Tax issue to be discussed at public forums The Benton-Carroll-Salem school board and administration have scheduled two community meetings to answer questions about a 1 percent earned income tax issue that will be on the Nov. 6 ballot. The meetings will be held Sept. 11 and Oct. 11 at The Hub in Oak Harbor High School. Both will start at 5:30 p.m. If voters approve the tax, it would be in effect for five years and levied on district residents with earned income in or out of the district. The administration, citing projections by the Ohio Department of Taxation, is estimating the tax will generate approximately $1.98 million annually. The revenues would be used for operating expenses. The taxation department defines earned income as wages and self-employment earnings,including earnings from partnerships. Income from interest, dividends, capital gains, pensions, social security income, rental income, lottery winnings, and income earned by estates are not subject to school income taxes. An earned income tax is collected in the same manner as the state income tax; through employer withholding, or individual quarterly estimated payments, and annual returns. Employers are required to withhold the tax and submit payments to

the state as they do the state income tax. There is a school district income tax return for those paying the tax. With FirstEnergy looking to exit the generation component of the electric industry and sell or shutter its coal and nuclear plants, the B-C-S district is bracing for a major loss of property tax revenues. A recent devaluation of the DavisBesse Nuclear Power Station has already caused B-C-S to lose about $4.6 million annually – about a quarter of the school system’s operating budget. Then there is the loss of reimbursement payments from the state – about $300,000 annually – that started when the public utility tangible personal property tax was phased out. In late March, B-C-S officials learned

Gov. John Kasich signed legislation including a provision allocating about $1.8 million for three years in special funding to the district. But the special “bridge” funding isn’t a cure for the district in the long term, superintendent Guy Parmigian and Cajon Keeton, treasurer, say, noting that the proposed income tax won’t fully collect revenues for 18 months. To counter the financial losses, Parmigian said the district has cut payroll expenses from about $11.5 million in 2012 to $9.7 million this fiscal year. “This vote is about controlling our own destiny as a school district community. Voting for this earned income tax means doubling down on a very high performing organization in our community in this time of uncertainty. The bottom line is that we provide a very good value to our citizens,” he said. In May, voters rejected a 1 percent earned income tax by about 50 votes but approved a 3.89-mill property tax. The property tax is expected to generate about $1.4 million annually. Keeton and Parmigian will host the meetings. Meet resource officer The district will hold an event for the community to meet Loren Welch, the district’s new School Resource Officer. It will be held Sept. 11 at 5 p.m. at The Hub at the high school.

The Little Sisters of the Poor announced “with sadness” that they will be withdrawing from the Sacred Heart Home in Oregon. Last week, the sisters met with the residents, their families, lay associates, staff and volunteers sharing their decision. The Little Sisters have served in the Diocese of Toledo continuously since 1885 when they rented a house on Front and Platt Street. They moved to a new building on Starr Avenue in 1889. In 1969 they moved to Navarre Avenue and in 2003 to the present home on South Wynn Road. In making the announcement, Mother Loraine Marie Clare, provincial superior, explained, “As part of a strategic plan aimed at strengthening their ministry and the quality of our religious and community life, we Little Sisters have recognized the need to withdraw from a certain number of homes in the United States, while at the same time dedicating our resources to much needed upgrades and reconstruction projects in several others.” The community is in discussions with a Catholic senior living group who is very interested in assuming the ownership and operation of Sacred Heart Home. The residents will be offered the opportunity to remain at Sacred Heart. Bishop Daniel Thomas offered the following statement: “For 133 years, the Little Sisters have exercised an invaluable apostolate of care for the poor, sick, elderly and dying in our diocese. Their public witness of the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, and selfless service in Jesus’ name of their brothers and sisters in need, have been a tremendous blessing for countless individuals and families. “ In letters to the residents and their family members, Mother Jeanne Mary, superior of Sacred Heart Home, also offered the residents the possibility of moving to another home sponsored by the Little Sisters of the Poor.

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Letters have been mailed to about 900,000 retail customers of FirstEnergy Solutions, notifying them of the pending sale of their accounts to Exelon Corp. If the sale is approved, the accounts will switch to Exelon in the coming months under the same terms and without interruption of service, the notices say. In July, Exelon filed notice with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it had entered into an agreement with FirstEnergy Solutions to purchase the company’s retail electric and wholesale load serving contracts and other related commodity contracts for $140 million. FirstEnergy Corp. announced in March it was proceeding with its plan to exit the competitive generation part of the electrical industry. Subsequently, FirstEnergy Solutions and its subsidiaries voluntarily filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. The subsidiaries filing petitions are FirstEnergy Solutions Corp., FE Aircraft Leasing Corp., FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co., FirstEnergy Generation, LLC, FirstEnergy Generation Mansfield Unit 1 Corp. and Norton Energy Storage LLC. Last week, FirstEnergy Corp. announced it had entered into a “definitive settlement agreement” in the Chapter 11 proceedings in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Ohio in Akron. The agreement is subject to court approval but terms are “materially consistent” with an amended agreement in principle announced earlier, the company said in an Aug. 27 press release. A court hearing is scheduled for Sept. 21 for the sale. If the sale goes through, Constellation NewEnergy, an Exelon affiliate, would become the power supplier for FirstEnergy Solutions customers. The Ohio Consumers Counsel pushed for FES to provide a clearly written sales notice for customers, arguing a proposed notice was too technical. “”The technical form of the proposed sales notice to retail consumers would be confusing for lay persons (consumers) who already have more than enough challenges in understanding marketer offers for electric contracts,” the OCC said in a court filing. FirstEnergy has announced it plans to deactivate the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station by May 2020. The Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry Ohio is scheduled to be deactivated by May 2021 and units 1 and 2 of the Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pa. are to be deactivated by May 2021 and October 2021 respectively.

Dr. Olen had been part of an opioid crisis workshop presented in July at Penta Career Center in Perrysburg, sponsored by Wood County Committee on Aging. A member of the Woodcreek Neighborhood Watch group had attended that workshop.

Bill to expand RN role State Representative Theresa Gavarone, R – Bowling Green, last week said she has introduced a bill that would amend state law to allow more autonomy for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses. She said House Bill 726, also known as the Better Access, Better Care Act, will give Ohioans more healthcare providers to choose from for primary care services. Current law requires APRNs to have a supervisory agreement with a physician to provide primary care services. “Improving access to healthcare for people in Wood County and the state has always been a priority of mine,” Gavarone said. “The demand for primary care services is projected to increase much faster than physician supply over the next few years. There are several reasons for this, but it is clear that enacting the ‘Better Access, Better Care Act’ is one step we should take to ensure that the physician shortage doesn’t diminish access and quality of healthcare services to Ohioans.” By amending the supervisory requirement, more qualified healthcare providers will be able to practice in Ohio to offer certain services, Rep. Gavarone said, and address the decline of primary care physicians in the state. The reform will not only give Ohioans a safe and accessible option to high-quality care, but it will also help serve vulnerable populations in medically underserved areas, she said.

School resource officers are integral School resource officers have become the backbone of school safety and security, Crime not only locally but nationwide. Prevention Schools in the area that have not heretofore had SROs in their schools now have Corner them, and others that have had only one SRO for multiple school buildings now have several. In a great example of school district and law enforcement collaboration, Lake Township Police Chief E. Mark Hummer agreed years ago to put an SRO in the local schools. Patrolman Steve Poiry is the officer Lake students now see on a daily basis when school is in session. His salary as an SRO is paid from the police departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. Surveys have shown students and teachers alike feel safer when SROs are on duty in school buildings, and for good reason. These officers may be their last line of defense should a violent situation arise. It is only common sense that students will do better in school when they feel safer, so an argument can be reasonably made that the presence of an SRO contributes to improvements in the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; educational environment. Before Columbine, having law enforcement officers in schools was all but unheard of. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame a school massacre on that scale had to pave the way for safer schools. As the idea of placing officers in schools began to take shape in this country, there was much resistance to the movement, not only from some parents, but also from some students and teachers. The idea was to many a shocking one. Since those days, we have learned there are many benefits to having SROs in our schools. SROs have nurtured relationships with students that have resulted in a new respect by the students for authority figures. This has come at a time when such respect seems to be at an all-time low. Students have learned they have some-

one to whom they can reach out when they need help. Too many youngsters have issues at home with parents, grandparents, siblings, and a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mate. Some youngsters have resentment toward an adult who is not their natural parent but who now tries to discipline them or tell them what to do. A change in the dynamics of the home life of these youngsters has taken place when a single parent family becomes more than that when a boyfriend or girlfriend of the parent is added into the mix. In these cases, the SRO has become an adult to whom these youngsters can turn for help and advice. SROs have also shown they can help break down the barriers between students and teaching staff. As students become more comfortable interacting with SROs, they learn they can also trust other authority figures such as teachers. This can and does work both ways, however, as teachers have helped paved the way for good relationships between students and SROs. While the impact of having SROs varies from school district to school district, and even from building to building, there is no doubt the officers have benefitted the schools, the students, and the teachers. As a trained SRO myself, I have found several students at Lake Schools have shown a high regard for SROs there.

Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Ron Craig, crime prevention specialist/community policing officer, at 419-481-6354.

Group to appeal election board decision By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com A court appeal will be filed soon to challenge the decision by the Lucas County Board of Elections to keep a citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiative entitled, The Lake Erie Bill of Rights, off the November ballot. Tish Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, Ohio organizer of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, said Wednesday a complaint will be filed with the Ohio Supreme Court on behalf of the citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group, Toledoans for Safe Water. The board voted unanimously Tuesday to not allow the initiative on the ballot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actions of the Lucas County BOE are shameful and reveal the sham that we call a democracy. When four members can strip the rights of 314,000 registered voters to cast a ballot on the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiative â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called an oligarchy,â&#x20AC;? said Markie Miller, a co-founder and leader of the grassroots organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meanwhile, Lake Erie is dying. For three decades Lake Erie communities have looked to our representatives to protect the lake and safeguard our water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to no avail. We are done waiting. Across the state, when we begin to take our health, safety, and welfare into our own hands, we are blocked by the very government that we once thought would protect us. This is not over. We are challenging this decision.â&#x20AC;?

Toledoans for Safe Water requested the CELDF assist in drafting a bill of rights for Lake Erie to recognize the Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights to exist and to protect drinking water, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell said. The group gathered nearly 11,000 signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot, Miller said. The CELDF is also working with a citizens group in Franklin County where an initiative dealing with fracking waste in Columbus was also blocked from the ballot. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell said Toledo and other Ohio communities working with CELDF are part of a growing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rights of Natureâ&#x20AC;? movement to address fracking, factory farming, sewage sludge and other environmental issues.

Comparing John McCain’s ‘straight talk’ to his actions By Peter Certo In the last days of his life, an old video of John McCain surfaced on the internet. It’s 2008. He’s running for president and fielding questions from voters in Minnesota. A middle-aged woman takes the microphone. “I can’t trust Obama,” she complains of McCain’s Democratic opponent. “He’s an Arab.” The Arizona Republican shakes his head. Obama is “a decent family man and citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with,” McCain retorts. And adds: “He’s not [an Arab].” Standing up for a rival was classic McCain, many believed, and his handling of the incident got praise at the time. No wonder it’s circulating again now, after a later presidential candidate made that woman’s slanderous race-baiting look tame. Still, too few people asked: Do real Arabs not make “decent family men” or citizens? Can one not have principled “disagreements” with them? More concretely: McCain was then

Guest Editorial campaigning on a pledge to expand the Iraq war, which he’d championed from the beginning. That war had killed perhaps a million Arabs. It would lead later to a devastating occupation by ISIS, and yet more U.S. military intervention. Throwing an entire ethnic group under the bus may not have been McCain’s intent, though he’d had his brushes with bigotry before. For years he referred to East Asians by a Vietnam-era slur, opposed making MLK Day a holiday, and reportedly had a habit of calling women, even his wife, the c-word. But it’s not really about McCain or what’s in his heart. It’s more about how the D.C.-based media reported him, and how admiring Americans interpreted his behavior.

Sporadically, the late Republican senator did take some principled stands. As a POW who suffered torture himself, he took on multiple Republican presidents to keep the U.S. from resuming it (though he steadfastly supported the wars in which that torture took place). And last year he cast a surprise, decisive vote against the GOP’s effort to kill Obamacare (though he’d voted against Obamacare earlier). Mostly, though, McCain was a reliable vote for his party’s worst ideas, and contributed many of his own (like putting Sarah Palin a heartbeat from the presidency). And despite his well-known feud with President Trump, he voted in support of the president’s agenda 83 percent of the time. McCain supported the $2 trillion corporate tax giveaway that could tear our safety net to shreds. His unrelenting passion for military conflict was a thing of caricature (“bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran,” he famously sang). And his support for empire-crumbling military budgets was so renowned that his colleagues named this year’s $717 billion atrocity after him. Trump never thanked McCain when he

signed it, but sign it he did. Some feud! The point isn’t that McCain’s odes to honor or civility were somehow dishonest. To him, I’m sure they were genuine. But in emphasizing McCain’s personal style over his actual politics, his eulogizers imply there’s some “honorable” way to implement an agenda like Trump’s (or 83 percent of it, anyway), as long as you don’t talk like Trump himself. Personally, I disagree. Whether they realize it or not, I think the “straight talk” people praise McCain for is actually what most of them can’t stand about politicians: They say noble words but cast ignoble votes. I don’t mean to suggest that Trump’s personal style is a welcome change from McCain’s. It’s not. But politics can’t just be a theater for elites, where standing up for one rival outweighs supporting a war that killed a million people. Actions matter more than words, and that’s the straightest talk I can think of. Peter Certo is the editorial manager of the Institute for Policy Studies and the editor of OtherWords.org.

For many of us, organizing your life is a great stress reliever A disorganized home can be a source of stress. You are always searching for things. Some things get lost and you forget exactly what you have. You are living in a constant state of disarray. Disorganization in your life also leads to frustration, stress, and anxiety. Your energy is scattered, resulting in lack of focus. You are constantly juggling multiple challenges. Once one issue appears under control, several others veer off track. One solution is organizing your life. Organizing your life has many positive benefits just like those you enjoy from organizing your living space. It gives you room to breathe and makes you more efficient at getting things done. An organized life reduces stress and enables a more efficient use of your time. Setting priorities is a great way to start. One symptom of disorganization is jumping from task to task without completing any of them. This expends lots of energy without much to show for your efforts. Priorities help you become organized by focusing your efforts on your most im-

Pet safety a must To the editor: The apparent abduction of a pit bull puppy in Dayton after he was reportedly left chained outside for about 15 minutes is a reminder that it’s never safe to leave animals outdoors unattended, even for “just a minute.” Dogs that are left chained are not only at risk of being taken, they also have no escape from cruel passersby or aggressive, roaming animals. Animals that are left to wander are in danger of being hit by cars, ingesting poison, contracting fatal diseases, and other horrific fates. It’s imperative to keep animals safe by keeping them indoors, making sure they are microchipped and wear collars with current identification tags, and allowing them outdoors only on a leash and harness or in a fenced area, under constant supervision.

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden portant objectives. Priorities keep you from drifting aimlessly. Without priorities, you have no specific direction. You switch from task to task in a random, disorganized fashion. Without priorities, your effort is expended without generating specific desired results. Priorities keep you on a track which efficiently utilizes your time and effort. This approach enables you to accomplish more than you would if you were disorganized. Eliminating unproductive tasks helps organize your life. It leaves you with more time to devote to what’s most important to you. Not only is working on tasks which yield nothing draining, you subsequently have much less energy for those issues which generate meaningful results.

Decline requests from others that detract from your objectives. Being unable to say “no” to the demands of others robs your life of organization. You are then constantly juggling externally imposed expectations to the detriment of your own goals. It’s OK to make your needs a priority. Discard any mental clutter. Lamenting the past, worrying about the future, harboring anger, resentment, or bitterness, and being fixated on what other people say, think, or do, are all mental clutter which inhibit your ability to achieve positive objectives. Negative thoughts drag you down. They attract the very outcomes you don’t want. Clearing your mind of negative thoughts frees it to focus on the positive action you need to take today. Concentrating on what you need to do now gets you moving in the right direction to reach your goals. Work smart first and then work hard. Working hard, without a well thought out plan, is disorganized. Your objective is being productive rather than just active. You are active when you are busy without anything being accomplished. You are produc-

tive when you are making progress toward one or more objectives. Although you can have several goals in progress simultaneously, work on one objective at a time. Constantly switching gears diminishes your ability to get things done. Multitasking with respect to important objectives which require mental focus, is disorganized. Finish what you start. Having numerous partially completed projects is a mess. Imagine how disorganized your home would be if you only painted part of one room before starting in on a different room. Take action today. Don’t procrastinate. Good intentions alone accomplish nothing. Visit www.BryanGolden.com or your bookstore. E-mail Bryan at bryan@columnist.com or write him c/o this paper.  2018 Bryan Golden

Study heritage To the editor: In response to an Aug, 6 letter about the displaying of Confederate flags. What is disturbing to me about people who protest flags and statues is how very uneducated they are about what the flag represents. My great-great grandfather, Captain Edward Trent Bridges was an officer and doctor in the American Confederate Army who saved many lives and was captured and held prisoner. He and his fellow men were subject to winter exposure, starvation, and abuse. He and many of the prisoners contracted dysentery and were left for dead. Many did not survive. His journal entries tell of the horrors. To me he is an American hero. I honor

the Confederate flag for his sacrifice. Maybe instead of driving around town worried about other people’s yards, do some homework on the facts of history and American heritage. I’m a proud member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Douglas Boos Genoa

Campaign offers boating safety tips for Labor Day weekend The Safe Boating Campaign, a worldwide effort focused on responsible boating led by the National Safe Boating Council, is offering tips to help boaters stay safe and make the most of Labor Day weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe wearing a life jacket is the simplest way to ensure the safety of you and your loved ones while enjoying a day on the water,â&#x20AC;? said Yvonne Pentz, communications director of the National Safe Boating Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you make plans for Labor Day weekend, remember to have fun, make memories, and most importantly, boat responsibly.â&#x20AC;? Boaters are encouraged to follow these boating safety tips:

â&#x20AC;˘ Make a float plan. Always let someone on shore know the trip itinerary, including operator and passenger information, boat type and registration, and communication equipment on board. â&#x20AC;˘ Wear a life jacket. Make sure everyone is wearing a properly fitting U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket. â&#x20AC;˘ Use an engine cutoff device, a proven safety device to stop the boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine should the operator unexpectedly fall overboard. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch the weather. Always check the forecast before departing on the water and frequently during the excursion. â&#x20AC;˘ Know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on around you

at all times. Nearly a quarter of all reported boating accidents in 2017 were caused by operator inattention or improper lookout. â&#x20AC;˘ Know where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going and travel at safe speeds. Be familiar with the area, local boating speed zones and always travel at a safe speed. â&#x20AC;˘ Never boat under the influence. A BUI is involved in one-third of all recreational boating fatalities. Always designate a sober skipper. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep in touch. Cell phones, satellite phones, EPIRB or personal locator beacon, and VHF radios can all be important devices in an emergency.

â&#x20AC;˘ Take a boating safety course. Gain valuable knowledge and on-water experience in a boating safety course with many options for novice to experienced boaters. â&#x20AC;˘ Check equipment. Schedule a free vessel safety check with local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadrons to make sure all essential equipment is present, working and in good condition. The Safe Boating Campaign is produced under a grant from the Sports Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. Statistics are from the Coast Guard.

107 E. Main St., Woodville Jessica (Kott) Hopkins, pictured with her husband, Tim, and a sampling of her Pantless Jams. (Submitted photo) By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Entrepreneur. When you hear the word, what do you think? Do you think of a young mom wishing to have more time with her children so she starts her own business? No? Maybe you should. For Jessica (Kott) Hopkins, a 2006 Clay High School graduate, the road to entrepreneurship had a circuitous route. After high school, she went to Owens Community College and then to the University of Toledo, graduating with a degree in accounting. Jessica met and married Tim Hopkins, a 2003 Bedford High School graduate. While making her home in Temperance, her father Greg Kott, of Toledo, presented her with a challenge. “My dad brought me peaches and said, ‘Make jam,’” Jessica said. “I had never made jam in my life. We are very health-conscious and I like all-natural foods. Every recipe I found had six cups of sugar. I looked up low-sugar recipes and many had ingredients I did not want to use.” Jessica took two months to hone her recipe using six cups of fruit, one-and-ahalf cups of sugar and lemon juice. That’s it. No unnatural ingredients, nothing artificial, and no added pectin. “I really loved how it turned out,” she said. “I had my daughter Makaylah already,

and I was pregnant with my son Levi and I really wanted to be with them, full time. Essentially, Levi is the reason my business, Pantless Jams, was born.” Pantless Jams was created in August 2017. Why “Pantless?” “Other than the obvious reason, that the jam is stripped of all unnatural ingredients, it actually came from my daughter,” she explained. “Last summer, she set up a lemonade stand in front of our house. She had the display set up beautifully, but didn’t have pants on. She said it didn’t matter because people couldn’t see her behind the table anyway!” Jessica has been using the commercial kitchen at Crossroads Community Church in Ottawa Lake. She currently has six different flavors to choose from. A seasonal offering, Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, is only available in the early summer, due to the availability of rhubarb. “It has been a slow, steady growth right now,” Jessica said. “Jam is a niche market. I wanted to make sure the jam was received well. Depending on the flavor, it can take two-and-a-half hours to make seven to 10, eight-ounce jars.” Flavors include Peach Strawberry Vanilla and Triple Berry. More exotic flavors include Peach Orange Ginger, Black & Blue Jalapeño, Peach Mango Habanero and Cran-Strawberry. “We have blends, not jams made from a singular fruit,” she said. “Everything has a twist. I want people to think of jam other

than just for their toast or biscuits.” Jessica said she has used the Black and Blue Jalapeno and Peach Mango Habanero as glazes on chicken and salmon. She has had customers also use it on cream cheese as a spread for crackers, she said. The Peach Orange Ginger is great for pork and the Cran-Strawberry is a great addition to a white chocolate cheesecake. Currently, Pantless Jams is available at the Bedford Farmers Market, located at 8165 Douglas Rd., in Lambertville, MI. The market is held every Saturday through the end of October. Pantless Jams will also be at the Lucas County Recreation Center, 2901 Key St, in Maumee, for the Holiday Craft and Gift Marketplace, Nov. 3 and 4. Jessica said she is hoping to begin selling in Oregon and Northwest Ohio soon. Her family is still in the area. Her mother and stepfather, Tammi and Dwight Neate, live in Oregon. Her brother, Cameron Neate, is a senior at Clay. Up until Wednesday, she was operating the company as a cottage business and was prohibited from selling outside of Michigan. Jessica has received her commercial kitchen license. “It is just me making the jam right now,” she said. “My daughter is at the market with me and she preps the fruit for me too. She is learning the process from start to finish. I am looking forward to coming into Oregon and the community and hopefully making new flavors of jam in the future.”

Rachel Brown in charge of two college golf programs Rachel Brown (Genoa) is in her third season as the women’s golf coach and first as the men’s golf coach at Thomas More College. She will also be in her first year as the administrative assistant in the College’s athletic department. In just her second season (2016Rachel Brown 17), Brown guided the Saints to their first-ever Presidents’ Athletic Conference Championship and first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III National Championship, while being named PAC Coach of the Year. The Saints finished 22nd in the nation at the NCAA Championship. Proir to being named the head women’s coach, Brown spent the 2014-15 academic year as Thomas More’s assistant women’s golf coach under then head coach Drew Cooper. Brown, who is a 2013 graduate of Northern Kentucky University, was a fouryear letter winner for the Norse and was the team’s No. 1 golfer her last three seasons. She graduated, ranked sixth in program history in career scoring average, fourth in rounds played, fourth in counting scores and fifth in birdies. Brown was a two-time regional qualifier and made the NKU All-Academic Team in 2013. Brown was the 2012-13 co-president of the NKU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and won the Ms. Norse Award, which goes to a senior student-athlete, who not only excels on the playing field, but also has to do well in the classroom and be active in the community. She was one of four NKU student-athletes to receive the Career Service Award.

Genoa seniors 'want to win' Genoa volleyball returns six letter win-

Week

The Press Box ners, including senior outside hitter Alexis Bryer, senior middle hitter Sasha Roberts and junior setter Carolyn Lutz. Lutz had 336 assists and 48 aces, Roberts 33 solo blocks and senior libero Amanda Tucholski returns after getting 394 digs and earning honorable mention AllNorthern Buckeye Conference last year. Coach Jillian Young says Bryer’s hitting “has improved tremendously,” which will make her and Roberts the team top front line hitters. In addition, junior outside hitter Colleen Traver is “very consistent” and sophomore opposite hitter Samantha DaVerna has “improved” after gaining experience on the club volleyball circuit. She adds that senior middle hitter Sydney Goetz will contribute and freshman outside hitter Sydney MacDonald has “a lot of potential.” Last year, Genoa was 7-16 overall and 3-11 in the NBC. Young believes her team can improve on that, saying her team is “better than last year but we are in a tough league.” She cites Eastwood, Lake, Fostoria and Otsego as “all very good programs.” Young added, “We have a solid team this year with talent and four seniors who want to win,” but stresses that her team lacks in height. This is Young’s third season at the helm, and each year the team’s record has improved. Her first season, the Comets were 4-18. Assisting her is junior varsity coach Andrea Harmeyer.

Eagles to be in mix Eastwood girls soccer is returning nine letter winners from a squad that finished 11-6-1 overall and placed third in the NBC with a 6-3-1 record. The Eagles only league losses were to Lake (3-2), Genoa (1-0) and Woodmore (1-

0). They also held the Flyers to a 1-1 tie and defeated Woodmore, 2-0, and Genoa, 3-2. The Eagles opened the season 2-0 and have not given up a goal, shutting out Lake in a league encounter, 3-0, and Bowling Green in non-league action, 4-0. Returning are seniors Allie Lucas, Hannah Owens and Staci Bienko, all second team All-Northern Buckeye Conference selections. Junior Raegen Stewart and senior Maggie Cochran were honorable mention All-NBC. Coach Megan Rutherford is going into her eighth season as Eastwood coach, accumulating an all-time record of 75-28-16. Her teams were Division II district runnerup in 2014 and D-III district runner-up in 2016. This year, she sees her team in the mix for an NBC title again. “The league is going to be strong again with us battling with Lake, Genoa, and Woodmore for the top spot,” Rutherford said. In the tournament last year, the Eagles opened up with a 12-0 rout over Otsego, a team they had defeated during the regular season 8-0 and 10-0. However, Genoa defeated the Eagles in a second round game, 2-1 in overtime, despite Eastwood being the higher seed. Non-league losses last year were to Liberty-Benton (1-0), Van Buren (10). Other wins were over Perkins (5-0), Bowling Green (6-0), Rossford (7-1 and 5-0), Swanton (2-1) and Central Catholic (30).

Behind Peyton Bloomer, Rockets hope to take next step By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Oak Harborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division championship run last season coincided with a 24-game win streak, but the Rockets are looking for more this year. Oak Harbor is picked to win the SBC Bay again, but an even longer tournament run would be a better prize. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to do better than reaching a regional final, but Coach Jacki Gezo hopes that her team is capable of taking the next step. First, however, is the league â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Gezo says that will bring a challenge. The Rockets opened the season 5-1, but have already suffered a league loss to Huron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The SBC is always strong and brings plenty of competition,â&#x20AC;? fourth-year coach Jacki Gezo (50-21) said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any game lightly and have to be ready to play every game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have good team chemistry and no hesitation of going after the ball. We have a hard working and competitive group of girls who have high expectations for the season.â&#x20AC;? The Rockets opened the 2018 season winning three matches in straight sets, including avenging last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division II district final tournament loss to Central Catholic. Last year, the Rockets finished 24-1 and a perfect 12-0 in the Bay Division. The 24-game winning streak ended when the Rockets fell to Central 25-18, 25-11, 19-25, 25-15 at Findlay High School. The school record 24 wins earned Gezo Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Coach of the Year honors. She also earned District 6 Coach of the Year in 2016 and 2017 and the statewide D-II Coaches Achievement Award last year. Oak Harbor returns six players, including 6-foot-1 senior middle hitter/defensive specialist Peyton Bloomer. The Rockets started out the season 3-0. Bloomer finished the 2017 season leading the team in almost every stat category, including a team-leading 487 kills and 242 digs and an impressive kill percentage of 58.3. She also eclipsed the 1,000 kill total

Oak Harbor senior volleyball players Peyton Bloomer, Kaytlynn Sandwisch, Alaina Hetrick, Jill Thorbahn and Logan Harris. (Photo courtesy Jacki Gezo) last season. Bloomer also led the way with 88 blocks, 835 attacks, a hit percentage of .527, 25 aces, and helped defensively, too, with 242 digs. That was the second most digs on the team, and she was an outside hitter. She has verbally committed to Cleveland State University. She was first team All-Ohio, Sandusky Bay Conference Player of the Year, Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press POY, District 6 POY, and should we even include that she was first team all-league and District 6? That goes without saying. Bloomer and another front row player with significant height, 6-foot-1 senior middle hitter Logan Harris, are both fouryear letter winners and â&#x20AC;&#x153;great leadersâ&#x20AC;? for a squad expected to go places, says Gezo. Harris was second team all-league and District 6 last year. Bloomer and Harris are not even close to being the lone talents on an experienced Oak Harbor squad. Five-foot-6 senior setter

Kaytlynn Sandwisch had over 239 digs and 700 assists last year, surpassing the 1,000 mark in assists in 2017. Sandwisch, who Gezo calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart player and a great leader,â&#x20AC;? was first team all-league and third team District 6. They are joined by three more seniors, 5-3 defensive specialist/libero Alaina Hetrick, 5-6 outside hitter/defensive specialist Olivia Rahm and 5-9 right side setter Jill Thorbahn. Gezo says Rahm and Hetrick are both â&#x20AC;&#x153;quick and read the ball well.â&#x20AC;? Gezo adds that two freshmen, 5-4 right side setter/defensive specialist Reagan Schultz and 5-7 outside hitter Grace Wolf, along with sophomore defensive specialist 5-7 Sophie Eli â&#x20AC;&#x153;all bring energy and are very athletic.â&#x20AC;? In avenging their loss to Central, Oak Harbor swept the Irish, 25-6, 25-17, 2513. Sandwisch led in assists with 32, Bloomer led in kills with 20 and Harris had seven. Hetrick led with 14 digs and Rahm had 11 digs. Sandwisch added three aces.

Bloomer added six blocks and Harris added five. Oak Harbor swept Rossford, 25-15, 2513, 25-16. Sandwisch led in assists with 41, Bloomer lead in kills 24 and Harris and Wolf added 10. Rahm led with 16 digs and Hetrick added 11 digs. Rahm had three aces and Harris added two. The Rockets also swept Genoa, 25-5, 25-11, 25-18. Sandwisch led in assists with 36, Bloomer led in kills with 21 and Wolf and Harris both added nine kills. Leading in digs was Rahm with 11 and Sandwisch with 10. Bloomer had five blocks and Harris had two and Bloomer added three aces and Reagan Schultz added two aces. Oak Harbor lost Tuesday to Huron 25-16, 25-17, 25-19. Leading in assists was Sandwisch with 21. Leading in kills was Bloomer and Harris, both with 10. Sandwisch led with 15 digs and Hetrick with 13. Gezo said last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success brought a lot of energy to the program, and they did lose senior leadership to graduation. However, for the underclassmen, playing in high profile games should help them get ready for this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so much fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great group of girls that had an incredible season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say goodbye,â&#x20AC;? said Oak Harbor coach Jackie Gezo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They represented Oak Harbor well. The seniors, their leadership will be hard to replace â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built some great friendships and made some special memories. To have these seniors win five games as freshmen and turn it around and win 24 is amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great group of girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fun for the girls to play in front of these crowds. The girls loved the atmosphere. It was fun for them and it was fun for the community. It was great to have so much support. People coming out and watching and people in town telling us that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a great year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great feeling. (Then-Athletic Director) Drew (Grahl) said that our match against Willard was the most people heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever seen at a volleyball match.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gezo said the team was a unique blend of talent and athleticism mixed with the right chemistry, something that made for a special group.

Gibsonburg, Helena drivers in the mix at finish line By Brian Liskai Special to The Press Liskai2x@roadrunner.com Mark Keegan Classic Championship Night lived up to all the hype and then some. In two separate races at Attica Raceway Park, a Gibsonburg and Helena driver were in the mix at the finish line. One was involved in a race-ending accident while the other came away with a track championship. Waterville’s Travis Philo and Gibsonburg’s Craig Mintz tangled coming to the checkers in the 410 Sprint feature with Philo flipping across the line for his second consecutive victory at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant. For Philo the win was tempered by the fact his destroyed car sat in victory lane attached to a wrecker. The victory was his fourth career win at Attica. “I’m pissed because we just destroyed a really good race car. We still won so part of me is happy. A couple of those late cautions I knew Craig got around (Helena racer Stuart) Brubaker and he could run the bottom so that last restart I went to the bottom. I don’t know if we were counting laps for fuel but was spittering and sputtering that last lap so I went to the bottom...we should have had a fuel stop,” said Philo. “The top was the dominate line in three and four and I went to the bottom and didn’t get a good run and we came together at the wall. Not his fault, not my fault, just hard racing,” Philo continued. “I have to thank all my guys, Keith, Red and my dad, my grandparents. We’ll be back next week to hopefully get an All Star win,” Philo added. While that the ending was wild in the feature, the battle for the track championship was also exciting as eight time champion Byron Reed came into the night with a one point advantage over Stuart Brubaker. Brubaker battled in the top three throughout the feature and when the caution flew with 12 laps to go, Reed was right on Brubaker’s rear bumper. The pair waged an all out war until Reed spun with eight laps to go. Brubaker drove to a third place finish and scored his first ever 410 track championship to go with his 305 sprint

Then the next caution I look up and he’s fifth and I’m in third and I’m like crap there’s two cars between us. I was more nervous before the heat. I don’t know if we touched and he spun...he knows I don’t race that way,” Brubaker said. “We came out at the beginning of the year strong with this car and that’s what got us here. We had a slump for a couple of weeks but I think we’re similar to those guys if I hit my marks. I’ve worked a lot to get a track championship. We’ve run four or five years in a 410 and this is my first one,” continued Brubaker of his No. 35. Fremont’s Paul Weaver held off a late race charge from Jamie Miller to not only win the Fremont Fence 305 feature but the division track title. It is the third straight track championship for Weaver and his fourth overall Attica title in the 305 sprints. The victory is the fourth win of the year at

Attica for Weaver and the 47th of his career in the division to lead all drivers. Weaver has six total victories in 2018. “I did everything wrong tonight. I took gear out and the track had too much bite and the thing wouldn’t take off. I had to throw it in the corners and hope it got slick and it kind of did. I wanted to be on the top where Jamie was but it was too tight up there and I didn’t want to bobble. I’ve had all these health issues this year so this track championship is nice,” said Weaver beside his No. 1W. The mini-sprints made only their ﬁfth ever appearance at Attica and Cincinnati, Ohio's Brad Strunk put on a dominating performance to take the feature win. "I raced motorcycles for a living until I was 28...until 2002. With age comes the cage so I got into the Lightening Sprints. I just drove as hard as I could for 20 laps. It was awesome. What a great facility and great program you put on here. I hope Attica has us back next year and we can bring some more cars," said Strunk.

Clay’s Mady Arquette 8-0 in dual matches to open season By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com If Clay senior Mady Arquette has any other hobbies besides tennis, she isn’t letting on. “This is my life,” she said, “365 days a year.” The Eagles’ No. 1 singles player is on schedule to graduate with every girls tennis record Clay has. Two years ago, as a sophomore, she became the first Clay tennis player, girl or boy, to compete at the state tournament. She plans to get there again, having fallen one win short of qualifying again last fall. “It has stuck with me,” Arquette said of losing her Division I district semifinal match last season. “Knowing I was that close to making it...I just couldn’t convert games and pull out the win. It’s fueled me this past year. That (state tournament) is the ultimate goal. If I do the best I can and I (still) miss it by one match, I can’t ask for anything more my senior season.” Arquette often blitzes opponents, like she did on Monday in a 6-0, 6-0 win over her Southview counterpart. She raised her career record to 87-21 with that win, and she’s 8-0 in dual matches this season. Arquette went 2-1 at the Ottawa Hills Invitational, losing to Central Catholic junior Ava McQuillin in two sets. McQuillin also beat Arquette in last year’s Three Rivers Athletic Conference tournament title match. Arquette said she tries not to be too hard on herself after a loss. “I’m ‘heat of the moment,’ and I want to do really well,” she said. “At the end of the day, my mom (Sarah) always told me if you did your best, there’s nothing else you could do that day. Play the best you can. She taught me since I was little to not react after a match and to keep my composure.” Clay tennis coach Walt Ralph, who is in his 22nd season with the Eagles, called Arquette “about as polished a player as we’ve had at Clay.” “I got to know her a little bit during the summer before her freshman year,” Ralph said. “She was driven. She’s been very fo-

Mady Arquette. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) cused about tennis since the day I met her. She has specific goals — a picture of where she wanted to be tennis-wise. She had a plan on how to get there and a willingness to put in the time an energy to get to that plan. That’s rare. “Part of that package, too, is her family and parents were willing to make sacrifices along the way. She goes to camps down in Florida and does two or three lessons a

week. She’s all about it.” Arquette said her dad, Darren, got her involved with tennis. The two of them would go next door and hit balls against the school’s brick wall. Playing with friends came next, followed by tennis clinics. “My parents have been amazing role models,” Arquette said. “Win or lose, they’re always there telling me I did a great job and letting me know they’re proud of me.”

Mady isn’t the only Arquette on Clay’s tennis team. Her younger sister, Kenzie, a sophomore, has shuffled between playing third singles and first doubles this season. “Having a sibling is like walking a tightrope,” Mady said. “In my situation, it’s playing tennis. Both of us have very strong personalities and I know for me, it’s difficult to step back and understand she’s old enough to do this on her own. Tennis development, she knows what she’s doing. She always rises to the occasion and she has improved leaps and bounds.” Arquette said her favorite tennis player is Romanian star Simona Halep, the topranked female in the world. “She is,” Arquette said, “a great example of never giving up in a match and always showing that constant fight.” Arquette hones her trade at Twos Athletic Club in South Toledo, where she also works the front desk, and at Shadow Valley, where she takes lessons from coowner Jim Davis. “I do a lot of clinics at Twos,” Arquette said. “(Instructors) Mark Faber and Kim Pacella have helped my game grow through clinics and lessons and just being positive mentors.” Ralph said Arquette has improved her consistency the past few years and is showing more of a willingness to make adjustments on the fly. Arquette said she relies on her strong first serve and she feels comfortable at the net. “She’s everything you would want on your tennis team,” Ralph said. “She’s not only a gifted athlete and player, but she has a team focus about her. She doesn’t have any sense of entitlement that sometimes those kind of gifted players may operate with. She’s not only gifted, but she’s a terrific team leader.” Arquette said she wants to play tennis in college and study business. Her goal is to own her own business and coach tennis at either the high school or collegiate level. For the time being, her focus is on her next match and getting back to the state tournament. “I’d like to see her give states another crack,” Ralph said. “I know Mady will come out and give her best every single day. That’s just who she is.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Dangers of Social Media A recent survey by the Royal Society for Public Health suggests that social media can be bad for our mental health. Anyone who has ever spent time on Facebook or Instagram probably knows that the images and messages there can make you feel insecure, envious and inferior. Cases of cyber-bullying and other forms of online shaming or intimidation are too well-known for anyone to doubt this possible hazard. The survey of approximately 1500 people aged 14- 24 found that social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram increased feelings of anxiety in over half of the respondents. Seven out of ten of the respondents said that Instagram made them feel worse about their body

Northwood

image and 2/3 of them said that Facebook made cyberbullying worse. Those who spent more than two hours per day using social media were most at risk, and the researchers are calling for measures aimed at educating users on how to use social media in a positive way. So use social media, but use it wisely, and always only for good. “Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone.”—2 Timothy 2: 22-24 NIV
