EMS transition underway By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Lake Township officials plan to have a township-staffed paramedic emergency medical service department operating in the first quarter of 2018, ending a contract for service personnel with LifeStar. Voters in the township on Nov. 7 overwhelmingly approved a 1-mill property tax levy that will generate about $230,204 annually for the 24/7 service. A 0.8-mill levy already on the tax duplicate also helps fund the service. Mark Hummer, township administrator, said meetings with LifeStar executives are being scheduled for next week to prepare an exit strategy for the township. Under the agreement with LifeStar, which is set to expire next April, the company provides two paramedics for each shift and the township provides an emergency vehicle, equipment and houses the on-duty personnel at the administration building on Cummings Road. Currently, the township is paying $70,000 annually for the service and LifeStar receives additional revenue from billing for transportation. Hummer said he and Fire Chief Bruce Moritz plan to discuss pay rates for paramedics hired by the township. “We need to set pay rates for our personnel and we are going to discuss creating an EMS coordinator position. It will be a working position, like a head paramedic, who would report to the fire chief. Obviously, I need to OK that with the (township) trustees,” he said. Hummer said he also plans to meet with LifeStar paramedics to see if there is interest in working for the township. “We certainly will talk to all the LifeStar paramedics interested in working here. We’ll have 24-hour service but we’re not sure yet if the staff will include part-time paramedics or not,” he said. To gauge anticipated revenue and costs Continued on page 2

Water quality

EPA awards $4.5 million to Ohio By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded $4,556,900 to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to improve the water quality of the state’s rivers and streams. The funding is awarded under the Clean Water Act, which authorizes the EPA to provide grant money to states to implement nonpoint pollution control programs. Nonpoint source pollution, unlike pollution from industrial and sewage treatment plants, comes from land runoff, precipitation, drainage and other diffuse sources. Nonpoint pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants before being deposited into lakes, rivers, wetlands, and ground waters. Nonpoint source pollution can include: •Excess fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides from agricultural lands; •Oil, grease and toxic chemicals from urban runoff and energy production; •Sediment from improperly managed construction sites, crop and forest lands, and eroding stream banks; • Bacteria and nutrients from livestock,

Previous grants funded by the program include Canada geese/gull control with specifically trained dogs for Lake Erie/Maumee Bay State Park. (Photo courtesy of Ohio EPA) pet wastes and faulty septic systems Nonpoint source pollution is the leading remaining cause of water quality problems, according to the EPA. It has been shown that these pollutants have harmful effects on drinking water supplies, recreation, fisheries and wildlife.

Partnerships The grant demonstrates the value of state and federal partnerships, said EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. “Providing funds directly to Ohio is an excellent example of EPA empowering a state to address its unique and critical enviContinued on page 2

EPA Continued from front page ronmental challenges,” said Pruitt. Federal dollars continue to be a vital part of Ohio’s comprehensive strategy to improve water quality in Ohio, according to Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler. “These partnerships at the federal level, along with our collaborations with other states and local communities, help to increase the number of Ohio’s water bodies safe for swimming and fishing and that often serve as sources for public drinking water systems,” said Butler. The funding was authorized through the U.S. EPA’s Nonpoint Source Program, which has restored over 6,000 miles of streams and over 164,000 acres of lakes since 2006. Senator Sherrod Brown released a statement praising the Program, citing the Toledo water crisis in 2014 caused by harmful algal blooms as an example of why the program is critical to Ohio communities. “Protecting Ohio waterways is important for safe drinking water and local jobs,” said Brown. “By reducing runoff and working to prevent pollution, we can eliminate harmful algal blooms and ensure that our lakes, rivers, and streams remain viable resources for Ohio businesses and residents in the future.” The EPA funding will support Ohio’s active reporting on water quality standards and watershed planning for impaired rivers and streams. Funding will also support outreach activities to educate the general public and landowners about nonpoint source pollution, according to the EPA. Past projects Projects that have received funding from the program in The Press circulation area, according to James Lee, Ohio EPA’s media relations manager, include: •A bio-retention facility community demonstration project in Oregon. The city received a $103,228.70 grant to install 4,950 square feet of bio-retention cell demonstrations at the Oregon Recreation Complex; •A $6,987.49 grant for a wetland rain garden at the Maumee Bay Nature Center that included the installation of a multiple barrel rainwater storage system, reconstruction and restoration of two acres of wetlands as a rain garden, planting of two acres of wetland species, and treatment/removal of two acres of invasive species; •A $19,870 grant for the Wolf Creek Floodplain Enhancement Project in Oregon, which included the planting of 4,800 native Ohio wetland plugs and 30 native shrubs along floodplains adjacent to Wolf Creek. •A $5,675 grant for nutrient reduction for Lake Erie Maumee Bay State Park, which provided 117 days of Canada goose/ gull control with specifically trained dogs, and installed four project specific signs for public education and outreach.

Bldg. standards board chairman frustrated By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Friction continues between the chairman of the Ottawa County Board of Building Standards and the administration of the county’s health department and some members of its board. In a recent letter to township trustees throughout the county, Larry Durivage, who chairs the building standards board, urges them to take a more pro-active role in the appointment process of health board members. Durivage said he’s received many complaints from contractors and installers of septic systems to get required permits and inspections from the health department. In August, he organized a meeting in Port Clinton to offer builders and business owners an opportunity to voice their concerns to the health board. “The purpose of this letter and the meeting has been to retain and gain new taxpaying residents by allowing them to build and/or remodel in the townships and county,” the letter says. “The elected officials and appointed boards hold these positions so that we make Ottawa County a better place to live and play. The townships appoint the members to the board of health

news is that some of the 2016 loan monies may be able to be utilized for existing applications. Ottawa County is already approved for another $300,000 of loan forgiveness money,” Osborn says in a Nov. 6 letter to Mark Stahl, a county commissioner. The health department has also applied for an additional $200,000 that would be awarded in May 2018, she wrote. The department has recently hired a new director of its environmental health division. Osborn and two members of the health department board, Bruce Moritz and Jill Stinebaugh, attended the August meeting organized by Durivage. Moritz called for an executive session during last week’s board meeting to discuss personnel. “We are trying to address all those concerns expressed during the August meeting,” Moritz said Thursday. “We need to sit down with a couple people from the board of building standards and have an open dialogue to put some of the questions and issues to bed. I want it to be a very constructive discussion in ways that we can work together. Or if there is some false information out there, we can try to correct it.” He said the health department needs to be become more user-friendly.

as per the rules that are drawn up by the Ohio Revised Code.” Durivage said last week his frustration continues after attending the October and November meetings of the health board. Board members were largely unresponsive to questions posed by those in the audience during the October meeting, he said, adding much of his frustration is with Nancy Osborn, health commissioner. Durivage has also raised questions about the fate of a loan program for low-income households needing assistance for repairs to their septic systems. The Water Pollution Control Loan Fund is administered by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. According to Osborn, the health department received authorization in May 2016 to offer principal forgiveness loans to eligible residents requiring repairs or replacements of their sewage systems. However, because the program was new to the health department, developing policies, bid/quote procedures, inspection forms and other EPA-required documentation took much longer than expected and the department will be submitting applications for 2018. “It took longer than it should have to develop and implement the program; however, today it is in full process.

Two with local ties shake up council By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Of seven challengers running for Toledo City Council on Nov. 7, two with connections to our side of town made the grade. Gary Johnson, an East Toledo businessman and Nick Komives, who was raised in Genoa, were elected as council members at large. Twelve were running for six spots, and of the 12, five were incumbents. One incumbent, Harvey Savage Jr., finished seventh and lost his seat, while Johnson and Komives were the only challengers elected. According to unofficial results not yet certified, Johnson finished fourth in the voting with 21,039 votes (9.4 percent) and Komives was fifth with 20,470 (9.14). They actually beat incumbent Larry J. Sykes (19.961, 8.92), who was elected at the final spot and held his seat, and Savage (18,423, 8.23). The top three incumbents who were reelected are, in order, Sandy Spang (27,176, 12.14), Rob Ludeman (24,753, 11.06) and Cecilia M. Adams (21,730, 9.71). There was one other challenger with ties to this side of town, Lake High School graduate Sam Melden, who finished eighth and out of the running with 18,206 votes (8.13 percent). He had previously been a minister for five years involved with Food For Thought, a nonprofit that operates food shelters around the Toledo metropolitan area. New councilmen have priorities Johnson, an endorsed Democrat, says his priorities are to improve city services without raising taxes, overcome bureaucratic inertia, improve economic development outside the downtown core, make residential neighborhoods more viable and attractive, improve regional cooperation, deal with the opioid epidemic, and “to make Toledo a great place to do business, live and raise a family.” Johnson has over 30 years of business experience. Since 2005, Johnson has owned and operated a small business in greater Toledo. He moved his business to East Toledo, near downtown, in 2008. In 2014, his business was recognized by Fortune magazine as the 11th-fastest growing inner city business in the U.S. with a three-year growth of 567 percent. “I want to make Toledo a great place to do business, live, and raise a family. I want to make sure that Toledo is helping small business owners like myself. I believe that Toledo needs someone who is dedicated to its basic common needs. I hope to apply my experience of building an extremely successful business to running city government.” Johnson is a member of the East Toledo Club, Hungarian Club, and VFW Hall on Consaul Avenue in East Toledo. At an election forum at the East Toledo Senior Center

before votes were cast, he promised to focus hard on reducing crime. “If we can’t get rid of the drug dealers, we’re not going to get rid of the other problems,” Johnson said. He also wants to see “absentee landlords fix their properties up. I’m very, very bullish about that. I’m also very, very bullish on building a bigger tax base.” Komives, also an endorsed Democrat, says his priorities are to “protect our future by accounting for every dollar by applying priority-based budgeting, keep our citizens safe by ensuring clean, affordable drinking water is accessible for all, (and) invest in our neighborhoods and repair our city’s infrastructure so all Toledoans are proud to call their neighborhoods home.” Komives wants to “implement fresh new ideas” with programs like homeless to hired, public banking, green business certification, form-based zoning and smart city technology. He says he has “advocated for people and their rights my entire life as a community organizer.” “In Toledo, we are used to fighting for our community. It’s one of the many reasons I love this city. We’re a proud city. It’s time we have someone who stands up for all Toledoans,” Komives said. Komives says he “believes it’s important that we have younger people as part of the (political) process.” Plus, he promises to be loyal to this side of town, saying “East Toledo has long been a forgotten part of Toledo.”

While on his campaign touring the Family House at 669 Indiana Ave., Johnson talked about his homelessness experience, met with a homeless family, and called for continued community support of Toledo’s non-profit agencies that serve Toledo’s needy. Johnson was 5-years-old when his parents divorced. The family was split up with some ending up in a shelter and others elsewhere. “Fortunately some family members stepped in, worked the system to get us under one roof again, and eventually back living with my mother,” said Johnson. Johnson said he wanted to tour Family House because it works to keep homeless families in crisis together. Approximately 60 percent of those served are children. The average age of a child staying at Family House is 4-years-old. “I wish there would have been a ‘Family House’ type organizations around when my family experienced homelessness. Plus Family House is a good representation of what our local non-profits are going through. Money is drying up from Washington and other sources making it more and more difficult for them to serve our less fortunate. I am pledging my support and calling on Toledo City Council to take a leadership role in helping our area’s non-profit agencies find necessary funding. The price of failure is too great. It would be devastating,” said Johnson. Johnson said council must make sure that the area non-profits get the financial benefits from grants, programs, and government agencies designed to help them. “Many times these non-profits fill out the necessary paperwork and wait months and months to be reimbursed for their services. This process on a local level must be streamlined and made to be more responsive. Council needs to help call attention to these agencies fund raising events and encourage constituents to attend. Council must encourage the business community whenever possible to support these programs,” Johnson said.

Helping the Homeless While Komives believes in programs that can help find jobs for the homeless, Johnson has already been one of the homeless. According to Matt Zaleski of Hubbub Marketing, LLC, a marketing firm based in East Toledo that handled Johnson’s campaign marketing and public relations, Johnson was young and his parents had just split up. But the experience and memories of being homeless are still vivid today for Johnson.

Trailer parking zoning ok’d By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council last week approved a Special Use Permit that allows commercial vehicle and semi-trailer parking at 1010 N. Wynn Road. The applicant was Clarence Brooks Jr., of Asphalt Materials, Inc., the owner, Robert McDonald. A public hearing on the matter was held on Oct. 23 that was extended to Monday. “It was continued today so they could give us a more accurate site plan,” said Jim Gilmore, commissioner of building/zoning. The Oregon Planning Commission at a public hearing on Sept. 19 voted 5-0 to recommend the Special Use Permit in an A-1 Agricultural zoned district with the condition that council could specify the designated area for the trailer parking. Empty trailers

Toy for Tots Drive kicks-off The Ottawa County Helping Hand Toy Drive – a collaborative effort of The Salvation Army, Toys for Tots “Weapons Company 1/24” and Ottawa County Holiday Bureau – kicked off Nov. 16 and continues through Dec. 15. The agencies partner with other community organizations to assure that each child in Ottawa County receives a gift under their tree this holiday season. “We are always in need of gift items for all ages, specifically 9-18 years of age,” said Salvation Army Director Maureen Saponari. “By partnering, we are able to provide assistance to all who are in need

and make our donated dollars stretch. Because of this collaboration, last year over 6,000 toys were distributed to children in Ottawa County. “This year, we anticipate serving a minimum of 1,200 children countywide,” she said. “All toys collected will stay in Ottawa County and serve our local residents in need.” Among the drop-off locations are GenoaBank and the Salvation Army-Port Clinton Service Unit, or mail donations to The Salvation Army, 1834 East Perry St., Port Clinton, OH 43452. For more details, call Saponari at 419732-ARMY (2769).

Brooks said at the Planning Commission meeting in September that Asphalt Materials did not plan on doing any manufacturing, they just need some space for trailer parking. He said 99.5 percent of the trailers would be empty. Brooks said the trailers would be entering and exiting the site from the gate on the north side of the property. City Administrator Mike Beazley will work with the company on tree screening as a buffer on the southerly border. Gilmore said plans call for 50 feet of screening with trees and hedges. Brooks had asked if the screening is re-

quired, and Gilmore said it was. Brooks said he had spoken with a neighbor who likes the open yard and he was not sure she wanted trees that close to her house. Gilmore said the Architectural Review Committee can approve changes to legislation requiring tree screening. Seferian at the council meeting on Monday said the owner of a house nearest the property to the south was in favor of the zoning change. “When we were thinking of putting some kind of condition on buffering, she preferred we do not do that because she has a great working relationship with the owners of the property, and they would work that out together,” said Seferian. Drainage Councilwoman Sandy Bihn asked if the elevation of the property was the same as adjoining properties and was concerned about drainage problems. “I do not know for sure the difference in elevation from their existing facility to the parking area,” said Gilmore. They will have to submit a full site plan. They’ll have to address the drainage problem. There could be a detention/retention area. We have not given full site plan approval.” Councilman Tim Zale asked how many trailers would be parking at the site. “Is this because of a business expansion that they need this room?” Beazley said the company had been “looking for some time at expanding the business.” “They concluded they could remain here if they had a place to park their trailers.,” said Beazley. Gilmore said plans call for 30 parking spaces.

Ohio bill promises universal health care A bill that would establish a single payer health care plan in Ohio that would universally cover medical, dental and vision services to residents has been introduced in the Ohio Legislature. State Reps. Teresa Fedor (D-Toledo) and Bernadine Kennedy Kent (D-Columbus) introduced the Ohio Health Security Act. Payments to health care providers for all eligible benefits would be made from a single public fund, called the Ohio Health Care Fund. “Even with the progress we’ve made, too many in Ohio are still struggling to get the care they need when they need it. It’s time for a change,” said Fedor. “Let’s face it. We all need healthcare at some point in our lives, and we shouldn’t have to mortgage our future to get it. Under the Ohio Health Security Act, every eligible Ohioan will be free to choose the plan and doctors that work best for their families without breaking the bank.” Concrete plan Under the plan, every Ohioan would receive full health care coverage, regardless of income or employment status, and choose their own health care providers for services such as outpatient services, prescription drugs, medical supplies and medical transportation without costly co-payments or deductibles. There would also be no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. Coverage from the Ohio Health Security Act would begin two years after the bill’s passage. “While Congress continues to cut backroom deals and pass secret bills that will only work to increase costs and cut benefits for hardworking Ohioans, we’re putting together a concrete plan to make care affordable and flexible to work for you and your family,” said Kennedy Kent. “Taxpayers deserve a plan that gives them a real choice and the freedom to pick a plan that works for them.” The new health care plans would be administered by the Ohio Health Care

The board will consist of two elected representatives from seven regions across the state and the director of the Ohio Health Care Agency. The board will: •Negotiate or set prices for health care services provided; •Establish standards to demonstrate proof of residency; •Provide each participating individual with identification that can be used by providers to establish eligibility for services; •Seek all necessary waivers, exemptions, agreements, or legislation to allow various federal and state health care payments to be made to the Ohio Health Care Agency; Recent studies have shown substantial savings associated with single-payer systems, which work to establish market power, thereby cutting red-tape, reducing overhead costs and implementing cost controls, according to the Single Payer Action Network (SPAN).

He expects the same fate with the Ohio Health Security Act, mostly because it would be too costly. “This has been around before,” Gardner told The Press last week. “The last time I looked at a previous single payer bill, it essentially doubled our general fund budget,” he said. He noted that Vermont, the only state in U.S. history to pass a bill for a single payer health care system in 2011, collapsed in 2014 due to a lack of funding. Other states, like California, considered passing a single payer health care plan, but efforts sputtered after it was determined it would cost $400 billion annually. And voters in Colorado last year overwhelmingly defeated a single payer health care measure on the ballot that would have been funded by a new 10 percent payroll tax. It would be no different in Ohio, said Gardner. There would be no way to fund such a program without massive tax increases. . “It would be, on its face, the largest government expenditure of any program in Ohio history,” he said. “People can make a judgment as to whether it would be a positive program or not, but it would obviously have an enormous impact. If people are looking at whether or not this bill has a chance of becoming law, I think it has probably the highest hurdle of any legislation introduced in the House or Senate in 20172018 session,” he said. Republicans control both the House and Senate in Ohio, with 66 Republicans and 33 Democrats in the House, and 24 Republicans and nine Democrats in the Senate. “There has been no consideration or debate in the Senate. Just like any bill, it will receive a hearing, there will be public discussions, and that’s the way it ought to be. Every legislator deserves to have their idea heard in a public committee hearing,” he said.

for the service, Hummer and Moritz have been analyzing similar-sized departments and the number of runs they complete in a year. “We’re basing our projections on what we’ve found in talking with billing agencies and other governmental agencies that do the volume that we’re doing. We feel that with this (new) levy and additional revenue from the old EMS levy and income from runs we should be able to very comfortably run this operation,” Hummer said. LifeStar has ended similar contract ambulance service agreements with other jurisdictions and also ended an emergency dispatching agreement with Lake Township. The township began contracting for dispatching service with the Wood County Sheriff’s Office in 2015. According to unofficial results, there were 1,693 votes cast in favor of the 1-mill EMS levy and 581 opposed. It received approval of 73 percent or higher in all of the township’s precincts except for Precinct 420 (Union) where it passed with 67 percent of the voters supporting it.

Levy aftermath The defeat of a ballot issue that would have raised tax revenues for the police department will be discussed this week by the safety committee of Genoa Village Council, Mayor Ken Harsanje said. The committee is scheduled to meet Nov. 20 to discuss options that can be presented to village council, he said. Voters narrowly defeated a 2-mill, 5-year levy on the Nov. 7 ballot that was earmarked for new equipment for the department such as bullet-proof vests, Tasers, handguns and rifles, body cameras and more as well as training. Much of the department’s equipment has become outdated, village officials said, and due to a loss of state and federal funding, replacing it will require local revenues.

50,000 FFA students show their respect, enthusiasm I recently found myself inescapably trapped in a traffic jam in Indianapolis. It wasn’t cars and trucks, but a sea of blue jackets that prevented me from moving. I was in a hurry to meet with some folks for an interview and was being temporarily delayed without any hope of moving. The reason: the National Anthem. I was riding up the escalator just outside of the arena prior to the start of a session. All of the televisions in the hallway featured a lone corduroy-clad FFA member singing a beautiful, respectful version of the National Anthem then switched to a picture of the flag. The escalator was packed with FFA members trying to get to their seats for the start of the session and everyone (to a person) stopped in the places they were standing with their hand over their heart, respectfully watching the flag on the multiple televisions in the vicinity. The problem, of course, was that the disrespectful escalator kept relentlessly hauling the students to the next floor where they began to pile up all around me in a mass of patriotic FFA members. By the time the song was done, quite a crowd had amassed and there were FFA members falling all over each other, but almost no words broke the respectful silence. At the other sessions, I was amazed every time more than 50,000 teenagers and their advisors in one arena stood in complete silence between the pauses in the national anthem. It happened over and over again. I’d purposefully listen during the pause after “banner ye-et wa-ave.” Every time. Silence. Amazing. Then, after “home of the brave” thunderous applause and cheers of USA, USA, USA erupted from every corner of the formerly quiet arena. Also amazing. As always it was a real pleasure to see so many talented, hard working FFA members from around Ohio get recognized at the highest levels of competition. For example, Chrysta Beck of Pettisville was the American Star in Agriscience winner. She has worked extensively with poultry for her project. “It is pretty amazing. It is a lot of work and it feels good to be here,” Beck said.

ture of the FFA. The rigor, the content and the curriculum have continued to grow. If we look in the fields of agriculture and how a tractor has changed, that is really how ag education has transformed. We are producing good students but the technology and the tools have changed.” Even Ohio FFA alumni were showcased at the event. Honorary American Degrees were presented to Leah Amstutz of Columbus, Karen Cooley of Williamsfield and Andrew Muntz of Columbus. Mark Schweitzer, VP of investor relations for ADM and Liberty-Benton FFA alum, was onstage at the National Convention in his role as the 2017 Chair for the National FFA Foundation Sponsors’ Board. “We had $25.8 million generated in the last year. It was raised by the Sponsors’ Board made up of companies all across North America and individual donors. It will go into scholarships, education, leadership programs, and some of it will filter back into the state organizations. Giving back to the students is the real goal,” Schweitzer said. “For me agriculture is a career. It is a passion. If you walk out of here and this is not contagious to you, you’d better look in the mirror because something is wrong. If the future is in their capable hands, I’m comfortable. These students are motivated. In my experience of attending many years of the National FFA Convention, Schweitzer is right. It is impossible to not feel better about our state, our nation and our future during a visit to the event, even if you have to endure an occasional traffic jam.

Jeff “Brick” Sosbe Northwood “Michigan. I think Ohio State has a better team this year but I can’t change my team! I hope Michigan will beat them.”

Ellis Rugh Oak Harbor “I’m betting on Ohio State. I guess because I’m an Ohioan. A transplant one but an Ohioan still.”

Last Week's Results Do you think the release of classiſed documents on the Kennedy assassination will reveal new information? 48% Yes. There is information that is embarrassing to our government. 26% No. Alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter. 26% Yes. It will show Oswald may not have acted alone.

Have faith in yourself, it’s essential for success Each person has their own belief system. Your faith is a very personal issue. An important question to ask is, do you have faith in yourself? Having faith in yourself is essential for self-confidence, achievement, problem solving, happiness, and success. Self-doubt is the opposite of faith in yourself. Self-doubt leads to fear, stress, apprehension, and frustration. In this mode you are deterred by criticism and ridicule. You are ready to abandon your plans at the first obstacle, or in the face of rejection. Self-doubt is caused by a lack of confidence, little or no encouragement while growing up, negative experiences, or a negative mindset. Self-doubt is your perception based on your attitude. Therefore, you have the ability to transform self-doubt into faith in yourself. Your self-concept, which is how you view yourself, determines how much faith you have in yourself. It is your self-concept which determines your reality. Your mind will not allow you to act in a manner contrary to your self-concept. For example, Bob is in college. Bob

Guest Editorial considers himself a “C” student. As long as Bob has this self-concept, he will be unable to perform academically at a higher level. Bob doesn’t have faith that he can become a better student. Bob’s lack of faith in himself limits how much he will achieve. In order to have faith in yourself, you require a positive self-concept. This is a can-do attitude instead of a can’t-do one. You are free to reorient your self-concept as of today. It doesn’t matter what’s happened in your past. What is important is what you want to happen today and in the future. So even though Bob has always thought of himself as a “C” student, he can immediately change his self-concept to being an “A” student any time he wants to.

This mental shift always precedes results. If Bob believes he is an “A” student, and puts in the effort required, he will become an “A” student. Once Bob has changed his self-concept, he is ready to have faith in himself. Positive results strengthen Bob’s faith in himself. Bob must be ready and willing to put in the effort necessary to become an “A” student. Bob has to attend all of his classes, pay attention, take notes, complete all of the assigned work, and study. If Bob needs help in his pursuit, every college has a wide array of academic support services available for its students. As Bob’s grades improve, his faith in himself will grow. As his faith becomes stronger, he will continue improving academically. This pattern becomes a positive self-reinforcing cycle. Faith produces positive results, which in turn strengthens Bob’s faith. Although Bob’s example is one of academic performance, the same principles apply to any aspect of your life. Having faith in yourself is a prerequisite to making

positive changes. Regardless of what aspect of your life you would like to improve, moving forward consistently with small, positive changes reinforces your faith. Having faith in yourself means being solution oriented. Sadly, too many people are problem oriented. In this state they find excuses for why they can’t solve problems. This creates a can’t-do self-concept. Your mind will not allow you to accomplish anything you believe is not possible. Start strengthening your faith in yourself by reorienting your self-concept to solution oriented, possibility thinking. Next, take the action necessary to generate concrete accomplishments. Pursue your own path. Ignore the critics and naysayers. Have faith in yourself that you will do what it takes to get where you want to go. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Author has seven gifts to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Every day is a gift: Like when you come home from a two-week vacation and your 20-month-old grandson is so happy to see you he runs to his treat stash, grabs two cookies, races to your usual seat on the couch where you’ve read him countless books, climbs up by himself, turns, sits and, with one cookie in each raised hand, smiles and nods at you to join him and share a moment; Every day is a gift: Like when you’re playing tennis with three other equally-matched players and the sets are close, the outcome uncertain, the effort all-out, the camaraderie evident in the banter and the verbal appreciation of a good get, good volley, good shot or good lob. There are no losers, only those who are ahead when you walk off the court to shake hands with those who will win the next time you play; Every day is a gift:

Parks in wrong hands To the editor: The proposed hike in National Park System fees raises the question of an alternative way to run our parks. Also, under the current administration, a temporary moratorium on leasing federal land for new coal mining operations is ending earlier than originally scheduled. A better solution is to allow native Americans to run our country’s parks and federal lands. Is there any group of people that has more respect and love for our natural wonders? It’s a win-win for the country and the native Americans. It takes them off the squalor, addiction, and poverty of the wretched reservations they live in today, and these lands are preserved for our country’s future generations. Paul Szymanowski Curtice Editor’s note: Under the NPS proposal, peak-season entrance fees would be es-

Page Two by John Szozda Like when your three adult children come over for a roast beef dinner along with their spouses and three grandchildren and the house fills with the smell of home cooking, the sounds of laughter, the pitter patter of two boys chasing each other, the shouts of grown men urging on the Lions and the joy of watching the newest addition to the family, a seven-month-old girl with inquisitive eyes, take it all in like a sponge; Every day is a gift: Like when you go to bed in the loneliness of the darkened room and you find your thoughts drifting aimlessly to your own mortality and the things done and

not done yet and then your spouse joins you under the covers, seeks your hand out, places her warm fingers around yours and assures you your journey through the night will not be a solitary one; Every day is a gift: Like when you invite three of your oldest, best friends over to play cards and you find the old stories still fun to relive, their new adventures interesting and their advice welcome. And you can still see, in their smiles, laughter and gleaming eyes, youth emerge from aging facial lines to trigger the memory of a time when the days were long, the to-do list short and the moment more important than the future; Every day is a gift: Like when you reflect on the 30-plus years managing a team and realize that team is in good hands and the mission of providing news, information and entertainment to the community is still important

and the Constitutional responsibility to report on and watchdog government is still at the center of that mission; Every day is a gift: Like when our large family gathers at my brother’s house for Thanksgiving dinner and we share a meal and conversation and set the example for our adult children and their children. And, after dinner, my brothers and sister will play our annual nickel-dime poker game, not because we are gamblers, but to remember how my father and his brothers and sisters played their annual poker game and shared their life’s stories. Hope you all find gifts to be thankful for this Thursday. Comment to zoz@presspublications.com

Healthy eating To the editor: I am a former farmer and as such I would like to offer tips for better

health. Buy local, buy organic. Three-fourths of your diet should be fruits and vegetables – mainly vegetables. Reduce your consumption of refined sugar, artificial sweeteners and corn syrup. You can use things like honey, dates, figs and carob powder instead. Drink more water and less soda. Eliminate bad habits like smoking and drinking. Try testing your fruits and vegetables with a refractometer to determine the amount of a sugar called Brix. Generally, the more sugar the fresher the fruit or vegetable is. Remember, it takes weeks of eating healthy before you start to feel it. Chris Dietrich

46th E. Toledo parade The 46th Annual East Toledo Christmas Parade will step off at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 2.

Parade organizers held a coloring contest for all area grade schools, with winners getting to ride on the Santa Workshop float. Other participants include an honor guard, high school bands, antique and classic vehicles, floats, sports teams and cheerleaders, local churches, businesses and nonprofits and, of course, Santa Claus. “The Annual East Toledo Christmas Parade is a tradition and a great way for the East Toledo community to come together,” said Parade Chairman Denny Fairchild. “There are groups that participate in the parade every year. Because of the businesses, schools, bands and elected officials that march each year, we have many people come out to watch.

“As chairman, I am amazed and thankful for the way everyone comes together to offer their help to make the parade a success every year,” he said. “Without those folks it would be very difficult for this parade to continue for as many years as it has. “I enjoy seeing many people that return year after year, the new groups that have joined and I am always looking for new groups,” Fairchild said. “I definitely hope this wonderful tradition continues for many years to come.” Anyone wishing to participate in the parade can call Denny Fairchild at 419693-9517.

All aboard! The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hayes Train Special,â&#x20AC;? a holiday tradition at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, opens Friday, Nov. 24. (Photo courtesy of HPLM) winter wonderland reminiscent of the days of President Hayes. Each year, model train enthusiasts help staff design a layout with different features for this 12-foot-by-24-foot display. Visitors can blow the train whistle, run the Ferris wheel, lower the crossing gates and more with interactive buttons. The display started when Dana Lamberjack, a high school student from Findlay, raised money to buy a train and track to put under a Christmas tree in the Hayes Home for her Children of the American Revolution project. In the following years, the train display moved to the museum. Lamberjackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisor, Marjorie Knight, and her husband, Gordon W. Knight, came from Columbus to set up the display and donated items to add to it. Gordon has since passed away, but the Knight family continues the tradition by co-sponsoring the exhibit with Croghan Colonial Bank. Admission to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hayes Train Specialâ&#x20AC;? is included in the price of a regular museum ticket. Members are admitted for free. At the end of the holiday season, visitors can get help and advice for sprucing up their model trains at the Model Train Clinic Jan. 6 from 1-4 p.m. Veteran model train hobbyists lead the clinic. Admission is $2 or free with the purchase of a regular museum ticket. HPLM is located at Spiegel Grove at

Cape-style log home among stops on Holiday Home Tour A 2,000-square-foot Cape-style log home owned by Helen and Dale Fisher will be among the eight sites featured on the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society’s Holiday Tour of Distinctive Homes Saturday, Dec. 2. The couple designed and completed the home, built in 1996 with logs from Country Log Homes, Ashley Falls, Massachusetts. The profile of the logs, which are handpeeled at the factory, is visible inside and outside the home. Front and back porches and a four-season room offer plenty of spaces to relax. Stairs wrap around the central brick chimney, which exits the great room ceiling 20 feet above. Massive timber rafters covered with pine tongue-and-grooved boards create the ceiling and floors. The soapstone wood stove heats the entire home, thanks to the thermal mass of the logs, which are lag bolted together and sealed to create an efficient and quiet home. The Fishers are avid collectors, and several of their treasures from the community are featured in the home, including a salvaged railing from the Lucas County Courthouse (circa the 1800s), which surrounds the open loft. In addition, a punched tin star that hung above the Santa at Tiedtke’s now shines from the chimney.

Old cabinets from the Clay High School annex greet visitors at the back door. Other tour highlights include: • Jessica and Dwain Haskell, 4840 S. Teal Lane, Oregon, a traditional home built in 2013; • Jackie and David Hill, a farmhouse dating back to the late 1850s, 3806 Pickle Rd., Oregon; • Cindy and Donald Hughes, 663 Sweetwater Dr., Oregon, a traditional home built in 2003; • April and Jared McKibben, 1105 S. Coy Rd., Oregon, a traditional farmhouse (circa 1860); • Linda Bench Rossler, 9855 Jerusalem Rd., Curtice, an American Foursquare house built in 1914; • Suzanne and Thomas Ulrich, 1040 N. Cousino Rd., Oregon, a log home built in 1989. Also on the tour will be a barn on the property of Dan Phillips, 1010 Bury Rd., Oregon. Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 on tour day. Only 270 tickets will be sold. Tours begin at Brandville School, 1133 Grasser St., Oregon, where maps and brochures will be distributed to ticketholders. Tour hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Call Connie Isbell at 419-693-2956 to reserve tickets.

Flu cases on the rise In light of an increase in influenza cases in Wood County, the Wood County Health Department is emphasizing the importance of flu shots, and providing prevention tips to help area residents stay healthy. Every flu season is different, and the flu can affect people differently. Millions of people get the flu each year, while hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized and thousands more die from flu-related causes. Flu season typically lasts until April or May. Now is a good time to get a flu shot if you haven’t already, because they take about two weeks to become effective, according to Alex Aspacher, community outreach coordinator, Wood County Health District. The flu vaccine does not cause influenza, which is a contagious respiratory illness that infects the nose, throat and lungs. Some people may experience short-term symptoms like drowsiness or nausea after receiving a flu shot. The CDC recommends that anyone over 6 months of age get a flu shot. Most people can get a flu shot simply at their pharmacy, and Wood County Health District offers them to patients of its Community Health and Wellness Center. Children over 6 months old should see their primary care provider first. Wood County Health District will give flu shots to children 18 or under if their provider does not offer them. Frequent handwashing is one of the best ways to avoid acquiring or transmitting any illness, 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. For more information about influenza, visit http://woodcountyhealth.org/nursing/ flu_faq.html. To establish care with the Wood County Community Health and Wellness Center, call 419-354-9049 or visit www.wchealthcenter.org for info.

Keep pets safe, stress-free during holiday celebrations By Dr. Michael Stone Oak Harbor Veterinary Hospital Thanksgiving is a special holiday that brings together family and friends, and more and more families are including pets in the festivities. While traveling, decorating and cooking for the perfect meal together, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remember to plan for our pets as much as for ourselves. When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to pack, pack for your pet as well if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to travel together. In addition to your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food and medications, bring medical records, information to help identify your pet if it becomes lost, first aid supplies, and a favorite toy. Dinnertime tips â&#x20AC;˘ Keep the feast on the table â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not under it. Eating turkey or turkey skin, sometimes even a small amount, can cause a

life-threatening condition in pets known as pancreatitis. Fatty foods are hard for animals to digest, and many foods that are healthy for people are poisonous to pets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including onions, raisins and grapes. If you want to share a Thanksgiving treat with your pet, make or buy a treat that is made just for them. â&#x20AC;˘ No pie or other desserts for your pooch. Chocolate can be harmful for pets, even though many dogs find it tempting and will sniff it out and eat it. The artificial sweetener called xylitol, commonly used in sugar-free baked goods, can be deadly if consumed by dogs or cats. Yeast dough can cause problems for pets, including painful gas and potentially dangerous bloating. â&#x20AC;˘ Put the trash away where your pets canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find it. A turkey carcass sitting out on the carving table or left in a trash container that is open or easily opened, could

be deadly to your family pet. Dispose of turkey carcasses and bones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and anything used to wrap or tie the meat, such as strings, bags and packaging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a covered, tightly secured trash bag placed in a closed trash container outdoors (or behind a closed, locked door). Holiday celebrations can also pose other challenges and dangers to family pets. â&#x20AC;˘ Visitors can upset your pets. Some pets are shy or excitable around new people or in crowds, and Thanksgiving often means many visitors at once and higher-than-usual noise and activity levels. If you know your dog or cat is nervous when people visit your home, put them in another room or a crate with a favorite toy. This will reduce the emotional stress on your pet. If your pet is particularly upset by houseguests, talk to your veterinarian about possible solutions to this common

problem. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch the exits. Even if your pets are comfortable around guests, make sure you watch them closely, especially when people are entering or leaving your home. While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re welcoming hungry guests and collecting coats, a four-legged family member may make a break for it out the door and become lost. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch your pets around festive decorations. Special holiday displays or candles are attractive to pets as well as people. Never leave a pet alone in an area with a lit candle; it could result in a fire. And pine cones, needles and other decorations can cause intestinal blockages or even perforate an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intestine.

Wedding planning oĹ&#x152;en begins moments aĹ&#x152;er couples get engaged. Once a ring is presented, a new chapter in a relaĆ&#x;onship is born. While couples remember the senĆ&#x;ments and the style of their engagements forever, the engagement ring serves as the lasĆ&#x;ng symbol of that momentous occasion. Choosing the right engagement ring is complicated. Such a decision involves knowing what a future spouse desires in a ring and balancing those desires with budget. Shopping for an engagement ring can be both nerve-wracking and exciĆ&#x;ng. But there are ways to make the process go as smoothly as possible. â&#x20AC;˘ Listen carefully anyĆ&#x;me jewelry is discussed. GeĆŤng an idea of which style of jewelry the love of your life prefers requires keeping your eyes and ears open anyĆ&#x;me jewelry is menĆ&#x;oned. Subtle hints may be dropped and pages to magazines may be folded back to provide a nudge in the right direcĆ&#x;on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also perfectly ÄŽne to ask for your future spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s input, parĆ&#x;cularly if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already spoken about marriage and know that an engagement is on the horizon. â&#x20AC;˘ Have a good idea on the shape of the stone. All gemstones need to be cut in parĆ&#x;cular ways so that they reĹ&#x2021;ect light and sparkle. Stones are also cut in speciÄŽc shapes that provide the overall form of the stone. These include round, princess, emerald, oval, marquise, and pear, among others. Many people have disĆ&#x;nct preferences when it comes to the shape of the ring. Keep in mind that some shapes are more common than others and some may be more expensive as well. â&#x20AC;˘ Know all the specs. Buying an engagement ring means being armed with a lot of knowledge. In addiĆ&#x;on to shape, there are the four Cs to consider. These refer to the stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cut, carat, clarity, and color, and will determine the ÄŽnancial value of the gemstone. Take some Ć&#x;me to learn about each of the four Cs so you can make a more informed decision when visiĆ&#x;ng the jeweler. â&#x20AC;˘ Shop around. Not all jewelers are the same, and you want to ÄŽnd one with whom you feel comfortable and believe you will get the best value for your money. Jewelers will oĹ&#x152;en do whatever is necessary to make their customers happy, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to ask for customizaĆ&#x;on. Engagement ring buyers may also want to consider gemstones other than diamonds. Buyers also must know their belovedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring size before buying the ring. When shoppers are prepared, the engagement ring-buying process is that much easier. While couples remember the senĆ&#x;ments and the style of their engagements forever, the engagement ring serves as the lasĆ&#x;ng symbol of that momentous occasion. Choosing the right engagement ring is complicated.

Beauty of early November a prelude to holiday season November has a quiet beauty as nature makes her inevitable transition from fall to winter. Harvest decorations festoon porches, yards, and doorways now – a sheaf of corn, pumpkins and gourds, and leaves or boughs. These are reminiscent of ancient fall festivals celebrating bountiful seasons of harvest. They remind us too of how much we have to be thankful for as we look forward to our celebration of Thanksgiving this month of November. November’s birthstone is the topaz. Its rich amber color is a perfect complement to the dramatic reds, russets, and gold of the fall season. First discovered on the Isle of Topazos in the Red Sea, the topaz has for centuries been highly prized for its beauty and the belief that it was a protector of health, a sound mind, happiness, and safety. The Romans called the topaz “the stone of strength” and the Roman emperor

Get Growing by J.K. DePeal

Hadrian, who vastly spread and prospered the Roman Empire, wore the topaz daily in a ring. But whatever its past, the topaz in color and legend is a beautiful token of the fall. Herbs and spices such as thyme, parsley and sage as well as cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger are such a part of cooking and are common seasonings often associated with our November holiday, Thanksgiving. Used as a seasoning in preparing Thanksgiving turkey and stuffing, deserts and side dishes these herbs and spices have been cultivated

for centuries and used for medicinal and culinary purposes. As culinary seasonings, they have a complementary taste and actually aid in digestion when added to various foods. When using herbs or spices in cooking, some handy guidelines can help ensure a more tasty outcome. • When deciding how much of an herb or spice to add to a recipe, remember that the amount will vary according to how fresh the seasoning is when used. Fresh herbs/spices will have the strongest flavor. • Cut back on the amount of herb/spice used in your recipe by three-quarters when using fresh herbs in the recipe rather than dried. • To freshen the flavor of dried herbs, soak them in 1 tsp. lemon juice for 10 minutes before using. • To enhance the flavor of herbs used in cooking, sauté them lightly in oil or but-

ter before using. • Add herbs/spices to a recipe at the same time as adding salt and pepper – try to add them during the last half hour of cooking to retain as much flavor as possible. • Crush the measured amount of fresh herb/spice in the palm of your hand with the heel of your other hand before adding them to your recipe. This action releases the full flavor of the seasoning. November garden tip: Finish planting bulbs, rake and add your fallen leaves to the compost pile, put away hoses and drain and winterize irrigation systems. It is also time to cut back roses and mulch or heap dirt around the base of the bush. Covering the base will keep it from the damaging freezing and thawing that can take place through the winter months. If you have garden questions or tips for gardeners, email dpl3@accesstoledo.com.

Same ole’ story — we’ve got some good soccer here 2017 Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Girls Soccer Team

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com It’s the same old story in girls soccer — this side of town kicks some good ole’ you-know-what. Out of nine schools in the Eastern Maumee Bay Community that sanction girls varsity soccer teams, three won league championships and all but two had winning records. So, when you try to create the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Girls Soccer Team, you find that you have a ton of players who are all-league, all-district or even all-state. Unless you have the coaches vote, which would narrow it down, you get a lot of players making the All-Press Team. That could be unfair to our community’s athletes, so we assign points based on who gets all-league, all-district and all-state and let the coaches’ voting on those ballots make a statement. It comes down to four players becoming All-Press Co-Players of the Year, plus one Goalkeeper of the Year and we are narrowing down to one Coach of the Year, although others are well-deserving. Clay coach Don Hess was the Three Rivers Athletic Conference Coach of the Year after leading his team to a 6-0-1 record in the league, totally upsetting the apple cart. Hess’ top forward, senior Hailey Clere, is Co-Player of the year after ending her career with 64 points, including 31 her senior year on 12 goals and seven assists. Hess says 10 of her goals were scored in big games. She will continue her career at NCAA Division I University of Akron. “Our team played its best when Hailey was healthy,” Hess said. “We had a few nagging injuries. Our season changed in a good way when we moved Hailey from the midfield to a forward striker position.” Clay sophomore Kennedy Slovak is

Jackson had two goals and six assists, was NBC POY from her defensive position and first team all-league, and first team all-district and her team’s MVP. Cardinal Stritch senior midfielder Olivia Hymore joins them as Co-POY. She was also Toledo Area Athletic Conference POY and was second in voting in the Northwest Ohio High School Soccer League behind Whitmer’s Morgan Henkle. She was also second team all-district. The Cardinals were 8-7-3, including 3-12 in the TAAC and 2-1-1 in the NWOHSSL, finishing as runner-up in both conferences. Hymore was a team captain who split her time between midfield and forward position, garnering 20 goals on 98 shots this year. She had one assist, 15 intercepts, 20 steals, and 28 corner kicks. For her career, she had 32 goals on 186 shots, 10 assists, 59 intercepts, 53 steals, and 49 corner kicks. “Olivia is very active on the field and will fill any role needed to support the team,” said Stritch coach Daniel Roggelin.

On Tuesday afternoon, the No. 1 ranked Owens Community College volleyball team left for Charleston, West Virginia ahead of the start to the NJCAA National Championship Tournament, which began Thursday. Owens enters the tournament at 37-0 and won the Ohio Community Athletic Conference championship at 16-0. A key member of the team is 5-foot-2 freshman defensive specialist Cassidy Wlodarz (Cardinal Stritch). Playing in all 37 matches, she has 102 sets, two kills, 13 attacks, an assist, 27 aces, and most important for a DS, she has 251 digs, averaging 2.46 per set. Wlodarz also has 29 points on the year. The Express advanced to this week’s tournament after sweeping through the district tournament two weekends ago. Owens defeated Kellogg Community College on November 2, and they beat Grand Rapids Community College, which was ranked third in the country, twice en route to the district championship. The Express are the No. 1 seed in the national tournament after finishing third a year ago. The third place finish was the highest finish for the program at the NJCAA Division II level. They also finished fourth in 2012. The team also finished in third place three times in the 1990s when the school was participating at the NJCAA D-III level. Owens first round game took place Thursday against Harcum Community College, which is the No. 16 seed in the tournament. Harcum went into the match with a record of 20-7. Should Owens be victorious in their first match, they would have played again later on Thursday evening.

Tight spot, but Rockets roll over Falcons

It appears as if this University of Toledo runner is in a bad spot, and he is, but senior Terry Swanson rushed for a career-high 192 yards and redshirt freshman Shakif Seymour tied a school record with five touchdowns as Toledo rolled to a 66-37 victory over Bowling Green in the Battle of I-75 in Bowling Green Wednesday night. It was the Rockets' eighth-consecutive win over BGSU and the most points Toledo has scored against its arch-rival since a 63-0 triumph in 1935. The victory put Toledo (9-2, 6-1 MAC) in position to earn its first trip in 13 years to the Mid-American Conference Championship Game. (Press photo by Alejandro Antonio Arriaga)

O’Quinn was a second-team All-Northern Buckeye Conference defensive end and honorable mention tight end this season for coach Mark Emans’ Flyers. “It will be an emotional day for me, very exciting,” said the 6-foot-5, 250-pound O’Quinn. “It’s the final chapter, going into my next chapter, if that makes sense.” O’Quinn said he’s dreamed about playing in college since he was in the fifth grade. “It didn’t matter which sport,” said O’Quinn, who also plays basketball and baseball at Lake, “but I wanted to play college ball somewhere.” He said he gave the UC coaches a verbal commitment when he and his mother, Sally, visited the school on Oct. 8. O’Quinn said he had originally given a verbal commitment to Western Michigan. “Cincinnati offered me in August,” O’Quinn said. “My mom and I had chosen to take a visit to Cincinnati (last month) and she loved it. She said it was a good decision to make. That night, I decided to commit to Cincinnati. I just fell in love with the place as soon as I was there.” The Bearcats, who were 3-7 and 1-5 in the American Athletic Conference heading into this weekend’s game at East Carolina, are led by first-year head coach Luke Fickell, the former longtime assistant at Ohio State. O’Quinn was recruited by Doug Phillips, who coaches UC’s tight ends. “He said he loved the way I played the game, my character, and my physicality,” O’Quinn said. “He made the most out of the recruiting (process) more than anybody else. He came to one of my games about two weeks after they offered me. He showed the most interest out of anyone.” O’Quinn said he’s been told he will be used more as a blocking tight end. He said the Bearcats have received a verbal commitment from a tight end from Cincinnati LaSalle, who is more of a pass catcher.

Lake senior Dylan O'Quinn. (Photo courtesy Inter-State Studio/Inter-State.com) O’Quinn said that was just fine with him. “I had a pretty solid senior year,” he said. “I didn’t get a lot of receptions this year, but I did very well blocking. I love blocking, just the physicality of it and putting people on the ground.” O’Quinn said he plans to major in either marketing or special education. Emans said “the sky’s the limit” for O’Quinn. “He’s got what everybody dreams of, and that is his size,” Emans said. “They’ll put 10-20 pounds on him in a heartbeat. He’s got a great work ethic. He has great blocking skills that he developed over last year, and he’s only going to get better. He was a real focused football player and a great leader this year, and I’m tickled to death for him and excited he’s going to have this opportunity.”

Eagles wouldn’t have gotten here without ‘Coal Miners’ By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Their contributions are identifiable only by their teammates and immediate family. The Coal Miners, as they are affectionately called by their Eastwood football teammates, are the 12 or so players who are partially responsible for getting the Eagles’ starters ready to play each week. These “scout team” players are the unsung heroes on every high school team. For the first time in school history, Eastwood football was 12-0 heading into their regional final game against Marion Pleasant Friday. A win meant the Eagles were on their way to the state final four. The scout team is a big reason for that. “We think the scout team is critical for our (starting) defense,” Eastwood coach Craig Rutherford said. “This is one of the best defenses in school history and we think one of the main reasons is the look they get (in practice) Monday through Thursday. “In the (eight) years I’ve been at Eastwood, this is best scout team we’ve ever had. This group really takes pride in getting the defense ready.” Rutherford said the name Coal Miners came from a speech given by Winston Churchill during World War II. “He was addressing the coal miners in Great Britain,” Rutherford said. “He basically told them they wouldn’t get the glory that the soldiers would get when they won the war, but it would be because of the work the coal miners did. We thought that was fitting for the scout team.” The primary scout team players are Reid Buchman, Brad Keyes, Austen Nissen, Logan Soltesz, Hunter McClish, Gage Might, Mason Glaze, Paul Smith, Ceyleon Damron, Brody Patterson, Anthony Witker and Jack Arman. Keyes, a 5-foot-9, 225-pound junior center, said the Miners’ full-pad practices against the first-team defense are usually hard-hitting and physical. “We always look forward to it,” said Keyes, who has played in a handful of games at center and is a blocker on the

(Press photo by Lee Welch/FamilyPhotoGroup.com) Eagles’ extra-point and field-goal teams. “I just like getting the hits in. Coach kind of put a little extra emphasis on (the scout team) this year. Starting week one, he realized we were a pretty good group. He didn’t want things to come easy for the guys who were starting. He called upon us to make sure the starters were ready to go.” The Coal Miners push the starters hard in practice, which is a big reason why Eastwood took a 12-0 record and the No. 1 ranking in the Division V into Friday’s regional finals against Marion Pleasant in Lima. Keyes said the Coal Miners get “a ton” of satisfaction out of seeing how well they’ve prepared the starters for that week’s opponent. He said it’s not unusual for the starters to tell the Coal Miners how much they are appreciated. “I know the guys that we’re going

against (in practice) are getting the job done,” Keyes said. “Every Friday night when we win, you get a sense of pride that those guys appreciate your work. I’ve had teammates come up to me after some tough (practice) weeks and said we played them better than some of our opposition did.” Keyes and the Coal Miners, including Nissen, a 6-foot, 230-pound sophomore tackle, welcome the challenge of blocking first-team All-Northern Buckeye Conference tackles Dalton Andrews and Seth Welch in practice. Nissen has played in all but one varsity game this season, on the extra-point and field-goal teams. “We work up to game speed as the week goes on,” Nissen said. “We try and get (the starters) ready as the week goes on for the game on Friday. It can be chaotic sometimes because we don’t know the other team’s plays and how they run things. We

have a playbook that the coaches print out, and they show it to us in the huddle and we learn that play. It’s fairly easy to learn. You get the hang of it after about a week.” Rutherford said the coaches install the next opponent’s offense on Monday, leaving nothing to chance as far as preparation. “Everything from their cadence to how they break the huddle to where they line up on the field,” he said. “The more details we can give our defense, the faster and better we think our first-team defense will play on Friday nights.” The Coal Miners are given first dibs during the Eagles’ team feeds “as a way to recognize the work they have put in during the week,” Rutherford said. The scout team’s quarterback is volunteer assistant coach Blake Kohring, a former backup quarterback at Eastwood who ran the hurdles at Liberty University. Kohring impersonates the opposing team’s quarterback each week. “He’s really athletic and he knows how to play quarterback,” Rutherford said. “Our backup quarterback (Gavin Slattman) is our starting corner and we couldn’t use him on the scout team, so coach Kohring filled in.” Several players have earned playing time on Friday nights due to their effort on the scout team. Buchman has played guard in several games, Patterson has played tight end and Damron is the team’s fourth-leading rusher. “Ceyleon wasn’t on our two-deep roster at the beginning of the year,” Rutherford said. “Against Rossford, we needed somebody to go in on kickoff and we put Mason Glaze in. He got a tackle his first time out there. The reason we thought he could do it was because of his effort in practice. “Paul Smith always mimics the other team’s best receiver. Gage Might is always the other team’s best running back. He’s one of the toughest kids we have. He’s big and strong and athletic. He’s just a freshman, but he runs the ball hard.” The Coal Miners are Eastwood’s unsung heroes, just like the miners during WW II. “I’m having fun,” Nissen said. “We really take pride in getting the team ready for Friday nights. We give them the best look we can during the week so we can go out and take care of business as we should.”

Central Catholic receiver Jase Bowen dives for a touchdown catch in the Fighting Irish’s win over visiting Detroit Martin Luther King. (Press photo by Scott Grau)

Bowen, Schiets, Parker continue key roles for Irish By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com If you’re a football fan and you want to watch one of those “did-he-just-dothat?” players, look no further than Central Catholic’s Jase Bowen. Anyone who’s attended more than one of the Irish’s games this season knows Bowen wears No. 4, and he’s all over the field. The junior from Millbury plays quarterback when Central utilizes its “wildcat” formation, and he’s also the team’s leading receiver. He returns punts and kickoffs and is the team’s punter, averaging 37.7 yards on 46 kicks. In short, Bowen is the player any coach would want in his program. “He’s just a great kid,” Central coach Greg Dempsey said, “and you’re always looking for good kids to make your program better. He’s a great student (4.8 GPA) and a great athlete and competitor. He’s going to give you everything he has every week. He is definitely one of the top players in our league in terms of what he does versatilitywise in all phases of the game.” Bowen is one of three players from The Press coverage area who start for Central Catholic. Justin Schiets, an inside linebacker, and safety Andrew Parker are both juniors from Woodville. Through 12 games, Bowen had 54 carries for 419 yards (7.8 average) and seven touchdowns for the Irish, who entered Friday’s Division III regional final playoff game against Bay High (Bay Village) with a 10-2 record. He has 13 catches for 351 yards and four touchdowns, and he is third on the team with 66 points. He has four kickoff returns for 45 yards and has returned 16 punts for an 10.4-yard average. College coaches have noticed Bowen’s talent. Dempsey said recruiters from the University of Toledo and the University of Minnesota have shown interest, but Bowen has already given a verbal commitment to play baseball at Notre Dame. Yes, the one in South Bend. Bowen, however, said he’s keeping an open mind about his future. “I wouldn’t mind playing football in college,” he said. “That would be really nice. I’m hoping Notre Dame will let me do both. I talked to (assistant head coach) Mike Elston and I visited the football program back in September and I had a great time. We’ll see how that goes.” Asked if he likes baseball better than football, Bowen said “it depends on the season.” “When it’s baseball season, it’s all baseball,” he said. “When it’s football season, all football.” While Bowen’s versatility has been utilized to the fullest by the Central coaching staff, Bowen has still never lined up at running back, cornerback or linebacker. He doesn’t plan to play any of those positions anytime soon. “I’m pretty content with my positions right now,” he said. “I just have to do a good job and take advantage of where they put me. I probably play in the ‘wildcat’ about 10 times a game. I like it. I like the

ball in my hands and reading the holes. It feels pretty good.” St. John’s did a good job stopping Bowen on their final regular season game, holding him to 27 yards on 10 carries. Bowen scored on a 1-yard run in the first half, but the Irish lost the game, 13-6, to fall to 5-2 in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. Bowen left the game in the third quarter after suffering a concussion when he was tackled on a fake punt. He said he’d been cleared to play in the playoffs. “I went to the doctor and I had no symptoms,” Bowen said, adding that the Irish are motivated in the playoffs after losing their bid to claim their fifth straight TRAC title. “That was one of our goals before the season started and we didn’t accomplish that,” Bowen said. “We have to move forward, and our goal is a state championship. That’s the motivation for us every day.” He now is responsible for 770 yards of total offense, averaging 64.2 per game, which is third on the team behind backs Devon Rivers (1,315) and Troy Durden (1,159). Schiets/Parker Schiets is Central’s third-leading tackler, with 83 stops including 39 primary tackles, 24 assists, 12 tackles for a loss, seven sacks, a forced fumble, interception, and defensive touchdown. Dempsey said Schiets has been playing “phenomenal.” Schiets and his family say they have made visits to Cincinnati, Ohio University and Eastern Michigan, and he has invitations from Ball State, Akron and Youngstown State as well. “We have two senior defensive linemen getting a lot of publicity, and we have an outside linebacker committed to Miami of Ohio,” Dempsey said. “Other coaches always mention Justin, because they know he’s having a great season and he’s an anchor in the middle of our defense. He’s a man in the middle. “He is tough at anchoring down that inside run game, and when (teams) do pass, he spots the quarterback and blitzes off the edge really well. He’s having a great season and playing like one of the best linebackers in the league. That’s saying a lot with the guys we’re comparing him to.” Schiets had a monster game against Cleveland Glenville in round one of the playoffs with eight tackles, including three sacks, four tackles for a loss and a 33yard interception return for a touchdown. Schiets and the Fighting Irish defense shut out the Tarblooders’ offense on their way to a 28-0 victory, and then took down playoff rival Clyde, 45-27, in a regional semifinal. Parker leads all Irish defensive backs with 71 tackles, including two tackles for loss, two sacks, three pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and he blocked a punt. Parker has played both safety positions. “He’s had a really good season,” Dempsey said. “He can play three or four positions with his football savvy and brains. He’s one of the guys who brings energy to the defense. He brings a swagger and confidence and he loves playing the game. He’s a complete defensive back.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Being a Prophet A prophet is someone who hears the voice of God and tells others what God is saying, with words and deeds. The prophet is frequently a social critic, because society frequently goes against what God would have us do. The prophet often gives very simple and straightforward directives, like this statement from the prophet Micah: “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8 NIV) The prophet sometimes gives more specific directives, such as warning us about our treatment of the poor or the widows and orphans in our

Genoa

midst: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” ( James 1:27 NIV) We are all called to be prophets, in our words and in our deeds. One of the hallmarks of the Biblical prophets was that their words were invariably in harmony with their deeds, and their deeds were often symbolic prophesies. “Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.” —James 2:18 NIV
