memory” will be conducted at the Area Office on Aging’s 7th Annual Caregiver Expo, which will be held Saturday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Parkway Place, 2592 Parkway Plaza, Maumee. “Music and Memory” can help family caregivers give new life to someone they love. The training has been proven to make older adults with dementia more alert and oriented, and also helps foster better communication. The program is based on music’s ability to help people feel like themselves, to feel connected to life, to memories and to others.

The Music and Memory YouTube video of a man reacting to hearing music from his era went viral with more than 1.5 million views. A movie about Music and Memory entitled, “Alive Inside,” also won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. Ohio Long-Term Care Ombudsman, Beverly Laubert will discuss Music and Memory at 11:30 a.m. The expo will also feature exhibits and displays geared toward those caring for a loved one or facing the possibility of becoming a caregiver.

Ask for help

Even caregivers need assistance By Carol Durnwald RN, MSN Employer Outreach Coordinator, Hospice of Northwest Ohio Caregiving for an ill, disabled or elderly family member or friend can be a daunting job. Caregivers often leave little time for self-care when caring for the needs of another. In the midst of caregiving, asking for help is not the norm. An excellent way to care for you as a caregiver is to acknowledge the need for help and become comfortable in asking for and accepting help. Accepting help is a sign of strength.

I know I need help, but how do I figure out what I need help with? The infinite number of responsibilities caregivers have can be overwhelming. To decide what kind of help you need, write down everything you do, be it a simple task or complex job. Include what you do to take care of yourself, your family and the care receiver. Determine if all jobs on the list are necessary. We are creatures of habit and sometimes we do jobs just because we always have. Carefully review your list and strike off unnecessary jobs. From your complete list decide which jobs you would choose to be free of. Using this list can help you get assistance from others. You may not be able to reassign every unwanted task, but by relieving yourself of some responsibilities, you can begin to find time to take care of you.

Who can I ask for help? As a caregiver, have you been asked, “Is there anything I can do to help you?” How do you respond? It is not unusual for

caregivers to reject offers for help when in reality they are dealing with more than they can handle. Make a list of everyone who has offered assistance. Use the job list you created to match people with tasks they may be best at. Who could prepare meals for you? Could someone help with paperwork? Who loves to run errands? Maybe a neighbor could simply take your garbage can to and from the curb each week. Even getting rid of small tasks can be a relief. Be sure to carry your job list with you, as you never know when you may be receiving an offer from a helping hand.

How do I ask for help? Asking for help can be uncomfortable. Our society is highly independent. Reaching out for help can make us feel weak, lazy, or incompetent. With all you are doing, know you are not any of these. How do you feel when you help others? Good, right? Helping usually evokes positive feelings. Research has shown that helping others is actually good for our health. With that in mind, realize when others help you; they get the benefit of feeling good. If asking for help makes you nervous, write down what you want to ask and practice asking with someone safe. When asking, be specific about your needs, so you get the help you really need. Sometimes people who have offered help will turn down your request for assistance. If this happens, do not let it stop you from asking others. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength. Accepting help will give you time for you. To be the best caregiver you can, you need to have time for yourself.

Northwood looks to ruin Gibsonburg’s title hopes By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg has been sitting where Northwood usually resides — in first place, likely on their way to the state playoffs. The Golden Bears were 7-0 overall and 3-0 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference and ranked fifth in Division VI, Region 20 with 9.94 points heading into last Friday’s showdown with Hilltop at Robert E. Krotzer Field. The Rangers, winners of two in a row heading into their game Friday at Edon, were 3-4 overall and 2-2 in the TAAC. Northwood is now 14th in the region with 4.89 points, six spots out of the final playoff position. If the Rangers want to have any chance at getting to the postseason for the sixth consecutive season, they’ll have to win out. Beating Gibsonburg would do a lot to help them accumulate valuable computer points and sneak into the playoffs. For the Golden Bears, this is the season they have been waiting for. After going 14-16 overall in their first three years in the TAAC, Gibsonburg has gotten over the hump and established itself as one of the league’s top teams this year. Quarterback Matt Tille has led the way, helping to pace a potent, high-octane passing attack that has scored at least 35 points in every game. Their best output came in a 62-35 win over Edon in week 6. Tille is currently second in the league in passing, having completed 95-of-186 passes for 1,631 yards and 21 touchdowns, and is also second in rushing with 885 yards on the ground. He’s got a great group of receivers in Derek Angelone (32 catches, 631 yards), Erik Jahna (13 catches, 351 yards), Marcus Tille and Griffin Geary. Running back Josh Dyer (70 carries, 476 yards) has been able to consistently run with the football, taking pressure off the passing game. However, it’s the defense, which has adjusted to second-year defensive coordinator Steve Hankish’s schemes, that has been the difference maker. “Our defense has done an outstanding job through the first seven games,” said Gibsonburg head coach Steve Reser, now in his fifth year. “This is year two with Coach ‘Hank’ on our staff, and I feel that he does a great job, especially in game planning, to get our young men in position to be successful. I also feel the players have a better understanding of the scheme, as well of our expectations of how to play the game. We feel our defense plays fast, physical, and together, which is what we expect of our team as a whole.” Reser also credits his players with putting in the work before the season began to make their current situation a reality. “I’m excited for our young men,” he said. “They have worked very hard in the offseason in the weight room and with their summer speed workouts and agility to be competitive. It is definitely advantageous for the current and future states of our football program to see some reward for hard work, as it doesn’t always happen.” Rangers remain challenge Reser believes his club will be challenged playing at Northwood. Two weeks ago, the Rangers got running back Dominik Bermejo back from an injury. “Coach (Ken) James and the Northwood football program have proven that they

Gibsonburg senior quarterback Matt Tille looks for running room. (Press photo by Douglas L. Hise) know how to play the game of football,” Reser said. “There is no doubt in my mind that Coach James will have them ready to go in week 9.” Holding the Rangers’ potent Wishbone attack in check will be vital. “With them, it is definitely important to stop any big play,” Reser said. “Northwood has the ability to turn a twoyard run into a 92-yarder on any play if we are not sound up front. It’s also very important to tackle well, as they have some of the hardest runners in the TAAC, including Mr. Bermejo.” In Bermejo’s return last week, he was a force to be reckoned with, accounting for 242 yards of total offense and four touchdowns. It was his first game back after sustaining an injury during the first half of the Rangers’ opener against Ayersville, a 27-21 Northwood loss. But Bermejo’s return to the lineup was just one of the reasons for Northwood’s turnaround. “We got a little better up front, we protected the ball better, and getting Bermejo back helped,” Northwood coach Ken James said. “I think our seniors did a good job of keeping their heads, not panicking, and not giving up. We’re playing quite a few underclassmen, especially on offense. Most weeks we’re starting eight to nine underclassmen on offense, and many of them are sophomores. We knew practice

would help and that we’d get better as we kept plugging away. We tried some guys in different spots. That’s helped us get guys in position where we’re more comfortable. “We’ve had Mike Vallejo get better at quarterback. Chandler Hayes has gotten better at running back, Joey Woody has had some good games for us at running back and we’ve gotten production from Johnny Wheeler.” James, now in his 29th season at Northwood, knows that his rushing attack will have to move the ball in order to score points, but says the Rangers also must keep the Gibsonburg offense off the field. “I think it will be huge,” he said. “They’re putting up 40, 50, 60 on the

board. Part of that is because they’re good on defense and they get the offense the ball a lot. They’ve done a good job on defense. That will be a huge part of the equation. “The more we keep the ball, the more competitive we’ll be. It boils down to execution. We can’t turn the ball over and have penalties. We talk about staying on schedule — getting four to five yards on first down. Some people call it 10-foot football — threeand-a-half feet each play. Football’s gotten the way where everybody hits the home run. In the past few years, we ran a no-huddle offense and now we’ve started to huddle a little more (to help the defense). We’re playing a fair amount of guys one way. For us, it’s easier to play offense, especially if you’re running the ball.” Defensively, James is hoping sophomore linebacker Trevor Mack will continue his progression against the Bears. Mack is already closing in on school records. “He had 18 tackles last week (15 solo, three assists),” James said. “If he stays on his current pace, he’ll have over 100 tackles. Trevor is a little bigger than his brother, Tyler. If you tell Trevor what has to be done, he gets it done. He’s a smart kid, a good student in the classroom. He always knows the defensive alignment up front. He had a big interception that he ran back to the 10-yard line against Gibsonburg last season. He’s been exactly what we needed.”

One season, two league championships for Stritch By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A lot of different parts go into making up a successful soccer team, so Cardinal Stritch senior Cassie Gruetter knew she had to get it in gear if she wanted to be a contributor in 2014. “She was a player who barely played last year,” Cardinals coach Dan Roggelin said. “She got in the gym in the offseason and got into great shape and came out as a starter and a captain on our team. She’s a very positive player, one who puts the team first.” The Cardinals finished 13-4-1 last season and graduated just three seniors from that team. Gruetter, who plays defender, said this year’s squad had the same potential and she wanted to be an integral part of it. “In the offseason I thought about trying to be better, not just for myself but for the team,” Gruetter said. “I would work out after school every day and then in the summer, after babysitting, I would go to the gym in the afternoon. I was there for (team) conditioning in the summer every single day. I felt like I needed to improve myself, get myself better. I was elected as a captain, so I feel my teammates saw my improvement and they rewarded me with that title.” Stritch has two other captains in junior center midfielder Kama Hardy, last year’s Toledo Area Athletic Conference Player of the Year, and senior midfielder/ forward Sarah Wamer. Hardy had another outstanding regular season, scoring 29 goals to go with eight assists, and Wamer has 12 goals and eight assists. Wamer, who counts Gruetter as one of her best friends, said Gruetter brought this year’s team closer together. “She’s really always the one who is there for encouragement and for help,” Wamer said. “If you need to get something off your chest, she is the one to go to. She’s there to help you.” The Cardinals ended the regular season with a 4-1 win over Bowling Green.

(Press photo by Doug Karns/KateriSchools. org) Stritch went 5-1 in the TAAC to defend last year’s title, and also won the Northwest Ohio High School Scholastic Soccer League championship with a 4-0 mark. The Cardinals outscored their four NWOHSSL opponents — Northwood, Ottawa Hills, Whitmer and Bowsher — by a 20-4 margin. Stritch’s only two losses are against Northwood (in TAAC play) and to Delta. The Cardinals tied the school record for regular-season wins, equaling last year’s team. “They’ve exceeded expectations,” Roggelin said. “We have three freshman starters on the team and to do this well, what a fantastic group of kids. They have come together as a team. They push each other and help each other.” Hardy agreed.

“We’re close and we’re friends with each other,” she said. “We all work hard together at practice and we all want to win. I wanted to be able to help the team win the TAAC, which we did. I just wanted to make our team known, where everyone wants to try to beat us.” On Tuesday, in the first round of the Division III tournament, Stritch, now 142, defeated Northwood (11-6) in their rubber match. This time, the loser was going home, and either team was vulnerable. Stritch trailed by as many as two goals most of the game, and then closed it out in the end to win it 4-3. Stritch played at No. 4 seeded Huron Saturday afternoon with a trip to the district tournament on the line. District play

begins Wednesday at Lake Community Stadium with the Stritch-Huron winner taking on the Oak Harbor-Archbold winner at 7 p.m. The Lake-hosted district final is Saturday at 5 p.m. Wamer said she had a good feeling about this season but admitted, “I am surprised with how well we did.” “I wasn’t sure where I was going to stand with everybody last year because I wasn’t close to anybody last year,” said Wamer, who transferred from Lake after her freshman year. “This year I knew we were going to have the same feel for the game. I really like how close all of us have become and how well we’ve learned to work together. I like how much fun we make everything. We make the best out of every situation.” The Cardinals have gotten contributions from nearly the entire roster. Junior forward Kali Hardy has 11 goals and one assist, sophomore left forward/defender Caitlyn Amborski has eight goals and two assists, junior defender Abby Reichert has three goals, senior defender CeCe Gozdowski has two goals, and midfielder/ forward Danielle Mancy has two goals and one assist. Rookie keeper Hanna Hymore has 116 saves and six shutouts, and fellow freshmen Maddie Brown (3 assists, 2 goals), a defender, and Hanna’s twin sister, Olivia, have been solid starters. “We all have our own talents in what we’re good at,” Gruetter said. “What makes us a team is just what we like to say at Stritch, we’re family. We work together.” Kama Hardy was optimistic about her team's match against eighth-ranked Huron Saturday. Stritch last won a sectional title in 2005. “We all want to go far,” Kama Hardy said. “We don’t want the season to be over.” Wamer added that a sectional title “would be really good for us.” “I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit for what we do,” Wamer said. “All of my teammates are really good, and I don’t think they know what their worth is. A sectional title would prove that we are better than what we give ourselves credit for.”

Kaighin, Eagles doing their part to rebuild program By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com First-year Clay boys soccer coach Sean Kaighin didn’t necessarily like the Eagles’ 5-0 loss at Findlay on Tuesday, but he can live with it. After all, the Trojans are what Kaighin is hoping to build with his program. “They’re a solid team,” Kaighin said. “They’re ranked in the state pretty high and they’re fast and they’re big, very technically sound. Really, we just want to take away what we can from every game.” Kaighin is Clay’s fourth coach in the past five years, so there hasn’t been any stability at the top. After a slow start and some rough losses to more established programs this season, however, the Eagles are buying into what Kaighin is selling. Clay finished 8-8-1, including 4-3 in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference with wins over rivals Whitmer (6-0), Fremont Ross (5-4), Lima Senior (1-0) and Central Catholic (2-0). The Eagles also finished 4-2-1 in Division II in the NWOHSSL. Last Monday, their season ended with a 9-1 first round loss to another TRAC opponent, St. Francis de Sales, a team that received votes in this year’s Division I coaches’ poll, in the first round of the tournament. “These boys have had a rough year the last several years,” Kaighin said. “Last year they won one game and they have had several coaches every year. There’s been no stability, and we are trying to establish that first. We didn’t want to stand for a two- or three-win season. We knew we were better than that. It’s just a matter of bringing the boys together and getting them to establish team chemistry.”

(Photo ©Amy Hansen) Kaighin already invested his time into the Clay program before he took over as head coach (his assistants are Justin Guy and Aaron Haar). He was a four-year player for the Eagles before graduating in 2005, and helped Clay win an NWOHSSL title in 2004. This year’s team, Kaighin said, has

come a long way. “Every day I walk away from a game with a parent or an administrator or someone involved with an opposing team, and they say we look 10 times better than last year,” Kaighin said. “They’ve come together and put the effort in in training. The coaching staff has just demanded a lot more from these boys. It’s a step-by-step process. The boys are going to make mistakes. Unfortunately, they have to make them in games.” The Eagles had four seniors this year but only one of them, midfielder Gabe Mendoza, played the majority of the time. Mendoza led the team with 15 goals. “He’s that strong center-mid that you need to give your team some roots in the middle of the field,” Kaighin said. “He’s physical, aggressive and so fast - and he’s got a left foot like I’ve never seen before. When he connects, he can make that shot. We’ve really had to lean on him a lot.” Clay’s second leading scorer was Henrique Lucas, an exchange student from Brazil. “He’s been a good addition,” Kaighin said. “He helped the boys realize what they need to do as far as development. When he showed up and started training with us, one of his first comments was we needed to play faster. He really did help bring them to a point where they understand what it takes to play at this level.” Junior midfielder Noah Graham led the Eagles in assists, with 12. “He always has a smile on his face and he loves the game,” Kaighin said. “You see the adrenaline rush he gets when he plays, and that excites you as a coach. He gets a thrill out of playing and taking players on and trying to make himself a better player.”

Freshman center midfielder Zach Groll, who plays club soccer and has played for Pacesetter, brought a lot to the table in his first year on varsity, according to Kaighin. “I leaned a lot on him this year and expected a lot from him,” the coach said. “He has a lot more experience than some of these other kids. I can trust him to make the right decision and know where ball should go. He understands and sees the game.” Clay’s keeper is junior Noah Badenhop, who had 52 saves. Badenhop is a former football player who turned to soccer after doctors advised him not to play football following a serious elbow injury. Badenhop had never played in goal prior to this season. “He wanted to stay active and we decided to give him a chance,” Kaighin said. “He is definitely an athlete, but he still has a lot to learn. He definitely helped us out and has come a long way.” Another key to Clay’s success was the versatility of junior Landon Bleau, who predominantly played defensive midfielder. “He was my utility man this year,” Kaighin said. “I played him at just about every position, and that’s not an easy thing to do. He never complained and just does what he’s asked. He’s a talented soccer player but a really smart kid. You can see it in his decision making on the field.” Kaighin said he’s already looking forward to making bigger strides with the program next year. “I’m anxious to see where these next years take us,” he said. “I’m not going anywhere. This is my home and this is where I want to stay. I want to bring Clay soccer to a level they want to be at. We have to go out there and earn it, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Alyssa Heintschel (Clay) recorded her first collegiate shutout Sunday as the Ball State soccer team earned a 1-0 win at Kent State. It was a key Mid-American Conference road win against a Kent State team that had previously lost only once at home this season. The Cardinals improved to 7-4-2 (3-3 MAC) and remained in the middle of the league race. Kent State dropped to 7-4-3 (22-2 MAC). “I am very pleased with the way we rebounded from some adversity the past two games,” Ball State coach Craig Roberts said. “I couldn’t have asked for more spirit from our players. We showed some true characteristics of a winning team.” Defensively, the Cardinals posted their sixth shutout of the year. Heintschel, a freshman from Oregon, earned the start and made seven saves to keep the Golden Flashes off the scoreboard. She had previously combined for a shutout with Brooke Dennis, but Sunday marked her first solo shutout. “Alyssa did a tremendous job in goal,” Roberts said. “She collected crosses dominantly and aggressively. It was a first-class performance.” The Cardinals faced a 17-7 deficit in total shots but kept Kent State off the board. With the win, Ball State surpassed the halfway point of the conference schedule. .

Mahler aces No. 8 Clay sophomore Jenna Mahler became the first female golfer in school history to record a hole-in-one when she aced the No. 8, 105 yard hole with a 6-iron at Eagles Landing. The golf team was shooting a qualifying round to see who represents Clay in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference tournament. Mahler was in a flight with two teammates, and none of them knew for sure she had aced the hole until they got to the green. “I knew it was going to be close, and

In the Division I sectional tournament at Detwiler Golf Course, Clay finished eighth, shooting 412. Mahler shot 106, Courtney Quinlan led the Eagles with a 96, Sydney Sauerwein shot 103, Maddison Grimes scored 107 and Kendall Jacobs had 108. SUA was champion there, also, scoring 308. Crosson’s team was inexperienced this year, but Mahler says it was a learning experience. “It is something I like to do. We could have done better, but it was a lot of fun for us, being our (sophomore’s) first year in matches,” Mahler said.

I thought I would just be able to one-putt for a birdie,” Mahler said. “Then, I got up there and I thought, ‘Well, it must have rolled off’ and my friends said to check the hole, so I did, and I was in there and I was so shocked. “We were all so shocked. We couldn’t even believe it. It’s unbelievable,” Mahler added. Clay boys’ golfers have recorded five holes-in-one all-time, but Clay girls coach

Kevin Crosson believes there may be more in store for Mahler. “Jenna ended the season with a 54.375 average as a sophomore and improved thoughout her first season playing varsity golf. Hopefully she will have many more,” Crosson emailed The Press. St. Ursula Academy won its’ fourth consecutive TRAC championship, taking every title since the TRAC began competition. Clay finished fifth.

Tim Lynn recovers, grabs title

OCTOBER 20, 2014

Happy 58th Anniversary

Kaye & Stan Tomsic

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Tim Lynn really never saw it coming. He didn’t know that accidentally stepping onto a bush in September 2013 would set his training back during his junior cross country season at Cardinal Stritch. “A rose bush snapped up into my leg and I had an injury in my Achilles and my calf for a week or two,” Lynn recalled. “That really set me back last year. The bush went into the side of my leg, and it just didn’t feel right for two days. That’s really the only injury I’ve ever had in my entire life. It was better after like two or three weeks, but my conditioning had really fallen off. I was still in decent shape, but not great shape.” Lynn, who was unable to get out of the district meet last year, managed to avoid any freak injuries this season and is peaking at the ideal time. The 6-foot-4 senior won the individual title Oct. 11 at the Toledo Area Athletic Conference meet at Maumee Bay State Park. The win was satisfying for Lynn after placing eighth at the same meet as a freshman and second as a sophomore and junior. “It felt great after coming in second the last two years,” Lynn said. “Both times I thought I was going to win, and I had a chance to win and some person came out of nowhere. It felt kind of good to finally win (last Saturday). It was a relief, that all that work is starting to pay off.” Lynn won the TAAC title in a seasonbest time of 17 minutes, 23 seconds. His previous best was 17:42 on the same course, at the Cardinal Stritch Invitational on Sept. 20. Dominic Adduci of Ottawa Hills was a distant second, in 17:36.4, last week. “I think it was definitely my race to lose,” Lynn said. “I had raced the guy from Ottawa Hills earlier in the year and beat him. He was pretty much the main competition.” Fourth-year Cardinals coach Lee Mitchell, whose team finished third behind Ottawa Hills and Gibsonburg, said four or five runners had a chance to win the TAAC meet. “When you’re running, some days you feel good and some days you feel poorly,” Mitchell said. “We were hoping for that kind of performance (from Lynn). He’s usually good in the important races, the ones we kind of peak for.” Mitchell added that Lynn is hitting his stride just in time for Saturday’s district meet at Galion. “Last year we thought he was right on track and then he picked up an injury,” the coach said. “For a long time he kind of liked to lay back and not go harder at the beginning. This year he’s gone out harder, because you can’t catch up. He’s had to adjust and go with the leaders a little more than before. Tim’s a very competitive person in anything. Some kids have that.” Mitchell said one thing that separates Lynn from many other high school runners is that he gets up early in the morning to run before school. “Tim does a lot of extra work,” Mitchell said. “Most high school kids don’t get enough sleep, but he will go out on his own and do those early morning runs, and it’s paid off. He’s been our captain the last two years, and you don’t want to not be able to perform for your team. He’s been a really good team guy.” Lynn said he became interested in cross country after watching his older sister, Rebecca, run for St. Ursula Academy years ago. “Ever since then, I was hooked,” he said. “She ran one or two years for St. Ursula, and watching them run caught my eye. It’s fun to compete in cross country; you can see where you are against other people.” Lynn is no stranger to winning titles. Last spring he won the 800-meter run and was on the winning 4x800 relay at the TAAC track and field meet. His sights are now set on Saturday’s Division III district race at Galion, where the top four teams and top 16 individuals not on qualifying teams advance to the regional in Youngstown.

Moving up through the ranks pays off for A.J. Achter By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It took Clay product A.J. Achter four years of high school, a few years at Michigan State and stints with five minor league teams to get to this point. On Sept. 3, the 6-foot-5 right-hander walked out to the mound exactly one week after his 26th birthday to make his major league debut for the Minnesota Twins against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Achter, who had an 18-16 record in the minors, pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning to help secure an 11-4 Twins victory. “It was pretty special,” he said. “The most nerve-wracking part was waiting in the bullpen for the call. Once I got out on the mound, everything felt like business as usual. The wait was tough, but once I got out there it was pretty smooth sailing. It helped that the three (batters) I faced in my debut were guys I had faced in the minors.” The first batter Achter faced was Sox catcher Josh Phegley who, ironically, played at Big Ten rival Indiana when Achter was at Michigan State. Phegley, who popped out to second base, and Achter were also teammates on the International League All-Star team this summer. After his debut, Achter celebrated at the Target Field restaurant with his parents, Rod and Cindy, and his girlfriend, Kaiti Nester. “I finally paid for dinner,” Achter said. “I could finally afford to pick up the tab that night. It was a good celebration for us.” Achter ended up pitching in seven games in relief this season for the Twins, who finished dead last (70-92) in the American League Central Division. He threw 11 innings and gave up 14 hits, with five strikeouts and three walks. He allowed two home runs and gave up seven runs (four earned) for a 3.27 ERA. Before getting called up to the Twins, Achter went 4-4 with a 2.38 ERA in 40 games for Minnesota’s Triple-A team in Rochester, of the International League. He even got to pitch against the Mud Hens at Fifth Third Field. Achter earned his first, and only, major league victory on Sept. 26 against the Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit. He said he attended “five to 10” games there over the years, the last time coming in 2009 when he was a sophomore at MSU. Fast forward five years, to Sept. 26, and Achter found himself on the mound at Comerica Park, with runners on first and

(Photo courtesy of Brace Hemmelgram/Minnesota Twins). second with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning. “It was pretty cool,” he said. “I kind of had a small sample size of what it would be like pitching in Toledo earlier in the year,

pitching against a team I grew up rooting for and went to their games. Thankfully, that prepared me a little bit (for Comerica Park). I got thrown into a game-on-theline situation, so I didn’t have much time

to think about too much except getting the Martinez’s (Victor and J.D.) out. They were two of the best hitters in the game this year.” Achter said he wasn’t nervous. “I was pretty locked in,” he said. “You don’t really hear too much out there, but I could feel the crowd, especially when Victor flew out to the warning track. It was a playoff environment, with them trying to win the division. Those were two of the biggest outs I’ve ever gotten in my life.” Achter got Victor Martinez to fly out to deep right field, and J.D. Martinez flew out to center to end the inning. Achter pitched two innings and gave up two hits and one walk. One of the hits was a solo home run by Miguel Cabrera, on a 3-2 pitch. “I had faced him up in Minnesota a couple weeks beforehand and I got him to fly out to center on one pitch,” Achter said. “In Detroit, it was a totally different situation. We were up seven runs and I was going in there for my third inning of work. I knew my job was to go after him and attack him. The last thing I wanted to do was walk him, even being up seven runs. At the end of the day, I wanted to attack him and be able to say I went after him. I’m not the first guy and not the last guy he’ll hit a home run off of. I can live with it.” Achter, a 46th-round draft pick in 2010, got the win in the Twins’ 11-4 victory. Manager Ron Gardenhire made an announcement in the Twins’ clubhouse after the game and gave Achter a game ball. “Everyone from the team came up and shook my hand, which was pretty cool,” Achter said. “It was a pretty special moment.” Three days after Achter’s win over the Tigers, the Twins fired Gardenhire, who coached in Minnesota for 13 seasons and won six A.L. Central championships. “That was a little tough,” Achter said. “He was obviously the only manager I knew in the big leagues. He was awesome, a guy who commanded respect out of his players. He treated everyone right and coached the game right. The organization will definitely miss him. He was great to me and I was sad to see him go.” Achter said his next step is to report to spring training next year and “hopefully compete for a job.” “Obviously I was up there in September because rosters expanded,” he said. “I need to come in ready to spring training, ready to make that opening-day roster. There’s a lot of competition, so it will be good for guys like me to hopefully get that shot.”

Haley Hess top runner, her Uncle Dave is the top coach By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com For the second straight year, a Clay girls cross country runner is the Three Rivers Athletic Conference individual champion. But this year, it is someone new, simply because Erin Gyurke graduated. Taking over her spot is junior Haley Hess, who was named TRAC girls cross country Athlete of the Year. At Pearson Metropark, Haley finished in 18:36.4, defeating second place Sherman Stephanie, a junior from Notre Dame, by 4.1 seconds. “She ran a great race,” Clay coach Dave Hess said. “She did exactly what she needed to do. They ran stride for stride for three miles, then with about 200 meters to go, she stepped on it a little bit and Stephanie couldn’t go with her. Stephanie ran a great race, too.” One year earlier, Haley finished second in the TRAC meet behind who else, her teammate, Erin Gyurke. Haley said last year that Erin always set the tone for the team, but now she gets to do that. Her Uncle Dave Hess, in his 26th year as Clay coach, is TRAC Co-Coach of the Year with Central Catholic’s Steve Urbanski, but it was the Eagles which repeated as team champions, scoring 30 points to outdistance second place Notre Dame (38). Central showed significant improvement, scoring 48 to finish third. Just like last year, everyone knew Clay was the team to beat, and no one could do it. “We weren’t surprised at all. We knew we were capable of that. They definitely stepped up their game and they showed up to race. When they race, good things happened, and they raced,” Coach Hess said, putting more than a literal emphasis on the word “race.” Haley is joined by sophomore Sydney Hess on the All-TRAC first team. Clay jun-

At right, TRAC girls Athlete of the Year, Clay junior Haley Hess. (Press photos by Scott Grau/TRACsports.org) ior Hannah Hess and freshman Meredith Wisniewski are second team and senior Brooke Gyori and sophomore Caitlyn Kuecher are honorable mention. Sydney Hess (19:55.2) finished fifth in the TRAC meet, Hannah Hess (20:23.7) was 11th, Wisniewski (20:24.8) 12th, Brooke Gyori (20:40.1) 16th and Kuecher (20:44.3) 17th. In all, Clay runners took six of the top

17 spots. “We’ve had our ups and downs during the season, but you know we had kids doing multiple sports and activities, so we’re not always at full strength every time we race, but we were at full strength on Saturday, and we ran like we were,” Coach Hess said. “We’re hoping our team can still make it to state. We’ve got to keep improving to

get there. The idea is just to move ahead each week. We are going to train through the district a little bit. We are going to try to win, but, our main goal is just to move on,” the coach continued. Last year’s team finished eighth at the Division I state meet, but Erin Gyurke, who had already placed in her prior trips to the Columbus area as an individual, was not at full strength at regionals or state because of illness. This year, the team appears healthy. Last year, Haley Hess became the Eagles’ second individual regional champion, joining Kati Sekinger. Haley placed sixth in the state meet at Hebron, Ohio, finishing in 18:41. Haley hasn’t quite figured out yet who her top competition will be in the district and regional meets this year yet. “My goals are to get back to the state meet. I got sixth last year, so I’m aiming to get top three this year. I don’t know who my competition is yet — I haven’t really looked,” Haley said. “First, we’ve got to perform at the district and we’ve got to keep training hard in practice.” Coaches do look at team times around the state, and they have Clay ranked sixth in Division I. Haley says this all stems from summer workouts where she and her sisters run as many as 40 to 50 miles per week, usually at Pearson or Wildwood Metroparks. Haley says it helps when you have friends to run with. However, practices under Coach Hess are not all about long distance running — it’s often various forms of training that do the trick. On Monday, Haley says they do “threemile repeats.” Tuesday is recovery day from the hard work-out on Monday, and on Wednesday they often run up to 12 “400s” and lift weights. The Clay boys team finished fifth in the TRAC, scoring 42 points. Senior Vanya Barron and junior Adam Burns are honorable mention All-TRAC.

4866 Applewood Lane in Northwood. 2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Sun Room 2 Car Garage, 1664 Sq. Ft. Off Bradner Road at St. Rte. 579. Contact Don Ziegelhofer 419-376-1751

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.

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.

Leaf Collection Schedule Leaves will be collected in the areas listed below on a rotating basis two (2) days in each area (approximately every two (2) weeks) as scheduled to complete the job or as long as weather permits (snowfall and ice). Please be advised that the schedule below may end early due to inclement weather or as warranted by existing conditions. Leaves must be bagged for garbage pick-up when the schedule ends. Leaves may be bagged and put out with the weekly garbage pick-up at any time (40lb bag limit). The City suggests that you use your leaves for compost and bedding for your garden areas. No parking on streets during leaf pick-up in your area on days scheduled. Area #1 (From Navarre Ave. (both sides) to the south city limits and from the west side of Lallendorf Rd. to the west city limits) Oct. 21 or 22 Nov. 5 or 6 Nov. 24 or 25. Area #2 (From the west side of Wheeling St. to the west city limits and from Navarre Ave. northerly to Seaman Rd) Oct. 23 or Oct. 24 Nov. 7 or Nov. 10 Nov. 26 & Dec. 1. Area #3 (From the east side of Wheeling St. to Coy Rd (both sides) and Navarre Ave northerly to the south side of Starr Ave) Oct. 27 or Oct 28 Nov. 12 or 13 Dec. 2 or 3. Area #4 (from the north side of Starr Ave to Corduroy Rd (both sides) and from the east side of Wheeling St to Coy Rd (both sides) Oct. 29 or Oct 30 Nov. 17 or 18 Dec. 4 or 5. Area #5 (Bay Shore Rd (both sides) north to Maumee Bay from Alabama St east, including South Shore Park south of Bay Shore Rd) - Nov. 3 or 4, Nov. 19 or 20 Dec. 8 or 9. Area #6 (All main roads and all other areas not included in areas 1 thru 5) will be collected on an “as needed� basis.
