Tori Romstadt takes on soccer, cancer and wins By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

a ductless gland at the bottom of the neck that secretes hormones to regulate growth.

Tori Romstadt scored her first goal of the season on Monday in the first half of the Northwood girls soccer team’s 2-2 tie with rival Cardinal Stritch. “She was in the right place at the right time,” Rangers coach Monte Bandeen said. “We look for her to score. She’s a hard worker up top. She creates a lot of goals with her hustle.” The fact that Romstadt has played at all this season is nothing short of amazing. Turn the calendar back to late March. Tori noticed something wasn’t right with her neck, so she asked her mother, Amy, to take a look. “She came downstairs one day and said she had a lump on her throat,” Amy said. “She didn’t have any pain, and you couldn’t see it unless she tilted her head back. If you looked right at her, you couldn’t tell there was a lump. It looked like half an egg sticking out of her throat. I said, ‘Oh, my gosh!’ “My initial reaction was it was strep. She’s trim, athletic, not a chubby kid. She plays soccer and runs track and she’s in pristine physical health. She had no symptoms at all. No hair loss, no weight loss ...” The Romstadts, including Tori’s father, Tim, took a wait-and-see approach to see if the lump would go away. It didn’t. Tori, 15, the youngest of five children, got tested for strep throat and it came up negative, so Tori went to get an ultrasound. “They called us back and said they wanted us to see our family physician,” Amy said. “Their initial thought was that it was a vascular issue. The surgeon wanted a CT and said they wanted to send us up to the University of Michigan.” In June, Tori went to the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor for tests. Doctors found that Tori was not having any vascular issues in her neck, but they did not rule out thyroid cancer. The thyroid is

Thyroid cancer prognosis The lump turned out to be papillary carcinoma, the most common type of thyroid cancer, which accounts for approximately 80 percent of cases. It most often affects people ages 30-50. Amy informed Tori of the doctor’s cancer diagnosis on Friday, July 13. “I was OK at first,” Tori said, “and then it kind of processed through my mind it was cancer. (The news) kind of shook me up a little bit. You put a label on anything, especially the word ‘cancer,’ and it would shake anybody up. They (doctors) explained the process of how to get the cancer out. All cancer is bad, but they said if you were to have any type of cancer, this would be the cancer to have because of the process of getting it out of your body.” Dr. Andrew Rosko, an ear, nose and throat specialist, performed the surgery to remove Tori’s thyroid on Aug. 3 at Mott Children’s Hospital. “He took her entire thyroid out and she will have to be on Levothyroxin (a thyroid medication) the rest of her life,” Amy said. “Several lymph nodes were taken out on the entire right side of her neck. It’s healing up really nice. She’s got a pride about it, like it’s kind of cool.” Tori was back playing soccer within a couple weeks after her surgery. She is not required to undergo chemotherapy or radiation treatments, according to Amy.

Nexus revenue questions

Sen. Gardner to meet with Woodmore board By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com State Senator Randy Gardner, R – Bowling Green, said last week he’s accepted an invitation by the Woodmore school board to discuss property tax revenues from the Nexus pipeline and he tentatively plans to attend the board’s October meeting.

“I told them I would be glad to meet with them and talk,” Gardner said. “The challenge is going to be there is not going to be any specific answer as to how much money will be available from any pipeline company and there is no definitive answer it will have on state funding. By the time this revenue would be available the next state budget would be in effect so the funding formula is likely to change. “It also depends on other factors that

happen to the district – valuations change, student population changes. One factor of state aid is the local property tax wealth of the school district. Arguably, if there is a pipeline that adds valuation to the school district, the total value of state aid could be affected. But there is no way to answer that precisely. So if someone says what’s going to happen in 2020 or 2021, once construc-

Lake Twp.: Lemoyne Rd. property to be auctioned By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“

The whole street is turning into an eyesore.

“

The Lake Township trustees last week agreed to retain Amlin Auction, Holland, O., to sell property along Lemoyne Road. An auction date of Oct. 29 was approved. Last month, administrator Mark Hummer asked the trustees to consider placing the property up for sale, saying it wasn’t needed. The township purchased the property nine years ago. Two parcels sit between Lemoyne and I-280 and another is located on the east side of the interstate. The purchase included the site of a former Ohio State Highway Patrol post that was closed in 2007 when the patrol opened a new Wood County post near Bowing Green. The building is equipped with a 140foot radio tower and back-up generator. Township officials had planned to take their time to convert it into an emergency operations center but had to expedite their plans when a June 2010 tornado demolished the township administration building on Cummings Road. Police emergency dispatching service was routed through the Northwood Police Department’s 9-1-1 system immediately after the tornado. The township resumed the service but it has since been taken over by the Wood County Sheriff’s Office. Other equipment has been moved to the township fire station on Ayers Road. Hummer said the township is still paying for basic maintenance, including heating, for the building that is equipped with a well and septic system. Hummer told the trustees Tuesday he’s received a few calls expressing interest in the property since word got out the township was considering putting it on the market.

Property complaint In other business Tuesday, the trustees heard a Bailey Road resident complain about the condition of a house on the road. Glen Bodi told the trustees the house has been abandoned and fallen into disrepair. Siding has been removed and trash is strewn in the yard, which is overgrown. Hummer said the township is aware of the situation and has been working with the owner to have it remediated or razed. He said it took the township 18 months to complete the legal process of having an abandoned structure on E. Broadway razed. Bodi also complained about what he described as the lack of progress on property adjacent to Bailey that is being used as a transfer station for leaves to be used as compost. In May, the trustees agreed to a request to rezone the two parcels covering 2.3 acres along Woodville Road from R-2 residential to B-2 general commercial but included two stipulations. The owner, Jim Mlynek, who owns Woodville Road Nursery, must construct an earthen mound at least 4 feet high with trees along the perimeter of the western side of the property that abuts Bailey Road residences. Also, Mlynek would have to agree to not place an access road from Bailey to the parcels. Mlynek has six months to complete the

The condition of the road itself also drew criticism from Bodi, who said the board of trustees in 2008 told him it would be repaved. Rich Welling, a trustee, said the reces-

sion took a toll on revenues used for road repairs but noted Bailey is on the township’s list of projects when funding becomes available. “The whole street is turning into an eyesore,” Bodi said.

Rally breakfast set The Committee for Children, a group promoting passage of Issue 9, the Lucas County Children Services levy, is hosting a breakfast to rally support among the community’s male leaders for this important community issue. “100 Men for Lucas County Children” will take place Wednesday, Sept. 26, from 7:30-9 a.m. at the Park Inn by Radisson, 101 North Summit St. in downtown Toledo. Issue 9 is a 1.85 mill property tax measure. As a renewal, it is not a new tax. The owner of a $100,000 home will continue to pay $56.66 a year for 10 years to ensure that Lucas County Children Services has stable and sustainable funding to protect children from abuse or neglect at a time when the number of children needing help has increased due, in large part, to the opiate epidemic. Tickets to the “100 Men” breakfast are available on Eventbrite, on the lucas4kids.com website, or by contacting Deborah Rayford at 567-318-3161. The event is sponsored by the Committee for Children, Suzette Cowell, Treasurer.

Nexus revenue questions

Senator Randy Gardner to meet with Woodmore board

tion of the pipeline is completed and the property valuation is determined youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not going to know the answer to that question precisely.â&#x20AC;? According to one estimate, Woodmore schools could receive about $5.3 million over five years from the pipeline when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating. But even if the pipeline is operational this year, it would be 2020 at the earliest that school districts would receive property tax revenues from it, according to the Ohio Department of Taxation. Tax revenues disbursed by county auditors to school districts in February 2020 would be based on assessed valuations certified by the tax department in October 2019. Sen. Gardner said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible once the pipeline is constructed, Nexus could file an appeal for a lower valuation to try to

reduce the tax burden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair for people to not

make any conclusions about what a district would realize or what impact it would have on state aid,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to tell.â&#x20AC;? School boards and administrations as well as other public entities along the pipeline route have had to urge their constituencies to not view the prospective tax reveSen. Randy nues as the answer to all their financial Gardner needs. Adam Parker, a spokesman for Nexus, last week said the project is in the final stages and the company has filed a re-

quest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to place the pipeline into commercial service in the third quarter of this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In its first five years of operation, NEXUS is estimated to generate cumulative tax revenue of $390 million, of which approximately $116 million is estimated to support local school districts in Ohio. According to an economic study performed by Economic & Policy Resources, the construction phase of the project will generate 5,325 jobs and $565 million in wages in Ohio,â&#x20AC;? he said by email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tax estimates were prepared by Public Finance Resources, Inc., in June 2016 based on the scope of the project at the time the study was conducted. These tax estimates are provided for illustrative purposes only, are subject to the final project scope and should not be relied on to determine future budgets.â&#x20AC;?

Roof-raising celebration Paula and Rick Hernandez, of Elmore, have been named as the 2018 winner of a new roof in Residential Renovations’ No Roof Left Behind™ initiative. The Hernandezes were nominated by Kalan Steiner after hearing about Residential Renovations roof give-away on Facebook. The Hernandezes have been together for 24 years. They were blessed with a son, Christopher, who was born with Down syndrome, which has required ongoing medical needs. Paula was laid off from her job a few years back, which left Rick providing for the family. Over the years, the Hernandezes have provided the best life possible for Christopher that their budget would allow, along with his medical needs, which meant moving some household repairs to the back burner including a muchneeded new roof.

Residential Renovations has scheduled the new roof installation and celebration party for Saturday, Oct. 20, weather permitting. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held Saturday, Oct. 27. Residential Renovations is inviting the community at large to join the Hernandezes for a Roof Raising Installation Celebration, which will be a family-friendly, festivalstyle neighborhood event. All are welcome. The Hernandez family will receive a new GAF Timberline roof and installation for their home and free-standing garage at no cost. “We are so grateful for the opportunity. Winning a new roof from Residential Renovations lifts a large burden on so many levels,” the couple said. “We are extremely excited about the installation and want to personally thank Residential Renovations for the wonderful opportunity.”

Benefit Breakfast for shelter The Knights of Columbus of St. Boniface Church are holding a breakfast to benefit the Humane Society of Ottawa County, Sunday, Sept. 23 from 9-11 a.m. at the church, 215 Church St., Oak Harbor. French toast and sausage will be served. The event will be a puppy and kitten shower, and those attending are asked to bring an item for the animals at the shelter.

Items to be collected include Magic Erasers, liquid laundry detergent, dryer sheets, paper towels, 13- and 30-gallon garbage bags, white computer paper, Purina Cat Chow (Gentle or Naturals); dog food with no dyes, dog treats and cat treats. The cost for breakfast is $7 for adults, $6 for senior citizens, and $4 for children under the age of 12 years.

Twitter a valuable PR tool for Amazon Letters In Corporate World, when trouble pops up and things get sticky, CEOs don’t wring their hands and try to dodge the issue. No-sir-ee, the chief gets paid the big bucks to step forward confidently and seize control… by ringing up the company’s PR consultants and having them try to dodge the issue. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is an expert at this. The uber-rich online marketing colossus has been hit with a long string of exposés about the corporation’s nasty practices. From profiteering as a flagrant tax dodger and predatory killer of independent, local businesses to running a massive network of publicly subsidized warehouses with sweatshop labor, Amazon’s carefully-crafted image as a “cool” company is… well, getting fried in negative headlines and online chatter. Thus, Bezos (known for thinking outside the cage), has hired a flock of tweety birds to counter the negativity. They’re former warehouse workers who now tweet full-time about how absolutely wonderful

Guest Editorial those warehouse jobs are. The tweeters tell us that air circulation in the warehouses is “very good;” in a 10-hour shift, they assure us, lucky workers get not one, but two 30-minute breaks. And they’re even allowed bathroom breaks (within reason, of course). Bezos has given his Twitter testifiers the title of Amazon “ambassadors,” and each of their Twitter accounts is branded to look alike, topped with the corporation’s happy smile logo. It’s claimed that the tweeters aren’t scripted or told what to write — but you can bet every tweet is monitored by corporate supervisors. And note that Amazon won’t let reporters interview any of them. As Senator Bernie Sanders said of this PR gimmick: “If Amazon actually paid all its workers a living wage and treated them

Use your tranquil place to your advantage Taking a vacation is a great escape from the daily grind. A vacation provides an opportunity to relax and unwind. As beneficial as vacations are, most people take only one or two vacations a year. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could take a vacation any time you wanted to, regardless of your location? You can do this by escaping to a tranquil place you create in your mind. Your perception is your reality. You control your perception. Therefore, you control your reality. You have the ability to direct your mind to create a tranquil place, which you can visit at any time regardless of whatever else is happening in your life. Conversely, your mind can be in constant turmoil. In this mode, there is no escape, regardless of your geographic location. People who are in this mental state never get away, even when they are actually on vacation. For them, stress is a constant companion. Visualization is a powerful technique which creates the type of mental experience you have. Your mind can be in continuous agitation, or it can be tranquil. You decide the characteristics of your mental environment. At any time, you can choose a tranquil place in your mind. Visualization directs your mind to create whatever scenario you desire. To your mind, visualization can be just as real as an actual physical experience. An intense dream exemplifies this phenomenon. You wake up from such a dream with the same physical responses as if you had been through the actual event. Athletes understand this amazing power of visualization. They use it to hone their athletic abilities even when they are not physically practicing their sport. You can harness these benefits of visualization also. There are numerous approaches which will take you to your tranquil place. You can imagine any place you have actually been which had been calming. In your

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden mind, relive the experience. Involve all of your senses. Hear the sounds. Smell all of the aromas. Look around at all of the beauty. The more detailed your re-creation, the better. Getting lost in these thoughts transports you to a tranquil place. You can also visualize places you would like to visit. Imagine what every detail of your experience might be like. In your mind, you can explore any and every destination. You can experience the people, food, and all of the unique experiences. Relive positive personal experiences from your past. In your mind, recreate past pleasant encounters. Anticipate future enjoyable experiences as well. Immersing yourself in these positive emotions creates your tranquil place. Visualizing experiences you want to have is another effective way of creating a tranquil place. Through visualization you create any circumstances you can imagine. You can be any person, in any position,

or career. There are no limitations to the scenarios you experience in your mind. Another method of creating a tranquil place for yourself is by imagining your life exactly the way you want it to be. This is in essence a mental movie which you write, direct, and star in. In your movie, you determine the events of each scene, along with the ending. Your tranquil place is filled with solutions. It’s not a place where you go to complain about, or obsess over problems. In your tranquil place, any solution is possible. Not only is your tranquil place a calming retreat, your tranquil place programs your mind to bring your visualization to reality. Your mind works non-stop processing the images you create. As an added bonus, visualization makes it possible to turn your tranquil place into reality. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

Discouraging discourse To the editor: Like many others, I have been disheartened and discouraged by the political discourse and the lack of will among our representatives to work for the good of the people of our country. There are many issues that we need to have our elected officials actively participate in, using constructive dialog and common sense. I (casually) know our representative to Congress, Bob Latta. I’ve attended church with him, watched his girls grow up, seen him occasionally in the community. Unfortunately, Bob is not interested in fulfilling the requirements of his job, even a most basic one: he won’t meet with his constituents. I can only conclude this is because he doesn’t actually vote in the true interests of the people who live in his district and he knows it. He voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and he does not speak up to protect children. What he does do is vote for tax cuts for the wealthiest and votes how his party (and their donors) demand. Fortunately, we do have a good option to replace him in Michael Galbraith. He has committed to protecting and fighting for all his constituents. Dearest to my heart, he agrees that health care is a right for all. This is not only a moral choice; it saves money and improves everyone’s quality of life. Michael has also committed to working to protect our environment. For our water and air to be clean, we need to have the EPA working for us. We must continue to develop clean energy systems. There are many other protections needed: social security, families, rural communities, seniors, students. And most of all, our democracy itself. Maria Zirbel Bowling Green

Agriculture Study says

Ohio farms feel effect of globalization Consolidation and globalization in the agriculture sector have serious implications for Ohio’s family farmers, ranchers, and rural communities, according to a study by Family Farm Action and the Organization for Competitive Markets. Concentration of corporate power in agriculture has allowed multinational agribusiness interests to exert growing influence over policy and programs and left little competition and fewer opportunities for the state’s next generation of farmers and ranchers, while extracting wealth out of local economies. Key findings include: • The economic outlook for Ohio farmers showed several disturbing facts, including rural per-capita income in Ohio lagging behind the average for Ohio by almost $6,500, and value added to the economy by Ohio’s agricultural sector dropping from approximately $3.2 billion in 2013 to just

over $1.2 billion in 2017. • Projected increases in corn and soybean seed prices following the recent megamergers of Dow-DuPont and BayerMonsanto will take over $15.5 million from rural communities in Ohio to multinational companies. In Ohio, corn and soybeans make up over 50 percent of farm receipts. • Unlike other Midwestern states, Ohio does not limit corporate foreign ownership of land, exposing farmers and rural communities to unfair competition and wealth extraction by foreign corporations. Today, $1 billion of agriculture land in Ohio is foreign-owned, and Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods has begun purchasing Ohio grain elevators. • Ohio cattle producers’ tax funds have been used to influence elections in the state and to promote policies favoring industrialized agriculture interests, driving the cattle producers out of business.

• The impact of an increasing number of concentrated animal feeding facilities in Northwest Ohio’s western Lake Erie watershed has significantly contributed to nearly a half million Lake Erie area residents losing their drinking water due to the formation of toxic algae blooms in western Lake Erie. More than $3 billion in Ohio taxpayer dollars has been spent to combat the issue without success. • One bright spot in Ohio is the growth of an alternative food system that supports good stewardship of the environment and improves profitability for independent family famers. If only 5 percent of the billions of food dollars spent in Ohio were to shift to supporting locally produced food, 32,000 farming jobs could be created. One survey showed 98 percent of Ohioans believe the government should be engaged in the development of local food systems.

Locally grown food vital to school meals A national survey of school meal program directors shows districts are adopting widespread efforts to incorporate locally grown foods in school meals and promote the choices to foster healthier eating habits for students. The survey finds: • 59.9 percent of responding districts offer locally sourced fruits and vegetables. • 52.2 percent include preferences for local or regional sourcing of foods in solicitations or purchase specifications. • 48 percent% have implemented Farm to School initiatives.

• 34.2 percent utilize school gardens to pro-

mote healthier food choices. The survey also shows school districts are utilizing more tactics - holding student taste tests, locally sourcing produce and scheduling recess before lunch - to increase student consumption of healthy school meals and combat food waste. The findings are part of School Nutrition Association (SNA)’s “School Nutrition Operations Report: The State of School Nutrition 2018,” based on survey responses from 1,550 school districts nationwide.

“School nutrition professionals are determined to find new ways to ensure students enjoy the healthy options available with school meals and benefit from all the nutrients they provide,” said SNA President Gay Anderson, SNS. Survey results reveal: • 74.5 percent have implemented student taste tests or sampling. • 68 percent offer salad or produce bars. Nearly half of responding districts have schools that have scheduled recess before lunch, a strategy for increasing consumption.

USDA focuses on rural broadband U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue recently unveiled a new webpage featuring information about rural e-Connectivity and the ways the department of agriculture is investing to help deploy high-speed broadband infrastructure in rural America. “Rural high-speed broadband eConnectivity is as important for economic development as rail, roads, bridges and airports – and as vital as the build outs of rural telephone networks were decades ago,” Perdue said. High-speed internet e-Connectivity acts as a catalyst for rural prosperity by enabling efficient, modern communications between rural American households, farms, ranches, businesses, schools and health care centers, he said. Yet, according to the Federal Communications Commission, 80 percent of the 24 million Americans who lack broadband access live in rural areas and on tribal lands. This new website will provide direct access to information on the USDA’s decades-long programs that offer more than $700 million per year for modern broadband e-Connectivity in rural communities. In the coming months, USDA plans to double the longstanding programs with an additional $600 million to expand rural broadband infrastructure in unserved rural areas and tribal lands. The new website includes a feedback form for the general public and interested stakeholders to provide input on the design and requirements of the new pilot program.

Education Published fourth week of month.

Cardinal Stritch changing the course of learning By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School, in Oregon, will expand its and its students’ horizons with a new educational philosophy starting next year.According to Kevin Mullan, Vice President of Advancement, starting next year, students will only be attending school four days a week. Sophomores through seniors will spend their fifth day working at an internship.“This is a major philosophical shift,” Mullan said.” Next year, sophomores, juniors and seniors will have the opportunity to be out in the community working in an internship.”Mullan said beginning in 2019, incoming freshman will be required to complete the internship program as a graduation requirement. “Freshman next year and every year after will be in an internship class,” he said. “Starting with the class of 2023, they will be required to complete a three-year internship program in order to graduate.” Mullan said the school has been working on the internship program for several years. The program, he said, is an expansion of the school’s current senior project. “Right now, our seniors are required to job shadow for a week in their senior year,” Mullan said. “We will now require students to not just shadow, but to do meaningful work. They will actually be ‘hands on’ and not just watch someone doing a job.” The school is working with for-profit and non-profit organizations as well as corporations and major businesses including the United Way, Mercy Health, ProMedica, architectural firms, and even the City of Toledo Mayor’s Office, to provide internships. “We are hearing from the businesses and corporations that they are as excited about this program as we are,” he said.

Members of the Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School class of 2018 participating in their Senior Project. (Submitted photo) “They are thrilled to be able to introduce their work to the next workforce. Our students, for one day a week, will be out working and learning in a career they are interested in. The internships will run the gamut of careers that are out there. This really is a great opportunity for our students.” Mullan said approximately 20 students will begin their internships in January

2019, during the program’s pilot launch. “The initial meeting with students in the pilot program was positive,” Mullan said. “Our parents were very positive. We will match students with their career interests. So far, we have students who will be working in nursing, architecture and computer programming and we even have a student interested in becoming an air traf-

fic controller.” The school will be in charge of the transportation of the students to and from their internships. The school will also make sure students involved in sports will make it to their events and practices. Mullan said the program will cost the school between $250,000 to $500,000 to run. “These are unpaid internships, but we do ask the corporations and businesses to underwrite the internship,” he said. “Our students will graduate with what we call soft skills. They will understand deadlines in the business world, expectations businesses have of their employees and they will understand networking. They will also have references when they apply to colleges, other college internships and jobs later on.” Cardinal Stritch is the first school in the area to offer this program. Mullan said the internship program basically expands the school’s campus to the Toledo area and southeast Michigan. “Our goal is to get kids to Heaven,” Mullan said. “Along the way, students will go to college, get a job, get married and start families. It is our job to help get them through that as well. It is our job to show them that learning is beyond the classroom.” Students will get credit for the internship, Mullan said. He added the program is just one piece of the many changes coming to the school’s pathway to excellence. “We are a college preparatory school, so preparing kids to go to college is very important to us,” he said. “But, in 2018, college may not be the right path for everybody. Preparing for college or the corporate world will never be a bad thing.” For more info on the program please go to www.cardinalstritch.org. Businesses wishing to join in the internship program may contact Kevin Mullan at 419-693-0465.

Tori Romstadt takes on soccer, cancer and wins Continued from front page said. “She came to me two weeks later and said, ‘Coach, I have thyroid cancer.’ My first thought was, ‘holy crap!’ You hear the word ‘cancer’ and you automatically think the worst. Obviously, you have concern for her and you hope for a complete recovery. Then the coach comes out in you, wondering when you’re going to have her back.” Monday’s tie with Stritch left Northwood’s record at 1-2, with three ties, and Tori played in all six games. “She’s not the biggest player in the world, but she plays bigger than what she is,” Bandeen said. “She works hard and is one of the first kids at practice and one of the last ones to leave. She’s a good player, with good skill. She’s still learning the forward position.” Tori missed her first game of the season on Thursday, against Evergreen. Two days earlier, she had to take an oral dose of radioactive iodine, which should kill all the remaining thyroid cells in her body. Doctors instructed her to take a brief break from soccer. “She doesn’t look different at all,” Bandeen said. “Some days she’s a little more tired than others. Besides the scar on her neck, you wouldn’t know anything was ever wrong with her.” Amy said her daughter has been “positive” during the entire ordeal. “She understood the doctor, who had a great bedside manner and spoke with us so we understood each step,” Amy said. “That took a lot of the mystery away from Tori, and she had a positive attitude through all of it.”

“

Rejoining her teammates Tori spent all five days in the hospital, anxiously waiting for the opportunity to rejoin her Northwood teammates. “Soccer is my favorite sport,” she said. “I was really anxious to get back and be there as much as I possibly could. I got released from the hospital on a Wednesday. I came home, took a shower and went straight to

You have to look on the positive side of everything.

Position: Social Studies Instructor at Penta Career Center High School: Tiffin Columbian College: Bowling Green State University (bachelor’s degree), Lourdes University (master’s degree), and Walden University (Ph. D.) Best thing about teaching at Penta: Helping students achieve their dreams after high school by preparing them for careers. My students have taught me: Every student has talents; not all of their talents show up in a traditional high school class. My students have taught me to be creative and flexible in classroom assignments. Historical figure I’d most like to have coffee with: Peter the Great the Tsar of Russia who disguised himself as a laborer and learned how to build ships in a foreign country so that he could build the Russian navy. People would be surprised to know... I own and operate both my own landscaping business and an audio recording studio. When I’m not teaching, I also enjoy... playing guitar in my band, Angola Road. Last movie I saw: “Rabbit-Proof Fence” All-time favorite book: J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” Snack that can usually be found in my desk drawer: I am always on a diet, so my drawers are empty, however, they would be filled with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups if I was not. Song that always makes me want to dance: “She Gave Me Ghosts,” Angola Road Guilty pleasure: I cannot stop eating Wasabi Peas when they are available.

soccer pictures. That was the first time I had seen my entire team; my best friend, Emily (Bowen), came to the hospital to visit me. “I got out of the car, and once they noticed me they had smiles on their faces and gave me hugs. It made me feel like I was a part of the team, like I didn’t miss anything. It felt great.” Tori said she still has short stretches during games when she needs a breather. Most of the time, however, she doesn’t think about her energy level and the fact she recently had surgery. “It feels good to know that everything is going as it should,” Tori said. “I’m on the road to getting back to my normal life again. The biggest thing is (having) patience. If you look at everything so negatively, it’s not going to help at all. I stayed as positive as I could around my friends and family, so they wouldn’t get down or be scared.” Tori started a low-iodine diet on Labor Day, and she remained on that diet through Wednesday. Her immediate food request, according to her mom, was Chick-fil-A and donuts from the Fleitz Pumpkin Farm in Oregon. Tori said her message to anyone her age who is diagnosed with cancer is “to just keep your head up.” “You have to look on the positive side of everything,” she said. “I feel very fortunate that I was able to go through surgery and have everything go as planned. I had the best outcome and I was able to come back in two weeks and play soccer and have no issues.”

Is it time to consider making a mid-life career change? From the Association

American

Counseling

The

Counseling Corner

Current news reports seem to show that in many areas of the country the economy is performing strongly. Housing prices are up, corporate profits are increasing and unemployment rates in most places are at historic lows. An environment like this can be a good time to evaluate your own employment situation and how satisfied you are with both where you’re working and the kind of work you’re doing. If the answers you find show you aren’t enjoying your career, this might be the time to consider a change. While making a mid-life career change can seem frightening for most people, if the alternative is staying in your current position where you’re feeling unhappy and unsatisfied, then such a change is at least worth considering. Start by asking yourself some questions about your current career: • Do you find you dread going to work each day? • Does Sunday afternoon leave you

depressed because Monday morning and work are approaching? • Is your current work providing a sense of contentment or accomplishment? • Are there things you enjoy about your work, or do you find it difficult to be interested and motivated in your job or field of work? • Do you feel your abilities and experience are being underused? If you’re answering yes to the majority of such questions, it’s a strong sign you may be ready for a career change. That doesn’t mean you should head for work tomorrow and hand in your resignation, but rather that it’s time to start researching options.

Your library or local bookstore is a good starting place. There are numerous books on career change that can help you identify your abilities, interests and values. You may also want to consider meeting with a professional counselor specializing in career and employment guidance. Such counselors can provide resources such as interest and personality tests that can help you clarify your goals and identify possible careers. A counselor will work with you to help you narrow your focus and to develop a plan for action. Making a major career change can seem daunting but staying in a job that leaves you unhappy and dissatisfied can lead to serious problems. Done correctly, a career change can give you a better sense of control over your life, and excitement about the opportunities in your future. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Auditor’s report highlights cost-saving resource for schools Spending is expected to exceed revenue for 93 percent (569) of Ohio’s public school districts over the next five years, according to a new report from Ohio Auditor of State Dave Yost’s office. Fortunately, more than half of these districts have carryover balances that will keep them in the black through the period. An analysis of May 2018 five-year financial forecasts prepared by 612 school districts shows that at least 148 are projected to finish fiscal year 2022 with deficit fund balances. That number increases to 207 districts when excluding levies that will need voter approval. Those unaudited figures are self-reported by districts to the Ohio Department of Education.

The special report released by Auditor Yost highlights his office’s cost-saving performance audits as a way to inform decision-making and help struggling districts turn the financial tide. A performance audit is an objective, data-driven analysis of operations designed to help entities find and eliminate unnecessary spending, and improve efficiency and decision-making. Since 2011, the Auditor’s Ohio Performance Team (OPT) has identified more than $138 million in savings for 80 school districts, most of which were in fiscal distress. Those districts yielded an average of $22.50 in savings possibilities for every $1 spent to audit. Along with finding ways to save money,

performance audits advise districts in developing long-term financial strategies. In the report, Yost explains how these strategies are necessary for districts to avoid detrimental layoffs and cuts to programming. “It’s hard to maintain a stable learning environment when your financial health is on the decline,” Yost said. “Having a roadmap for the years ahead enables districts to make incremental adjustments as needed over time, sparing students the shock of a sudden blow caused by a logjam of unresolved financial challenges.” OPT’s audit recommendations are born out of an analysis of a district’s operations, with attention given to how they measure up to peers, industry standards and best

practices. Through these comparisons, auditors zero in on areas of disparity that might indicate an inefficient practice. Performance auditors then project how a school district could benefit from applying a best practice. Districts are not required to follow audit recommendations. Decisions about how to eliminate financial problems remain with district leaders and residents.

Ottawa Co. Career Showcase To celebrate National Manufacturing Day, the Ottawa County Business Advisory Council is holding its 5th Annual Ottawa County Career Showcase on Friday, Oct. 5th from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Gary Anderson Civilian Marksmanship Program Competition Center in Port Clinton. The Business Advisory Council, now in its fifth year, is a collaborative effort between the private sector and K-12 education to set the stage for students to engage with local companies and learn about career opportunities that exist in the same communities where they live, play, and learn. The companies engage students in different hands-on activities that demonstrate skill sets necessary to excel in a broad cross-section of careers, including CNC, culinary/hospitality, electrical, engineering, emerging healthcare, machine operation, maintenance, and welding (among others). Businesses participating at the event include Materion Brush, U.S. Gypsum, Magruder Hospital, Davis Besse, Muffler Smiths, Graymont Dolime and many more. “The students have the opportunity to explore careers in Ottawa County as they’re starting to think about what they want to do in life after high school,” said Jamie Beier Grant, director of the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation. “Whether they want to move to a four-year degree, twoyear degree, or maybe look at attending a joint vocational school, the educational possibilities and local career opportunities are endless.” For more info, visit www.ocic.biz/ ocbac or contact Jamie Beier Grant at 419-

Hercules Tires donation Hercules Tires has given back to the local community and the automotive industry by donating tires to Owens Community College Toledo-area campus and Millstream Career Center in Findlay. The donation will allow students to practice installing tires safely – important hands-on experience they need as they train to become automotive technicians. On Sept. 14, Hercules presented two sets of tires for Owens Community College vehicles to Jennifer Fehnrich, executive director, Owens Community College Foundation. The Terra Trac AT II and the Terra Trac Cross-V will be used on their Chevy Silverado and Ford Escape respectively. “In-kind donations of new products from companies like Hercules adds to the learning environment as students work toward program completion and begin entering the workforce,” Fehnrich said. “Students will install these tires and complete inspections during their handson training.” “Contributing to the future of our industry through hands on learning is important to Hercules Tires,” said Joshua Simpson, senior vice president, proprietary brands at Hercules Tires. “The ability to support education and the advancement of the future automotive professionals complements our value of lead by example, we challenge companies of every size to give back to their communities however they see fit.” Both educational institutions will have students complete an inspection of the vehicle and install the tires which will contribute to their learning journey as future automotive industry professionals.

TLCPL helping entrepreneurs Starting one’s own business may soon become the most viable path to achieving the American dream. It is projected that by 2020, half of all workers will be independent freelancers, responsible for their own fortunes and well-being. Knowing this, Toledo Lucas County Public Library (TLCPL) is partnering with 11 other public library systems from across the U.S. and Canada to explore ways libraries can reach and engage entrepreneurs in their communities — particularly people of color, women, immigrants and veterans. This effort is being led by the Urban Libraries Council, a membership organization of North America’s leading public library systems, as an extension of ULC’s collaboration with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation to strengthen libraries’ capacity to support entrepreneurship. “The library plays an important role in building businesses and our economy,” said ULC President and CEO Susan Benton. “This experience will shape current thinking about how libraries can support entrepreneurship and create new opportunities for all community members.” Participating in this initiative, TLCPL is building on its strong business outreach efforts with free programs such as: • One-to-one assistance with TLCPL business specialist; • Monthly Ask A Patent/Copyright/ Trademark Attorney sessions and support from the library’s official Patent and Trademark Resource Center of the United State Patent and Trademark Office; • Small Business Resource Day on Sept. 25; • LinkedIn and Business Boost classes; • An array of professional-level databases such as Business Plan Pro and Marketing and Sales Plan Pro, which provide resources otherwise beyond the grasp of most small business owners. A comprehensive list of all small business services may be found at toledolibrary.org/businessgrants. To learn more about TLCPL’s role in supporting entrepreneurship, contact David Topeleski at 419-259-5244 or David. Topoleski@toledolibrary.org.

Comets defend title, ‘Cats Greenhill the league’s best By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Dan Greenhill, Woodmore’s talented sophomore golfer, got his Rangefinder as a present last Christmas. He, like many other golfers in the Northern Buckeye Conference, uses the device during matches. “It gives you an accurate number (to the pin),” Greenhill said. “It helps you figure out what clubs to hit and what shots go a certain distance, instead of guessing the yardage markings on the course. It helps you a lot.” Greenhill had a big problem at the start of Tuesday’s NBC tournament at Green Hills in Clyde. “My (Rangefinder) battery died on the first hole,” he said. “The first time I needed to use it, the first hole, it was dead and didn’t give me any distance. I just went about my business and guessed the distance. I think I played the first three holes without it.” On the second hole, Greenhill mentioned to Genoa junior Ethan Smith that the battery was dead. Greenhill said he never asked Smith if he could borrow an extra battery, but he informed Woodmore coach Roger Jimison. Veteran Eastwood coach Mike Gardner eventually stepped in. “The Eastwood coach knows all the rules and he actually had a battery,” Greenhill said. “I didn’t know the rule, but he gave me one and it worked the rest of the day.” One other person – Smith – offered to give Greenhill an extra battery, even though doing so would have given Greenhill a better chance to beat him that day. “I wasn’t surprised (Smith offered),” Greenhill said. “I wasn’t expecting him to have one. Me and Ethan have played in a lot of tournaments together and it was nice of him to offer, but I didn’t want to take it in case there was a rules problem.” Genoa coach Mike DeStazio said Smith, last year’s NBC Player of the Year, and Gardner showed a lot of class in offering to help Greenhill. “Ethan knew they were competing for player of the year,” DeStazio said, “yet he was willing to give him batteries for the Rangefinder. I found that to be one of the most classic acts of sportsmanship I’ve ever seen. Then (Gardner) went in his bag and gave Greenhill the battery, so you had a coach and a player who both showed a lot of sportsmanship. We work hard at Genoa on sportsmanship. We feel that’s what the game is about, and Ethan showed that.” Smith, who helped the Comets defend their NBC title this season, said he thought nothing of giving Greenhill a hand. “I had an extra battery in my bag and it felt like it was the right thing to do, to give it to him,” Smith said. “We’ve been friends for a while through golf. He just said, ‘Thank you.’ He didn’t really react too much to it. I figured he would do the same thing for me if it was the other way around. Being a good sport means more to me than scores and awards.” “A special player” Greenhill ended up taking medalist honors at the NBC tournament, shooting a 5-over-par 76, and earned the NBC Player of the Year honor. He also tied for first place at one of the NBC’s four shootouts. “Me and my coach set goals at the be-

ginning of the year,” Greenhill said. “I just wanted to put myself in the mix for player of the year. That was definitely a goal of mine. I had a lot of support from my teammates and my coach. I’ve had a good season. I played well when I needed to play well, and I was consistent.”

Jimison called Greenhill “a special player.” “His all-around game is pretty darn decent,” Jimison said. “He was a little more sporadic last year, but he’s been very consistent, even during his injury (foot infection) that sidelined him. He played through

Junior teammate Brock Pollauf was the low man for the Comets, shooting a 39-40—79 to take second place. Sophomore Tommy Giles shot 38-45—83, while junior Isaac Simmons shot 48-42—88, junior Mike Rightnowar shot a 93 and sophomore Joey Large shot a 103. Genoa’s 334 team score beat runner-up Eastwood (441) by seven strokes. “It means a lot,” Smith said of repeating. “We’ve been working all season for it, and all offseason. We all played pretty well. We were solid one through six. One guy could have a bad day and another guy would pick him up.” The Comets, who have no seniors, won all four conference shootouts last year and repeated that feat this season. Smith led the way with a 38.6 average in conference matches. “All of these kids contributed in one match or more to contribute to this streak,” DeStazio said. “My one and two men are really good, but it took my three and four men to win that NBC tournament.” Genoa finished the league standings with 48 points to outdistance second place Eastwood (42). Woodmore (33) was third, followed by Lake (29), Rossford (28), Otsego (16) and Elmwood (14). Greenhill averaged 39 strokes per nine hole round, Joining Greenhill on the AllNBC first team are three Genoa golfers — Smith (38.6), Pollauf (39.9) and Simmons (40), and two Eastwood golfers — Robbie Bettinger (41.2) and Noah Hahn (41.2).

Woodmore boys getting down to business on the pitch By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Alec Garcia and Hayden Heidebrink and the rest of their Woodmore boys soccer teammates aren’t messing around this season. On Sept. 6, Garcia scored a school-record six goals in the Wildcats’ 8-4 win over Northern Buckeye Conference rival Genoa. Heidebrink, a senior midfielder, broke a school record by recording five assists in the game against Genoa. He has 12 goals in nine games, and his 17 assists lead the NBC. Woodmore improved to 9-1 (5-0 NBC) after Tuesday’s 6-2 non-conference win at Delta and a 5-1 conference win at Rossford Thursday. Coach Carlo Pocino, in his 14th season with the Wildcats, said this year’s team has all the requirements to repeat as NBC champions (they tied Lake for the title last season). Pocino said this team is deep and experienced and has good speed and an above-average soccer IQ. “We are pressing more (offensively), controlling the ball at midfield more,” said Pocino, who led the ‘Cats to NBC titles in 2011 and ‘12. “We are finding the open forwards and getting the midfielders to make runs to help the offense. Our backfield is strong. We have more unity and, hopefully, it will get better as time goes on.” Garcia, a senior forward, leads the NBC with 16 goals through nine games. “He’s very quick and he can shoot with both feet,” Pocino said. “He’s mainly a leftfooted player, but more than half of his goals have come off his right foot. He’s a strong player. He can move people off the ball. He draws players out of the backfield toward him, which leaves other players open to take shots.” Fifteen players return from last year’s team, although two juniors, keeper Grant Perry and defender Cade Burrough, are unable to play after suffering ACL injuries. Both players started last season. Sophomore Zach Hunt, who stepped in goal for Perry, leads the team with 33 saves. “Zach usually plays midfield,” Pocino

Woodmore junior midfielder Paul Koenig during the Wildcats' 5-1 win at Rossford Thursday. (Press photo by Russ Lytle/ Facebook. com/ RussLytle/ RHP) said. “He’s getting better, but it’s taking him some time to getting used to playing goalie. He has some good saves, but he still has to learn to play goalie. Hopefully he will be much better when tournament time comes

around.” Woodmore’s other top scorers are junior forward/midfielder Paul Koenig and senior center midfielder Brandon Blausey. Koenig has nine goals and four assists.

“Paul runs cross country and has the stamina,” Pocino said. “He moves well with the ball and he’s fast. Usually when I put him up front with Alec, they complement each other well and help each other out.” Blausey has seven goals and four assists through nine games. “He’s an all-around player who helps out on offense and defense,” Pocino said. “He controls the ball well and gets rid of the ball when he needs to. He does whatever the coaches ask him to do. He will sometimes start the play from the back. A lot of times you don’t get recognition because you made the pass to the scorer, but he gets the ball rolling and somebody else finishes up top.” Woodmore’s other starters include senior center fullback Sam Barbee (1 goal, 2 assists), senior midfielder Noah Whitney (1 goal), senior right fullback Thad Briggs, senior left midfielder Cole Anthony (3 goals, 2 assists), freshman midfielder C.J. Buchanan (4 goals), freshman left fullback Zane Willis and freshman fullback/sweeper Gavin Duslak. “Sam stops just about everything coming in,” Pocino said. “He’s teaching the guys he plays with on the left and right what to do, and he helps them out as far as positioning and things like that. Thad is a first-year player and is doing a really good job at right fullback. He doesn’t let anybody intimidate him.” Senior Zeke Treter, a starting sweeper last season, has been out with an abdominal injury this season and was expected to return on Tuesday against Delta. Other players seeing action include junior midfielder Jonathan Kigar, junior forwards Juan Moreno (3 goals, 1 assist) and Curtis Stang, sophomore forwards Josh Hazel (1 goal, 1 assist) and Connor Requena, and freshman midfielder Peyton Sorg (1 assist). “Our expectation is to win the state tournament every year,” Pocino said. “It’s up to the kids to do the best they can to achieve what they can. We will see where the chips fall when everything’s done. The team is doing their best to stay together. We’ll see what happens here in the next three or four weeks.”

Lake’s Kayla Bekier hitting for No. 2 ranked Owens The Owens Community College volleyball program continues to impress since the move to NJCAA Division III. Owens Volleyball is the college’s first sports program to participate at the Division III level of the NJCAA since the announcement over a year ago. Apparently the team’s hot start had an impression on the voters at the NJCAA. The Express made their debut at No. 2 in the top 10 national poll and remained in that spot in the second poll. Owens was unranked two weeks ago, but the team skyrocketed up the polls, according to the NJCAA Division III Volleyball Committee. Owens finished the regular season a year ago as the No. 1 ranked team in the NJCAA D-II level. A key contributor this year is freshman outside hitter Kayla Bekier (Lake). She had six digs in a three-set sweep over Hagerstown. In that match, the Express were a little sluggish to start the first set against the Hawks. They would end up seizing control of the first set though, winning 25-18. The final two sets were dominated by the Express. Owens would win set two by 13 points at 25-12. The final set was another big win by the Express. They would take the third set by a final of 25-11. The Express have won a dozen games since their opening season loss at the Waubonsee tournament. After shaking off some early season jitters, Owens would go on to win their next three matches in straight sets over the remainder of the first weekend. The following weekend, Owens hosted their annual invitational, which saw the Express go 7-0. There were also two conference matches sandwiched in the schedule as well, with the Express winning both of those matches in straight sets as well. The Express then had a midweek match on the road at Cuyahoga, where the Express dispatched or Tri-C in straight sets, 3-0. Owens would have another match on Friday evening against Hocking College.

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Altering Destiny Will things be different after we die? There is a natural tendency to think that there will be a radical transformation after death, that we will be unburdened by our bodies and that our souls will fly off to heaven and be united with God. But then shouldn’t we prepare our souls now to be with God? The truth is that God won’t be changing, and probably neither will we. Our souls and the virtues and appetites we cultivate become more or less permanent parts of who we are. If you have cultivated a spirit of love and compassion in your life, and live in the presence of God, you can certainly expect more of this in the hereafter, but if you have cultivated a spirit of anger and hatred, or any of the other

Northwood

vices, these have become a part of your soul. Fortunately, these things can be changed, but only with steadfast hard work and a conscious decision to alter our characters. We can change our destiny, but only if we do the hard work necessary to change our characters. If you aren’t living in the presence of God now, what makes you think you’ll be in his presence in the hereafter? Live now as you would for eternity. “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.Above all, love each other because love covers over a multitude of sins.” —1 Peter 4:7-8 NIV
