$2.3 million grant

Land bank targets 30 blighted homes By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Several blighted homes in the Birmingham neighborhood in East Toledo will be demolished thanks to a $2.3 million award to the Lucas County Land Bank’s Neighborhood Initiative Program (NIP) from the Ohio Finance Agency. Wade Kapszukiewicz, chairman of the land bank’s board of directors, told The Press last week that the funds will go towards razing 230 blighted properties in Toledo, 30 of which are in the Birmingham neighborhood. “Our experience, over the last five years, is that demolishing a home costs about $10,000. We can stretch $2.3 million into 230 homes,” he said. Since last year, the land bank has

Cannon rededication

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon block watch members want city council to pass a curfew that would address juvenile crime. Several expressed their concerns at a Safety Committee meeting last month. Vandalism, vehicle theft, and trespassing were just a few juvenile crimes they said were impacting their neighborhoods. “We have repeated issues with juveniles,” said Lori Render, a block watch member. “We have groups of juveniles waking up sleeping residents, vehicles ransacked, teenager mischief, and juveniles cutting through residents’ properties. Oregon police are limited in what they can do or say without a juvenile curfew,” she said. “Disruptive individuals come from surrounding towns and cities because there is currently no juvenile curfew in Oregon,” said Render. Juveniles congregate on street corners, in parks and residents’ yards, egging vehicles and houses, she added. A juvenile curfew would discourage juveniles and adults from other communities from “entering our communities for the purpose of disruptive or illegal activities,” she said. Police Chief Mike Navarre said he didn’t think a curfew is needed. “A curfew ordinance is a major decision in a community. You really have to consider it very carefully,” he said. Oregon, he added, is a “very safe community” with little crime. “I looked at burglaries, theft of autos, types of nuisance crimes. The numbers were not only relatively low, but a majority of those - 70 percent of thefts of autos and 80 percent of burglaries - occurred during non curfew hours or daylight hours. I don’t want anyone to think that passing a curfew ordinance will make all those crimes go away. It’s not.” Juveniles, he said, like to hang out at night, especially in the summer. “We have a convenience store that’s open 24 hours a day at the corner of Starr and Wheeling, a very busy location, which attracts a lot of business, some of which are young people. I know it’s a concern of many of you - young people out on the street up

conducted demolition and greening work under NIP. With the addition of the $2.3 million award, the land bank has now received a total of $11.25 million, the highest

award per capita of any county in the state, according to Kapszukiewicz. Those funds have helped the land bank demolish a total of 200 deteriorated houses in East Toledo alone. The land bank recently conducted a survey of 122,000 parcels in Toledo and assessed each property’s condition. Based on the results of the survey, blighted housing in specific neighborhoods are being targeted for demolition with the $2.3 million, said Kapszukiewicz. “Last summer, we did something that never before happened in Toledo. We sent volunteers and staff to each property. I’m not talking about driving by at 35 mph. I’m talking about walking on the sidewalk in front of the house, with either a phone or laptop that has an app attached to it. Photos Continued on page 2

Online results The results of the Toledo survey are on the land bank’s website www.lucascountylandbank.org. “You can look at any house in Toledo, click on it, see the photo we took, and the letter grade we gave it,” he said. Besides demolition, the land bank provides a number of services to help strengthen neighborhoods and increase property values, he said. “We do an awful lot of rehab and give out loans for new roofs and things like that,” he said. Since its inception in 2010, the land bank has returned almost 1,000 vacant lots, residential homes, and commercial properties to productive use and demolished over 1,200 properties that were nuisances to the community. What happens to the properties after the buildings are demolished? “It varies case to case,” said Kapszukiewicz. “In the overwhelming majority of cases, they are acquired by the adjoining property owner. If the land bank demolishes a burned out, blighted home, the neighbor will be able to purchase the lot for $100. Over 95 percent of our demolitions end up owned by the adjacent property owner, which is part of our mission. The neighbor then has a larger lot, a bigger yard for green space or a garden - whatever they want. It improves the quality of that person’s house, and also the neighborhood at large. It increases property values and keeps that neighborhood strong.” The only properties acquired by the land bank are those that are vacant, abandoned and tax foreclosed. If the house is occupied, “we do not involve ourselves with it.” “If it’s a nuisance house and they’re not taking care of it, Toledo City Council and the mayor have tools to try and attack the problem,” said Kapszukiewicz. Besides Birmingham, other neighborhoods with blighted houses slated for demolition include the Junction neighborhood in central Toledo; in North Toledo, surrounding Central Catholic High School and the future St. Hedwig’s Senior Housing Project; and in the residential neighborhoods near Jermain and Ottawa Parks in West Toledo.

Blockwatch pushing for teen curfew Continued from front page to no good. It’s no different here than any other community in Ohio and elsewhere,” said Navarre. Negative image He was also concerned a curfew would keep people from wanting to move to Oregon. “It could very well affect someone’s decision to move to Oregon. When they start looking in the community and see it has a curfew ordinance, it could steer someone to another community. That’s something you have to consider,” said Navarre. The community might expect rigid enforcement of a curfew with “zero tolerance,” he added. Unfortunately, the times when those young people are out are also the times when our officers are busy. On most nights, we only have three officers working the night shift. We have 28 square miles. If I tie up a single officer on a curfew arrest, they’re not simple arrests. I wish they were,” said Navarre. “When you put your hands on a juvenile, the officer pretty much owns that juvenile until he can deliver them to a parent or guardian or to the Juvenile Justice Center downtown. They’re not really interested in putting curfew violators in their facility. They like to manage their caseloads. That’s another consideration. It’s a tool that can only be used at the officers’ discretion and we simply don’t have the resources. We don’t need the resources. It would be great to have 10 officers working every night of the week. It’s a huge cost in terms of personnel and your income taxes. We do quite well with the numbers that we have. We have 45 sworn officers. Our detectives do an unbelievable job in solving crime. In the four years I’ve been here, we haven’t had a single

were taken of each house. Notes were made about the condition of the house - maybe it needed a new roof, the foundation was crumbling, or it was boarded up and appeared to be vacant. Then it was given a letter grade. So for the first time in the history of Toledo, we have a sense of the quality of our housing stock. Most people would be pleased to know that over 80 percent of the houses in Toledo got a pretty good grade – an A or B. However, we found about 4,000 homes received a letter grade of D or F. And under our ranking system, a D or an F is a house that is too far gone to be saved. Those are the properties that we’re targeting for demolition.” East Toledo residents, he said, were “excellent in surveying their neighborhoods for us.” “We worked with them to target which homes needed to be demolished. We welcome all the feedback from the neighbors that we can get,” he said.

incident when someone was shot.” Petition He praised the block watch organization, calling it another tool for fighting crime. “You’re looking out for each other, showing concern. The fact you’re here tonight speaks volumes. I appreciate it. I don’t want to send the wrong message to you. I just want you to know that there are a lot of considerations you have to think about before we just go and pass a curfew.” Sandra Tarjanyi, a block watch member, said the crime rate doesn’t have to be high “to have a juvenile problem.” “That’s what the issue is,” she said. The block watch group gathered over 700 signatures on a petition in support of a curfew, she said. “A curfew will not eliminate all the juvenile crimes. That’s not the expectation of the Oregon block watch groups,” said

Tarjanyi. “The goal is to give the Oregon police a tool to deal with juvenile issues when they surface. A curfew will reduce the number of juveniles hanging out and walking the streets.” A man in the audience said police should exact a fine on parents of juveniles who are out in the middle of the night causing trouble. “Maybe that would help,” he said. City Administrator Mike Beazley said it wasn’t practical and was unenforceable. “All of us love that idea when we hear it. It’s very impractical and almost impossible for cities to end up holding parents responsible. We can’t get away with it, much as we wish we could. We can hold the kids responsible, but we can’t hold the parents. That’s the challenge,” said Beazley. Councilman Tim Zale, chairman of the Safety Committee, said the topic of a curfew would be discussed further at a meeting on Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. in Oregon council chambers.

Trustee-elect finds common issues in village By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com In the final days before the Nov. 3 election, Ken Gilsdorf found some of the issues he faced as a member of Walbridge Village Council would be confronting him as a newly-elected Lake Township trustee. Gilsdorf, who was the top vote-getter in a three-way race for a seat on the township board of trustees, said last week that many township residents he met while passing out campaign flyers told him they were concerned about the parking of recreational vehicles in residential neighborhoods. “The RV issue, parking. When I was going door-to-door I found people in the unincorporated area of the township were talking about that,” he said. Village council last month heard the first reading of an ordinance that places limits on RV parking at residences. In the township, the problem is more noticeable in the Moline area, Gilsdorf found as he campaigned. Blighted properties are also on residents’ minds, he said. The township is considering a policy to deal with complaints about nuisance properties that is similar to one in place in Allen Township. If a property is determined to be unsafe and structurally defective, a letter informs the owner of the township’s intent to raze the building. The owner is entitled to a hearing but must file a request for a hearing within 30 days of the day the notice was mailed. Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko recently sent a letter to the trustees asking them to consider declaring two properties on Drouillard Road as nuisances. The properties, located at 30854 and 30848 Drouillard Road, sit just outside the village limits but the mayor said village residents have ap-

proached him about the properties. To prepare for his work as a trustee, Gilsdorf has been reading sections of the Ohio Revised Code that pertain to townships. Two years remain on his council term and Gilsdorf said he plans to submit his resignation during village council’s first meeting in December. With two new members taking office in January, one of council’s first actions will be to name his replacement. Mayor Kolanko said council will have 30 days from the time Gilsdorf steps down to fill his seat. If the five councilmembers are unable to reach agreement, the decision will be made by the mayor. Tamra Williams, with 425 votes, and Ryan Weaver, 394 votes, won seats on vil-

lage council. Breanna Hernandez, 362 votes, was third, according to unofficial results. Council incumbents Loren LaRoe and Fred Sloyer didn’t seek another term. Kolanko said he and council will be focusing on a smooth transition in the purchase of property at 705 Main Street, the former site of Main Street United Brethren Church, which has been using the building primarily as office space and for events after moving to a new facility on State Route 795 in 2007. The administration plans to move village offices to the building. “The building itself is in really great condition,” he said. “There is not much that really needs to be done for us to move in.”

The communities of Elmore and Woodville will host the Seventh Annual Turkey Feast Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at Woodmore High School. There is no cost to attend the dinner, which is open to all area families and individuals. Last year, 450 guests attended and organizers are expecting to meet or exceed that number this year. The event is made possible through extensive community support from businesses, church and citizens. Woodmore Schools support this outreach effort by offering the use the building free of charge. Those attending are invited to bring canned goods and toys to be given to local food pantries and Toys for Tots.

Funding for ozone sought By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon is submitting an application to the Ohio EPA seeking a $16.2 million loan for ozone improvements to the water treatment plant. The Ohio EPA is making funds available through the Water Supply Revolving Loan Account to provide financial assistance to communities needing to make such improvements. The plant’s $17.6 million Harmful Algae Bloom Infrastructure Improvements Project will destroy microcystin – a toxin that was responsible for the three day tap water ban in Toledo last year. Oregon was unaffected by the toxin, but has nonetheless been upgrading its water treatment plant to improve water quality. The water source for Toledo’s and Oregon’s water treatment plants is Lake Erie’s Western Basin, which has been plagued by large blue green algal blooms for years. The raw water intake for each community is about a mile apart. In addition to destroying microcystin, Oregon’s water treatment improvements project will reduce disinfection byproducts, and improve water taste and odor. The project consists of adding ozone treatment to settled water at the plant and modifying the existing filters for biological active filtration (BAF). Ozone system equipment includes an ozone generator and power supply unit, liquid oxygen storage, vaporization, nitrogen boost, cooling water systems, an ozone destruct system, and ozone diffusion and contacting facilities. `Ozonated’ water will then flow to the existing gravity filters modified with new underdrains and granulated activated carbon media. Ozone is considered highly effective in removing toxins from the water. It breaks up contaminants into very small particles deemed too small for the city’s current fil-

tration system to properly remove. BAF, which goes hand in hand with ozone treatment, is the use of natural microorganisms that will remove the contaminants and further oxidize and remove material from the water. Ozone also reduces the use of chlorine and its byproduct, trihalomethane (THM), an environmental pollutant, in the treatment process. Chlorine is used to treat elevated levels of algae toxins, such as microcystin, in the drinking water. When chemical disinfectants such as chlorine react with organic material in the water, new compounds known as Disinfection Byproducts (DBP’s) are formed. Ingesting high levels of trihalomethane, a DBP, over time can cause liver, kidney, and central nervous system problems. It can also pose an increased risk of cancer. Last year, council approved a contract with ARCADIS, US Inc., for design engineering services for the project. “The city did receive special financing for this project,” Public Service Director Paul Roman said at a council meeting on Monday. The Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) is providing a $1.4 million grant, and the city is receiving a 0 percent interest loan through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. “The cost and the schedule are relatively conservative,” said Roman. He had hoped to have the project completed by the 2017 algae season, but instead it will be done by the end of 2017. “I know we all agree this is a very important project,” said Councilman Jerry Peach. “This represents the financing to make this project happen. This will help assure that the City of Oregon keeps ahead of the curve and maintains the safe drinking water that we have been providing to the community and assures that drinking water will continue to be not only safe to drink but the highest quality of any water system around.”

Appeals court Mayor-elect has plan for downtown buildings upholds theft conviction By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Sixth District Court of Appeals in Wood County has upheld the 2014 conviction of a man for a theft charge stemming from an incident at a hotel in Northwood. Nathaniel L. Lewis, Jr., had appealed a Wood County Common Pleas Court sentence of 11 months in prison after he pled guilty to a fifth degree felony theft charge. The original indictment included one count of felonious assault but was amended to the theft charge. In his appeal, Lewis argued the trial court failed to comply with statutory sentencing requirements – in particular the court improperly considered prior, unrelated dismissed charges in imposing the prison sentence. During the sentencing hearing, the court asked Lewis’ attorney if Lewis had been charged with assault four times. The attorney responded that he was unsure of how many charges but Lewis had never been convicted of assault. Court records show the judge said the attorney was “arguing semantics” and read records from Toledo Municipal Court indicating Lewis had been charged with assault three times but the charges were dismissed or amended and from a Lucas County Common Pleas Court case in which he was charged with domestic violence but it too was dismissed. The attorney argued such considerations were “legally irrelevant and could not be properly used at sentencing.” The (trial) court countered that in sentencing Lewis it considered the fact that he committed the offense while under community control sanctions and that he admitted to causing serious physical harm to someone during the events leading to the theft charge. “Although we disagree with the court’s statement that a charge versus a conviction is just ‘semantics,’ there was ample evidence in the record to support appellant’s sentence and, thus, the sentence was not contrary to law,” the appeals court wrote.

Joe Helle achieved his goal. After working to visit every house in the Village of Oak Harbor, Helle’s dedication paid off as he was elected mayor earlier this month “It was overwhelming to say the least. The state pushed back the release of results to after 9 p.m., which made the waiting even worse,” he said. “My wife, Andrea, and I stayed up until after 10 to see the results come over the screen, and I remember thanking her for all of her support through all of this. “It means absolutely everything to me (to be elected mayor). Knowing that the residents of Oak Harbor have placed their confidence in me for the next four years is very humbling and I can’t wait to get to work for them. They deserve it.” Helle owns and operates Oak ‘N Harbor Distillery in town. Being self-employed allows him some flexibility with his time. “I’ve got many things planned for this. First, I’ll be having a monthly ‘Mayor’s Night Out’ and a bi-weekly morning coffee meeting at different businesses in town for our residents to sit down with me in a neutral environment. I’ll hold a regularly scheduled town hall meeting in council’s chambers, as well as having an open-door policy with regular office hours,” Helle said. “I’ve also started working with the administrator to determine how to add an online suggestion/complaint page to the village website so that our residents have an online avenue for correspondence. And finally, I’d like to see us utilize our monthly utility bill as a way to communicate with people, as every home in the village receives one.” Helle hopes to make the transition as smooth as possible. “My first goal is to ensure a seamless transition between Mayor (William) Eb-

“

Joe Helle erle’s administration and mine,” he said. “From there, I want to continue my work with communicating and empowering our residents, as well as working on the upcoming budget and ensuring we bring funds back to our parks. “Over the long-term, I want to see some of our downtown buildings brought into zoning compliance, as well as introduce legislation to create some incentives for new businesses to open up shop here. If we can beautify some of these buildings and provide these incentives, we should be able to entice a few more businesses to fill our storefronts. This means more jobs, more visitors to our town, and an increased

tax base for our village.” Helle’s winning the election was something of a trend for challengers defeating incumbents in Ottawa County. In Port Clinton, Hugh Wheeler defeated Vince Leone by winning 66 percent of the vote while in Genoa, Ken Harsanje, Sr. narrowly defeated Mark Williams by just 46 votes out of 744 cast. Don Douglas was re-elected to Oak Harbor Village Council with 652 votes and Quinton Babcock, who received 430 votes, will replace Jim Seaman, who chose not to run for re-election. Also, Jon Fickert recently resigned his seat on the council, leaving an opening. “For many of our residents, my visiting their home was the first time any political candidate or member of our village leadership had ever knocked on their door. This resonated with me because the whole premise of our society is governance by a representative democracy,” Helle said. “How can we fairly and equally represent our residents if we don’t actively solicit their feedback and suggestions?”

Ottawa County to hold departmental budget hearings By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ottawa County commissioners will meet next week to hold departmental budget hearings for 2016. The commissioners have scheduled special sessions Nov. 16-23 at 8 a.m. to discuss department requests. In the county’s 2014 annual report, the commissioners stated the county was able to maintain existing services and a balanced financial position because elected

officials and employees focused on containing costs. A permanent increase of 0.25 percent in the sales tax that went into effect in July 2013 generated $1.6 million in 2014. The general fund ended 2014 with revenues exceeding expenses by $976,631. Without the sales tax the fund would have had a deficit of $633,623. Total revenues in 2014 reached $16.47 million while expenditures were $15.5 million. Revenue amounts in 2014 by their sources were:

• Base sales tax - $6.4 million • Additional sales tax - $1.6 million • Property taxes - $3.25 million • Casino revenue - $494,814 • Fees, licenses and fines - $2.1 million • Reimbursements - $1.5 million • Local government fund - $420,114 • Interest income - $369,233 • Other income - $226,127 Expenditures in 2014 were: • General government - $8.6 million • Police protection - $4.92 million • Social services - $844,910 • Transfers to reserves - $1.1 million

Takacs Grocery

Local store aiding charity, bringing venison to the hungry For Louis Takacs, owner of Takacs Grocery and Meats in East Toledo, becoming involved with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) six years ago was a no-brainer. “We are proud to be a part of the donation program,” Takacs said. “We know it is good for our community. People are getting fed. You just have a good feeling and you have a real feeling of accomplishment.” Established in 1997, FHFH enables hunters and farmers in states across the country to provide nutritious meat to feed the hungry of their communities. Farmers and hunters are invited to donate their deer, other big game or livestock to inspected, approved meat processors that participate with FHFH. The cost of processing, packaging and freezing the meat is covered by donations

“

We do not make money on it, but we know it is important to help our community.

“

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

from individuals, church organizations and businesses. The meat is then given to community agencies that help to feed the hungry. “When hunters bring their deer here it stays here in the area,” Takacs said. “The donations stay in this community. We work with Helping Hands of St. Louis.” Once a deer is signed over for donation, Takacs grinds the meat into ground

meat and then packages it for use. “The meat is ground so it can be spread further,” he said. “When we first started out with FHFH, we did maybe two or three deer. Now we process 25 to 30 deer. Very few places are involved with this, but it is a good program because it is helping to feed people. We do it at cost. We do not make money on it, but we know it is important to help our community. It is important for us to do the right thing for this area.” Takacs also processes venison for many hunters in the area for their own, personal use. The season is in full swing and lasts until early February. He processes about 800 deer per season, he said. Much of the meat is made into ground meats, steaks, roasts, summer sausage, Landjaegers, and jerky, he said. Unfortunately, for non-hunters, the venison is not available in the store. “It cannot be sold to the consumer because it is a wild, un-inspected animal,” he said. “You can order venison through some stores, but it will cost you around $40 per

pound.” Takacs does sell fresh Amish turkeys and Daisyfield hams for the holidays. “The Amish turkeys are great,” Takacs said. “They are fresh and they have not been injected with hormones or anything else.” The store also carries Hungarian sausage, snack sticks, jerky, imported Hungarian products and Hungarian baked goods for the holidays. Takacs said he is hoping to help more people with donated venison than he did last year. “The FHFH is a great program and we need to get the word out to more people,” he said. “The donation is also tax deductible. If there are hunters out there that have filled their freezers and still have tags, keep filling those tags and bring the deer in for donation. It is for a good cause and you will feel awesome doing it.” Takacs is located at 1956 Genesee St. For more information on the store and the FHFH program, call 419-693-9233.

Empty seats

Mayor-elect has plans, some villages have council seats to fill When he assumes the mayor’s post in the Village of Clay Center in January, Mark Franks plans to implement some changes in the village administration. One of his goals for 2016 is to reorganize the police department, Franks said. Before that, however, there are seats to fill on village council as no one filed to run in the election for either of two open seats. “In a small town like this, we only have about 250 residents, it’s hard to get people involved in local government,” said Franks. who served a term on village council before running unopposed for the mayor’s office. “We’ve had a hard time filling our zoning

commission also. We’re supposed to have five seated members. We only have three.” To attract more potential commission members, Franks and council may change the commission’s meeting time from Monday night to Saturday morning to accommodate those who’ve expressed interest in serving. To fill the vacant council seats, the village is asking qualified residents to submit letters of interest to the village administration building at 420 Main Street. Village council has 30 days to fill the seats. If councilmembers can’t reach agreement on the appointments, the mayor has the authority to name someone to the seats.

Washington’s latest deal little cause for celebration By Lee H. Hamilton You can understand why President Obama and congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle sought to cast their endof-October budget deal in the best possible light. They avoided a potentially catastrophic national default. They reduced the possibility of a government shutdown. And they raised the debt ceiling until March, 2017, taking that bargaining chip off the table until the next president is in the White House. For a last-minute, secret backroom deal, that’s not too shabby. It was bipartisan and took modest steps in the direction of political stability and fiscal responsibility. And it was vastly preferable to the alternative, which would likely have produced a government shutdown, the possibility of a default on the national debt, and certain fiscal chaos. That’s the good news. The bad news is that for all their hard work, our political leaders indulged in two bad habits that they really need to kick, because they wreak havoc with effective and efficient government and cost taxpayers a pile of money. First, while they gave themselves some breathing room before the next time the debt ceiling has to be raised, they will nonetheless have to raise the debt ceiling

Guest Editorial eventually. They should have abolished it, or at least suspended it. The debt limit was instituted during World War I, when Congress handed over to the Treasury the ability to sell bonds to fund government needs without getting permission every time. In essence, the debt ceiling was a way to keep tabs on the Treasury, while still allowing the government to pay its bills for spending that had already been approved. It has outlived that reasonable goal. These days, the debt ceiling is a political pawn, used repeatedly as leverage by opposition parties to make demands of the President. It has driven the persistent national game of “chicken” that has so tarnished Congress’s image in recent decades. Most political leaders recognize that defaulting on the national debt — which is what failing to raise the debt ceiling would cause — is an inconceivable outcome for a responsible nation. By destroying our cred-

itworthiness, it would devastate consumers, taxpayers, businesses, retirees who invested in government bonds, the financial markets, and our ability to conduct normal relations with trading partners and foreign governments. Moreover, the legislative maneuvering surrounding each debt ceiling bill consumes huge amounts of legislative time that is better spent on other matters. The need to raise the debt ceiling, in other words, no longer reins in spending. Instead, it manufactures crises and exacerbates tensions within Congress. The second bad habit is equally pernicious: the budget deal did little to shift Congress from its reliance on continuing resolutions. The CR, as it’s known, was designed to keep government operating for a few days or weeks while congressional negotiators worked out the budget. In recent decades, though, it has become the way we fund the government. It’s hard to find a member of Congress who defends this process, but most of them end up voting for it. Continuing resolutions bypass the appropriations bills written by specialized committees and provide a favored few interests a bonanza. They also keep the federal government — and hence state and local agencies that rely on federal commitments — in “handcuffs,” as a recent article in Politico put it. “Under the continuing reso-

lution,” the website noted after the most recent CR passed at the end of September, “multi-year projects...faced new delays. Hiring departments closed. Budget officials began to tally losses as their typically powerful purchasing power dwindled. For pretty much the rest of this year, and perhaps 2016, too, the U.S. government will effectively be in a state of suspended animation.” The CR puts the government on automatic pilot, avoids hundreds of difficult funding and policy decisions, and has become a substitute for working hard to pass a budget by the regular process. It lacks transparency, sidesteps good budgeting, puts all the power in the hands of a few congressional leaders, and invites Congress to act in a crisis mode. Do you want the Congress to work better? If so, ask your favorite member to think big and not lock into a failing system. A good start would be to kick these two bad habits.

Life’s problems just may be opportunities in disguise No one wants problems. Problems have a negative connotation. Yet problems are a normal part of life. Success requires effectively dealing with them. Rather than avoiding problems and fearing them, expect them, and appreciate the opportunity they provide. Problems are an opportunity to get better at finding solutions. Just as your physical condition improves by challenging your muscles, the more problems you solve, the better you become at dealing with adversity. This process enhances your coping skills as well. Utilizing a successful strategy to handle problems enables you to maximize the benefits you attain. Knowing how to solve problems is an invaluable skill which will serve you for a lifetime. The process starts by recognizing problems, along with accurately determining their exact cause. Focusing on issues that have nothing to do with a problem is pointless. For example, if your car has a flat tire, changing the oil won’t get you moving again. Some problems you cause while others find you. Understanding the source of a problem is the basis for an effective strategy for dealing with it. You must take responsibility for any problems you create. When you are the cause, you are also the solution. When you are the cause, placing blame on other people or circumstances prevents you from finding a solution. For those problems truly caused by other people or circumstances, the response is up to you. The goal is to make things better, not worse. Regardless of what you are facing, how you behave is your choice. You need accurate information about each problem. You want facts, not opinions, rumors, or hearsay. Decisions based on misinformation wind up exacerbating a

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden situation. Do your homework. Don’t guess, speculate, or assume. Now you are ready to identify all possible solutions. At this stage, don’t eliminate solutions you feel are unrealistic or impossible. The longer your list, the better the chances of finding the best option for proceeding. Research all possible solutions to determine if they have been used by other people facing similar problems. Study the successes and failures of those who have been in your position. Seek advice from others who have found workable solutions. The next step is to prioritize the solutions. Which ones offer a desirable outcome? Which solutions have the highest chances of succeeding? For each solution, determine the steps needed for implementation. Now you are ready to pick a solution which you feel best meets all of your objectives. Don’t waste time worrying. Action solves problems, not stressing about them. Spend your time figuring out what you need to do, and then do it. If your approach doesn’t work as planned, make changes as you move forward. Today and the future are what matter. Don’t waste any energy lamenting the past or feeling sorry for yourself. Learn from any mistakes you have made. The past only repeats itself when you engage in the same behaviors which led to the problems. Instead, do more of what has pro-

duced favorable results. Your confidence grows with each problem solved. You will feel great taking control of your life. You are not a victim and should not act as one. Not every solution will be perfect, and it does not have to be. What matters is being proactive rather than passive. Becoming more adept at solving problems opens additional doors of opportunity. Welcome each problem as a chance to become stronger. This approach replaces

Correction In a story that ran the October 26 issue of The Press, the quote “We must never forget that this was an event that really shook the core of our region. We need to protect life in every way we can. Even though we are at the bottom (of the Maumee River watershed), we are the ones who have to deal with the situation,” was mistakenly attributed to Dr. Thomas Bridgeman, associate professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Toledo. In addition, $2 million in additional funding is going to universities throughout the state of Ohio that are working on harmful algal bloom problems, not just UT. The Press regrets these errors.

The story behind the cannon speaks about the best of mankind The story behind the artifact riveted the attention of the nearly 100 veterans and community leaders who attended last week’s rededication of that artifact, a World War I cannon, by the Oregon Jerusalem Historical Society. I wrote about the cannon last week, but Bonnie Olson, a trustee for the historical society, told us the rest of the story. She told us why the cannon was presented to Brand Whitlock, a former mayor of Toledo and ambassador to Belgium. But, before I tell you Whitlock’s story, here’s a short recap of the cannon’s history: The historical society acquired the cannon in 1989 along with the famous Gilbert Gaul painting Battery H 1st Ohio Volunteers Light Artillery in Action at Cold Harbor and other military artifacts once the property of the Toledo Soldiers Memorial Association, an organization founded in 1879. The organization built The Toledo Soldiers Memorial Building in 1884 on the corner of Adams and Ontario streets as a repository for artifacts to memorialize the area’s Civil War veterans. The association’s bylaws called for the artifacts to be displayed in Lucas County, however, when the building was demolished, many of the guns, rifles, ceremonial swords and uniforms were stored in a basement at the Toledo Zoo. Some of the more valuable artifacts were stolen or lost, but in 1989 a court order ceded the remaining artifacts to the OJHS, which has a suit-

by John Szozda able site to display them — the museum at Brandville School. The cannon had been in storage until recently when a trustee located cannon master Bob Gillmor and the Oregon City Council allocated funds for restoration. Gillmor has provided cannons for many movies including Russell Crowe’s Master and Commander. The 75 millimeter cannon was manufactured in France for the Russian Army. It was used by the Russians against the Germans, captured by the Germans and used against the Belgians and captured by the Belgians, who held the cannon at war’s end. Now, for the rest of the story, as related by Bonnie Olson: Brand Whitlock was born in Urbana, Ohio. He landed a job as a reporter for the Toledo Blade and soon moved on to the Chicago Herald. While covering government, he developed an interest in law and politics and eventually was appointed to the bar in both Illinois and Ohio. When he returned to Toledo he successfully ran for mayor and served four terms from 1906 to

Toledo. In 1919, King Albert and the Royal family toured the United States, stopping in Toledo to give a speech at the Toledo Museum of Art. Brand Whitlock was there and it is on this trip, it is believed, that Whitlock received the cannon as a gift from King Albert. It is not the only thank you gift, Whitlock received. A road in Brussels was named Boulevard Brand Whitlock. It is appropriate that the cannon was dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, also known as Armistice Day, the day in 1918 when the treaty to end all wars was signed. The ceremony was dignified and started with the presentation of colors by the Christ Dunberger American Legion Post Color Guard and the Vietnam Veterans of America Color Guard while the Black Swamp Pipes and Drums played America the Beautiful. State Representative Mike Sheehy presented a resolution from the state house and U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur was among those who cut the ribbon. Oregon council members were also in attendance. The cannon is a tool of war that reminds us of the sacrifice our veterans have made to defend our freedom and protect our allies from our enemies. But, it is the story behind the cannon that exemplifies the best in mankind Comment by email to zoz@presspublications.com

1913, attracting the attention of President Woodrow Wilson. Wilson appointed him minister to Belgium. Whitlock was looking forward to serving his country and restarting his writing career. However, on August 2, 1914 Germany invaded neutral Belgium on its way to France and Whitlock was forced to adjust his priorities. Olson said the Germans executed 5,500 Belgians and requisitioned all grain, flour, livestock, fruits and vegetables to feed their troops. More than two million refugees fled to Holland, France and Britain. The remaining five million Belgians faced starvation as the Germans had seized the railroads and blockaded the ports. Whitlock, along with other diplomats and businessman Herbert Hoover, who later was elected the 31st President, formed the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB), the world’s first humanitarian effort on a large-scale international relief basis. When the operation ended, the CRB had shipped 5.2 million tons of food and clothing to Belgium and Northern France valued at that time at $806 million ($17.5 billion today). Olson said, “Whitlock was the second most popular man in Belgium, behind King Albert.” When the war ended and King Albert returned to his country he was greeted by a battalion of soldiers from the 57th Ohio Division. Many of these men were from

Holiday gift-giving ideas across the generations By Robin Small Marketing Director Otterbein Portage Valley With the holidays upon us, it is the time of year when giving gifts to others is a way to show our love and friendship. As we all know, there are limitless amounts of merchandise and services, at all price levels, that are sure to entice buyers to make a purchase. How do you choose? What can a grandparent give that has lasting meaning and won’t be quickly discarded and forgotten by the new year? And for families, what gift will delight a grandparent – many of whom aren’t particularly interested in the newest and greatest electronic or gadget?! A little creative thinking “outside the gift box” can provide some answers. By December it’s time to take action and decide what to give, but during the next year try taking some time to listen and observe what your loved one enjoys, uses or mentions that might be a clue to how you might gift them. Here’s an example: a daughter noticed that her mother loved watching a certain local news station every evening at 5 p.m. Her mother comments on the beautiful clothing the female commentator wears and how the weather man is so funny and even makes rainy days seem like fun. The daughter decided to take her mother to a live appearance by the news team at a holiday food drive. Her mother got to meet all of her favorite celebrities. She told her daughter that it was one of the most thrilling gifts she had ever experienced. For grandparents, there are a number of ways to give a gift that becomes a legacy. A legacy does not have to be monetary, but it is anything meaningful that lasts long into the future. One idea is to complete a book that is designed for grandparents to share their life stories. Visit a local book store and you will find a variety of formats. You will be sure to find one that seems doable. Most of them contain questions about life that will get you thinking and writing. You can also ask someone to help you do a video life story. Make an outline. Keep it simple. Start the camera, then talk and smile. Grandparents who would like to make

How do you choose? A little observation and a little thinking outside the box can help gift-givers come up with a personal and thoughtful gift for seniors and everyone else on their holiday gift lists too. (Photo courtesy of Metro Creative Graphics) a financial gift may want to look into a 529 plan, an education savings plan oper-

ated by a state or educational institution designed to help families set aside funds

for future college costs. It is named after Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code which created these types of savings plans in 1996. Section 529 includes a special exemption to the gift tax for the purpose of contributing to a 529 plan. Five years of the gift tax exemption may be contributed at once if paid directly into a 529 plan. That means that each grandparent could contribute a one-time gift of $70,000. Today, more than 17 percent of college students rely on families for help with college. Whether the gift is large or small, over time it becomes a legacy of learning and success for the grandchildren. Consult your financial planner about this type of gift as well as others. One additional idea is to give the gift of time. Grandparents have a wealth of knowledge and life lessons. Schedule a series of ongoing “dates” with your grandchildren. Pass on your love of fishing, a secret recipe or educate them on who’s who in the family tree. Golden memories shared will be a lasting legacy. Families? What do you get for grandpa or grandma? Again, notice the things that they like to do. Many retirees love to eat out. Gift certificates to restaurants will delight and encourage eating with others. Research shows that folks who eat with others eat more and eat healthier. Also, look for practical gifts that you can give. Many grandparents are downsizing and they don’t need more knickknacks and collectables. You might see a need for a new coffeemaker, new towels, new floor mats for the car, or a coupon book of car wash tickets. Taking grandma and grandpa on a short weekend trip is a great idea for family togetherness and discovery. Giving gifts is one way that we show that we love one another. It doesn’t cost a lot of money when you do a little thinking and research. Need more ideas? There’s no place like Pinterest for creative ideas. Just search “Gifts for ………” and you’ll get lots of super ideas that will make this holiday one to remember.

The exhibition is being shown exclusively at TMA, where it will be on view through Jan. 10, 2016. Admission is free. Degas was a frequent visitor and visible presence at the Paris Opéra – its rehearsal rooms, backstage spaces and auditorium – and his distinctive cropping and unflinching, unglamorous representations of ballerinas at work helped to cement his reputation as an artist. “Degas and the Dance” contains six superb sculptures by the artist, including the Clark’s widely admired “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen.” Originally modeled in wax in

The lasting appeal and impact of ballet and a great Impressionist artist are celebrated in “Degas and the Dance,” which opened recently at the Toledo Museum of Art. In 1928, the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) made its first acquisition with endowed funds from its founder, Edward Drummond Libbey. It was a vibrant pastel of ballerinas by French Impressionist artist Edgar Degas (1834-1917). Thirteen years later, the Museum hosted the Toledo Ballet’s presentation of the first excerpts of the “Nutcracker” by an American dance company in the United States. This year, the Toledo Ballet marks the 75th anniversary of having the oldest continuously running annual “Nutcracker” in the country. These historical events inspired the Museum to organize the exhibition, which features iconic works by

Thank You !

A dozen ways

Better care for dementia By Tara O’Rourke Dear Family Caregiver, First, let me start by saying “Thank You” for accepting an often thankless job. Whether you willingly took on the role of caregiver or were reluctantly left with no choice, you have taken on a great responsibility. Caring for anyone comes with its challenges and rewards. Caring for someone with memory loss can multiply both. As the granddaughter of two grandparents with memory loss and a professional dementia educator, please allow me to share some advice from both sides of the situation in hopes of promoting harmony for the caregiver and the care-receiver. 1. Enter their world. People with memory loss often do not live in our reality. Many individuals with dementia experience a retrogenesis where they regress back in time to memories of their earlier life. As short-term memories fail, long-term memories are often recalled quite strongly. As opposed to trying to orient someone with memory loss to our current day reality, it is generally more helpful to enter their reality. While this is easier for some caregivers than others, look at it as an opportunity to learn about your loved one’s past and prompt them to remember fond memories of earlier times. 2. Know they are not faking it. Unlike a broken leg or a hearing aid, you cannot see memory loss. Even though your loved one may act in a manipulative manner at times, they are not faking it. There is a disease process that is eroding their brain and their ability to think, reason and act. They cannot help it, so give them the benefit of the doubt and provide them with the help they need.

“

Caring for anyone comes with its challenges and rewards. Caring for someone with memory loss can multiply both.

“

3. Listen and act with your heart. As a person progresses in their memory loss, they rely less on what we are saying as a communication tool, and more on how we are communicating. Nonverbal communication signals, such as our posture, body language, tone of voice, proximity, cadence of speech, etc. all speak more to our loved one with dementia than our actual words. In addition to this, we need to be mindful of our frame of mind and how it impacts our nonverbal communication when interacting with our care-receiver. For instance, being in a rush increases our anxiety, which can inadvertently be communicated nonverbally to our loved one, and will often backfire to create added stress to get out the door on time. Try taking some deep breaths to relax a bit before approaching your loved one calmly and pleasantly to set up a more positive care relationship. 4. The roles, they are a-changing. Perhaps your mother used to be your sage adviser; your father your rock of strength. As memory loss robs your mother of her wisdom or your father of his strength, all parties must find their new roles and a new normal. 5. Mourn the loss. All of this change can be hard and with an often demanding role as a caregiver, you may be too busy to dwell on changing relationship dynamics, or perhaps too emotional. Allowing yourself moments to feel sadness and mourn the loss of your loved one as you knew them can go a long way toward enabling you to make peace with the current situation and allow you to continue as their caregiver.

6. Be open to new relationship dynamics. All too often, your loved one with dementia may become confused as to who you are or to your relationship. Perhaps as an adult son who looks like his father, your mother with memory loss views you as her (former) spouse. Or maybe your father has an emotional memory of attachment to you in your nurturing state as his caregiver and believes you to be his mother. It is not always necessary to argue or correct them. Perhaps this new dynamic gives them comfort and makes your role as caregiver easier. Understand where it comes from and that each day you might have to be flexible in the role you play. This might even create an opportunity to deepen your relationship in a meaningful way. 7. Honor their former wishes. Sometimes it is necessary to make difficult decisions as a caregiver. Perhaps you are fortunate and your loved one prepared legal documents in advance specifying their wishes, such as who is authorized to make decisions on their behalf when they are no longer able, or how they feel about artificial nutrition or hydration, or end-of-life issues. Unfortunately not all families have made these decisions ahead of time or prepared the necessary documents to implement them. In the absence of such paperwork, let your loved one’s personal, cultural and religious preferences be your guiding light. What would they want done if they were capable of making such decisions? 8. What works today may not work tomorrow. The progressive decline of most dementing illnesses is like going down a set of stairs. Over time, a person may take a step down and lose some of their former abilities or require more help. In addition, people with memory loss experience good days where there is clarity and a seeming improvement, and bad days where things just don’t click. All of this can add up to a frustrating experience for both the caregiver and care-receiver. When you find a system that works, use it every day that you can, but realize that it may not work every day and sometimes adaptation will be necessary. Expecting this hazard can lessen the frustration somewhat and prevent the caregiver from placing blame on their loved one with memory loss. 9. Don’t do for them what they can do themselves. “Use it or lose it” is a prevalent issue in caring for someone with memory loss. Doing for someone what they are capable of doing themselves creates learned helplessness and, essentially, promotes a faster loss of ability. Enable the care-receiver to continue to do for themselves what they are capable of, even though it might take a bit longer or be a bit messier. In the long run, it promotes continued independence and dignity. Set them up with the tools they need for success, provide verbal and visual cues and praise their efforts. 10. Just go with it. Rule #1 in dementia care: You will not win an argument with someone with memory loss. You may have to adapt, be flexible, play a role, get creative, go back in time, commit to being wrong, or whatever else is required at any given time. Be willing to bend so you don’t break. 11. Seek support. Being a caregiver is hard and it can be draining of your energy. Call in support and utilize resources to replenish your energy reserves. Perhaps that means calling a sibling to take a shift, hiring professional caregivers to help with certain tasks or considering a respite break. Maybe you need to recharge your battery through a support group, online support community, spiritual guidance, meditation, or time away to pursue a favorite hobby. Take the time you need to care for yourself. Both you and your loved one(s) depend on it! 12. Give yourself a break. And credit! Your loved one may not be able to express their gratitude to you in their current state, but deep down you know their former self would have appreciated your generous task of caregiving. Relish the occasional moments of gratitude that your loved one may show you and hold the relationship, both in its current and former dynamic, dear. When your loved one is no longer in your care, you will be grateful that you were able to spend this time together. Tara O’Rourke is administrator of ProMedica Goerlich Center for Dementia Care.

2015 CITY OF OREGON LEAF COLLECTION RULES AND SCHEDULE Leaf Collection Rules We ask residents to please follow these rules when raking leaves:

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. 4 or 5 Nov. 23 or 24. 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. 26 Nov. 6 or Nov. 9 Nov. 25 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 Nov 30 or Dec 1. 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. 16 or 17 Dec. 2 or 3.

Cardinal Stritch

Senior stepping up for cancer patients Lizzie Smith, a senior at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School, knows what it is like to see a loved one suffer through cancer treatment. Her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when Lizzie was just 12 years old. She also knows how lonely one can feel as they go through the treatment process. That’s why she decided to step-up and help others who were going through the same painful process. On Sept. 12, Smith held a day-long Cancer Patient Retreat. Throughout the day, patients were able to make blankets, go on a nature walk, or participate in a number of other activities. There were also speakers who came in and talked to families, including a nutritionist and yoga instructor. In all, 25 patients attended the event with family members. There were also a number of volunteers who donated their time, include the Ohio Northern softball team. “After going through the cancer journey with my mom I decided I wanted to help others going through the same process,” said Smith.

How it began Five years ago, when Smith was just 12 years old, her mother, Amy, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was a rough journey for Amy, but it was also difficult for Lizzie. She felt like there was no one out there for her to talk to. “I kind of felt like I couldn’t talk to my friends because we were only 12, and adults were more geared toward talking to my mother, so I felt like it wasn’t an option for me to talk to them,” said Smith. After standing by her mother for a year, Smith decided to get involved with Cancer Connection of Northwest Ohio. She started the junior board, and made it her first responsibility to contact cancer patients and let them know that she was there to listen to them and their children. It was a great first step, but she quickly realized she wanted to do more to help. So she became the chairperson for a bowling event. Despite being just 13 at the time, Smith didn’t let her age hold her back. She contacted local establishments and individuals to donate items to be raffled off to raise funds for the patients. She also wanted the patients and their families to have an enjoyable time – something that can be hard

to come by when you’re going through cancer. “I wanted to bring together the kids I had been talking to for a fun event,” said Smith. “They already had enough going on in their life that made them sad, so I wanted to give them something to enjoy.” What’s next? While she has taken the reigns for planning the annual bowling event and has started a retreat for patients, Smith has no plans of slowing down. Next, Smith would like to chair the annual 5K race that Cancer Connection hosts. In addition, she would like to begin another event in the summer. This way, there is an event during every season of the year. And her overall goal is a simple one: to have a positive impact on people’s live. “Every person is some way, somehow affected by cancer. I feel like some people don’t want to talk about it, they just bottle it in. To me, it was the worst feeling in the world,” said Smith. “I want other people to know that it is okay to talk about it and open up about it.” (Story courtesy St. Kateri Schools)

Reese barn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; connecting with agricultural heritage Fresh Country Air

By Matt Reese Ohio Country Journal mreese@ocj.com Including my children, five generations of the Reese family have worked and played in the old barn on my parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is a lot of pitch forking and hay fort building. When faced with a decision about the future of this incredible, historic structure, my parents made the decision in 2010 to hire a gifted Amish crew to give it a major makeover for future generations of Reeses to continue to work and play beneath the ancient rafters of this grand old barn. Based on the saw marks on the beams, the style and the roofing material, it has been estimated that the barn was built between 1870 and 1880. Think about how Ohio agriculture has changed since then! My parents are the third generation of the Reese family to own the farm. My greatgrandfather, Pearl Jay Reese, and his wife, Jessie Mae, purchased the farm in 1918. Here is more about the barn from the Hancock Historical Society. For three generations, the 1,200 square foot barn housed a dairy operation. The barn is a typical, three-bay, English ground barn, and the size and design are reminiscent of a New England style. While some of the material is hand hewn, the smaller braces (scantlings) are circular sawn. The barn builders probably made use of some of the last old-growth material available in the area that could span the whole length of the barn as one piece of lumber. Both the plates and purlins are one piece (â&#x20AC;&#x153;one stickâ&#x20AC;?). The orientation of the bracing in the barn is unique. The whitewash on the walls from the old milking parlor on the east side of the barn is still visible, and there is evidence that the milking parlor replaced an earlier grainery. The Reese barn is one of seven that was featured on the third annual Hancock Historical Museum Historic Barn Tour on Sept. 12. The tours have proven to be a great way for non-farmers to connect with agriculture, but also a great way for modern farmers to re-connect with their agricul-

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour featured the oldest set of barns overall, though the area may have actually been settled later than parts of the county on previous tours. In several cases, the younger barns from earlier tours were the second barns built on the farms. Retired Hancock County Extension educator Gary Wilson was instrumental in getting the tour started and was surprised about how much he has learned about his community and heritage in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a look at the farm heritage here. I have learned a lot about these barns. I discovered I have one 8-inch by 8-inch beam in my barn that is 70 feet long. A neighbor has one that is 80 feet long,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hancock Historical Museum has professionals on staff who know how to look into the records and property deeds and each barn owner on the tour gets

a rundown of the history of their barns. Those things are really interesting. Many of these farm families go back several generations and these tours bring back family to see the barns. It is like a family reunion.â&#x20AC;? Wilson has learned much about his own family history in recent years, in part through the barn tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have my great grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm records from 1895 to 1928 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if they bought a pair of boots they wrote it down. They fit everything they bought for a year on a half piece of paper. They bought hardly anything,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some years they grossed less than $400, but yet they built a house and a barn. I have the bill of sale for when they built the barn in 1905 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it cost $1,465. That was the only year they had more expenses than they had income .â&#x20AC;? Because of the value of the tour for local farming, the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural commu-

nity has been very supportive of the tour in terms of sponsorships. Sponsors for the event include the Hancock County Farm Bureau, Ag Credit, Findlay Implement, Legacy Cooperative, Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc., and Archbold Equipment Co. Other sponsors are Citizens National Bank, Reineke Family Dealerships, and Findlay-Hancock County Convention & Visitors Bureau. Ultimately, the inherent appeal of the barns attracts the initial attention for tour goers, but it is what can be learned about the people who built the amazing structures and their descendants that really resonates with those on the tour. Those dynamic craftsmen from yesteryear left their legacy in the timbers and the ingenuity that has defied the elements and laws of nature for generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody can trace themselves back to the farm. When you go back, that barn was the centerpiece of the farm. It was the first place you went and the last place you left every day. Those days have changed, but many people are still using them on the farm and some people have kept them up,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They built things to last back then and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use nails and screws and bolts. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have engineers with graduate degree or blueprints. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have rulers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just something similar to a framing square. They cut out sticks of certain lengths for measuring. It was just common sense based on knowledge that had been passed down from their fathers. It is fascinating to think about how these barns were built.â&#x20AC;? Some say those were the good old days, though a look at the harsh realities that had to be endured back then may encourage you to think otherwise.

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Secret Prayer When Jesus advised his disciples to pray in the confines and secrecy of their rooms, He was giving this advice as part of a broader criticism of public displays of piety. The first verse of the sixth chapter of Matthew tells us to “Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 6.1) We probably cannot rid ourselves of all public displays of religion, unless we were to stop going to church and refrained from praying with others altogether. And, it is not the public nature of prayer that Jesus is railing against here so much as it is the puffed up, hypocritical, almost boasting attitude of the person who prays to make a show of it. In the Bible, Jesus

Oregon

frequently criticizes those, like the Pharisees, who make a pretentious show of their faith. In those days, this was likely to mean praying loudly in the synagogues, advertising one’s charity, or wearing broad phylacteries boxes (strapped around one’s head or arm and containing quotes from scripture). Even today, one does not have to look hard to find the modern counterpart to these actions. Are there aspects of our faith which are intended for others to see? If so, we have our reward already. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. R.S.V. Matthew 6.3-4
