By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Asbestos was being removed from the three remaining buildings at the former Woodville Mall beginning last week, with demolition planned soon afterwards.

Midwest Environmental Inc. is abating the asbestos from the vacant Tireman, Elder-Beerman, and The Andersons stores, according to Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson.

“Last Monday, they started taking asbestos out of the old Tireman Store,” he said.

The main mall structure was razed in 2014 due to structural issues. Before the three remaining buildings could be torn down, the city was required to remove the asbestos.

The city accepted the bid of Midwest Environmental Inc. earlier this year for $1,947,000. The contract runs through the first quarter of 2018.

“It’s going to take months to abate and demolish the buildings,” said Anderson.

Midwest Environmental will be teaming up with D&R Demolition on the project, he added.

“Midwest Environmental will be doing the asbestos abatement, which will be at least three quarters of the cost of the project. Most of the time will be spent taking asbestos out of the buildings. D&R will then demolish the buildings, which won’t take long at all.”

Developing the site The city received a low interest loan from the Ohio Water Development Authority to fund the asbestos removal.

“The Ohio Water Development Authority is the agency in charge of Brownfields loans. So it will only pay for abatement, but not for costs associated with demolition,” he said. The city will have to pay for the balance of the cost, which Anderson estimated to be about $600,000 for demolition.

Once the buildings are abated and removed, the city, which owns the property, will look for developers for the site.

Manhole cover damage baffles district

By Press Staff Writer About 14 plates under manhole covers in the Millbury area have been intentionally damaged, resulting in storm water draining into sanitary sewer lines, according to the Northwestern Water & Sewer District, which has reported the damage to the Lake Township Police Department.

According to Tom Stalter, the district’s manager of engineering, a contractor working on a sewer project for the district noticed a square hole cut into the plastic plate under a manhole cover recently, apparently to drain standing rain water.

“We don’t know when it happened. We don’t know if it happened after this recent rainfall or if it was done months ago. It’s hard to tell,” Stalter said. “It’s pretty much

spread throughout the town from what the contractor tells us.”

The plates - called no-flow dishes - are designed to prevent storm water from infiltrating the sanitary sewers.

“Someone took a saw and cut nice square holes. They actually spent some time doing it. You have to remove the manhole covers first,” Stalter said. “The problem is we’re not allowed to have storm water going into our sanitary system. It’s illegal to put it into our sanitary system. It’s kind of odd they were spread throughout the town and were done the same way. So it’s obvious it’s the work of one person or a group of individuals.”

Persons with information about the damage should contact the district at 419354-9090.

Mall Razing Continued from front page “We’ve been thinking of many ideas.

But the city will not act as a developer on the site. It’s not government’s responsibility. We will be selling it to somebody. We will seek help from commercial developers, real estate agents, and even from the public on what they think should go in there,” said Anderson.

Some ideas have included the desire to see townhouses combined with commercial development at that location, he said.

“We have a million ideas, but no plans.

It would be great if some company wanted to move there.”

The mall, which was built in 1969, was shuttered in 2011 after officials from the Wood County Health Department and the City of Toledo toured the structure. They found a leaking and collapsing roof and ceiling, mold, wet carpeting, no heat and an inoperable fire suppression system.

The Andersons decided not to renew its lease with the mall due to the deteriorating conditions of the structure, and closed in 2013. Northwood sued the owners of the mall after they failed to make needed repairs. The city eventually acquired the property through a sheriff’s auction last year.

Navarre Avenue safety improvements underway The Navarre Avenue Safety Improvement Project, which will reduce traffic crashes and improve safety upon completion, is currently underway.

The $5 million project involves implementing various safety and aesthetic improvements along Navarre Avenue, between I-280 and Isaac Streets Drive.

“Things are on schedule, and it’s going very well,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman.

The project will include the construction of seven U-turns, a median along Navarre, with bump-out and median openings to accommodate U-turns and emergency access. The project includes a public access road between Wheeling Street and Navarre Avenue located northeast of the intersection, with right-in and right-out access to Navarre Avenue to serve businesses and provide emergency vehicles access.

The project will also involve upgrading traffic signals, the addition of a second left turn lane for southbound Wheeling Street, resurfacing to improve pavement skid resistance, waterline replacement and other related work. It is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

“

When constructing the center median, motorists won’t be able to make left-turns.

“Right now, they’re constructing the bump-outs at U-turn locations, where curbing gets moved further from the road to allow for the turns. Once they have that, they’ll start working on the center median,” he said.

The access, or service road between Wheeling Street and Navarre Avenue, has been constructed.

“The road goes between Tim Hortons and Arby’s. When it comes out to Wheeling,

it lines up with Hollydale. So that’s in place. People are definitely using it,” he said.

While there won’t be any detours, there may be some inconveniences to motorists when the median is being constructed, he said.

“When constructing the center median, motorists won’t be able to make left-turns.

That’s the only difficult part of the project,” he said. “With construction, there’s always some congestion. We’re asking people to be patient.”

Utility contractors in February worked within the city’s right-of-way along Navarre Avenue and Wheeling Street to install conduits to bury existing overhead utilities that cross the roadway.

“We have much of the underground work done,” said Roman, “including the replacement of a waterline as part of the project.”

The city has received grant funding from the Federal Highway Administration through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the project.

“The grant pays for 90 percent of construction,” said Roman. “It goes toward the U-turns, median and service road. It doesn’t go toward the waterline replacement, or the decorative lights in the median. Those are paid for with city funds.”

To complete the program, an applicant must submit a registration form, attend the general workshops, complete six of ten electives and participate in the National Association of Towns and Townships (NATaT) legislative session hosted by the Ohio Township Association.

Enrollees have three years to complete all requirements, and receive recognition following completion. The academy is designed for township officials, administrative staff and individuals who serve on township committees, boards or task forces to enhance their leadership and decision making through additional training.

Water treatment plant

Oregon prepares for ozone treatment Last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted that Western Lake Erie will experience a significant Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) this summer. Oregon’s Harmful Algal Bloom infrastructure improvement project will be ready to make sure microcystin, a toxin released from HAB, does not get into the water supply.

The $15 million project, which will treat water with ozone, has been under construction at the water treatment plant for months. It will be completed this summer.

The ozone equipment is being installed right now,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman. “Once it’s in, we’ll be doing a test run.”

The ozone treatment of water promises to be very effective in treating microcystin, the toxic algae that caused a two day tap water ban in Toledo in 2014. Ozone treatment will also improve disinfection and treatment of other organics, as well as lower disinfection byproducts from chlorination, which will have the added benefit of improving the taste of drinking water for Oregon water customers.

“If you look at a lot of other communities that go with ozone treatment of water, they do it for odor and taste. With us, that is clearly a benefit to it. But we went with it because it destroys microcystin,” said Roman.

Though Oregon was not affected by the microcystin that shut down Toledo’s

There is also a 12:30 p.m. performance on Friday July 28, with a special discounted rate for field trips for local summer programs and youth organizations.

This classic favorite, based on both the book and Disney movie of the same title, features toe-tapping numbers like “The Unbirthday Song,” “How Do Ye Do,” and “Zip-ADee-Doo-Dah.” “It’s got everything,” said executive artistic director Aimee Reid. “It’s full of upbeat songs, lots of wild and wacky action, lovely costumes and choreography.”

tap water, it has taken a very proactive approach to improving water quality in the last several years.

“We’re lucky,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. “The ozone treatment will be completed this season. We really wanted to get it done in case there was a bad microcystin year. The ozone will obliterate that.

It will take out the risk of us worrying if the algal bloom is horrendous, and having to worry about the water being undrinkable.

With ozone, that’s not a possibility. It’s the latest and greatest technology.”

Fewer chemicals The project consists of applying ozone to settled water and modifying filters for Biologic Active Filtration (BAF). Ozone breaks up contaminants into very small particles, which are so small that the city’s filtration system was not enough to properly remove those contaminants from the water. BAF, which goes hand in hand with ozone, is the use of natural microorganisms that will remove the contaminants and further oxidize and remove material from the water.

Ozone treatment will also lower Trihalomethanes (TMHs), a byproduct of chlorine, which is used to disinfect the water. Some studies have shown TMHs, in

higher concentrations, can cause adverse health effects, including cancer. said Roman.

“The amount of chemicals we will have to add before it gets to your house will be lessened dramatically,” added Seferian.

“Our water,” said Roman, “will be an overall better product. It’s definitely the way to go,” said Roman.

Short delay Roman said there was a short delay in getting the ozone equipment, but the filters are already installed.

“The new filters are online. They’re in service,” said Roman. “We’ll have better filtration than we had before. But the ozone equipment is at the plant and is just being installed now. And we’re hoping to get things running a lot further in the next two to three weeks.”

The goal was to be up and running by the end of July, he said.

“We had these delays in getting the ozone generator. Getting that equipment is where we had delays. We were about a month behind getting that equipment. So we’re catching up. We’re close. We’re in pretty good shape.”

The project is being funded with a grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC), and a 0 percent loan through the Ohio EPA from its Water Supply Revolving Loan Account Fund. The loan will be paid over 20 years with a capital improvement charge that will be included in consumers’ water bills.

“It will be just like our wastewater plant expansion. We will establish a capital improvement charge that will basically pay for the loan. A lot of people look at it as a rate increase. But it will come off the bill once the loan is paid. That is a little different from how other communities do it. We’re putting this charge on to pay our financing for the project. Also, we have a lot more water users than sewer users. And we have a lot of industries that are big water users. So that helps bring that price down for that capital improvement charge,” said Roman.

Clean Streams getting the lead out Partners for Clean Streams is seeking volunteers to help collect derelict fishing line and lead from the banks of the Maumee River.

The fourth of six public Get the Lead Out (GLO) programs of the summer will be held on Tuesday, July 25 from 6-8 p.m. at Side Cut Metropark in Maumee. If water levels are too high on the day of the cleanup, those who come to volunteer will instead participate in a general trash cleanup of areas near the river at Side Cut. Volunteers should meet in the Riverview parking lot at Side Cut (the park-

ing lot where the playground is). Trash bags and gloves will be provided. Please wear close-toed shoes and clothes that can get wet.

Teams will work along various portions of the river, all within the park. Volunteers walk in the shallow water of the river and along its banks, collecting lead and line that had snagged during the spring fishing runs. All the lead will be sold and reused, and the fishing line will be recycled.

Family donates bench to Genoa park, site of reunions

By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com

“

None of the Drakes live in Genoa... none ever have.

“

From the first sun-kissed days of spring, through the waning warm days of autumn, Genoa-area families can be found getting some fresh air and exercise at Genoa Veterans’ Memorial Park.

The park, described on the village’s website as “the most prominent jewel in Genoa’s crown of entertainment resources” is also popular spot for larger gatherings.

“July and August are the busiest months because of class and family reunions, so plan ahead,” the website cautions to those considering reserving a shelter house at the park for a planned event.

Like they have been doing for decades, the Drake family put in their reservation early for a pavilion for their family reunion.

On Saturday, July 29, about 30 members of the family will come together to catch up, share some food and have a little fun.

There will be the “Ohio Drakes,” who all live around the Stow area; the “Michigan Drakes” who all live around the Troy area, and the “Indiana Drakes” who are coming from Northern Indiana – and one family member coming from Nashville, too.

None of the Drakes live in Genoa... none ever have.

So how did they end up having their reunions at Veterans’ Park, and why do they keep coming back?

It all started in 1967 when Bob Drake and his wife Bobbie, who were living in Stow, were looking to meet Bobbie’s parents, who lived in the family hometown of South Bend, Indiana, to get a bicycle for Bob and Bobbie’s daughter, Kim. “No one can actually remember how they found the park in Genoa,” said Leslie (Drake) Shoemaker, daughter of Bob Drake’s brother, Dennis and his wife, Doris.

“It was a quick exchange since they do remember it was raining that day,” she said. “Later that fall, they had a family get together and they all met at the park.”

The family are descendants of Mary Brunner and her husband Jim, of Mishawaka/South Bend, Indiana – that’s where they raised their three sons – Don, Bob and Dennis.

“When my uncles and aunts married, that’s when they left Indiana,” Shoemaker said. “Don and his wife Barbara moved to Michigan.

“Bob and his wife Bobbie moved to Ohio,” she said.

Dennis and Doris stayed in Indiana.

The family reunions at Veterans’ Park continued after that first year. Over the years, seven more grandchildren (in addition to Kim) came along.

“As we kids got older, we found out that our parents normally planned these reunions in the fall so that they didn’t have

to worry about us wanting to swim in the quarry,” Shoemaker said. “It didn’t work every year, and we all have memories of swimming.”

The families took a brief respite from their annual trips to Genoa in the early 1980s, as the younger Drakes were heading to college and getting married.

“We went back to the reunions in Genoa in the late ‘80s and have had them ever since,” Shoemaker said.

“Sadly, we have lost our grandparents and Uncle Don but we have added spouses to seven of the eight grandchildren, along with 15 great grandchildren, and as of this fall, two of those greats will be married, and I’m sure another generation will be coming along soon,” she said.

“We have no plans of stopping the reunions at this point,” she added.

With 2017 being the 50th anniversary of that first family meeting at Veterans’ Park, the Drakes wanted to plan something in celebration.

“We wanted to do something special for the park, so I spoke with Parks and Recreation Director Mike Thomas and Mayor Ken Harsanje, and they suggested a bench,” Shoemaker said. “I called Bright Ideas in Akron, where the park got its other benches, and we all chipped in to buy one.”

The bench features the inscription, “Donated by Drake Family 2017.”

“Our family has no real ‘attachment’ to the Village of Genoa, but after 50 years, it’s safe to assume we have a true love for this community, and we wanted to thank the village and especially Mike Thomas and the park department for always remembering our family and making sure we had a pavilion for our reunions,” Shoemaker said.

“The Drake family is always a good family to have at the park,” Thomas said.

“They bring a nice crowd and the enjoy the park and the swimming quarry.

“It is very nice of them to donate a park bench to the park and we are very appreciative,” he said. “I will make sure that it is located near the large shelter house so that their family and everyone else can see it.”

Bicyclist recounts tale of Sacagawea, the Bird woman

“

Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on June 4 to resume his 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 corner.

Or the time she barely escaped a flash flood with William Clark, her husband, and her baby just seconds from being swept away by a raging torrent.

Greetings,

“

She was just a girl…a young Shoshone girl of 16 years, living so far from her Rocky Mountain home along the banks of the Knife River hundreds of miles to the East.

She remembered the day well four years before at the Three Forks of the Big River near her mountain home when the Hidatsa warriors came and took her. She and her friend had been gathering berries for the night’s meal when she saw them.

They were upon her as swift as an arrow loosed from a bow it seemed. Her friend made good her escape, but she was their captive. And then they began to ride — for days it seemed — towards the land of the rising sun.

She told the warriors her name was Sacagawea…they called her Sakakawea, or Bird woman. In her new home at one of the Hidatsa Villages on the banks of the Knife River she was purchased by the Frenchman Toussaint Charbonneau to be his wife. Her soul was gentle and kind, but Charbonneau treated her and his other wife roughly at times. But she persevered.

She remembered the day, too, a few years on when the white men appeared in their large canoes, and how different these strangers seemed; but they were friendly, and gave many gifts, and she liked them immediately. The two leaders, Meriwether and William, wanted her and her husband to act as interpreters and accompany them toward the setting sun and the Great Western Sea of which they spoke, even though she had just given birth to an infant son.

She would become significant to this Corps of Discovery on their voyage to the Western Lands and back, demonstrating a courage and bravery equal to that of any of the men of The Lewis and Clark Expedition.

There was the time when the canoe she was in overturned and she calmly gathered the captain’s journals and scientific instruments out of the swift Missouri currents while hanging on to her infant son.

Or the time she barely escaped a flash flood with William Clark, her husband, and her baby just seconds from being swept away by a raging torrent.

She fell ill at the Great Falls of the Missouri and almost died of a putrid fever, but the Great Spirit smiled on her and brought about her recovery.

Her spirit soared as they approached her native land in the Rocky Mountains and she was able to point out familiar landmarks to the men of the Corps.

Her value proved inestimable when translating for William and Meriwether with her own Shoshone tribe in The Expedition’s desire to secure horses to cross the mountains. What surprise and emotion overcame her when she realized that the Chief of her Shoshone tribe to whom she was speaking was her own brother.

Her presence and that of her baby with

Al Thompson stops on the Lewis and Clark trail to learn about Sacagawea and her significance to the Corps of Discovery on their voyage to the Western Land.

The Expedition was a sign of peaceful intentions to other Indian nations who may have been wary of the white strangers.

And her voice — that soft voice around the fire at night, and the cooing of the infant, Little Pomp, must have been a pleasing sound to the men of the Corps of Discovery, and a reminder of home and loved ones who had been so long absent from them.

Returning to the Knife River Villages after their long and arduous voyage, Meriwether and William took their leave of Sakakawea and her family, and there must have been a true sense of sadness without them as the Lewis and Clark Expedition proceeded on down the Missouri to St. Louis . . . and eventually to their homes which they longed to see.

William Clark, writing to Charbonneau, would say the following of Sakakawea: “Your woman who accompanied you that long dangerous and fatigueing rout to the Pacific [Ocean] and back deserved a greater reward for her attention and services on that route than we had in our power to give her.”

Charbonneau had received $500 for his services, while Sakakawea received nothing. I think it can be said though that the value of this young Shoshone woman to The Corps of Discovery was far more than any amount of money.

Knife River Indian Villages I had the great pleasure to revisit the Knife River Indian Villages which I had seen on my Lewis and Clark journey back in 2005. When Lewis and Clark arrived in this area close to today’s Bismarck, North Dakota, there were about 5,000 Hidatsa and Mandan people living in five villages — two Mandan and three Hidatsa. Sakakawea was living in one of the Hidatsa villages on the banks of the Knife River which fed into the Missouri. They lived in earthen lodges 30 to 60 feet across constructed of timbers and covered with earth. Each lodge could accommodate about 15 to 20 members of an extended family, including their best horses and dogs — most likely very cozy during the long and brutal winter months.

The lodges were so close together, there was barely room to walk between them.

Today, you can clearly see the depressions left in the ground where the lodges once stood. And a recreated lodge gives you a sense of life in a Hidatsa or Mandan village. Standing in the middle of one of the depressions where a lodge once stood, I thought to myself that this could very well have been the lodge where Sakakawea and her family slept, prepared food, played games, and carried on their lives.

Not far from the Knife River Villages is the reconstructed Fort Mandan. This was the fort that The Corps of Discovery con-

Owens Authen-i-cut

structed in order to shelter during the brutal winter of 1804/1805 when at one point the temperature dropped to 42 degrees below zero!

It was during this winter that The Lewis and Clark Expedition forged significant bonds with the Mandans and Hidatsa Indians whose villages were close by: the men of the Corps and their Native American hosts traded, formed friendships, played games, entertained each other, hunted together…and the men of the Corps even came to the defense of the Mandans and Hidatsas against their traditional enemies, the Sioux.

When the Lewis and Clark Expedition returned to St. Louis on September 23 of 1806, hundreds of people lined the shores to catch a glimpse of the explorers who had been given up for lost by almost everyone.

They had been gone for 2 years, 4 months, 10 days, and now they were back.

Folks…what a tale of Undaunted Courage!

So I’m leaving the Lewis and Clark Trail now, and heading due east toward Fargo, and the Minnesota border.

I’m well past the halfway point of this last leg of my journey. I’m now over 1,500 miles into it, with possibly 1,100 to 1,200 miles to go until I see my front door once again.

I have now received over 50,000 hits on my website, which I’m happy to see. The more the better. Once again, don’t be shy about spreading the word to friends, family, work associates, golf or tennis buddies, etc. about my ride, and more importantly, the two causes for which I’ve been riding. I’ve had a number of donations come in from people who don’t know me, but were just told about my ride by someone on my Updates list. Many thanks to you for spreading the word!

With that in mind, we’re on the road to $31,000 in combined donations to Habitat For Humanity and Save The Children. I say “we” and not “I”, because it is you folks who have made this possible!

by John Szozda buy a few packs, once across a cemetery, at dusk, to avoid the busy streets we were not allowed to walk on. The return trip at dark overloaded our senses and it was the only time we walked to that carryout.

Dave and I, both Tiger fans, listened to Ernie Harwell on our transistor radios, played marbles, rode bikes, and explored the woods abutting our neighborhood. We also discovered golf together. Dave’s father was the only dad in the neighborhood who wore a suit and tie to work. That elicited a degree of admiration, and more importantly, he knew something about golf and we needed an adult to accompany us on the Par Three course.

It seemed, from watching tournaments on television, golf was a quiet game that involved little emotion. How wrong I was.

On that first tee, Dave’s dad miss-hit his first shot, slammed the club into the ground and uttered words I had never heard from an adult. Game on.

We also had slot hockey and basketball games designed for two players. These games encouraged interaction and a sense of fair play. If you don’t play nice, you don’t play.

This sense of fair play also manifested

“

...We had limited options for solitary fun — shooting baskets in the driveway or throwing and catching a ball off a pitchback, a sort of vertical trampoline. Boredom was common. The lack of options fostered friendship.

“

My best friend during childhood died earlier this year. We were like brothers through grade school, then we drifted apart. Can’t remember exactly why. No falling out. We were just on different roads.

Then I went away to college and later travelled and the distance between us and the demands and passions of life pushed the memory of him into some storage locker in the back roads of my mind.

I stumbled into that storage locker when I ran across his name while searching for something else on The Web. When I opened the door, the memories flooded back. It was a much simpler time, a time when imagination trumped electronics and boys and girls, not adults, organized games.

Without electronics such as video games, cell phones and the internet, we had limited options for solitary fun — shooting baskets in the driveway or throwing and catching a ball off a pitch-back, a sort of vertical trampoline. Boredom was common.

The lack of options fostered friendship. Dave and I spent countless hours playing a game we invented, at least I think we invented it. We drafted players from the baseball cards we had and played games using a deck of poker cards. We kept statistics, doing the calculations in our heads, or long hand on a yellow tablet until we wore out our erasers and rubbed holes in the paper.

We were so nuts about getting the newest baseball cards that when we heard of a new series being issued we’d walk miles to

itself at the neighborhood sandlot. We never had enough players to play bases out, or to allow hits to all fields. So, we also played right field out because we all batted right-handed and hit the ball to left field.

Except Dave, who hit it to right. Every time. Into the creek. This created two situations which had to be solved. First, if Dave couldn’t hit to left, why would he play if he was an automatic out? In time, we adopted

Indecision can result in lost opportunities Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden more you understand about yourself the easier it is to choose the right path.

Bouncing your ideas off of others is a common approach. Discussing your options with friends and family is done with the hope of getting another take on your situation. As well-meaning as they may be, other’s opinions are based on their view of the world. Advice they provide is biased by their experiences, likes, and desires. Their suggestions are based on who they are.

You have to follow your own heart.

After making your list of pros and cons, ask yourself, “What do I really want to do?”

The answer points you in the right direction. If something doesn’t work out as expected, you can always make a change.

Decisions are not set in stone. They can be changed or adjusted as needed.

After making a decision, constantly monitor your progress. If you drift off course, or decide you are not happy with where you are headed, make any necessary changes.

If you make a bad decision, make sure you identify what is happening and why, and then make a better decision. Stop doing what is not working. Repeat those types of decisions which produce desired results.

Figure out what you want to do and then go do it. Change your mind as needed.

As you start making decisions, your level

“

Decisions are not set in stone... Change your mind as needed.

“

Making decisions can be challenging.

Fear of making the wrong decision is a driving force. There are so many competing factors contributing to indecision; what you want, what you don’t want, the opinions of others, reasons to make a particular decision vs. reasons not to, as well as the ever present element of procrastination.

Indecision leads to waiting. While you are waiting, various opportunities may vanish. Indecision can cause problems to worsen or multiply. Indecision permits time or other people to make decisions for you.

Age magnifies the potential impact of making the wrong decision. As we get older, we feel there is not enough time to do things over if we make the wrong choice.

This puts more pressure on us to get things right the first time.

It’s impossible to guarantee that whatever decision you make will be the right one for you. Life requires constant adjustments or course corrections. All you can do is make the best decision possible based on what you know at the time, combined with your current circumstances.

Decisions shouldn’t be impulsive.

Thinking things through always enhances decision making. You learn from experience what works and what doesn’t. If you feel you are always making bad decisions, determine what is happening and why.

Let’s look at some ways to break through indecision. Making a list of pros and cons is a good analysis tool which helps provide a measure of objectivity in making a decision. In order to effectively formulate reasons for and against a particular decision, you must first know your own needs, desires, likes, and strengths. So the

of indecision will drop. Before you know it, you will be looking forward to making decisions.

Life is a fluid series of experiences.

The more experiences you have, the richer your life. Don’t allow fear to stop you.

When analyzing your various options, ask yourself what’s the worst that could happen? Usually the worst case scenario isn’t really that bad. One of the biggest regrets of people in their later years is that they should have done more.

Stop being indecisive and start making decisions which work for you. Monitor your progress, making new decisions as needed. As you become comfortable making decisions, you’ll no longer be indecisive.

the call-your-own-field strategy and for Dave it became left field out.

Second, if a ball was hit into the creek, you had to get it out quickly before it became waterlogged. Dave still hit them into the creek, but now instead of being outs they were ground-rule doubles and all of us scrambled to find the ball.

Not everyone had a ball, or a bat, or a mitt, so we had to share and play nice or someone might go home and take the only ball or the only bat we had. Game over.

The lessons we learned about leadership, fair play and social interaction stayed with us a lifetime. The majority of children today do not have these same opportunities. They have more solitary electronic pursuits—video games, cell phones, the internet, i-pads etc. Virtually all their sports play is organized. Adults pick the teams, determine who plays, set the rules and settle disputes.

Stepping too much into the electronic world can lead to attention deficit disorder, cognitive delay, impulsivity and violent behavior, some studies have shown.

I’m not saying my childhood was any better than that of my children, or my grandchildren, but stumbling across Dave’s obit on the internet sparked the memories of that childhood. Somewhere between that non-electronic age with little adult supervision, and the highly electronic and organized play time we have today, there is a better way to help children make the journey to adulthood.

Dave also endured one of the worst abuses of adult authority I saw as a child.

He was made to stand in front of his class — third or fourth grade — with his finger up his nose. It was an effort to teach us not to pick our nose. Dave survived this humiliation and abuse without bitterness.

He went on to earn his college degree, worked as a state examiner and treasurer of a school district in central Ohio for more than 25 years. He married and had a son.

He died in April of this year at age 66. One of the comments on his legacy page was “Uncle Dave, you were one of the kindest people I ever had the privilege of knowing.”

That he was. Now he’s gone and so too is that time we grew up in.

At the fair, livestock exhibitors are always champions Fresh Country Air

by Matt Reese

“

I’ll never forget the heart-to-hearts I’ve had with exhibitors and their families, and the lifelong friendships.

“

When the Ohio State Fair recently put out the list of exhibitors from every Sale of Champions (SOC) since the first one in 1968, I really enjoyed taking a few moments to read through the list. Johnny Regula, auctioneer for the Sale, did too.

“I have always felt the SOC is Ohio production agriculture’s chance to showcase our products — our boys and girls and our livestock. You take the list and look at the names of these exhibitors from the beginning and look now at what they are doing in agriculture, they are all leaders.

That is what this program does,” Regula said. “You see these little dynasties. Here recently one of those might be the Banbury family. Going back you had the Westlake family do the same thing. In cattle you had the Shane family and in hogs you had the Islers and the Jacksons and then you had Rusty Coe. It is really hard to do that.”

Ohio State Fair General Manager Virgil Strickler has really enjoyed getting to know some of these exhibitors through the years as well.

“I’ll never forget the heart-to-hearts I’ve had with exhibitors and their families, and the lifelong friendships I’ve made,” Strickler said. “I remember my very first year as Agriculture Director in 1993 talking with the Banbury family about the excitement of being a part of this great fair.”

The later-in-life success of former SOC exhibitors goes to show that the founding efforts of Gov. Jim Rhodes to start the first Sale of Champions in 1968 were a right-ontarget investment in the future.

“It is great to see how the kids showing livestock have evolved and gone on to succeed in other segments of the industry,” said Mike Bumgarner, CEO of United Producers, Inc., who had the grand champion steer at the 1975 Sale of Champions.

“The show ring is just a small segment of the industry, but it is a big stepping-stone.”

Buyers at the Sale continue to step up their bidding efforts, and the appeal of those hard working exhibitors keeps the buyers coming back.

Gov. Rhodes was such a promoter that all Merlin had to do was sell them. He pretty much knew who was going to buy them before the sale. That is not the case now,” Regula said. “Every year I walk into this Sale of Champions and I know who is going to play, but I don’t know who is going to buy and what the animals will bring. What you see happening is happening. It is real.

And now we are seeing, more often, multiple buyers going together to buy animals where in the past it was just Bob Evans or just Wendy’s. I have no idea what it is going to bring. It is a real auction and it is very important to these boys and girls. It is no different than if you have an outstanding athlete. This is our way of providing scholarships for the best of the best.”

Be sure to attend the 50th Sale of Champions on Aug. 6 at 2 p.m. at the Ohio State Fair.

Bill Chapin had the 1968 grand champion market lamb in the first Sale of Champions. (Photo courtesy of the Ohio State Fair) “It used to be that the buyers were after a certain animal — they wanted the hog or the steer. Now, much like the county fairs, it depends a lot on the individual and their family,” Regula said. “That is why certain animals bring what they do because of who the exhibitors are.”

A big part of the livestock auction business is getting to know the exhibitors and their families, which is something Regula has really enjoyed through the years.

“I have had relationships with a lot of these families for many years,” Regula said.

“What is fun for me is that now some of the people I sold for are grandparents and I am

selling for their grandkids — that makes it special.”

The highlight of the 50th Sale of Champions will be the same as it was in the first Sale of Champions: the exhibitors.

“In this day and age of fast moving things and social media, it is a blessing that we are still doing this 50 years later.

The reason is still the same. In 1968, Gov. Rhodes wanted to help the boys and girls that won and provide them with some type of a scholarship and this was the best way to do it. He called auctioneer Merlin Woodruff and Merlin jumped on board and it has been going on ever since. Merlin’s relationship with the Governor was special.

Rail crossing to be reviewed by state agency

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Rail Development Commission plans to hold an on-site inspection meeting of a rail crossing in Lake Township next month to determine if there is a need for safety improvements.

An email message from the ORDC to local authorities was read during Tuesday’s meeting of the township trustees by Jeff Pettit, who chairs the board of trustees.

The crossing at Walbridge Road, between Lemoyne and Pemberville roads, is operated by Norfolk Southern.

The inspection, which the ORDC is calling a ‘diagnostic review” is scheduled for Aug. 10 at 10:30 a.m.

Levy request goes forward In other business, the trustees approved a resolution to proceed with placing a levy request on the November ballot to fund emergency medical service in the township.

Township officials are placing a 1-mill levy on the ballot.

If passed, it would generate about $230,000 a year The township contracts with LifeStar for 24-hour EMS service. The current contract will expire in April 2018.

Under the agreement, LifeStar provides an emergency vehicle and paramedics who are housed at the township’s administration building.

An 0.8-mill levy to fund EMS operations has been in effect since 1990 and generates about $120,000 annually, he said.

Health District urges residents to take Post-flooding caution Wood County Health District is urging residents in and around flooded areas to take precautions to help prevent disease and stay safe.

Heavy rains can create conditions that affect private wells and drinking water.

Flood waters and runoff may contain fecal material from overflowing sewage systems, agricultural and industrial byproducts and other contaminants that can affect water supplies and cause water-borne illness.

Wells located in pits, basements and low-lying areas are especially susceptible to contamination. To avoid illness, it is important for residents and businesses that were impacted by flooding to make sure their water is safe to drink.

Any well that has been submerged by flood waters should be pumped out once the floodwater recedes, then thoroughly disinfected and tested to determine that the water is safe.

Residents with private water wells who think their well may have been impacted by flooding should contact the Wood County Health District for information on disinfecting and testing water from a well.

For information on well chlorination, go to http://www.woodcountyhealth.org/ envhealth/private_water.html.

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer The Benton-Carroll-Salem School District is hoping that it can convince the state government to change the way it views the district’s financial situation.

With a possible property devaluation of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station looming, future tax revenues to the school district could be impacted.

But with the help of Representative Robert Cupp (R-Lima) and Senator Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green), two amendments that were added to the state government’s budget, which was recently passed, could allow B-C-S to be viewed in a more favorable light by the Ohio Department of Education.

“Two amendments were crafted specifically for our school district. This changes how the state government looks at the school district’s value and how it’s (determined),” said B-C-S treasurer Cajon Keeton.

“House Representative Robert Cupp put language in and what it would do is, for school districts that lost a certain amount of value overnight, like we have, instead of looking at a three-year average, the government would look at a more current picture.

Ultimately, that would yield B-C-S schools $300,000 in projected additional monies in 2019. I’d like to note that we’re losing $2.7 million (this coming year), with a full $5.3 million loss the following year. There is a greater appreciation for school districts with a nuclear power plant in their backyard. That’s something we’ve really hit

“

...we’re still a topperforming school district in Ohio, and we will continue to be.

“

All-in-One-Day

home with our own legislature, the House and Senate leaders. FirstEnergy does not get to vote on our levy, it’s our business leaders, our farmers, and our residents. We feel we’ve made our message clear.

“We were much more pleased with the second amendment, which was from Senator Randy Gardner. It forces the Ohio Department of Education to recommend to the legislature how to fund a school district when they lose X percent of their value, and B-C-S would fall into that category. When, or, if Davis-Besse devalues, the Ohio DOE, in collaboration with B-C-S, will have to submit a recommendation on how to fund the school district. While that does not give us extra money, we like that amendment a lot more because it will put us back at the table. People understand you cannot lose $5 million and operate like you did the year before. We were going into this budget season two steps back, and the state government had to get a balanced budget and there were cuts all over the place, so

for us to be guaranteed a certain amount of money was very difficult. That’s why we’re very happy with the outcome.”

B-C-S has cut its expenses and Keeton credits the superintendent, Guy Parmigian, with managing the situation.

“He does a great job. He does a very good job at evaluating every position as it comes open. As staff members leave the district, we’ve been successful at not replacing positions in the past,” said Keeton. “Next year, we’re likely going to save $400,000 by not replacing school employees.”

As far as a levy is concerned, it is a possibility, but that won’t be known until Davis-Besse undergoes its valuation.

“At this point, we have not had those conversations (about a levy), and a big reason for that is we don’t know as a school board how much a mill would bring in because of the devaluation. Our goal is to have the least amount of impact on our local taxpayers. We are a community with a nuclear power plant and there are certain risks and certain benefits,” said Keeton. “A long time ago, before I was born, they told our community that opening up a nuclear power plant in this community would be great because of all the tax benefits. Now the tax benefits are going away and we’re hoping to get help from the State of Ohio.

“What we’ve told people is that DavisBesse has operated in our school district for 40 years, and there have been some really good times and really bad times. When it’s all said and done, it’s still here, and we’re still a top-performing school district in Ohio, and we will continue to be.”

Journeyman collegian David Nutter

After Adrian gridiron stint, Maryland could be next

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Former Genoa football standout David Nutter sure gets around.

After graduating from high school in 2014, Nutter moved to Canton, Ohio, to play for Malone University for one season.

He transferred to Adrian (Mich.) University prior to the 2015 season to play for head coach Jim Deere and the Bulldogs.

If everything falls into place, Nutter will be working at the University of Maryland in College Park a year from now.

“I played as a freshman (at Malone), which was nice,” said Nutter, 22, who rushed for 31 yards for the Pioneers, a Division II program. “It just came down to the program. We went 1-10, with that one win being an overtime win, and I just wasn’t a big fan of the school. There was nothing wrong with it. It was just different.”

Nutter, a 5-foot-11, 231-pound tailback, rushed for 347 yards and two touchdowns on 86 carries as a sophomore at Adrian. As a junior last season he played in four games and rushed for 289 yards and a team-high six touchdowns on 74 carries before a shoulder injury ended his season.

“I got a concussion the first game and only played half of that game,” Nutter said.

“I tore ligaments in the AC joint when I ‘trucked’ a kid running the football in the third quarter. I had 130 yards in the first half against Albion and I was having a pretty good season until I got hurt.”

The Bulldogs finished 4-6 and 2-4 in the nine-team Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 2016, losing their final three games of the season.

Nutter, a second-team All-Ohio selection and a National Scholar Football Foundation Award winner as a senior at Genoa, said one reason he chose to play at Adrian was financial.

“I had a tuition exchange through my mom’s work,” he said. “There was a list of schools where I could go for free, and Adrian was on there. It was the best team on the list, football-wise. It was kind of a no-brainer.”

Nutter said he contacted Adrian offensive coordinator Harry Bailey about possibly playing for the Bulldogs, a D-III program, in 2015.

“I just said, ‘I’m transferring from a D-II school and looking for somewhere to play,’ ” Nutter said. “I said I was interested

Adrian University running back David Nutter works his way through traffic (Photo courtesy Mike Dickie/Adrian Athletics) in coming there. Coach Bailey said to come on a visit and I liked what I saw. I went on a visit with a couple coaches and they showed me around. Adrian is Division III, so we’ve got some good players. We have players who could play at Malone.”

Nutter, an avid weightlifter dating back to his prep career at Genoa, said Adrian’s top-of-the-line facilities was another reason he wanted to play for the Bulldogs.

“We probably have the best weight room in D-III, and it’s sponsored by Hammer Strength,” Nutter said. “Everything is comparable to top D-II and low-end D-I schools.

They take care of their athletes and they have good facilities.”

Nutter said he is on schedule to graduate with a degree in exercise science next May. His goal is to become a strength and conditioning coach.

“I have (scheduled) some internships with some D-I schools — Maryland, Cincinnati, Ohio State — once I graduate,” Nutter said. “Maryland is a for-sure lock.

Going to Maryland and being part of a Big Ten football team would be sweet.”

Nutter added that he’s looking to make up for lost time this season, after injuries derailed his junior campaign. He expects to be a starter in the Bulldogs’ backfield this fall.

“My injuries haven’t held me back at all,” Nutter said. “I’ve healed well. We’re not losing that much and we’re getting a lot (of players) back. This will be like a comeback year for me and that has been motivation heading into this year. I’m hoping we can get a conference championship and just go from there.”

Nutter is the son of Jon and Cheri Nutter.

Detroit rockers Sponge coming to Hensville The Detroit alternative rockers of Sponge are set to perform August 4 at Hensville Park as part of the Fleetwood’s Tap Room concert series.

Sponge will perform on the Owens Corning stage at 9 p.m.

Toledo’s premier all-90s band, the Skittle Bots and DJ Shaun Russell from Wyld Stallyns get it started when the gates open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are on sale.

Sponge was formed in 1991 by Vinnie Dombroski, Mike Cross, Tim Cross, and Joey Mazzola. All were formerly of the hard rock band Loudhouse. Sponge was signed to Sony Records in 1994 but have since switched to other labels.

The band recruited Jimmy Paluzzi on drums to round out the lineup. Their debut album, Rotting Piñata, released in 1994, was a major hit, received heavy play on radio and MTV, and was certified gold by the RIAA. The two biggest singles from that album were "Plowed" and "Molly" but by the end of 1994 Charlie Grover replaced drummer Paluzzi. Their follow-up album was called Wax Ecstatic; the track "Have You Seen Mary" was included in the Kevin Smith film Chasing Amy. Sponge released its debut album Rotting Piñata in 1994 earning massive airplay on radio stations across the country. Singles “Plowed” and “Molly (16 Candles)” landed on MTV and the No. 5

Hot & Cold?

We’ve Got You Covered

spot on Billboard’s Modern Rock Charts.

The album hit Gold and ultimately Platinum status. The band’s sophomore album Wax Ecstatic has songs that were featured in popular films “The Craft” and “Chasing Amy.” Still going strong after decades of creating and performing, Sponge will command the stage and put everything into it for a great show.

Lawn GA tickets include access to the main lawn area inside the intimate Hensville Park. Lawn chairs are permitted.

General admission first-come, first served seating is also offered on Fleetwood’s Patio. To purchase tickets call 419-7254367 or visit www.hensvilletoledo.com.

Lake’s Sydnee Behlmer one of four heading to Lourdes Lourdes University head softball coach Jo Ann Gordon announced the signings of four student-athletes to begin playing for the Gray Wolves this upcoming season, including incoming freshman utility player Sydnee Behlmer (Lake).

Also joining the Gray Wolves are transfer Alexis Nowowiecki (Macomb Community College) and incoming freshmen Kim Waters (Belleville, Mich.) and Alyssa Ziegler (Archbold).

“This incoming class is very versatile and athletic,” Gordon stated. “This is something I have been looking for over the last five years and I am happy to bring in student-athletes who run well, are strong with their bat, versatile on the field, and strong in the classroom.”

Behlmer is a four-time second team All-Northern Buckeye Conference selection. She drove home 95 runs during her career with the Flyers and also set the school record for most wins by a pitcher. Behlmer was a four-time team Most Valuable Player at Lake.

Behlmer’s senior year she was a second team Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press pitcher and utility player selection. She batted .333 (22 for 66) with 21 runs, two home runs, 21 RBIs and eight stolen bases. In the circle, she went 13-8 in 140.2 innings, allowing 142 hits, 105 runs, 62 earned runs, striking out 139 with a 3.09 ERA, but she says Lourdes is considering her mostly for an infield position.

Behlmer was also a setter and a fouryear starter on the Flyers’ volleyball team.

She admitted, however, that softball is by far her favorite sport. She’s been playing on travel teams since she was 8 years old, which Lake coach Dave Rymers says becomes apparent every time she steps foot on the field.

“She’s very good at making sure people around her know what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. She has played a lot of softball in her career and she acts as a second coach on the field,” Rymers told The Press.

Upon her arrival at Lourdes, Behlmer plans to major in early childhood education. (— sportswriter Mark Griffin contributed)

Three Rocket harriers Matthew Gibbons (Clay) and Jacob Wistinghausen (Oak Harbor) are beginning their junior season running for the University of Toledo cross country team.

In 2016, Wistinghausen was first on the team and 27th overall at the Eastern Michigan University Fall Classic (16:09.5 5K) and second on the team and 24th overall at the Bradley Classic (27:06 8K).

Wistinghausen placed fourth on the team and seventh overall at the Toledo Opener (personal best 15:56.2 5K), 40th overall at the Mel Brodt Invitational (36:00.6 8K), 63rd overall at the Mid-American

As a freshman, he competed in six races, including running a 10K time of 34:47 at the NCAA D-I Great Lakes Regional championships. He finished 71st at the MidAmerican Conference championships with an 8K time of 27:18.5, ran a season-best time of 26:29.1 at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational, placing 59th, and placed 22nd at the Brodt Invite with a 5K time of 16:48.6.

In 2016, Gibbons finished 19th overall in the Toledo Opener (collegiate PB 17:37.5 5K), 29th overall in the Brodt Invitational (29:40.4 8K), 83rd overall in the EMU Fall Classic (17:56.8 5K), 100th overall in the Bradley Classic (PB 29:36.9 8K) and 186th overall in the Greater Louisville Classic (29:42.96 8K).

As a freshman, Gibbons competed in five races. He ran a season-best 29:53.1 8K at the Greater Louisville Classic and finished 30th at the UB Stampede Invite with an 18:20.7. Gibbons posted an 18:13.2 at the EMU Fall Classic.

At Clay, Gibbons was honorable mention all-conference his junior year and set a personal best 5K mark of 17:02 his senior

year.

The Toledo men's and women's cross country teams will compete in the Illinois State Country Financial Invitational and the Roy Griak Invitational as part of their 2017 schedules, announced by UT head coach Linh Nguyen. Joining the womens’ team this year is freshman Hannah Sponaugle (Eastwood).

The Rockets begin the new campaign with the annual Brodt Invitational on Friday, Sept. 1, hosted by I-75 rival Bowling Green. The Rockets will be competing in the meet for the seventh time in the last decade.

Illinois State will host the Country Financial Invitational on Friday, Sept. 8 in Normal, Ill. After a weekend of no competition, the Rockets will head to the University of Minnesota for the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis, Minn.

"The Griak is a big meet," said Nguyen.

"There are usually multiple ranked teams there. There are teams from all over the country and it is a difficult course. That will be our first real test of the season."

The following weekend, UT will test its talents against the best runners in Ohio at the All-Ohio Championships in Cedarville, Ohio.

Winterfield, Atkin team up for all-star aerial display

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Out of 100 graduated high school football players participating, Oak Harbor’s Jeff Winterfield was one who made big plays at Perrysburg’s Northwest Ohio Regional AllStar Game.

Winterfield threw for 239 yards and five touchdowns in the Black team’s 42-14 victory over the Gold team. The Oak Harbor alum earned MVP honors for the Black team and found Woodmore graduate J.T. Atkin for three touchdown passes that covered a total of 140 yards (62, 20, 58).

Winterfield, who was a flag football teammate of Atkins’ when they were youngsters, helped stake the Black team to a 35-0 lead and finished 7-of-11 passing, connecting on touchdown passes of 62, 46, 45, 20 and 58 yards, respectively.

Gibsonburg’s Kane Gomez did damage both on special teams and offense. He caught a 46-yard touchdown pass from Winterfield and had two long kickoff returns and a long punt return that set up his score. Gomez’s quarterback, Ryan Clark, scored on a four-yard touchdown run and threw a lateral to Winterfield on the game’s first touchdown, a 62-yard pass that was caught by Atkin. The play saw Winterfield take the backwards pass from Clark and heave the ball from his own 28-yard-line, 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage, before Atkin, who was at the Gold’s 31, hauled in and outraced two defenders for the touchdown.

“Overall, I had a great time with the guys and had a great game and couldn’t be happier with everybody’s and my performance. It was great being part of the team, they were very positive. I had a lot of fun,” said Atkin. “The practices were great — they were active and it was good playing with different people.

“It was great playing with Jeff again.

When we were younger, our flag football team went up to Michigan and won the state title. It was great to have the same connection we used to have. He has a cannon and can throw like no other.”

Meanwhile, Eastwood’s Michael Burket was named the Gold team’s MVP for his efforts on defense. Burket’s teammate, Cardinal Stritch quarterback Drew Staczek, threw for a touchdown pass, hitting Maumee’s Donquaveous Wyatt on a quick slant that he took the rest of the way for a 55-yard touchdown.

The game is an event that culminates in the conclusion of the week’s activities,

which includes practices and the players hearing from a guest speaker. This year’s speaker was a man known to many in the community for his work with the Genoa football team, Sean Buckley.

Buckley, a Perrysburg native, coached under Mike Vicars and helped the Comets become a perennial powerhouse during their time together. Today, Buckley is the offensive quality control coach with Ohio State University, a position he attained after working as a volunteer coach with the club for three years. “(Buckley) gave a pretty good speech.

He is a very determined guy who has been through a lot of adversity in his life,” said

Winterfield. “He talked about his father dying and working as an unpaid assistant at Ohio State and how he persevered through that. It was a great experience because I made some new friends and it was really fun because we destroyed the other team.”

The game was the last hurrah for both Winterfield and Atkin, who are moving on to other things. Winterfield, who could play collegiately if he wanted to, is set to join the Air National Guard and will go to Texas for eight weeks of boot camp before heading to Missouri for technical school.

Atkin, who also excelled at basketball and baseball in high school, has found work as a union millwright.

The native of Elk Grove Village, Illinois

appeared in 148 games while accruing 26 goals, 27 assists, 53 points and 83 penalty minutes.

“We saw in a short stint late last year how solid both of these players can be,” said Coach Dan Watson. “They will make big strides in their first professional seasons.”

Reno skated in 10 contests with a pair of assists and a plus three for Toledo following his senior season at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institution where he appeared in 100 games. An Assistant Captain last year for the Engineers, the 22-year-old posted three goals and 16 assists with 30 penalty minutes in his career.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Helping Others to Help Themselves The nineteenth century British philosopher John Stuart Mill argued persuasively for a variety of social reforms, and especially for state-supported public education, on the grounds that it “is help towards doing without help.”That is, education makes people more likely to be able to take care of themselves and live healthy, independent lives. It may be easier to just give people food or money to meet their immediate needs, but in the long run this may only foster a state of dependency, whereas if we take the time to teach the person how to fend for himself, he might fare better in the long run. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but teach him how to fish

Oregon

and you feed him for a lifetime. There are lots of ways in which we can help others to help themselves, whether it is teaching them a skill or trade, or teaching them how to drive or to read. Reading opens doors to a whole world of help, because once you teach someone how to read, it gives them access to the entire fund of human knowledge. We should consider how we might help the people in our community, or even in our own families, to be more independent. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat. —2 Thessalonians 3:10

Oregon man to cycle 328 miles for cancer society

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Oregon resident Jeff Smith wants to see an end to cancer in his lifetime. So, he’s riding his bicycle 328 miles across the state, for a good cause, of course.

The 52-year-old Smith is participating in the 11th Annual American Cancer Society Pan Ohio Hope Ride on July 2730, riding from Cincinnati to Cleveland.

“Across the country, when children have their final chemotherapy treatment, they get to ring a bell. I want to help provide a world with more bells ringing or better yet the elimination of the need for the bell in the first place,” Smith writes in a personal letter explaining why he is participating.

The Pan Ohio Hope Ride is a noncompetitive, four-day, multi-stage cycling event starting near the Society’s Hope Lodge in Cincinnati and ending near the Hope Lodge in Cleveland. In 2016, the Pan Ohio Hope Ride raised more than $937,000 and since its inception in 2007, it is has raised more than $6 million for the ACS. The ACS is committed to reducing the number of people affected by cancer. It is a global grassroots force of two million volunteers. So far, they have contributed to a 25 percent decline in cancer death rates since the early 1990s. They have been able to help save 1.2 million lives thanks to the donations of those who support their cause.

Smith’s life, like so many others, has been touched by cancer, which inspired him.

“My dad died of lung cancer, my mom died of pancreatic cancer, my wife’s dad died from cancer, so cancer is a big deal to me, and we have a close friend going through it right now with breast cancer,” Smith said.

“So, I said, ‘you know what? I like riding a bike anyways. I might as well put it to use.’ So, I signed up for this thing.

I’ve got a $5,000 target, and right now I’m at about $3,450 of the way there. So, I’ve got a pretty good jump on it. It’s a good cause, and honestly I feel good about doing it.”

In a self-written press release, Smith reiterated, “It’s a fun and inspiring event and it gives me the opportunity to support the lifesaving mission of the American Cancer Society. Although this is my first year riding this event the devastating effect of cancer has had a significant impact on my life.

“I personally have watched both of my parents, my father-in-law, my grandmother, other extended family members and very close friends fight what often seems to be, and often is, a losing battle. I want to make a difference.”

His experience riding in long distance bicycling events made his decision to participate even easier. When the Marine Corps veteran, a community-minded man who is also involved with Clay High School’s athletic boosters, says he likes riding, he’s not kidding.

“I bike quite a bit, actually. Earlier this year, I did the Honor Ride for Disabled Veterans down in New Albany, Ohio, I do MS Bike to the Bay, and I do as many of those type things as I can do,” Smith said.

He will be riding along with 400 other cyclists in this year’s Pan Ohio event.

The Pan Ohio ride is expected to raise over $750,000 to support cancer research and patient support programs of the ACS. “The primary purpose is we fundraise for Hope Lodge and other things for research, which is what it’s about, right?”

Smith said.

Each Hope Lodge offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city.

Currently, there are more than 30 Hope Lodge locations throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The cancer society says that not having to worry about where to stay or how to pay for lodging allows guests to focus on getting better.

To support Smith’s fundraising efforts, visit http://main.acsevents.org/ goto/jeffsmith.

There is still time to register for the Pan Ohio Hope Ride and you can join Smith’s team. Participants have the option to ride for one, two or all four days.

For more information on riding, volunteering or supporting the event, visit POHR.org.

Healthcare may be broken; retirement needn’t be Live on less than you earn, pay less interest on debts than you receive on your assets, mind your taxes, and you’ll be fine. It sounds so simple, and it is.

Similarly, eat fewer calories than you burn, exercise regularly, avoid running red lights in your car, and you’ll be fine. It sounds so simple, and yet it’s not.

Why? Outside forces are conspiring against you at all times. The wind is often in your face, and when it’s at your back, it’s seldom even noticed.

One example of the forces conspiring against us financially is the cost of healthcare. Whether it’s the pure cost of receiving the care itself, or the cost of health insurance premiums to protect from the possibility of having to pay for a medical issue, recent and aspiring retirees are wrestling with the growing cost of getting the care they need. For those who feel that they can retire before age 65 – Medicare age – the burden of $1,400 or $1,800 per month for insurance premiums, plus the

Beyond the Money

by Adam Cufr cost of co-pays and deductibles, has many people rethinking their retirement plans.

For many, it’s simpler to work until 65 in an attempt to avoid the problem altogether.

It should be noted that while healthcare costs are rising, the stock market is soaring to new highs, building retirement nest eggs in the process. But let’s face it, a rising investment account balance would feel much better if the money wasn’t destined to leave right out the back door in order to pay for health care. It’s like getting a pay raise at work only to discover a leaking roof on your home the very same

too late to address it. In our current financial landscape, healthcare costs are that missing or broken part. It’s only after we secure the rest that we can really know the full impact on our long-term plans.

This process doesn’t sound simple; it doesn’t sound easy, and it’s not. But the purchase being made at retirement is using a lifetime of savings to buy decades of freedom from paid work. The price may seem high, but the benefits are enormous.

day. “Can we ever get ahead?” we cry out.

In the face of the persisting healthcare crisis, my best advice is to plan everything else you can, leaving the healthcare variable as the one big unknown in your planning equation. In other words, get your non-medical monthly expenses understood and in order, reduce or eliminate debts, ensure your investment portfolio is managed well relative to your risk tolerance, have suitable insurances in-place for a premature death or longterm care event, and have a clear, focused retirement plan that can be adjusted as health care changes become reality.

This is what you can do, this is what you can control – the planning process.

Just as the best first step in assembling a grandchild’s new bike, or baking a new recipe is to gather all of the parts and ingredients first, review the instructions, and only then begin putting the pieces together. That way, if there’s a part that’s missing or broken, you know before it’s

Walbridge woman keeps baking tradition alive

By Mary Ann Wasserman Special to The Press news@presspublications.com

“

People enjoy my baking and sewing and I am glad to do it.

“

For Patricia Obertacz, of Walbridge, making traditional Polish coffee cakes, angel wings, and cookies is not just about satisfying the sweet tooth.

“I wish to keep Polish tradition alive by showing people home arts of baking and sewing are still being done,” she said.

“In fact, I would like to do more and expand.”

Patricia was raised by her grandmother, Clara Obertacz, until the ninth grade. From the time she was big enough to stand on a chair and observe, she watched her grandmother as she baked.

Her mom, Ann Obertacz continued the tradition. She has passed the torch to her niece Jennifer Obertacz – a fourth generation.

“My grandmother and mother taught me all the recipes and I have been following them ever since,” Pat said.

“Just recently, I have been doing baking for friends – on holidays, for instance Easter and Christmas,” Obertacz said. “They like traditional pastry on holidays.”

“Baking Polish treats is fun,” she said. “People enjoy my baking and sewing and I am glad to do it.”

Her Polish coffee cake is light and sweet. In Poland, the holiday confection is called “baba” - a word for woman. The confection is typically baked in a fluted pan. When completed, the scallops on the finished product resemble the hem or folds of a woman’s skirt.

The highly-requested staple of Polish family life is yeast-raised. The mixture has to rest for two hours and then rise in a pan for another one and then is baked in a convection oven.

“There is a tradition of religion associated with Polish coffee cake,” Obertacz said. “After Lent begins, you stop using some ingredients in cooking. In addition

to Easter, coffee cake is also requested at weddings.”

Another of Obertacz’s specialties is Angel Wings, or are chrusciki – a traditional sweet crisp pastry made out of dough that has been shaped into thin twisted ribbons, deep-fried and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

She is also known for her kolachky filled with nuts or a variety of fruit fillings including apricot, raspberry, cherry, strawberry or blueberry (her brother Don’s favorite).

Pat’s Polish cookies do not have sugar.

“Batter is made mostly from butter and cream cheese,” she Obertacz said.

“The raw dough is rolled thin and is filled with flour and eggs.”

Obertacz also spends her time making blankets and throws – a hobby she has enjoyed for many years, since a girlfriend asked her to make a baby blanket. The artful covering was a hit with her peers.

“I made it for her and everybody

Early into her craft efforts, Pat began donating to the Needles and Threads group at St. Jerome Catholic Parish in Walbridge. Everyone in the group donates a hand-crafted item, which the pastor or associate priest blesses. Items are donated to nursing homes, veterans’ groups or wherever a need exists.

wanted it and then I got started doing the craft business,” Obertacz said. “And, that was about in my 20s. I started out making blankets and throws for relatives who were having babies and the tradition just grew into making items for craft shows. It just keeps going and I am 67 and also still going.”

Mercy recognized Mercy Health has received Blue Star Recognition from the American Cancer Society and Ohio Partners for Cancer Control for its efforts to advance initiatives supporting the goal to screen 80 percent of adults 50 and older for colorectal cancer by 2018.

Mercy received the recognition after launching a colorectal cancer task force in 2016 that worked on an array of initiatives to ensure more patients had recommended screenings. The initiatives included patient reminder calls and messages, patient and physician education pieces that emphasize different types of screenings available and social media campaigns that drew strong community engagement.

“While we saw a strong uptick in patients having their colorectal cancer screenings, we still have work to do. We are continuing our colorectal cancer screening campaign to hit our goal to screen 80 percent of adults 50 and over for colorectal cancer,” said Dr. Anton Decker, chief clinical officer and president, Mercy Health Physicians. “Our results thus far and the Blue Star recognition from Ohio Partners for Cancer Control and American Cancer Society tell we are on the right track to ensure that our patients are aware of and benefiting from the early detection screening provides. Screening really does save lives and there are different screening options available, such as an in-home screening, in addition to a colonoscopy.”

Colorectal cancer is the secondleading cause of cancer death in the U.S. Doctors diagnose more than 135,000 adults with colorectal cancer each year. Colorectal cancer is also the most preventable form of cancer. Screenings allow for the detection of cancer at the early stages when treatment is most likely to be successful.

Facing the challenge of mid-life dating From the American Counseling Association Dating isn’t something just for young people. While dating is a chance for the parents of teens to worry, and a chance for twenty-somethings to find a serious relationship, today there’s a whole new age group – those 30 and over – who have found themselves in the dating pool.

They can be there for a variety of reasons. Perhaps career-based decisions meant having to wait on marriage. Maybe there’s been a divorce or the passing of a spouse. Whatever the reason, it can be a stressful situation because it may seem as though there’s a lot more riding on dating.

In our twenties, there seemed an almost endless world of relationship possibilities, but as we age we realize that the options are usually more limited.

Dating at an older age can also produce stress because it usually upsets

your established life. You have a career, friends, regular routines and activities that bring you comfort, but suddenly a new romantic interest will be taking up your time and affecting many of those established relationships.

So how can you reduce the stress?

Start by maintaining your normal life rather than turning it upside down for this new person. When everything is canceled for someone new and special, it sends a message about how little you value the things already in your life. Instead, rather than stressing over a scheduling conflict, simply admit you’re not available and suggest another time that works better.

It’s also important not to lose existing friends. When you focus solely on that someone new, you’ll end up feeling guilty and anxious over how you’ve ignored, and possibly lost, old and trusted friends.

Instead of cutting off those friends, look for ways to integrate your new romantic

interest into those friendships.

Another key to reducing the stress of mid-life dating is to remind yourself that you’re a mature person with a full life. A new romance shouldn’t force you to shut down your existing life and focus only on the new relationship. Doing so is a sure way to increase anxiety and to set yourself up for an emotional crash if things don’t work out.

Instead, view mid-life dating as an enjoyable, interesting adventure that’s an addition to your existing life, not a replacement for what you already have.

Don’t look at dating as an “all or nothing” proposition and it will be much less stressful and more enjoyable.

The link between hearing loss and dementia

By Rebecca Krukemyer, Au.D Many people are aware that their hearing has deteriorated but are reluctant to seek help. Perhaps they don’t want to acknowledge the problem, are embarrassed by what they see as a weakness, or believe that they can “get by” without using a hearing aid.

In 1999, The National Council on the Aging published the results of a study that showed the effects of untreated hearing loss. Specifically the study linked untreated hearing loss to • irritability, negativism and anger; • fatigue, tension, stress and depression; • avoidance or withdrawal from social situations; • social rejection and loneliness; • reduced alertness and increased risk to personal safety; • impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks;

CARE SO GOOD, YOU’LL ALMOST WISH YOU COULD STAY LONGER.

• reduced job performance and earning power; • diminished psychological and overall health.

A study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and National Institute on Aging suggests that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing.

Researchers found that study participants with hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end.

Compared with volunteers with normal hearing, those with mild, moderate, and severe hearing loss had twofold, threefold, and fivefold, respectively, the risk of developing dementia over time. The more hearing loss they had, the higher their likelihood of developing dementia.

Even after the researchers took into account other factors associated with risk

of dementia, including diabetes, high blood pressure, age, sex and race, Lin explains hearing loss and dementia were still strongly connected.

The reason for the link between the two conditions is unknown. The investigators suggest that a common pathology may underlie both or that the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia. They also speculate that hearing loss could lead to dementia by making individuals more socially isolated, a known risk factor for dementia and other cognitive disorders.

Whatever the cause, the scientists report, their findings may offer a starting point for interventions – even as simple as hearing aids – that could delay or prevent dementia by improving hearing.
