New septic system rules
Owner to stop pumping service By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com With new rules for septic systems set to go into effect in Ohio, one business owner says the rules place his company in an untenable position and he’s decided to stop offering residential septage pumping service. Mick Torok, of N.A.T. Transportation, Inc., Bradner, O., said the rules jeopardize loyalty between his company and its customers and he doesn’t plan to obtain the license for the pumping service after Dec. 31. The new regulations, he said, place a greater licensing burden on septic haulers such as N.A.T., which will result in higher costs, but they also require haulers to report septic systems not in compliance with the regulations to county health departments. Torok said the reporting requirements will be a key to locating non-compliant systems. “We must be able to provide undivided loyalty to our customer,” he said. “The re-
“
We simply can’t live up to the expectations of the health department and satisfy the loyalty the customer expects.
“
Andrew MacRitchie, 28, of Northwood toyed with the idea of quitting smoking for some time but he knew he needed a little something extra to motivate him if he was going to stick it out and quit for good. “It’s something that I’ve wanted to do for a while, mainly health reasons. It was really starting to take a toll. I’ve smoked for almost 10 years now and it was time to quit,” explains MacRitchie. “For the last two years I said I have to quit soon but I would kind of stop for a couple days, then start back up then stop for a couple days then start back up. But November 4th I said, `It’s official. I’m done.’ I put my foot down. There was nothing that happened right around November, I just decided why not now,” he added. For extra motivation, MacRitchie decided that he would quit smoking for the month of November and use all of the money he saved not smoking to buy toys for needy children. MacRitchie went to Smoke Revolt in Oregon and purchased a Tornado E Cigarette to help him with his nicotine cravings. Being a pack a day smoker quitting was going to be no small feat and the savings no small sum of cash either. He calculated that over the 28 days from that morning to his December 1st shopping date he would save $147 and this became his donation pledge. MacRitchie knowing very well how magical Christmas can be for kids decided Toys for Tots would be the perfect motivation. “We always had amazing, amazing Christmases as kids. My parents worked hard and would usually go a little overboard. I remember how magical and awesome that was. So, that’s why I always remember to make sure to buy at least one toy each year to help someone. So I figured, you know what, why not? One toy is good, but $147 worth of toys is way better.” To gain support and courtesy from those friends still smoking, MacRitchie turned to Facebook to make his pledge pub-
porting requirement places this loyalty in question by creating a conflict of interest, which can not be resolved. Our customers are our friends and neighbors. We cannot and will not operate under these conditions.” He estimated pumping residential septic systems is about 20 percent of his business. The company, which operates in Wood, Sandusky, Seneca and Hancock counties, has been providing the service to
residential customers for about 35 years. “Our main business is hauling household trash. Pumping septic systems was an add-on business but it became extremely popular up until about eight years ago when sewers were installed in a lot of small towns,” Torok said, “We could have a trash customer that’s perfectly happy and maybe in five years they need their septic pumped and call us and find out what’s going on and we’d lose the trash business and everything. We simply can’t live up to the expectations of the health department and satisfy the loyalty the customer expects.” He’s been to Columbus to air his views on the pending rules and acknowledges some changes were made by lawmakers but “…for the most part the hauler becomes the agent of the health department.” “There are residential systems installed prior to permitting (in the 1970s) and they’re perfectly good, functioning systems,” Torok said. “But the fact you have to report information on them may bring an order or citation from the health departContinued on page 2

Ticket lottery
Septic rules Continued from front page ment on to the homeowner. Just because a system is old and doesn’t have a permit doesn’t mean it isn’t doing the job. The only problem a homeowner has is if the effluent is going off site. If it’s not leaving the site it’s not an environmental issue. But the law paints everything with a broad brush.” Torok said his company will continue to service industrial and commercial accounts.
Brad Espen, director of environmental health for the Wood County Health District, said haulers will only be required to submit pumping and disposal records to the district. However, records pertaining to the condition of the system will be given to homeowners to inform them if there are problems. The Ohio Department of Health has also posted a fact sheet on its website to counter rumors about the new rules, including one that no septic systems will be grandfathered.

“You can keep your system as-is as long as there’s not sewage on the top of the ground, missing parts/pieces or backup in your home,” the website says. Even a “failing” system could indicate problems that won’t require replacing the entire system to meet standards in the new rules or the existing state law, it says. Espen estimates in Wood County there are about 7,000 systems installed without permits. “Most, if not all, of those were installed prior to 1977,” he said.
A ticket lottery will be in place for the Toledo run of “The Book of Mormon,” the Tony Award-winning musical set for a limited engagement Dec. 16 to 21 at the Stranahan Theater in Toledo.

Smoker stops for Toys for Tots lic. “I didn’t ask anyone for help but I would mention it to people and on Facebook and out of nowhere my boss and the part owner of Arturo’s, Sarah Pescara, commented on my Facebook post and said, ‘That’s awesome and if you can do it, I’ll match you.’ And, about a week later, I was telling my friend Andy (Zablocki) and he said, `That’s really cool and hey, you know what, we’ll do it too,” explained MacRitchie. “We grew up together. We lived right down the street from each other and when Blue (MacRitchie) posted on Facebook what he was doing, right away I was like, `Count us in,” said Andy Zablocki. “We told him that as a couple we would match his $147 that he had into it,” explained Zablocki’s girlfriend, Amy Brickner. “I was really surprised because that is not what I was looking for but it got me more upbeat and excited about it. It was an amazing thing that everyone who helped did,” explained MacRitchie. The group went shopping at Toys R Us on December 1st, MacRitchie’s 28th birthday. “What better way to spend your birthday than reliving your childhood. Going and buying basically just under $500 worth of toys. It was one of the more fun birthdays I’ve had recently,” he said. There was a system to the shopping as he wanted to make sure he could make the biggest impact he could with the money he had. “The gentleman who runs the Toys for Tots said they needed more of the older ages, 9-12, so we aimed for that but we got all ages as well. We wanted to get as many toys as possible so we looked for good deals, some of the things I went by what I’d like or whatever looked like a fun toy and we mixed it up evenly between girl toys and boy toys,” he explained.
“
...I think he shook my hand like three times and he shook Andy’s hand twice and Amy’s hand… it was nice.
“

In all, the group spent approximately $480, $39 over their initial pledges. Since they had seven large bags of toys the group dropped the toys off directly
to the local Marine base in Perrysburg at 28828 Glenwood Road. “We left it with two Marines and the guy who took it was really appreciative, and I think he shook my hand like three times and he shook Andy’s hand twice and Amy’s hand… it was nice. You felt like you did something nice for those in need,” MacRitchie said. MacRitchie’s motivation didn’t only supply a lot of toys to those in need of a little Christmas magic, it also helped him quit for good. “I know I’ll keep it up. Just like in this past month I don’t feel the crazy pressure on my chest that I did. I wake up and I feel clear. I feel so much better. I can go and run and my lungs don’t burn as bad. This is just coming up on a month now; imagine what I’ll feel like in a year or two years. I really want to keep it up and I know I’m going to.”

Metroparks okays $5 million for Howard Farms The Metroparks of the Toledo Area approved spending $5 million to turn 1,000 acres in Jerusalem Township into a wetland. Howard Farms, which will be the first Metropark to have access to Lake Erie, is located west of Metzger Marsh. When finished, it will be the Metroparks largest park in its system, next to Oak Openings. The Metroparks board approved the funding as part of its 2015 capital budget. Carpenter said the next step is to put the construction out to bid. “We’re taking the next step and we’re doing what we said we were going to do, so that is exciting,” Metroparks public relations director Scott Carpenter said. “It makes it official and puts it on the schedule. “Anything could happen. If the bids come back at $10 million, we’d have to say ‘whoa,’ but we don’t enter those blindly. We know what it should cost, so that puts it on the schedule and we’re off. We’ll get it out to bid as soon as we can, which should be very soon, and get it going.” Carpenter said the Metroparks is hoping that construction can begin next year, weather permitting. “We do expect it to take about two summers to get all of the earth work done,” Carpenter said. “Most of that project is moving earth. We’re basically turning it back into a wetland, which is all the earth moving and building dikes.” The $5 million is for Phase I, which includes the 700 acres on the east side of Howard Road, said Carpenter. Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Smith Group JJR was contracted for the engineering and design of the human interface of Howard Farms. That includes trails, parking, restroom facilities, and other human interface. Ducks Unlimited is consulting on the engineering and design of the actual wetlands. Ducks Unlimited is a national organization whose mission is to create and preserve habitat for North American waterfowl. Total contract cost for the two engineering contracts was originally estimated

That’s because it’s become such a nice place to walk and do bird watching.

at $250,900. The new park will create a nearly eight-mile continuous stretch of public lands that includes Metzger Marsh, Ottawa Wildlife Refuge, Crane Creek State Park and Magee Marsh. Throw in Maumee Bay State Park and Cedar Point Wildlife Refuge to the west and 11,687 acres of unique wetlands will be preserved for waterfowl habitat and public enjoyment. “We’re going to have over six miles of hiking trails, but we’re also going to have six miles of permanent deep water navigable channel,” Carpenter said. “What that is, is like a six-mile blue trail, we call it, so you’ll be able to canoe and kayak six miles on that property. We’re looking forward to this. We’re not directly on the lake, but we’re connected by Ward’s Canal. The trails are the main reason people come to Metroparks, so that is exciting to have six miles of walking trails and that will be our first blue trail, or water trail.” A lot of the vegetation common to wetlands will spring up naturally, once water is reintroduced. Habitat will also be created for turtles, snakes and other marsh denizens. The land was purchased with two partners in 2008 for $6 million. The Ohio Division of Wildlife contributed $3 million, the Clean Ohio Fund $1.8 million, and the Metroparks’ land acquisition fund $1.2 million. The partnership came with caveats. Two of them are that some portion must be open to hunting and no more than 20 percent of the land can be developed into buildings and trails. Walking Bridge At its November
meeting,
the
Metroparks also approved spending $250,000 for its North Trail Expansion at Pearson Park. “The big picture at this point is a couple things — we’d like to put a boardwalk trail out in the wetland over by (Johlin Cabin). That’s because it’s become such a nice place to walk and do bird watching,” Carpenter said. “The big part is finishing that trail that ends at Seaman Road. We put part of it in because we had the funds available to get that far, and people are always wondering as to why it just ends.” In addition, Oregon Public Service Director Paul Roman says the city will consider spending an estimated $25,000$30,000 to build a walking and biking bridge alongside the Seaman Road overpass, which will connect the Pearson trail with the city’s bike trail. The city expenditure, which is part of the city’s 2015 budget proposal, is subject to council approval, Roman stressed. He added the city would likely design the walking bridge in house and it would be a part of next year’s programming. It would become a unique partnership between the Metroparks and Oregon, so both Roman and Carpenter are optimistic. “We’re waiting for that crossing,” Carpenter said. “What we want to do is finish that trail down Seaman and along Lallendorf to connect up to the existing trail system in the original Pearson.” Carpenter said approval of the Howard Farms and Pearson trail projects join a long line of other projects that have recently wrapped up at Pearson. “This action just kind of keeps the ball rolling on these projects,” Carpenter said. “The Pearson stuff was actually a little more newer to me than the Howard Farms because Howard Farms is just a continuation of what we’ve been talking about. I was excited to see Pearson in there, too. Over the last five years, we’ve probably redone practically every building at Pearson, so this will finish all that up.” At Pearson North, a new shelter house near the Johlin Cabin recently opened. The building is designed to look like a farm out-building. The facility, which includes a shelter with a kitchenette and restrooms, will be available by reservation year round.
Council can consider permits on case by case basis By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon council approved an ordinance that clarifies when Special Use and Conditional Use permits could be approved by the Oregon Plan Commission and city council. The ordinance is in response to concerns by some on council earlier this year about the number of permits approved for used car lots and storage facilities on Woodville Road and Navarre Avenue. Council in March approved a temporary moratorium on issuing permits to car lots and storage facilities until the city could address the issue. Council passed a resolution on Sept. 22 that referred the recommended changes regarding Special and Conditional uses to the Oregon Planning Commission for consideration, according to Councilman Jerry Peach at a Nov. 24 council meeting. The

Planning Commission held a hearing on Oct. 21 and voted 4-0 to approve the recommendations and refer them back to council. The legislation allows council to consider the permits on a “case by case basis.” City Council last March approved a resolution imposing a 180 day moratorium on accepting applications for conditional uses for used outdoor automobile storage and sales and other outside storage lots. The moratorium gave the city time to evaluate and review and update the Conditional Use and Special Use regulations in the zoning code and chart its future. Zoning codes in Ohio use a number of different approaches when seeking to limit the density of certain uses within their communities, according to Administrator Mike Beazley: • Limitations on the number of a certain type of use per square mile or some other area based determination. For example, no
more than three outdoor storage or sales facilities within a square mile; • Limitations on the number of a certain type of use in a linear mile or other distance based determination. For example, no more than three outdoor storage or sales facilities within a linear mile along a roadway; • Limitations on the number of a certain type of a use based on proximity to other similar uses. For example, no outdoor storage or sales facility may be located within a thousand feet of an existing similar use. “We weren’t comfortable with those three recommendations,” said Beazley. “We want to go with a case by case approach.” The administration was concerned about possible unintended consequences associated with the above options. In some cases, it would have made it difficult for the city to consider a particular project on its own merits when other similar uses already exist in the area, said Beazley.

Opening December 6
Oak N’ Harbor Distillery to open The first-ever legal distillery in Oak Harbor will open Saturday, Dec. 6. The Oak N’ Harbor Distillery, located at 136 W. Water St., will be open from noon to 7 p.m., according to owner Joe Helle who has been anticipating his grand opening. “We are just shy of six months from the time we signed the lease to the first bottle being sold,� he said. Now that the wait is over, patrons are invited to come in and enjoy the fruits of Helle’s hard work in the form of vodka, corn whisky or lightly aged malt whiskey – all distilled on site in a 53-gallon Flute Still. Helle decided to bring the Oak N’ Harbor Distillery to the village’s storefront district after leaving his job as a police officer. “I decided to do this because it’s not exactly legal to do it any other way and there really is a niche market for these smaller operations,� he said. Membership packages are available in three levels with Gold Membership, the ultimate package, offering a reserved bottle of your choice, sample invitations, tours, a promotional shirt and an opportunity to spend the day with the owner making your

Oregon purchased three lift cots from Penn Care, of Niles, Ohio, for $128,981. The cots will allow fire personnel to transport emergency patients more safely. The fire department received a $31,958.78 grant from the Bureau of Workers Compensation for the cots, which will pay for a portion of the services. The balance of the funds will come from the fire department’s Machinery and Equipment Fund. City council included $42,835.50 in the 2014 budget for the purchase. The Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation has made funding for such equipment a priority in order to reduce on the job injuries. “The city is making an effort to make sure we‌provide the best possible care for the folks we are transporting in a medical situation, and to make sure we have the best equipment available for our fire fighters when they’re doing the transporting,â€? said Administrator Mike Beazley. “We are also making sure we’re following the best practices to control our workers compensation costs long term.â€? The lift cots “are more expensive than I would like,â€? said Beazley. “They’re still the emerging best practice for how to deal with these situations. The Workers Compensation system has provided grant money to the community to help pay for them. It’s something that helps lower our costs long term and provides an appropriate standard of care,â€? said Beazley. “What this will allow us to do is purchase and install three of the lift systems in the three current medic systems we have in stations one, two and three,â€? said Fire Chief Paul Mullen. “It will also allow us to buy the power lift cots, which, in essence, takes away any issues we may have with lifting the patient in and out of the squad. Originally, we had a budgeted amount to purchase new lift cots. When the Bureau of Workers Compensation came through, that gave us $31,900 more dollars. Councilman Tim Zale asked if the equipment could be transferrable to new squads. Mullen said the equipment can be installed in new squads that would be purchased in the future. Councilman James Seaman asked if the equipment will help personnel avoid back injuries. “I don’t think we could ever come right out and state it will diminish anything. But I think it takes away the chances of greater injury, said Mullen. The cots have a 650 lb. weight limit. They lift themselves up to the squad, which will pull them into the squad, basically alleviating any of our lifting.â€?

The Lake Township trustees have begun a review of fees and grave lot prices at the township cemetery and may increase both next year. Jeff Pettit, a trustee, said Tuesday his research of grave costs at area cemeteries indicates Lake Township charges less than most for residents and non-residents alike. He suggested the board of trustees consider raising grave prices by $100 from the current price of $300 for residents and $700 for non-residents. By comparison, the Fort Meigs Cemetery charges $400 for residents and $800 for non-residents, he said. The Clay Township Cemetery charges $120 for residents and $550 for non-residents and the St. Rose Cemetery charges $850 and $950 for residents and non-residents respectively. The City of Maumee charges $400 and $700 and the City of Toledo charges $790 for a plot with a flat stone and $1,360 for an upright stone. Board chairperson Melanie Bowen said the trustees have been reluctant to raise prices during the recent economic downturn. “We’ve tried to keep costs down,� she said, but with the cemetery on Walbridge Road experiencing a 40-60 percent burial ratio of residents to non-residents, “It’s something to think about.� She also said the trustees have been looking into the purchase of additional land for cemetery use. Initiating fees for late funerals was also discussed as a means to help cover overtime costs for cemetery workers. Pettit said the other cemeteries charge fees ranging from $100 to $250 for funerals arriving after certain times, typically 2-3 p.m. Dan Sprinski, the township sexton, works an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. shift, Bowen said, adding the township pays overtime costs for workers to accommodate later cemeteries. The trustees agreed to resume the discussion with Sprinski during their second meeting of the month.
Speed study request In other business, the trustees agreed to again request a traffic survey on Walbridge Road, from the Walbridge village limits to the I-280 overpass. The trustees would like to have the speed limit dropped to 25 miles per hour from 55. The south side of that portion of the road is in the township but the north portion is in the village and has a 25 mile per hour limit. The Ohio Department of Transportation would have to approve the lower limit. The trustees have twice before sought a lower limit for that stretch of the road. “The village has been pretty insistent,� Bowen said. “They’d like to see the speed limit reduced so we’ll try again.�

Oregon increases cemetery fees for non-residents By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon council recently approved a rate increase for non-residents for services at Oregon city cemeteries. The new rates are for lots, mausoleum access and other services charged by the city at the Willow and North Oregon cemeteries. The fee schedule was last updated in 2002. Administrator Mike Beazley said that when providing services for non-residents, fees should be more consistent with those charged by area cemeteries, which are below the market rate for non-residents. The rate schedule for residents will remain unchanged. Previously, non-resident fees were the same as resident fees. “It has been quite a number of years since we had an increase,â€? said Beazley. “We felt that we were considerably under the market, in some places almost half of what you would pay for a similar service in other area cemeteries. While we welcome our neighbors, we didn’t want to fill up our space and service capacity at the expense of the immediate future needs of our residents.â€? All the revenue from fees is used for operation and maintenance of the cemeteries,â€? said Beazley. “Additionally, the general fund contributes as well.â€? Cemetery lots for a single reserved grave and single space-available grave increased to $950 from $500 for non-residents. New fees for non-residents Interment: • Adult Monday through Friday increased to $850 from $500; • Adult on the weekend/holiday increased to $950 from $500; • Infant and child to $600 from $200; • Cremated remains in urn to $325 from $125; • Cremated remains in urn for the weekend/holiday to $425 from $225; • Mausoleum entombment Monday through Friday to $850 from $500; • Mausoleum entombment on the weekend/holiday to $950 from $600; • Mausoleum niche entombment to $600 from $200; Disinterment: • Adult to $1,100 from $700; • Infant, child and cremated remains in urn, to $800 from $250; • Mausoleum disentombment, to $850 from $500; • Mausoleum niche disentombment, to $600 from $200. Mausoleum: Level 5 crypt (top), $2,750; Level 4 crypt, $3,000; Level 3 crypt, $3,500; Level 2 crypt, $3,500; Level 1 crypt (bottom), $3,000; Overhead niche, $1,000.

Jeanne Dieterich is retiring after a 35 year career with the Sandusky County Park District. Park officials credit her dedication and hard work for helping the parks district grow throughout the years. (Submitted photo)
Dieterich plans retirement after 35 year career People The Sandusky County Park District was a much different place when started her career 35 years ago. There were only two parks in the system at the time; today the district has 14 parks and a new nature center. Dieterich is credited with playing an active role in the tremendous growth the district has experienced over the years. Her titles have changed several times over the years including Recreation Leader, Program Coordinator and finally Marketing/ Volunteer Coordinator. After her long career, Dieterich has made the decision to retire from the Park District. Steve Gruner, Director of the Sandusky County Park District believes that Dieterich was responsible for much of the growth of the Park District in the community. “She increased the amount of programs from just 50 per year to 350,� he said. “This enabled us to reach so many more people and help them learn more about nature and the Park District’s role in preserving our natural areas.� Dieterich’s responsibilities in the early part of her career included leading hikes, school programs and nature walks before a naturalist was on staff full time. As the district began to grow, she began coordinating all of the programs and then handled promotional activities including newsletters, brochures and social media. “If the public saw information about the district, whether it be through the website, newsletters or Facebook, it was a result of Jeanne’s creativity and hard work,� said Gruner. Dieterich has been active in state associations and was also very involved locally in many organizations. She received the Sandusky County Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Service Award and the United Way Mary Rectenwald Award in recognition of her community service. She notes she is proud that the Park District has worked to fulfill its slogan, “Promises made, Promises kept.� “The Park District promised that the bike trail would be completed across the county and during the last levy campaign we promised that we would complete a nature center. We kept that promise to the residents of Sandusky County. She added she is appreciative of her time with the district. “I am grateful for the numerous opportunities, relationships and adventures along the way.� Jeanne and her husband Ken look forward to having more time to fly kites and travel.

William H. Flanagan, 69, of Oregon, Ohio, passed away peacefully at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg, on November 27, 2014. He was born in To l e d o , O h i o t o William L. and Helyn (Meuth) Flanagan on March, 30, 1945. Bill was a 1964 graduate of Clay High School. He was a member of the Oregon Fire Department for 40 years, and was Assistant Chief from 1986-2006. He was a past president of the Lucas County Fire Chiefs Association, developed a Fire Prevention program to instruct children of the Oregon City Schools, and was involved with the Safe Kids Coalition. He loved serving his community, was deeply knowledgeable about the history of Oregon, and shared that history with many by volunteering as a trustee of the Oregon Jerusalem Historical Society. He was a loving husband to JoAnn (Lindell) Flanagan for 49 years and together, they raised their family in Oregon. In his spare time, Bill enjoyed woodworking, traveling with the family in their RV, researching his Irish heritage, and spending as much time as possible with his three grandchildren. He was an avid Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Detroit Tigers follower. Bill is survived by his wife, JoAnn; children, Kelly (Michael) McCain, Robert (Khristie) Flanagan; grandchildren, Lauren McCain, Colin Flanagan, and Chase Flanagan; brother, Patrick (Diane) Flanagan; sister, Madelyn Mitchell; sister-in-law, Janice (Bob) Bohmler, four nieces and nephews, as well as numerous very close family friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Helyn. Arrangements were handled by Freck Funeral Chapel, 1155 S. Wynn Rd, Oregon, Ohio. A Mass of Christian Burial was held at St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Oregon, Ohio. He was laid to rest at St. Ignatius Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the St. Ignatius Building Fund, Oregon Fire Dept. or Hospice of Northwest Ohio. Bill’s family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Alnsour and the staff at Mercy St. Charles oncology and radiology for their special care and compassion; and to the Oregon Fire Department for everything they have done.

Disregard the faultfinders in your life Letters The world abounds with faultfinders. They are the naysayers who constantly criticize, seek out problems, ridicule, blame, and always have a reason why you will fail. Regardless of how positive a situation may be, faultfinders have the ability to always conjure up difficulties. They have a consistently negative outlook. Although they typically lack experience, knowledge, or understanding, they claim to speak with authority. In actuality, their foundation is one of ignorance. The information they offer is usually wrong. Faultfinders are constantly attempting to influence you. They are often close family or friends. Even strangers who are faultfinders can impact your actions. Faultfinders become dangerous when you are concerned with changing your behavior because of their views. The root of this scenario lies in one’s seeking or needing acceptance or approval from others. A faultfinder’s criticism causes you to doubt yourself and feel rejected. Adjusting your thoughts or actions in order to mollify fault finders diverts you from your path. Regardless of what you do, faultfinders are never satisfied. Their nature is to always find fault. Therefore, all of your efforts to please them will be in vain. No matter what you do, it’s never good enough. The only result is the compromising of your goals. You are the only one who can determine the appropriate path to take. Your goals must be your own. How you attain
Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden them is based on who your are. No one has the right to sit in judgment of your life. As long as you are acting honestly and ethically, you are free to determine where you are headed and how to get there. Faultfinders should be as concerned about their own lives as they are about yours. It doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do. What you do is the issue. You must condition yourself to ignore the faultfinders. Respond to their criticism and you live life based on their terms, not yours. Knowing yourself is a prerequisite to following your own path. Do you know your strengths? How can you use them to your advantage? Can you identify your weaknesses? What steps can you take to overcome them? What are your likes? Your dislikes? Identify the goals most important to you. Paint a detailed mental picture of each goal. Formulate a step by step plan to achieve each goal. Now you are ready to take action by implementing the first step. Instead of paying attention to faultfinders, look for people who are where you
want to be. If you can speak with them in person, their advice is priceless. If you can’t, study what they have done and learn from their approach to overcoming obstacles. Not only is it impossible to please everyone, you shouldn’t even try. You are the one who must be satisfied with your direction. A constant barrage of criticisms, suggestions, guidance, and ridicule is part of life. Learn to tune it out. Some faultfinders are well intentioned. Others may be jealous of your success. And then there are also those who are malicious. Never be rude to faultfinders. You don’t need to convince them what’s right for you. Simply thank them for their input and move on. Being you own faultfinder is not good either. You are just as capable of formulating a list of why something cannot, will not, or should not work. Combining this with negative self-talk provides you with a potent formula for sabotaging success. Focus on reasons to succeed, not excuses for failure. It’s up to you to do whatever it takes to attain your goals. Ignore all of the faultfinders. Keep to your path. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Is it time to fix the overtime regulations? By Richard Kirsch There are a lot of ways that businesses are squeezing worker pay. Here’s a big one. On the one hand, millions of Americans are stuck in low-paying part-time jobs that don’t offer them enough hours. On the other, millions more are now routinely forced to work over 40 hours a week without getting a dime for their overtime labor. In many cases, that’s because employers are paying hourly wage workers as if they were salaried professionals. There used to be a big distinction between hourly and salaried employees. That wasn’t by accident. In 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which forced bosses to pay workers a minimum wage and time-and-ahalf for any hours worked over 40 a week. That law was key to building America’s middle class. Only a small percentage of employees — executives, administrators, and travelling salespeople, among others — were exempt from overtime. Yet since figuring out who was eligible for overtime proved complicated, regulators settled on one rule that trumps them all: weekly salary. By having a clear rule on salary level, it’s much harder for employers to avoid paying overtime. In 1975, for example, employers were required to pay overtime to anyone on a salary of less than $155 a week. That covered 7 out of 10 workers. But that salary limit hasn’t kept up with inflation or changes in the workforce. As a
Guest Editorial result, many businesses have been putting anyone with even minor “management” responsibilities on salary. For example, a federal court found that a clerk at a Dollar General store — who worked 50 hours or more a week stocking shelves and mopping floors — could be considered a salaried “manager,” since she was responsible for minding the store. Today, if your salary is more than $455 a week — that’s just $23,660 a year — you can be forced to work long hours without any extra pay, let alone time-and-a-half. As a result, instead of 7 of 10 workers being eligible for overtime, now it’s only 1 in 10. Last March, President Barack Obama told the Department of Labor to modernize the regulation covering who gets overtime. “Because these regulations are outdated,” he acknowledged, “millions of Americans lack the protections of overtime and even the right to the minimum wage.” To restore this pillar of middle-class income, regulators should once again ensure that 7 out of 10 workers are covered. That’s the best way to close the loopholes that businesses will use to cheat workers out of overtime. To do that, the Department of Labor
should set the new cap to at least $1,327 a week, or $69,000 a year. That level would do what the law was intended to do — namely, to distinguish between workers and bosses. As a result, 10 million workers would get more money in their wallets to spend boosting the economy in their communities. In addition to increasing the weekly salary amount, the Labor Department should modernize the rules so that the so-called “managers” at fast food restaurants, clothing outlets, and discount stores — who may be responsible for supervising their co-workers but don’t have any real executive authority — get overtime as well. Closing the overtime loophole could also increase the earnings of millions of part-time workers. Rather than paying time-and-a-half to employees they’re currently forcing to work unpaid overtime, many businesses are likely to increase the hours worked by part-time employees who are eager to work more. Overtime pay is key to restarting the middle-class engine of our economy. It’s past time for the Department of Labor to act.

Responsible police To the editor: If we are to demand responsible dog owners, then why not responsible police? The case in the Village of Woodville where the canine officer shot the lab named Moses should never have happened. Anybody who knows this dog or knows of this dog knows he is not vicious. In fact, I have never heard of a vicious lab. Police are trained to protect and to serve that does not mean pull out your service weapon and shoot a dog. If you think he was right, then go to the dog’s home and meet him. I assure you, he is not mean, vicious or aggressive in any way. I agree with the gentleman from Woodville – this is another black eye on a town that already has a bad reputation. I would bet there are a lot of people out there that agree with this statement. At the very least, the town of Woodville and the officer should be held responsible for the dog’s medical bills. Maybe then the next time, he will leave his weapon in the holster. Dan Root Northwood
Fueling unrest To the editor: Shame on the TV network dictators who jammed down the public’s throat the verdict on the grand jury’s Ferguson, Missouri decision. It took the panel three months to reach its decision, so why did we have to know the instant the verdict was revealed? It was not a national crisis or storm weather warning. Millions of TV viewers pay to have DVR. We sit with remote in hand to mute or fast forward what we do not want to hear or see. The network dictators wasted anything that was recording during the live TV interruption. They could have put the decision on the bottom of the TV screen with a time you could see a full report if you wanted to watch it. This national attention only adds fuel to the unrest that is in Missouri. Harry Mack Oregon

I think we are still struggling with the quality piece.

When my daughter faced open heart surgery 28 years ago, it was insider information that got us through the ordeal. Now, that information is emerging through the health care industry and you too will benefit. In my daughter’s case, the information came from her mother, a registered nurse. Here’s the story: My daughter was born with a congenital heart defect. A valve, restricted by abnormal tissue growth, failed to open completely. This condition causes the heart to work harder and become enlarged. My daughter faced a future in which she would not be able to play sports, have children or live a normal life span. The cardiologist at Toledo Hospital recommended open heart surgery at age one. It was the only option available to improve our daughter’s life, he said. But, open heart was risky. There was a chance of infection, stroke, pneumonia, blood clots, and a scar that would be visible. It would require a seven to 10 day hospital stay and cost, at that time, $15,000 to $25,000. Fortunately for my daughter, her mother is a nurse. She knew doctors at the University of Michigan had success using catheters to open heart valves. The catheter is threaded through a vein in the thigh and once in position a balloon attached to the catheter is inflated with enough pressure to tear the thickened tissue and allow the valve to open and close properly. The procedure was less risky, required only a one-day hospital stay and cost about $7,000. If it wasn’t successful, open heart was still an option. Dr. Robert Ehrlich, a pediatric cardiologist at Medical College of Ohio, performed the operation called angioplasty, the first done in Northwest Ohio. The operation was successful, open
heart surgery was avoided. My family is fortunate. We have a health-care professional with intensive care and operating room experience. She can ask the right questions and, in my daughter’s case, she chose the less invasive, less costly surgery. Over the years, she also has made excellent recommendations for my hip, back and knee surgeries. I tell you this because today, given the changes in healthcare, you too can have your own personal medical expert to advise you on cost and quality. These experts are part of an emerging trend. They work for companies paid for by the employer. They save the employer money by seeking out the best value for the procedure needed. They explain care options and provide quality and cost comparisons. They are particularly useful if you have a high deductible plan. Compass Professional Health Services

More of this needs to be done, states Steve Wermuth, a partner in the Columbus office of Strategic Health Care, a health care consulting firm. “Quality combined with cost is the key‌I think we are still struggling with the quality piece. We have gotten better, but we haven’t got it 100 percent right. However, if consumers go into a doctor’s office or hospital loaded with the right questions to ask about their care, treatment plan and expected outcomes‌we will get there.â€? Moving from a fee-for-service to an outcomes based health care delivery system is the goal of the Affordable Care Act. When the Republicans take control of both the Senate and the House next month will they repeal the law, or will they tweak Obama Care? Wermuth told members of the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce at a recent meeting at Little Sisters of the Poor, “The House and Senate will pass bills to repeal the ACA, then it will go to the President’s desk and he will veto it. Then, they’ll come back and do little tweaks here and there — the employer mandate, some of the taxes. “How do you, in your right mind, go to your constituents and repeal a program that has put a half million people on insurance and is containing costs?â€? he asks. If he is right, you will have more control over your health care. And, that high deductible plan, typically $6,000 per person, won’t look so foreboding once transparency peals back the mystery of health care prices.

of Dallas, Texas, The Leapfrog Group of Washington D.C. and New Choice Health of Pensacola, Florida are three liaison companies that offer cost and/or quality comparisons. For example, on newchoicehealth.com you will find an arthroscopic knee surgery in Toledo can range from a high of $37,000 to a low of $9,200. The site compares the cost of various surgeries at 20 medical facilities in the Toledo area and includes how many procedures each facility does annually. One local health care provider, The Toledo Clinic, has taken the cost comparisons from newchoicehealth.com and published them on its website and in some print publications. One recent ad showed a list price for a mammogram ranged from $262 at The Toledo Clinic to $675 at University of Toledo Medical College. Scott Porterfield, administrator of the physician-owned Toledo Clinic, said, “The Affordable Care Act is making everybody more cost conscious. It is driving it back to the consumer. If you have a $6,000-co-pay for something you need and you can get your MRI done at a hospital for $4,000 or at my place for $900, where are you going to go?� Martin Connors, vice president of Brooks Insurance and a broker who markets group medical plans to employers, agrees. He says the transparency is not only good for the consumer, but also good for business. “Not only will it save you money, but in the end, the company’s increase may not be as great in the future because you used a low-cost provider.� Compass takes it one step further and adds quality comparisons.

Spirit soars as bird design is featured By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com Most folks would agree that 2014 has been a “banner year” for Nathan Holcomb. Holcomb is an artist who receives services from Ottawa County Board of Developmental Disabilities and who works at Imagine Art Studio at Riverview Industries, Inc. His blue jay design will be among the designs that will adorn 22 banners going up any day now on the poles in downtown Oak Harbor. Each banner will also feature the name of a sponsoring business. “When RVI came to us suggesting they could create banners for our downtown area, we did a ‘trial run’ by putting up three banners in June,” said Valerie Winterfield, executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. “The banners held up, and everyone loved them.” Because the chamber had already invested in seasonal banners for the downtown area, there was no funding available to purchase banners from RVI, so area businesses stepped up with sponsorship. “We felt it was very cool to be able to get the banners locally and support Imagine Art Studio too,” Winterfield said. Holcomb’s artistic journey began when he was about 14 years old when he discovered that he loved to draw birds and superheroes. He took art classes as a student at Oak Harbor High School, where he was inspired by a deaf friend who could draw anything freehand. Though his interest waned after graduation, he recently realized just how much he missed art. “Nate started to draw sketches of his sleeping Dachshund, Scooter, and pictures of superheroes but he wanted more, so he decided to work at Imagine Art Studio,” according to Dawn Segaard, of the Ottawa County Board of DD office manager. Over the last year or so, he, has created many pieces including red bird design trav-

can to make her mother feel happy and comfortable. “Seeing my mom smile when I walk up is so rewarding,” she said. “She doesn’t know my name and calls me her sister or mother most of the time, but I still love it when she’s happy to see me.” Although having a family member with Alzheimer’s can be difficult, Bruielly says she tries to stay positive. When asked what advice she would give someone struggling with caregiving, she said, “Just go with it, let the people you care for set the pace, knowing what they like and letting them make choices and making them feel useful. Take advantage of the good times, and let someone help you during the bad.” Call 800-367-4935 or visit www.wccoa.net for more details about the programs and services offered by the Wood County Committee on Aging.
If the holiday season brings office parties and social events that have you feeling nervous or fearful, you’re not alone. We’ve all heard of office parties where a few drinks led to a terrible outcome or that family gathering where a relative decided to tell everyone just what he or she really thought of them. But holiday parties needn’t be disasters. A little planning and common sense can help ensure that a gathering will be a good time for you, not something to feel anxious about or avoid altogether. For starters, do go to that event, whether it’s an office party, neighborhood gathering or a family get-together. It’s good for your reputation to make an appearance, even if you just show up early, stay for a short time, thank your host and leave. That’s better than being a no-show, and there’s always the chance that you might enjoy yourself and want to stay. The most important tip is to avoid alcoholic drinks, the major factor in most holiday party disasters. Even one or two drinks can affect your judgment and have you saying or doing something you’ll later regret. Have a juice or soft drink (cola or club soda looks like a mixed drink) and stay in control. Planning ahead can also lessen the stress of holiday parties. Instead of worrying about what you’ll wear, ask others how they’re dressing. If there’s a gift exchange, ask what gifts or dollar values are appropriate, and avoid gag gifts that can be embarrassing. Even the most sober of partygoers can cause problems with critical and negative comments. Inevitably, those comments will get repeated to all the wrong people. A holiday party is a time to enjoy, not vent frustrations about work or other people. Lastly, make sure to use common sense and courtesy. Don’t overdo it at the buffet table. Be sure to thank your host or hosts. And avoid problem people who might be there. If there’s someone with whom you always clash, spend your time instead with people you enjoy. If someone tries to start an argument with you, simply refuse to engage and excuse yourself politely. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com Judith Smith wouldn’t go so far as to say that she’s grateful for the stroke she suffered three years ago. She is, however, thankful and more than a little surprised about what she learned about herself as she recovers and rehabs at Heartland of Oregon. Back in May, Judith and her sister Ann were discussing how they might one day be able to take stained glass classes together. Ann, wanting to encourage Judith, gave her some beads and mosaic tiles and encouraged her to create something. Judith declined, saying she wasn’t creative. “Make something that makes you happy,” Ann told her sister. Deciding to give it a try, Judith, who only uses her left hand, created a butterfly – something she felt represented the transformation that she was going through. She kept her creation to herself, hiding it so no one would see it until a member of the housekeeping staff discovered it and encouraged her to put it out. Her confidence buoyed, she went on to create more pieces including works she calls Tree of Life, Tea Pot, Fireworks, Vacation and a Happy Place. “They’re beautiful,” said Terri Dains, activity assistant at Heartland. “Every piece tells a story.” “Tree of Hope,” with dark colors at the bottom, represents her stroke; a progression to lighter beads on top symbolizes her recovery, which she’s taking one day at a time. “Judith added a picture of a butterfly as a symbol of herself,” Dains said. On Nov. 18, Dains organized a mini-art show of Judith’s works. “We had several residents, visitors and staff members come by,” Dains said. “Everyone loved her pieces…it was a really perfect day.” “The show was a complete surprise,” Judith said. “I was shocked. People were so complimentary – hugging me and congratulating me and complimenting me on my vision.” “Judith has so much willpower as she moves toward the goal of walking and eventually taking the vacation she never had,” Dains said. “She is such an inspiration.”
Parenting classes set Ottawa County Juvenile Court, in conjunction with TDH Enterprises and Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services, will offer Loving Solutions, also known as Parent Project, Jr., beginning in January 2015.
Law Office of
Thomas Dugan will re-locate to
The parent education program, based on the award-winning program Parent Project, Sr., has been adapted for parents of children ages 5 to 10 years of age. It is designed to provide specific, no-nonsense solutions to the problems faced by parents, including sibling rivalry, family conflict, poor grades, truancy, unruly and delinquent behaviors, impulsive behaviors, modern media and technology, and drug/ alcohol use. Loving Solutions offers practical and emotional support to families as they begin the difficult process of change. Loving Solutions will help parents answer these questions along with many more: What do I do when my child refuses to help around the house? What can I do when my child screams and curses at me? What do I do if my child hits me? What do I do when my child refuses to go to school? How do I improve my child’s sleep schedule and diet? Some of the tools parents will learn include self-limiting time outs, spot checks, choosing battles, creating structure, negotiating a compromise, the six-step action plan, consistency and active listening. The agencies have worked together since fall 2010 to bring to the community Parent Project, Sr., but January’s class will be a first for Loving Solutions. Classes will begin Friday, Jan. 9 from 10 a.m. to noon and will continue every Friday until March 20 in room 130 of the Ottawa County Building, 8200 W. SR 163, Oak Harbor. Certified facilitators will include Stephanie Weeks, Jean Lindsay-Dupey, and Dessa Sutherland. Parents of 11- to 18-year-olds in need of support and parenting education are invited to participate in a Parent Project, Sr. class, which will run Thursdays Jan. 8 through March 19 from 2 to 5 p.m. Loving Solutions and Parent Project classes are open to the community; participants may be self-referred or can be by social workers, diversion programs, court systems, law enforcement, mental health professionals, school officials and others. Parent do not need to be court or children services involved, the public is welcome. Classes are being made possible through an Ohio Department of Youth Services Grant. The cost/material fee for both programs is $50 for individuals or $75 for a couple (with shared book). If parents successfully complete the class (as outlined in the attendance policy) and have

All those who attempt to donate blood Dec. 24 through Jan. 4, 2015, will receive a long-sleeve Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

The Junk making a name for themselves at local venues By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
“
I grew up when hair metal was in and then there was grunge – I was into all of that stuff.
“
It’s not often that you find a local band that is unique and has that “something” that leaves audiences wanting for more. But it appears as though The Junk fits into that category. The five-man cover band, which features three guitars, the bass, drums and two vocalists, is making its mark as one of the area’s premiere acts. The band, which was a hit at the Oak Harbor Apple Festival last month, has played at Icons (formerly Yeeha’s), as well as locations in the Toledo area like Bar 145 and other parts of northern Ohio. The band, with James Hensley (guitar, keys, vocals), Kerry Tuttle (guitar, vocals), Mohom Mullholand (guitars, keys), Blaine Smead (bass) and Derek Wright (drums), has a diverse repertoire that features music from the classic rock of the ‘70s to ‘80s pop to hip hop and rhythm and blues – Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Metallica, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Snoop Dog, AC/DC, Jay Z and TLC. They also have their own original music – recordings which can be found on their website, www.the-junk.com. “For me, I would have to say a big influence was Pink Floyd, (but) it goes all over the board because I was around for Nirvana,” Hensley, 39, said. “I grew up when hair metal was in and then there was grunge – I was into all of that stuff. Sublime is also a band that I like. The guys in the band, our musical tastes are all over the board, but there’s a common core with (bands like) the Red Hot Chili Peppers.” During the summer, The Junk is very busy, usually doing shows from Thursday through Sunday on a pretty consistent basis, but during the winter things tend to slow down. “In the winter time, it gets more sporadic,” Hensley said. “Some of the places aren’t open as much, places like Dock’s, Nagoya, Margaritaville and Brass Pelican (Huron). We go full on Thursday through Sunday in the summer.”
Tranquil Touch Massage Therapy & Wellness The Junk
A five-member party band from Bowling Green, offers an eclectic blend of musical styles that range from 1970s classic rock to 1980s pop to Hip-Hop and rhythm and blues The Junk played at the Oak Harbor Apple Festival. (Photo courtesy of The Junk) At this point, the band, which has been playing cover songs together for the past seven years, usually just gets together for its weekend shows. The band members have day jobs – their weekend gigs are their “second jobs.” “We play so much on the weekends that it’s the extent of what we do,” Hensley said. “In the spring and the fall, we’ll get together and learn some new stuff. For the most part, we just play shows and that’s our time together every week.” “It’s fun,” Hensley said. “It’s the most fun second job you could have. We’re all pretty comfortable with each other. Everybody does their part; it makes it easy.” But they’ve had to work and persevere to get to this point. “Getting started out as a band that’s nobody’s really heard of, you have to pay your dues and do open mic nights where you kind of audition a bit,” Hensley said. “Once people can see that you’re good, they’ll hire
you. The thing is, there are a lot of mediocre to less than mediocre acts that get hired and are just as busy as us. We do what we do, they do what we do. Everybody wants to be good at it, and that’s what we care about.” At this point, the band doesn’t really have to do any advertising for itself. “We don’t really do a lot of work calling bars or clubs; we go by playing the places we play, and people see us and they call us,” Hensley said. “We’re starting to get more into doing weddings and stuff, too. It’s been a word-of-mouth thing and people see us play and they spread the word.” Currently, Hensely, a 1993 graduate of Port Clinton High School, and Tuttle, who graduated from Elmwood, live in Port Clinton, and Mullholand (Fremont Ross), Smead (Elmwood) and Wright (Elmwood) are based out of Bowling Green. Occasionally, Hensley and Tuttle play some acoustic shows together.

The band’s roots can be traced back to Bowling Green in 1997. Hensley moved there and started playing music on open mic nights with a man named Mike Reynolds, with whom he would begin playing acoustic versions of their favorite music as well as some original music. Meanwhile, Tuttle, Smead and Wright were playing together in a band called Brick while Mullholand was a part of two bands, Jinkies! and Jackie-O. After Hensley and Reynolds were introduced to Smead and Wright, they formed the first incarnation of the band, Crazy Eddie. Shortly thereafter, Reynolds left the band and Tuttle joined. Over time, the group made a name for itself in Bowling Green while forming a bond with one another and growing as musicians. Mullholand became affiliated with the group when he and a drummer named Hank from Jinkies! joined Tuttle and Smead for a side project called “Television’s Grandpa’s Junk.” In 2004, Tuttle decided to move west, signaling an end to Crazy Eddie’s run. Smead, Mullholand and Hank asked Hensley to join T.G.J., which the band shortened to “The Junk.” After playing together for a while, Hank decided to move on, Tuttle moved back and he and Wright joined the band, making the group what it is today.

Top three Northern Buckeye teams dominate All-Press By J. Patrick Eaken and Jeffrey D. Norwalk sports@presspublications.com There was no arguing that Eastwood, Genoa, and Lake were the top three teams in the Northern Buckeye Conference. The Eagles won the NBC championship, Genoa was runner-up with its only loss to Eastwood, and Lake lost to both the Eagles and Comets. However, in both of Eastwood’s wins over the Comets and Flyers, it came down to a possession or two either way who was going to win a championship. On the All-Press first team offense, Lake, Eastwood, and Genoa players make
up 14 of 17 players, when you include special teams. Because of Lake’s two losses and a weak non-conference schedule, the 8-2 Flyers (5-2, NBC) did not qualify for the playoffs, while Eastwood (9-2, 7-0) and Genoa (8-3, 6-1) did. The Flyers offense was under the direction of NCAA Division II University of Findlay-bound senior quarterback Jared Rettig, a Division IV second team All-Ohio selected in Associated Press voting who was injured in a non-league win over Northwood, then re-injured against Eastwood, and as a result, missed at least two games. The 6-foot-1, 198 pound Rettig still threw for 1,876 yards, completing 76 per-
cent of his passes (101 for 133) and 21 touchdowns and is this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Offensive Player of the Year. Rettig also ran for 217 yards (6.4 per carry) and five touchdowns. During Rettig’s junior year, his Flyers made it to the Division IV state playoffs, where eventually the clock stroke 12 on their season at the hands of No. 1 seed Caledonia River Valley, who sent a suddenly-late-resurgent Lake team home, 36-25. Wire-to-wire in 2013, the quarterback completed 138-of-212 passes for 2,347 yards, 31 TDs, and only six interceptions, on his way to leading Lake to an 8-2 record overall, and a burgeoning 5-2 mark and third place finish behind champion Genoa

and runner-up Eastwood in the NBC. In Rettig’s sophomore campaign, Lake didn’t come close to sniffing the playoffs, nor did they even finish with a winning record, ending up at 4-6 overall, and 3-5 in the NBC. But, it was during that “growing up” year, that Rettig started to rock the proverbial “glass slipper,” breaking the all-time Flyer passing record with 2,838 yards, for 32 TD tosses while going 176-of-278. “He’s got that professional mentality,” Lake coach Mark Emans said. “He comes into practice every day, and does all of the little things right. Jared just wants to see

our team be successful, and he’s never really been a real big personal stats guy. So, I think in the big picture, (Rettig knew) his stats will come and his success will continue to take care of itself.” Meanwhile, waiting in the wings behind Rettig is one who also shares the same last name in little brother Jake, a 5-11, 204 pound sophomore who led both the freshman and junior varsity squads a year prior. When Jared was hurt, it was Jake who took a lot of reps this year to prepare him for the future, completing 23 of 45 passes (51 percent) for 338 yards and five TD. “Jake has just done a nice job for us,” says Emans, “and again, we’ve built our offense around his older brother Jared, obviously. But, when Jared leaves after his senior year, we don’t want to have to change our whole offense up again. And that’s the nice thing about having Jake on our team. He can step up for us at any time, and run the same kinds of things Jared runs.” Also getting votes for Offensive POY were first team all-state Genoa senior running back Jake Wojciechowski (2,076 yards rushing, 8.5 per carry, 21 TD), Gibsonburg senior quarterback Matt Tille (1,087 yards rushing, 7 yards per carry, 2,168 yards passing, 50.2 percent completion rate, 40 touchdowns ran or thrown for), and Waite senior quarterback Jeremy Pratt (1,329 yards rushing, 6.4 per carry, 1,247 yards passing, 24 touchdowns ran or thrown for). Wojciechowski lost to Rettig by one vote, while Tille finished three votes back and Pratt four behind Rettig. Twenty voters consisted of the 10 area football coaches and 10 media members, mostly representing The Press and Toledo Sports Radio television broadcasters, and even though the POY option was open to anyone, they were the only four receiving votes. Also on the first team offense and defense is third team All-Ohio Genoa kicker Cody Pickard and two honorable mention all-state picks from Lake are first team offense — senior flanker Todd Walters and junior running back Branden Short.

Also getting votes were Central Catholic outside junior linebacker Zach Sandwisch, Northwood senior nose guard Myles Habel, Eastwood senior linebacker Grant Geiser, Gibsonburg senior linebacker Tyler Hovis, Clay senior linebacker Aaron Seymour, and Wojciechowski, also a linebacker. Among first team selections is Associated Press second team All-Ohio lineman Chris Orcutt, a 6-1, 208 pound junior tight end.

Woodville’s Zach Sandwisch plays role in state title By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
“
He would always be willing to teach me things...he brought so much more knowledge to me.
“
Sixteen months ago, there was no way Woodville native Zach Sandwisch could have envisioned himself in this position. After tearing his ACL against Wauseon as a Woodmore sophomore in a scrimmage in August of 2013, Sandwisch was in a difficult position. He lived, ate and breathed football, but would have to miss the entire season after a devastating injury and with it, the possibility that colleges would be reluctant to recruit him because of his knee. Now, he’s the starting middle linebacker for 13-2 Central Catholic, which won a Division III state championship Thursday night by defeating previously undefeated Athens, 56-52, at Ohio Stadium in Columbus. Sandwich is joined on the Irish roster by Alex Thompson of Oregon. Sandwisch, who couldn’t begin playing until week six because of transfer rules, rotated in and out of Central’s 61-9 win over St. Francis, and since then has played nonstop. “It’s amazing to be at this point,” he said. “Every high school football player’s dream is to play for a state title. Coming from a small town, transferring to Central is huge. It’s amazing at Central. Coming into this game, I wouldn’t change it for the world. Some kids don’t get this at all. Going with my guys, it’s amazing. Our whole CCHS community is behind us. To have that feeling and know they’re behind you is amazing. “When I was leaving my home school, I’m thinking I won’t have any friends, (but) right when I walked in that building, I was accepted. Everyone there is doing their thing while making friendships. I love Woodmore with how they started me off and now I go to a bigger school to get my recognition, to be challenged academically and to be at a religious school.” Despite only playing in five regularseason games, Sandwisch’s performance earned him a spot as first team linebacker on the Alan Miller Jewelers AllPress Team. Five of his teammates have also received accolades this year, including three defenders — defensive lineman Christian Ward, linebacker Colin Kaucher and defensive back Stephon Campbell. Sandwisch, who remains proud of his Woodville roots and speaks fondly about Woodmore, says there were advantages in transferring to a larger school that become a perennial state championship contender. “It was big,” he said. “I got noticed at Woodmore by Toledo, I got an offer from Toledo as a freshman. It’s big at Central because you have college coaches visiting. Coach (Mike) Tressel from Michigan State came to visit, and there’s a coach from West Virginia who knows how important high school football is to me. He wanted to make a trip to see me and say, ‘Good luck’ for this game. For a coach just to come up from that far away, just to say good luck is impressive.” The Irish almost didn’t get to this point. In the first round of the playoffs, Central fell behind to the No. 8 seed, Rocky River, by 21 points early in the second quarter before rallying to defeat the

The 35-19 win over Bowling Green in the regional semifinals wasn’t any easier. The Irish twice led by one point (7-6; 14-13) and by two points, 21-19, early in the fourth quarter before scoring two touchdowns to put the game away. Playing for Doug Seifert The win over BG was the most bittersweet for Sandwisch, however. “I didn’t have that good of a game against Bowling because my uncle, Doug Seifert, died,” Sandwisch said. “I was half in the game and half thinking about my uncle. Five years ago, he was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer and (the doctors) gave him three months to live. That was big because he was my godfather, and his wife, Vicky, she babysat me when I was a kid. I was very close to that family. “We know that he’s in a better place, (and) he’s not in pain. He’s listening to us, he’s protecting us.” Seifert left behind his wife and three kids, Austin, Ashley and Brennan, a senior at Eastwood who plays football and track who was a part of the 4x400 relay team that won the state title for the Eagles last spring. Brennan is an All-Press second team punter this year, narrowly defeated by first team choice Cody Pickard (Genoa) in voting by coaches and media.
After losing to Clyde last year, Central got their revenge in the regional final by defeating the Fliers, 35-3, and then beat Trotwood-Madison, 17-14, in the state semifinals. The Irish had defeated the Rams to win the Division II state championship two years ago. Sandwisch came up with a key play in the win over Trotwood-Madison, forcing and recovering a fumble late in the second quarter that set up a 22-yard field goal by Brock Quinlan that put the Irish ahead 10-0 heading into the half. Those three points turned out to be the difference in the game. “They were in an I-formation and the fullback came right at me and I got around him and I hit the ball out (of the running back’s hand),” Sandwisch said. “I wasn’t even trying to hit the ball out and it came out and it was right in front of me.” Central also won the Three Rivers Athletic Conference title with a perfect 7-0 mark. However, the Irish started off the season slowly, losing two of its first three games before turning things around. Sandwisch says his love for football started with his backyard battles with his brother, Jon, who is currently quarterback at NCAA Division III Heidelberg University. Jon had a prolific career during his three years as a starter for the Wildcats. He accounted for over 6,500 yards of total
offense and 52 touchdowns in four years, throwing for 5,027 yards and 37 touchdowns while completing 50.2 percent of his passes in the process. “When he started pee-wee football, he would bring home his pads and we would play tackle football,” Sandwisch said. “We have a big yard so we would go outside and play football sun up to sun down; we had an outside light that was big, and we played into the night. It’s in our blood. Whenever my brother comes home from college, he gets done with something and he’ll say, ‘Do you wanna go lift?’ He’s so knowledgeable about lifting, and he’s passing that on to me. We always want to go work out or do something sports-related to get him better. I want to do everything I can to get better, to get my teammates better.” Unfortunately, Sandwisch never got to play football with his brother, who was a senior when he was in eighth grade. “I was the ball boy and water boy at Woodmore (in junior high), and I was heavily involved with everything,” he said. “I talked to him after games, about everything that happened. We would always have those Friday night talks. He would always be willing to teach me things. He was a quarterback and he read what the defenses were doing — he brought so much more knowledge to me.” Sandwisch credits both the Central and Woodmore coaching staffs with helping him to better understand the game. On Twitter, he was even getting encouragement from the Woodmore athletic department officials despite transferring. “(Central defensive coordinator) Nick Toth is an amazing guy, he’s got a good personality,” Sandwisch said. “I wouldn’t trade him for the world. He gets on my butt because he knows that if he gets on me, I’ll do better. If I tie my shoes the wrong way, he’ll get on me. He knows if he pushes me, I’ll do great things, I’ll do better things.” “(Central head) Coach (Greg) Dempsey is an awesome guy, our staff is awesome. I don’t really know a lot about offense — they run everything. Whatever he sees that (the offense) could be good at, he uses; we are an ‘everything team.’ They’ll change up the offense (based) on what the defense is doing. Our coaches are very flexible. They go with anything that they could see us succeeding with. You can see our three Ws — quarterback Marcus Winters, running back Tre’Von Wade and running back Michael Warren — they’re all very good athletes. You can see Coach Dempsey teaches them well, and they feed off him. It’s amazing the knowledge Central coaches have and what they’ve taught me.”
Two new coaches with Catholic roots take the helm By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Cardinal Stritch Catholic girls’ basketball is on its third head coach in three years, but they return a solid nucleus of five full- or part-time starters. They also have a new coach who brings a sense of Catholic familiarity to the program. First-year coach Cathy Hanek hails from Youngstown, where she played as a 5-foot-8 guard at Ursuline High School and then at Youngstown State University from 2000-05. She was hired as Stritch’s new coach back in June, after coaching at five colleges and one high school (Lowellville, Ohio) since 2006. Hanek said her Catholic school background made Stritch “a good fit for me.” “I was sick of moving around,” she said. “I wanted to settle down. I’m teaching here, too, so I can use my teaching degree.” Hanek added that her coaching philosophy depends on the strength of her team. “I’ve been lucky to coach at a lot of different levels with different types of teams,” she said. “It starts with what we have to work with. I was a defensive-minded player when I played, and I definitely expect my

teams to work hard on defense. It doesn’t take a ton of skills to be a good defensive player. I like to play fast, if we can. A lot of that depends on how you’re playing defensively. Hopefully, our defense turns into offense. “We’re going to have to play with a lot of energy. I expect them to compete every time we’re on the floor, regardless of who
we’re playing. We have some tough kids who want to win and don’t like losing. Hopefully, that turns into some wins for us.” She’s not the only new coach in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference who brings a Catholic background. First-year Gibsonburg coach Courtney Schuster played basketball and soccer at Lake
Catholic High School in Mentor Schuster takes over for John Ernsthausen after coaching the Fremont Ross freshman team the past two seasons. This is her first season as a varsity head coach. “We’re a defensive-minded team,” she said. “We’ve been stressing being a fourthquarter team since conditioning. We will be doing a lot of full-court pressing and we’ll be a half-court man-to-man team for sure. Offensively, we’re looking for motion. We don’t have a lot of height, but we have quick girls who have a good eye on the court and a sense of when to attack the basket.” For Gibsonburg to be successful on the court, Schuster said senior guard Leann Widmer will have to bring her biggest strength, which is her leadership “Being the only senior with varsity experience, she has really brought the girls together and pushed them,” Schuster said. “She has the capability to shoot the three and attack the basket, which is something we’re trying to instill in our girls right now. She will play a lot of different roles this year.” (Photos of coaches by Innovations Portrait Studio/InnovationsVisualImpact. com and Doug Karns/KateriSchools.org)

The Press Box Work ethic set Waite, Clay apart Two coaches in charge of east side Division I boys basketball programs love the work ethic that their teams are showing. Waite coach Adam Rodriguez likes the “basketball smarts” his team has, and Clay coach Rob Belegrin likes the effort his players are giving. Both are optimistic about the grueling grind ahead of them. “The chemistry is great. They find each other, they share the ball, and they get along off the court, which I think is important,” Rodriguez said. “You don’t always have to be the best team, but if you all gel together, that goes a long way.” But what could set this group apart is their intelligence. Rodriguez can’t talk enough about the smarts his kids possess. “We have some pretty smart kids,” he said. “If you’re disciplined off the court, you’re probably disciplined on the court,” Rodriguez said. “We’re trying to change the culture, and I think it is working. We won three games my first year and seven last year. I don’t expect to win any less than at least 12 games. “We’re going to surprise people, and it’s because they worked hard, committed and they’re willing to sacrifice to win. We kept some of these guys because they’re good teammates and good students in the class. It’s going to be hard for us to decide who’s going to play. Whoever works hard that week will play.” Asked to describe how the Clay Eagles have looked in the preseason, Belegrin uttered these three words: “We’ve looked young.” Clay graduated all five starters from last year’s team, including 1,000-point

scorer Pat Booth and Anthony Ramirez, who was among the top five scorers in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference a year ago. “This is a very young team with five sophomores, five juniors and only one senior on the roster,” Rodriguez Belegrin said. “This is exciting in the fact that they work extremely hard on defense and on the boards. A big focus is where the scoring is going to come from. We hope a few guys can take the reigns and become a solid threat to score every time down the floor.” Belegrin says Lima Senior is the favorite to win the TRAC championship. “They didn’t lose anyone from last year’s team,” he said, “and they have guys who are only juniors who have been play-
winner Jake Woodrum and all-conference forwards Andrew Pappas, Dylan Berg and Cody VanHersett. The Eagles’ top returning scorers are senior defenseman Devin Gabella (14 goals, 12 assists) and junior forwards Chandler Cannon (11 goals, 13 assists) and R.J Stringham (9 goals, 10 assists). “We expect those three to lead the team in points again this season,” Heck said. Clay’s top returning line consists of Cannon, Stringham and Gabella, along with senior forward Andrew Sterling and junior forward Adam Burns. The second line will consist of senior forward Collen Carpenter, junior forwards Justin Heck and James LaPlante, junior defenseman Ben Malczewski and sophomore defenseman Jared DiMario. Coach Heck said those two lines could lead the Eagles to the White Division title “if they play to their potential each and every game.”

Clay seeks division title Clay’s hockey team graduated a talented portion of last year’s lineup, but that doesn’t diminish what coach Mike Heck expects of this year’s Eagles. “I expect this group to win the (Northwest Hockey Conference) White Division championship and the end-ofseason playoffs,” Heck said. “They have shown us that they have the talent to do so, by emphasizing team play and hard work. I consider us a veteran team because we return two solid lines from last season and we gained experienced players to our roster.” Last year’s team finished 18-16 overall, including 7-6 in the White Division.

Clay’s Clere, Genoa’s Billegas earn All-Ohio honors By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There were two area soccer players that stood out this year. Clay’s Karleigh Clere and Genoa’s Makennah Billegas were those two players, and for their efforts this season, they earned All-Ohio honors. Clere was named to the Division I AllOhio First Team and Billegas earned second-team, All-Ohio honors in D-III. They joined Lake midfielder Jordyn Taylor and Eastwood forward Maddie Cherry, who were both D-II second team. Clere and Taylor were also Alan Miller Jewelers AllPress Co-Players of the Year. However, Clere’s all-state award was unique. Of the 18 players selected on the D-I team, 17 were seniors with Clere being the only underclassmen. It was a well-deserved honor for Clere, a sophomore who was second on the team with 11 goals and first with 21 assists, good for a team-high 43 points. “I wasn’t expecting (to be named AllOhio),” Clere said. “I was sitting at home and (Coach Scott Wamer) called me up. He had informed me that he had been going down to Columbus and had been talking about me (to the voters). And he told me there were 17 seniors and I was the only sophomore and how it was a great accomplishment.” Clay was just as impressive, going 150-2 in the regular season, winning a Three Rivers Athletic Conference title, their second in three years, and a sectional championship before falling in heartbreaking fashion to Notre Dame Academy, 2-1, in double overtime in the D-I district semifinals. Of the 15 wins, the Eagles won every match by at least two goals, save for their 2-1 victory over St. Ursula. Their first playoff match came against Bowsher, whom they defeated, 7-0, but the NDA Eagles had their number, scoring the winning goal in the final minute of overtime. “Obviously, it was a little disappointing ending your season that way,” said Clere, who has been playing soccer since she was 5. “From last year to this year, we came a long way. We’re already getting into the weight room and getting ready for next season. I’m excited and I’m ready for next season knowing everyone’s putting in the work. We’re going out there to go farther in the tournament. It’s all about getting there and getting farther and hopefully having a better record.” Clere, was joined by four of her teammates, Alex Vartorella (13 G, 6 A), the team’s leader in goals, Sydney Hess (9 G, 4 A), Sami Heintschel (5 G, 8 A) and Reagan Clark (3 G, 4 A), in scoring at least 10 points this season, a sign of the Eagles’ balance and versatility. “It’s always nice to be scoring the goals,” Clere said, “but there has to be someone that’s willing to step back and dish the ball. I didn’t really care if I scored as long as the team won. Even if I didn’t have the most of goals, I take pride in my 21 assists.” Along with Vartorella, Clere formed a potent one-two punch at the forward positions with Hess and Kara Simon as the outside midfielders and Clark and Hannah Jahany inside. Heintschel and Rachael Kuecher were the inside defenders and Jenna Kidd and Alyssa Heck played on the outside with goalkeeper Olivia Hornyak

protecting the net. Defenders Josie Verb and Hannah Gerard and midfielders Marisa Vislay, Haley Dominique and Haley Clere also played a vital role in helping Clay to an undefeated regular season. Kim Nagel, who played midfielder and forward, and midfielder/forward Jena Kulwicki, midfielders/defensemen Marissa Brezvai and Caitlyn Kuecher and goalkeeper Shawny Canada contributed as well with some seeing time on the junior varsity and varsity squads. The team will lose four seniors, including Kidd, Heck, Simon and Rachel Kuechler, meaning they’ll have the vast majority of their key players back next season. Amazingly, all 11 starters earned honors in the TRAC and on the All-Press Team. Clere, also the conference’s POY, was on the first team, as were Hornyak, the All-Press Goalkeeper of the Year, Clark, Heintschel and Hess. Simon and Rachel Keuchel were named second team All-TRAC and Jahany, Heck and Kidd earned honorable-mention distinction in the league. Clere, who also plays basketball and runs track, certainly has the respect of her coach. “She’s done all the right things,” Wamer said. “She’s involved with the Olympic Development Program and has been a member of their team the last three years. She’s done everything right as far as her preparation and getting the technical skills she needs. I’ve had some awfully good players, some record-breaking players. I’ve had some outstanding players, (and) she is the youngest player that I’ve had that has gotten first team All-Ohio. When you have a record like we have, you’re recognized across the state as a top-five team, your top player will probably get looked at more than usual. She definitely benefited from the team’s success. The sky’s the limit for her.”
more, making her recognition as an AllOhio player that much more impressive. She is Genoa’s first girls’ soccer player to get second team all-state. “It was a bit of a surprise,” Billegas said. “It is an honor, especially as a sophomore. Everybody was telling me it’s the experience that everybody wants, and I couldn’t have done it without my coaches and teammates.” With eight goals and seven assists, Billegas, a midfielder, was instrumental in helping the Comets improve from 6-9 to

9-4-4 and win a sectional title. According to Lipstraw, it is Billegas’ cerebral side, specifically her vision and instincts that set her apart. “The thing that makes Makennah so effective is her ability to the see whole field,” Lipstraw said. “She brings a different dynamic to our team, and she sees things play out in her head before they happen. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to soccer, and knows how to work with her teammates on setting things up. I trust in Makennah’s instincts and her ability to make quick decisions.” “You have to have a good connection with all of the players on the field,” Billegas said. “You have to connect with your forwards, that how the goals happen. You have to be able to talk to them and be able to know each other and how they play. We know each other very well and we know the game and the passes we make.” Billegas credits Lipstraw and the assistant coaches with helping to motivate the players and instill confidence within them. “Our attitudes and our passion for the game was much different than last year,” Billegas said. “A big difference are the coaches, they love us dearly. The attitude they have for the game helped us out, too.” Billegas, who has been playing soccer since she was 4, was second on the team in goals with eight and led the club with seven assists. Lipstraw notes how Billegas’ athleticism was a key factor in her ability to chase down the ball and win key battles. It’s something that helped make her a great defender as well as a capable scorer. Forward Molly McGhee led Genoa with 14 goals and finished with two assists and five other players — Billegas (8 G, 7A); Kaylee Buhrow (6 G, 1A); Madison Sheahan (4 G, 4 A); Alysia Henly (3 G, 4 A); Sydney Wagner (3 G) — all scored between three to eight goals. Goalkeeper Emily Edwards allowed only 12 goals with three shutouts.

The true value of life is determined more by our outlook than the external circumstances of our life. And although everything can be looked at in various ways, those people who are genuinely the happiest are usually the people who maintain a positive attitude despite the difficulties of their life. The stoic philosophers were fond of saying that it is not things which disturb us, but our view or judgement of things. When we simply change the way that we look at things, amazingly the things themselves will change. Ultimately, we

eek: Changing Our Outlook should ask ourselves how we view the universe and our place in it. Do we see it as a hostile or a friendly universe? This is perhaps the most fundamental question in determining our perspective on life, and we would do well to consider that God is in control and that events are unfolding exactly as they should, despite external appearances to the contrary. Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. R.S.V. James 1:2-3

— PUBLIC NOTICE — On Friday, November 14, 2014, according to a news article in a local Wood County newspaper, Brad Espen, of The Wood County Health Department announced "new septic system regulations will likely begin in January". He continued citing that "fewer than half of the estimated 14,600 homes" were installed with a Wood County permit. He is assuming the remainder are not in compliance with the Health Department regulations. The new regulations, Mr. Espen speaks of, also put a greater licensing burden on the septic haulers, such as N.A.T., with multi-county and multi-truck registration, bonding, education, testing and reporting requirements. These requirements, along with the yearly rate increases, planned by the wastewater treatment plants, for septic waste disposal, will cause the costs of servicing a homeowner's septic system to skyrocket. The reporting requirements, placed on the hauler by the Health Department, will be a "key" to locating the out of compliance septic systems. They can require the inspection and evaluation of the system. Thus, as the hauler services his customers needs, he brings financial grief to the homeowner in both a higher cost of pumping as well as a possible costly Health Department citation or order. During the past three years, N.A.T. has lobbied our elected and appointed officials heavily in Columbus. During this time an appointed official made mention of "possible regulatory casualties." Some minor adjustments were made, but, for the most part, the hauler becomes an agent of the Health Department. Private businesses should have no role in regulatory enforcement. Homeowners will not re-act favorably to the hauler reporting to the Health Department. N.A.T. has a business that is based on customer loyalty. We must be able to provide undivided loyalty to our customer. The reporting requirement places this loyalty in question by creating a conflict of interest, which cannot be resolved. We cannot risk losing the loyalty of one customer, let alone a large percentage of 14,600 possible customers. Our customers are our friends and neighbors; we cannot and will not operate under these conditions. With that in mind, if the new law takes effect, which is most certain, N.A.T., will no longer license itself for the pumping of residential septic systems. After more than thirty-five years in residential septage pumping, our last day will be December 31, 2014.

Hi, my name is Mr. Thomas Rumbles and I am looking for a forever home. My foster family named me Thomas because I am going to be a big Tom Cat someday and Rumbles because when I am happy my purr is so loud it makes my crate rumble. I am 6 months old and my fur is soft, fluffy and black except for a white patch on my belly. I am very gentle and cuddly and crave non-stop attention and even come when I am called. I am scared of dogs so a home without any would be best for me! I will make a great family pet! Small adoption fee of $20 which pays for my neutering and my favorite toys. If interested please contact Stephanie at 419-266-2292.
