Oregon police arrest man for slashing several tires By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon Police have arrested a man who allegedly slashed tires in three separate incidences in Oregon, and possibly others in Toledo. The arrest was made days after a motorist had reported that a man had gotten out of his vehicle while she was stopped at a traffic light last Saturday and had slashed her tire. “There was an incident in Oregon late last Saturday night that has been posted on our social media sites that are now blowing up about it, so we thought it best to give it to you from the horse’s mouth, so to speak,” Oregon Police assistant chief Paul Magdich recently posted on the Oregon Ohio Police Division Facebook page. At approximately 10:55 pm on Saturday, a woman traveling east through Oregon, on Navarre Avenue, stopped at the light at the intersection of Lallendorf Road, according to Magdich. While stopped, she heard a noise. At the same time, her tire indicators began to flash that she had low air in one of her tires. “She then noticed, for the first time, a male getting back in his vehicle that was directly behind her. She described the man as older, approximately 6 feet tall and wearing a white baseball cap. No further information was available. After the slashing, and as the light changed to green, the victim continued eastbound on Navarre with the suspect following her,” stated Magdich. The 40-year-old woman, of Port Clinton, pulled her Ford Fusion into the Shell gas station at the corner of Navarre and Stadium. The suspect turned onto N. Stadium Road and continued on, he stated. When asked if there was any interaction preceding the incident, the woman replied she never saw the suspect before, and did not realize he was even there until she heard the sound, observed her low pressure

light come on, and saw the man get back into his vehicle, according to the police report. “The victim had no idea who the suspect was or why he slashed her tire. AAA was already on the scene upon officer arrival, taking care of the damaged tire,” stated Magdich. The woman said she was unable to get a description of the vehicle, due to him driving slow behind her as they pulled away. Third incident The police report stated that the woman showed police the outside wall of her right rear tire that appeared to have been slashed. The tire was flat before an AAA technician was on the scene. Magdich believes the man was responsible for two other incidents involving slashed tires in Oregon. In one incident, there was a tire slashed on a car in the lot of Ralphie’s on Navarre Avenue, he stated, which occurred on a different date. He heard of a third incident at McDonald’s on Navarre Avenue. Both of those vehicles were unoccupied at the time the tires were slashed, he stated. “Apparently, he has committed similar acts in the City of Toledo. Charges have been filed in two of the incidents and more work is needed to connect him to the third, but we are fairly certain it is the same individual,” he stated. Magdich told The Press that the suspect may have also slashed tires in the Sylvania Township area. “If he hasn’t been charged, he likely will be,” he said.

“

I believe the officers who spoke to him said he had some issues.

“

Free meals The suspect was arrested after drawing attention to himself at a Holiday Inn on Navarre Avenue. The man apparently was eating free breakfasts there, though he Continued on page 2

Tax abatement approved by school board By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An enterprise zone agreement with Pilkington NSG North America will bring a financial boost to the Eastwood School District but it’s not going to have a major impact on the district’s 5-year forecast, Brent Welker, district superintendent, said last week.

The Eastwood school board Monday approved the agreement which will result in the company paying $343,000 annually to the school district for 15 years instead of paying property taxes on a planned facility on Pemberville Road, south of Garling Road. “We’re very pleased with the agreement. It’s a good solid additional amount of money. At some point in the future it’s going to lessen any property tax burden

on residents. But to keep it in perspective, the $343,000 is the equivalent of about 1 mill of taxation. We need to be somewhat cautious in thinking this is the answer to everyone’s prayers,” Welker said. The payments won’t start until January 2021. Welker said the board and administration’s are focused on reaching the year 2025 Continued on page 2

when the debt issued to pay for the addition to the high school building and construction of the new elementary school is paid off, freeing up more than $1.2 million a year. “When we get to 2023, depending on how things go with staffing needs and other needs, we might still need a short-term levy to get us to 2025 when the new building is paid off,” he said, adding there are several questions looming over the district’s finances in the coming years.

was not a paying customer, according to Magdich. “He was going in there in the mornings and having Continental breakfasts, but wasn’t staying there. That is what originally brought him to the attention of our officers,” he said. He added that the police who arrested him noted that he had obvious “issues,” though Magdich did not go into detail. “I believe the officers who spoke to him said he had some issues. Not sure exactly what they are, or why he’s chosen to take it out on tires. I would rather he take it out on tires. But it’s certainly concerning that he’s approaching vehicles with people in them with a weapon. But our officers identified him. I can’t praise them enough for that,” he said. The motorist in the Oct. 13 incident “did the right thing by not stopping and getting out of the car,” he said. “She drove to a public place, and that’s where she got out,” he said. “What she did was a smart thing.” The suspect has been summoned to appear in Oregon Municipal Court on Friday, Oct. 19, said Magdich, for the incidents at Ralphie’s and McDonald’s. Magdich said he wasn’t sure what the suspect’s intentions were on Oct. 13. “I think it’s a little early to tell. I’m sure the court will require a little background be done on him. Maybe we’ll be able to better determine what exactly his issues are,” he said. “He hasn’t been charged yet. But we’re anticipating going forward with that fairly shortly,” he said. Magdich said the charge would likely be criminal damage, since he slashed tires. “It will be up to the prosecutor if she feels there’s sufficient grounds to go forward with menacing or aggravated menacing, in which case they would probably hold him,” he said. Magdich said he would not identify the suspect before the court date. “Once he is charged, that will become public record.”

Troy plant is declining by about $2-$3 million a year – and the falling valuations translate into lower tax collections.

The district is realizing some growth in residential housing, which is offsetting lower valuations of agricultural property, but state funding may drop off in the future if local sources increase. Also, the district is beginning to slowly add staff as enrollment starts to increase in the upper elementary grades, Welker said. “Next year, we are anticipating 1.5 to 2.5 additional teachers,” he said. In other business, the board approved the sale of the former Webster School property to the Webster Township trustees for $1,963. The price included the costs for a survey and deed transfer. Welker said two parcels were combined into one for the sale.

Frisch’s, Lake Township recognize citizens Frisch’s Big Boy Restaurants of Northwestern Ohio is teaming up with Lake Township Police Department to recognize citizens seen doing good deeds. When township police officers observe a situation in which a citizen performs an act of good citizenship, that citizen will be given a card, signed by the officer, that can be redeemed at any Northwest Ohio Frisch’s for a free Big Boy sandwich with no additional purchase required. Lake Township Police Chief E. Mark Hummer said the program will allow his officers to interact with the public in a positive way. “We know there are a lot of good people out there in our township,” Chief Hummer said. “Unfortunately, many of the times we have contact with the public, it’s in response to a complaint or we are making a traffic stop. This program will give us pause to show recognition to citizens who do something good.” Rob Armstrong, president of Bennett Enterprises, which owns and operates Frisch’s Big Boy Restaurants of Northwestern Ohio, said, “We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Lake Township Police Department to recognize outstanding area citizens.” The program will be performed for a limited time, then evaluated for its effective-

ness before decisions are made on its continuance. Chief Hummer said he is looking forward to seeing how well the program works in Lake Township. “The idea for this program is not something new. We have done similar programs in the past with positive results, and similar programs have been done in other areas,” Chief Hummer said. The chief said his department approached the Bennett organization with the idea, and the company was very receptive. “They actually took it up a level from what we had suggested. Our idea was to offer a free beverage, but they decided to make it a free Big Boy sandwich instead. How can you beat that? Frisch’s, by way of sponsoring this program, is itself showing great citizenship and community support for Lake Township.” Chief Hummer said joining forces with the local Frisch’s firm was a natural. “They are a local company with several restaurant locations in our area, including those on Fremont Pike in Perrysburg and on Woodville Road in Northwood. And we personally know Rob and several members of his team and restaurant management staff,” Chief Hummer said. The cards that will be presented to citizens were distributed to Lake Township police officers this

Brentwood Park to get new walking, biking trail By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com A walking and biking trail will be added to Northwood’s Brentwood Park this year. The city awarded a contract for $73,033 to Henry Bergman, Inc., of Genoa, to construct a new walking and biking trail around the perimeter of Brentwood Park, located on the west side of the city. Bids were opened on Aug. 22. City Administrator Bob Anderson signed the contract on Tuesday, Oct. 16. The crushed stone trail will be about one mile long and six feet wide, according to Anderson. It is expected to be completed by the end of next month.

Brentwood Park, near Andrus and Tracy roads, features baseball diamonds. It is just adjacent to the city’s fire station on Tracy Road. Anderson said the trail is just the latest project to improve recreation in the city, which has been a top priority of Mayor Ed Schimmel ever since he was elected. “This was just one of those things that he had on his agenda to make improvements to our parks,” said Anderson. Park trails Other park trails in the city include Nature Trails park off Curtice Road, which cuts through a wooded area on the east side of the city, and a path around the pond at Ranger Park. “Brentwood Park is in a more residential area,” he said. “So the neighbors

should be able to use the walking and biking trail there.” Plans to improve Central Park, next to the municipal complex on Wales Road, are in the future, said Anderson. The park has one baseball diamond, a shelter house, a basketball court, and a tennis court. “There’s a lot of green space there, too. We want to make improvements to the park, but not this year. “We’d like to improve the shelter house, and in the tennis court area, which would be more conducive to things like “Music in the Park,” where we have local bands play twice per year,” he said. “They play until 10 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Farmers market Other outside activities offered to the public include the city’s farmers market, begun earlier this year in the former Great

Eastern parking lot. It starts every Monday at 3 p.m. It has continued to thrive, though it was slow in the spring, said Anderson. “In the spring, there wasn’t a lot offered because the growing season had just started,” he said. “So I think we started a little too early. Once gardens started to mature in the summer, a variety of vegetables attracted bigger crowds. “In August and September, we had six weeks where we had very good attendance,” he said. The last event will be at the end of this month. “I don’t think there will be a lot there. Most of the corn and the tomatoes are gone.” A later start date is planned next year. “It will probably be mid July when we start in 2019. And it will continue until the end of the growing season,” he said.

Lake Township K-9 vacancy to be filled, chief says By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township Police Department is planning to fill the vacancy in its K-9 unit next year, Mark Hummer, police chief, informed the township trustees last week. With a fundraiser donation of $6,250 from GetGo Trucking and funds from a civil forfeiture, the department will likely request the unit be reinstated in the 2019 budget proposal, Hummer said. Bruno, the department’s dog for about 10 years, died last year. In 2008, Bruno alerted to the back seat of a vehicle that police was stopped in the northbound lane of I-280 for driving with an expired tag. Two bags containing about $119,500 were found and two men from Boardman, O., were arrested. Chief Hummer estimated it costs about $20,000 to acquire and train a dog for work on a police department. Grants and dona-

tions have traditionally been used to cover much of the cost of the department’s K-9 unit. The Lake Township department is receiving $331,991 for its law enforcement drug fund from a forfeiture judgment settled recently in Wood County Common Pleas Court. The case stems from a March, 26, 2017 traffic stop for turn signal violations on Bahnsen Road in the township. According to the police report, the driver admitted to officers having $400,000 in cash in the trunk after being asked if he had any weapons, drugs or large amounts of money. The K-9 unit of the Perrysburg Township Police Department was called and the dog had a positive alert on the cash, according to the report. In addition to the Lake Township share, the Perrysburg Township Police Department drug fund will receive $7,999.80; the Wood County prosecutor’s office will receive $59,998.45 for its law

enforcement trust fund, and $600.34 will be used to cover court costs. Zoning change questioned Questions from a Bailey Road resident about the change of zoning of property along Woodville Road where truckloads of leaves are being temporarily stored have been referred to the Wood County prosecutor’s office. Joe Zemenski has questioned the legality of the zoning change from R-2 residential to B-2 general commercial. The change was approved by a 2-1 vote of the trustees in May after hearing a request from Jim Mlynek, who owns the property and is using it to store leaves before composting them at his nursery on the other side of Woodville Road. Storage facilities are permitted under the B-2 classification. Zemenski has been at recent trustees’ meetings, contending the township zoning code definition of a storage facility doesn’t cover large open mounds of yard waste

and the site shouldn’t be zoned B-2. At the trustees’ Oct. 2 meeting, Ken Gilsdorf, a trustee, said a storage facility doesn’t have to be a building. Because the matter is being reviewed by the prosecutor’s office, he told Zemenski last week he wouldn’t discuss it. Hummer said he forwarded Zemenski’s questions to the prosecutor.

Body identified The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office has identified the remains of a man found after a barn fire in Graytown as that of Steven P. Leady, 48. The fire occurred Sept. 11 at 15328 W. State Rt. 163. Sheriff Stephen Levorchick said he expected the investigation to be completed soon now that the body has been identified.

Start date set for bridge replacement The Ohio Department of Transportation is planning a February 2020 start date for replacing the State Rt. 51 bridge into Elmore, Matt Damschroder, village mayor, said last week after a meeting with ODOT. “The contractor will have essentially six months. ODOT’s goal is to have the bridge passable with two lanes before school starts in 2020,” the mayor said. He met recently with Mike Stormer, ODOT planning engineer, Carol Baker, a Harris Township trustee, and Jim Wilburn, chief of the Harris-Elmore Fire Department, to discuss the project. The mayor said he was pleased with the design of the new span. “Each overlook is going to have a bench. We’re really happy with the way it looks and the cooperation we’ve had from ODOT during the design process,” the mayor said. He said it will feature a 6-foot-wide sidewalk on one side and a 10- or 12-footwide bike lane on the other. The bridge spans the Portage River.

Benefit dinner

An all-you-can-eat spaghetti lunch and silent auction honoring JB Schwed will be held Saturday, Nov. 10 from noon-3 p.m. at Athens Missionary Baptist Church, 101 Breckman Rd., Walbridge. The suggested donation will be $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $5 for kids 12 and under. JB Schwed Schwed was killed after he was hit by a train Aug. 18 in Millbury. The incident occurred on the railroad tracks near the Millbury Fireman’s Banquet Hall, where Schwed was attending a function. Proceeds raised from the event will go toward an effort being organized to install a fence along the railroad tracks near the Millbury Fireman’s Hall.

Spooktacular Walbridge-Fest, Inc., will present, “Spooktacular” Oct. 20. The events will run noon-10 p.m. Saturday where there will be foods and concessions, live music on the Haunted Stage, kids’ games and activities, a costume contest at 5 p.m., followed by trick-or-treating.

Trial set for quarry case By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A trial has been scheduled for March 18-20, 2019 in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court to hear the complaint filed by Benton Township against Rocky Ridge Development, which operates a quarry in the township. In 2014, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency approved a land application management permit for Stansley Industries, an affiliate of Rocky Ridge Development, which allowed the company to use spent lime in a soil mix to increase the elevation of the area around the quarry. The EPA issued a second permit in 2017 that modified the first. At the request of the township, Common Pleas Judge Bruce Winters approved a temporary restraining order against the company, ruling it was violating the township’s zoning regulations by depositing the spent lime and soil into cells at the property that was zoned for agricultural use. The company has an agreement with the City of Toledo to accept the lime from

the city’s water treatment plant and township residents fear the mix poses a danger to an aquifer under the quarry that provides their drinking water. Rocky Ridge filed with the Ohio Supreme Court, seeking a writ of prohibition against Judge Winters’ order. The Supreme Court ruled that the Ohio Environmental Review Appeals Commission has the jurisdiction to rule on actions taken by the EPA, including the application management permit and alleged violations of state law, but the county court can decide zoning and related issues. The township had also claimed the company was creating a nuisance by excavating land down to bedrock and, in the process, endangering ground water. Spilling of industrial waste onto roadways and causing erosion on adjacent properties were also concerns. The company argued ERAC has the exclusive right to consider those complaints but the Supreme Court ruled state law preserves the right of common pleas courts to consider nuisance complaints and the company has the right to appeal the ruling through the normal process.

Homelessness shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be treated as a crime Guest Editorial

By John Tharp, Maria Foscarinis When San Diego resident Gerald Starkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rent increased and he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford another apartment, the retired union pipefitter moved into his RV. But because he lacked an address, San Diego law made it almost impossible for him to park his RV legally. Soon the city confiscated it, leaving him out on the streets. There, he was ticketed for violating another law prohibiting sleeping in public. Faced with thousands of dollars in fines and fees he was unable to pay, Stark lived every day in fear of being arrested â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for simply trying to survive. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not alone. Many of our neighbors are just one emergency or missed paycheck away from losing their homes. Unfortunately, law enforcement is often used as a first response to address homelessness. Many communities essentially criminalize it. Instead of connecting people with services and housing, they drag people experiencing homelessness into the criminal

justice system, making it more difficult for them to get a job or housing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a harmful myth that homeless people cause an increase in crime. Several studies show homeless people are actually more likely to be victims of crime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially in places where they have to hide from police. In the absence of low-cost housing, many people often have no choice but to break the law to carry out necessary, lifesustaining activities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like sleeping, resting, or using the bathroom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in public places. But instead of responding with solutions, cities like Denver, Houston, and Puyallup, Washington are enacting more laws against those activities. Such laws are harmful, wasteful, and arguably unconstitutional. Cities spend

taxpayer dollars enforcing homeless encampment â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweepsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;move alongâ&#x20AC;? policies for homeless people. One homeless man, Russell Bartholow of Sacramento, received an astonishing $100,000 in fines for sleeping and camping in public. Fining people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have enough money for rent isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t productive or humane. Homelessness is a community issue, and it demands a community to solve it. At the federal level, a universal voucher program, where no person pays more than 30 percent of their income on rent, would go a long way. Currently, because of funding cuts spanning almost four decades, only one-infour of those poor enough to be eligible for federal housing help actually receives it. Those who do are often turned away due to discrimination. We must strengthen federal anti-discrimination laws, so housing canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be denied to someone due to their source of income, poor credit, lack of rental history, or their status as a victim of domestic violence. And all laws that make it a crime to be homeless should be repealed. Philadelphia

offers an example. Earlier this year, law enforcement officials donated a vacant office in the subway station to create the HUB of Hope, where homeless people can do their laundry and stay out of bad weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not going to arrest people for being homeless,â&#x20AC;? said Major Jim Kenney. In Syracuse, Mayor Stephanie Miner refused to follow a state order to arrest homeless people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter shelters. Instead, the city reached out to people experiencing homelessness to connect them to housing, helping Syracuse become one of the first cities to end veteran homelessness. With proven solutions, communities can help people like Gerald Stark, Russell Bartholow, and millions of others off the streets and onto a better path, leaving everyone safer and healthier. Maria Foscarinis directs the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty. John Tharp is a former sheriff of Lucas County, O.

Manufacturing not a dirty job; someone will be paid well to do it

Guest Editorial

By Steve Gratz Manufacturing jobs in Ohio are going unfilled, and experts say the problem is projected to get worse. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, seven out of 10 Americans consider manufacturing a cornerstone of the economy, but only three in 10 want their children to go into manufacturing. Additionally, the National Association of Manufacturers predicts that 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will be created in the next 10 years, but more than 2 million of those will go unfilled. October is Manufacturing Month and Oct. 5 was Manufacturing Day. Manufacturing Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers and combat the illusion that manufacturing careers are dirty, low-paid

and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead to advancement. According to the MFG Day website, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manufacturing Day addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and what it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. By working together during and after MFG DAY, manufacturers will begin to address the skilled labor shortage they face, connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing, and ensure the ongoing prosperity

of the whole industry.â&#x20AC;? MFG DAY is a growing movement. It empowers individual manufacturers and creates a space for all manufacturers to come together. There are more than 200 events in Ohio in 2018. Although a majority of the events already have taken place, there are still several events scheduled throughout October. Manufacturing covers a wide gamut of occupations from assembler to engineer. Job search expert Alison Doyle shared in a recent post that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because manufacturing is such a broad field, there are many manufacturing job titles which encompass a variety of job descriptions. Manufacturing involves creating new products, either from raw materials or from pre-made components. Manufacturing plants and factories need more than just people who work on a production line; an efficient operation re-

Festival support greatly appreciated To the editor: The 40th Annual Oak Harbor Apple Festival was held October 13-14, and what a great turnout. We had a beautiful weekend filled with food, family, fun and entertainment. When we say that the festival and all of the great activities would not be possible without the help of generous sponsors and volunteers, we truly mean this. From the village departments to the property owners to the volunteers and vendors, it really takes everyone working together to make our festival the success that it is. The Oak Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the following for their contribution to this year’s festival: Candy Apple sponsors: Carroll Township, Croghan Colonial Bank, Crown Battery, Magruder Hospital, McDonald’s and the Village of Oak Harbor. Red Delicious sponsors Civilian Marksmanship Program, Commodore Perry Federal Credit Union, Community Markets, Dr. Molly Judge, Health Management Solutions, Lake Disposal Services, Lake Erie Shores & Islands, Lateral Gig, Materion, Oak Harbor BP, Oak Harbor Rotary Club, ProMedica Bay Park Hospital and US Bank.

Special thanks to Benton-CarrollSalem Schools, Community Markets, Croghan Colonial Bank, Oak Harbor Hardware, Spangler Motors and US Bank for the use of their property. In addition to the above sponsors and supporters we would also like to thank everyone who volunteered their time to make this event a success. Valerie Winterfield Oak Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce

Improvement or not? To the editor: I’m not so sure the Toussaint Creek project should be called an improvement project. Miles of the creek were left with ugly, clearcut banks prime for erosion. This project will surely expedite farm run-off into Lake Erie instead of letting it filter out into its natural flood plain. There may have been some log jams that needed to be cleared but the extent of that project was over kill. Charging the land owners who happen to have the creek run through their properties an assessment for the project is unfair. Bill Wauford Martin

Don’t be afraid to admit when you are wrong Some people are afraid of making mistakes. When mistakes are made, they try to save face by refusing to admit they were wrong. This is a deeply flawed strategy, which actually causes harm. Not admitting when you are wrong traps you into repeating the same mistakes again and again. Making mistakes is part of the learning process. Once you realize that you made a mistake, take responsibility, and then commit to the changes necessary to avoid making the same mistake again. Have you ever worked for a boss who would never admit when they were wrong? If you have, you know how frustrating it is. Regardless of the mistakes they make, they never take responsibility. As a result, you probably lost respect for them. Do you ever engage in the same behavior of not admitting when you are wrong? Do you make excuses or blame other people or circumstances? No one likes to make mistakes. Admitting when you’re wrong is admitting to making a mistake. It’s difficult to admit that you are flawed. But not admitting when you are wrong has negative side effects. People lose respect for you. You come across as out of touch with reality, disconnected, conceited, and better than others. Your opinions on other matters also become tainted. If you criticize anyone else, you are considered to be hypocritical. You put yourself at a disadvantage when you can’t, won’t, or don’t take responsibility for your mistakes. Taking responsibility for your actions is the first step to correcting mistakes. If you blame other people or circumstances you are exhibiting classic victim mentality. In this mode, you will be making the same mistakes over and over. You shortchange yourself when you are unable to identify areas for improvement. Until you identify problems, you won’t find solutions. Thinking all is well distorts your reality. This skewed outlook leads you to make bad decisions based on a faulty assessment, which then generates

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden more negative results. Admitting when you’re wrong is a sign of strong character and confidence. It clearly demonstrates that you are willing and ready to always learn from experience and improve. This is a great attitude since you learn more when things go wrong than when all goes right. Before you can admit when you’re wrong you have to first know that you have made a mistake. This process, called selfmonitoring, is where you are constantly assessing your behavior and the resulting effects. Whenever your actions lead to unintentional or undesired results, there is room for improvement. Admitting you have made a mistake frees you to take corrective action. Mistakes are a learning tool. However, repeatedly making the same mistake is a foolish waste of time and energy. Those who do not recognize their errors are more likely to repeat them. Ironically, successful people often make more mistakes than others. The difference is that successful people are quick to recognize that something has gone wrong, take full responsibility for their actions, and then engage in corrective behavior. These successful people do not attempt to justify their mistakes by making excuses for why the mistakes occurred. They don’t blame other people or circumstances. They understand that mistakes are to be expected on the road to success. Always think before you act. Make sure you have as much relevant information as possible before making a decision. Monitor the results of your behavior to ensure you are on track. There is nothing to be

Caregivers Riverview currently undergoing extensive renovation By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com The Riverview Healthcare Campus earned a Medicare 5-star rating, now it’s undergoing a 5-star, full-scale renovation. The facility, which has been a community staple for decades, is in the midst of a facelift that is giving it some new life and panache. Riverview encompasses 100,000 square feet and has earned high marks from U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s best nursing homes. “The renovation itself is a total facelift for the building. Our front is turning into a town square, with a beauty salon and a gift shop. It gives our residents a feel that when you’re in the gift shop you’re downtown shopping and getting your hair done,” said Kendra German, the facility’s administrator. “We’re centralizing the doctors’ offices and getting our systems updated – we were nickel-and-diming our systems (in the past). We want to give it a better atmosphere and create a flow for our staff members,” she said. “The assisted living is greatly needed, too. We do not have any current assisted-living units. According to a survey by the Miami University’s Scripps Gerontology Center, Ottawa County has the second-highest percentage of people over 60 in the state of Ohio,” German said. The addition of assisted-living units is a key part of this major upgrade to the facility. “We have always heard about the need for assisted living in Oak Harbor. There is nothing beyond Genoa, there is a small assisted-living unit in Catawba Island, and some in Marblehead,” she said. “In 2015, we formed the building committee, and we

started talking about what needs we could fill in Riverview. We did a market study, which said we could support 60 units, due to our location and demographics and our competitors, and we decided we would start with 20 units. There will be one studio. “It’s been in the works for three years; the rest of the building was aging,” German said. “Some of our heating and cooling systems were getting older. We decided we were going to take care of everything and do something about the design flaws.” There are six phases to the renovation – (1) administrative/staff areas; (2) converting the front lobby into a town square; (3) long-term care stations; (4) converting the Cottage Cove Rehab Suites to the Lighthouse Memory Care; (5) Cottage Cove Rehab Suites; (6) Hartford on the River Assisted Living. German estimates that the renovation is about halfway done and will take about one year to finish. The facility houses between 95-100 residents and has 140 employees. It offers long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, a rehab clinic, memory care, veterans services, adult-day services and respite stays. “We go between 95 and 100; it fluctuates based on our rehab units,” she said. “Rehab fluctuates just as it does in a hospital. We usually have anywhere of 10-20 rehab patients at any given time.” The funding is being provided by a bond (loan) that was taken out by the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners. “Riverview is making yearly bond payments and those are being made from our 0.5 mill tax levy, which is going up for a renewal this year,” German said. “We do not take any funds from the Ottawa County general fund. This levy is strictly used for our building.”

Safe medication disposal located at ProMedica hospital ProMedica Bay Park Hospital announced the placement of a MedSafe bin in the hospital’s emergency center lobby entrance. MedSafe offers a safe and environmentally friendly way for community members to dispose of unused or expired medications. The placement of the MedSafe is the result of a ProMedica community service initiative aimed at improving medication safety within the communities it serves. Specifically, the danger of unused pain medications or other hazardous meds such as sedatives falling into the hands of a minor or other family member too often leads to accidental overdoses or death. The new MedSafe will help community members dispose of these products without the worry of environmental contamination as well.

To use the MedSafe, simply open the top door and place the medications inside and then close the door. The medications are then deposited into a bin that is secure and cannot be accessed. When the bin is full, pharmacists will close and seal the receptacle and send it off for destruction. For security, the bin is bolted to the ground, and there is a camera that monitors the bin as well. Prescription and over-the-counter medications that may be placed in the bin

Vaccinations

Health department urges early flu shots this year Health officials are encouraging people to get the flu shot earlier this year so that it can become effective before influenza viruses are widespread. Most people can get a flu shot by scheduling an appointment with their health care provider or simply walking into their pharmacy. It takes about two weeks to develop antibodies that protect against flu, so make plans to get vaccinated before flu season begins. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that anyone 6 months of age or older get a flu vaccine by the end of October. Every flu season is different, but millions of people get the flu each year, while hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized and thousands more die from flu-related causes. The flu vaccine does not cause influenza, which is a contagious respiratory illness that infects the nose, throat and lungs. Frequent handwashing is one of the best ways to avoid acquiring or transmitting many illnesses, including influenza. Also make sure to disinfect surfaces at home and at work, cough and sneeze into your sleeve, and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Wood County Health Department provides flu immunization for children 18 or under whose health care providers do not offer vaccines. For more information, call 419-354-8402 ext. 3258. For more information, please visit WoodCountyHealth.org

Cholesterol screening The Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc. will offer cholesterol screening clinics in November. Clinics are open to Wood County residents and 25 years of age or older.

The move allowed WSOS to consolidate staff from its Central Office and Brady Building facilities on S. Front St., and the Barney Quilter CCC Camp in Green Springs. The day will also mark WSOS Community Action Commission’s transition to its new name, Great Lakes Community Action Partnership. The name reflects the organization’s long-time expansion of programming beyond Wood, Sandusky, Ottawa and Seneca counties, and its focus on working with local partners to drive initiatives that benefit communities and people in need. The name change will include a new

logo as well as a new website, www.glcap. org, expected to go live on Nov. 2.

Opinion

Why I’m voting “no” on Ohio Issue 1 on Nov. 6 By Dr. Paul Silcox On Nov. 6, Ohio voters will head to the polls to cast their ballots on several issues. Issue 1 is a proposed Ohio Constitutional amendment that if passed, in the words of Maureen O’Connor, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio, “will (not could) have catastrophic consequences for our state. If Issue 1 passes, Ohio may have some of the most lenient drug crime laws in the nation. We could easily become a magnet for substance abuse activity because there will be, in effect, very little consequence to engaging in such behavior.” Justice O’Connor continued, “Who wouldn’t want to set up their drug distribution business in Ohio knowing that

possessing 19 grams of fentanyl or lethal amounts of other drugs would result in only a first-class misdemeanor without mandatory probation?” It’s interesting to note that Ohio Issue 1, is being promoted as “The Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment.” I mean, who wouldn’t want those things for our state? And its promotion is being heavily funded by billionaires George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg. Neither is from Ohio, so they do not have to live with the consequence of the passage of Issue 1. If Issue 1 passes, a person could be in possession of 19 grams of fentanyl and would only receive probation. What many people don’t realize is that 19 grams of fen-

tanyl has the lethal capacity to kill 9,500 people. Fentanyl is being brought into the country by drug dealers who have no regard for their customers lives or that of their families who are left to deal with the death and destruction of their product. That to me sounds like a “ferocious wolf” This paragraph is from another Judicial review of the effect of the passage of Issue 1. This amendment to the Ohio Constitution would reclassify all drug related fourthand fifth-degree felonies as misdemeanors. This reclassification would also apply to those convicted prior to its effective date allowing them to be released from prison or to have their convictions reclassified as misdemeanors.

In “Dreamland – The True Tale of America’s Opioid Epidemic,” author Sam Quinones states, “Let’s just say that firsthand exposure to opiate addiction can change a person’s mind about a lot of things.” My first, firsthand exposure took my son Joe, two years ago on Nov. 12, 2016. It changed my life and it changed my mind, and I am dedicated to help wake up our communities and parents to the travesty of drug addiction and the aftermath of its devastation. By voting “no” on Issue 1, Ohioans are saying no to making it easier for drug dealers to sell their junk in our cities. Dr. Paul Silcox is a Fremont chiropractor.

Crime Prevention Corner

Crime prevention tips for caregivers, to keep in mind Most people, when they hear the term “caregiver,” may think of someone who is paid to take care of another person, but in many cases, a caregiver may be a family member or a friend. For the purposes of this article, the term will apply to anyone who is caring for another person in a residential setting. As we approach the holidays, and the time when days are getting shorter and shorter, caregivers need to be cognizant of the changes and how they themselves can be affected. As darkness falls earlier in the day, certain safety concerns need to be taken into consideration as a caregiver plans his or her day. It is true there are positive aspects to daylight when it comes to crime prevention. That is why crime prevention professionals stress the importance of good lighting after dark. Thieves and other criminals like the darkness. If a caregiver is working after nightfall, that person should make sure outside lights

are on and working properly. Window coverings, such as solid drapes, should be kept closed after dark so others cannot see inside the residence. Outside doors should be equipped with a peephole to allow the caregiver to see who is at the door should someone knock or ring the doorbell. No one should open the door at any time—daylight or after dark—unless they know who is there and feel safe letting them in. The door should also have a device to allow the people inside the residence to open it only slightly if they know who is there. While a chain-type device is better

vices are becoming less and less expensive. A good camera installed at an outside door can allow an occupant to see the person at the door without opening it up even a little bit. It’s also wise for caregivers to keep all doors locked at all times. Caregivers should familiarize themselves with noises that are not unusual in their settings. That way, they will know when they hear something that is not normal. It’s sometimes difficult to advise someone when they should call 9-1-1 if he or she hears a strange noise. The best advice is to follow your gut instincts. This article is a public service from the Crime Prevention Division of the Lake Township Police Department. 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.

than nothing, they are not effective in keeping someone out who may force their way inside. Devices that are made of solid metal that have a ball on the end that fits inside a grooved bar, like those found on hotel doors, are much better at keeping intruders out. With the current heroin epidemic, daytime burglaries and home invasions are sharply on the rise. These thieves have become more brazen in their attempts to steal something—anything—they can turn into quick cash. This is where the home invasions enter the picture. A home invasion, generally, is a situation in which a perpetrator enters an occupied residence. Home invasions can be very dangerous as the intruder may do harm, or worse, to the occupants of the residence, fearing an occupant can give a description of the perpetrator that may lead to his or her arrest.

More Ohioans required to report suspected elder abuse Starting on Sept. 29, Ohio law greatly expanded the number of individuals required to report suspicions of elder abuse, neglect or exploitation. Mandatory reporters now include many more individuals in the financial services, legal and medical professions – for example, pharmacists, dialysis technicians, firefighters, first responders, building inspectors, CPAs, real estate agents, bank employees, financial planners and notary publics. “This expansion of mandatory reporters will help us in our goal of protecting our vulnerable family members, friends and neighbors from harm,” said Cynthia Dungey, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), which supervises Ohio’s Adult Protective Services (APS) program. “Older adults make up the fastest-growing segment of Ohio’s population so all of us need to be vigilant. If you suspect that elder abuse, neglect or exploi-

tation might be occurring, please report it.” “We work with state and local partners to ensure that our elders are able to live independently, and with dignity and respect, in their homes and communities for as long as possible,” added Beverley Laubert, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. “Each of us must feel empowered to speak up when we suspect that a neighbor, friend or loved one might be the subject of abuse, neglect or exploitation. Likewise, we deserve to know that people who serve our elders daily will take action when they spot warning signs.” The law changes also require ODJFS to develop and make available educational materials for mandatory reporters. As a result, the agency developed guidebooks for financial services professionals, legal and law enforcement professionals, medical professionals and the public. Anyone in Ohio can report possible elder abuse 24/7 by calling 1-855-OHIO-APS

When your loved one resists help By Rebecca Krukemyer, Au.D Portage Valley Hearing I am frequently asked what family members can do to encourage their loved ones to seek help for their hearing loss. Research shows that “family recommendation” is a top factor in influencing the decision to purchase hearing aids. With support, patience and information you can motivate your loved one to seek treatment. Here are some suggestions to encourage those who may be reluctant to seek help. • Discuss with your loved one about how the hearing loss affects you and your family. Speak compassionately, not when angry or frustrated, and you’ll get a better response. • Obtain information on hearing solutions from reliable sources. Many people with untreated hearing loss report a lack of knowledge about available solutions. • Talk to others who have experienced positive outcomes treating their hearing loss. Share this information with your loved one. • Practice good communication techniques. Remember communication is a twoway street, and you need to do your part. • Accompany your loved one to appointments with the audiologist. Besides providing valuable information to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of the hearing loss, you also provide invaluable emotional support to your loved one. • Don’t threaten or use guilt to persuade your loved one to seek treatment. Confrontation can lead to feelings of defensiveness and resentment, and can be a roadblock to seeking treatment. Rebecca Krukemyer is an audiologist at Portage Valley Hearing, LLC in Pemberville. Email her at Rebecca@Portagevalleyhearing.com or call 419-287-2201.

or by contacting the nearest county department of job and family services (JFS). To find the nearest county JFS, visit jfs.ohio. gov/county. Physical proof or other evidence is not required. Reports can be made anonymously. If mandatory reporters fail to report possible abuse, they could face criminal charges and fines of up to $500. Ohio law allows no exceptions for professional relationships – for example, doctor/patient relationships or attorney/client relationships. Elder abuse can include physical, sexual or psychological abuse, as well as neglect, abandonment or financial exploitation. In addition to physical injuries, the following are just a few of the possible indicators: being isolated, missing appointments, appearing frightened or avoiding specific people, suddenly withdrawing from usual activities or interactions, changes in mood or temperament, changes

in personal hygiene, or being resistant to touching. For more information, see the publication “A Guide to Protecting Ohio’s Elders” (JFS 08025), which is available at www.odjfs. state.oh.us/forms/pubs/. Industry-specific guides for financial professionals, legal/law enforcement professionals, and medical professionals will be available soon.

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services manages programs that strengthen Ohio families. These include job training and employment services, unemployment insurance, cash and food assistance, child care, child and adult protective services, adoption, and child support services.

Inspirational Message of the Week: October Melancholy As the days grow shorter and the leaves turn color and fall languidly from the trees, there is a peculiar melancholy which we are susceptible to at this time of year. October days are tinged with sadness and a sense of loss at the end of another summer, and yet this is combined with a feeling that the beauty of a crisp autumn day under a clear blue sky somehow redeems the loss of summer. The last monarch butterflies wearily flapping their exhausted wings, the flocks of geese heading south, and the vibrant colors of the leaves all presage a time of dormancy, when we will hunker down for the long, cold winter. Everyone

probably has a favorite season of the year, but being able to enjoy each one with its different qualities is a blessing from God. And, perhaps this October melancholy is God’s way of telling us to start conserving our energy. If we’ve been diligent all summer, and the harvest is plentiful, then just maybe, with the Lord’s blessing, we’ll make it through the coming winter, and live to see another glorious Spring. Go to the ant, o sluggard: consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer or ruler, she prepares her food in summer, and gathers her sustenance in harvest — R.S.V. Proverbs 6:6-8

Medicare open enrollment continuing through Dec. 7 With the 2019 Medicare open enrollment period under way, Jillian Froment, Director of the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) is encouraging those on Medicare to review their drug and health insurance coverage options and select a plan that fits their needs and budget. The Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP), a division of ODI, will host Medicare Check-Up Day events throughout the state to help consumers compare and select the best plan that meets their unique needs. Medicare Open Enrollment for 2019 runs through Dec. 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medicare Open Enrollment is a once-ayear opportunity for Ohioans who are enrolled in Medicare to compare plans and find one that fits their needs at a price thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for them,â&#x20AC;? said Froment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medicare health and prescription drug cost-sharing can vary between plans for the same drug or service, so it is important to look at your options each year and make changes if necessary.â&#x20AC;? Before making any changes to an existing health plan, it is important for Ohioans who are Medicare-eligible to know what their current coverage provides and compare that to available choices offered, including the benefits, cost of premium, and out-of-pocket costs. Consumers should also confirm their physicians participate in the plan they select. During Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Open Enrollment, Ohioans can: â&#x20AC;˘ Stay on or return to Original Medicare and shop for a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan. â&#x20AC;˘ Select a Medicare Advantage Plan,

which provides comprehensive health benefits, typically including drug coverage. â&#x20AC;˘ Determine if their existing coverage will continue to meet their health insurance needs. Attendees can also learn more about recent Medicare plan changes and financial assistance programs that help pay prescription drug costs and Part B premiums. Protect against fraud and identity theft

Froment advises Ohioans to be aware of predatory sales practices during open enrollment. If a consumer suspects wrongdoing, they should call the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fraud and Enforcement hotline at 1-800-686-1527 or the SMP at 1-800-488-6070. Those unable to attend a Medicare CheckUp Day event can contact OSHIIP at 1-800686-1578, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to

5 p.m., or call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), 24 hours-a-day, seven-daysa-week. Information, including specific plan details, is available at www.medicare.gov. To view a complete listing of Medicare Check-Up Day events, visit OSHIIPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medicare Check-Up and Annual Enrollment page at www.insurance.ohio.gov/Consumer/OSHIIP/ SitePages/CheckUpDays.aspx.

Social Security benefit increase Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for more than 67 million Americans will increase 2.8 percent in 2019, the Social Security Administration announced today. The 2.8 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will begin with benefits payable to more than 62 million Social Security beneficiaries in January 2019. Increased payments to more than 8 million SSI beneficiaries will begin Dec. 31. (Note: some people receive both Social Security and SSI benefits). The Social Security Act ties the annual COLA to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Department of Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some other adjustments that take effect in January of each year are based on the increase in average wages. Based on that increase, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax (taxable maximum) will increase to $132,900 from $128,400. Social Security and SSI beneficiaries are normally notified by mail in early December about their new benefit amount. This year, most people who receive Social Security payments will be able to view their COLA notice online through their â&#x20AC;&#x153;my Social Securityâ&#x20AC;? account at www.socialsecurity.gov/. Information about Medicare changes for 2019, when announced, will be available at www.medicare.gov. For Social Security beneficiaries receiving Medicare, Social Security will not be able to compute their new benefit amount until after the Medicare premium amounts for 2019 are announced. Final 2019 benefit amounts will be communicated to beneficiaries in December through the mailed COLA notice and my Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Message Center.

Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grounds & Gifts begins local coffee roasting

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has always been committed to the highest quality beans, so this is exciting news...

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

sourced from small farms around the globe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has always been committed to the highest quality beans, so this is exciting news for two reasons. Roasting the beans here in Northwest Ohio is a boost for the local economy and, for consumers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an even fresher cup of coffee,â&#x20AC;? said Joan Campbell, vice president of retail operations at Sunshine Communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adding local roasting is an exciting step forward as we grow Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business, and the timing is especially relevant. In October, we take time to reflect on the talents, gifts, and skills that each person can bring to the local community and economy,â&#x20AC;? said Robin Erb, V.P. Communications at Sunshine Communities.

Answer Key (Puzzle on page 14) Stephen Beam, owner of Brick House Roastery in Perrysburg, is partnering with Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grounds & Gifts to provide fresh-roasted coffee to Maumee-area customers. Beam demonstrated the process to the men and women who package the beans for Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the popular gift and coffee shop in Uptown Maumee. Here, Beam shows the Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew green coffee beans from Ethiopia just moments before roasting. Most would agree itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the simple things that make life wonderful, such as a great cup of coffee served with the satisfaction of helping a meaningful cause. Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grounds & Gifts, located in Maumee, this month began roasting its own coffee, strengthening its mission and ensuring the freshest taste to local customers. Opened in 2005, Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is part of the Maumee-based nonprofit Sunshine Communities, which has supported people with developmental disabilities since 1950. The coffee shop and its adjoining gift shop is an extension of Sunshineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supported employment program. More than a dozen men and women with developmental disabilities work in Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee

and gift shops, 311 Conant St. in Uptown Maumee. Additionally, about a dozen men and women work at Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee packaging site at Sunshineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maumee campus, 7223 Maumee Western Rd. In addition to being served at the Maumee location, Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee is sold in grocery stores around the region. Last year, Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s began supplying coffee at the new ProMedica headquarters in downtown Toledo. Now, the operation stretches to a third facility, the Brick House Roastery, 26963 Eckel Rd., in Perrysburg. Professional roaster Steve Behm, a long-time consultant in the local coffee scene, has been working with Georgetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to choose beans are

This year, lots on the line when Rangers, Cardinals meet By J. Patrick Eaken and Mark Griffin sports@presspublications.com Cardinal Stritch has not won a Toledo Area Athletic Conference football championship since 2006 but could be playing for one this year. Assuming Stritch (4-4 overall, 4-1 TAAC) was able to defeat Hilltop (4-4, 3-2) on Friday and league leader Northwood (71, 5-0 TAAC) was able to take care of business hosting Ottawa Hills (1-7, 1-4), the Cardinals and Rangers were on a collision course the final week of the regular season. That annual rivalry game for the Big Apple Deli Trophy will be played this Friday night on Ted Federici Field at Clay Memorial Stadium. A Stritch win would mean a co-championship for both teams. Northwood has not won a TAAC title since 2013, so it would be a refreshing championship for the Rangers, too. But veteran coach Ken Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rangers have been in the race every year since. Before taking over at Stritch last year, Bryan Dudash was head coach at former TAAC member Danbury, so he knows what kind of teams Northwood brings to the table year after year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be tough,â&#x20AC;? said Stritch coach Bryan Dudash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played Ken every year since 2010 and I think this is definitely his most balanced team. I mean, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had the big, wild horses up front and the big backs, but this is the first year that I think that he has the skill to really offset some of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a dynamic sophomore quarterback, he has four running backs who can take it to the house every time they touch the football and they are very, very explosive. Their defense is as stout as ever and they look great right now.â&#x20AC;? Quarterback Jay Moten has completed 36 of 61 passes for 1,106 yards and 12 touchdowns, plus he has run for 625 yards on 65 carries and 11 TDs. Williams has carried the ball 54 times for 516 yards and eight TDs. Junior halfback Austin Cole has carried the ball 44 times for 525 yards and six TDs. Junior Anthony Williams has 54 carries for 516 yards and eight TDs, and junior Dalton Dempsey has rushed for 437 yards and eight scores on 63 carries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of running backs who can carry the ball, block, and catch it,â&#x20AC;? James said. Demond Marks, who also plays cornerback, is the Rangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading receiver with 13 catches for 428 yards and eight touchdowns. He has returned two of his three interceptions for touchdowns and has also scored a safety after a blocked punt. Senior end Jon Lucas has eight catches for 345 yards and three touchdowns, and Cole has seven catches for 234 yards and four TDs. Cole has also completed all four of his passes, for 208 yards and four touchdowns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We planned on throwing it more than what we have in the past, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been pretty darn productive in terms of scoring,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hitting a fair amount of big plays in the passing game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough playing us because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t key on one guy.â&#x20AC;? In its last four games, Northwood has allowed just 17 yards rushing on 122 attempts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The offensive line has been really good for us this year, same with the defensive line,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It always starts up front.â&#x20AC;?

GAME OF THE WEEK BIG APPLE DELI TROPHY Northwood Rangers @ Cardinal Stritch Cardinals TED FEDERICI FIELD CLAY MEMORIAL STADIUM Friday, October 26 7 p.m.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Northwood weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dudash says it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be hard to get his players fired up for the game even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for a co-championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get my kids fired up, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Northwood week.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We look at them as a rival. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the Apple Deli Trophy on the line, and hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing them for a share of the TAAC title,â&#x20AC;? Dudash said. Stritchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only league loss was 20-0 to Edon in a game where his team saw a lot of injuries, including to their leading receiver, 5-foot-8, 151-pound senior wide receiver Paul Latz. It did not help that the game was played in a steady rainstorm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really hurt our passing game,â&#x20AC;?

Week

Dudash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, we were pulling guys from the offensive line and in the middle of the game putting them in at running back, and we lost Latz in the first half of that game. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK now and should be fine for this week, but he was out for a good portion of that game so that hurt. But, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy with where we are at.â&#x20AC;? The turnaround that Stritch has experienced has not surprised James. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not shocked by them,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bryan Dudash is an awfully good coach, so I knew heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get it going. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how long it would take him to get it built up, but I knew he would do a good job for them. It turned out it just took him a year or so.â&#x20AC;?

Latz leads the team with 61 receptions for 749 yards and 11 touchdowns, and 5-10, 174-pound junior wide receiver Ben Dunsmore follows with 37 catches for 351 yards and five TDs. In addition, Foust, Latz, and 5-9, 171 junior running back Romilio Garcia have combined for 975 yards rushing and eight touchdowns, adding another dimension. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some speed,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously the Latz kid is a Swiss army knife where he does a little bit of everything for them. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a real good football player and a tough kid, too. Last year, he played on a sprained ankle for several games and we have tremendous respect for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a freshman quarterback who is playing really well, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some other kids like Dunsmore and Romilio Garcia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given them a threat at running back which I think has allowed them to put some points on the board,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not gigantic or anything like that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a bunch of 6-5, 280 guys, but they run well, and they are well coached.

In first River Division race, Golden Bears take title By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg girls cross country had runners place third, fifth, seventh, 15th and 25th out of 52 runners, which led them to a Sandusky Bay Conference River Division championship in their first year in the league. The Golden Bears, who had an average time of 22:38.58, were led by sophomore Hannah Dearth, who finished third in 21:38.37, nearly two minutes behind Lakota sophomore Reilly Cozette, who was the SBC River champion, finishing in 19:48.96. The race was held at Hedges Boyer Park in Tiffin. Including athletes who ran for schools that did not field teams, Gibsonburg senior Emma Stout (21:46.26) was fifth, sophomore Kallan Stricker (22:30.67) was eighth, sophomore Madison Jors (23:20.76) was 17th and senior Jessica Davies (23:59.08) was 27th. “I was proud of how the team rose to the occasion,” Gibsonburg coach Beth Kohler said. “They knew that SMCC (Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic) was the favorite coming in, and they also knew that Lakota is a strong team. “Each of our five scorers ran either a season best time or a career best. Kallan Stricker took 1:20 off her best, while Maddy Jors and Kylie Hockenberry each took over a minute off theirs. I was thrilled that all three seniors (Jessi Davies, Emma Stout, and Katrina Stricker) ran season bests or PRs on Saturday.” In the SBC River boys race, Gibsonburg finished fourth, scoring 113 points to place behind St. Mary (36), Lakota (67) and New Riegel (74). Out of 82 runners, Gibsonburg senior Austin Jors was the Bears’ top runner, finishing in 12th with a time of 18:07.88. Senior Andrew Widmer was 22nd in 18:36.08. In the SBC Bay Division girls race, Oak Harbor finished fourth as a team, scoring 111 points to place behind champion Edison (38), Willard (56) and Huron (63). Oak Harbor junior Hope Sievert fin-

Eastwood girls cage favorite Eastwood has been picked to win the Northern Buckeye Conference girls basketball championship in a preseason poll by the coaches. Eastwood had seven first place votes and 63 points, followed by Lake, which had one first place vote and 53 points. Woodmore (47) is third, followed by Elmwood (37), Otsego (36), Genoa and Rossford at 20 points each and Fostoria (12). Eastwood shared the title with Elmwood last year. Last year, an Eastwood brother-sister duo laid claim to the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Girls Basketball Team’s top two awards, but it should not surprise anyone. The brother-sister duo will return this year to menace their NBC opposition again. Eastwood coach Nick Schmeltz and his younger sister Jamie Schmeltz were Coach of the Year and Player of the Year, and the voting by 10 area coaches and 10 media members was not even close for either. Schmeltz, a 5-10 sophomore guard, averaged 21.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.7 steals to lead Eastwood to a 19-6 season, a sectional title and the program’s first league title in 11 years. Seven teammates averaged at least one assist per game, a reflection on her. One of them, 5-6 junior guard Hannah Limes, was also first team All-Press after averaging 7.9 points, four rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.8 steals. “Jamie's play helped elevate those around her as she was able to successfully help senior Kelley Turk, senior Morgan Rost, junior Hannah Owens, and sophomore Hannah Limes have career years,” Nick said. “She was not only a phenomenal scorer but she also led our team in assists, steals, and deflections. Along those lines, Jamie was our point guard — so not only was she able to score, but she would also get us into our offense and get the ball where it needed to go. She had a positive assist/turnover ratio.” Jamie set a single-game school record scoring 43 points, and she finished with 531 points on the season, which is second most all-time behind the program’s all-time leading scorer Teri Poggemeyer.

Running for a purpose The Woodmore girls cross country team hopes to get a couple runners back to the regional or state meet. However, the

The Press Box girls have an even bigger purpose this fall — they use meets to create awareness for social and health causes. They are asking for anyone to come and support their efforts at the district, regional and even state meet, if they can get that far. At the district meet in Galion, Ohio, they were running for Autism Awareness. At the regional meet in Tiffin on Oct. 27, it is antibullying, and at the state meet in Hebron, it is heart health. The girls wear matching support or awareness tattoos, coordinate their hair ribbons and accessories with the cause color, and most importantly, compose an informational sheet on their cause that they send out to all athletes and parents involved in the school’s program. For information, assistant coach Alexis Klassen can be reached at 810-623-2560 or lex3291@yahoo.com.

Owens softball tryouts On Friday, Oct. 26, the Owens Softball team will be holding open tryouts for the 2018-19 season. The tryouts are scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon. Interested parties should meet in the Student Health and Activities Center workout area, and the tryouts will commence from there. Owens is bringing its softball program back after the sport was suspended after the 2015-16 season due to budget cuts. Since the athletics programs have all moved to Division III, it was decided to bring the program back to begin play in the spring of 2019. To participate, you must be a full time student at Owens Community College. The Express are coached by Jeff Hankins, who is in his first year at the college. He was previously the head coach at Jackson College in Jackson, Michigan, prior to taking the position at Owens. For any more information, you can call Coach Hankins at 567-661-7937 or email him at jeffrey_hankins@owens.edu.

Out of 90 runners, Oak Harbor junior Clay Winterfield (18:16.22) was 17th, junior Cameron Crandall (18:52.34) was 29th, and senior Xavier Gschwind (19:06.88) was 33rd. Sophomore Wyatt Miller (19:17.63) was 38th and sophomore Brady Walleman (19:30.35) was 39th.

State-ranked Wildcat harriers led by two sophomores By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Woodmore cross country sophomore runners Ava Beam and Olivia Thatcher finished one-two at the Northern Buckeye Conference meet as the Wildcats ran away with a league championship. Beam finished in 20:10.53 and Thatcher followed at 20:57.38 to defeat third place finisher Sophie Richrds from Genoa, who crossed the finish line in 21:21.47. Woodmore scored 26 points to finish ahead of Genoa (35) in the team standings. Elmwood (106) was third, followed by Eastwood (110), Lake (118), Otsego (133) and Fostoria (149). Woodmore girls cross country is ranked 19th in the Division III state coaches poll, and coach Mike Moreno says his girls now have to live up to that heading into the district meet. “We’ve been finding ourselves in the top 20 in rankings this year for the first time since 2007, so that is always nice to be recognized by the coaches’ association,” Moreno said. “For the girls, being ranked, it doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t materialize into a state qualification at regionals. They’ve had their eyes on that prize and they worked hard all summer long. We put them on a 40-workout training program, which they all did, and it’s really showing now throughout the season.” Beam and Olivia Thatcher were regional qualifiers last year as freshman, but neither placed high enough to qualify for state. They hope to change that this year, either as individuals or with their teammates. Moreno only has six girls on his roster, but they’ve been going up against bigger rosters all season long, and beating them, and that’s what got them noticed by coaches around Ohio. The other four girls on his roster are sophomore Greta Bauder, senior Maddie Thatcher, freshman Sidney Wank and sophomore Julia Cable. Bauder and Maddie Thatcher were sixth and seventh

Woodmore runners Olivia Thatcher (6953) and Ava Beam (6950) get off to a good start at Columbus Grove. (Photo by Julie Beam) at the NBC meet, finishing in 21:54.34 and 21:55.94. Out of 61 runners, Wank was 10th in 22:23.15. “They have been competing with the bigger teams this year and they were doing well,” Moreno said. “At Seneca East, they were sixth out of 20 basically Division II schools. We competed against Division II schools also in Columbus and they did well there. “The week before we were at Columbus Grove, and we were runners-up against Division III schools, and we were seven points from beating a ranked team. At the Tiffin Carnival, we finished 10th out of 54 teams, which is a little disappointing for the girls that they finished that low, but I think the teams that did beat us were coaches’ poll ranked teams.” The 11-team Columbus event was held at National Trail Raceway, where the state meet is held, Woodmore was with 29 other teams at Seneca East and 12 others at Columbus Grove.

At Lakota’s Myron Cline Invitational, out of 14 teams, Woodmore finished second, scoring 93 points to place behind champion Liberty Center (37), Ohio’s fifth-ranked D-III team. Beam was fifth, finishing in 20:08.29 and Olivia Thatcher sixth in 20:21.72. Not only did the girls win the NBC meet, but they ran for “acceptance.” The Woodmore girls cross country team hopes to get a couple runners back to the regional or state meet.

bers there, including seven returnees, so he’s pleased to have plenty to work with. “The boys team is strong. They are a good solid unit,” Moreno said. “They placed fifth at the Tiffin Carnival in Division III B varsity race, and our lead runner was runner-up. “I have a big number — 13 boys this year, which is nice. They are working together very well to run as a pack well. We’re just working on getting the pack running a little bit closer to the front to see if that would make a difference.” Out of 85 runners, Wildcat Pierce Overmyer placed ninth at the NBC meet, finishing in 18:07.29 and Paul Koenig finished in 18th with a time of 18:31.01. Koenig also plays for the Wildcats’ NBC champion soccer team, which finished the regular season 14-2 overall and undefeated in the league. Koenig had 27 points on 10 goals and seven assists for the ‘Cats. One of Moreno’s freshman girls is also a dual-sport athlete, playing soccer.

Leyerle finishes 8th at state meet Gibsonburg sophomore golfer Sydney Leyerle finished tied for eighth at the Division II state golf meet, which was held at the Ohio State University Gray Course. Leyerle shot 76-79—155 to place eight strokes behind the state co-champs, Lakota’s Kyleigh Dull and Shaker Heights Laurel’s Jami Morris, who both shot 7374—147. There were 71 girls participating. Last year Leyerle, the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Golfer of the Year, tied for 13th at the D-II state meet at the OSU Gray Course, shooting a 15-over-par 155. She shot 77 on Friday and 78 on Saturday. She was the first Gibsonburg golfer ever, boys or girls, to qualify for state. As a freshman, Leyerle competed with the boys in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, and was named TAAC Golfer of the Year. She was also medalist last year at the D-II girls district meet at Sycamore Springs, shooting a 72. This year at the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division girls meet, Leyerle scored 40-37—77, but it was not good enough for medalist honors as Edison golfer Jordan Pruitt scored 37-39—76. Still, both earned first team all-league honors, and joining them was Oak Harbor senior Jaclyn Wojciechowski,, who was not far behind at 38-43—81. At the district meet, Leyerle shot 3639—75 at Sycamore Springs Golf Course and finished in fourth behind Shelby sophomore Amanda Ruminski (71), Dull (73) and Ottawa Hills senior Caroline Dayton (74). Leyerele won the sectional tournament at Fostoria Country Club, shooting 35-39— 74 to outscore Dull, who scored a 38-40— 78, and Wojciechowski, who finished third at 40-39—79. Leyerle is coached by Brent Liskai. Oak Harbor won the sectional championship, scoring 374 behind Wojciechowski, Hannah Genzman (95), Delaney Hayes (103), Madison Glazer (97), but the Rockets failed to advance their team or an individual to the state meet, scoring 410 at Sycamore Springs.

Coffman fastest, but Comets team champs By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com No one could catch Eastwood cross country runner Luke Coffman at the Northern Buckeye Conference meet, but Genoa had enough horses to come away with the team title. Coffman finished the 5K race in 16:56.31, over 18 seconds ahead of second place Ashton Serrato of Otsego, who came across the line in 17:14.38. However, Genoa finished fourth, fifth, seventh, tenth, and 19th, averaging 18:01.94 with a total time of 1:30:09.67 to score 45 points and defeat the second place Eagles, who scored 59 with an average time of 18:07.76. Woodmore finished fifth with 113 points. “Winning the NBC was important to the team. Genoa has a rich history of running from the 1980s to the early 90s, but it had been 28 years since Genoa won a league title, and the boys wanted to bring it home,” Genoa coach Brett Strickland said. “We knew it was going to be between us and Eastwood, and they had beat us at the last two NBC jamborees, so the boys knew that no one was going to give it to them on Saturday.” It was Comets Bobby Bench and Tyson Lesher who finished fourth and fifth with

times of 17:38.37 and 17:40.56 that provided the spark. “Eastwood ran a tough race, but we had a couple standout performances that helped us win it — all the guys ran well, including senior Bobby Bench, who took fourth overall, but having sophomore Tyson Lesher drop from an 18:03 PR (personal record) to a 17:40 and taking fifth overall was really an inspiring performance.” Lake runner Keaton Heckman was seventh (17:54.71), Genoa’s Derek Rightnowar eighth (18:03.71), Woodmore’s Pierce Overmyer was ninth (18:07.29) and Eastwood’s next runner was Nathan Payne, who finished tenth in 18:08.15. Lake did not have enough runners to field a team, so many runners were pushed back in the individual race, but were scored at a higher placement. For the Comets, Dennis Deibert was 12th (18:12.93), Conner Lagrange 21st (18:34.1), Ross Schlatter 26th (18:53.66), and London Stuller 37th (19:35.49). This is out of 85 runners competing. To have seven runners finish in the upper half impressed even their own coach. “There isn’t a group with more dedica-

tion and commitment to the sport of running, so it was a special moment seeing them win,” Strickland said. “The whole team has been grinding since June, so Saturday was five months in the making. “They’re also immensely talented — of the top seven guys, four are sophomores and one is a freshman, and they’re not even close to hitting their ceiling. So we’re not going anywhere for a while.” With the way his team has progressed, Strickland is looking forward to the district, regional, and hopefully the state meet. “At districts, it’s probably going to be Genoa and Eastwood battling it out again,” Strickland said. “The top two teams at Findlay make it out to Tiffin for the regional meet, and I expect both of our teams to make it. It’s just a question of who’s going to leave with a championship trophy and who’s going to leave runner-up. “Eastwood is a solid, well-coached team, and they have Coffman up front, so we’re not taking it for granted that just because we beat them at league we’re going to do it again at districts. We’re going to stay hungry, and show up ready to compete.”

Eagles, Flyers grid matchup about more than pride By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Eastwood and Lake have been here before — staring each other down for the pride of eastern Wood County. It will be the 52nd time the two teams meet, dating back to both schools’ days in the Northern Lakes League. Eastwood leads the series 31-20, including 16 of the last 17. It wasn’t always that way, though, with Lake winning 10 in a row from 1968-84, which included eight years where they did not play. This year, there could be a Northern Buckeye Conference co-championship on the line, depending on whether or not the Eagles were able to knock off unbeaten and No. 1 ranked Genoa last Friday night. Eastwood went into that game 5-2 overall and 4-1 in the league. Lake (4-3, 3-2) could have been in the title talk, too, but a 24-7 loss to Otsego despite dominating on paper, and before that a close 34-27 loss to the Comets may have sealed the Flyers’ fate. Either way, both could be playing for a chance to qualify for the Division V playoffs when they meet at Lake Community Stadium this Friday night. For the Flyers, the season has had its up and downs. Playing in a rainstorm, Lake coach Mark Emans would like to have his team’s game with Otsego back. “That Otsego game got away from us early,” Emans said. “They had only run six plays on offense and we were down 17-0. We had 15 first downs and they only had six, and the score looks like we got whipped. It was just one of those games — you can blame it on the weather, you can blame it on whatever. You’ve got to overcome that, and we didn’t. We got beat fair and square.” The Flyers had four turnovers in that game, but they also had five turnovers in the loss to Genoa. Apart from that, Lake’s offense has been effective, averaging 332.8 total yards per game. “I think we’ve found our identity, but in some of the crucial games this year we made too many mistakes,” Emans said. “We’ve moved the ball offensively. We’ve got a good quarterback, good running back and our line is good, but we have made some mistakes offensively in crucial games. You just can’t do that and win those big games.” Quarterback Dawson Delvanthal has completed 76 of 126 passes (60.3 percent) for 922 yards and 12 touchdowns, which Emans says has really “balanced” his offense. Eastwood coach Craig Rutherford knows the kind of threat Delventhal presents. “We just have to work and make sure our defenders are in the right places coverage-wise. You can’t have slip-ups back there when you play Lake because he will make you pay,” Rutherford said. “He is a three-year starter, so he’s run that offense for three years now. He knows it inside and out.” Harry Jackson has caught 35 passes for 498 yards and nine touchdowns and Scott Mackiewicz leads the rushing attack, carrying the ball 155 times for 903 yards and 11 TDs. Mackiewicz has 16 catches for 204 yards and two TDs, Johnny Guyton has 14 catches for 167 yards and two TDs, Bronson Medley has five catches for 36 yards and Luke Walsh has seven catches for 35 yards. Walsh also has 373 yards rushing on 71 carries with two TDs. “They have so many talented skill position players on offense and their line is big and experienced. They throw the ball really well and they run the ball so you can’t really key on one area when you try to stop them,” Rutherford said. The Lake defense is led by Walsh, who has 73 tackles, including 10 for a loss and he caused one fumble. Tyler Saffran has 68 tackles, three interceptions and also caused a fumble. “Their defense is big and experienced, too, and they always seem like they are in the right position. It’s real hard to get the Lake players out of position,” Rutherford said. “We’ll have to sustain drives and pick up some big third downs probably because we’re not going to get as many big plays as we might want. We’ve got to be OK with that.” For Rutherford, following a 14-1 season that ended with a Division V state runner-up trophy has been challenging. His team’s first two losses this year were by a combined three points, but he believes they’ve done well despite having to replace a ton of players lost to graduation.

“I think that we’ve made a lot of progress. We came in without much experience and I’ve gotten involved every day at practice and every game,” Rutherford said. “It’s been a lot of fun to see guys who have never played varsity football before get their shot, and the way they are taking advantage of it. Maybe other people wouldn’t have thought that they could’ve played for us, but they are having a real good year.” Behind a relatively new offensive line, running back Jaden Rayford has carried the ball 112 times for 1,187 yards and 13 TDs, despite having missed one game — the 3534 loss to Rossford, because he was on concussion protocol. Ceyleon Damron has 891 yards on 145 carries and 15 TDs. Emans, who like Rutherford is an Eastwood graduate, acknowledges what Rutherford has overcome in his second year at the helm. “I think that Craig hasn’t deviated from his system, even with injuries or with new kids. He’s got all new kids on his offensive line,” Emans said. “His system has been very sound and that’s a testament to a young coach to not deviate from what you believe in. “It would be easy if things weren’t going well or if you didn’t have certain personnel, but he’s done a great job of just staying the course. Their system is, by far, very successful for them.”

All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.
