City leases Kmart site for downtown development By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council Monday approved an agreement with the Oregon Economic Development Foundation to enable the organization to acquire additional land for commercial or residential development of a downtown area. The Foundation is the designated entity by the city to do economic development, according to City Administrator Mike Beazley. “The Foundation has more flexibility negotiating agreements with potential purchasers who are considering developments,” he said. The city has been in the process of acquiring property in an effort to create a downtown area. In 2017, council passed a resolution in support of designating a zoning overlay as the first step in creating a downtown area that would include retail, residential, an entertainment district, and

open green space along Navarre Avenue. The overlay district covers three areas bordered by Isaac Streets Drive, Navarre Avenue, Coy Road, Dustin Road, and Pickle Road, an area that totals 167 acres. The goal of the overlay district is to make it easier for the city to welcome modern development. Developers will have the option to bring buildings up closer to the

front lot line to make some walkable space, and to move in some innovative ways with parking ratios. To that end, the city acquired 30 acres of property from Navarre Avenue to Pickle Road, and property south of Dustin Road, including the former WOHO radio site on Pickle Road. Plans call for that area to be mixed use residential and retail development. The city appropriated $3 million in the municipal budget this year for land acquisition and development in the core of the city. The city purchased the 30-acre site behind Kmart for $1.4 million, said Beazley. Kmart lease The city is entering into a lease-purchase agreement with the owner of the former Kmart on Navarre Avenue. “We have an accepted offer signed for the Kmart parcel.

lation for that,” said Beazley. “We will be leasing for a period of up to 10 years. Then the city will take title to it. We are in the due diligence phase and we won’t take possession of it for a few months,” said Beazley. In November, 2017, it was announced by Sears Holding Corp. that Kmart, which had a presence in the city for decades at 2830 Navarre Ave., would close. Beazley has characterized the site as “an important gateway to Oregon,” since it’s one of the first things people see when they cross Wheeling Street. “At some point, all of the structures on the property will be demolished in the coming year,” Beazley said after the meeting. “We will be looking to partner with developers and with the Mercy St. Charles group to develop the space.” Mercy St. Charles Hospital owns some property in the area. “We’re looking for mixed use that could include restaurants, medical offices, retail, residential apartments and townhouses.

Two charged for burglary of Towers Armory Two Toledo men were charged in federal court after allegedly stealing dozens of guns from Towers Armory in Oregon last November 19. Emmanuel Riley, 27, and Sevario Whitaker, 36, were each charged with theft from a federal firearms licensee and possession of a stolen firearm. “These defendants are accused of breaking into a store in the middle of the night and stealing dozens of firearms,” U.S. Attorney Justin E. Herdman said. “There is no place in our society for those who use firearms for violent purposes, including those who steal firearms to further their criminal pursuits,” said Trevor Velinor, special agent in charge of ATF’s Columbus Field Division. “ATF will continue to work with our law enforcement partners at the federal, state, and local levels to bring those individuals to justice.” Affidavit According to the affidavit filed in the case: “A federal firearms licensee doing business as Towers Armory was burglarized on November 19. Approximately 46 firearms, six suppressors and four gun bags were missing from the store. Video surveillance from the store showed two men had

entered the store at approximately 3:24 a.m. after gaining access through the ventilation system on the roof and began removing firearms. They returned to the store several times in the early morning hours and continued removing firearms.” Investigators obtained additional footage from a nearby business that showed the two men had entered a Toyota Camry and drove away. A Toledo police detective recognized the vehicle as one that was used by Riley. The vehicle was towed from Riley’s mother’s house and Oregon police executed a state search warrant. Inside the vehicle they recovered gloves, a hat, a face mask and a Friday the 13th style mask consistent with what the burglars on the store surveillance footage were wearing. Whitaker was arrested on an outstanding warrant and also found to be wearing a sweatshirt consistent with what one of the burglars was wearing. DNA testing revealed Whitaker’s DNA could not be excluded from a red pry bar left behind at the burglary scene and the DNA of both men could not be excluded from DNA taken from the face mask recovered from the Camry. Cell tower A search of cell phone tower records

indicated both Riley’s and Whitaker’s phones connected with a cell tower within one mile of the firearms store around the time of the burglary. If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the court after a review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any; the defendant’s role in the offense; and the characteristics of the violations. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and, in most cases, it will be less than the maximum. This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime. The Project Safe Neighborhoods program was reinvigorated in 2017 as part of the department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state and local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime. This case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Oregon Police Department and the Toledo Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Matthew Simko, assistant U.S. attorney.

Rate study authorized for district’s increase A comprehensive study of rates charged by the Northwestern Water and Sewer District is scheduled to start this month and be completed by late 2019. The district’s board of trustees has approved hiring the consulting firm, Raftelis, for the study. Theresa Pollick, district spokesman, said Raftelis is partnering with two other engineering firms, Greeley and Hansen, and Jones and Henry Engineers, Ltd. for the study. Last month, the trustees approved a resolution that authorized increases in rates for water and sewer service for 2019. Pollick said the water rates are increasing by about 2.2 percent and sewer rates by 1.76 percent. For the average family of four using 7,500 gallons of water per month – about 1,000 cubic feet – that will result in an increase of 81 cents for the district water charge and 85 cents for the sewer charge. Users may also see increases from the municipalities that provide water or sewer treatment services to the district. Mark Sheffer, who chairs the board of trustees, said the board in 2018 was able to contain costs by reviewing utility contracts and implementing “environmentally

friendly” practices for biosolid wastes at the district’s sewer facilities. “These cost-cutting measures will be fully implemented next year (2019), allowing us to keep our rate increase extremely low,” he said. The district’s 2019 budget includes funding for 27 water and 30 sewer replacement projects, including a new water tank to serve the Village of Walbridge and City of Rossford and part of the City of Northwood as well as townships in northern Wood County. Last week, the board organized for 2019, re-electing Sheffer as chairman and electing Steve Arnold as vice chairman. Both of their terms expire in December 2021. Melinda Kale was elected to serve as the board secretary.

SNAP benefits issued Due to the federal government shutdown, Lucas County recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will be receiving February benefits early. For people who received SNAP benefits in January and are scheduled to receive SNAP in February, their February benefits will be available on their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card on Jan. 16. This will be their benefit for the entire month of February and no additional food dollars will be added in February. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has instructed the Ohio Department of Job and Services to issue February benefits early because of a provision in the expired federal spending bill that allows the USDA to continue to fund some of its programs for 30 days beyond when the department had to shut down. To comply with that rule, the USDA is working with each state to load February SNAP benefits onto recipients’ cards early, rather than the beginning of February, when they would normally be available. SNAP-participating customers are being encouraged to plan their purchases carefully so that they will have money available to meet their food needs through the end of February.

Lake Twp.

Fire dept. calls on the increase By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township Fire Department in 2018 responded to 1,311 incidents, including 1,072 – or 82 percent - requests for rescue and emergency medical service, according to figures compiled by Bruce Moritz, fire chief, who presented the year’s report Tuesday to the township trustees. The 55 fires the department responded to represent slightly more than four percent of the call volume, which has been increasing since 2014. Last year, some of the higher volume calls the department responded to were: - 755 EMS calls, excluding injury vehicle accidents. - 88 vehicle accidents with injuries. - 45 vehicle accidents with no injuries There were 19 building fires that caused approximately $461,500 in property damage. With the EMS call volume continuing to increase, the strain on staffing the department also rises, Moritz said after the trustees meeting, noting it’s a problem common to other area departments. All options need to be examined, including merging departments, he said. “Should we be looking at something more regional? I’d like to get some real good, meaningful discussions,” Moritz said. Relying on volunteer departments has become more difficult nationwide as more residents spend more time commuting to their jobs and working longer hours, he said. “We have to keep up with the times,” Moritz said. The township department serves the unincorporated areas of the township as well as the villages of Millbury and Walbridge. It also has aid agreements with other area departments. The township is participating in a study with fire departments in the cities of Northwood and Rossford that is looking at staffing and other areas of operations.

The grant of $11,000 is from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency. Resource Management Consultants, which assisted with the grant writing, is facilitating the study. Residents complain Several residents of Bailey Road repeated their complaints Tuesday to the trustees about a site along Woodville Road being used to store piles of leaves. The trustees last May agreed to a request from Jim Mlynek, owner of Woodville Road Nursery and the parcels where the leaves are being piled, to rezone the parcels from R-2 residential to B-2 general commercial. The zoning approval came with the stipulation requiring Mlynek to construct a 4-foot-high berm with trees around the perimeter of the parcels’ western side that abuts Bailey Road. Mlynek is using the parcels to store leaves before composting them at his nursery on the other side of Woodville Road. James Pasch told the trustees that work on the required berm is not complete – a complaint echoed by Joe Zemenski and Kelly York. Meanwhile, Mlynek has been depositing higher piles of leaves at the site, they said. Mlynek was given six months from the May hearing to complete the berm. Following the direction of the Wood County prosecutor’s office, Jamie Stanley, the township’s zoning inspector, said she sent a certified letter to Mlynek earlier this month directing him to complete the berm. The letter advised him he could face daily fines for not complying. Mlynek on Wednesday acknowledged he received the letter but declined to comment further. He said he’s been consulting with an attorney. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued a permit to Mlynek to use the property as a transfer station for the leaves.

Mlynek contends the vegetation was a more effective screen than the berm. (Submitted photo) To make way for the berm, Mlynek said he was forced to remove trees and bushes – some 20 feet high - from around the perime-

ter of the property along Bailey. He said the vegetation was a natural barrier that was more effective than the berm.

The Lake Twp. Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market, formally known as the Walbridge Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market, not only has a new name in 2019, but will be traveling to communities within Lake Township. Market coordinator Richard Jensen wanted to make the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market inclusive for everyone who lives within the township. Jensen met with the Millbury Village Council and the idea for the village to host one of the monthly markets was discussed and approved. He approached Z3 Controls LLC, in Moline, looking for a potential site for the market and company owner, Tim Zemenski, offered his property as a site to host one of the monthly markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted the market to afford everyone who lives in Lake Township an opportunity to come out and shop with some amazingly talented crafters and some incredible products offered by our vendors,â&#x20AC;? Jensen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By traveling to the villages within Lake Township, it not only gives folks from other villages an opportunity to shop, but it also gives the crafters and vendors new venues and new networking opportunities to share their crafts and goods.â&#x20AC;?

Grant buys equipment for fire dept. New state-of-the-art equipment, purchased with grant funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will enable the Harris-Elmore Fire Department to provide better service to the community and keep firefighters safe, Jeff Berkel, assistant chief, said last week. The department held a public display and demonstration Thursday with the new equipment at the fire station on Rice Street in Elmore. In all, about $165,000 in equipment is being furnished through the grant, including 21 self-contained breathing apparatus units, 21 spare breathing air bottles and 14

spare breathing air masks. New rescue equipment includes a battery-operated Jaws of Life device, a combination tool, rescue cutter and two ram devices that allow firefighters to rescue people who are entrapped in vehicles and other situations. The department also received air bag systems that allow firefighters to stabilize and lift heavy items that are trapping victims. Chief Berkel said the grant funds for needed equipment allow local officials to focus on other issues they face such as adequately staffing their departments.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Wade What do you do in life that you wish could be automated?

JANUARY 21, 2019

The Press Poll Did you think a wall along our Mexican border is needed? No, it’s too expensive. No, it won’t work. Yes, only a wall will protect our border from illegal migration.

Richard Tunks Toledo “Yard work because of disabilities there are a lot of things that I wish could be automated but yard work is the hardest for me to do. My grandkids help me with the garden but I wish there was something that would automatically pick up all of the dog poop in my yard.”

Jazmin Tunks Toledo “School work. Math speciſcally. I can do the simple stuff but I struggle with the harder stuff. I wish there was a machine that would just do it all for me.”

Kenneth Elvis Holly Oregon “Paying my bills. Usually a wife would do that but when you’re single it’s a lot to keep up with. I wish my money was automatically distributed to different things each pay check. Automatically paying the bills and putting money into different savings accounts for different things like Christmas.”

Richard Crace Sylvania “Driving because then you could use that time to do other things. Imagine if you could just sleep all the way to N. Carolina. You could get there over night and wake up on vacation.”

Jeff Scheff Oregon “Shoveling the driveway. I wish there was one of those little robots that vacuum your ƀoor that could shovel your driveway for you or if you could ƀip a switch and heat up your driveway and melt all the snow away. It would just be nice not to have to change out of your pjs and go out in the snow.”

First you have to want it before you will be able to get it Your journey for goal attainment starts with a wish. You must wish for something before embarking on the quest to obtain it. You won’t have much enthusiasm working for an objective with little, or no appeal. There’s no point in pursuing things which don’t matter to you. Lots of people have idle wishes that remain wishes. This happens when there is no strong emotional attachment to turning a wish into reality. Your desire has to be strong enough that you are willing to put in the effort required to get it. Don’t limit what you want based on another person’s perspective as to what’s possible, or practical. It’s OK to pick meaningful goals that today may seem unreachable. You don’t need anyone’s approval to pursue your dreams. If you do feel a need to get approval before beginning your quest, you don’t want it badly enough. Your desire is strong enough when you refuse to be deterred by what anyone else says, or thinks. In this mode, you are determined to move forward in spite of other’s opinions, not because of them.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden If you lose your desire for a goal, pick a new one. Over time, you change and what you want changes. You are never stuck on a path just because it’s something you used to want. As soon as you lose interest in an objective, replace it with one which is highly desirable. The strongest motivation is that which come from within you. Although external factors such as money, possessions, and status are all nice, it’s what you have on the inside which is the true engine of accomplishment. In order to get what you want, you have to focus on what you can do for others. Providing products and/or services which other people desire will bring you external

rewards as a result. It’s imperative that all of your actions always be honest and ethical. Doing the right things is a long-term investment in your success. Those who focus on external factors, rather than the services they are providing, are more prone to taking ethical shortcuts. Any such shortcuts are a dead end road which leads you off a cliff. This strategy is replete with negative ramifications. If your strong desire leads you to unethical behavior, any gains are temporary and overshadowed by negative consequences, which will follow you for a lifetime. Your strong desire should propel you to take actions you are proud of. Inspirational discontent fuels your desire. Although you should appreciate all of your blessings, you also want to be constantly striving for improvement. Becoming satisfied and complacent leads to reduced desire. For example, after a big meal you have little desire to go food shopping. So you always want to be hungry for more. While you are pursuing what you re-

ally want, eliminate unappealing pursuits. Time is finite. Don’t waste it on objectives which don’t excite you. Any time spent on something you don’t want is time taken away from that which is important to you. Fear of failure blocks your desire. You are afraid to really want something that you believe is out of your reach. Instead, you look for something else which you believe is more realistic. This strategy shortchanges your happiness. Don’t put any limitations on what you want. Don’t make any excuses justifying abandoning your dreams. Express your desires in the simplest terms. Avoid complicating things with a list of conditions, or qualifications. Decide what you want, and then find a way to make it happen. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Columnist says artificial intelligence wants to reprogram you By Jim Hightower With chaos in the White House, worsening climate disasters, more wars than we can count, and a wobbling economy here at home, the last thing we need is another big challenge. But — look out! — here comes a doozy! It’s AI — artificial intelligence — the fast-evolving science of autonomous machines that can think, learn, and even reproduce themselves. Consider self-driving vehicles. Once the stuff of science fiction, the future is

Wall is not the solution To the editor: President Trump would have us believe real humanitarian problems at our southern border can be solved with a wall. He has ignored previous discussions in Congress, testimony from immigration experts, and real solutions previously acceptable to a great majority of members of congress (but not the leadership for political reasons). Acceptable solutions have been identified, just not recognized by the president. Besides greatly inconveniencing citizens and federal workers, the shutdown has already cost taxpayers and our economy much more than $5 billion. He ignores economic reality. Most people in economically advanced (rich) countries, like the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, want a big salary and no manual work. We need immigrants to do the low-paying, frequently difficult and dangerous work. We also need consumers willing to pay higher prices to increase wages and an immigration policy preventing employers from blackmailing workers who cannot claim worker benefits and protections because they live in fear of deportation. After relying on fear, racism, division, and lies to accomplish his goals, the president has appealed for “compromise” or help from Congress and us. Statistics indicate recent immigrants are less likely to commit violent crimes than native born Americans.

the rules of the road to allow full deployment of these vehicles. What about the hundreds of thousands of professional drivers who’ll lose their jobs? Not our problem, say the financiers and AI barons who’d profit from a mass bot-mobile conversion. Besides, as AI champion David Autor coldly asserts, those drivers get sick, take vacations, etc. “People are messy,” he notes; “machines are straightforward.” Indeed, so straightforward that these two-ton, non-sentient “drivers” will be driving straight at a world of defenseless pedes-

The few unfortunate cases he cited do not create a reason to discriminate against all people of a particular religion or ethnicity. In violation of American principles, the president has decided to encourage “self-deportation” by making the lives of those wanting asylum and those already here for decades miserable and threatening.

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) “US National Pain Strategy” promote these same non-drug treatments. By hindering the evidence-based treatments of chiropractic spinal manipulation, acupuncture and massage therapy, Ohio and national health insurers are exacerbating our opioid epidemic.

Dragging their feet

Healthy living

To the editor: Two recent studies from John Hopkins University confirm what consumers have known for some time here in Oregon – health insurance companies and payors who control the purse strings in our medical system have dragged their feet paying for chiropractic spinal manipulation, acupuncture and massage therapy – this in the face of multiple national medical reviews and evidence-based guidelines. More recently the authors of the widely cited 2018 Lancet Medical Journal series on low back pain also recommend moving away from overuse of imaging (e.g. X-rays, MRIs), rest, opioids, spinal injections, and surgery and toward these non-drug treatments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as the U.S.

To the editor: I am one of seven children who were raised on an organic farm and in the health food industry. Today, many farmers get paid for quantity, not quality, and we have one sick nation because of it. Spending on retail prescription drugs is projected to climb over the next eight years, according to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation. I would advise anyone to read “Mainline Farming for Century 21” – available from ACRES USA magazine – and to support the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association. Let’s make Ohio a truly healthy state. Chris Dietrich Elmore

trians. Already, one of Uber’s experimental cars killed an Arizona pedestrian last year. We can fix that, says Andrew Ng, a prominent AI investor: They just have to be reprogrammed. By “they,” Ng doesn’t mean the selfdriving machines — he means pedestrians! “Please be lawful,” he scolds, “and please be considerate” of the computer-driven vehicles. Give right-of-way to the new technology! So, don’t just prepare yourself for A Brave New World of automation. Prepare to be re-educated so you interact properly with machines and don’t get in their way. OtherWords columnist Jim Hightower is a radio commentator, writer, and public speaker.

During her residency, Law will be engaging with the Glass Studio team on how to use what she refers to as dust — dried, floral fragments she collects from her installations. “We are going to be doing some experimental work with the material she collects from her installations,” said Alan Iwamura, the Museum’s glass studio manager. “The Glass Studio team will work with her on a couple of different techniques that will allow her to incorporate the material with glass and create a 360-degree viewing opportunity.” The GAPP brings in both glass artists and contemporary artists who are willing to explore the use of glass in their work, to be inspired, without restriction, by the TMA collection, studio facilities, and staff. The Museum provides technical support, materials, and time for experimentation along with a staff that can help artists realize a body of work in glass without the years of training they might otherwise require.

Ready, set, Go Ape No rules, just run! In conjunction with the Cabin Fever Weekend activities of Not Monkeyin’ Around Day, the Toledo Zoo will host the Go Ape Fun Run Saturday, Feb. 23. There will be two runs – a half-mile route for pre-K to grade 3 and a mile route for fourth to 6th-graders. The half-mile run begins at 9:15 a.m. and is $3 per runner. The mile run begins at 9:30 a.m. and costs $5 per runner. Check-in for both runs will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Aquarium. Both routes are outdoors and contained within Zoo grounds. A course map is available at toledozoo.org/cabinfever. Runs will not be timed, as this is simply an opportunity to blow off some pent-up winter energy. Teams and individuals welcome. All runners will receive a participation ribbon and hot chocolate and a snack will be provided. After the run, stay and enjoy the Zoo and the rest of the day’s activities, including: • All Day – Coloring sheets, crafts, Barrel of Monkeys Games; • 10:30 a.m. – Gorilla enrichment; • 11:30 a.m. – Storytime in Great Apes Interpretative Area; • 11 a.m.-1 p.m. – Ice carving demon-

Visit toledozoo.org/cabinfever to learn more and sign up.

Foster/adoptive parent training Lucas County Children Services has a great idea for anyone looking for a worthwhile New Year’s resolution: Become a foster or adoptive parent. The agency is looking for individuals or families willing to foster children of all ages, from babies to teens, as well as groups of brothers and sisters. You might be just

the right caregiver for one or more of these youths who need adults to care for them while their parents resolve the issues in their lives. LCCS will offer free information and training sessions on two consecutive weekends, Friday, Saturday and Sunday March 8-10 and 15-17 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Lucas County Training Center, 711 Adams St., downtown Toledo. These classes are the first step toward becoming a licensed foster or adoptive parent. For information, or to register for either session, call 419-213-3336 or visit www.lucaskids.net. Qualifying to be a foster or adoptive parent is easier than most people may think. Candidates: • Must be at least 18 years of age to adopt; 21 to become a foster parent. • Can be married, single or in a relationship.

• Can work outside the home. • Participate in the free training. All caretaking adults in the household must attend. • Must demonstrate a source of income sufficient to care for oneself. • Can own or rent a home or apartment with at least two bedrooms. The home must pass a safety inspection. • All adults in the home must provide references and pass a background check. • Receive financial support, based on foster child(ren)’s needs. The mission of Lucas County Children Services is to lead the community in the protection of children at risk of abuse and neglect. This is accomplished by working with families, service providers and community members to assess risk and coordinate community-based services resulting in safe, stable and permanent families for children.

Ward off sickness with these immunity boosting foods By Liz Satterthwaite, RDN, LDN ProMedica HealthConnect Winter is busy, cold, and germ-friendly. Let’s discuss some habits and nutrition that can set you up best to combat the winter bugs. These habits aren’t too far off from what we can do year-round to take care of our bodies. When it comes to nutrition, I always say, “If it came out of the ground, we’re doing good.” But there are some specific foods with the most beneficial immune boosting nutrients. This means they are especially good at helping your body fight off infection, reduce the duration of illness, or heal and repair. Hopefully you will gather some new foods to incorporate into your weekly meals but do not forget how important exercise, stress management, sleep, and hand washing are as well. Nutrition is important, but only one habit of many that affect our well-being. Fruits and Vegetables • Citrus fruits. Good old vitamin C packs a germ-fighting punch. Our body does not make this vitamin, so it is essential and best that we get it through our diet. The most commonly known source is citrus fruits such as oranges, clementines, lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines. • Broccoli is a powerhouse of nutrients. It has vitamin C, A, E, and many more antioxidants, and fiber, which is going to keep our gut healthy. Try not to overcook it to keep these nutrients intact. Other cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower are of honorable mention as well. • Red bell peppers surprisingly have about two times as much vitamin C as these other foods! Chop them up and add them to an omelet, salad, or have them with some hummus. • Spinach. Popeye was a smart guy! Although you may not grow super human strength with your spinach, you certainly will gain essential nutrients and antioxidants such as

flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamin C, and E. Throw a handful in your smoothie and you won’t taste a thing, or start swapping half your lettuce for the greener leaves, if you typically do a head of lettuce or romaine. Probiotics – Probiotics are best when consumed through whole foods. They are good for enhancing our immune system by keeping our gut armed with healthy bacteria, increasing the amount of antibodies, and maintaining homeostasis in our intestines. Some great sources of probiotics are yogurt, kefir, pickled vegetables, sauerkraut, miso, and tempeh. Omega 3s – Omega 3 is another essential nutrient that our body needs desperately, but does not make. So, we must get it through our diet. The massive benefits of omega 3 includes, but is not limited to, a healthier immune system, reduced inflammation, and heart and brain health. The best source is from fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, but can also be found in chia seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, and avocados. Spices and herbs • Garlic has many super powers, but its sulfur containing compounds give it the immune health benefits such as an antimicrobial effect. It can add a ton of flavor to your food, and to your health. • Ginger can be great for its antibacterial properties. Not only can it help an upset stomach or nausea if someone is already under the weather but it is a great cancer fighting nutrient. You can use it to flavor a dish or make a hot tea. • Turmeric has been well studied as a great anti-inflammatory, but has also been shown to boost antibody responses. There are certainly turmeric supplements one could take, but it is also a great addition to a frittata, soups, roasted vegetables, or lightly blended in a smoothie.

Hopson mentoring local youth through basketball By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Toledo native Dennis Hopson is passing along his basketball wisdom to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth. Hopson, an NBA champion and Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leading scorer, is an accomplished coach that is bringing his expertise to the most fundamental of levels. He is currently the director of basketball operations for the YMCA of Greater Toledo, and is hosting camps, one of which was held at the Eastern Community YMCA in Oregon. Coaching has allowed Hopson to stay engaged with the sport while passing along knowledge to young people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The camps) have been going well, the biggest thing has been getting (a better) turnout. As time goes on, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pick up some people. We need to get the word out so people know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? Hopson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once that happens, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get more people out. Sports in general, numbers are down, even in schools. Kids just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t showing up in general to play sports.â&#x20AC;? Hopson is happy to be mentoring kids and giving back to the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The job sounded appealing. Basketball is me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a part of my DNA for a long time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out of Ohio State for 30 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most importantly for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about giving back to the kids. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I would be here right now if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the right people guiding me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to give back and help develop kids. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot to give to the game. We have a lot of kids that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reaching their potential. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about getting the right people that are going to teach the game and the skills the right way.â&#x20AC;? Hopson says playing sports at a young age is important, adding that it can help develop a playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills while building muscle memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to learn the game the right way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be hard for the kids to remember everything, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember

Former NBA star talks to children at the YMCA. (Photo courtesy Dayre Carpenter/Eastern Community YMCA) some things. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take something from one coach and something else from another coach,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The earlier you start, the better off youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be. Better muscle memory, better strength and starting early (is the key). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to build players. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like building a house. If you build a house on an unstable foundation, it will crumble. Do the same with players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job as coaches is to make the next coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job easier. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about wins and loss-

es. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it losing. I call it winning or learning. You need to start with the basics and make the next coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job easier. Do what you need to do and keep the next coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job on pace.â&#x20AC;? Hopson, who graduated from Bowsher High School, is known to many in the area for his play at Ohio State. He is the all-time leader in scoring for the Buckeyes with 2,096 points. Following his time in Columbus, the Toledo native was drafted by the New Jersey Nets with the third overall selection in the

1987 NBA draft. He lasted three seasons with the Nets, leading them in scoring (15.8 points per game) in 1989-90. One year later, Hopson was traded and backed up Michael Jordan while playing for the NBA champion Chicago Bulls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned after the fact, not during, how to be a good teammate. Leaving New Jersey, I grew every year. I was averaging 16 points per game and leading the team in scoring. I go to Chicago, and I always think (New Jersey coach) Bill Fitch sent me there to punish me because he knew I was going to play behind Jordan. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of playing time and I broke down because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why I was there. I was there to be a teammate. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about me, maybe at Ohio State it was about me,â&#x20AC;? said Hopson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing with a star. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to allow him to be a star. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a role player, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be a star in the role youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing. (Jordan) had to go against me every day. He was making me better, I was making him better. We were helping the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a proper buy-in, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a ring. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the batch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about you. I got a ring out of it. There are a lot of star players who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a ring.â&#x20AC;? In 1991, Hopson was traded to the Sacramento Kings before spending the next eight years playing professionally overseas before getting into coaching. He spent five years as an assistant coach at Bowling Green State University under coach Louis Orr from 200914. Before coaching at BGSU, Hopson served as an assistant under legendary coach Rollie Massimino at Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my guy. I love him to death,â&#x20AC;? Hopson said of Massimino, who recently passed away at the age of 82. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gave me my first chance, my first opportunity (in coaching). I learned a ton.â&#x20AC;? Most recently, Hopson coached at Bedford High School in Temperance, Michigan for a year and later was an assistant at Rogers.

Keep Busy with a

Winter blues getting you down? With winter here, perhaps you’re not quite feeling your normal self. Maybe you’re a bit sluggish, a little irritable, sleeping longer, or just feeling a little down in general? Welcome to what’s commonly called the “winter blues” or the “winter blahs.” This is a fairly common problem and while it’s often minor, there are times when it can be a quite serious issue. Some people find winter weather affects them strongly enough that it makes daily life difficult. Severe cases are known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and can be serious enough to warrant treatment by a mental health professional. But for most of us these winter blues are just a minor inconvenience and, fortunately, one that you can do something about. One contributing factor is the shorter days and lack of sunlight in winter. The obvious cure is to increase the amount of light in your life. If it’s a bright, sunny day, bundle up and get outside for a bit. If it’s gray and dreary, try turning on extra lights to brighten things up and use broad spectrum bulbs (often sold as “therapy lights”) that simulate natural sunlight. Exercise also helps fight those tired and sluggish feelings. Just a short daily walk or gym workout can help your body and mind overcome feelings of low energy. And even small changes can make a difference. When you’re feeling down, give a friend a call and talk about happy things.

The

Counseling Corner Watch a favorite funny TV show or movie. Read a book that you know you’ll enjoy, or spend some time on a hobby that makes you feel good. Getting involved with others is another way to feel better. Start going out more, whether it’s socializing with friends or volunteering at your church, a local shelter or nonprofit agency. Helping others almost always brings better feelings, and when you combine that good work with a nice bright smile, you may find you just don’t have time to feel blue. Of course, there are many things that can cause sad feelings besides cold, gray skies. If you find that you just can’t overcome such feelings, and they’re interfering with your enjoyment of a normal life, seek help. A professional counselor can both help pinpoint the cause of your feelings and suggest ways to overcome the problem. Bottom line? Take action and don’t let the winter blues take the fun out of your life. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Putting Gratitude in Our Lives We all know how nice it is to be thanked for some small kindness or good deed which we have done for another. But perhaps more important than the warm feeling that we get when someone expresses their gratitude to us, is the positive outlook that gratitude usually engenders in the person who is grateful. That is, the feeling of being grateful helps to keep us focused on the positive. Instead of harping on how bad things are, or regretting the past, gratitude looks for the positive aspect and the silver lining. And although we all may occasionally feel sorry for

Northwood

ourselves, we can alleviate some of these feelings by getting into the habit of reminding ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for. Our good health, having friends and family who care about us, and even something as mundane as going to work, are truly things for which we ought to be grateful. We should spend some time each day counting our blessings. We might be pleasantly surprised to find that this exercise itself will make our lives better. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. N.I.V. 1 Chronicles 16:34

Girl Scout Cookie season under way Girl Scout Cookie season is under way. Cookie sales mark the largest financial investment in girls annually in the United States and a powerful entrepreneurship incubator for the next generation of female leaders. At a time when girls’ needs and issues collect fewer than 8 cents of every dollar granted by philanthropic foundations in the country, each and every Girl Scout Cookie purchase is key to supporting the change-makers of today and tomorrow. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program®, girls discover their inner leadership potential and their earnings power amazing experiences for themselves and their troop, including travel, outdoor adventure, and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programming. Many girls put the money toward impactful community projects in their own backyards, from supporting animal shelters and food banks to working with local and state legislators to change laws.

The cookie program’s benefits are many; a recent Girl Scout Research Institute study found that two of three girls who participate in the program learn five crucial skills—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. The proceeds stay local, meaning that when consumers purchase the cookies that come from a registered Girl Scout, they’re giving back to their wider community. Girl Scouts of Western Ohio are celebrating the return of the gluten-free Toffee-tastic cookie to the council’s cookie lineup, joining classics like the Thin Mints, Samoas, and Trefoils varieties. Toffeetastic, offered in select Girl Scout council markets only, feature a rich, buttery cookie with sweet, crunchy, golden toffee bits. Like other similar consumer products, it may be priced higher than other Girl Scout Cookies, reflecting the cost of production. To find Girl Scouts selling cookies near you, visit www.girlscoutcookies.org or use the official Girl Scout Cookie Finder app, free on iOS and Android devices.

Nominations sought for Statewide Senior Citizens Hall of Fame The Ohio Department of Aging is seeking nominations for the statewide Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. Since its inception, more than 450 older Ohioans have been inducted into the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame, which honors current or long-time Ohio residents age 60 and older who have made and continue to make a lasting impact on their communities, their professions or their vocations. Visit www.aging.ohio.gov/halloffame to nominate someone you know. “Inductees to the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame possess values we should all strive to emulate, such as dedication, creativity, kindness and compassion,” said Beverley Laubert, director of the department. “Their attitudes and accomplishments keep them healthy and active while also creating better lives for their neighbors and making their communities and our state stronger.” Inductees are selected from public nominations. Past inductees have included business and industry leaders, advocates, community planners, educators, scientists, health care professionals, volunteers, artists, entertainers, athletes and more. Nominees are evaluated on the scope and impact of their contributions begun or continued after age 60. Nominees must be native-born Ohioans or have been residents of the state for at least 10 years. Posthumous nominations are accepted. Induction is held each May as the state and nation celebrate Older Americans Month. Nominations must be received by Feb. 11, to be considered for induction this year. Learn more, access the nomination form and view past inductees at www.aging.ohio.gov/halloffame. Request a paper nomination form by calling 614-728-0253.

Beware of the wealth mirage when planning for retirement “We’ll retire when the 401(k) hits a million.” Or $500,000, or $5,000,000. It’s not uncommon at all for people to set financial goals like these that are very clear and very exciting. After all, what’s unclear about getting to a certain dollar amount in savings? And while I applaud these goals and will cheer for you as you work toward them, there’s a funny mindset shift that ought to take place however, to put this money into the proper retirement context. Bear in mind though, it’s not easy to do. When retirement nears, my favorite question to ask an aspiring retiree is this: “How much money do you need each month in order to continue your current lifestyle?” It’s a simple enough question but it’s also one that asks a lot of the person tasked with responding. The reason it’s so tough is because I’m really asking you what that $500,000 or $5,000,000 needs to do for you in retirement, and this leads to the “wealth mirage.” The big transition retirees need to make is that of growth-to-income. In other words, it’s not necessarily how much money you have, but rather how much income does that money need to generate in order to accomplish your objectives. Here’s a quick example: a person with $1 million who needs just $2,500 per month to live on is really a very wealthy person, while a person with $1 million who needs $25,000 per month to live on had better think about a Plan B when the money runs out. The same amount of “wealth” means very different things to these folks because of their real or perceived needs for that wealth. Another way of looking at the wealth mirage is this: just because a person has $500,000 or $5,000,000 dollars doesn’t mean they really have access to all of that wealth if their plan is to retire and live off of that money. The moment a retiree who’s living off that money decides to withdraw, say an extra $100,000, from that wealth, the income utility of that nest egg is reduced. That can create a feeling of money being

Beyond the Money by Adam Cufr trapped. “Boy, a million dollars isn’t what it used to be” is a common sentiment because needing all of that money to generate sufficient income to live on means you really don’t feel like you have that money at all. What a bummer. That’s the wealth mirage. While there’s no escaping this reality of money, per se, there are ways to position the money to provide both economic and psychological benefits for a retiree. One prime example is to invest that money, not in pure growth investments, but in income-producing investments instead, a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks and interest bearing bonds. This way, a consistent income can be generated from the portfolio, that when sufficient to cover monthly retirement expenses, means there’s no need to sell shares of the investments to realize the income. You simply live off the income and interest generated rather than eating into principle. This allows for consistent income into perpetuity as long as the dividends and interest are paid by a diversified portfolio of financially strong companies. The strategy here is a not a new one; it’s been around forever. The fact is that most people only retire once, maybe twice, so the thought process here is a new one for most new retirees to consider. When transitioning from working for decades and earning a paycheck, to relying on savings and investments to provide that paycheck – even during crazy market cycles – the typical retiree will struggle a bit to make the necessary mindset shift from growth to income. Not only that, but the financial strategies must shift as well. This doesn’t happen on its own; it requires thoughtful

planning and conversation. So, beware of the wealth mirage and be cautious to assume that what once was will always be. The risks of heading into retirement with the wrong investments – and growth-at-all-costs mindset - can be substantial, especially when a declining stock market threatens to wipe out years of savings. Shoot for the $500,000 or the $5,000,000, but just be sure that money is doing the job it needs to do in order to pro-

Is it time for a baseline audiogram? By Rebecca Krukemyer, Au.D. A baseline audiogram provides a reference point for future audiometric tests. This is the hearing test against which future hearing tests are compared, making it possible to determine if one’s hearing has changed, and if so, how much. Even if you don’t think you’re having a problem hearing, you should not avoid getting your hearing checked. A sudden change in hearing status is difficult to document if there are no previous audiograms for comparison. I had a patient who claimed her hearing was normal prior to an automobile accident when the airbag deployed. Her test results indicated a moderate hearing loss. Unfortunately, she did not have a previous hearing test to confirm that her hearing was indeed normal. And while airbag deployment can cause hearing loss, it was not possible to determine if a pre-existing hearing loss was present prior to the accident. Other reasons for getting a baseline hearing test is because it can be used to check for problems before there are any symptoms. Screenings help to uncover problems early, when they may be easi-

It means that you could be allowing a minor problem to turn into a much more complicated and difficult health problem. If we find a problem during a baseline audiogram, we’ll make the appropriate recommendations.

Local ‘Angels’ to surprise seniors with heartfelt hugs No one gives a heartfelt hug like a grandmother, but these days more and more grandmas (and grandpas) are feeling alone and isolated, because they may be either widowed or do not have any relatives nearby who can help them navigate the stages of aging. So, just in time for National Hugging Day, Jan, 21, Visiting Angels will be sending designated huggers to local homes of seniors to surprise them with a warm embrace. “We’re taking the time to deliver hugs for a week this January because studies show a heartfelt hug is a great stress buster, it can help lower blood pressure, and even mitigate cold symptoms,” says Larry Meigs, CEO of Visiting Angels, one of the largest in-home senior care companies with a local office. “Statistics show one-fifth of our nation’s seniors feel isolated. Our caregivers are in the homes of seniors daily, to keep them as active as possible. They help them with daily tasks like getting dressed for the day or making meals. These designated huggers are stepping in to reassure seniors they are not alone and there are people who

care about them.” Why hugs? More than one-quarter of Americans age 65 or older live alone, according to research by the Pew Research Center. AARP launched a campaign to address the growing problem of loneliness and estimates one in five people older than 50 is affected by isolation that can lead to higher rates of chronic disease, depression, dementia and death. In a University of Michigan survey, more than 70 percent of older Americans polled say they feel isolated and lonely. How hugs help • Mood enhancer – Researchers with Carnegie Mellon University recently did a study that found hugs can lighten your mood, even on really bad days. Most of the study’s participants said their moods would improve after getting a hug following some sort of stressful interaction. • Immune system booster – A study put together by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia shows getting a hug a day could keep the doctor away. Scientists looked at hugging

and the probability of getting sick with a cold and they found participants who had been hugged did not suffer the same kind of symptoms as those who had not been hugged. • Good for the heart – Scientists with the University of Vienna found hugging a loved one can reduce high blood pressure, a major risk factor of potentially fatal heart disease. National Hugging Day has been around for more than 20 years. The holiday is observed on Jan. 21 in the United States, as well as many other countries and there is no age limit. Visiting Angels began franchising in 1998 in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Today, Visiting Angels has more than 550 private duty agencies throughout the United States. Visiting Angels agencies employ experienced caregivers and conduct comprehensive background screenings to ensure that their caregivers meet or exceed the company’s high standards.

Great Decisions Lecture Series to be presented Jan. 26-March 2 The Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc.

Main St., Bowling Green, for six consecutive Saturdays from 9:30-11 a.m. Saturdays, Jan. 26 through March 2. The series is an informative educational discussion group. The current schedule includes: Jan. 26: Decoding U.S.-China Trade, presented by Dr. Neil Englehart. Though arguably the most advanced economy in the world, the United States still uses centuries-old numbers to measure trade. What other tools can the United States employ to counter China’s unfair trade practices? There are several available, yet they remain mostly unused. Feb. 2: US & Mexico: Partnership

JANUARY 21, 2019

Tested, presented by Michalea Walsh. The United States and Mexico have a long, intertwined history – the war on drugs, immigration and trade issues have taxed the relationship over the years. What impact will new leadership in both countries have on this crucial partnership? Feb. 9: The Rise of Populism in Europe, presented by Dr. Doug Forsyth. Mass migration, and the problems associated with it, have directly abetted the rise of populist parties in Europe. How will this impact Europe? Feb. 16: Refugees and Global Migration, presented by Dr. Vibha Bhalla. Today, no countries have open borders. Every state in today’s global system has its own laws and policies about who is permitted to cross its borders, and how they will do so. How effective are the international laws, policies and organizations that have

evolved to assist and protect refugees and migrants? Feb. 23: Nuclear Negotiations: Back to the Future? Presented by Dr. Marc Simon. Nuclear weapons have not gone away, and the Trump administration has brought a new urgency, if not a new approach, to dealing with them. To what degree should past nuclear talks guide future U.S. nuclear arms control negotiations? Can the art of the deal apply to stabilizing our nuclear future? March 2: Cyber Conflicts & Geopolitics, presented by Matthew Haschak, Director of IT. Cyber conflict is a new and continually developing threat, which can include foreign interference in elections, industrial sabotage and attacks on infrastructure. Manuals (not required) are $32. Registration is required. Call 419-353-5661 or 1-800-367-4935 for details or to sign up.

rookie campaign with a 13-8 record. He finished with 20 takedowns, 19 escapes, and three pins. Richie, an Accounting major, is the son of Mike and Lorie Screptock, and has three siblings. He is the brother of former Dragon grappler Mike Screptock. At Clay, Screptock was a four-time state qualifier, finished sixth at the 2012 Freestyle Fargo Nationals, fourth and seventh at the Ironman, and eighth at the Super 32. In 2014, he won a state championship. Mansor, a sophomore wrestling at 160, is also 5-4 with 12 takedowns, seven escapes, three reverses, two two-point near falls, seven four-point near falls, one pin and he has scored 112½ points. Dylan is the son of Eric and Jennifer Mansor. He has two siblings and will be majoring in Education. At Oak Harbor, he took sixth at the state championships. Tiffin had numerous standout performances, posting three champions and 10 overall placers at the Ohio Northern Invitational. Overall the Dragons finished fourth of 13 teams, trailing only Washington & Lee (128), Heidelberg (119), and Ohio Northern (115.5) with 111 total points. Mansor won his weight class, outpointing a Washington & Lee grappler, 11-4, edg-

ing Ohio Northern 4-2 in sudden victory, beating Adrian 18-8, and pinning ONU in 6:40 for the title. Screptock gave TU their third championship of the day, winning by tech falls 17-0 over Mount St. Joseph and 15-0 over Otterbein, then posting a pin victory in five minutes over teammate Zachary Bierfeldt and a 5-4 win over Bryan LaVearn of TU for the title. Thompson, a sophomore wrestling at 190, is 4-6 with 11 takedowns, 11 escapes, one twopoint near fall, one pin and 55 points. At the Storm Open, Thompson had a key 4-2 win over a Lake Erie wrestler. Thompson also placed eighth in the Gold Division of the Ohio Collegiate Open. Thompson had wins over Mercyhurst 3-1 and via pin over Kent State in 49 seconds, but also had losses to Central Michigan by pin in 44 seconds and to Clarion in 2:53. Thompson finished his freshman year with a 6-6 record, scoring 13 takedowns, nine escapes, and a pin. Kian is the son of James and Kim Thompson. He has two siblings and will be majoring in Criminal Justice and Homeland Security. He was a two-time state qualifier at Oak Harbor and placed fifth in one of his trips to the state championships.

At the Findlay Open, Screptock was a multiple winner (pin in 2:49 over Mercyhurst, 4-1 over Gannon), Mansor won 16-1 over Midway and Thompson won 7-6 over Kent State.

“

I am a firm believer that if you want to be successful at this level you have to be involved in the local communities and schools...

“

Tiffin University’s men’s wrestling team made a big jump in the latest Division II national team rankings, rising to 11th. The Eastern Maumee Bay community is represented well on the Dragons’ roster. “We are really excited about the season thus far and being ranked in the top 15 in the country this season. What makes it really special is we are able to have success recruiting the local schools and keeping guys close to home,” said Tiffin coach Joey Simcoe. Helping Simcoe is Garrett Gray (Clay), who is in his second season as assistant wrestling coach at Tiffin. Prior to becoming an assistant coach at the university, Gray was a student-athlete at Tiffin University for five years. Gray’s biggest accomplishment as a wrestler was becoming Tiffin’s first-ever wrestling national champion. Gray won a national championship during the 20162017 season which was his final year to compete at the collegiate level. Gray was also a two-time All American, a three-time national qualifier, a three-time regional champion, a three-time Midwest champion, and set the school record for most pins (77 career), most overall wins (132 career wins), most team points (1,928.5 points), and highest winning percentage in the program’s history. Gray was raised in Bono and was also the state runner-up his senior year of high school wrestling for Clay. There are five Oak Harbor wrestlers and one wrestler each from Clay and Gibsonburg competing for the Dragons this year. Three, Richie Screptock (Clay), Dylan Mansor (Oak Harbor) and Kian Thompson (Oak Harbor) are seeing plenty of action this year. Their history with Tiffin University wrestling goes well beyond their collegiate days. “Screptock, Mansor, and Thompson have all been associated in some way with TU wrestling since either junior high school or early high school,” Simcoe said. “Richie’s brother was one of my first recruits, and you would always see him wearing Tiffin wrestling shirts when he came to support his brother, and it was a real honor to coach both of them on the same team. “Dylan and Kian both wrestled for Oak Harbor and we have had an amazing relationship with Coach (George) Bergman for years, running summer camps and training camps for their Disney Duals teams. I am a firm believer that if you want to be successful at this level you have to be involved in the local communities and schools, and I think this is really starting to show in our program.” Screptock, a junior wrestling at 157 pounds, is currently 6-5 with 12 takedowns, seven escapes, one reverse, four two-point near falls, five four-point near fall, three pins, and over 120 points scored. Last week, Tiffin went 1-1 at the Ranger Duals, defeating fourth-ranked McKendree 27-12 while falling to 15thranked Maryville 26-14. Screptock split his matches. Against Maryville, he fell 4-2 at 165 pounds but got a pin in 2:44 against his McKendree opponent. Screptock finished his sophomore season with a 15-11 overall record, recording 19 takedowns, 19 escapes, 12 reversals, and a pair of pins. In 2016-17, he had a solid

Hrynciw finished his freshman season with a 5-3 record, registering 17 takedowns, 11 escapes, and a pair of pins. He is the son of Robert and Jeri Hrynciw. He has three siblings and intends to major in Homeland Security. In high school, he finished third at state his junior year and was the state runner-up his senior year.

Wheeler gives ‘110 percent with everything he does’

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Toward the end of the season it was me and him going at it. We were beating each other up. When times got hard, I didn’t quit.

“

Devon Wheeler made a splash on the mat last season at Waite, winning the City League wrestling title at 120 pounds. Never mind that it was his first season as a wrestler. Wheeler, a junior, took baby steps, but he had no problem putting in the work that led to winning that championship. It didn’t come as a surprise to Russ Jennings, the Indians’ second-year coach. “He’s the hardest-working kid I’ve ever coached, biddy or high school, for the better part of 15 years,” Jennings said. “He gives 110 percent with everything he does – schoolwork, working out, live wrestling, and every part of practice. He’s the inspiration for the team and he keeps everybody going.” Waite took second place at the CL tournament last season and returns all but one individual from that team. One of the first things Jennings did last season was name Neko Brown, now a senior, and Wheeler team captains. Both wrestlers have that same role this season. “Devon was the first captain I named when I took over the position,” Jennings said. “He’s a hard-working kid and he keeps the (practice) room going. He does that all on his own. He won’t let anybody fail or make excuses. He holds everybody accountable for their actions. He’s a great kid and a breath of fresh air. Everything I throw at him, he keeps it in and pushes harder.” Wheeler joined a biddy wrestling program with one of his cousins when he was younger, but he decided the sport wasn’t for him. He said some of his friends went out for wrestling in high school, but they did it to stay in shape for football. Jennings convinced Wheeler to try out for the wrestling team more than a year ago. “I liked it at first and I enjoyed it,” Wheeler said. “Coach was an amazing person. He took me aside and talked to me about wrestling and demonstrated the basics. I picked up the basics pretty easy. I fell in love with wrestling throughout that season. It teaches you to rely on yourself;

This was taken at the Ohio State Fairgrounds wrestling tournament where Wheeler won a championship. (Facebook.com/Waite wrestling) it’s just you and the other guy and you can’t make mistakes. You have to rely on yourself and how hard you worked that week.” Wheeler’s first matches came at the Northwood Invitational last year. He won two of his five matches at 145 pounds, then he purposely continued to drop weight as the season progressed. “That’s where I could best compete,” he said. “The guys at the lower weights are all muscle, but I had a little bit of muscle and a lot of body fat. My plan was to lose the body fat and get to the lowest weight I could and take off from there.” Along with dropping weight, Wheeler also noticed something else: he began to get better on the mat through his training and match-ups against more experienced oppo-

nents. “It was my first year, and starting out I was losing a lot,” Wheeler said. “All of my losses were teaching me a lesson. Every week I would go back into the room and work harder and get better and better. I’m a hard worker at anything I do. Anything having to do with competition, I give my all. I just always had that in me, to be the best. That’s what drives me at practice every day, to be the best.” Wheeler, who now competes at 132 pounds, gave Brown a lot of credit for his improvement on the mat last season. Jennings paired those two against each other during practices and Brown, who was competing at 132 pounds, gave Wheeler a few lessons.

“He had a year of experience,” Wheeler said, “and he would beat me up every day at practice. It took a toll on me and I was getting frustrated. As the season went on, he kept beating me up but that made me go harder. I would learn different moves and different things to not get beat up. Toward the end of the season, it was me and him going at it. We were beating each other up. When times got hard, I didn’t quit. It pushed me to do better and better.” Wheeler said he and a few teammates competed in a tournament at the Ohio State Fair last summer. Wheeler took first place at 152 pounds. “That really sparked me and got me really hyped and excited for the upcoming season,” he said. Wheeler has a 16-4 record this season, with eight pins and three tech falls. “He’s done OK,” Jennings said. “He’s made some stupid mistakes in the matches he’s lost, but at the end of the year he will make a push to be a district qualifier. He will win a City title again.” Wheeler said he plans to use his leadership skills to push the Indians to the league championship this season. “I like people to follow me,” he said. “I show people the right way and I work hard, and Coach puts a lot of his time and effort into us. I feel it’s only right to give him what he deserves. I want our whole team to succeed and be at the highest level we can compete at.”

Hardy girls find more ways to contribute at Lourdes By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com First-year Lourdes University women’s basketball coach John Kenger would have been disappointed if sophomore guard Jami Hardy didn’t have the kind of season she’s having for the Gray Wolves. “I love everything about Jami,” Kenger said of the Cardinal Stritch graduate. “She’s a tough kid who will run through a wall if you needed her to, to help the team out. She’s worked herself from being a good player to a great player. She has really come full circle for us. She came to everything we did in the summer and we were like, wow, this kid really worked and put herself in a different category this year.” Hardy is one of four players from The Press coverage area on the Lourdes roster this season. Jami’s older sister, Kali, is a sophomore guard but is redshirting due to a knee injury. Clay grad Samantha Enck and Waite grad Ramiah Henry are both senior guards for the Gray Wolves. Lourdes fell to 7-13 and 3-9 in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference after Wednesday’s 55-48 loss at Rochester (Mich.) College. Jami Hardy has played in all 20 games, starting 16, and averages 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds. She has 31 assists and a team-high 27 steals and is shooting 43 percent from two-point range, 34 percent from 3-point range and 72 percent from the free throw line. She played in all 28 games last season and averaged 4.3 points and 3.6 rebounds. “It’s going pretty well this season,” Jami said. “I feel like I have a lot more freedom (from last year). If I make a mistake, it’s OK and I can play through it and learn from it. Before, I felt if I made one mistake I would get subbed out. ” Hardy made her presence felt two weeks ago as she recorded a double-double. Hardy finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds in the Gray Wolves matchup with Lawrence Tech. In that game, Jami hit a jumper early to give Lourdes an 8-2 lead, and two free throws from Henry to end the third quarter helped Lourdes cling to a 45-28 lead heading into the final period. Lawrence Tech slowly chipped away at the Gray Wolf lead and used a 10-1 run late in the fourth to cut the lead 54-50 with 2:22 remaining in

Jami Hardy (courtesy Lourdes Athletics) the contest, and Lawrence Tech pulled out a 58-56 win on a last minute jumper. “Lawrence Tech is a very disciplined team,” said Kenger. “I’m proud of our effort and the energy we had. We just need to learn how to close out games and be more disciplined.” Jami, the Toledo Area Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a senior at Stritch, added that she was looking forward to playing with Kali this season. Kali tore her ACL in the offseason. “She could have helped the team,” Jami said. “She’s so fast. She would be one of our point guards.” Kali played in 25 games as a freshman and averaged 1.7 points and 1.3 rebounds.

She was looking forward to a more productive sophomore campaign before she injured her knee. “We were playing in an open gym at Lourdes and I was contesting a layup,” Kali said. “I jumped up and the other girl jumped up, too. As I was coming down, she kicked the back of my knee and it felt weird after that. I didn’t know I tore (the ACL) until a month later. I was really upset.” Kali said she stays around the team and sits on the bench during games. “It’s really hard,” she said. “You see everyone doing things that you can’t. It feels better knowing I will have an extra season (after redshirting), but it’s really hard because I was looking forward to playing. My

rehab is going really well.” Kenger said Kali would have been especially effective at the defensive end. “She’s a heck of a defensive player and we’re looking for that type of pressure to put on opposing guards,” Kenger said. “She worked so hard in the offseason. It breaks your heart to see her go down with an injury before the season started. She’s been diligently working through rehab, and we’re excited to have her next year.” Jami and Kali are both majoring in nursing. They are the daughters of Jim and Dawn Hardy.

Former Eastwood golfer at the helm at Eastern Former Eastwood golfer Stephanie (Smoot) Jennings was named as the seventh head women’s golf coach at Eastern Michigan University on Sept. 7, 2018. Jennings started her first season at EMU last fall. She returns to where her collegiate career started. A native of Pemberville, Jennings played in 82 rounds for Eastern Michigan between 1996 and 2000. She tallied a 79.7 scoring average with nine topfive finishes and 17 top-10 showings during her EMU career. “Becoming the head women’s golf coach at EMU is truly a dream opportunity; something for which I have a great passion,” said Jennings. “As a former member of the inaugural women’s team at Eastern, I have a great connection to EMU and seeing our team be at the top of the Mid-American

Conference.” It is her first foray into the college coaching scene, but Jennings is no stranger to amateur golf having been employed for 13 years at various levels of the golf industry along with her own collegiate career. “We are excited to welcome Stephanie back to Eastern Michigan as our next head women’s golf coach,” said EMU Vice President/Director of Athletics Scott Wetherbee. “Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the game made her the perfect candidate to lead our program.” Part of the inaugural recruiting class for the EMU women’s golf program, Jennings was the 1998 Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Year before an official league championship was held, and then followed it up by collecting second team AllMAC honors in 1999 and first team All-

MAC accolades in 2000. At the 2000 MAC Championships, Jennings finished fourth as a senior with a final score of 226 (7875-73) as the team recorded a third-place showing. The medalist at the 1999 Lady Gopher Invitational, Jennings collected honors off the course as a 1998 Academic AllMAC honoree as well as a 1999 Division I Scholar by the National Golf Coaches Association. For her efforts, she was selected to participate in the 1999 LPGA Jamie Farr Kroger Classic in Sylvania. She also took part in numerous amateur tournaments, including a 10th-place finish at the 2002 Michigan Women’s Open and the 1998 and 1999 U.S. Women’s Amateur Publinks Championships.

Enck, Henry offensive, defensive role players for Wolves By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Lourdes University 5-foot-6 senior guard Sam Enck (Clay), who is known more as a defensive specialist, has seen limited action of late after suffering a concussion. She has played in 15 games, starting two, and averages 1.3 points and 1.8 rebounds. She also has 14 assists. “She’s not someone who is going to wow you with her scoring, but she does the little things right and she puts in the extra work,” first-year coach John Kenger said. “She doesn’t have a great amount of size, but she’s trying to get in there for rebounds and trying to move the ball to make sure the play doesn’t break down. She has a good basketball mind and she is a good leader.” Enck, who played in 76 games and made 39 starts for the Gray Wolves heading into this season, averaged 2.3 points and 2.4 rebounds last year. She suffered a head injury during a game at Lawrence Tech (Mich.) on Jan. 5. “I was on help-side and a girl smoked me in the nose and I got dizzy,” Enck said. “I played the rest of the game and then went into concussion protocol. That means you are out of any practice or contact until the headache or pressure in the face goes away. I feel better right now and I’m definitely happy to be back. “It’s my senior year and I want to play my best up through tournament time. Eventually, basketball will end and I want to make the best of it.” Enck has played in more than 90 career games at Lourdes, the most of any player on the roster. Enck has started 41 games, also more than any other Lourdes player had total appearances wearing the terra cotta and black. Enck will graduate in May with a degree in biology, but she said she is “about 100 percent sure” that she will return to Lourdes and earn a degree in nursing. Her mother, Jennifer, is a nurse at Toledo Hospital. Her father is Jeff.

Ramiah Henry (courtesy Lourdes Athletics) Henry transfers to Lourdes Ramiah Henry (Waite), a transfer from Southern Arkansas, had a team-high 11 points in Wednesday’s loss against Rochester. A 5-8 senior guard, chipped in 12 points as the Lourdes University women’s basketball team (6-10) earned an 84-39 victory at Great Lakes Christian last week, scoring their fourth-highest point total of the season. “It was good to get this victory to get us back on track,” said Kenger. “We had a little bit of a slow start out of the gate but really came alive down the stretch.” Henry has played in 18 games, starting six, and averages 6.7 points and 3.2 rebounds. She has 33 assists and 25 steals and is shooting 32 percent from the field and 82 percent from the line. “She sent us an email saying she was taking her last year of college at Lourdes and she would be able to play with the team,”

Kenger said. “We were very interested. She’s a high-powered kid in terms of offense. She has a whole bag of tricks, and she has a good motor and can get up and down the floor. She has been a nice punch on the offensive end and she’s done some good things for us there.” Henry has had quite a journey to end up at Lourdes — playing at three other colleges where she had starting roles, and even getting Most Valuable Player and other accolades. Henry is a transfer from Southern Arkansas, where she played in 28 games last year, making seven starts. She averaged 6.4 points and 1.9 rebounds per game and tallied a season-high 20 points against Southeastern Oklahoma. Henry also played at Paris Junior College, making 17 starts and appearing in 28 while averaging 7.1 points and 3.5

rebounds in 2016-17, and was named the team’s Most Valuable Player. She scored 20 points against Jacksonville and had 10 rebounds against Temple College. In 201516, she played for South Plains College, averaging 5.6 points and 4.2 rebounds while starting in 14 games and seeing action in 31 games. She scored 15 points against Otero JC and had 11 rebounds against Temple. At Waite, Henry was an honorable mention All-Ohio selection her senior year, along with earning first team All-Toledo City League, CL Player of the Year, and team MVP as a senior, second team AllCity as a junior, and honorable mention as a sophomore.

Oak Harbor sweeps league swim meets By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

Eastwood junior guard Jamie Schmeltz. (Photo courtesy Tammy Schmeltz)

Schmeltz gets 1,000th point Eastwood 5-foot-10 junior guard Jamie Schmeltz, back on the court after an injury, scored 26 points Thursday night at Fostoria to reach 1,000 points for her career. In Schmeltz’ 50th career game, she scored on a fast break layup assisted by freshman Aubrey Haas. This year Schmeltz is scoring at 23.9 points per game with 7.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.7 blocks, while shooting 49 percent from the field and 47 percent from beyond the three-point arc. She now has 1,011 for her career Schmeltz broke the school single game points scored at 43 against Lake and scored 41 last year against Genoa on her way to earning honorable mention Division III AllOhio honors. She also tied the single game steal record this year with 12. Her family says she is receiving serious interest from Division 1 colleges and is maintaining a 3.5 GPA. After defeating Fostoria 76-47, Eastwood is 13-2 overall and has been receiving points by media in voting for the Associated Press Division III statewide poll. The Eagles are in second place in the Northern Buckeye Conference with a 7-2 record. Rossford (10-4, 8-1) is in first place and with Lake (12-3, 6-3) is in third place. Eastwood has games with Rossford (Jan. 31) and Lake (Feb. 7) remaining.

Country Breakfast

The Oak Harbor swim teams not only hosted, but they swept the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division championships. The boys team scored 205 points to outdistance second place Huron (153), followed by Margaretta (116), Willard (101), Sandusky St. Mary’s (85) and Tiffin Calvert (10). The only team to score more points was Perkins (235), which competes in the larger school Lake Division. “Both teams swam very well on Saturday,” said 16th-year Oak Harbor coach Andrea Sorg. “We were a week past Christmas break two-a-day practices and are starting to see the fruits of their labor. We had multiple events where three swimmers scored individually and both relays in each relay event scored high as well. Both teams have some depth that really allowed us to win.” Winning league championships is nothing new to the Oak Harbor swim team. During Sorg’s tenure, the girls team has won three league titles, the boys four, and the coach says the program has sent athletes to state “consistently in the past decade.” The boys team last year was 11th at the district meet with eight qualifiers, and also sent four to state. Three of those four return. “We have a veteran roster back this year and they’re looking to expand on last year’s success. Several veterans are proving to be leaders and their hunger for success is contagious,” said Sorg, adding that she can’t “wait to see” what the season holds at the district and state meet this year. Both the boys and girls teams are 6-3 in dual meets so far. Sorg says the “competition will be strong” at the upcoming sectional meet. The amazing thing about this year’s girls team is there are no seniors, so the Rockets look to maintain a stronghold on the SBC Bay Division for at least another year. This year’s team is heavy on sprinters and also improving on diving. “We have a young team, meaning we have time to continue to improve and build upon previous year’s success,” Sorg said. “Because we’re a young team, we lack a clearleader to keep everyone in line.” Oak Harbor’s relay teams also dominated in both meets. “All relays have done well, I mix them up throughout the year to see what our best options are in terms of athletes on them, and end of season relays to load,” Sorg said. Although her boys team is young with just two seniors, Sorg says she has a “strong group” of swimmers and plenty of depth. However, because it’s a younger team, she says “true leaders have not been defined” yet. She adds that three boys swimmers, sophomore Troy Metcalf and juniors Thomas Convanec and Caleb Heintz have “been swimming for years and are experienced.” All three were part of last year’s state qualifying 200 freestyle relay team. Sorg added, “Thomas Chovanec is mentally tough and finds a way to finish sets and practices successfully.” In the SBC boys meet, Heintz won the 200 yard freestyle, finishing in 1:59.93 to place ahead of Huron sophomore Weston Brown (2:00.27). Metcalf won the 50 freestyle, finishing in 22.78 to win by nearly a

The Rockets also won the 200 medley relay boys race, too, as Chovanec, Caleb Heintz, Metcalf and junior Kobe Fletcher finished in 1:46.44, squeaking out a victory over second place St. Mary’s (1:46.66). The 400 freestyle team of Chovanec, junior Griffin Heintz, Caleb Heintz, and Metcalf were champions, closing the race in 3:34.07, over two seconds ahead of the second place team from St. Mary’s (3:36.77). In the boys 500 freestyle, there was no championship, but Oak Harbor junior Griffin Heintz placed third in 5:33.77, finishing behind Huron senior Max Hardy (5:18.06) and Willard junior Blake Thompson (5:33.35). “Griffin Heintz has come quite a way since last year. He continues to drop time throughout the season,” Sorg said, adding that Eli Sherman, Blaine Wagner and Malachi Kennedy are also showing improvement. The coach says it’s not unusual

for male swimmers to start developing into strong swimmers as upperclassmen. “Boys mature slower than girls. They are starting to come into their own element,” Sorg said. There were no championships in diving, but sophomores Gunner Gregg and Justin Meloche finished third and fourth for the boys, and junior Bernice Alliman and freshmen Maggie Puckett and Kaylee Young placed fifth through seventh in the girls competition, which contributed to the Rockets getting their championship. “We also had a number of divers compete and score, which has been a place where other teams have picked up points on us in the past. Our diving program has really grown in the past year and continues to help the team score points,” Sorg said. “We have a young group of divers. They are working hard every day to learn more challenging dives. Gunner Gregg and Justin Meloche are competing for the first time this year and are doing quite well.”

Oak Harbor girls dominate, win SBC overall title, too By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com The Oak Harbor girls swim team defended last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division title, winning three relays to score 207 points to outdistance Margaretta (142), Huron (110Â˝), Calvert (84), Willard (58), St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (36Â˝), Fremont St. Joseph (33) and Gibsonburg (18). The girls team had more points than the top Lake Division team (large school division), outdistancing Port Clinton 207202, so they could have been awarded an SBC overall championship, too. Last year, the Oak Harbor girls placed 13th as a team at the Northwest District championships with eight qualifiers and sent four qualifiers onto the state meet. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team has eight returning letter winners with four returning district

qualifiers and three returning state qualifiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This group of athletes has committed themselves to the team, themselves and the process. Every day they work to better themselves both in and out of the pool. The girls have high expectations for themselves and a will to match,â&#x20AC;? Coach Andrea Sorg said. In the girls meet, sophomore Elayna Krupp won in four events, and she has already broken Oak Harborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pool record in the 50 freestyle. Krupp was a state qualifier in the 50 freestyle and 200 freestyle relay last year. Other state qualifiers last year were sophomore Emily Haar and junior Erin Druyor in the 200 freestyle relay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has stepped up her training since last year, and refined some key points of her race,â&#x20AC;? Sorg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already going faster than her tapered times from last year, and works hard in practices.â&#x20AC;?

At this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SBC meet, Krupp first took the 50 freestyle by finishing in 24.53 to finish just ahead of her teammate, freshman Amelia Mizelle (27.71). Huron senior Emma Golling was third in 27.89. In the 100 freestyle, Krupp won in 55.03, easily outdistancing her teammate again, only this time it was sophomore Kennedy Blunt, who finished in 1:00.72. Calvert senior Meghan Miller was third in 1:02.08. Oak Harbor also went one-two in the 100-yard backstroke as Druyor (1:05.07) placed first, junior Bailey Blunt (1:09.12) was second and Margaretta junior Miranda Cruz (1:11.98) finished third. The Oak Harbor 200 yard medley relay team of Druyor, Haar, Krupp and Mizelle won a championship in 1:56.41, easily outdistancing the second place team from Margaretta (2:08.15) by over 11 seconds. The girls 200 freestyle relay team of

Kennedy Blunt, sophomore Abby Beehler, Bailey Blunt and Mizelle won a championship, finishing in 1:51.58, under three seconds ahead of the second place team from Huron (1:54.3). The girls 400 freestyle team of Druyor, Kennedy Blunt, Haar and Krupp won in 3:56.01, more than 14 seconds ahead of the second place team from Calvert (4:08.54). Sorg says Mizelle and Beehler have stepped up their game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abby swam last year, but has upped her training significantly since then. Amelia is a freshman and quite honestly I think something clicked that got her sprinting in races,â&#x20AC;? Sorg said. Also getting an SBC Bay Division championship is Gibsonburg sophomore Sydney Leyerle, who won the 500 freestyle, finishing in 5:56.06 to defeat second place Oak Harbor sophomore Abby Beehler (6:16.43).

Each year, millions of couples around the world Ć&#x;e the knot. But before couples walk down the aisle, the proposal to get married must take place. Many couples mutually agree to get engaged, while the experience may be a surprise for others who have thought about it, but may not have been sure when one partner or another would â&#x20AC;&#x153;pop the quesĆ&#x;on.â&#x20AC;? Upon geĆŤng engaged, couples may ponder how long their engagement should last. There is no perfect answer, and engagement length typically depends on personal preference and the needs of the couple. A number of factors aÄŤect the length of a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engagement, and couples should not feel as if they need to hurry down the aisle. For example, couples who will be ÄŽnancing their own weddings may need a longer engagement than those whose parents will be chipping in. In such instances, longer engagements give couples more Ć&#x;me to save and may help them ensure their weddings are everything they hoped for. Others may prefer a shorter engagement if they are ÄŽnancially stable and prepared to Ć&#x;e the knot. Couples in their late 30s may feel the tug of a biological clock and want to ensure there is ample Ć&#x;me to get married and have children. A shorter engagement can facilitate that. Some couples may have liĆŠle choice in the maĆŠer, as the length of their engagements may be dictated by the availability of their favorite venues. Military deployment, work commitments, medical issues, or travel responsibiliĆ&#x;es also may aÄŤect the length of an engagement. Some couples may feel that an especially lengthy engagement diminishes their excitement about geĆŤng married. That â&#x20AC;&#x153;new engagement shineâ&#x20AC;? can wear oÄŤ as family and friends wait months or years for the wedding to take place. Couples generally are advised to sĆ&#x;ck with what feels right to them regarding the length of their engagements. Just like all aspects of the wedding, couples can weigh the opinions of others but follow through with what works best for them.
