War library exhibit

In the words of those writing home

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com War, as seen through the letters of veterans and their families, is the subject of an exhibit at the Main Library, 325 Michigan St., Toledo.

“War Comes Home: The Legacy” features the personal correspondence from most major conflicts in U.S. history – from the Civil War through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq – displayed on 13 interpretive panels.

The exhibit will be at the library through Nov. 20.

Special programs and workshops are scheduled while the exhibit is at the library:

• A workshop for researching military ancestors will be held Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the McMaster Center in the library for those with veterans in their family tree.

The workshop will be conducted in four sessions and there will be a break for lunch.

• A workshop to preserve personal stories will be held Nov. 5 from noon to 4 p.m. in the Huntington room. Library staff will help those attending digitize up to 10 pages or photos.

• “Salute our Veterans: The Paws Forces” will be held Nov. 5 from 1-2:30 p.m. in the Wintergarden. The Paws Forces is a new program of the Maumee-based organization, “The Arms Forces.” The program helps veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Continued on page 2

Gap in response Currently, the fire department consists of 88 volunteer personnel and 10 full-time firefighter/paramedics who are assigned to Lucas County Life Squad 8, which is housed and operated by Oregon. The volunteer force is also referred to as “part-time paid on call” because they are paid a specific rate for responding to calls The department’s response perfor-

Volunteers for vets

Oregon officials are proposing a day shift in the volunteer fire department in an attempt to improve response times.

The Ohio Fire Chief’s Association (OFCA) conducted a study this summer that looked at fire department service delivery and demands of service, as well as an examination of the condition of the three fire station facilities. Based on the study, the city will make recommendations on personnel and fire station upgrades that are expected to be implemented next year.

Fire Station 41 is located at 5002 Seaman Road; Station 42 is located at 1102 S. Wheeling Street; and Station 43, at 4421 Bayshore Drive. Although the study showed the stations were outdated and in need of upgrades, City Administrator Mike Beazley said the top priority is to make personnel changes to improve response times.

The fire station improvements, which may include the construction of a new fire station, will come later.

“We think we need to invest in stations,” said Beazley. “We don’t see that as important as some of the personnel things we want to tackle first.”

Beazley said the city will address immediate needs of the fire stations “to responsibly meet the community’s needs.”

“We won’t wait a year on some of those things,” he said. “There will be money in this year’s budget to help keep the stations at an appropriate minimum service level.”

A fire station location analysis was also conducted to strategically site future fire stations to maximize service delivery.

“On the station side, we don’t think that it’s the greatest obstacle to the best possible service,” said Beazley. “It’s something we have to deal with long term. We still have some important decisions to make as a community. But we think we have the luxury of time because we don’t think the stations really degrade the service for now, though it’s something we can’t ignore. The really big questions are going to be `Do we need two stations or three stations? Are they in the right location? Could Station 43 better serve the community if it was put in South Shore Park?’ Those are things we’re going to have to grapple with. There’s options available to us.”

Fire Chief Paul Mullen told The Press last week that “you’ll see us working towards one new station” soon.

“It all depends on the budget and our availability of funding. That’s on my wish list,” he said.

mance was analyzed as part of the study.

Response data was reviewed and analyzed for the department’s fire and EMS responses from 2013 and 2014. The analysis revealed that a performance gap exists between the department’s actual response performance and baseline performance criteria established by national organizations such as The Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI). Performance gaps also existed between the department’s performance and internal response goals.

At a recent Safety Committee meeting, Mullen said the average response time – the time from when the fire dispatcher tones out a call for service until fire and rescue personnel arrive at the scene and come into contact with a patient - is 14 minutes and 30 seconds, much longer than the national standard of eight minutes.

Mullen said the period from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday is the most difficult time to get enough volunteers to respond to calls. Lifestyle changes, he said, have limited the availability of volunteers, not only in Oregon but in volunteer fire departments across the country.

“Few people do shift work anymore.

They work 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. They have more family commitments, are in two income households. They do not have the time to commit to the fire department,” he said.

Monitored migration reported

Veronica Bauer, of Northwood, an Air Force veteran and Outreach Specialist with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and Gene Shurtz are shown at the exhibit.

In the words of those writing home Continued from front page Disorder and brain injuries receive services they need.

A card-making station will be available to create greeting cards and thank you cards for veterans.

The cards will be presented at the Veterans Day Breakfast at the University of Toledo.

Gene Shurtz, a Vietnam era Army veteran, said he was impressed by the scope of the exhibit.

“It gives people the flavor of letters sent from a combat zone going back to the Civil War. It’s very difficult to write something back home. You want to be upbeat but people want to know what’s going in the war and you can’t really tell them for security purposes. During World War I and II they had censors that redacted stuff from letters,” he said.

Shurtz, of Oregon, is also the chaplain of Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 35.

Many of the letters by combatants share a common theme, he noticed.

“They try to mix the events happening to them with the hopes and dreams they have for making it out of there and back to their loved ones, and hoping their loved ones aren’t going through any bad times,”

Shurtz said. “It all comes down to those themes.”

A letter from a soldier in the Civil War captures the impact of a major battle. He writes of musket balls that he could pick up in the dirt and reasons it was a matter of fate of who was hit and who wasn’t.

Jim Funk, Manager, Institutional and Community Initiatives of the Toledo Lucas County Public Library, said Library Director Clyde Scoles saw the exhibit last year while at a meeting of the National Library Association in San Francisco and was impressed.

“He felt it would contribute to an interesting and important conversation about the contributions and sacrifices made by veterans and their families,” Funk said.

The exhibition is based on a collection at the Center for American War Letters and is curated by Andrew Carroll, CAWL director, and John Benitz, a professor at Chapman University.

The project is a partnership between California Humanities, the California State Library and Exhibit Envoy. It is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the BayTree Fund, The Whitman Fund, and the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has published two reports from its Avian Radar Project that document results of monitoring migrating birds and bats along the Lake Erie and Lake Ontario shorelines.

Researchers found similar trends on both lakes. Migration took place mainly at night for both birds and bats and occurred in pulses during both consecutive springs, with nights of high activity interspersed with nights of low activity.

On high activity nights, numbers of migrating birds and bats increased dramatically after sunset and peaked around midnight. Often, migrants traveled out to cross over the open water of the lake. As dawn approached, activity trailed off and migrants shifted their movement to follow along the lakeshore instead of crossing over the open water.

The shift in movement direction is likely to avoid the long lake crossing during daylight, when migrants are vulnerable to predators. Additionally, birds and bats may be concentrated along the shoreline due to the need to return to land if flying out over the water at dawn, the presence of stopover habitat along the shoreline, and the use of the lakeshore as a navigational aid.

The studies also examined the heights

at which migrants were flying at night, and through the use of new metrics, determined that a large portion were flying at heights within the reach of wind turbines. With migrating birds and bats concentrated along the shoreline, and flying at heights that may put them at risk from wind turbines, results, along with recommendations in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines to avoid bird and bat concentration areas, will help to inform decision makers about what areas may cause the highest impacts to migrant bird or bat populations from wind energy development.

For six years, the Avian Radar Project, funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, has studied bird and bat migration around the Great Lakes using two mobile radar units. The most recent reports come from monitoring in spring of 2012 on Lake Erie and spring of 2013 along Lake Ontario.

The goal of the project is to document the magnitude and patterns of migration so that areas that are important to birds and bats during this important journey can be protected along the Great Lakes. View the reports at www.fws.gov/radar.

Benefit organ recital set for Nov. 13 Local musician Daniel R. Boyle will perform an organ recital to benefit fostered youth Sunday, Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. in the sanctuary at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church at the corner of Witty Road and SR 51, Elmore.

A freewill offering will be taken to support Dream Again Ohio (DAO), a local, nonprofit, faith-based organization with the mission to help youths aging out of foster care the opportunity to be happy and prosperous members of society. DAO assists in the transition from foster care to independence through housing and life skill training within a safe and supportive community.

DAO is spearheaded by local mental health professional Evan Matheny. A graduate of Ohio State University with a degree in political science, Matheny is pursuing a masters in clinical counseling degree at Winebrenner Theological Seminary.

A former middle and high school educator, Boyle has been the organist and choir director at Grace Church in Elmore since 1997 and also plays keyboard at the Whitehouse Campus of Cedar Creek Church. He enjoys arranging and composing music and recorded a CD of his original piano compositions in the fall of 2009.

The recital will feature the works of Luther, Pachelbel, Buxtehude, Reger, DePue, Biebl, Dvorak, Franck, and J.S. Bach. A reception will follow the recital in the church’s fellowship hall, where DAO representatives will be available to share their mission.

In addition to the recital offering, donations can be made to DAO at dreamagainohio.com.

For boaters, emergency locator beacons can save

“

By Rachel Johnson and J. Patrick Eaken news@presspublications.com

“We had other communication devices, but what got us the help that saved our lives was the EPIRB.

“

A perfect day on the water can quickly change. The boat may hit an unseen object, a wave may capsize the boat, a sudden storm may make it too difficult to navigate, or equipment may fail.

In situations like these, owning and registering an emergency locator beacon can mean the difference between life and death.

Representatives from the National Safe Boating Council say they hope stories of boaters and their loved ones facing tragic outcomes will resonate with others about how an emergency locator beacon can save lives.

These boaters were truly “Saved by the Beacon.” “Boaters may feel confident they are safe because they have a VHF radio or cell phone,” said survivor John Silverwood, who was sailing with his family of six when they hit a reef late at night.

“We had other communication devices, but what got us the help that saved our lives was the EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon).”

Survivor David Hope and his crew were caught in a severe storm that made their 37-foot vessel inoperable. “A U.S. Coast Guard Falcon jet homed in on the EPIRB signal and came right to us,” Hope said. “It takes just a few minutes to purchase and register a 406 MHz beacon that might become a lifetime of survival.”

Many boaters operate in locations beyond cell phone towers and the line-ofsight capabilities of their VHF radio, so an emergency beacon can make the difference between life and death.

“It’s relatively new technology. People do use them and it’s very wise to have them on board,” said Officer Sarah Genzman of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Parks and Watercraft.

“As officers, we haven’t seen many in use, but as technology progresses and they become a little more accessible, I think more and more people will use them. In combination with having a life jacket and having an emergency beacon on board, it can dramatically increase rescue time.

“Basically, if a boat capsizes and someone is in a boating emergency out on the lake, this device will send a satellite signal directly to emergency services and allow us to pretty much find where these people are in a relatively small radius.

“We actually have one on our patrol boat, and what happens is if our boat would capsize, you can manually remove it from the cradle, or as the boat would begin to submerge, the device would release from the cradle, sending a satellite signal with our GPS location and distress signal advising that we are in trouble, which would go to the Coast Guard and emergency services.

The one that is on our boat has a bright light that would shine, so if it was at night, that bright beacon light as well as that GPS signal would allow help to come.”

An emergency locator beacon alerts search and rescue assets by transmitting a coded message on the 406 MHz distress frequency via satellite to the nearest rescue coordination center. Boaters mount an EPIRB which is registered to the vessel, waterproof and may be manually or automatically activated. Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) are registered to the person, may be operated on land or water, and must be manually activated with the antennae out of the water with a clear view of the sky to properly function.

All emergency locator beacons must be registered with the National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration. In 2015, 138 people were rescued at sea thanks to the International Cospas-Sarsat Program, which uses satellites to relay distress signals from emergency beacons to a network of ground stations. This year, already 175 lives have been saved.

Saving lives in western basin Officer Genzman says she has seen incidents in the western basin of Lake Erie that might have turned out differently if a beacon was on board.

“In the western basin, I have not experienced anyone in an accident situation that has used a beacon. The incidents that we’ve responded to, I could see where a beacon would have dramatically helped our rescue effort. It’s hard to say,” Genzman said.

Rachel Johnson is executive director of the National Safe Boating Council, the lead organization for the ‘Saved by the Beacon’ campaign, produced under a grant from the Sports Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. Press staff writer J. Patrick Eaken was invited to add his comments based on his interview with Officer Genzman.

Day shift recommended Continued from front page the past six years. In 2009, the department responded to 2,856 calls. By 2014, the number increased to 3,063 calls.

Mullen has recommended that the proposed 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. time period be broken up into two shifts each staffed by two fire department personnel: the first shift from 6 a.m. to noon; the second, from noon to 6 p.m.

“They’ll come to work at Station 41 and be assigned fire-related duties for the day, such as company inspections, equipment and station maintenance,” he said.

When a call comes in, “they’ll be the first ones enroute to an emergency incident so that our dispatch-to-patient contact time is reduced.”

Beazley said Mullen’s recommendation will be discussed during the 2017 budget meetings this year.

“We think that by Jan. 1, we could have an approach in place by adding staff scheduled by shift. We want to emphasize we’re going to start with a plan we want to learn from. If we don’t think it’s working, we’ll try another approach. We want to listen and be aware as we go. This is a step our community has looked to for a while now,” said Beazley.

Councilman Tim Zale, who is chairman of the Safety Committee, agrees.

“This is a big step for us to take. This is certainly beneficial to us all. Implementing this in January, at least to see how it works, won’t harm us. If anything, our response time will get better,” said Zale.

Members of the fire department are aware of the proposed changes, and they have acknowledged there are problems with the response time, according to Mullen.

However, there are some concerns among the rank and file that the city may go outside the fire department to hire personnel to staff the two shifts instead of hiring from within.

Beazley said it has been a concern in the past as well.

“There were concerns years ago from fire department staff that we were going to bring guys from outside the department to fill shifts,” he said. But discussions with the staff following the study indicate they

are concerned about the response times.

“We talked about it around the table – that we might need to fill shifts. The firefighters said `We want to make sure we’re meeting the service needs of the community.’ We heard it from full-time and part-time guys. The fear though, is that the part-timers think we want to bring in outsiders. So we’re all worried about it. But it’s not going to solve itself. We have to manage through it,” said Beazley.

“If we can’t staff with our own people, we’ll have to staff it with outside people,” said Mullen. “Our first goal here is to take care of the citizens of Oregon.”

Inclusion Works Reflecting the important role disability plays in workforce diversity, this year’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) theme is “# Inclusion Works.”

Observed each October, NDEAM celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities and educates about the value of diverse workforce inclusive of their skills and talents.

A study conducted by the Institute for Corporate Productivity, more than three-quarters of employers surveyed ranked their employees with intellectual and developmental disabilities as good or very good on work quality, motivation, engagement, integration with co-workers, dependability and attendance.

Oregon fire department provides input in survey The Ohio Fire Chief’s Association developed a survey, in conjunction with its review of the Oregon Fire and Rescue Department facilities and services, to gain input from members of the department.

The survey sought information concerning issues affecting current and future service delivery, communication, training, facilities and opportunities for improvement. The surveys were completed online.

Thirty-seven members, including officers, completed the survey.

Among the findings: • Some felt many emergency responses were handled by a core group of personnel and that other personnel had poor attendance records and were “in it for the money.”

• While the quality of service continues to be very good, patient interaction and the “positive customer service experience” is not as consistent as it should be.

• A majority of respondents felt that the department was meeting the service expectations of the community, but noted that frequently, citizens had to wait too long for a response and that the non-active members were a cause for concern.

• Many felt that communication within the organization had improved in the past few years. Several noted that the fire chief’s and assistant chief’s attendance at part-time firefighter association meetings were “very positive.” However, some felt that while information was passed down to the station chiefs, often times that information was not passed along.

• Mixed responses when asked whether personnel was given the opportunity to provide input on special projects and general operational issues. Thirty-one percent felt they were given the opportunity to provide input while 42 percent felt they were not. Some stated that the opportunities were limited or “selective” based on the member making the suggestion. There was a concern that input is frequently ignored or dismissed without further discussion or explanation.

• A majority of respondents felt strongly that outside and advanced training was provided and supported by the department. Several felt that the in-service training drills could be expanded and that some members missed out on training opportunities.

• Most respondents felt that the three fire station facilities had served the department well, but were over 50 years old and were outdated.

• There was a desire to augment the firefighting force with either part-time instation staffing or additional full-time staffing…to improve response times, thereby improving service to the community.

Additional staffing would also relieve some of the pressures on the volunteer personnel.

• There was a pervasive attitude among the respondents that many members have poor attendance records and are identified as “low-performers.” As a result, there is a core group of 8-10 personnel who consistently turnout for emergency responses.

However, it is felt that with a continued increase in call volume, that response situation “is not sustainable.”

“

communication within the organization had improved

“

• The need to improve the attitude of members. Continued improvements with internal communication and improving leadership within the officer corps could positively impact the attitude and camaraderie of the members. Significant improvement with internal communication would have a positive effect throughout the organization and affect several areas in the department, including training, policy development, special projects, and general operational effectiveness.

There was also a survey developed for Oregon City Council that sought information concerning issues affecting current

and future service delivery, facilities and challenges facing the community. The survey was completed online. Five council members completed the survey.

Council members felt that the fire department was well respected in the community, and delivered outstanding services with a positive customer service focus.

However, several noted there was an appearance at times that several members of the department “were in it for the money” versus community service.

Fire Chief Paul Mullen told The Press last week that “there’s always room for improvement.”

Fire department officials have been regularly attending open meetings with firefighters to gain input and improve communication.

“We have department meetings once per month,” he said. “It rotates from station to station. The assistant chief and I do our best to attend. One of us may have obligations in which we can’t make a meeting, but the other will attend. It’s well worked out. Attendance at the meetings is growing each month.”

County's new land-use plan nearly complete

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A new planning document that will serve as a guideline for the future development of unincorporated land in Wood County is “in the home stretch,” the Lake Township trustees were informed Tuesday.

Dave Steiner, director of the Wood County Planning Commission, said the formulation of a land-use plan for the county – a process that began early this year – is nearing its completion.

During the trustees’ meeting, Steiner said he was there to get their input on future growth in this area.

Once complete, the plan’s primary role will be to provide guidance when local officials are asked to approve requests to rezone land for what is considered incompat-

Did you know…

ible as well as compatible uses to neighboring property, he said.

The planning commission will hold one more open house to hear input from the public before a final document is completed, Steiner told the trustees.

“We want to make sure everybody’s on board with it,” he said.

The county’s current plan was adopted in 2007. While discussing the need for a new plan earlier this year, Steiner said he’s noticed an upswing in residential development after the recession.

In other business, the trustees approved a resolution asking the Wood County commissioners to vacate a portion of Arn Street in the Moline area of the township.

A 155-foot stretch of Arn that is only 14 feet wide – from the southern end of the street to the intersection with Neil Avenue – would be vacated if the commissioners

approve the request.

Several residents attended the trustees’ Oct. 5 meeting and said they were concerned about motorists disregarding a stop sign on Arn Street.

Phyllis Ashworth told the trustees she’s witnessed many motorists passing through the Arn intersection with Neil without stopping and feared there could be a serious injury.

“It’s gotten to the point it can no longer be overlooked,” she said, noting that she saw a youth injured while riding an all-terrain vehicle through the intersection and it flipped over.

Another resident complained of motorists driving on his property because Arn is too narrow to accommodate two-way traffic.

“My front yard is not the street,” he said.

International Park Storage Pipeline gets Ohio EPA loan

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The International Park Storage Pipeline project will receive a low interest loan from The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, it was announced last week.

Toledo is installing the underground storage pipeline and basin to help minimize the effects of Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO’s), which will improve water quality in the Maumee River.

The project, part of the Toledo Waterways Initiative, will be paid for in part through a $26.2 million low-interest loan from Ohio EPA’s Water Pollution Control Loan Fund.

When water from rain and snow melt infiltrates Toledo’s sewer systems, it mixes with raw sanitary sewage and overwhelms the city’s ability to clean the water before it is discharged to the Maumee River. This project will allow the city to store the excess flow in a 6.9 million gallon CSO storage facility, which can then be sent in a more measured way through the wastewater treatment plant.

Julie Cousino, program administrator for the Toledo Waterways Initiative, said a notice to proceed with the project was issued on Aug. 1. “Construction started in August. It will be completed in October 2018,” she said. The construction cost of the project is $24.8 million, she added.

During the design stage, a business advisory committee was formed to work with community organizations such as Once Voice for East Toledo and a group representing the Docks restaurants complex to keep them informed about possible impacts of the project, she said.

“We will continue to meet with them throughout construction to help coordinate any impacts to the park. But one of the main things we want known is that the Main Street entrance to the Docks restaurants and International Park will remain open throughout construction. We want to make sure we have minimal impact on the park events and the Docks restaurants,” said Cousino.

Kitty Todd Through Ohio EPA’s Water Resource

Restoration Sponsor Program, Toledo also will be able to direct part of the interest from the loan repayment to fund the Kitty Todd Preserve Wetlands Addition project that will be implemented by The Nature Conservancy, according to the Ohio EPA. The project will purchase and restore 40 acres of high-quality wetland and upland buffer to expand the protected Oak Openings habitat. Created in 1989, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) provides below-market interest rate loans for communities to improve their wastewater treatment systems. The reduced interest rate on the $26,213,645.88 loan will save Toledo $3,868,000.

In addition to improvements to publicly owned treatment works, WPCLF loans have funded agricultural best management practices, home sewage system improvements, landfill closures and water quality-based storm water projects. The WPCLF provides technical assistance to public wastewater systems in a variety of areas from the planning, design and construction of improvements to enhancing the technical, managerial and financial capacity of these systems. WPCLF loans also make possible the restoration and protection of some of Ohio’s highest quality water bodies through the fund’s Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program.

Heather Lauer, a spokesperson for the Ohio EPA, told The Press last week that there have been eight projects that focused on improving water quality in Lucas County that have received WPCLF funds from the agency since January 1, 2015 that total $56.5 million.

Among the funding recipients was the City of Oregon, she said.

“Last November, Oregon received $6.9 million for their wastewater treatment plant secondary improvement Phase 2, In June 2015, they received $1.8 million for sanitary sewer rehabilitation Phase 3, and in July of this year, they received $1.46 million for the sanitary sewer rehabilitation project Phase 4 Part A,” said Lauer.

Ohio EPA’s revolving loan funds are partially supported by federal grants and designed to last indefinitely through repayment of loans and investments in bonds. The loan program is managed by

Genoa voters will get to decide tax credit referendum

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Voters in the Village of Genoa next month will decide the fate of an income tax credit for residents who work outside the village.

A referendum on the Nov. 8 ballot will determine if an ordinance approved by village council that repeals a 0.75 percent credit for residents who pay taxes to other municipalities will go into effect Jan. 1, 2017.

Several residents who say the tax credit is needed have circulated a petition for placing the referendum on the ballot.

Mayor Ken Harsanje, however, says repeal of the tax credit is needed to offset the loss of Local Government Funds from the state and other strains on the village budget.

Cost cutting measures that have already been implemented include elimination of the public works director and zoning inspector positions and assigning those responsibilities to Kevin Gladden, the village administrator.

The assistant parks director position has also been eliminated and the administration is stepping up efforts to collect delinquent income tax filings and payments and utility bills.

Ending the tax credit, the mayor said, will help to avoid further austerity measures that could result in cuts to police department and public works personnel.

Capital improvement projects for streets and sidewalks may also be delayed if the credit is still allowed.

The village income tax generated approximately $787,000 in 2015, according to administration figures. The mayor said he has no reliable projections of how much revenue would be generated by eliminating the credit.

In 2005, the village received about $70,000 in Local Government Funds from the state. Last year, it only received $32,000, the mayor said. “The cuts by the state have hurt every school district and every municipality and township,� the mayor said. “We don’t want to make any further cuts but we may have to.�

With revenues from the repeal of the tax credit, the village may be able to complete improvement projects to the town hall building as well as other projects, including completing the village’s section of the Northcoast Inland Trail. “We have a lot of extensive repairs to do on the town hall building,� the mayor said. “We have to fix the elevator. The bell

tower itself and roof need a lot of work. It could be $100,000 to $200,000.�

families we don’t think this is the wisest choice for the future of our community.�

Credit helps families Jennifer Widmer, a petitioner, said young working families especially need the tax credit. “We have a lot of people who work outside the village. There are not a lot of job opportunities inside the village. If you work in Toledo, with a 2.25 percent income tax, you pay 3 percent in local taxes without the credit,� she said, adding the lack of a credit is an incentive for more mobile residents to move into neighboring townships that have no income taxes.

She said the repeal of the credit is “an easy way out� for the village officials rather than taking a long-term view of actual municipal budget needs. “They have made some personnel consolidations,� she said. “But one of the things we were told at the council meeting that needed to be done was the town hall elevator and other work. As a taxpayer I would rather have the civic theater group, which uses that part of the town hall, raise money privately for the work. Also, the school district passed a significant levy about a year or so ago and now we have the village removing this tax credit. For young

Susan Jacks Curtice “It’s got to be going to Frankenmuth, MI. My sister Donna and I take the kids and we stay at the Bavarian Inn with all the slides and pools. It takes me back to a totally different time. All your worries are gone. I love it! We go at least 2-3 times a year.”

Mark Jewell Northwood “Raising a newborn again. I had a son in May. I have a 9-yearold daughter and I’m enjoying going through it all again in my thirties as compared to my inexperienced twenties.”

A community choice To the editor: Since being named superintendent of Woodmore schools two months ago, I have tried faithfully to establish and foster relationships with community members, listen, and gather input about how residents feel we are doing as a district.

I’ve been committed to engaging our community in frank and open discussions to learn what you expect and to insure that we strive to be the district this community desires and deserves. I’ve promoted our ongoing effort with fiscal responsibility, the quality of our schools, and the value Woodmore offers.

On Nov. 8, voters have their last chance to renew the current school levy.

The levy committee’s theme is “Our School, Our Community, Our Future,” and they’ve been working hard to provide information about the upcoming school levy.

The underlying belief is that the schools and the community are one, and this levy is a community choice.

From our survey and my interactions, here’s what I’ve learned: • Overall, people feel we are in a positive transition and momentum is building.

• Stakeholders are grateful that we are listening to them and providing facts and information.

• 95 percent of survey respondents believe that retaining and attracting students/families is essential for district stability and growth.

• 89.7 percent of survey respondents think further staff cuts and program reductions will hurt the district’s changes of retaining and attracting students/families.

• People are more aware of district finances and that we’ve been fiscally responsible.

• Most people believe we provide quality educational programs and valued extracurricular/co-curricular programs.

• People are proud of our beautiful new school and well-maintained facilities.

We value hearing from residents and want to have ongoing conversations. I would be glad to attend meetings or informal gatherings.

I invite anyone to the board office for conversation. Just call our office at 419862-1060. You can also go to www.woodmorelevv.org or Facebook@woodmoreschoollevy.

We are on the move. Let’s all work together to move from the mindset of survive to thrive, to be the district this community proudly desires and deserves.

Levy support sought To the editor: Now I am a senior – again. Time was when someone my age would be considered “elderly” but now we are seniors, and it is much more dignified.

I was a senior twice before, in high school and in college, but, at that phase of my life, time seemed to stretch far into the future, almost to infinity. And, the abundance of time seemed to offer limitless possibilities of activities and adventures.

Now that the future is here, my time is much shorter. My advanced years must be considered when choosing activities and adventures to pursue. After over 30 years of teaching at BGSU, retirement seemed bleak; lacking the stimulus and rejuvenation offered daily through contact with younger people. For me, a rewarding hobby, community theater, still offered an enjoyable and rewarding leisure time activ-

ity. In retirement, all time is leisure; finding fulfillment and interest in daily life is more of a challenge than it was during my professional career.

At first, I resisted going to the senior center because I felt that surrounding myself with old people (like myself) would be a bore. However, when I finally overcame my misconceptions, I found the senior center provided an environment filled with lively and engaging fellow seniors. I found it to be my “home-away-from-home” without the responsibility of keeping it neat and clean for visitors.

The senior center staff is very caring, professional and competent. They develop and coordinate a variety of activities geared to the needs of seniors. My leisure time is filled with activities that entertain, educate, and enhance my health and well-being.

Moreover, an outstanding nutritional program provides great meals served at a nominal cost and I don’t have to wash the dishes.

There are also professionals ready to help seniors with problems unique to them.

It has been said that a measure of society can be taken in the manner in which that society cares for its older citizens. If that is true, the people of Wood County have demonstrated its concern for its seniors (or elderly) remarkably by supporting the Wood County Committee on Aging (WCCOA) for the past several decades.

WCCOA is seeking support through your vote to renew the Senior Services levy.

It has made a great and positive impact on my life. Your vote will enhance the lives of your grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts, and your neighbors, providing enrichment and fulfillment in their “senior” years.

Willard Misfeldt, Ph.D. Bowling Green

Help students succeed To the editor: Several years ago, the high school counselor job at Woodmore became available. As a kid, I spent a lot of time in the district because of athletics and my grandparents’ residence just outside of Elmore. When the counseling opportunity came about, I was intrigued to make a move from my previous position because of my interactions with a plethora of children, coaches, community members and families throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

I am now in my third year as the counselor here and those positive childhood perceptions have largely been proven to be true. There are many great people and students here in this community. Having worked at other schools and universities, and having spoken with educators and counselors from area districts, we have a terrific overall school system at Woodmore as a result of good people.

Currently I reside in Perrysburg and like a lot of people here in Elmore and Woodville, I understand what it is like to pay a significant amount of property tax.

However, I also know that it’s needed to maintain a solid foundation for our youth.

As an employee, I see the day-to-day needs of students as well as the district and I understand what it takes to help students reach success.

In just the past five years, Woodmore High School has already lost 23 percent (7.5 out of 32.5) of its staff. If we are forced to cut more people as a result of this renewal levy’s failure, we are quickly going to reach the point where we cannot adequately help

63%Yes 37% No

our students to succeed. Also, outside communities who currently envy much of what we have here – good families, good kids and a good school – will no longer feel that way.

Please vote yes for the Woodmore renewal levy on Nov. 8.

Andrew Hemminger Woodmore High School Counselor

Kids are our future To the editor: We need to support Woodmore Local Schools and the renewal of the five-year operating levy that generates $600,000 annually and expires at the end of the year.

The current board members, superintendent and treasurer are doing their best to keep the Woodmore taxpayers informed and deal with the financial issues of the district. As a retired treasurer with 25-plus years of experience, I know that the board members and administration have a difficult time dealing with the state and local funding when it is constantly changing and the board members and administration are working with estimates until the funds are actually received. I can also appreciate that it is difficult for taxpayers to understand school funding. This is where the taxpayer needs to ask questions of the board members and administration and let them explain so that you are able to understand.

Taxpayers need to understand that the State of Ohio pays 12.5 percent of the renewal levy. If the levy is brought back as a “new” levy in 2017, we the taxpayers, will be paying for the entire levy. The rollback of 12.5 percent will not be a part of a future new levy.

Please attend the monthly board meetings and ask questions of the board members and administration. They want to make Woodmore the best it can be; which is what we all want.

I ask that you support the renewal of the five-year operating levy. This is our last chance. If that levy is not passed, many addition cuts will be made to staff and programs at Woodmore. We need to keep Woodmore growing and thriving.

Kids are our future. Your support is appreciated. Keep our school strong.

Hurt by CAUV? To the editor: I am one of the owners of farmland who will never vote for another property tax levy as long as the Current Agricultural Use Valuation program is as unfair as it is now.

Three years ago, my farm property taxes tripled and then last year, with farm income dropping, the taxes more than doubled.

The tax board that sets CAUV is twisting the values. They had been honestly calculated for years. Not now.

I see several “mistakes” in the calculation: • Selling prices for grain are based on Chicago Board of Trade prices, while local elevator prices are 20 to 40 cents per bushel less.

• Totally ignored are discounts for moisture, test weight and other factors.

• Drainage costs are also ignored. This was Black Swamp country. Without good drainage, we raise nothing.

• Costs associated with farm shops and machine storage and labor other than field labor aren’t considered.

Many hours are spent on maintenance, record keeping and other farm-related duties. I’m sure there are others but these are

Remembering veterans To the editor: The Ottawa County Veterans Service Office thanks the community for their support in bringing Wreaths Across America to all of the veteran graves in Ottawa County cemeteries for the last two years. With your help, we placed over 5,000 wreaths each year.

The Ottawa County Veterans Service Office has turned this project over to an independent committee, which is working to make Wreaths Across America, Ottawa County a four-year project. The goal is to reach each cemetery over that four year period. For year one, we will be aiming to bring the wreaths to the veteran graves in all Marblehead and Elmore cemeteries in December 2016. Expansion of the wreath placement to additional county locations may happen based upon funding received.

As a fundraiser, we will be doing a fun run/walk on Nov. 5 at East Harbor State Park.

Visit our Facebook page, Wreaths Across America Ottawa County Ohio, to locate the flyer and registration form for the event.

Thank you in advance for your support in placing a Christmas wreath at the final resting place of our county heroes.

Respectful discourse To the editor: For some time now, Trump yard signs have been being stolen in Oregon. Recently, our neighborhood was subject to these childish actions.

This is still America and we have the right to express our opinion without being vandalized.

Whether you agree or disagree with a candidate’s course of action for our nation, it should be done respectfully. It only confirms the corruption that we have seen of late in politics.

No justice, no peace. Know justice, know peace.

Save precious time and don’t respond to belittlers There’s no shortage of people ready to criticize you, put you down, give you reasons you will fail, or make fun of you.

Belittlers are all around you. They volunteer their negative input whether you ask them or not.

You may feel a need to defend yourself, or to explain why their assessment of you is wrong. You can challenge their assertions, but you will accomplish nothing.

Unfortunately, most people won’t change their outlook, regardless of your efforts.

So then what’s the best way to respond to these people? Don’t respond at all. But it’s not that easy. You have a desire to defend yourself when attacked. You want to correct misconceptions. You feel erroneous information must be countered with the truth.

Belittlers are looking for attention.

Don’t give them any. It’s not worth your time. Getting into an argument with them is like throwing gasoline on a fire. They want you to be upset because it gives them satisfaction.

Don’t argue with a fool because those watching won’t be able to tell the two of you

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden apart. You have no obligation to respond to stupid remarks. People who put you down don’t deserve any of your attention.

Don’t take things personally. Don’t get defensive or angry. These reactions serve to empower the belittler. It really doesn’t matter what comments other people make.

Often, these types of people are trying to upset you. It’s what they do. You can’t change them.

Don’t change who you are, or what you are doing, in the hope of being accepted by a belittler. Adjusting your behavior, in the quest for approval, will not buy you any reprieve. If anything, the offending behavior will worsen.

Take time to cool down after an interaction with a belittler. Any comments made,

or actions taken, while you are upset will not be as prudent as when your thoughts are calm and collected. Not only is there no rush to respond, not responding at all is often the most effective strategy.

Keep things in perspective. As annoying as it is to deal with a belittler, their comments really don’t matter in the long or short run. Paying no attention to these people is an effective strategy. They don’t have any influence over you unless you allow them to.

Don’t internalize the malicious statements made by belittlers. Allow their comments to slide right off of you without sticking. You typically can’t change their opinions anyway. Becoming entangled in their negative remarks drags you down.

Whenever possible, minimize the amount of time you associate with belittlers. Avoid them altogether whenever possible. Resist the urge to spend time with them in the hopes of changing their opinions of you.

If you need to correct facts, make a short, simple statement. Be brief, calm, and to the point. Making a joke which illustrates

the idiocy of their comments is another approach. Don’t lower yourself to the belittler’s level. Remain above the fray. You have more important things to focus on.

If you have friends who are constant belittlers, perhaps you need new friends.

Surrounding yourself with positive, motivated people, creates a wonderful energy which allows you to keep your attitude recharged while helping others do the same.

There’s no need for belittlers to have a destructive impact on you. You already know who they are and what they say.

Visualize using the strategies mentioned above so you won’t get caught by surprise.

Changing your approach will reduce your stress and frustration when having to deal with belittlers.

Love is a verb

Ag Notes

Care for others — help them plan My grandmother, Mary, passed away last week at the age of 99.

A kind, service-oriented woman who packed two lifetimes into her one, she exemplified what it means to have lived a good life.

Reflecting back, it’s clear that she served others, and living to 99 required that she also be served. If there’s any doubt that love is action, you should have seen her kids care for her the final years of her life. It was inspiring, while it was also very difficult work at times.

Such is love, such is life.

If you’re in a caregiver role, or think you may be at some point in the relatively near future, there are some tangible steps you can take to minimize the confusion and relieve some of the anxiety. But before I share some of those steps with you, please consider the words of my mother, one of Mary’s four children, as a caregiver, “Forgive yourself and admit you aren’t perfect. Accept any help offered.” That’s some hard-won wisdom, my friends.

Here are six steps to plan care for another: 1. Talk. Spend some time in conversation with the person you’ll be caring for. Doing whatever you can to better understand their care needs and how you’ll plan to provide care will go a long way in your journey together. Continuing to have discussions along the way (unless they’re severely incapacitated) will allow adjustments and continued improvement.

2. Make a list. Write down everything you can think of as it pertains to the care needed. What specific needs are there, what services will be needed, and where do you intend to procure those services?

3. Build a team. Now that you have a sense for what’s needed, it’s time to solicit help. While you may be the coordinator of the care, that doesn’t mean you do all of the caring. Siblings, medical specialists, and religious groups can all provide significant levels of support to your loved one and to you. Don’t be bashful about asking.

4. Host a family meeting. Set a time for family members, including younger children, to get together to discuss likely care needs. It’s amazing how effective this can be when everyone gets involved. One way to ensure that others don’t help, or feel left out, is to not include them in the care from the beginning. By communicating clearly

Beyond Bob Evans experts host webinar the Money

by Adam Cufr and frequently with the family, everyone gets the opportunity to chip-in with their unique skills.

5. Learn your loved-one’s medical and financial status. This may not be easy to assess, but the more information they’ll offer you, the better care they’ll receive. Create lists of doctors, financial advisors, accountants, etc.

6. Meet with an estate planning attorney and their financial advisor. Having legal and financial matters arranged before health declines further may result in much better financial outcomes. Also, these professionals may have access to information and networks of other professionals that can pay huge dividends in your loved-one’s journey.

Of course, there are countless other actions that will be necessary over the course of caring for a loved one. Hopefully, this list will inspire you to get started now rather than wait.

When we look ahead, we know that the journey in caring for another person will not be easy. You’ll be challenged in ways that you never imagined. But looking back, you may recognize the deep satisfaction that comes from helping a person you love preserve their dignity and feel loved throughout the process. Don’t we all want that for our own life?

We may not all live 99 years like Mary did, but I hope that we all receive the care and love that she experienced from her amazing family and support system. There are steps to be taken that can make it simpler to navigate; ultimately, love is a verb.

Knitters donate 500 handmade hats Since the group’s inception last year, Knifty Knitting of Wood County Committee on Aging’s (WCCOA’s) Pemberville site has knitted and donated approximately 500 hats to veterans groups, cancer patients at Wood County Hospital, and the Bowling Green Pregnancy Center.

In August 2015, a group of ladies led

by Anna Meiring of Luckey, came up with the idea of knitting hats on looms for anyone who could use a little warmth and a loving touch.

During their knitting sessions, the women talk, laugh and knit, embodying the saying, “busy hands make a happy heart” – a feeling that’s boosted with the knowledge that they’re helping others.

The group currently has eight members and more are welcome – men and women

alike.

They meet in a corner of the fellowship hall of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Pemberville every Monday at 10:30 a.m. as part of the Senior Center’s weekly activities. Drop-ins are welcome.

For more info about the Knifty Knitters or the Pemberville senior center site, which operates 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday through Friday, call 419-287-4109.

The mission of the Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc., shall be to provide older adults with services and programs which empower them to remain independent and improve the quality of their lives.

Experts from Bob Evans Farms and Benesch law firm will discuss the Food and Drug Administration’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rule on sanitary transportation of human and animal food during a webinar hosted by the Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT), Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 1 p.m.

Josh Huff, director of transportation and logistics, Bob Evans Farms, will present the industry perspective on the requirements of the rule and how the food

industry will comply. Attorney Stephanie Penninger, of the business law firm Benesch, will share insights on the rule and its requirements.

The rule creates a modern, risk-based framework for food safety, particularly when food travels from farm-to-table. The goal is to prevent practices during transportation that create food safety risks.

The webinar is free to CIFT members and $25 for non-members. Visit ciftinnovation.org to register and pay online.

2016 CITY OF OREGON LEAF COLLECTION RULES AND SCHEDULE

We ask residents to please follow these rules when raking leaves: 1. Do not place leaves in the street or curb and gutter area, ditches and drainage swales.

Leaves in the street interfere with storm drainage, causing blockages and flooding.

The correct location for leaf piles is in the lawn area approximately 1-3 feet from the curb or road edge. Please note, due to local flood prevention and storm water quality regulations to improve Maumee Bay, placing leaves in a storm drain, curb and gutter, ditch, or drainage swale, is a direct violation of Oregon Municipal Code Sections 521.12 and 905.12 (See City website for specific code language at www.oregonohio.org)

2.

Do not include animal waste, grass clippings or yard waste (sticks, branches, straw, pumpkins, etc.) with the leaves.

Leaf collection machines are designed to pick up leaves only. Other items will plug these machines causing downtime and delays in your scheduled pick-up dates.

3. Do not place the leaf piles near trees, mailboxes or signs.

Obstructions like these cause crews to stop and hand rake, thus slowing the collection process. Please keep the leaf pile a minimum of three (3) feet from the said obstructions.

Leaf Collection Schedule Leaves will be collected in the areas listed below on a rotating basis two (2) days in each area (approximately every two (2) weeks) as scheduled to complete the job or as long as weather permits (snowfall and ice). Please be advised that the schedule below may end early due to inclement weather or as warranted by existing conditions. Leaves must be bagged for garbage pick-up when the schedule ends. Leaves may be bagged and put out with the weekly garbage pick-up at any time (40lb bag limit). The City suggests that you use your leaves for compost and bedding for your garden areas. No parking on streets during leaf pick-up in your area on days scheduled.

LEAF COLLECTION RULES AND SCHEDULE

Area #1 (From Navarre Avenue (both sides) to the south city limits and from the west side of Lallendorf Road to the west city limits) Oct. 26 or 27, Nov. 9 or 10, Nov. 29 or 30.

Counseling Corner

1st place winner

When it’s time to have ‘that talk’ with an aging parent

"Blow Me Away"

by Maggi Dandar, of Curtice, won first place in the 2017 Ottawa County Calendar photo contest.

The brochure/ calendar is a joint effort by Ottawa County, Lucas County, State of Ohio and the First Energy Corporation. (Photo courtesy of Maggi Dandar)

From the American Counseling Association It’s an increasingly common situation that many families face. Improved health care and healthier lifestyles have many people living well into their 70s, 80s and beyond. And while many of these folks may be in relatively good health, it’s natural that their children begin to worry that their aging parents can no longer care for themselves as well as they once did.

Such situations can result in a variety of emotionallyladen decisions that require family discussions.

It can often be extremely difficult to discuss, never mind reach decisions, about issues such as where elderly parents should live, what health services are needed, current financial situations, wills and estate planning, the surrendering of a driver’s license and related topics.

But, while such discussions with an aging parent may be difficult, they are necessary. And there are ways to make such talks less prone to disagreement and more apt to lead to productive results.

Start by picking a time and place for important conversations that will make your parent feel comfortable.

A big help in holding useful discussions is to speak in a way that avoids judgmental “you” statements, such as, “Dad, you have to accept....” Instead, talk about what you feel and think about an issue, rather than taking the position that what you believe is correct while your parent’s views are simply wrong.

It’s vital that you respect your parent’s right to argue and disagree. Listen to your parent’s feelings, views and ideas, especially when the subject involves major decisions. Realize that your job is to offer advice and support, not to dictate how things “must” be. It helps for you to see how difficult it may be for a parent to admit that he or she is becoming limited and less capable.

You might also include someone you and your parent mutually trust, but don’t make your parent feel he or she is being ganged up on.

Accept that reaching necessary decisions may take time. See initial discussions as door openers, chances to get the process started.

It’s emotionally difficult for parent and child when an aging parent can no longer handle daily life on his or her own. Holding effective discussions on changes to be made can be much more productive, and far less traumatic, than simply trying to dictate decisions. If extra help is needed, seek out a professional counselor who specializes in geriatric issues.

Free grief workshop Hospice of Northwest Ohio will facilitate a two-hour “Facing the Holidays After the Loss of a Loved One” workshop for families or individuals dealing with the death of a loved one on Sunday, Dec. 4 from 2-4 p.m. Being held at the Toledo Hospice Center, 800 S. Detroit Ave., just north of Arlington, the session will enable participants to interact with their peers to share, learn and support each other through the grieving experience.

Kids and Teens – Special activities will encourage participants to share their personal stories of loss and teach them new ways to cope. They will explore their thoughts and feelings regarding the holidays and learn helpful, creative ways to explore their grief.

Adults – Counselors will help attendees explore thoughts and feelings regarding the holidays and learn helpful, creative ways to remember their loved ones, cope with the stress of the holidays, grieve, and rekindle the holiday spirit.

Anyone in the community is welcome to attend the programs, whether or not they have any experience with Hospice of Northwest Ohio.

Though the workshops are free, registration is required by Nov. 29. To register, call Hospice’s Bereavement Department at 419-661-4001 or 734-568-6801.

Rothert, Montag, Tuohy take player of year honors Graduating seven seniors and four starters didn’t seem to matter to Woodmore’s girls’ soccer team this fall.

The Wildcats, coached by Jason Allen, clinched the outright Northern Buckeye Conference championship on Saturday in their 2-0 shutout of Eastwood. Junior Hayley Freund and Lily Rothert both scored in the second half for Woodmore, which got 10 saves from freshman goalie Phoebe Jackson in the win over the Eagles.

“My girls had the will to win,” Allen said. “They definitely know we can be successful with losing that many players (to graduation). Having a good start (to this season) was good. The competition at the beginning of the season was moderate and it got tougher as the season ramped up. It was good to have those early wins under our belt to move forward the rest of the season.”

The Wildcats (14-1-1) blanked Delta, 7-0, in a Division III sectional tournament opener on Monday and face visiting Cardinal Stritch in Saturday’s sectional finals. The ‘Cats finished 8-1-1 in the NBC and second behind Liberty-Benton in the final NWOSSCA poll. Eastwood was ranked fifth and Genoa was seventh.

Senior midfielder Lily Rothert was named the NBC Player of the Year and leads the Wildcats with 44 points (15 goals, 14 assists). Junior midfielder Carly Rothert has 17 goals and was also a first-team AllNBC selection along with Freund (16 goals, seven assists) and senior Liz Koenig.

Woodmore sophomores Nora LaMunyon and Katie Brugger were second-team All-NBC picks. Freshman Claire Rothert (13 goals) was an honorable mention selection along with Jackson, who recorded 62 saves.

Also earning first-team all-conference honors were Kara Ameling and Dani Bruning of Eastwood, Alexis Schumaker and Tatum Neumann of Genoa, and Kayla Saffran and

Woodmore senior midfielder Lily Rothert.

senior goalie Emily Lovell of Lake.

The second team included Valerie Marquardt, Sydney Wagner and Marissa Young of Genoa; Nichole Swartz, Jordan Davidson and junior goalie Chandler Davidson of Eastwood; and Rebekah Swartz of Lake.

Lake’s Olivia Matlack and Taylor Timmons were named honorable mention All-NBC along with Hannah Rowland of Genoa and Morgan Rost and Staci Bienko of Eastwood.

Montag, Tuohy share honors Eastwood senior forward Jacob Montag and Lake senior midfielder Nick Tuohy are sharing NBC Co-Player of the Year honors in boys’ soccer.

Lake (15-0-1 overall), the No. 2 ranked team in Northwest Ohio, won the league championship with a 9-0-1 record, followed by Eastwood (8-1-1), Rossford and Woodmore tied at 4-5-1, Genoa was 3-7, and Otsego 0-10. Besides Tuohy, other Lake first team selections are junior defender Devon

Lindhurst, junior forward Mikey Szymanski and junior goalkeeper Brandon Theilen.

Flyers making the All-NBC second team are junior defenders Cole Lloyd and Keegan Lafferty, junior midfielder Shawn Lillich and senior forward Zack Ellison.

Lake junior midfielder Carson Tracey is HM. Lake coach Chad Lillich says his team has started to focus on the tournament.

Lillich, who has been involved in youth soccer programs with many of his players, adds that the program has momentum going into next year, too, no matter what happens in the postseason.

“Now we have 33 players on both the varsity and the JV,” Lillich said. “(Assistant coach) Brian Reed — if I didn’t have him — we wouldn’t be where we are. We’ve got 33 kids in our programs, no bad apples whatsoever. A lot of guys that are on this team, I coached some of them when they were 10-years-old.”

No. 2 seed Lake opened the Division III tournament play Saturday by hosting Woodmore (7-9-1), which was an 8-0 first round winner over Toledo Christian (4-93). A win over the Wildcats would have sent the Flyers to the Rossford district semifinal at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 25, where they could end up facing No. 3 seed Ottawa Hills (11-4-1) again, the team that put them out of the tournament last year.

Besides Montag, other local first team All-NBC picks are Woodmore sophomore defender Sam Barbee, Eastwood senior defender Ryan Reiter and Eastwood senior midfielder Logan Baugher.

Second team choices include Genoa junior Jack Ford, Genoa sophomore Sean Hoeft, Eastwood senior Rudy Cruz, Woodmore junior Eli Rogers, Woodmore senior forward Matt Duslak, Eastwood junior forward Jacob Hahn and Eastwood senior goalkeeper Rudy Bowe.

Stritch volleyball sweeps conference’s top awards

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Cardinal Stritch volleyball is not only celebrating the sharing of the Toledo Area Athletic Conference title, senior libero Cassidy Wlodarz is the league’s Player of the Year.

Wlodarz, who has played on the Stritch varsity for four years and will continue her athletic career at Owens Community College, is one of eight seniors on this year’s championship team — Stritch’s first in volleyball in seven years. The Cardinals share the title with Toledo Christian, who they split matches with this year.

There is even more to celebrate.

Second-year coach Angela Hierholzer is TAAC Coach of the Year.

There is even more — setter Hailey McCourtie is first team All-TAAC, middle hitter Emily Uher is second team and middle hitter Katie Empie and setter Kayla McIlhargey are honorable mention. All are seniors.

The Cardinals are seeded fourth in a tough district. The Fostoria district features the top seed, Arlington, with No. 2 Toledo Christian and No. 3 Carey. Stritch hosts the winner of Carey-Lakota in the sectional final, and should the Cardinals win, will

likely face the Eagles in a rematch in the district semifinals.

“I think they’ve been practicing and thinking about (the tournament) all season,” Hierholzer said. “We have a sign in our gym that says ‘Play for November.’

They’re ready to play their hardest in these coming weeks. I feel like they’re prepared and they have the drive to do it.

“Leading up to the end of the season, we’re playing hard against teams and we’re playing phenomenal. It’s nice to see them playing really hard going into the tournament. We’re excited for the state tournament and ready to go. Hopefully we’ll get past where we did last year.”

In Hierholzer’s two years at the helm, she has accumulated a 33-12 overall record with a 20-3 mark in the TAAC. Before taking over at Stritch, Hierholzer, a 2006 graduate, was an assistant at Notre Dame Academy and coached the junior high team at St. Kateri.

“I love coaching at Stritch. I love the family environment that we have. I love that the girls know each other even if they don’t hang out. The student section has been awesome, and I love that it’s been a tight-knit family,” said Hierholzer. “It’s nice to bring that tradition back and feel what they feel. Going up against TC, it’s such a rivalry — they know what I’m feel-

ing, I know what they’re feeling.”

Hierholzer knew that taking over as the head coach would be taxing, but she’s glad to have taken on the challenge.

“It’s a lot of work, but I knew that when I signed up. I feel like we’re doing a good job,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of freshmen that are going to be very good players. The (junior high) coach and I communicate very well and get along very well. Eventually, I would like to start volleyball in the fourth grade at Stritch and get the girls to start it out at an early age.”

A special moment came on September 12 when the Cardinals faced Northwood in the Volley for Life match that honored Stritch alum Brandon Morris. Morris died last year at the age of 30 but his liver was donated and saved the life of George Henderson, a native of East Canton.

For the Rangers, junior libero Allie Jude is a first team All-TAAC selection, junior setter Nayvee Dewar is second team and Amber Meach and Olivia Randall are honorable mention. Jude finished with 331 digs, 25 aces, 32 kills and a 2.12 passing percentage, while Dewar had 320 assists, 37 aces and 63 kills.

For Gibsonburg, Chloe Morelock is first team, Emma Jones is second team and Katelyn Kolkemeyer and Libby Henderson are HM.

Eastwood volleyball — perfection achieved

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Two goals have been met, and now it’s time to move on for Eastwood’s undefeated volleyball team.

The Eagles, coached by Jeff Beck, finished the regular season 22-0 and won the Northern Buckeye Conference championship with a 14-0 mark. Runnerup Otsego had an 11-3 record in the NBC. Eastwood was also ranked 10th in the final OHSVCA coaches’ poll in Division III. “To go 22-0 in the regular season is really tough to do,” Beck said. “I’ve never done it before. We really just set many goals each week and continued to talk about those goals during the week. It has been very rewarding. It was a goal of theirs at the beginning of the year to go undefeated.”

The Eagles clinched the outright NBC title by beating Otsego on Oct. 11.

“We didn’t celebrate,” Beck said. “We went home and realized we wanted to have an undefeated season. We didn’t get a trophy that night or hang up a banner. We just went about our business.”

Eastwood secured an unbeaten regular season with a win over Lake last Thursday.

“We’re not focusing on that,” Beck said. “We really want to win districts and get to the Sweet 16. We’re just taking it one match at a time and trying to stay focused and level-headed. We get everybody’s best shot and we respect everyone we play.”

The Eagles, the No. 1 seed at the D-III sectional, host Ottawa Hills on Saturday, with the winner advancing to the district tournament at Perrysburg on Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. Eastwood, which tied for the NBC title a year ago, has no seniors on this year’s roster.

“The key is that we had some returners who have been leading this team since their freshman year,” Beck said. “Statistically, they led the team as freshmen and sophomores. They had a lot of experience and that’s the key.”

Hannah Hodulik, a 6-foot junior middle hitter, leads the Eagles with 36 aces and 29 solo blocks. She also has 143 kills. Junior setter Abby Schroeder has

Clay’s Arquette advances to state tennis tournament Clay sophomore tennis player Mady Arquette qualified for the Division I state tournament after finishing second at the Bowling Green State University district meet.

It was not easy for her to qualify, however, as the qualifying match went three sets. She had to finish second because only two qualified from the Northwest District.

“Mady played a very skilled opponent — (she) battled aver 3½ hours on the court. An amazing comeback from a difficult (6-0) first set,” said her coach, Walt Ralph.

That semifinal match saw Arquette come back to defeat Springfield sophomore Kyleigh Henthorne 0-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4. Arquette advanced to the district final, losing to Perrysburg sophomore Emma Carter 6-3, 6-2, but both Carter and Arquette qualified for state.

Arquette, a No. 1 seed at districts, defeated Anthony Wayne sophomore Kailyn Szmania 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 and Perrysburg sophomore Gemma Smith 6-2, 6-1 to advance to the semifinal round.

She was to open the state meet, which includes 16 qualifiers seeking a state title, against Westlake sophomore Emma Peeler on Friday. The state meet was held Friday and Saturday at Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, between Cincinnati and Dayton.

She and teammate Tori Gallaher had qualified for district singles tournament after Arquette won a championship and Gallaher finished fourth at the Fremont sectional. The Clay doubles team of Alyson Naugle and Olivia Tilton also qualified for the district tournament.

For the fifth time in six years, Clay finished third in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. The only year Clay did not finish third was 2013 when the Eagles took second.

Ashley Timmons claims third Player of Week award For the third time this season, Spring Arbor University junior goalkeeper Ashley Timmons (Lake) has been named the Crossroads League Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.

Timmons, who was also crowned Player of the Week on Sept. 19 and on Sept.

5, made seven total saves in two matches last week, including four in a road matchup against rival Grace College to record her ninth shutout of the season. She also made three stops in a 2-1 victory over Mount Vernon Nazarene University. The lone goal she allowed came off a penalty kick.

Timmons’ nine shutouts not only lead the league, but are tied for the most in the country. She also ranks first nationally in goals against average (0.17), allowing just two goals in 12 matches.

The No. 1 ranked Cougars (13-0-1, 6-0-1 CL) traveled to Bethel College (4-11,

Neal’s leadership one bright light during rough spell

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Waite football coach Dan Chipka has high standards, so that’s why Toledo City League losses to Start and Rogers the past two weeks have made Chipka a little, well, chippy.

The Indians started 3-2 but fell to 0-3 in the CL heading into Friday’s league game at against west side rival Scott at Mollenkopf Stadium. Chipka says it was bad enough starting the league schedule with losses to Start and Rogers, but a 33-28 defeat at the hands of Bowsher last Thursday really took away any expectations this team might have had.

“We’re not playing very well,” Chipka said. “We are fairly young. We started out really well. We started 3-2 and got off on the wrong foot against our two league opponents. It puts things in perspective that we are a very young football team. There’s still time for us to finish out the year strong.”

One player Chipka never worries about is LaMarcus Neal. The 6-foot-1, 245-pound junior, who starts at left guard and plays tackle and end on defense, has been a solid presence all season.

“We like to move him around a little bit (on defense),” Chipka said. “He’s versatile enough to do both. He has a unique blend of size, strength and speed.”

That’s not all. Chipka said he also admires Neal for his leadership skills and desire to work hard and lead by example. The coach called Neal a “high-character kid.”

“When he needs to get vocal, he says all the right things in the locker room,” Chipka said. “A number of players in the program have bought into our 12-month program, and he would be at the top of that list as far as dedication and attendance to our voluntary workouts. He’s having a solid junior year and he is a high achiever in the classroom.”

Neal, who throws the shot and discus on the Indians’ track team, said he only missed a few team workouts in the offseason. Neal saw a lot of time on the varsity as a sophomore and prepared himself to become a full-time starter this season.

“I came every single day and put in the hard work,” Neal said. “I kind of knew I was going to start from last year; we knew who was going to start. Coach Chip had us in the workout room, getting stronger and not being lazy. I lost 10-15 pounds.”

The offseason workouts were held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, and on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

“Coach Chip wasn’t the happiest person when you missed them,” Neal said.

“My mom (Angelica) is very supportive, so

Heintschel top scholar-athlete Ball State soccer goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel (Clay) has been named the Mid-American Conference Female Scholar Athlete of the Week for the second time this season. Heintschel owns a 4.0 GPA as a chemistry major.

The 2015 All-MAC first team goalkeeper posted a 2-0 record over the weekend, allowing just one goal in two games to help the Cardinals take sole possession of first place in the MAC standings.

Heintschel notched her fourth consecutive shutout (and sixth in seven starts) in a 2-0 victory over Bowling Green. She came within seven minutes of another one against Toledo when she made five saves, including four diving or leaping stops, to keep the Rockets off the scoreboard until the 84th minute of Ball State’s 2-1 victory.

Neal and Chipka both admit that Neal isn’t a rah-rah, let’s get ‘em type of player.

Instead, he allows his play on the field and his dedication to the team do the talking for him.

This, for example, is what Neal said he would say to his teammates heading into the last three games of the season: “We need to pull it together. We all need to have our best days. Everybody has good days and bad days. Everybody has to have their good day on the same day. These last three weeks, we need to play our best, play with some heart, and play for our seniors.

Coach said we have to play for them, like we would want the younger kids to play for us when we become seniors.”

Neal said that speech probably won’t come. His teammates, he said, can count on him to play to the best of his ability over the final weeks.

“I call myself a leader, but a silent leader,” Neal said. “The coaches try to get me to talk. When some of our leaders are absent, they wanted me to speak up and take some roles that I didn’t really want to. I try to get my job done on the field so they can follow me and be the best they can. I’m just laid back. I try to be a leader in the classroom, off the football field. I try to be as sociable as I can.”

Neal has dived right into the school’s Young Men of Excellence program, under the direction of Waite counselor Josh Vance.

Neal said it is both a club and a group, which meets every Thursday after school.

“We’re a brotherhood,” he said. “We meet every Thursday and we have fun. We want to build excellence in our group and spread it throughout the community. We try to set good examples. We did projects to help people and filmed them. We try to build each other up, and the people around me make me a better person.

“Every Thursday we talk about the good and the bad. We have (classmates) stand and we tell them they need to do better. I learn from my mistakes and I see that I can be a better person. I try to help everyone else as much as they help me.”

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Avoiding Strife Lawyers, politicians and teachers are frequently in positions where they must argue persuasively for one position or another. That is part and parcel of their job, and arguing serves.The valuable service of allowing the truth to stand out in contrast to error or ignorance. In many areas of life, however, arguing serves no useful purpose and just creates needless strife and division. When people are making casual conversation it is easy to find things to disagree with, but such disagreements rarely foster peace and harmony. It is tedious to be around someone who is always correcting us. With family, friends, and co-workers it is usually better to find areas of mutual agreement rather than disagreement.

Genoa

And even when there is disagreement, sometimes the way to resolve the issue is to start with what you agree on and see if you can move on from there. When we must argue, it can usually be done calmly and with civility. Sometimes we find ourselves drifting into argument without realizing how this even happened. As the discussion turns from mild difference of opinion to angry disagreement, our tempers flare and we often say things we will regret. By being less argumentative you will probably find that you get along with others much better. “It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.” —Proverbs 20:3 NIV

OLIVER

Hi, I'm Oliver and I'm pleased to meet you! And I'm especially pleased to be alive and safe. I'm just a kitten and was lost in a world much bigger than me. I wandered into the street and was hit by a car. Some people saw it happen, and lucky for me, those people live next door to Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet's shelter manager. I was rushed to the emergency vet and they made me all better. My road rash has healed but I do have some neurological damage that causes my one front paw to curl under. The veterinarian says there's no need to amputate and I'm just extra special!

I'm ready to find a home with someone who will love me and keep me safe forever. Stop by Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet at 5250 Hill Avenue (at Reynolds) Wednesday through Saturday from 12 - 5 pm and let's go home together! In honor of Breast Cancer Aware-ness Month, the cat adoption fee is $10 for families battling breast cancer and breast cancer survivors through November.
