Ag land

Bills will add changes to tax formula Bills introduced recently in the state legislature would further amend Ohio’s method of taxing agricultural land. The bills’ sponsors, Rep. Brian Hill, (R-Zanesville) and Sen. Cliff Hite, (R-Findlay), say additional changes are needed in the Current Agricultural Use Value program that allows eligible farmland to be taxed at its agricultural value instead of its market value. The formula in recent years has drawn more scrutiny from affected landowners who’ve been questioning it when their CAUV taxes rose dramatically – more than doubling in some cases. Sen. Bill 246, according to Sen. Hite, would prohibit certain inflation-related factors from being used in the formula and would remove disincentives to engage in some conservation practices. Land set aside for soil preservation, water quality protection and other environmental management practices would not be assessed as though producing crops. Jack Fisher, executive vice president of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, said both bills follow OFBF suggestions. He said the current formula assumes land is held for five years but farmland is typically

owned for decades. What’s more, the formula inflates farmland by assuming land appreciates – and property owners realize equity build-up – at predetermined rates. In both bills, the equity and appreciation factors would be eliminated. “These factors arbitrarily inflate the value of farmland based on market considerations and do not in any way account for how much income is achieved,” Hite said in a prepared statement. Also, land used for conservation or enrolled in a federal land retirement or environmental program for at least three years would be valued at the lowest amount assigned to its soil type. The Farm Bureau contends taxing conservation land at the CAUV minimum

value is appropriate because conservation acreage isn’t in production, Fisher said. For many area growers higher property taxes are hitting them at a time when grain prices have been falling. “I understand why the government is doing this, they just want a piece of the pie. Farmland that used to be $3,000 or $4,000 an acre is now valued at $8,000 to $10,000,” says Jim Swartz, grain manager of Luckey Farmers, Inc. “But the timing is really bad. Now we have lower crop prices.” In 2012, the average price for corn at Luckey Farmers was $6.92 a bushel. Soybeans averaged $13.28 and wheat $7.36. This year, corn is averaging $3.68 a bushel while wheat is at $5.10 and soybeans $9.31. Daily crop budget reports prepared by Luckey Farmers aren’t painting a rosy scenario for 2016 either. The report issued Nov. 24 projects growers will need corn to be $3.70 a bushel just to break even. Soybeans and wheat will need to be $9.14 and $5.90 respectively. The projection assumes land rent costs at $175 an acre and input costs totaling $646.65 an acre for corn, $457 for soybeans and $442.55 for wheat. Richard Welling, a Lake Township

The Oregon Police Division, in conjunction with the Lucas County OVI Taskforce, conducted a sobriety check in the 2800 block of State Route 2 (Navarre Ave.) on Saturday from 8:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. During the checkpoint, which was located near Kmart, 1,026 vehicles passed through the check point zones, and 1,022 were checked by officers, according to Oregon Sgt. Ed Depinet, who led the detail. Forty-seven were diverted for further inspection. Of these, one driver was arrested for OVI, and 11 drivers were cited for either having no license or a suspended license. In addition, six other citations were issued, eight arrests were made for warrants and one arrest for a drug (marijuana) violation. Some of the citations included having expired license plates and tinted windows. Among the eight warrants was a woman who had failed to appear in a previous court case in Wood County, said Depinet. “There was a warrant from the Wood County sheriff for failure to appear. She drove into the checkpoint and right into Kmart’s parking lot trying to get away. She actually got to spend the weekend in the Wood County jail,” said Depinet. The city conducts up to two sobriety checkpoints per year, he said. “I try to run two – one in the summer and one in the fall or early winter,” he said. “The OVI Taskforce in Lucas County was scheduled to do 30 in Lucas County. The county gets a grant every year for the OVI Taskforce. That money goes for sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols during the major holiday periods to try to limit the number of people who are intoxicated and driving,” he said. Advance notice Depinet said he is required to issue three press releases before the sobriety checks to give advance notice. Continued on page 2

Tax formula

Sobriety checkpoint

Continued from front page

trustee who farms about 80 acres, said his agricultural property taxes are increasing this year by more than 80 percent to about $8,000 a year. “I’ve been farming for about 50 years and this is one of the worst years I’ve seen,” he said, noting low crop prices and poor yields due to flooding conditions in June compounded the problem. “Our corn yields are normally about 220 bushels an acre. This year they were 91 an acre.” One small consolation for Welling; the taxes dropped slightly on his residence, which isn’t included in the CAUV formula. A landowner in Woodville Township told The Press he pays about $70 an acre in property taxes but expects it to double when new valuations take effect next year in Sandusky County. He rents about 60 acres to a grower. If the taxes were to double, it would nearly equal what he receives in rent payments. The Farm Bureau was successful in getting the Ohio Department of Taxation to enact other recommendations that will be in effect on 2016 property tax bills in counties going through reassessment this year, including changes in the formula to more closely link tax values to present economic conditions and reflect more recent data on crop mixes, prices, yields and production costs. Locally, Sandusky County underwent a sexennial reappraisal of property valuations this year and Lucas and Ottawa counties underwent triennial updates. Wood County underwent an update in 2014.

“I issue one 7 days before, one the day before, and on the day of the checkpoint, I release the actual location ahead of time,” he said. He also sets up sign boards along the road just before a checkpoint. “I have one that says `OVI checkpoint ahead,’ then it’s lit up like Christmas, so there’s no mistaking what people are driving into,” he said. Some motorists try to avoid the checkpoint, he added. “People do try to get away. Based on a ruling by the Supreme Court, there has to be an `out.’ So if anyone doesn’t want to drive into my checkpoint, there is a road they can turn down after they are notified that the checkpoint is ahead. Unless they commit a traffic violation somewhere along the way, they cannot be stopped. However, once they are in the checkpoint and have passed the first cone, they are committed and they have to go through it. At that point, they cannot try and get out,” he said. How is the location of a checkpoint site determined? “The location of a checkpoint has to be related to where there is a high rate of OVI arrests and crashes. We can’t just randomly pick a location. It has to be based on statistics,” he said. Depinet said he usually schedules sobriety checkpoints on Fridays or Saturdays. The county runs them throughout the week. The goal of the project is to remove impaired drivers from the road along with raising the awareness of the public to the continued problem of impaired drivers. Those who intend on consuming alcohol should plan to have a designated driver to make other arrangements, he said. Oregon police were assisted by members of the Lucas County OVI Taskforce and the Ohio State Patrol. The check point zone was set up by the Ohio Department of Transportation. The sobriety checkpoint was funded by a grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety.

28 years on council

Oregon thanks Peach for years of service By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon mayor, city administrator and members of city council bid a fond farewell to veteran Councilman Jerry Peach, whose last day on council was Monday. Peach, who served 14 terms, was defeated for re-election on Nov. 4. “Jerry, I’ve tried to think of something witty, something funny, but the best thing I can say to you is `Thank you’ for everything you’ve done for our community,” said Council President Dennis Walendzak. “You’ve given a lot of time, a lot of thought. You’ve probably done it better than anyone sitting at this table.” Mayor Mike Seferian, who served several years on council before being elected mayor in 2009, recalled the years he served alongside Peach, 67. Peach was first elected in 1987, Seferian in 1989. “I’m going back a few years,” recalled Seferian, 57. “The first George Bush was president. Of course, I was the rookie councilman. And I think Jerry got here a long time before – when Teddy Roosevelt was president,” cracked Seferian. “I would get on the council floor and say some really wild things, and after the meeting, Jerry would come up to me and say `You can’t say that.’ Jerry brought me along. I hope he picked up some things from me during that time. I think we all learned a lot from Jerry in his approach. I know I did.” Seferian then made light of the former teacher’s well known practice of choosing his words carefully and using proper syntax when commenting on council. “Some would have become bitter or `lachrymose’ (tearful) after losing an election,” said Seferian. “But he has handled it with `equanimity’ (composure). You might even say he’s been `jocund’ (cheerful) while his friends have been more `lugubrious’ (sad) since the last election,” joked Seferian. “What I think I’ll miss most is helping Jerry with his grammar, syntax or vocabulary. I know, though, that somehow he’ll carry on and his ‘effervescent’ (enthusiastic) personality will shine through. Sometimes he would be perturbed by my tendency to use `sesquipe-

dalian’ (long-winded) words, but he would never embarrass me on the council floor, and I appreciated that. But if there’s any way I can help you so you can produce good sentences, just call me.” “You’ll be my first call,” Peach retorted. It was also the last meeting of Councilman Joshua Hughes, who served one term on council before being defeated in the general election in November.

“I want to thank Josh for the friendship we developed over the last couple of years,” said Walendzak. “We have daughters who play sports together and I got to know Josh through that. Having you here on council was a pleasure getting to know you.” Seferian agreed. “Josh, it was great having you here. As mayor, I know there are spots on commissions and boards that sometimes open up. I have a few of those waiting for you if you’re interested.” Seferian presented Peach with a wristwatch for his long years of public service. It was engraved with “Jerry Peach, in appreciation of your dedicated service.” “That’s very nice,” said Peach to applause from the audience. Council was then adjourned.

Indicted After a recent session, the Ottawa County Grand Jury has indicted Collins Lindsey, 26, who is being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, with one count of Failure to Comply, a felony of the third degree, along with misdemeanor charges of Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated and Failure to Reinstate. According to Carroll Township Police reports, Lindsey led officers on a chase for more than eight miles earlier this month. According to Ottawa County Prosecutor Mark Mulligan, the duration of the pursuit, which ended after officers deployed stop sticks to deflate Lindsey’s tires, created a substantial risk of physical harm to other motorists on the road, resulting in the felony charges. In addition, Jeffery L. Hartzell, Jr., 32, and Nicollena A. Hartzell, 31, both of Toledo, have been charged with one felony count each of Burglary, Theft from Persons in a Protected Class and Receiving Stolen Property. The charges stem from an investigation by the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office into a theft from a Curtice residence late last month. A follow-up investigation determined that the Hartzells had sold property in Toledo that had been taken from the Curtice home, Mulligan said, adding, “A key factor in the case was a security photo from the pawn shop where the two defendants sold the stolen property.” Warrants have been issued for all defendants.

$235,000 worth of drugs seized Two men face felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized 47 pounds of marijuana and 111 grams of hash oil, worth a combined $235,000, following a traffic stop in Wood County. The stop occurred Nov. 23 at about 11:20 a.m. troopers stopped two vehicles: a 2015 Lincoln MKX, with California registration, and a 2015 Toyota pick-up truck, with Washington registration, for moving violations on Interstate 80, near milepost 70. It was determined during the traffic stop that both vehicles were traveling together. A patrol drug-sniffing canine alerted to

the Lincoln. Troopers also detected an odor of raw marijuana coming from the Toyota pick-up truck. According to the Highway Patrol, a probable cause search revealed the contraband in the Lincoln and marijuana residue was found in the pick-up truck. The drivers, David J. Ditoro, 30, of Leavenworth, Wash., and Christopher Moroch, 32, of Stowe, Vt., were incarcerated in the Wood County Jail and charged with possession of drugs, a third-degree felony and trafficking in drugs, second-degree felony. If convicted, each could face up to 13 years in prison and up to a $25,000 fine.

Hayes Center launching new vision The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center, the nation’s first presidential library, turns 100 in 2016. The center, located at the corner of Hayes and Buckland in Fremont, is embarking on a new vision for its next century, including a new name, logo and website, which it will unveil at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Dec. 4, in the Hayes Museum auditorium. The public is invited, and refreshments will be served. “This is big,” said Christie Weininger, Hayes Presidential Center executive director. “We hope the public is as excited as we are.” The center has already begun a transformation as work continues on a new, handicapped-accessible museum front entrance, which is expected to be completed in March. There is handicapped-accessible entrance at the back of the museum, but the new entrance will allow everyone to enter through the front doors. Installation of new museum exhibit galleries, which will better tell the story of President Rutherford B. Hayes begins Jan. 4. Although the museum will be closed, the library, Hayes home and grounds will remain open during construction.

Pilkington loses appeal on electric rate case By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected a challenge by Pilkington North America, Inc. to an order by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. The company contended the PUCO was wrong when it allowed Toledo Edison to prematurely end a special service contract with Pilkington and five other industrial companies but the court affirmed the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order, ruling Pilkington hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met requirements set by state law for appealing PUCO decisions. The case stems from a 1990 contract Pilkington inked with Edison under which the utility provided discounted electric service to Pilkington. In 2008, Pilkington filed a complaint with the PUCO alleging Edison has unlawfully terminated the contract in February

of that year despite language in the agreement stating it would remain in effect for the rest of the year. Five other companies, including Martin Marietta, also filed complaints against the utility and all but Martin Marietta placed in escrow the difference between the contract rates and higher tariff rates from February through December. In February 2009, the PUCO dismissed the complaints, finding the companies failed to show Edison â&#x20AC;&#x153;had violated an applicable order, statute, or regulationâ&#x20AC;? when it terminated the contracts. All of the companies except Pilkington filed appeals with the Supreme Court, resulting in Pilkington having to release its share of money in escrowâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; about $1.8 million - to Edison. In August 2011, the court reversed the PUCOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order, holding that Edison had prematurely terminated the special contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found under the plain language of the contracts that the contracts should

have remained in effect until December 31, 2008,â&#x20AC;? the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This meant that the industrial customers who had appealed were entitled to discounted rates from Toledo Edison over the 10-month billing period from February to December 31, 2008.â&#x20AC;? Four months later Pilkington filed a motion with the PUCO, arguing the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision also applied to it because the contract language was the same as the other companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contracts. The PUCO rejected the argument and an application by Pilkington for a rehearing. The company filed an instant appeal with the court but it ruled last week in favor of the PUCO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pilkington had the burden of demonstrating that the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders were unreasonable or unlawful,â&#x20AC;? the court ruled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pilkington has not carried that burden in this appeal.â&#x20AC;?

Conservation Award The Wood County Park Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stewardship Department has received a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Native Plant Growerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Awardâ&#x20AC;? from the Oak Opening Regions Chapter of The Wild Ones, a national conservation agency that promotes the use of native plants and the sustainable landscaping movement. The stewardship team collects and cleans native plant seeds and propagates native plants which are sown throughout the parks and sold at area farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, the Master Gardener Plant Exchange and the Friends of the Wood County Parks Mothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day Plant Sale.

Allen Clay Joint Fire District Station #1 Would like to thank the area businesses that gave so many wonderful door prizes for the Feather Party held on Nov. 14. This was the 55th Annual Feather Party and these generous door prizes helped to make it a great success.

Thanks again, ACJFD Station #1

I am just drawn to old things...I have the ideas and my husband is the one who does the heavy lifting and makes them come true.

“

Two homes in East Toledo have been chosen by voters and One Voice For East Toledo as the area’s “Most Beautiful.” According to Jodi Gross, community builder with the East Toledo Family Center, the contest drew a few nominations which were then put up on the One Voice Facebook page for voting. “This program was established to recognize homeowners or investors who take pride in the appearance of their property and community,” Gross said. “We let the voters pick their favorite property.” This was the first year for the contest, according to Gross. The winners both received a certificate of recognition, a Meijer $50 gift card and a “Beautiful Home” yard sign to place in their yard. The house that brought in the most votes is owned by Marv and Karen Traver, of 1623 Idaho Street. According to Marv, the couple is proud to own the historical 102 year old home. “We are the second family to ever live here,” Marv said. “The former owner, Jake Norman, was from Switzerland. We have been here 42 years now.” Marv said both he and his wife were shocked to hear they had won the contest. “I don’t think it is the most beautiful house in East Toledo, but we are thrilled others think it is,” he said. “It is nice to win and it makes me happy. We are grateful to have won.” Marv said he and his wife take great pride in their home and in East Toledo as well. The couple is also involved with helping to plant the flowers every spring at St. Thomas Aquinas Church. “The east side is always being put down,” Marv said. “Not everything is trashy here. The whole Oakdale neighborhood is full of beautiful homes that are being taken care of. We have wonderful neighbors here.” Marv said he is hoping more people enter the contest next year. He is also hoping the contest spurs East Toledo pride. “I hope younger families move here,” he said. “People can do little things to improve the east side. Sweep your sidewalk and clean your gutters. Put a flag out and maybe sit out on your porch sometime. Take pride in East Toledo. It’s the little things that make it better. You can make a bit of a difference here by taking care of your home.” The second winning home is owned by Russ and Tina Varwig, of 427 Euclid Street. “I was like shocked,” Tina said of winning. “I never declared my home as beautiful. I have always thought of it as eclectic, different and maybe a little weird and odd.

Tina has used her keen design eye and love of all things old to rehab her home and her rental properties. She used a wring washer from the 1950’s and filled it with flowers. She used to have a fence made out of all doors for 15 years. This year she used suitcases from the forties and fifties as defacto planters. “I am just drawn to old things,” Tina explained. “Inside, my upstairs sink is made out of a 1953 television set. The downstairs sink is made out of a beautiful old dresser. I have a 1930’s buffet used as my kitchen island. I have the ideas and my husband is the one who does the heavy lifting and makes them come true.” Tina said she also hopes more people enter the contest next year and that even more take pride in their homes and properties. “It is important to take pride in what you have,” she said. “It represents you and who you are. Sometimes it is infectious. There are a lot of people who do take pride in their homes over here.”

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) There are some real pretty houses around here. I am just pleasantly surprised that people appreciate our home.” Tina said she and her husband own a few rental properties in the area and take great pride in them as well. The couple has been at the forefront of the currently chic re-purposing trend.

“The bird houses in my yard are made from wood from a home that burned,” Tina said. “I have a message board in one of my homes that was made from the window of another burned out home. I like old things and I see the beauty in them.” The creator and single member of MASH (Mothers Against Shabby Homes),

Construction on a project to replace concrete pavement near I-280 at Libbey Road is expected to begin late next summer or early fall. Lake Township has been awarded funding through the Turnpike Mitigation Program for the project that is estimated to cost about $110,000. A 250-foot by 42-foot section of roadway at Libbey will be replaced. According to the Ohio Department of Transportation, the project will take about 21 days to complete and will occur between next July and October. The purpose of the program is to minimize the impact of areas where traffic volume is greater due to the turnpike’s presence. Eligible projects must be located within one mile of the turnpike.

44th East Toledo Christmas Parade draws 45 attractions By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com The 44th Annual East Toledo Christmas Parade, sponsored by River East Associates, will step off at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 5. Lineup starts at 10:30 a.m. at East Broadway and S. Ravine Parkway Dr. The route goes along East Broadway, Starr, Main and Front, disbanding at the Waite High School Skills Center. So far, about 45 units have signed up to be in the parade, according to Denny Fairchild, one of the parade’s organizers. Participants include the Waite Band, antique cars, walking groups, fire trucks – new and antique – and members of the Exchange Club of Greater Maumee Bay, who will be passing out flags, to name a few. Earlier this month, River East Associates conducted a holiday coloring contest for students in grades K-5 from the six East Toledo Elementary Schools and L. Hollingworth, Reach and Aurora academies and the winners from each school earned the honor of riding on a Gingerbread House float. Of course, Santa himself will wind up the parade, eyeing the crowd for good little girls and boys along the way. The smiles of the young and young-at-heart make the months of planning worth it, said Fairchild, who is in his 25th year of involvement with the parade. “It gets a whole lot easier after all these years,” Fairchild said. “I usually start about five months in advance, and really get into it about three months before the parade. Now, before I even pull out my actual ‘todo’ list, I just know what I’ve got to do to get started. “You worry about it when you’re plan-

Santa will take time out of his super-busy schedule to visit East Toledo in the 44th Annual Christmas Parade Dec. 5. ning it, but the day of the parade when you stand there and watch it go down the street, it’s really nice,” he said. “It’s great that it

keeps going on, that people still have so much pride in East Toledo that they get involved.”

To inquire about participating in the parade, or to learn more, call Fairchild at 419-693-9517.

Oregon approves permit for New Harvest Christian Church Oregon City Council approved a Special Use permit for New Harvest Christian Church at 3540 Seaman Road. The Special Use is in an R-2 Medium Density Residential District. The applicant, Khalid Esmail project manager for BP Husky, is seeking the Special Use permit for an office on the property. Esmail sought the permit on behalf of the owner, Sharon McQueary, interim pastor of New Harvest Christian Church. A public hearing was held on Oct. 20 by the Oregon Planning Commission, which voted 3-0 to recommend that the application be approved. Tim Odenweller, council chair of New Harvest Church, said the church decided to rent out part of the building “to assist us in the financial health of the church.” “The church has been a part of the community for many, many years. This will allow us to continue being a productive part of the community as well as bring additional tax dollars to the city. Mayor Mike Seferian, who is also a member of the Planning Commission, said that BP Husky has signed an agreement with the church to bring in approximately 60 positions for training in engineering. “They will rendezvous from that

point,” said Seferian. James Gilmore, building and zoning commissioner, said that the Special Use is required because any offices/classrooms in the building have to be associated with the church. Once an independent business moves in, it is not allowed in a residential zone. “It is currently zoned R-2 with a church on it. The reason we’re here is that only church business can take place at this location at this particular time. When you move a private business in, we either need a zoning change or special use. We felt a special use was more appropriate to deal just with this particular development,” said Gilmore. At the Planning Commission meeting on Oct. 20, Esmail said the project involves the repurposing of the interior of the building to house a team of engineers responsible for executing a portfolio of projects. They plan on occupying the building for a minimum of five years and will accommodate a maximum of 58 individuals, many of whom travel quite a bit. Some work at the refinery during constructions phases of their respective projects or out of state at the engineering hub in Texas. He said it would be rare to have all of the individuals in the building at the same time. They are not planning on making any exterior modifications except perhaps adding an additional HVAC unit to comply with code for fresh air intake. They

are also planning to park a few company vehicles overnight and will need enough illumination there for security cameras. Ted Barraclough, who said he lives across the street from the church on Seaman Road, was opposed to the permit. He said he was mostly opposed because the property would become commercial when it’s zoned residential. “I’m worried about the value of my home and property,” he said. “I’m also

worried about the extra traffic that’s going to be going in and out of there five days per week.” Councilman Jerry Peach said he understood his concerns about a church in a residentially zoned area. “The zoning is not going to be changed. This will represent permission to use the church property for a specific use. But the zoning will remain residential,” said Peach. The hours of operation in the office will be between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The Project Review Committee has no objections to the permit because it will have low impact on neighboring uses. The Special Use will last as long as the church continues to rent out the building, said Seferian. “If they stopped the use for a period of two years, it would disappear,” he said.

Tax renewal on board agenda By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A resolution to place an income tax issue on the ballot next year for renewal is on the agenda for the Nov. 30 meeting of the Eastwood school board. Dave Michel, district treasurer, said the board is preparing to place the 1 percent tax on the March 2016 ballot. The tax, which is levied only on earned income and not on Social Security benefits, pensions and similar sources of income, generates about $1.92 million annually for the Wood County school system. Voters first approved the tax in 2006 and renewed it in 2011. As of January 2015, income taxes were in place in 189 Ohio school districts, according to the state’s taxation department. The Eastwood board on Monday is also expected to approve the transfer of $144,675 from the general fund to a bond retirement account. Michel said the transfer is needed to meet legal requirements for paying on a

bond the district has issued for financing its share of a new elementary school building. The district is using tax revenues and payments from a tax abatement agreement to fund its share of construction costs. The Ohio School Facilities Commission is also providing funding. A drawing of the proposed building was posted on the district’s website last month. It is designed to separate the gym, music and cafeteria spaces from the academic areas with the offices in the middle. A center space houses the main entrance and offices, the media center, computer room, and art room. Smaller classrooms in this area will be used to serve students with disabilities and those needing speech or occupational therapy. A legal challenge to the school is pending in court. The Wood County Common Pleas Court this summer dismissed a lawsuit seeking to block construction. The residents who filed the lawsuit have appealed the decision.

After a brief presentation, Conservancy staff will be on-hand to answer any questions regarding the LAEPP. The LAEPP is operated by the Department of Agriculture. A farmland owner sells his development rights through a legal document called an agricultural easement – a three-party voluntary land conservation agreement of the landowner, the Department of Agriculture, and the Conservancy. Agricultural easements require that the current owner and all future owners of the property use the land mostly for farming, in perpetuity. Farmland owners in Northwest Ohio who are interested in the LAEPP can only apply for the funding through Black Swamp Conservancy. For the 2016 funding round, the Conservancy will be accepting applications from Fulton, Hancock, Lucas, Sandusky, Seneca, and Wood counties.

Bicyclist tops $7,000, surpasses the 3,000 mile mark Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on August 17 on a bicycle ride around the perimeter of the United States in an effort to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children. Here is an excerpt from his blog, which you can follow by going to presspublications.com and clicking on the icon on the upper right. Greetings from Charleston Folks, Across the darkened, pre-dawn, star lit sky of April 12, 1861, a Confederate shell arched high above Charleston Harbor, exploding with a burst of light over Federal controlled Fort Sumter Island. It was 4:30 a.m. and the 85 Union defenders and their commander, Major Robert Anderson, surrounded by Confederate batteries ringing Charleston Harbor, knew that this was the beginning--the beginning of a Civil War--a war that would become the most cataclysmic conflict in our country’s history resulting in the deaths of 620,000 Americans, roughly equal that of all other American wars combined. That opening starburst shell was a signal to the 19 Confederate batteries surrounding the island fort to begin their bombardment. It would go on for 34 hours and would rain down over 3,000 shells on the beleaguered Union forces. Commanding those 19 Confederate batteries was Major Anderson’s former artillery student and assistant at West Point - and also a former friend--Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard who demanded the surrender of the fort. Anderson refused. And thus, the bombardment commenced. Amazingly, through that 34 hour shelling, not a single Union soldier died, probably due to the massive, three tiered, 5 foot thick brick walls of the Fort. Still . . . shell shocked and realizing the hopeless situation of his men, Anderson made the decision to surrender his garrison. Given honorable terms of surrender, Anderson and his men lowered the U.S. 33 star flag, and boarded ships bound for New York.

Fort Sumter today. The large black structure to the right is Battery Huger which was added around 1898 during the SpanishAmerican War. (Photo by Al Thompson). Four long years of Civil War would ensue, and the Union would eventually take control of the batteries surrounding Fort Sumter, and in turn bombard the now Confederate held fort with over 50,000 shells over a period of 15 months, in effect, reducing the fort to a pile of rubble. (That pile would actually preserve the bottom portions of the fort for us to wonder at today.) When Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy surrendered in 1865, a ceremony would be held on April 14 at Fort Sumter to raise the Stars and Stripes once again--four years to the day that the Flag had been lowered in surrender. An officer who knew the fort well helped to raise Old Glory back to its place of honor. The officer was General Robert Anderson. That very same night, 600 miles to the north, John Wilkes Booth

would step into Abraham Lincoln’s box at Ford’s Theater and end the life the Man who had preserved the Union. I’m here in Charleston, and my odometer has just turned over 3,000 miles. My visit to Fort Sumter was on a cloudy and breezy day, but the ride out to the mouth of Charleston Harbor where the Fort is located was truly enjoyable. Our small group spent about an hour at the fort . . . and I could have spent five. It is such an interesting place to experience, and the echoes of those thousands of falling shells are not heard, but seen in the remains of the preserved bottom tiers of the Fort. Yesterday I volunteered with Charleston Habitat for Humanity on a small house being rehabbed in the downtown area. My plan was just to visit the Fort and continue south, but I’m glad I was able to

help out on a Charleston Habitat project. We were a small group of volunteers doing some things like painting to get the small dwelling into good condition. My wheels will roll into Savannah next week, but with the Thanksgiving Holiday, not much will be going on, so it’s good that this week in Charleston provided an opportunity to work with Habitat. At this 3,000 mile mark, I again would like to thank all those who have supported my ride through your donations to Habitat For Humanity and Save The Children. The combined donations for both causes are now more than $7,000. Proceeding on, Al Thompson

Opposed to variance To the editor: Columbia Gas will be requesting setback variances at the Oregon Municipal Building at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 2, for the proposed expansion of the Gas Regulator Station at the corner of Brown and Lallendorf roads. Area residents are requesting support in denying this variance. The reasons setbacks are typically instituted in a community are for privacy of the neighbors and for safety of the public. With respect to privacy, setbacks are so one neighbor does not build too close to another and also to allow access to rear yards. With respect to safety, permanent structures need to be far enough from the street for protection from traffic, to offer visibility at intersections for safe traffic movement and to afford the ability for future expansion of roadways such as the installation of turn lanes or additional lane widths. These are justifications typically used for setbacks for residential and most commercial properties. In the case of the proposed gas regulator station expansion, these setbacks are especially critical as the station is utilized for natural gas transportation. Natural gas is a highly explosive gas and requires special handling. Columbia Gas indicated in a recent public meeting that they have many restrictions on their facilities due to natural gas’s explosive nature. Reducing the distance between the traveling public and this source of natural gas just does not make sense. This reduction in area safety has consequences far beyond just the neighboring properties. The area surrounding this gas regulator station has vastly changed since the original station was installed in 1957 including residential density and the fact that the traffic volume has increased many times over. Any person traveling through this busy intersection is exposed to this increased risk of explosion. As this variance request is submitted before Oregon’s Board of Zoning Appeals, we are requesting support from area residents that this issue not be rushed through the approval process without complete details of the proposed gas regulator station’s site plan, architectural plans and safety mechanisms to be installed. After all, we are not talking about a resident wanting to build a garage 3 feet closer to his neighbor’s property or 7 feet closer to the street centerline. We are talking about a highly explosive facility that Columbia Gas is requesting to erect 40 feet closer to the road than current setbacks permit. This facility will be part of our community for the next 50-plus years, affecting many more people (the traveling public) than the typical variance request that involves several neighbors of adjacent properties. If Columbia Gas cannot build upon the site without needing setback variances, then they should select a more appropriate property for the safety of our community.

Work smart by focusing on long term There are numerous benefits to working hard. But working hard, without first working smart, wastes time and energy. Imagine a carpenter cutting lumber based on what looks to be the right length. When the first board doesn’t fit properly, he immediately cuts another board. He repeats this process without a break until he has a board which is an exact fit. Although this carpenter is working hard, it’s obvious he isn’t working smart. If he carefully measured first, he would only have to cut one board. He could then direct his energy into finishing his building project, rather than wasting time and lumber. Working smart entails thinking and planning before acting. This is your goal or result. If everything goes as planned, this is what you will accomplish. Your goal needs to be as specific as possible. The carpenter might think his goal is nailing another board in place. This is too general. It’s specific when the goal identifies the size, type and location of the board. Actually, the goal of nailing one board into place is part of the larger goal of constructing the entire building. When you are working smart, you are looking down the road at the bigger, long term picture. It’s no different than a skilled chess player planning many moves ahead. Each move is designed to attain ultimate victory. Your efforts are diffused in random directions when you don’t know precisely where you are headed. Then you accomplish less in spite of expending a lot more effort. In this situation, you are working very hard with little to show. Frustration

builds as you exhaust yourself for nothing. Once you have determined what you want to accomplish, you are ready to compile a detailed step by step plan to get you there. The steps must be in the order they will be taken. Each step should be small enough to be manageable. Steps which are too big are overwhelming and less likely to be completed. Now you are ready to work smart by taking the action necessary to accomplish the first step. Nothing happens until you take action. Once the first step is completed, move onto the next step. Repeat this process until you have attained your objective.

Paralysis by analysis inhibits action. In this mode you are justifying remaining stagnant. Sitting in one place doesn’t get you anywhere. If you are going to work smart, you must make a decision to take action. Worry is another useless endeavor. Worry is like being in a rocking chair; it’s a lot of activity which doesn’t get you anywhere. Energy spent worrying is wasted. Replace worry with action. Working smart means you are ready and willing to make any necessary adjustments to your plan. This is required in response to unexpected circumstances, new information, obstacles, problems, setbacks, or changing objectives. Life is fluid. Adapting as needed is working smart. Being productive is also working smart. You are productive when your actions bring you closer to your goals. Time is wasted if your behavior doesn’t accomplish anything worthwhile. Being busy without being productive is not working smart. Working smart boosts your productivity. Working hard at working smart accelerates your progress. Continue to work smart by constantly monitoring your results to ensure you are staying on track. Thinking before you act is working smart. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Organic farming can be cutting-edge, too. By Jill Richardson When I first began researching agriculture, I had no idea how organic farming worked. I saw it as a somewhat backward yet non-toxic and desirable way to grow food. Organic farmers didn’t use fertilizer, I figured, so maybe the plants would be smaller. And they didn’t use pesticides, so I’d have to settle for some damage to my food — and I’d pay more for the privilege. As for the people who thought organic agriculture produced better, healthier food than conventional farming, I figured they were nuts. That sounded like magical thinking to me. Did organic farmers grow food using fairies and rainbows? The notion that organic farming is at odds with modern science is an attitude I’ve heard repeated many times, even by organic activists. “We just need to go back and grow food how we used to,” they’ll say. Today, I fundamentally disagree. Organic agriculture is best achieved using cutting-edge science and technology. Take for example, the discovery that plants actually detect pests — or even just the eggs of a pest about to hatch — and then actively attract the predators of their pests. It’s true. And all plants do it, to varying degrees. Scientists are now harnessing this power to help farmers develop crop varieties that are particularly skilled at alerting the “good guys” to come eat the “bad guys.” In Kenya, they’ve created a pest control system using nothing more than native plants. Tens of thousands of Kenyan farmers put the system into practice, at no cost

and with massive success in eliminating a major corn pest. That’s just one example of the amazing powers of nature we’re only now learning about. In another case, David Crowley, an environmental microbiologist at the University of California-Riverside, found that growth-promoting bacteria had helped a creosote bush survive for 11,700 years — more than twice as long as all of recorded history — in the Mojave Desert. Could

those same bacteria help crops, too? It’s possible. It’s true that our ancestors discovered many ways to grow food without synthetic chemicals or modern science. But that doesn’t mean science doesn’t validate those farming methods — or that we can’t use new research to keep improving. Those who make their fortunes selling toxic chemicals love perpetuating the myth that organic farming is anti-science. But at its best, organic farming is holistic in its understanding of the natural world — not mechanistic, like conventional agriculture. It works best when you harness the power of the microbes in the soil, a topic experts in conventional methods remain woefully ignorant about. Organic farmers take a systemic approach to farming. They get that when a horde of pests attacks a crop, the answer isn’t to just kill the pests but to ask what’s going on in the soil or the environment that makes that plant unable to defend itself. Organic agriculture isn’t always done this way. But it can be. It’s time for organic advocates to stop selling themselves short. Until we all get on the same page about the science of growing food the organic way, we’re only helping the purveyors of toxic chemicals to poison our food and our planet. And there’s nothing scientific about that. OtherWords columnist Jill Richardson is the author of Recipe for America: Why Our Food System Is Broken and What We Can Do to Fix It. OtherWords.org.

Victim of attacks gave advice to “savor every moment” By Heather Szozda Special to The Press

“

Heather Szozda is the niece of Press manager John Szozda. She wrote this and posted it on her Facebook page shortly after hearing her friend was a victim of the terrorists’ attack in Paris.

“

Last Friday was a day that many of us still have fresh in our minds. Like most, I was upset upon hearing the news but went on with my evening. The casualties were just numbers; blank faces who were unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. It wasn’t until Saturday morning that the true weight of this event hit me. My friend, Quentin, died in the Paris attacks on Friday night. I met Quentin in the spring of 2009 while he was studying at OSU as an exchange student. I was quickly captivated by his passion for immersing himself in American culture, while also sharing his French heritage with those around him. Q tried to teach me many things. Some things stuck, while others, like French politics or language pronunciation, did not. Before Quentin moved back at the end of the quarter, I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon alone with him outside of our typical group of friends. We had lunch on the oval and then headed off to the OSU golf course to play a round. On this particular afternoon, Quentin gave me a piece of advice that I’ve held on to for years. He told me to try to experience and savor every moment, big or small, like it was a “once in a lifetime” type thing; to fully acknowledge your life and those in it. In appreciation of his sage advice, I made him a picture as a parting gift because he had always commented that he liked the Warhol quotes that hung in my room. Later that year, I booked a flight to Paris and I don’t even think I was in my hotel for 10

Quentin with Heather Szozda in Paris. (Submitted photo) minutes before Quentin called to see if I was ready to see the city. He was so excited about showing my sister and I everything that Paris had to offer that he ran us around the city all day on foot. I have never had as many blisters in my life, but it was worth every ounce of pain. He insisted on taking us to get macaroons at Laduree (to which I learned are NOT the same as macaroni). When we got there I was overwhelmed by

all of the options and was trying to be cost conscious since it was still our first day in Paris. Quentin took over and ordered up a box with a variety of his favorites, let my sister and I pick out a few other flavors then paid for them with a smile and simply said “once in a lifetime.” Quentin is just one face of many victims. Each and every person lost in acts of terrorism and war has a story, a life and a

family. I encourage you to think about this before suggesting things like nuking entire countries or turning our backs to those in need. I write this not for your condolences, but as a reminder to honor the dead by living. Carry on their best qualities that have made an impact on you. Smile for those who are sad and love for those who are heartbroken. In the wake of tragedy, find peace by opening your heart and spreading love instead of spouting hate and ignorance behind a keyboard. We know how to come together as American citizens when tragedy strikes at home, but it is time we learn to unite as global humanitarians today and everyday. Go out in the world and meet new people. In turn, educate yourself and gain an understanding of cultures, backgrounds, and religions different than those of your own. Truly think and put yourself in someone else’s shoes before making judgments on their intentions. Treat yourself to life’s delicacies and savor your once in a lifetime moments and friendships.

Counseling Corner Job hunting has a new “focus” From the American Counseling Association Very few jobs today are forever. Company changes may be threatening your job or it might be that while your company and job is secure, it isn’t work that has you feeling satisfied, fulfilled or happy. You might be facing “job burnout,” when it’s time to move on. Realizing that you have to go job hunting, whether it’s your decision or one that’s been forced on you, can be a frightening experience, but it doesn’t have to be. The secret is simply to learn to make the most of the situation, or, as many people have put it, to look at it as an opportunity. While job hunting often is stressful, there are a number of things you can do to make the process easier and more productive. It’s generally advised to start your job hunt while still working at your old job, if possible. Employers tend to look more favorably on candidates who are still employed, plus you’ll experience less pressure and stress as long as you still have that current job. A key, however, is not to tell your current fellow employees that you’re job hunting since that almost ensures that your current work environment will suffer. There are several things you can and should do before beginning that job search. Start off by taking a self-inventory. What are your interests, current skills and overall experience? Do you enjoy your current field of employment or would you be happier if your work life headed in a whole new direction? If the latter is the choice, what skills and interests could you bring to a new job? Is there training that you might need to head into that new field? Would you relocate to a different town or state for a new job? If facing such questions and self-analysis seems a bit overwhelming, you might consider meeting with a professional counselor who specializes in career counseling, guiding people to identify for themselves what might be the best new direction for them. If you visit the American Counseling Association website at www.counseling. org, the “Find a Counselor” link at the top of the page will direct you to websites to help you locate counselors in your area.

Class A Dance Studio staging “The Nutcracker” By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Class A Dance Studio in Oak Harbor will present the holiday classic, “The Nutcracker” Sunday, Dec. 6. The studio has staged five productions of the show since 2000. The two-act ballet was originally choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a score coming by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Under the leadership of Paula FoxFerguson who owns and operates the studio, the cast and crew is putting the finishing touches on the production. McKinley Ferguson, Fox’s daughter, is co-producing the play. The cast, which numbers over 80, includes residents of Oak Harbor, Genoa, Woodville, Elmore, Port Clinton and Fremont. “It’s really a great storyline. It can be adapted many ways; every time I do it there are little changes, every company has its own vision. The story is such a magical one,” said Fox-Ferguson. “It’s just a wonderful story, a fantasy that this girl has in our dream. It’s a part of our culture and it

gets your ready for Christmas and the holiday spirit. It’s basically this girl going into a wonderful dream on Christmas and it was all inspired by the wonderful nutcracker that she was given.” The production features Savannah Bolyard as Clara; Danny McMullen as the Nutcracker; Kiley Gronwall as Dream Clara and Christopher Bolyard as the Prince. Dancing the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy will be Summer Swope and Mother Ginger will be played by Angie Rahm. The cast has been rehearsing since September. “The end result has always been great, it’s just the stress of the misses during rehearsal and the worry of whether it’s going to be ready for the stage,” Fox-Ferguson said. “We’re obviously passionate about it; we only do it every other year, and it’s a huge undertaking. Our cast averages between 80-90 people, and it’s tough just to get everyone to rehearsal. We’ve been trying to fit as much of it in during class time.” Fox-Ferguson credited Camp Perry with donating some space that the crew could use for rehearsal. “We’ve had to use space outside the studio because it’s not big enough. Camp

Perry was kind enough to donate the armory for us,” she said. “That was a blessing and it was wonderful, there was plenty of space, (and) we didn’t have to keep transporting things back and forth. That was a blessing.” There will be two shows – one at 3 p.m. and the other at 6:30 p.m.. One of the best aspects of staging the show is watching the kids learn the ways of the theater, Fox-Ferguson said. “I have such a big vision of the show every time I do it. I have such high expectations because I know they’re capable. If you raise the bar sometimes, they will rise to the expectations,” she said. “They’re young; it’s an experience, and we approach it like this is a professional show. They learn the ins and outs, the etiquette, the safety issues, how to work in the theater. “I think the thing that we are most proud of is the cast is so young. Sometimes I will bring in former students that were dance majors. It is all students, they’ve risen to the occasion and they’ve done a lovely job. The fact that they bring such a professional production to life is wonderful,” she said.

St. Kateri Catholic School adds therapy dog to its staff

“

...one of the seniors came up to me and said, ‘Mr. Parkins, I already feel calmer...’

“

St. Kateri Catholic Schools welcomed the newest member of its staff Monday, Nov. 16. Violet, a 2-year-old Chocolate Labrador Retriever, is a school therapy dog and will be at the school five days a week. She was trained for roughly 22 months by Assistance Dogs for Achieving Independence (ADAI) – which has a location in Toledo – and is now considered a full-time staff member of the school. Her job description is a big one but one she takes on with enthusiasm and ease – to lift the spirits of students, help them with reading and to be a calming influence for everyone at SKCS. Violet will spend most of her day in the guidance office, but will also be making trips to the classrooms to visit with students and teachers. In the evening, she stays with SKCS principal Kevin Parkins. Before Violet’s arrival, Parkins and two other staff members attended a weeklong training session to learn how to properly handle Violet, feed her and continue her training. “This dog will be whatever you want her to be,” Parkins said. “If you want to see her, great. If you don’t want to see her, that’s okay, too. But she is here to be an emotional support opportunity for all of us.” The wait for Violet has been a long one for SKCS. The school first applied for a grant to get a therapy dog four years ago and was put on a waiting list. But the wait has certainly been worth

it.

Second grade students line up to meet Violet, the new therapy dog at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School and St. Kateri Catholic Academy. (Photo courtesy of St. Kateri Catholic Schools)

“In her first outing, one of the seniors came up to me and said, ‘Mr. Parkins, I already feel calmer with her around,’” Parkins said. “So there is a presence about her that just calms students down.” While other schools in the area have also received a therapy dog, but Violet is the first one from ADAI to be placed in a school that houses students in grades prekindergarten through high school all under one roof. St. Kateri Catholic Schools is the first parochial school that has been awarded a dog from ADAI. Now that Violet is finally a fixture at SKCS, students and staff members alike are thrilled to have her at the school. “I am excited,” said Parkins. “I was unsure she would ever come, being on the (waiting) list for four years…but now that she is here, I’m very excited to have her here.”

Genius Hour ‘Shark Tank’ Seventh-grade students at Oak Harbor Middle School are excited about the possibilities of a new program being implemented called Genius Hour. Genius Hour is an educational concept that was developed from similar programs in corporations such as 3M and Google that allowed their employees time to work on their passions. Genius Hour has many names, such as Innovation Time, 20% Time, Passion Based Learning and more. The seventh-graders at OHMS will be given one period a week to follow their passions and work on projects in which they are deeply interested. They will develop a proposal and timeline for completion that outlines what they wish to learn and how the project will benefit their community. Students started the year off by designing a t-shirt concept for their classmates that represents school ideals, and they brainstormed fundraising methods to help the shirts be affordable for all. The students presented their concepts and research to a “Shark Tank” consisting of Superintendent Guy Parmigian, Principal Laramie Spurlock, Treasurer Cajon Keeton, and Becky Peterson, owner of the local business, the Rocket Shop. The “sharks” gave genuine feedback and selected an overall winner, Emma Raber who will be working with Madison McKitrick on the final design.

Behind the scenes University of Findlay student Serena Parlette, of Curtice, recently participated in the theatre performance, “Abigail/1702.” Directed by Christopher Matsos, Ph.D., assistant professor of theatre, the production was held in the Frank J. Egner Center for the Performing Arts, John and Hester Powell

Inspirational Message of the Week: The Door is Open How many of us live in prisons of our own making? If you feel constrained by the circumstances of your life and yet those circumstances are largely your own creations, then you have indeed built yourself a prison. Henry David Thoreau writes about those who have “forged their own golden or silver fetters,”accumulating wealth and property to the point where they are literally enslaved to it. He reminds us that “A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.” And a man is free in the same proportion. The ultimate freedom is to have the liberty of mind and spirit to do as one would choose, free of duress or external control. Most adults live life free of external control, and

yet we feel constrained by the circumstances of our lives. We must toil and work like slaves because we have allowed materialism to become our master. We are slaves to our appetites and desires because we have allowed hedonism to become our master. And we are imprisoned by our own minds because we fail to see that there are other ways to think and live. The Sufi poet Rumi asks “Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?” The answer can only be that it is a prison of our own choosing. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

For the sixth consecutive year, Owens Community College has been designated a 2016 Military Friendly School by Victory Media, the leader in successfully connecting the military and civilian worlds. Now in its seventh year, the Military Friendly Schools designation provides service members and their families with transparent, data-driven ratings about post-military education and career opportunities. Institutions competed for the title by completing a survey of more than 100 questions covering 10 categories, including military support on campus, graduation and employment outcomes, and military spouse policies. Survey responses were scored against benchmarks across these key indicators of success. In addition, data was independently tested by Ernst & Young based upon the weightings and methodology established by Victory Media with guidance from an independent advisory board of higher education and recruiting professionals. Owens’ Office of Veterans Services opened in 2011 and is staffed by former military personnel. For more information, visit www.owens.edu/veterans or call 567-661-8387.

Capitol Christmas Tree touring By Matt Reese As Thanksgiving approaches, so does the annual tradition of getting in the holiday spirit that accompanies the magical time of year ahead. A couple of Ohio communities have a unique opportunity to get a jump on the Christmas spirit this month as the 2015 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree tours the state. The tradition of the Capitol Christmas Tree, or “The People’s Tree” got its start in 1964 when the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives placed a live Christmas tree on the Capitol lawn. Since 1970, the U.S. Forest Service has provided a Christmas tree for the prominent location. A tree from a different national forest has been chosen each year. In 1987, Ohio provided a Norway spruce from WayneHoosier National Forest for this purpose. The national forest also works with state forests to provide smaller Christmas trees for offices in Washington, D.C. While Ohio is not the home of this year’s Capitol Christmas Tree, there are a number of Ohio connections to the tree that will make the longest-ever Capitol Christmas Tree trip to the Washington, D.C. from its home in Alaska’s Chugach National Forest. As one would imagine, there are some very significant logistical issues for getting a 90-year-old, 74- foot Lutz spruce from one end of the country to the other. That is where Ohio comes in. The tree will be making much of the 4,000-mile journey in a custom-decaled Kenworth T680 truck that was built in Chillicothe. The truck design features the Chugach Mountains and the U.S. Capitol beneath a northern starry sky with the words “From the Northern Lights to Capitol Lights.” It also includes the 2015 Capitol Christmas Tree official seal, a map of the tour route across the United States, and the Alaska state logo of Lynden Transport, a long-time Kenworth customer based in Anchorage. The T680 76-inch mid-roof sleeper is equipped with a fuel-efficient 485-horsepowerp PACCAR MX-13 engine with 1,650 pound-feet of torque. It will pull a trailer specially designed for the Capitol Christmas Tree. The massive tree was cut during a special ceremony in late October at its longtime home near Seward, Alaska. Once cut, the tree was moved to the Port of Tacoma and shipped to Seattle — this is the first Capitol Christmas Tree to be shipped via the ocean. To meet the tree’s needs of 20 to 40 gallons of water a day on the three-day ocean leg of the journey, a special “bladder” was built to keep the tree hydrated. A special heating element was designed to keep the tree from freezing on the ship as well.

From Seattle, the tree was loaded on the custom T680 to make the 3,000-mile trip to the Capitol, stopping in a number of communities along the way. While the tree will not be removed from the truck during the community stops, visitors can look at it through windows and are encouraged to sign the official banner on the side of the truck and send a message back to Washington, D.C. Community stops for “The People’s Tree” include: • Seward, AK • Moose Pass, AK • Anchorage, AK • Seattle, WA • Missoula, MT • Sheridan, WY • Rapid City, SD • La Vista, NE • South Bend, IN • Findlay, OH • Chillicothe, OH • Joint Base Andrews, MD After arriving in Washington, D.C. the tree lighting is expected to occur in early December, though the exact date has yet to be determined by the U. S. Speaker of the House of Representatives. The tree’s stop in Findlay was Nov. 16 at the Court House/Municipal Building and at Chamberlin Hill School from 9:45 to 11:00 a.m. The Chillicothe stop was Nov. 17 at Mount Logan Elementary School. The cost for the trip is around half a million dollars that is funded by private sector donations from around 50 different companies and corporations. The truck will be driven by Lynden Transport driver John Schank, who drives a freightliner on the Dalton highway, one of the most dangerous trucking routes in the nation. The Alaska Trucking Association named Schank the 2014 “Driver of the Year” for logging 5 million miles accident-free on the Dalton Highway during his 40-year driving career, the highest number of miles on the Dalton Highway of any driver in history. Schank was chosen for the task of hauling the Capitol Christmas Tree for its longest trip in history for his record of safety, and it doesn’t hurt that he looks quite a bit like Santa Claus either, Alaskan sources say.

New car sales New vehicle sales among the seven auto dealers in the Eastern Maumee Bay communities have deceased 1.4 percent for the first nine months of the year. Local dealers have sold 3,074 new vehicles down from 3,118 for the first three quarters of 2014, according to AutoView Online, a data management firm which takes its figures from the state bureau of motor vehicles. Local dealers are: Baumann Chevrolet and Baumann Ford, Genoa; Dunn Chevy Buick, Oregon; Mathews Ford, Oregon; Keller Chevrolet, Gibsonburg; Rouen Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge, Woodville; and TriMotors Ford, Oak Harbor. Sales in Lucas County were flat, according to Bernie Quilter, Lucas County Clerk of Courts. Titles issued totaled 20,447 for each nine-month period.

Workplace Police departments get free lunch First Federal Bank and First Insurance Group employees performed more than 550 random acts of kindness as part of a company-wide Pay It Forward event held last week. First Federal bank employees in Genoa provided lunch from Taco Bell to both the Genoa and Clay Center police departments. The Genoa Taco Bell provided the food at a discount. A Pay It Forward is a random act of kindness that also includes such examples as leaving $10 on the fuel pump for the next customer, picking up the tab for the car behind you in the drive-thru or sending flowers to a nursing home. The company will also donate $10,000 to eight local non-profit organizations. To vote for your charity go to payitforward. first-fed.com. The deadline is Dec. 4th.

At the clubs Joe Cappel, vice president of business development at the Toledo Lucas County Port Authority, will speak to members of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation Friday, Dec. 11 at ProMedica Bay Park Community Hospital.
