Growers group

Produce project becomes success story By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An expansion project by the Maumee Valley Growers Association into supplying produce for the wholesale market has been a success and will continue, says Joe Perlaky, MVGA executive director. The non-profit association received a grant two years ago of $100,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that enabled it to function as what Perlaky calls a “value chain coordinator” and offer about 20 association members the chance to pool their resources. “This is great news for our farming community and surrounding region,” he said. “This program offers sales venues not normally available to small farmers. This will be on-going and we’re building on it.” In the 14 years or so since its inception, the MVGA’s focus has been on flowers. But when “buy local” food programs became more popular, association members saw an opportunity to expand into produce markets. The grant was used to partner with Azoti, a Columbus-based software company that also provided staffing with connections to chefs statewide, and with Sirna and Sons Produce, Ravenna, O., for logistical assistance. “We found that our niche was small farmers. Those with gross annual receipts of less than $100,000. Most are in the $25,000 range. These are the same farmers that are

After the demolition this summer of a mixed-use building in downtown Port Clinton, the Ottawa County Land Bank is focusing its attention on structures in other parts of the county, JoEllen Regal, president of the land bank’s board of directors, said last week. Regal said the Port Clinton property included apartments and commercial space but hadn’t been in use for years and had become a safety hazard. The land bank owns eight other properties, including structures in the Genoa and Oak Harbor areas, and some may be demolished by early next month. Bids for contracts to remove asbestos and the demolition have been advertised. Demolition includes removal of the structures, foundations and basements, Regal said, and the land bank will also contract for lawn maintenance and removal of diseased trees where needed. Any recyclable materials found during the inspection of the houses will be donated to non-profit organizations. All properties obtained by the land bank were delinquent on property taxes. Funding for the demolitions is coming from a $500,000 grant from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency through its Neighborhood Initiative Program. The goal is to stabilize property values by removing and then “greening” vacant and blighted properties in targeted areas in an effort to prevent future foreclosures for existing homeowners, according to the OHFA website. In Ohio, 31 percent of homeowners with loans owe at least 125 percent more than their estimated home value. Regal said the NIP grant includes restrictions that require the land bank to own demolished properties for three years. Once that requirement is met, the properties can be sold. Once purchased, the new owner can build a new house or adjoining property owners can but the land and split

involved in our floriculture program but they could never compete with large farms because they didn’t have the volume and variety of produce for the wholesale market. “It’s important to note this grant isn’t being used to sell directly to customers, there is no retail involved. We’re not competing with farmers markets or selling to grocery stores. The purpose is to allow small farmers, working together, to carry enough volume and variety of food to compete in the wholesale market,” Perlaky said. “The point is to create wealth for the small farmer.” Small growers who aren’t members of the association also were allowed to participate in the program. The MVGA functions as a clearing house so the farmers could pool their resources to be more competitive at the wholesale level. The software developed by Azoti allows buyers to see what produce is available from each grower at any time of the day.

“We have 51 chefs who we’re working with. Most are from outside the area,” Perlaky said. “Having enough farmers and enough chefs gives you the diversity to work the software system online. It’s very convenient.” In the first year of the program, the growers sold about $10,000 worth of produce. By the second year, sales reached about $50,000. “All types of leafy greens are some of the chefs’ favorite categories. And we can’t seem to keep enough cherry tomatoes and strawberries in stock. These items are grown nearly year round in our green houses. That makes us somewhat unique as a produce provider in the northern states,” Perlaky said. Growers harvest the pre-sold produce and transport it to a drop point at Hoen’s Greenhouse in Springfield Township. The MVGA then labels it and ships it to the distributor. With the farmers only harvesting what has been ordered, there is less waste and the distributor only has to deal with the association rather than many farmers. “We provide the service for the distributor which generally doesn’t want to deal with small farmers. It’s a lot of management with many variables. We’re almost like a food broker, connecting small farmers with the buyers, who are typically chefs,” Perlaky said. In all, the MVGA includes more than 70 growers.

Cruising the Maumee River for clean water

Partners for Clean Streams and Lucas Soil & Water Conservation District, with funding from the Maumee Area of Concern Advisory Committee, co-hosted a water quality boat cruise on the Sandpiper Boat August 5. While cruising the Maumee River, passengers got a chance to ask local water quality professionals questions regarding the current and future state of our waterways. Also during the cruise, passengers were asked trivia questions about our water resources (top photo). Speakers from left to right are Cheryl Rice, USDA, Natural Resources Conservation District; Paul Bockstahler, engineer at City of Toledo; and Jamie Kochensparger, Education Specialist at Lucas County Soil & Water Conservation District.

Oregon City Council on Monday will consider approving a $291,270 contract with Deitering Landscaping, Inc., of Leipsic, Ohio, to provide labor and materials for the city’s 2017 tree planting project. Plans call for the installation of both coniferous and deciduous trees in designated areas throughout the city to provide residential screening and environmental benefits. “We’ve really talked for over a year now about a tree screening program,” City Administrator Mike Beazley said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. “This is the first major bid portion of it. We took some minor steps last year.” The objective of the three-year phased project, he said, “is to allow our industrial areas to more peacefully co-exist with the rest of our community.” Among the proposed planting areas include some commercial sites along Navarre Avenue. “We’re kind of waiting until we get through with some of our development plans there. But we think we can integrate that into some of the spaces that separate the properties on the north side of Navarre with some of our commercial areas as well,” said Beazley. The city is adding evergreens in the area of the Oregon Flood Relief project on Wynn Road, where the project started, to help achieve screening, said Beazley. Other proposed tree planting areas include a city owned lot at the corner of Wynn and Cedar Point Road. “It would help to define and separate our space as you look toward our industrial areas,” he said. “We thought we could do a planting along the new Cedar Point Road. We could easily do a planting along that road to make that a more attractive separation. It’s probably the least necessary because we don’t have a residential space there,” he said. “Some of these we included because we thought these were areas that would be easiest to accomplish this year in terms of right-of-way access easements.

Another option is for the properties to be developed into community gardens or green spaces. “The properties we acquire with the grant have to be delinquent in taxes and abandoned and blighted,” Regal said. Ottawa County established the land bank in April 2016. The acquisition and demolition of properties is administered by the county’s regional planning commission.

a couple of little challenges out there but we’re on a reasonable path to accomplish it.” “There are some places where we’re still in negotiating for right-of-way and easements. They could be delayed until next year,” he said. Costs associated with the project will be reimbursed by the project’s industrial partners, said Beazley. “This is great that we’re doing this because it’s in our industrial area and we’ll be reimbursed,” said Councilwoman Sandy Bihn. “I think it’s a great project. But I don’t know how much we do for neighborhoods in town, and how we’re looking at screenings, or plantings, or landscaping or parks – anything that can help us sustain our neighborhoods. I’m not sure we focus enough on that. I’m not even sure who is responsible for that. But at least I’d like to go in that direction at some point and take a look at it and see what other places are doing to help their neighborhoods.”

Oregon looks at extending improvements By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Navarre Avenue Safety Improvement project, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year, could extend further east in the future, say officials. The $5 million project, which will reduce traffic crashes and improve safety upon completion, involves implementing various safety and aesthetic improvements along Navarre, between I-280 and Isaac Streets Drive. Public Service Director Paul Roman said the project could extend beyond Isaac Streets Drive if businesses are pleased with the project. “It’s hard to say how the Navarre Avenue stakeholders will take in this project,” Roman said at a recent council meeting. “I think they’re going to like it. I think everyone is going to realize it’s a lot safer, and it’s going to be attractive. There probably will be an interest in extending it further east. As of right now, I just want to play it by ear. I think it is something we should look into, though, because I think it’s going to be more attractive.” The improvements between I-280 and Isaac Streets Drive include the construction of seven U-turns, a median along Navarre, with bump-out and median openings to accommodate U-turns and emergency access. The project includes a public access road between Wheeling Street and Navarre, located northeast of the intersection, with right-in and right-out access to Navarre Avenue to serve businesses and provide emergency vehicles access. The project also includes upgrading traffic signals, the addition of a second left turn lane for southbound Wheeling Street, resurfacing to improve pavement skid resistance, waterline replacement, decorative lights in the median, and other related work. The city received grant funding from the Federal Highway Administration through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the project. The city is paying for the waterline replacement and the decorative lights. Fear factor Mayor Mike Seferian said some stakeholders, or businesses, along Navarre have raised concerns about the project. “One of the very big concerns of the stakeholders on Navarre was the turnaround lanes and the boulevard. There was a fear factor thinking it would be detrimental to businesses. Businesses are really concerned. It’s their livelihood. I think it’s fear of the unknown,” said Seferian. “So as this project gets done, and if it works the way we hope it will work, I think it will relax the minds of the people there.” He said he has traveled often to businesses along Navarre and found it nearly impossible to exit back onto Navarre due to congested traffic. “I find it very difficult to cross traffic.

At different times, I’ve had to make a right turn and go around the block because you just can’t get out,” he said. Councilwoman Sandy Bihn agreed. “Sometimes people don’t go to a business because of the difficulty getting in and out,” she said. “So the loss of business is a factor that we probably don’t measure well.” She said she became a fan of U-turns after seeing them in Michigan where her daughter lived. “It took me a while to get used to it. At first, I was extremely annoyed. But after I got used to it, it was safer and easier. And I didn’t select where I was going based on whether I could cross the road or not,” she said. Once businesses realize that, added Seferian, it will be easier to extend the improvements further east.

“If it works the way we envision it to work, and it’s designed to work, it would be more welcome,” he said. Once the project is completed, and there’s less anxiety, “we’ll proceed with whatever type of funding we can attract.” City Administrator Mike Beazley said last week that extending the project further east would end at Coy Road. “We will look at the accident data and see if we can leverage some state dollars to make changes all the way up to Coy. If we can’t get the partnership with the state, we will look at local dollars,” said Beazley. But we want to get the first project done and see how the community embraces it. And while we’re doing that, we will be looking hard at possible state funding for a project between Isaac Streets and Coy.”

Phillips to speak The Erie Shores Council of the Boy Scouts of America will welcome Captain Richard Phillips as their keynote speaker at their Dinner Under the Crescent Moon on Thursday, Oct. 5 from 6-9 p.m. at the Toledo Museum of Art’s Glass Pavilion. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. For five days in April 2009, Captain Phillips became the center of an international drama when he was captured by Somali pirates who hijacked his ship – the first hijacking of a U.S. ship in more than 200 years. Phillips will discuss his experience and rescue after five days of capture, which was recently recounted in the movie, “Captain Phillips” starring Tom Hanks and in Phillips’ book, “A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea.” “We are very proud to be celebrating 100 years of leadership development at Camp Miakonda,” said Edward Caldwell, Scout Executive and CEO. “Our ‘Dinner Under the Crescent Moon’ is the grand finale in a yearlong celebration of Camp Miakonda’s 100th anniversary.” Tickets for the dinner are $250 per person.

On the search for bee venom By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Like an annual rite of late summer, Russell Lamp, owner of Integrated Pest Control, is once again looking for the nests of bald-faced hornets. The entomologist is offering to collect nests of the hornets and yellow jackets for free - if they’ve not been sprayed - for the insects’ venom, which he provides to three laboratories. He expects to look for the nests for the next few weeks. Bald-faced hornets can be found in both wooded and urban areas. Queens start a new nest each spring after the weather warms in late April or May. The hornets usually grow to oneinch and have a distinct color pattern – the head, thorax, abdomen, and antennae are black and white. Wings are smoky. Nests are made by chewing up strips of wood and mixing it with sticky saliva and can be larger than a basketball. “Sometimes they look like a piĂąata hanging from a tree but I don’t advise hitting them with a stick,â€? Lamp said. By early September, he’ll also be looking for mature nests of yellow jackets, which are often found in ground. An active nest will usually have about 100 yellow jackets entering or leaving it in one minute. They often scavenge for human food such as carbonated beverages and ripe fruit and vegetables. Lamp describes yellow jackets as aggressive and capable of stinging repeatedly. To contact him - he’s prone to say give him a buzz - call 419-836-3710.

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Ohio State Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate a fatal crash involving a pedestrian on State Route 2 in Jerusalem Township that occurred around 10:45 p.m. on Aug. 7. “Right now, we’re still investigating everything related to the accident,� Lt. S.J. Robinson, of the Toledo post of the state highway patrol, told The Press last week. Courtney P. Gibbons, 27, of Plymouth, Michigan, was driving a 2011 green Ford Focus, westbound on State Route 2, milepost 33, when she pulled off the side of the road for an unknown reason and began walking westbound on State Route 2, according to the highway patrol. Tricia L. Michael, 46, of Oak Harbor, was driving a 2015 white Dodge Challenger eastbound on State Route 2 milepost 33, when her vehicle’s driver side mirror struck Gibbons.

“She said Gibbons was in the middle of the road, she saw her at the last minute and swerved,� said Robinson. Gibbons continued to walk westbound in the middle of the road after she was struck. A 2017 white Freightliner commercial truck, driven by Christopher O.

The condition of the roadway was not a contributing factor, he said. “It was a very clear night,� he said. “The roadway was dry.� “It was dark out, there are no streetlights out there,� he added. Michael and Hughes were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. Gibbons was not wearing any reflective clothing, according to Robinson. No charges have been filed at this time, and the crash remains under investigation, according to Robinson. “Our crash reconstruction unit will go out and look at the evidence, and put together a report. We still have to look at the truck and piece together some information, and get some statements from the drivers,� he said. “The investigation could take a while – at least a couple of months, if not a little bit longer.�

Floyd finally speaks, after more than 12,000 miles Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on June 4 to resume his bicycle ride around the perimeter of the United States in an effort to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children. Here is an excerpt from his blog, which you can follow by going to presspublications.com and clicking on the icon on the upper right corner. Greetings Humans — It’s me…Floyd —you know…the Bike. Al wanted me to do one of these closeto-the-end updates. I don’t know – maybe he’s running out of words, or maybe he thinks you might like to hear from me. Anyway, I guess this journey is really winding down – and it’s been quite a ride. So many miles – more than 12,000 now – and so many memories. It feels as though my wheels have been spinning forever. That jaunt down the East Coast seems like a long time ago now. I learned so much history along the way – Al likes to stop at all those historical sites – yawn...well, not really. Don’t tell Al, but I was pretty fascinated by some of those places – Lexington and Concord, Washington, D.C., Fredericksburg Battlefield, the Alamo, the place where that Indian girl Sacagawea lived – geez, I can’t remember them all. And it was fun visiting all those Habitat for Humanity job sites. So much activity going on with a lot of enthusiastic people running all over the place, carrying things, pounding on things, lifting things. Glad I could just sit there and watch Al swing a hammer – don’t think I would have been too good at that. That ride through the southern states during the winter wasn’t as warm as I thought it would be – there were some darned cold mornings out there – especially that huge place called Texas. Al said it was supposed to be warmer, but it sure did take a while for my wheels to warm up on some of those cold mornings. One memory that will always be with me is that whack-a-mole job the lady did

I've been everywhere man, says Floyd. (Photo courtesy of Al Thompson) on me in the Mohave Desert. Holy spokes! I never thought I would recover from that. I remember flying through the air, and landing on my front wheel, and all my spokes going this way and that...but don’t remember much after that. I did get a week-long rest out of it in Lake Havasu City...and there was that nice fellow who paid for my entire repair bill, but wouldn’t tell us who he was – he did tell us he was a disabled veteran. I seem to be a source of endless fascination for people who happen by – they’re always stopping to give me the once over... and then the twice and thrice over. They like to check out all the cool stuff hanging off me, and they’re always reading the sign on my butt that tells them what I’m doing and where I’ve been. Sometimes they even

leave money stuffed in my handle bar bag. But Al prefers that they visit his website, and leave some money there for one of the charities he’s riding for. Al and I have met so many kind and interesting folks along the way. Some of them are called Warm Showers hosts, and some are old friends, or people we just meet along the way, and we get to stay in their homes. Well, at least Al does – seems like he always gets the bed. I usually end up in the garage. But there have been some very nice garages. Don’t tell Al this, but some of those garages have a fridge with beer in it. But I won’t say any more about that – I don’t want to get in trouble. That West Coast was really something.

ery gear he could find in my combination of gears to climb those coastal hills. And the wind – wow. Seems like it was always slowing me down. But I really liked seeing the ocean and that dramatic coastline. I don’t know which was more difficult for me – that Pacific Coast or the Rocky Mountains. They were both so challenging. But gosh, I’ve never seen such spectacular scenery. So many ups and downs. It seems like it was either one or the other. And I thought it would be a relief once we made it out onto those Great Plains. But you know what – those Great Plains aren’t really flat at all. And man, you can just see forever out there. That long and beautiful river we just got done following sure was something. They call it “The Father of Waters,” and I can see why! I hope you guys didn’t get tired of seeing me – seems like Al was always taking my photo. Guess he felt like if he couldn’t be in it, then I should be in it. But he was always taking a photo of my bad side – yes, even we bikes have our good and bad sides. I hope I’ve lived up to my namesake, Charles Floyd, and I hope I would have done him proud. Al is always praising me, but sometimes he cusses at me too, like when my rear tire goes flat, or my gears start to miss. But I think he’s proud of me and the job I’ve done carrying him all these miles. Al said that a very important man by the name of William Clark was the commander of Charles Floyd a long time ago, and when the young man died, William said of Charles Floyd, “He was a man of much merit.” I heard Al say the other day that I’m also a Bicycle of Much Merit. And that made me feel pretty good! So, the end is in sight - just a couple hundred more miles to go. Looking forward to being back home in my own garage – and just snoozing most of the day. Al wanted me to say to you all that we hope you have enjoyed the ride, and to let you all know that...we are Proceeding On.

That said, I have reached my wits end with “Obamacare.” I tend to get sick once a year. That sickness (sinus infection) normally results in a $54 doctor visit and a $36 dollar prescription for a “Z-pack” (antibiotic). However due to the ACA, I am being forced to spend $2,500 dollars a year in order to comply with the government mandated health insurance. Furthermore, by declining to partake in this absurd demand being forced onto me; as a citizen of a so-called free country I am required to pay a penalty of $700 that is taken out of my tax return. In my eyes, Obamacare is lightweight robbery and the fact Democrats are

Being a life-long Democratic voter, I can officially state, I will never vote for a Democrat ever again. The jig is up and I think it is about time Washington D.C. be held accountable for its terrible policies. Regardless of the mainstream media bias, the American people are no longer naive to the failure of those elected to public office. Brandon Joseph Barber Oregon

Bay Park Clinic helps patients manage COPD By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com A new Pulmonary Clinic at ProMedica Bay Park Hospital is helping patients with COPD and respiratory disorders manage their conditions to promote improved quality of life and reduced hospital admissions. The clinic, which opened in February, is ProMedica’s fourth clinic – the others are at ProMedica Toledo and Flower hospitals and ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital in Michigan. “We looked at COPD admission rates for the system and we rolled the clinic openings based on that,” said Annette Greenhagen, administrative director for respiratory services for ProMedica. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung disease that restrict air flow and cause trouble breathing such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COPD is the thirdleading cause of death in the United States. An estimated 15 million American suffer from COPD. Tobacco use is the primary cause of COPD. Air pollutants, occupational conditions, aging and genetics are also linked to the disease. COPD causes increasing breathlessness, coughing and mucous production. Over time, it can limit ability to perform normal daily activities. Respiratory therapist Phil Mitten, program coordinator for the Pulmonary Disease Management Program at ProMedica, sees patients at the Bay Park clinic. “The program typically starts on the inpatient side, but physicians can refer patients to the clinic as well,” he said. “Patients may also call the clinic themselves to see if they may benefit from services.” Most patients see Mitten once or twice, typically within 14 days after discharge from the hospital. “When they come in, the first thing I like to do is go over what COPD is, so pa-

tients know exactly what caused their disease and how a physician diagnosed it,” he said. “We found that oftentimes, patients just don’t have enough information or don’t understand it well. “Then we talk about what is happening physiologically inside his or her body and what we might do to offset those effects of the disease,” Mitten said. “I also conduct a full respiratory assessment, listening to breath sounds, checking oxygen in their blood, going through a questionnaire to help determine severity of the patient’s condition,” Mitten said. “We go over a number of things – discussing smoking cessation is very important if the patient smokes; and proper use of medications – what the physician has prescribed, how to properly take the medications, etc. “Many patients are unclear on that,” Greenhagen said. “Research shows that 80 percent of people who have inhalers use them incorrectly.” “Sometimes they aren’t taking medications because they may be having side effects or other concerns, and I can call the doctor to discuss substitutes or get other suggestions,” Mitten said. “We also go over the mechanics of some breathing techniques that can reduce shortness of breath,” he said. “For example, we discuss recognizing symptoms and the importance of taking action before they get to a point where they’re so short of breath that they can’t walk across a room. “In addition to working with the patient’s primary care physician or pulmonologist, we also assess if the patient may need additional services, such as social services, a nutritionist or possibly pulmonary rehab, and then we connect them with those services,” Mitten said. “The goal is to come up with an action plan to help patients self-manage – to put the big picture together so they feel better and stay out of the hospital.” For more information about the Pulmonary Clinic at Bay Park Hospital, call 419-690-7855.

Get accurate diagnosis before starting arthritis treatments By Cheryl Lampkowski-Sowle Administrator, Heartland of Perrysburg Arthritis is a disorder of the joints that cause pain, inflammation and reduced mobility in the affected areas. This disorder can be limited to just one joint or can affect numerous joints throughout the body. Arthritis is the general “umbrella” term for more than 100 associated joint disorders. Because there are so many different forms of arthritis, it is important to get an accurate diagnosis from your physician before moving forward with any form of physical or medical therapy.

Signs and symptoms – Although there are more than 100 forms of arthritis, there are general signs and symptoms that occur in most of them. These symptoms include joint pain, swelling around the joints, stiffness of one or more joints (especially in the morning), redness on the skin around the affected joint, heat or warmness in the joint, general fatigue (in certain types). Treatment – Treatment depends heavily on the type of arthritis you have and the severity of it. Some causes of the disorder are not curable. In cases such as this, the treatments would be highly focused on pain management and limiting the progres-

Make sure to consult your physician before starting an acetaminophen regimen, so you can decide what the correct dosage is for you. There are also other over-thecounter drugs that could help including aspirin and ibuprofen. Ask your doctor if these are right for you or if there are any prescription drugs that would be more appropriate for your specific type of arthritis.

Summer vacation from school is almost over and that means it’s time for parents to begin thinking about backto-school season. Along with the back-to-school necessities the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) wants to remind parents to make sure their kids are up-to-date on their vaccines against diseases. To emphasize the importance of vaccinations, and to make sure that children are protected with all the immunizations they need, ODH is partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in recognizing August as National Immunization Awareness Month. “When parents are thinking about their back-to-school checklists, vaccines should be at the top of the list,” said ODH State Epidemiologist and Bureau Chief of Infectious Diseases Sietske de Fijter. “Getting children all of the vaccines recommended by CDC’s immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children’s health as well as the health of classmates and the community.” Unvaccinated children are at an increased risk for contracting vaccinepreventable diseases like measles, mumps and rubella. They also may spread diseases, like pertussis, which are serious or potentially life-threatening for high-risk individuals such as infants who are too young to be fully vaccinated and others who have weakened immune systems. “If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to check with your doctor to find out what vaccines your child needs, and when,” said de Fijter. This fall will be the second school year that the new meningococcal vaccine requirement is in effect under Ohio Revised Code. All incoming seventh-graders must have one dose of the meningococcal vaccine, and all incoming 12th graders must have a second dose of the vaccine. For info on the meningococcal vaccine and other requirements, visit www.odh.ohio.gov/immunization.

Communities play role in supporting moms Breastfeeding is a personal choice, but communities play a vital role in informing and supporting a mother’s decision to breastfeed her baby. Wood County Health District is reminding families of the benefits of breastfeeding during Breastfeeding Awareness Month. This year’s theme, “Breastfeeding: It’s a TEAM thing!” is intended to promote a supporting role in successful breastfeeding. Research shows that if a mother’s breastfeeding efforts are supported, she is more likely to give it a try, and more likely to keep going even if things get tough. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding with the addition of appropriate solid food for the first year and beyond. Research suggests breastfeeding is a way to lower the risk of infections and diseases for both mothers and their babies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that Ohio’s 2016 breastfeeding rate of 77.7 percent ranks 38th in the nation.

“In light of the monetary and lifesaving benefits of breastfeeding, all elements of the community must cooperate and support breastfeeding. Ultimately, our whole society benefits from having healthier mothers, babies and children when breastfeeding is promoted, protected and supported,” said Jackie Mears, director of Wood County’s Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. One of the most important things the community can do is to allow mothers to feel comfortable nursing in public. Hungry babies need to eat, and Ohio law allows breastfeeding in public. Businesses can show their support by placing the “Breastfeeding Welcome Here” sign for breastfeeding in their windows and educating employees on the acceptance of breastfeeding in their establishments. They can also encourage their employees and provide a private space to pump, other than a bathroom. This will increase employee retention and reduce medical costs. Hospitals can adopt the “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding” to show they are dedicated to supporting new mothers who choose to breastfeed. By eliminating for-

mula gifts to breastfeeding mothers, they send the message that they believe mothers can make enough milk to breastfeed exclusively. Educational institutions can support breastfeeding by presenting age-appropriate information on anatomy and physiology. County fairs can teach young children about how other mammals feed their young with milk that is made just for them. Childcare providers and libraries can stock children’s books that show breastfeeding as a normal part of family life. Social media can provide support to breastfeeding mothers through Facebook and Twitter. Breastfeeding mothers can reach out through groups and chatrooms to get the support they need to feel normal in a formula-feeding culture. For more information about breastfeeding in Wood County, call the Help Me Grow Helpline at 1-800-755-GROW or Wood County WIC at 419-354-9661. The mission of Wood County Health District is to prevent disease, promote healthy lifestyles and protect the health of everyone in Wood County. Visit www. woodcountyhealth.org for more details.

Breakthrough device heals organs with a single touch Researchers demonstrate a process known as tissue nanotransfection at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. In laboratory tests, this process was able to heal the badly injured legs of mice in just three weeks with a single touch of this chip. The technology works by converting normal skin cells into vascular cells, which helped heal the wounds. (Photo courtesy of OSU Wexner Medical Center) The chip, loaded with specific genetic code or certain proteins, is placed on the skin, and a small electrical current creates channels in the tissue. The DNA or RNA is injected into those channels where it takes root and begins to reprogram the cells. In a new study published in Nature Nanotechnology, first author Daniel

Gallego-Perez of Ohio State demonstrated that the technique worked with up to 98 percent efficiently. “What’s even more exciting is that it not only works on the skin, but on any type of tissue,” Sen said. In fact, researchers were able to grow brain cells on the skin surface of a mouse, harvest them, then in-

ject them into the mouse’s injured brain. Just a few weeks after having a stroke, brain function in the mouse was restored, and it was healed. Because the technique uses a patient’s own cells and does not rely on medication, researchers expect it to be approved for human trials within a year.

Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch. The technology, known as Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), injects genetic code into skin cells, turning those skin cells into other types of cells required for treating diseased conditions. “It takes just a fraction of a second. You simply touch the chip to the wounded area, then remove it,” said Chandan Sen, PhD, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine and Cell-Based Therapies at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “At that point, the cell reprogramming begins.” In a series of lab tests, researchers applied the chip to the injured legs of mice that vascular scans showed had little to no blood flow. “We reprogrammed their skin cells to become vascular cells,” Sen said. “Within a week we began noticing the transformation.” By the second week, active blood vessels had formed, and by the third week, the legs of the mice were saved — with no other form of treatment. “It extends the concept known as gene therapy, and it has been around for quite some time,” said study collaborator James Lee, PhD, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Ohio State. “The difference with our technology is how we deliver the DNA into the cells.”

How can you restore someone’s trust in you again? From the American Counseling Association Anyone who has experienced a breach of trust knows the pain and confusion that can go into trying to restore that trust. Any number of circumstances can cause us to lose trust. It can be a fairly minor incident, like a teen being late for a few too many curfews, or a major one, like an infidelity in a relationship. The person who lied feels he or she can never do enough to be trusted again. The deceived person probably feels it would be foolish to become too accepting too soon. If you want someone to regain their trust in you, try these tips that can help: • Don’t make excuses. Apologize and affirm that you won’t behave in the same

The

Counseling Corner manner again. Blaming someone else or claiming something happened beyond your control won’t help regain trust. • Deliver on your promises. Even in areas that might seem trivial, you can build trust by doing what you say you will do. If you say you’ll call if you’re going to be late, call. If you say you’ll do the laundry, do it.

Ottawa County health clinics The Ottawa County Health Department has released the clinic schedule for Aug. 14-18. Unless otherwise stated, all clinics are held at the health department, 1856 E. Perry St., Port Clinton. Clinic dates and times are — Aug. 14: Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Clinic, 7:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Aug. 15: 60-Plus Clinic – Port Clinton Senior Center, 9 a.m.-noon; Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Clinic, 12:45-

4:30 p.m. Aug. 16: Family Planning Clinic, 8-10:30 a.m.; Immunization Clinic (including flu/pneumonia shots), 2-6:30 p.m.; Tuberculosis Clinic (no appointment necessary), 3-4 p.m. Aug. 17: Well Child, Family Planning and STD Clinic, 8-11 a.m.; 60-Plus Clinic – Port Clinton Senior Center, 9 a.m.-noon. Aug. 18: Tuberculosis Clinic (no appointment necessary), 3-4 p.m. For home health, call 419-734-6800.

No forgetting, no having to be reminded, no offering excuses. • Expect the healing process to take time. Expect it to take more time than you thought it would, and probably more time than you think your original mistake deserves. The truth is that rebuilding trust is a slow process, one that requires repeated demonstrations of you being honest and following through, before trust begins to return. If you are the person who was deceived, you can help in the rebuilding of trust if you really value your relationship with the other person. You can start by paying attention to the things he or she is doing to try and reestablish your trust in them. Appreciate the effort that’s being made, as opposed to the other person just expecting

you to “get over it.” Though at first, it may seem as if a broken trust can never be repaired, people have a marvelous ability to make amends. The tough part is holding on through the rebuilding phase while consistency replaces doubt, time reduces discomfort and forgiveness replaces anger. If, despite these efforts, problems with trust and honesty persist in your family, or if anger prevents movement toward forgiveness, a consultation with a professional counselor might help fine-tune your relationships and get you moving toward healthier communication. Direct comments and questions to ACAcorner@counseling.org or visit www. counseling.org.

Hospice offering yoga for grievers The community is invited to a special yoga class series aimed at connecting the mind, body and heart of those who are grieving. Yoga for Grievers will be held Mondays Sept. 18, 25 and Oct. 2, 9 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Toledo Hospice Center, 800 South Detroit Ave. All people regardless of fitness level, age and flexibility are encouraged to attend.

Classes, conducted by Heather Miller-Klingler along with a licensed bereavement counselor, are free and open to anyone in the community, whether or not they have had a prior relationship with Hospice of Northwest Ohio. Attendees should wear comfortable clothing and bring water. Mats will be provided. Pre-registration is required. For info or to register, call the Hospice Bereavement Department at 419-661-4001.

Stone Lab lecture series available for online viewing Stone Lab, Ohio State University’s Gibraltar Island campus on Lake Erie, wrapped up its 2017 Guest Lecture Series on August 3 with “Ohio Fisheries Management,” presented by Rich Carter from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. An archive of the 2017 series, along with previous years’ presentations, is available at youtube.com/ohioseagrant/playlists. “The guest lecture series is a great way to get an overview of current research into the most important issues facing Lake Erie,” said Dr. Chris Winslow, Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Lab’s director. “Streaming the series online not only gives us a chance to archive these presentations for the future, but also opens them up to people who otherwise may not have a chance to hear from these scientists and professionals directly.” Speakers this year covered topics ranging from careers in the green industry to forecasting Lake Erie’s harmful algal blooms. Scientists introduced ongoing research into the effects of algal toxins on produce and the impacts of climate change on turtles, while agency leaders spoke about sustainable port infrastructure and horizontal drilling. Students in Stone Lab’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Scholarship Program presented the results of their research projects, studying everything from the importance of bird preserves on the Lake Erie islands to the effect of sediments and floating algae on walleye vision. REU students work with Great Lakes scientists for five weeks on an original project while taking a course at Stone Lab. Many of the students go on to present their results at professional conferences, giving them a head start on graduate school applications or careers in the sciences.

Obituary Joshua James Coy 3/18/1998 ~ 8/3/2017

Joshua James Coy, 19, passed away on August 3, 2017 at Magruder Hospital as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He was born on March 18, 1998 in Vancouver, WA, the son of Cynthia (Cowdrey) and Dale Coy. Joshua was a 2015 graduate of Oak Harbor High School and had just completed 2 years of college at Terra State Community College. He was enrolled at BGSU, and had plans to attend this fall, majoring in Special Needs Education because of his love of working with children. He had a deep love for animals, especially horses, dogs, cats and reptiles. At one time, he had 22 reptiles. He was a caring, giving & selfless person. He always offered to carry groceries or shovel snow for those in need, without being asked or having the expectation of getting paid. Joshua had a joy for life and was enthusiastic about his future. He had the hopes of becoming a teacher, husband and father, and being an integral part of their lives. Those left to cherish his memory are his loving parents: Dale and Cynthia Coy of Oak Harbor, OH; Maternal Grandfather: Nelson Cowdrey, Temperance, MI; Aunt: Norma (WD) Campbell, Xenia, OH; Uncles: Robert (Vicki) Coy, Xenia, OH and Michael (Kitty) Coy, Orlinda, TN. Joshua was preceded in death by his Paternal Grandparents: Robert M. and Nellie V. Coy; Maternal Grandmother: Carolyn Cowdrey; Aunt Debra (Cowdrey) Schetter; Uncle Michael Cowdrey and many cousins. Joshua loved the Pacific Ocean, having lived in California for 5 years, and he will return to his favorite beach in Del Mar, California. Joshua gave in death, as he gave in life, as he was an organ/tissue donor. Joshua's parents would like to thank Mid County EMS, Magruder Hospital, Ottawa County Sheriff, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol for their heroic efforts on Joshua, Cora and Barbie's behalf. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to benefit Autism awareness through: Pathway Inclusion Center, P.O. Box 528140, Port Clinton, OH 43452 or The ARC of Ottawa County, P.O.

Velliquette, Livewire qualify, place at Ohio State Fair

“

By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com

He really became a different horse. Once he realized she was good to him and that she was persistent...

“

Seventeen-year-old Graytown resident McKenna Velliquette had been a Reserve Grand Champion contester at the Ottawa County Fair and qualified in equestrian competition two consecutive years for the Ohio State Fair. You can now add three straight years, and this time she placed 10th out of 78 competitors during the statewide event. For Velliquette and her family, it’s been a long journey that ended well. Velliquette is a medical technology honor roll student who will be a senior at Penta Career Center (Oak Harbor) this fall and works two part-time jobs. She plans to study to become a registered nurse after graduation from Penta. However, her success in equestrian competition took a different route this summer. In her previous award winning seasons, she successfully partnered with younger horses, but this year she took an older horse and made him a champion, too. “She trained a horse in all patterns at about age 8 who actually had some speed and did quite well on her,” said mother Ginger Velliquette. “Last year she trained a 6-year-old we rescued in just two months for the fair and won three ribbons with her. “She has had a few unlucky years prior to this year with a few horses we bought that were either injured or had unacceptable behavior that we would not allow her to run. She remained a champ always, hoping to find a comparable fast partner like she had three years prior, named Fly. They were a team for four good years. “This year, in February, she found her dream partner, “Livewire,” online. Yes, Dad drove her to West Virginia to look at him on a Friday and we picked him up the next morning. She tricked her dad and told him it was four hours away, and then one hour into the trip she told him it was six hours away. Mckenna never can find them close,” Ginger continued. “Checking out horses on these horse trips is exciting, fun quality time and unforgettable memories for all of us. We picked him up in Pennsylvania the next morning — a few hours closer to a show they hauled him to for us.” It might be noted that Livewire turned 15-years-old this year and is a 15-hand quarter horse. “Once weather broke and dried up, she began riding him at home,” Ginger continued. “He only knew barrels, so she would practice all the other six patterns he needed to know for fair in the backyard at a walk and trot and condition him in our trails as he was not in shape and hadn’t been run hardly at all in the last three years. “It is always so scary as a parent as your child begins riding a new fast horse. As a mom, I feel so much better after they get a few shows under their belt as each horse acts differently and the rider has to figure them out and their every move and they have to get used to each other, while running full speed. “Her 23-year-old sister, Morgan Velliquette, was also a county fair grand champion and Ohio State Fair placer in speed. She wanted to accomplish what big sis did and did just that this year in just a few months working with Livewire.” Ginger said early this summer is when McKenna and Livewire started taking their

that she was persistent, knew what she was doing, and he would have to do what she wanted him to do, he started to want to please her and he did just that. He now adores her, does what he didn’t do, and gives it his all every run until the end of every show. She even changed his tack to less severe and he loves it and obeys her wonderfully in it.”

In the lower photo, Velliquette and Livewire running “flags,” which is described as “a difficult-run full speed event where you pick a stick out of a bucket of sand on top of a barrel,” which is what Velliquette did in this picture and she then came around full speed to pick up another bucket of sand on a different barrel while still running full speed. She then had to stick it in the barrel of sand as she went by, and she got it on the first try. (Photos courtesy Studio 316 Designs) training seriously. “The beginning of June we began taking her to shows to practice full speed what she had been teaching him in the backyard and run barrels, of course. Well, Livewire was not an angel when we started taking him and he had a whole different gear than a few of our other fast horses. He is super crazy fast. “McKenna was excited because she

said she could feel it when she tried him. He didn’t want to load, didn’t want to go in the ring, and was scared of everything. With persistence, many phone calls to the old owner with numerous questions, and constant work, this young cowgirl in just a few months turned this horse around,” Mom continued. “He really became a different horse. Once he realized she was good to him and

Started with Gymkhana classes McKenna’s run to the Ohio State Fair began with a top award at the county fair. “She reached her goal of what she dreamed of this year, getting the 2017 Ottawa County Fair Senior Grand Champion Gymkhana award, taking six firsts out of the eight Gymkhana classes at the county fair,” Ginger said. “Also, this year they gave out, for the first time, a huge Sportsmanship Trophy amongst the horse 4-H competitors and our superintendant said it was unanimous that they all voted for McKenna, stating she is always out in the arena and will help any kid with turning a barrel, etc., and who continually wears a smile on her face. As her mom, I am so proud of her. She not only wears a continuous smile, but is always so sweet and kind to everyone.” “Also, she met another one of her goals this year when she and Livewire qualified for the Ohio State Fair. We tell her it is such an accomplishment just to qualify to go, as times are very tight to make it for gymkhana (i.e. speed classes). Better yet, at the state fair on July 28 they continued to amaze us and placed 10th out of 78 horses in Keyhole (a down and back pattern, but you have to weave around the end pole without knocking two poles set in front of it). They ran this pattern in 8.977 seconds and received a big baby blue ribbon. The old owners are so happy and proud of them, too.” Ginger says McKenna’s run did not end in Columbus. Instead, it continued at other county fairs. “They have been doing amazing at the local shows we have been going to, also. Last weekend, we took her to Seneca County Fair and they ran their first 16.9 and a 17 flat second large barrel pattern and ran two 7.9 second down and back patterns.” Ginger says the amazing thing is how well McKenna and Livewire, especially considering the quarter horse was 15 years old, were able to bond so well together. “It takes a full year to get to really know your new horse, so they have done more than amazing in just the few months they have worked together and we are really proud of them,” Ginger said. “She gave up sports years ago, as horses take a lot of time and practice, not to mention the chores twice a day all year long.”

The initial diagnoses seemed harmless enough, but it turned into a bigger problem for Genoa graduate Logan Scott. Scott, the starting quarterback at Defiance College as a junior last season, was having a solid game against Hanover (Ind.) College on Oct. 29. On one play, however, he planted his foot and felt a twinge in his right knee. Scott passed for 271 yards and three touchdowns in the Yellow Jackets’ 27-20 loss, but he missed the final four minutes of the game because of the knee injury. “They tested it after the game and thought it was just a strain,” said Scott, who tore the ACL in his left knee as a junior at Genoa and as a sophomore at Defiance. “I iced it and rested and I played the last two games at probably 60 percent.” Scott said he took six weeks off after the season to rest the knee. He started lifting again, but his knee “gave out” a couple times during spring practices. Scott said he knew something was wrong based on how he felt after his previous two knee injuries. He had surgery on his right knee on June 29 and said he hoped to be off crutches on Aug. 9. This most recent ACL tear officially ended Scott’s playing career. “I knew I couldn’t play on it this year with how it was,” he said. “I wanted to get it checked out, hoping it was the meniscus and I could get it cleaned up. (X-rays) showed a completely torn ACL and meniscus tear. It was bone on bone and I was getting arthritis really bad. They were surprised I was still walking. “I was hoping I could get one more year out of my knee, but it didn’t work out. I never told anybody but I knew it was worse than it was. I didn’t want people to find out. I was disappointed just because of the timing of it. You get better to build up as a senior and it gets taken away from you like that.” The Yellow Jackets’ first-year head coach, Aaron Mershman, has been on Defiance’s staff for three years and is familiar with the intangibles Scott brings to the

program. Mershman said Scott, who threw for 1,659 yards and 18 touchdowns with 13 interceptions last season, was the clear-cut starter for 2017 “He would have been the guy,” Mershman said. “He’s such a great leader. Now we’re sitting here with a wide-open QB battle going into the season. His backup (senior John McKinney) has done a pretty good job growing up over the summer and trying to be the guy. We brought in a group of freshmen who can spin the ball and they have some athletic ability, but it’s hard to lose a team captain and senior quarterback.” Scott, 21, said the Defiance coaches, including former head coach Casey Goff, asked him in late April if he wanted to stay with the team to mentor the quarterbacks. Scott jumped at the opportunity. “I told them I still wanted to be around my friends,” Scott said, “but I have enough knowledge that I know I can help. John is stepping in for the first time since he played (quarterback) in high school. I’m going to be here for school anyways and I figured I could help out. I like coaching, but I know I’m not going to do that as as career.” McKinney will try to help the Yellow Jackets improve on last year’s 5-5 finish, which included a 4-4 record in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. McKinney completed 6-of-9 passes for 100 yards a year ago. “He’s one of my best friends, so I’m around him a lot anyways,” Scott said. “He works really well with me. When I told the coaches I wouldn’t play anymore, they asked me to stick around and I’ve helped (McKinney) out a lot. He’s improved a lot since the spring. Scott, the senior class president at Genoa, is 16 credits shy of graduating with a degree in molecular biology pre-med and a minor in chemistry. He plans to attend medical school and become an orthopedic surgeon. “I’ve had a lot of knee problems, and I’m really good at anatomy,” Scott said. “I’ve done an internship with a lot of specialties and that’s the (specialty) that’s interested me the most.” Logan is the son of Brett and Krista Scott.

Terry’s Auto & Truck Repair Dear All and Future Customers of Terry’s Auto & Truck Repair, I wanted to take the time to thank you for being a customer of mine. It has been brought to my attention that there has been some talk regarding the shop. Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with cancer. I am receiving treatment and overall doing well. With this, I cannot be at the shop full time. Recently, I hired a service advisor who will be able to assist you and answer your questions when I am unavailable. The automotive repair, heavy duty truck repair, and farm equipment repair will continue as it has been. I assure you that business will be operating as usual. As of August 1, 2017, we will no longer be offering 24/7 heavy duty towing and road service. The automotive and light truck towing will be available to our customers. Again, I want to thank you for being a loyal customer of mine. We are and will continue to assist you with your complete auto and truck repair needs. Sincerely, Terry Witt, President/Owner TBW Enterprises, Inc. dba Terry’s Auto & Truck Repair 419-836-7461 Autumn Schmidt, radio host Dave Truman, professional Min-G Kim, Olivia Jackson, and Leigh Snyder after their round at the Marathon Classic LPGA Pro-Am.

Eagles, Flyers’ goals same — to win a league championship Eastwood girls’ golf likes its chances of winning a Northern Buckeye Conference title this season. Three seniors lead the way, including the reigning NBC Player of the Year, Leigh Snyder. Snyder and fellow seniors Solona Lopez and Megan Hosely are joined by junior Hannah Shaffer and three sophomores — Sarah Ameling, Kendra Hagg and Olivia Rufner — who also figure into the mix for Coach John Cavendish’s club. “I think the NBC is going to be really tight this year. It’s going to be nip and tuck and it will be fun for the coaches, but I don’t know about the players,” said Cavendish. “If Leigh and Solona step up, we have a good chance of winning the league. They are my two leaders. “I need to see our short game improve just a bit. I need two putts instead of three puts — one chip instead of two chips. And I really think that, not just for their individual games, but for the team, will help. The skills are there, it just depends on them and how hard they want to work. If we improve our short game, we will be successful. From the tee to the green, we are fine.” Snyder got to play at the Marathon Classic’s LPGA Pro-Am golf scramble in Sylvania last month, helping her team finish third. At Highland Meadows, her teammates were professional golfer Min-G Kim, Lake golfer Autumn Schmidt, Rossford golfer Olivia Jackson and Dave Truman, who is one of the Great Lakes Golf Today radio hosts on 106.5 The Ticket Saturday mornings. Snyder, who is considering playing golf at the collegiate level, says she expects her teammates and herself to stay focused. “As a senior, I would love to go to districts. I don’t think Eastwood has sent anyone to districts since (state champion and now LPGA golfer) Alyssa Shimel. Even if I just made it to districts that would be one step. I would love to win Player of the Year again. There’s so much competition, it’s anyone’s game. I know I’m going to be met with a lot of competition It’s going to be tight. I have high expectations for this year. I hope to achieve a few more things than I did last year. “I would like to see us win the NBC. The last few years, we haven’t been where we wanted to, and I don’t see why can’t be there. I think it’s about the amount of effort we put in. We always put in a lot of effort at practice, but it’s going to need to be a lot more practice rounds and open gyms. The whole idea of us sitting down together as a team (and) where our mental game needs to be is important — we need to sit down and figure out how to remain calm and hit better shots following a bad shot and being there for each other and realizing what needs to be done.” Flyers set goals high, too Schmidt, a junior, is joined on Lake’s team by seniors Sam Hoffman, Jessica Middaugh, fellow junior Aubrie

Kunkleman and sophomore Kim Zoltani. Gone are Maddy Mackiewicz and Emilee Kunkelman, previously two of the Flyers’ best golfers. Both earned All-NBC honors last season. Schmidt’s goals are similar to her LPGA Pro-Am teammate, Snyder, and her team’s goals match Eastwood’s team goals. “My expectations for the season are that I would like to be Player of the Year in the NBC. I feel like I have the ability. I’d like to do well at sectionals and get to districts and keep moving forward,” Schmidt said. “I was one stroke from making it to districts last year, so that is motivating me. I feel that we have a really good shot at winning the league this year. We have a lot of girls who are trying really hard.” Lake coach Jeff Gajdostik added, “Autumn is probably the best player. She’s going to be No. 1 for the year, followed by Zoltani, Middaugh, Hoffman and Kunkleman. That’s how we stack up right now. Autumn should be in the 40s, I’d like to see her get down into the low 40s and high 30s. If she keeps improving, there’s no reason she can’t average in the high 30s. She’s that good. Zoltani is pretty good, too. Middaugh has gotten a lot better, she’s shown big improvement,” “Golf is about how hard you work at it — not just practices and matches. They seem like a pretty dedicated group, they’re a good group of girls. I’ve only been with them a few months. As long as we keep improving, that’s all you can ask. “The team as a whole is pretty decent. I think we should be able to win the league. Our goal should be to win sectionals, or to make it and then go to districts. We have a pretty solid group of girls. We’ll see how we improve throughout the year. Gajdostik says his golfers will have to put in the work if they hope to compete for a league title. “They’re all dedicated to the sport. I’m not expecting them to hit 200 balls a day like some tour players. I make it very clear, it’s very hard to get better if you don’t practice on your own,” he said. “I’m more interested in the girls getting better individually and pushing themselves. A few of them have seen the improvements already. They’re taking lessons. It’s what you put into it — that will be the difference.” Lake’s opening performance was a 210274 victory over Fremont Ross. Schmidt shot a 45, followed by Zoltani (51), MIddaugh (56) and Hoffman (58).

Arquette leads group of talented, experienced Eagles By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay tennis coach Walt Ralph is excited about the potential of his team because first singles player Mady Arquette is leading an experienced and accomplished group, Ralph, now in his 22nd season, has five returning starters, including three seniors and two juniors. Arquette, a junior, is coming off an appearance at the Division I state tournament, making her the only player in program history to reach that point. One of Ohio’s best players, she nearly advanced to the finals in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference tournament last year before bowing out to St. Ursula’s Grace Almester, 7-6 (7-4), 6-4. Arquette would recover to finish third, defeating Notre Dame’s Bella Yazji, 6-4, 6-3. Joining Arquette is the No. 2 singles player, Tori Gallaher, also a junior, and senior Kelsey Meldrum, who plays third singles. Like Arquette, Gallaher and Meldrum both finished third in the TRAC in 2016. Gallaher defeated Findlay’s Julia Weigman and St. Ursula’s Kate McNerney in the process while Meldrum bested Findlay’s Sarah Abraham and Fremont Ross’ Alyssa Meyer. “We’ve got a lot of experience coming back. Kelsey played in the TRAC finals at third singles and Tori is a terrific athlete who has worked very hard in the offseason, so I’m expecting some further improvements,” said Ralph. “There are a lot of exciting things. How that matches up against the rest of the league, nobody knows. We’d like to think we’re in the mix. I’m excited to get the season started and see where we measure up.” Last year, the Eagles finished tied for third at the TRAC tournament and placed fourth overall in the league standings after going 4-3 in conference play. “Central Catholic has the majority of

their team coming back. They were very strong last year, I’d say that would be my guess (preseason favorite),” said Ralph. “My style is that I don’t put a lot of time and energy into results-oriented goals. We talk about doing things the right way and trusting that if and when we are successful, good things happen. There are so many variables. I try to keep them focused on what’s in our control. We have to recognize what we can control.” Seniors Alyson Naugle and Olivia Tilton will move up to play at No. 1 doubles after finishing as the runner-up at No. 2 doubles in the TRAC last year. The duo won their first two matches, both in straight sets, before falling to Notre Dame’s Allison Clark and Julia Loeb. “It’s a jump going up to first doubles, but they’re a talented group,” said Ralph. “I think having that experience last year and having that success, they’re coming in with some confidence. There’s a jump in talent that they’re working against.” The second doubles position, meanwhile, is currently up for grabs with five players — Kenzie Arquette, Jessica Krieger, Abby Kolinski, Alayna Wells and Ryliegh Schacht — duking it out. Two of those five players will have to replace the former No. 1 doubles team of Breann Zachel and Elizabeth Vincent. “I think the chemistry is great. One of the things we stress that’s in our control is pulling together as a team and having each other’s backs. I’m constantly impressed that the girls buy into that. They do a great job with that. I think having the majority of them coming back again and having been through the ringer is important; they’ve had a year to grow together as a team,” said Ralph. “The new players that we’ve brought into the fold are all really athletic-minded and are working hard. They’re already in the fold and they know how things work based on the leadership of our varsity players.”

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Be Your Own Hero Works of fiction are sometimes disparaged by those with a practical bias as being useless, or at best, a harmless diversion. They would rather read non-fiction, presumably because it gives them knowledge which they can actually use. But fiction often teaches us valuable lessons about how to live life, how to handle adversity, and what it is to be human in difficult circumstances. Furthermore, we are sometimes struck by the realization that we might bend circumstances and events to our will, and in effect become the heroes of our own life. That is a valuable lesson, and one which can be learned from reading fiction, but also from reading biographies, autobiographies, and the narratives of the Bible. Becoming a hero usually starts, as it does in fiction, with

Oregon

conflict or adversity. From there, one must be inspired to resolve the conflict or deal with the adversity. And before the inspiration fades, one usually has to create a workable plan. In the same way that an author must plan her work, thinking over and trying out different plots and plans for character development, we should plan our own lives, perhaps imagining different paths toward achieving something great, something worth writing about. And just as an author has to develop her characters, so too do we have to develop our own moral character. “And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” —Romans 5: 2-4 NIV

Growers group

Produce project becomes success story By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An expansion project by the Maumee Valley Growers Association into supplying produce for the wholesale market has been a success and will continue, says Joe Perlaky, MVGA executive director. The non-profit association received a grant two years ago of $100,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that enabled it to function as what Perlaky calls a “value chain coordinator” and offer about 20 association members the chance to pool their resources. “This is great news for our farming community and surrounding region,” he said. “This program offers sales venues not normally available to small farmers. This will be on-going and we’re building on it.” In the 14 years or so since its inception, the MVGA’s focus has been on flowers. But when “buy local” food programs became more popular, association members saw an opportunity to expand into produce markets. The grant was used to partner with Azoti, a Columbus-based software company that also provided staffing with connections to chefs statewide, and with Sirna and Sons Produce, Ravenna, O., for logistical assistance. “We found that our niche was small farmers. Those with gross annual receipts of less than $100,000. Most are in the $25,000 range. These are the same farmers that are

This is great news for our farming community and surrounding region.

After the demolition this summer of a mixed-use building in downtown Port Clinton, the Ottawa County Land Bank is focusing its attention on structures in other parts of the county, JoEllen Regal, president of the land bank’s board of directors, said last week. Regal said the Port Clinton property included apartments and commercial space but hadn’t been in use for years and had become a safety hazard. The land bank owns eight other properties, including structures in the Genoa and Oak Harbor areas, and some may be demolished by early next month. Bids for contracts to remove asbestos and the demolition have been advertised. Demolition includes removal of the structures, foundations and basements, Regal said, and the land bank will also contract for lawn maintenance and removal of diseased trees where needed. Any recyclable materials found during the inspection of the houses will be donated to non-profit organizations. All properties obtained by the land bank were delinquent on property taxes. Funding for the demolitions is coming from a $500,000 grant from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency through its Neighborhood Initiative Program. The goal is to stabilize property values by removing and then “greening” vacant and blighted properties in targeted areas in an effort to prevent future foreclosures for existing homeowners, according to the OHFA website. In Ohio, 31 percent of homeowners with loans owe at least 125 percent more than their estimated home value. Regal said the NIP grant includes restrictions that require the land bank to own demolished properties for three years. Once that requirement is met, the properties can be sold. Once purchased, the new owner can build a new house or adjoining property owners can but the land and split

involved in our floriculture program but they could never compete with large farms because they didn’t have the volume and variety of produce for the wholesale market. “It’s important to note this grant isn’t being used to sell directly to customers, there is no retail involved. We’re not competing with farmers markets or selling to grocery stores. The purpose is to allow small farmers, working together, to carry enough volume and variety of food to compete in the wholesale market,” Perlaky said. “The point is to create wealth for the small farmer.” Small growers who aren’t members of the association also were allowed to participate in the program. The MVGA functions as a clearing house so the farmers could pool their resources to be more competitive at the wholesale level. The software developed by Azoti allows buyers to see what produce is available from each grower at any time of the day.

“We have 51 chefs who we’re working with. Most are from outside the area,” Perlaky said. “Having enough farmers and enough chefs gives you the diversity to work the software system online. It’s very convenient.” In the first year of the program, the growers sold about $10,000 worth of produce. By the second year, sales reached about $50,000. “All types of leafy greens are some of the chefs’ favorite categories. And we can’t seem to keep enough cherry tomatoes and strawberries in stock. These items are grown nearly year round in our green houses. That makes us somewhat unique as a produce provider in the northern states,” Perlaky said. Growers harvest the pre-sold produce and transport it to a drop point at Hoen’s Greenhouse in Springfield Township. The MVGA then labels it and ships it to the distributor. With the farmers only harvesting what has been ordered, there is less waste and the distributor only has to deal with the association rather than many farmers. “We provide the service for the distributor which generally doesn’t want to deal with small farmers. It’s a lot of management with many variables. We’re almost like a food broker, connecting small farmers with the buyers, who are typically chefs,” Perlaky said. In all, the MVGA includes more than 70 growers.

Cruising the Maumee River for clean water

Partners for Clean Streams and Lucas Soil & Water Conservation District, with funding from the Maumee Area of Concern Advisory Committee, co-hosted a water quality boat cruise on the Sandpiper Boat August 5. While cruising the Maumee River, passengers got a chance to ask local water quality professionals questions regarding the current and future state of our waterways. Also during the cruise, passengers were asked trivia questions about our water resources (top photo). Speakers from left to right are Cheryl Rice, USDA, Natural Resources Conservation District; Paul Bockstahler, engineer at City of Toledo; and Jamie Kochensparger, Education Specialist at Lucas County Soil & Water Conservation District.

Oregon City Council on Monday will consider approving a $291,270 contract with Deitering Landscaping, Inc., of Leipsic, Ohio, to provide labor and materials for the city’s 2017 tree planting project. Plans call for the installation of both coniferous and deciduous trees in designated areas throughout the city to provide residential screening and environmental benefits. “We’ve really talked for over a year now about a tree screening program,” City Administrator Mike Beazley said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. “This is the first major bid portion of it. We took some minor steps last year.” The objective of the three-year phased project, he said, “is to allow our industrial areas to more peacefully co-exist with the rest of our community.” Among the proposed planting areas include some commercial sites along Navarre Avenue. “We’re kind of waiting until we get through with some of our development plans there. But we think we can integrate that into some of the spaces that separate the properties on the north side of Navarre with some of our commercial areas as well,” said Beazley. The city is adding evergreens in the area of the Oregon Flood Relief project on Wynn Road, where the project started, to help achieve screening, said Beazley. Other proposed tree planting areas include a city owned lot at the corner of Wynn and Cedar Point Road. “It would help to define and separate our space as you look toward our industrial areas,” he said. “We thought we could do a planting along the new Cedar Point Road. We could easily do a planting along that road to make that a more attractive separation. It’s probably the least necessary because we don’t have a residential space there,” he said. “Some of these we included because we thought these were areas that would be easiest to accomplish this year in terms of right-of-way access easements.

Another option is for the properties to be developed into community gardens or green spaces. “The properties we acquire with the grant have to be delinquent in taxes and abandoned and blighted,” Regal said. Ottawa County established the land bank in April 2016. The acquisition and demolition of properties is administered by the county’s regional planning commission.

a couple of little challenges out there but we’re on a reasonable path to accomplish it.” “There are some places where we’re still in negotiating for right-of-way and easements. They could be delayed until next year,” he said. Costs associated with the project will be reimbursed by the project’s industrial partners, said Beazley. “This is great that we’re doing this because it’s in our industrial area and we’ll be reimbursed,” said Councilwoman Sandy Bihn. “I think it’s a great project. But I don’t know how much we do for neighborhoods in town, and how we’re looking at screenings, or plantings, or landscaping or parks – anything that can help us sustain our neighborhoods. I’m not sure we focus enough on that. I’m not even sure who is responsible for that. But at least I’d like to go in that direction at some point and take a look at it and see what other places are doing to help their neighborhoods.”

“

My daughter and I were at Bob Evans recently, and Barbie was our server, and I remember leaving her this ridiculously large tip because I know how hard she worked. She had a really giving, kind spirit when in actuality, she could’ve been one of those hardened kids. That was always something I cherished about her.” Raber’s son, Noah, was friends with Coy and Roob. “Josh was a very hard worker. He loved music; he struggled musically (at first), but he was so determined and by the time he graduated, he was on stage in all of our productions. He had this drive to improve himself that I wish more kids had,” said

The Ottawa County Grand Jury returned indictments against the following individuals: • Ronnie J. Barret, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was charged with one count each of Vandalism and Aggravating Menacing, both felonies of the fifth degree, after he allegedly damaged a cruiser belonging to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office and threatened a deputy. • Cody J. Moskal, who is being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was indicted on one count each of Burglary and Assault, felonies of the second and fourth degree, respectively. According to reports Moskal attempted to enter a Rocky Ridge residence in July. Moskal is also accused of trying to cause physical harm to emergency personnel. • Eric. W. Hurst, 5148 N. SR 2, Oak Harbor, has been indicted on counts of Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated, Driving Under Suspension, Following Too Closely, and Possession of Drug Abuse Instruments. Hurst was stopped after Oak Harbor Police Department received reports of a motorist driving erratically. Officers found Hurst intoxicated and driving without a valid license. The OVI charge is a felony, alleging that Hurst has three or more previous OVI convictions in the past 10 years. • Steven Squire, 212 Ottawa St., Oak Harbor, was charged with one count each of Trafficking in Drugs and Possession of Drugs after he was allegedly found in possession of prescription drugs earlier this year by an Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office deputy. • Jared Cook, 8977 W. SR 163, Oak Harbor, has been charged with one count each of Possession of Drugs and Tampering with Evidence, after Port Clinton Police reportedly found him in possession of cocaine in January. Summonses have been issued for Squire and Cook. Warrants have been issued for other defendants. VanEerten noted that an indictment is merely a formal charge in the Common Pleas Court and does not denote guilt or innocence.

They went about their lives each and every day, gradually making an impact on others. The kindness and colorful personalities exuded on a daily basis by Cora Roob, Joshua Coy and Barbara “Barbie” Redfern defined who they were. The trio leaves behind an enduring legacy, not just for their family and friends, but also the Oak Harbor community. They are remembered for entertaining the community through their efforts in choir, band, theater and sports, as well as for helping others. Roob and Coy, both 19, graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 2015 while Redfern had just graduated in May. The three were killed when their vehicle collided with a truck at the intersection of Oak Harbor Southeast and Muddy Creek North Roads. Redfern was set to attend Columbus State College to study aviation. Coy had just completed two years of schooling at Terra State Community College and was about to enroll at Bowling Green State University to major in Special Needs Education while Roob was also set to start college with the intent to study medicine. “I’ve seen them on stage, whether it was for plays or choir. They were highly involved in our extracurricular actives, and they shared it with others. Cora was so talented on stage. She shared her passion of the arts with her classmates and that endeared her to her drama and choir directors,” Oak Harbor High School principal Cheryl Schell said of Roob, who was the lead in two Thespian Club productions. “Barbie was so talented and was very active in FFA. She had a passion for education and the agricultural business and drove her sister to school everyday at the middle school. Barbie was a mature young lady. “Josh came to us a little bit later. I didn’t know him as well, (but) when he was on stage, he endeared himself to the school.” Russ Raber, the school’s choir director, had a close relationship with Coy, Redfern and Roob. He spoke highly of them, complimenting them for the effort they put forth as students and for the character they exemplified. “Barbie worked for everything she had. She had a spitfire personality, but she was so into rooting for the underdog — regardless of who you were, you had a place at the table, you had just as much to offer (in her eyes), and I really respected that. Barbie truly could’ve had a mean chip on her shoulder, but she didn’t. She was always looking out for people who were less fortunate,” Raber said. “She was one of the hardest working kids that I know.

Russ Raber. “And he loved animals - he would come into class and show me pictures of his horses. One thing I will never forget about him is he always had a smile on his face. I can recount two or three days when he didn’t come into my classroom with a gigantic smile on his face. “I saw Cora sometimes two or three periods per day. She was integral in this choir family that we’ve developed. Her smile lit up the entire space. Cora had one of the leading roles in Damn Yankees, and my daughter’s eyes lit up when Cora came on stage. Emma still talks about Cora on that show and I can’t really fathom what positive impact she had on my daughter and other kids.” Needless to say, Raber is struggling to deal with the loss of these special individuals. “As much as you try to make sense of loss and death, this isn’t the way it’s supposed to happen. Kids are supposed to outlive their parents, students are supposed to outlive their teachers. That’s the natural order,” he said. “But when you see that these three lives touched so many people, that’s a really, really difficult thing to grab hold of and make sense of. “I couldn’t even calculate the amount of hours that I spent with each of them. I hope I impacted them, and I know I’m a better person for having known them, and I hope it’s transferrable.”

On the search for bee venom By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Like an annual rite of late summer, Russell Lamp, owner of Integrated Pest Control, is once again looking for the nests of bald-faced hornets. The entomologist is offering to collect nests of the hornets and yellow jackets for free - if they’ve not been sprayed - for the insects’ venom, which he provides to three laboratories. He expects to look for the nests for the next few weeks. Bald-faced hornets can be found in both wooded and urban areas. Queens start a new nest each spring after the weather warms in late April or May. The hornets usually grow to oneinch and have a distinct color pattern – the head, thorax, abdomen, and antennae are black and white. Wings are smoky. Nests are made by chewing up strips of wood and mixing it with sticky saliva and can be larger than a basketball. “Sometimes they look like a piĂąata hanging from a tree but I don’t advise hitting them with a stick,â€? Lamp said. By early September, he’ll also be looking for mature nests of yellow jackets, which are often found in ground. An active nest will usually have about 100 yellow jackets entering or leaving it in one minute. They often scavenge for human food such as carbonated beverages and ripe fruit and vegetables. Lamp describes yellow jackets as aggressive and capable of stinging repeatedly. To contact him - he’s prone to say give him a buzz - call 419-836-3710.

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Ohio State Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate a fatal crash involving a pedestrian on State Route 2 in Jerusalem Township that occurred around 10:45 p.m. on Aug. 7. “Right now, we’re still investigating everything related to the accident,� Lt. S.J. Robinson, of the Toledo post of the state highway patrol, told The Press last week. Courtney P. Gibbons, 27, of Plymouth, Michigan, was driving a 2011 green Ford Focus, westbound on State Route 2, milepost 33, when she pulled off the side of the road for an unknown reason and began walking westbound on State Route 2, according to the highway patrol. Tricia L. Michael, 46, of Oak Harbor, was driving a 2015 white Dodge Challenger eastbound on State Route 2 milepost 33, when her vehicle’s driver side mirror struck Gibbons.

“She said Gibbons was in the middle of the road, she saw her at the last minute and swerved,� said Robinson. Gibbons continued to walk westbound in the middle of the road after she was struck. A 2017 white Freightliner commercial truck, driven by Christopher O. Hughes, 41, of Belleview, Michigan, was eastbound on State Route 2, milepost 33, when it struck Gibbons in the middle of the roadway. After being struck, Gibbons came to rest in the middle of State Route 2. She was dead at the scene, said Robinson. Michael’s vehicle sustained minor damage and was able to be driven from the scene. She was not injured. She stayed at the scene. Hughes left the scene after striking Gibbons. Hughes and the commercial truck were located later that morning in Ottawa County. His truck sustained minor damage and was towed. He was not injured, according to the highway patrol. Robinson said it would be “premature�

to characterize the accident as a hit and run. “We’re still working on it,� he said. The condition of the roadway was not a contributing factor, he said. “It was a very clear night,� he said. “The roadway was dry.� “It was dark out, there are no streetlights out there,� he added. Michael and Hughes were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. Gibbons was not wearing any reflective clothing, according to Robinson. No charges have been filed at this time, and the crash remains under investigation, according to Robinson. “Our crash reconstruction unit will go out and look at the evidence, and put together a report. We still have to look at the truck and piece together some information, and get some statements from the drivers,� he said. “The investigation could take a while – at least a couple of months, if not a little bit longer.�

Floyd finally speaks, after more than 12,000 miles Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on June 4 to resume his bicycle ride around the perimeter of the United States in an effort to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children. Here is an excerpt from his blog, which you can follow by going to presspublications.com and clicking on the icon on the upper right corner. Greetings Humans — It’s me…Floyd —you know…the Bike. Al wanted me to do one of these closeto-the-end updates. I don’t know – maybe he’s running out of words, or maybe he thinks you might like to hear from me. Anyway, I guess this journey is really winding down – and it’s been quite a ride. So many miles – more than 12,000 now – and so many memories. It feels as though my wheels have been spinning forever. That jaunt down the East Coast seems like a long time ago now. I learned so much history along the way – Al likes to stop at all those historical sites – yawn...well, not really. Don’t tell Al, but I was pretty fascinated by some of those places – Lexington and Concord, Washington, D.C., Fredericksburg Battlefield, the Alamo, the place where that Indian girl Sacagawea lived – geez, I can’t remember them all. And it was fun visiting all those Habitat for Humanity job sites. So much activity going on with a lot of enthusiastic people running all over the place, carrying things, pounding on things, lifting things. Glad I could just sit there and watch Al swing a hammer – don’t think I would have been too good at that. That ride through the southern states during the winter wasn’t as warm as I thought it would be – there were some darned cold mornings out there – especially that huge place called Texas. Al said it was supposed to be warmer, but it sure did take a while for my wheels to warm up on some of those cold mornings. One memory that will always be with me is that whack-a-mole job the lady did

I've been everywhere man, says Floyd. (Photo courtesy of Al Thompson) on me in the Mohave Desert. Holy spokes! I never thought I would recover from that. I remember flying through the air, and landing on my front wheel, and all my spokes going this way and that...but don’t remember much after that. I did get a week-long rest out of it in Lake Havasu City...and there was that nice fellow who paid for my entire repair bill, but wouldn’t tell us who he was – he did tell us he was a disabled veteran. I seem to be a source of endless fascination for people who happen by – they’re always stopping to give me the once over... and then the twice and thrice over. They like to check out all the cool stuff hanging off me, and they’re always reading the sign on my butt that tells them what I’m doing and where I’ve been. Sometimes they even

leave money stuffed in my handle bar bag. But Al prefers that they visit his website, and leave some money there for one of the charities he’s riding for. Al and I have met so many kind and interesting folks along the way. Some of them are called Warm Showers hosts, and some are old friends, or people we just meet along the way, and we get to stay in their homes. Well, at least Al does – seems like he always gets the bed. I usually end up in the garage. But there have been some very nice garages. Don’t tell Al this, but some of those garages have a fridge with beer in it. But I won’t say any more about that – I don’t want to get in trouble. That West Coast was really something.

ery gear he could find in my combination of gears to climb those coastal hills. And the wind – wow. Seems like it was always slowing me down. But I really liked seeing the ocean and that dramatic coastline. I don’t know which was more difficult for me – that Pacific Coast or the Rocky Mountains. They were both so challenging. But gosh, I’ve never seen such spectacular scenery. So many ups and downs. It seems like it was either one or the other. And I thought it would be a relief once we made it out onto those Great Plains. But you know what – those Great Plains aren’t really flat at all. And man, you can just see forever out there. That long and beautiful river we just got done following sure was something. They call it “The Father of Waters,” and I can see why! I hope you guys didn’t get tired of seeing me – seems like Al was always taking my photo. Guess he felt like if he couldn’t be in it, then I should be in it. But he was always taking a photo of my bad side – yes, even we bikes have our good and bad sides. I hope I’ve lived up to my namesake, Charles Floyd, and I hope I would have done him proud. Al is always praising me, but sometimes he cusses at me too, like when my rear tire goes flat, or my gears start to miss. But I think he’s proud of me and the job I’ve done carrying him all these miles. Al said that a very important man by the name of William Clark was the commander of Charles Floyd a long time ago, and when the young man died, William said of Charles Floyd, “He was a man of much merit.” I heard Al say the other day that I’m also a Bicycle of Much Merit. And that made me feel pretty good! So, the end is in sight - just a couple hundred more miles to go. Looking forward to being back home in my own garage – and just snoozing most of the day. Al wanted me to say to you all that we hope you have enjoyed the ride, and to let you all know that...we are Proceeding On.

August,2007 News: A large crowd gathered at One Main Street in East Toledo to say goodbye to the Sports Arena, which was being demolished to make room for the Marina District development. The 61-year-old building was home to minor league hockey, concerts and family shows, such as Disney on Ice. *** The City of Oregon celebrated its 50th birthday with a number of events including a fireworks show. Fifty businesses and organization also participated by painting and decorating raccoons to display. *** The red-light camera at Woodville and Lemoyne Roads helped Lake Township Police solve a burglary case. As the thieves sped through the light at 72 miles per hour chased by a church pastor, the camera recorded the vehicle license plate and the image of a stolen weed trimmer sticking out the back window. Sports: The Oregon-based Ohio Trojans won the Continental Amateur Baseball Association College World Series in Elgin, Illinois. Dustin Zizelman pitched 19 innings and registered a 0.37 ERA.

August,1987 News: The “Bush Bandits” struck again, pulling 15 trees and bushes from a Eastmoreland Drive lawn in Oregon. In a two-month period, the unknown flora felons made off with 73 bushes and trees ranging in value from a $12 evergreen to a $135 Japanese maple. The plant poachers operated between the late night and early morning hours. Police had no clues as to who pilfered the shrubs. A local landscaper told The Press a thief could uproot a shrub in less than a minute “if the guy knows what he’s doing and has a sharp shovel.” *** The 22nd edition of the German American Festival returned home to Oak Shade Grove. The Lucas County Rec Center had been the home of the festival for the previous 14 years.

That said, I have reached my wits end with “Obamacare.” I tend to get sick once a year. That sickness (sinus infection) normally results in a $54 doctor visit and a $36 dollar prescription for a “Z-pack” (antibiotic). However due to the ACA, I am being forced to spend $2,500 dollars a year in order to comply with the government mandated health insurance. Furthermore, by declining to partake in this absurd demand being forced onto me; as a citizen of a so-called free country I am required to pay a penalty of $700 that is taken out of my tax return.

Being a life-long Democratic voter, I can officially state, I will never vote for a Democrat ever again. The jig is up and I think it is about time Washington D.C. be held accountable for its terrible policies. Regardless of the mainstream media bias, the American people are no longer naive to the failure of those elected to public office. Brandon Joseph Barber Oregon

Thoughtfulness appreciated To the editor: Thanks to everyone for

a wonderful open house held for my retirement from the Village of Elmore. More people came than I ever thought possible and the cards sent were greatly appreciated. Thanks to my fellow employees, the board of public affairs and village council. A heartfelt thanks to the Village of Oak Harbor for the special thoughtfulness as well as the Village of Genoa and Village of Pemberville, all of which were always wonderful to work with. A special thanks to American Municipal Power, which I’ll miss. I’ve certainly made some very good friends over my 35-year career. Buck Stoiber Elmore

Bay Park Clinic helps patients manage COPD By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com A new Pulmonary Clinic at ProMedica Bay Park Hospital is helping patients with COPD and respiratory disorders manage their conditions to promote improved quality of life and reduced hospital admissions. The clinic, which opened in February, is ProMedica’s fourth clinic – the others are at ProMedica Toledo and Flower hospitals and ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital in Michigan. “We looked at COPD admission rates for the system and we rolled the clinic openings based on that,” said Annette Greenhagen, administrative director for respiratory services for ProMedica. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung disease that restrict air flow and cause trouble breathing such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COPD is the thirdleading cause of death in the United States. An estimated 15 million American suffer from COPD. Tobacco use is the primary cause of COPD. Air pollutants, occupational conditions, aging and genetics are also linked to the disease. COPD causes increasing breathlessness, coughing and mucous production. Over time, it can limit ability to perform normal daily activities. Respiratory therapist Phil Mitten, program coordinator for the Pulmonary Disease Management Program at ProMedica, sees patients at the Bay Park clinic. “The program typically starts on the inpatient side, but physicians can refer patients to the clinic as well,” he said. “Patients may also call the clinic themselves to see if they may benefit from services.” Most patients see Mitten once or twice, typically within 14 days after discharge from the hospital. “When they come in, the first thing I like to do is go over what COPD is, so pa-

tients know exactly what caused their disease and how a physician diagnosed it,” he said. “We found that oftentimes, patients just don’t have enough information or don’t understand it well. “Then we talk about what is happening physiologically inside his or her body and what we might do to offset those effects of the disease,” Mitten said. “I also conduct a full respiratory assessment, listening to breath sounds, checking oxygen in their blood, going through a questionnaire to help determine severity of the patient’s condition,” Mitten said. “We go over a number of things – discussing smoking cessation is very important if the patient smokes; and proper use of medications – what the physician has prescribed, how to properly take the medications, etc. “Many patients are unclear on that,” Greenhagen said. “Research shows that 80 percent of people who have inhalers use them incorrectly.” “Sometimes they aren’t taking medications because they may be having side effects or other concerns, and I can call the doctor to discuss substitutes or get other suggestions,” Mitten said. “We also go over the mechanics of some breathing techniques that can reduce shortness of breath,” he said. “For example, we discuss recognizing symptoms and the importance of taking action before they get to a point where they’re so short of breath that they can’t walk across a room. “In addition to working with the patient’s primary care physician or pulmonologist, we also assess if the patient may need additional services, such as social services, a nutritionist or possibly pulmonary rehab, and then we connect them with those services,” Mitten said. “The goal is to come up with an action plan to help patients self-manage – to put the big picture together so they feel better and stay out of the hospital.” For more information about the Pulmonary Clinic at Bay Park Hospital, call 419-690-7855.

Get accurate diagnosis before starting arthritis treatments By Cheryl Lampkowski-Sowle Administrator, Heartland of Perrysburg Arthritis is a disorder of the joints that cause pain, inflammation and reduced mobility in the affected areas. This disorder can be limited to just one joint or can affect numerous joints throughout the body. Arthritis is the general “umbrella” term for more than 100 associated joint disorders. Because there are so many different forms of arthritis, it is important to get an accurate diagnosis from your physician before moving forward with any form of physical or medical therapy.

Signs and symptoms – Although there are more than 100 forms of arthritis, there are general signs and symptoms that occur in most of them. These symptoms include joint pain, swelling around the joints, stiffness of one or more joints (especially in the morning), redness on the skin around the affected joint, heat or warmness in the joint, general fatigue (in certain types). Treatment – Treatment depends heavily on the type of arthritis you have and the severity of it. Some causes of the disorder are not curable. In cases such as this, the treatments would be highly focused on pain management and limiting the progres-

arthritis, but is often coupled with a physical therapy plan. The main medicine of choice for most arthritis types is acetaminophen (Tylenol). Make sure to consult your physician before starting an acetaminophen regimen, so you can decide what the correct dosage is for you. There are also other over-thecounter drugs that could help including aspirin and ibuprofen. Ask your doctor if these are right for you or if there are any prescription drugs that would be more appropriate for your specific type of arthritis.

Starting a regiment of low-impact exercises, including walking and swimming can help to keep the joints loose and prevent them from stiffening.

Summer vacation from school is almost over and that means it’s time for parents to begin thinking about backto-school season. Along with the back-to-school necessities the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) wants to remind parents to make sure their kids are up-to-date on their vaccines against diseases. To emphasize the importance of vaccinations, and to make sure that children are protected with all the immunizations they need, ODH is partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in recognizing August as National Immunization Awareness Month. “When parents are thinking about their back-to-school checklists, vaccines should be at the top of the list,” said ODH State Epidemiologist and Bureau Chief of Infectious Diseases Sietske de Fijter. “Getting children all of the vaccines recommended by CDC’s immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children’s health as well as the health of classmates and the community.” Unvaccinated children are at an increased risk for contracting vaccinepreventable diseases like measles, mumps and rubella. They also may spread diseases, like pertussis, which are serious or potentially life-threatening for high-risk individuals such as infants who are too young to be fully vaccinated and others who have weakened immune systems. “If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to check with your doctor to find out what vaccines your child needs, and when,” said de Fijter. This fall will be the second school year that the new meningococcal vaccine requirement is in effect under Ohio Revised Code. All incoming seventh-graders must have one dose of the meningococcal vaccine, and all incoming 12th graders must have a second dose of the vaccine. For info on the meningococcal vaccine and other requirements, visit www.odh.ohio.gov/immunization.

Communities play role in supporting moms Breastfeeding is a personal choice, but communities play a vital role in informing and supporting a mother’s decision to breastfeed her baby. Wood County Health District is reminding families of the benefits of breastfeeding during Breastfeeding Awareness Month. This year’s theme, “Breastfeeding: It’s a TEAM thing!” is intended to promote a supporting role in successful breastfeeding. Research shows that if a mother’s breastfeeding efforts are supported, she is more likely to give it a try, and more likely to keep going even if things get tough. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding with the addition of appropriate solid food for the first year and beyond. Research suggests breastfeeding is a way to lower the risk of infections and diseases for both mothers and their babies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that Ohio’s 2016 breastfeeding rate of 77.7 percent ranks 38th in the nation.

“In light of the monetary and lifesaving benefits of breastfeeding, all elements of the community must cooperate and support breastfeeding. Ultimately, our whole society benefits from having healthier mothers, babies and children when breastfeeding is promoted, protected and supported,” said Jackie Mears, director of Wood County’s Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. One of the most important things the community can do is to allow mothers to feel comfortable nursing in public. Hungry babies need to eat, and Ohio law allows breastfeeding in public. Businesses can show their support by placing the “Breastfeeding Welcome Here” sign for breastfeeding in their windows and educating employees on the acceptance of breastfeeding in their establishments. They can also encourage their employees and provide a private space to pump, other than a bathroom. This will increase employee retention and reduce medical costs. Hospitals can adopt the “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding” to show they are dedicated to supporting new mothers who choose to breastfeed. By eliminating for-

mula gifts to breastfeeding mothers, they send the message that they believe mothers can make enough milk to breastfeed exclusively. Educational institutions can support breastfeeding by presenting age-appropriate information on anatomy and physiology. County fairs can teach young children about how other mammals feed their young with milk that is made just for them. Childcare providers and libraries can stock children’s books that show breastfeeding as a normal part of family life. Social media can provide support to breastfeeding mothers through Facebook and Twitter. Breastfeeding mothers can reach out through groups and chatrooms to get the support they need to feel normal in a formula-feeding culture. For more information about breastfeeding in Wood County, call the Help Me Grow Helpline at 1-800-755-GROW or Wood County WIC at 419-354-9661. The mission of Wood County Health District is to prevent disease, promote healthy lifestyles and protect the health of everyone in Wood County. Visit www. woodcountyhealth.org for more details.

Breakthrough device heals organs with a single touch Researchers demonstrate a process known as tissue nanotransfection at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. In laboratory tests, this process was able to heal the badly injured legs of mice in just three weeks with a single touch of this chip. The technology works by converting normal skin cells into vascular cells, which helped heal the wounds. (Photo courtesy of OSU Wexner Medical Center) The chip, loaded with specific genetic code or certain proteins, is placed on the skin, and a small electrical current creates channels in the tissue. The DNA or RNA is injected into those channels where it takes root and begins to reprogram the cells. In a new study published in Nature Nanotechnology, first author Daniel

Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch. The technology, known as Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), injects genetic code into skin cells, turning those skin cells into other types of cells required for treating diseased conditions. “It takes just a fraction of a second. You simply touch the chip to the wounded area, then remove it,” said Chandan Sen, PhD, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine and Cell-Based Therapies at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “At that point, the cell reprogramming begins.” In a series of lab tests, researchers applied the chip to the injured legs of mice that vascular scans showed had little to no blood flow. “We reprogrammed their skin cells to become vascular cells,” Sen said. “Within a week we began noticing the transformation.” By the second week, active blood vessels had formed, and by the third week, the legs of the mice were saved — with no other form of treatment. “It extends the concept known as gene therapy, and it has been around for quite some time,” said study collaborator James Lee, PhD, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Ohio State. “The difference with our technology is how we deliver the DNA into the cells.”

How can you restore someone’s trust in you again? From the American Counseling Association Anyone who has experienced a breach of trust knows the pain and confusion that can go into trying to restore that trust. Any number of circumstances can cause us to lose trust. It can be a fairly minor incident, like a teen being late for a few too many curfews, or a major one, like an infidelity in a relationship. The person who lied feels he or she can never do enough to be trusted again. The deceived person probably feels it would be foolish to become too accepting too soon. If you want someone to regain their trust in you, try these tips that can help: • Don’t make excuses. Apologize and affirm that you won’t behave in the same

The

Counseling Corner manner again. Blaming someone else or claiming something happened beyond your control won’t help regain trust. • Deliver on your promises. Even in areas that might seem trivial, you can build trust by doing what you say you will do. If you say you’ll call if you’re going to be late, call. If you say you’ll do the laundry, do it.

Ottawa County health clinics The Ottawa County Health Department has released the clinic schedule for Aug. 14-18. Unless otherwise stated, all clinics are held at the health department, 1856 E. Perry St., Port Clinton. Clinic dates and times are — Aug. 14: Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Clinic, 7:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Aug. 15: 60-Plus Clinic – Port Clinton Senior Center, 9 a.m.-noon; Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Clinic, 12:45-

4:30 p.m. Aug. 16: Family Planning Clinic, 8-10:30 a.m.; Immunization Clinic (including flu/pneumonia shots), 2-6:30 p.m.; Tuberculosis Clinic (no appointment necessary), 3-4 p.m. Aug. 17: Well Child, Family Planning and STD Clinic, 8-11 a.m.; 60-Plus Clinic – Port Clinton Senior Center, 9 a.m.-noon. Aug. 18: Tuberculosis Clinic (no appointment necessary), 3-4 p.m. For home health, call 419-734-6800.

No forgetting, no having to be reminded, no offering excuses. • Expect the healing process to take time. Expect it to take more time than you thought it would, and probably more time than you think your original mistake deserves. The truth is that rebuilding trust is a slow process, one that requires repeated demonstrations of you being honest and following through, before trust begins to return. If you are the person who was deceived, you can help in the rebuilding of trust if you really value your relationship with the other person. You can start by paying attention to the things he or she is doing to try and reestablish your trust in them. Appreciate the effort that’s being made, as opposed to the other person just expecting

you to “get over it.” Though at first, it may seem as if a broken trust can never be repaired, people have a marvelous ability to make amends. The tough part is holding on through the rebuilding phase while consistency replaces doubt, time reduces discomfort and forgiveness replaces anger. If, despite these efforts, problems with trust and honesty persist in your family, or if anger prevents movement toward forgiveness, a consultation with a professional counselor might help fine-tune your relationships and get you moving toward healthier communication. Direct comments and questions to ACAcorner@counseling.org or visit www. counseling.org.

Stone Lab lecture series available for online viewing Stone Lab, Ohio State University’s Gibraltar Island campus on Lake Erie, wrapped up its 2017 Guest Lecture Series on August 3 with “Ohio Fisheries Management,” presented by Rich Carter from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. An archive of the 2017 series, along with previous years’ presentations, is available at youtube.com/ohioseagrant/playlists. “The guest lecture series is a great way to get an overview of current research into the most important issues facing Lake Erie,” said Dr. Chris Winslow, Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Lab’s director. “Streaming the series online not only gives us a chance to archive these presentations for the future, but also opens them up to people who otherwise may not have a chance to hear from these scientists and professionals directly.” Speakers this year covered topics ranging from careers in the green industry to forecasting Lake Erie’s harmful algal blooms. Scientists introduced ongoing research into the effects of algal toxins on produce and the impacts of climate change on turtles, while agency leaders spoke about sustainable port infrastructure and horizontal drilling. Students in Stone Lab’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Scholarship Program presented the results of their research projects, studying everything from the importance of bird preserves on the Lake Erie islands to the effect of sediments and floating algae on walleye vision. REU students work with Great Lakes scientists for five weeks on an original project while taking a course at Stone Lab. Many of the students go on to present their results at professional conferences, giving them a head start on graduate school applications or careers in the sciences.

Obituary Joshua James Coy 3/18/1998 ~ 8/3/2017

Joshua James Coy, 19, passed away on August 3, 2017 at Magruder Hospital as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He was born on March 18, 1998 in Vancouver, WA, the son of Cynthia (Cowdrey) and Dale Coy. Joshua was a 2015 graduate of Oak Harbor High School and had just completed 2 years of college at Terra State Community College. He was enrolled at BGSU, and had plans to attend this fall, majoring in Special Needs Education because of his love of working with children. He had a deep love for animals, especially horses, dogs, cats and reptiles. At one time, he had 22 reptiles. He was a caring, giving & selfless person. He always offered to carry groceries or shovel snow for those in need, without being asked or having the expectation of getting paid. Joshua had a joy for life and was enthusiastic about his future. He had the hopes of becoming a teacher, husband and father, and being an integral part of their lives. Those left to cherish his memory are his loving parents: Dale and Cynthia Coy of Oak Harbor, OH; Maternal Grandfather: Nelson Cowdrey, Temperance, MI; Aunt: Norma (WD) Campbell, Xenia, OH; Uncles: Robert (Vicki) Coy, Xenia, OH and Michael (Kitty) Coy, Orlinda, TN. Joshua was preceded in death by his Paternal Grandparents: Robert M. and Nellie V. Coy; Maternal Grandmother: Carolyn Cowdrey; Aunt Debra (Cowdrey) Schetter; Uncle Michael Cowdrey and many cousins. Joshua loved the Pacific Ocean, having lived in California for 5 years, and he will return to his favorite beach in Del Mar, California. Joshua gave in death, as he gave in life, as he was an organ/tissue donor. Joshua's parents would like to thank Mid County EMS, Magruder Hospital, Ottawa County Sheriff, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol for their heroic efforts on Joshua, Cora and Barbie's behalf. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to benefit Autism awareness through: Pathway Inclusion Center, P.O. Box 528140, Port Clinton, OH 43452 or The ARC of Ottawa County, P.O.

Author to speak The author of a historical book about The Ohio State University football program will give a talk and sign copies of his book on Sunday, Aug. 20, at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums. Robert J. Roman will discuss his book “Ohio State Football: The Forgotten Dawn.” Copies of the book will be available for sale. The event begins at 2 p.m. in the museum auditorium. Admission is free. In his book, Roman draws on extensive archival research to share the untold story of the early days of football at OSU. The game was very different from what it is today. Fields were rarely level and often rocky. Coaches were not allowed to communicate with players during the game. Roman uncovered colorful stories from the team’s past. A private university didn’t allow its team to travel to Columbus to play the Buckeyes because it worried the vulgar, “Godless” public university students might corrupt the private school team. After a victory at a school in Kentucky, an OSU team was chased by an angry mob of stone-throwing locals.

The book also includes references to Rutherford B. Hayes, who helped to found OSU while he was governor of Ohio. For info, call 419332-2081 or visit rbhayes. org.

Velliquette, Livewire qualify, place at Ohio State Fair

“

By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com

He really became a different horse. Once he realized she was good to him and that she was persistent...

“

Seventeen-year-old Graytown resident McKenna Velliquette had been a Reserve Grand Champion contester at the Ottawa County Fair and qualified in equestrian competition two consecutive years for the Ohio State Fair. You can now add three straight years, and this time she placed 10th out of 78 competitors during the statewide event. For Velliquette and her family, it’s been a long journey that ended well. Velliquette is a medical technology honor roll student who will be a senior at Penta Career Center (Oak Harbor) this fall and works two part-time jobs. She plans to study to become a registered nurse after graduation from Penta. However, her success in equestrian competition took a different route this summer. In her previous award winning seasons, she successfully partnered with younger horses, but this year she took an older horse and made him a champion, too. “She trained a horse in all patterns at about age 8 who actually had some speed and did quite well on her,” said mother Ginger Velliquette. “Last year she trained a 6-year-old we rescued in just two months for the fair and won three ribbons with her. “She has had a few unlucky years prior to this year with a few horses we bought that were either injured or had unacceptable behavior that we would not allow her to run. She remained a champ always, hoping to find a comparable fast partner like she had three years prior, named Fly. They were a team for four good years. “This year, in February, she found her dream partner, “Livewire,” online. Yes, Dad drove her to West Virginia to look at him on a Friday and we picked him up the next morning. She tricked her dad and told him it was four hours away, and then one hour into the trip she told him it was six hours away. Mckenna never can find them close,” Ginger continued. “Checking out horses on these horse trips is exciting, fun quality time and unforgettable memories for all of us. We picked him up in Pennsylvania the next morning — a few hours closer to a show they hauled him to for us.” It might be noted that Livewire turned 15-years-old this year and is a 15-hand quarter horse. “Once weather broke and dried up, she began riding him at home,” Ginger continued. “He only knew barrels, so she would practice all the other six patterns he needed to know for fair in the backyard at a walk and trot and condition him in our trails as he was not in shape and hadn’t been run hardly at all in the last three years. “It is always so scary as a parent as your child begins riding a new fast horse. As a mom, I feel so much better after they get a few shows under their belt as each horse acts differently and the rider has to figure them out and their every move and they have to get used to each other, while running full speed. “Her 23-year-old sister, Morgan Velliquette, was also a county fair grand champion and Ohio State Fair placer in speed. She wanted to accomplish what big sis did and did just that this year in just a few months working with Livewire.” Ginger said early this summer is when McKenna and Livewire started taking their

that she was persistent, knew what she was doing, and he would have to do what she wanted him to do, he started to want to please her and he did just that. He now adores her, does what he didn’t do, and gives it his all every run until the end of every show. She even changed his tack to less severe and he loves it and obeys her wonderfully in it.”

At top, Penta Career Center senior McKenna Velliquette and Livewire running barrels at the Ottawa County Fair. In the lower photo, Velliquette and Livewire running “flags,” which is described as “a difficult-run full speed event where you pick a stick out of a bucket of sand on top of a barrel,” which is what Velliquette did in this picture and she then came around full speed to pick up another bucket of sand on a different barrel while still running full speed. She then had to stick it in the barrel of sand as she went by, and she got it on the first try. (Photos courtesy Studio 316 Designs) training seriously. “The beginning of June we began taking her to shows to practice full speed what she had been teaching him in the backyard and run barrels, of course. Well, Livewire was not an angel when we started taking him and he had a whole different gear than a few of our other fast horses. He is super crazy fast. “McKenna was excited because she

said she could feel it when she tried him. He didn’t want to load, didn’t want to go in the ring, and was scared of everything. With persistence, many phone calls to the old owner with numerous questions, and constant work, this young cowgirl in just a few months turned this horse around,” Mom continued. “He really became a different horse. Once he realized she was good to him and

Started with Gymkhana classes McKenna’s run to the Ohio State Fair began with a top award at the county fair. “She reached her goal of what she dreamed of this year, getting the 2017 Ottawa County Fair Senior Grand Champion Gymkhana award, taking six firsts out of the eight Gymkhana classes at the county fair,” Ginger said. “Also, this year they gave out, for the first time, a huge Sportsmanship Trophy amongst the horse 4-H competitors and our superintendant said it was unanimous that they all voted for McKenna, stating she is always out in the arena and will help any kid with turning a barrel, etc., and who continually wears a smile on her face. As her mom, I am so proud of her. She not only wears a continuous smile, but is always so sweet and kind to everyone.” “Also, she met another one of her goals this year when she and Livewire qualified for the Ohio State Fair. We tell her it is such an accomplishment just to qualify to go, as times are very tight to make it for gymkhana (i.e. speed classes). Better yet, at the state fair on July 28 they continued to amaze us and placed 10th out of 78 horses in Keyhole (a down and back pattern, but you have to weave around the end pole without knocking two poles set in front of it). They ran this pattern in 8.977 seconds and received a big baby blue ribbon. The old owners are so happy and proud of them, too.” Ginger says McKenna’s run did not end in Columbus. Instead, it continued at other county fairs. “They have been doing amazing at the local shows we have been going to, also. Last weekend, we took her to Seneca County Fair and they ran their first 16.9 and a 17 flat second large barrel pattern and ran two 7.9 second down and back patterns.” Ginger says the amazing thing is how well McKenna and Livewire, especially considering the quarter horse was 15 years old, were able to bond so well together. “It takes a full year to get to really know your new horse, so they have done more than amazing in just the few months they have worked together and we are really proud of them,” Ginger said. “She gave up sports years ago, as horses take a lot of time and practice, not to mention the chores twice a day all year long.”

The initial diagnoses seemed harmless enough, but it turned into a bigger problem for Genoa graduate Logan Scott. Scott, the starting quarterback at Defiance College as a junior last season, was having a solid game against Hanover (Ind.) College on Oct. 29. On one play, however, he planted his foot and felt a twinge in his right knee. Scott passed for 271 yards and three touchdowns in the Yellow Jackets’ 27-20 loss, but he missed the final four minutes of the game because of the knee injury. “They tested it after the game and thought it was just a strain,” said Scott, who tore the ACL in his left knee as a junior at Genoa and as a sophomore at Defiance. “I iced it and rested and I played the last two games at probably 60 percent.” Scott said he took six weeks off after the season to rest the knee. He started lifting again, but his knee “gave out” a couple times during spring practices. Scott said he knew something was wrong based on how he felt after his previous two knee injuries. He had surgery on his right knee on June 29 and said he hoped to be off crutches on Aug. 9. This most recent ACL tear officially ended Scott’s playing career. “I knew I couldn’t play on it this year with how it was,” he said. “I wanted to get it checked out, hoping it was the meniscus and I could get it cleaned up. (X-rays) showed a completely torn ACL and meniscus tear. It was bone on bone and I was getting arthritis really bad. They were surprised I was still walking. “I was hoping I could get one more year out of my knee, but it didn’t work out. I never told anybody but I knew it was worse than it was. I didn’t want people to find out. I was disappointed just because of the timing of it. You get better to build up as a senior and it gets taken away from you like that.” The Yellow Jackets’ first-year head coach, Aaron Mershman, has been on Defiance’s staff for three years and is familiar with the intangibles Scott brings to the

program. Mershman said Scott, who threw for 1,659 yards and 18 touchdowns with 13 interceptions last season, was the clear-cut starter for 2017 “He would have been the guy,” Mershman said. “He’s such a great leader. Now we’re sitting here with a wide-open QB battle going into the season. His backup (senior John McKinney) has done a pretty good job growing up over the summer and trying to be the guy. We brought in a group of freshmen who can spin the ball and they have some athletic ability, but it’s hard to lose a team captain and senior quarterback.” Scott, 21, said the Defiance coaches, including former head coach Casey Goff, asked him in late April if he wanted to stay with the team to mentor the quarterbacks. Scott jumped at the opportunity. “I told them I still wanted to be around my friends,” Scott said, “but I have enough knowledge that I know I can help. John is stepping in for the first time since he played (quarterback) in high school. I’m going to be here for school anyways and I figured I could help out. I like coaching, but I know I’m not going to do that as as career.” McKinney will try to help the Yellow Jackets improve on last year’s 5-5 finish, which included a 4-4 record in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. McKinney completed 6-of-9 passes for 100 yards a year ago. “He’s one of my best friends, so I’m around him a lot anyways,” Scott said. “He works really well with me. When I told the coaches I wouldn’t play anymore, they asked me to stick around and I’ve helped (McKinney) out a lot. He’s improved a lot since the spring. Scott, the senior class president at Genoa, is 16 credits shy of graduating with a degree in molecular biology pre-med and a minor in chemistry. He plans to attend medical school and become an orthopedic surgeon. “I’ve had a lot of knee problems, and I’m really good at anatomy,” Scott said. “I’ve done an internship with a lot of specialties and that’s the (specialty) that’s interested me the most.” Logan is the son of Brett and Krista Scott.

Terry’s Auto & Truck Repair Dear All and Future Customers of Terry’s Auto & Truck Repair, I wanted to take the time to thank you for being a customer of mine. It has been brought to my attention that there has been some talk regarding the shop. Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with cancer. I am receiving treatment and overall doing well. With this, I cannot be at the shop full time. Recently, I hired a service advisor who will be able to assist you and answer your questions when I am unavailable. The automotive repair, heavy duty truck repair, and farm equipment repair will continue as it has been. I assure you that business will be operating as usual. As of August 1, 2017, we will no longer be offering 24/7 heavy duty towing and road service. The automotive and light truck towing will be available to our customers. Again, I want to thank you for being a loyal customer of mine. We are and will continue to assist you with your complete auto and truck repair needs. Sincerely, Terry Witt, President/Owner TBW Enterprises, Inc. dba Terry’s Auto & Truck Repair 419-836-7461 Autumn Schmidt, radio host Dave Truman, professional Min-G Kim, Olivia Jackson, and Leigh Snyder after their round at the Marathon Classic LPGA Pro-Am.

Eagles, Flyers’ goals same — to win a league championship Eastwood girls’ golf likes its chances of winning a Northern Buckeye Conference title this season. Three seniors lead the way, including the reigning NBC Player of the Year, Leigh Snyder. Snyder and fellow seniors Solona Lopez and Megan Hosely are joined by junior Hannah Shaffer and three sophomores — Sarah Ameling, Kendra Hagg and Olivia Rufner — who also figure into the mix for Coach John Cavendish’s club. “I think the NBC is going to be really tight this year. It’s going to be nip and tuck and it will be fun for the coaches, but I don’t know about the players,” said Cavendish. “If Leigh and Solona step up, we have a good chance of winning the league. They are my two leaders. “I need to see our short game improve just a bit. I need two putts instead of three puts — one chip instead of two chips. And I really think that, not just for their individual games, but for the team, will help. The skills are there, it just depends on them and how hard they want to work. If we improve our short game, we will be successful. From the tee to the green, we are fine.” Snyder got to play at the Marathon Classic’s LPGA Pro-Am golf scramble in Sylvania last month, helping her team finish third. At Highland Meadows, her teammates were professional golfer Min-G Kim, Lake golfer Autumn Schmidt, Rossford golfer Olivia Jackson and Dave Truman, who is one of the Great Lakes Golf Today radio hosts on 106.5 The Ticket Saturday mornings. Snyder, who is considering playing golf at the collegiate level, says she expects her teammates and herself to stay focused. “As a senior, I would love to go to districts. I don’t think Eastwood has sent anyone to districts since (state champion and now LPGA golfer) Alyssa Shimel. Even if I just made it to districts that would be one step. I would love to win Player of the Year again. There’s so much competition, it’s anyone’s game. I know I’m going to be met with a lot of competition It’s going to be tight. I have high expectations for this year. I hope to achieve a few more things than I did last year. “I would like to see us win the NBC. The last few years, we haven’t been where we wanted to, and I don’t see why can’t be there. I think it’s about the amount of effort we put in. We always put in a lot of effort at practice, but it’s going to need to be a lot more practice rounds and open gyms. The whole idea of us sitting down together as a team (and) where our mental game needs to be is important — we need to sit down and figure out how to remain calm and hit better shots following a bad shot and being there for each other and realizing what needs to be done.” Flyers set goals high, too Schmidt, a junior, is joined on Lake’s team by seniors Sam Hoffman, Jessica Middaugh, fellow junior Aubrie

Kunkleman and sophomore Kim Zoltani. Gone are Maddy Mackiewicz and Emilee Kunkelman, previously two of the Flyers’ best golfers. Both earned All-NBC honors last season. Schmidt’s goals are similar to her LPGA Pro-Am teammate, Snyder, and her team’s goals match Eastwood’s team goals. “My expectations for the season are that I would like to be Player of the Year in the NBC. I feel like I have the ability. I’d like to do well at sectionals and get to districts and keep moving forward,” Schmidt said. “I was one stroke from making it to districts last year, so that is motivating me. I feel that we have a really good shot at winning the league this year. We have a lot of girls who are trying really hard.” Lake coach Jeff Gajdostik added, “Autumn is probably the best player. She’s going to be No. 1 for the year, followed by Zoltani, Middaugh, Hoffman and Kunkleman. That’s how we stack up right now. Autumn should be in the 40s, I’d like to see her get down into the low 40s and high 30s. If she keeps improving, there’s no reason she can’t average in the high 30s. She’s that good. Zoltani is pretty good, too. Middaugh has gotten a lot better, she’s shown big improvement,” “Golf is about how hard you work at it — not just practices and matches. They seem like a pretty dedicated group, they’re a good group of girls. I’ve only been with them a few months. As long as we keep improving, that’s all you can ask. “The team as a whole is pretty decent. I think we should be able to win the league. Our goal should be to win sectionals, or to make it and then go to districts. We have a pretty solid group of girls. We’ll see how we improve throughout the year. Gajdostik says his golfers will have to put in the work if they hope to compete for a league title. “They’re all dedicated to the sport. I’m not expecting them to hit 200 balls a day like some tour players. I make it very clear, it’s very hard to get better if you don’t practice on your own,” he said. “I’m more interested in the girls getting better individually and pushing themselves. A few of them have seen the improvements already. They’re taking lessons. It’s what you put into it — that will be the difference.” Lake’s opening performance was a 210274 victory over Fremont Ross. Schmidt shot a 45, followed by Zoltani (51), MIddaugh (56) and Hoffman (58).

Comets hope early matches are sign of things to come Three of Genoa’s seniors have been among the top golfers on the team during their first three years. Now, they hope great things will come in their final season. So far, things are looking good for the Comets. Seniors Gabe Scott, Austin Marley and Owen Phillips have been top golfers for Coach Mike DeStazio’s club three straight seasons, and even the coach believes big things could happen in their last hurrah. First on their bucket list is a Northern Buckeye Conference championship, and they’ll go from there. “You can’t replace experience. They’ve been through some bad times when they were freshmen where we couldn’t break 400. Every year, they’ve gotten better, and this is their year,” said DeStazio. “If they play to their potential, they have a very good chance to win the NBC and get to districts. It’s exciting to coach kids with this kind of potential. We have a personal goal for an 18-hole score — we want to try and shoot a 320. That is a hard score (to attain).” Genoa has fared well in its first three tournaments, finishing second (333) at the Hohenstein Invitational, fifth (327) at the Knight Invite and ninth (355) at the Allen East Invite, respectively. The Hohenstein Invite at Green Hills was the season opener, one that saw Scott shoot an 81 with Ethan Smith right behind him at 82 and Phillips (84) and Marley (86) rounding out the scoring. At the Knight Invite, which featured bigger schools, Marley had a 77, Smith shot a 79, Scott finished with an 83 and Phillips an 88. Isaac Phillips has also contributed, finishing fifth on the team at the Knight Invite (89) and tying for second on the team with a 90 at the Allen East Invite. “It was tremendous,” DeStazio said of his team’s performance at the Hohenstein Invite. “I don’t want to make this sound bad, but I think we were better than the 333 that day. Our championship is at Green Hills in Clyde, so that was encouraging. The best we’ve shot as a team is 327 and that’s our best score in three years — that was at Heatherdowns at the St. Francis (Knight) Invite, where we finished in fifth

place. That came among some very big Division I schools. That was a tremendous outing for us.” It’s a team that has plenty of balance, with numerous golfers who can contribute at any given time. Mason Hogan, the fourth senior, figures into the mix, as do sophomores Brock Pallauf and Brady Linker and freshman Tommy Giles. DeStazio likes his depth and also has a good feeling about Smith, who is a sophomore. “The one kid who probably puts pressure on himself is Ethan Smith. His goal is to go to state before he’s done playing. That’s a great goal to have,” said DeStazio. “I think he’s going to be a very good golfer because he plays every day. I believe as a coach that you’re going to get better every day than you will with someone giving you lessons. I think that’s what Ethan is going to do. He’s not going to be happy if he’s not breaking 80. That’s what kind of kid he is.” DeStazio says team golf is an interesting dynamic because it’s an individual game within a larger game, unlike how it’s played in the professional ranks. DeStazio hopes his seniors can provide a leadership role, something he’ll need from all four. “I need my seniors to encourage the younger players because they’ve been there. I need them to be a little better at course management. I need them to not necessarily be the low man, but to be encouraging for the younger kids. I think that’s what these nine players can do. Any of these players could be the low man in any tournament,” he said. “As seniors, I’m expecting them to encourage the younger players to be the low man.”

The Ottawa County commissioners have approved the renewal of a Community Reinvestment Area agreement with Northern Manufacturing. The agreement went into effect in January 2015 when the company expanded its facility in Lake Winds Industrial Park. Northern Manufacturing received a 60 percent exemption on property taxes for 15 years. The company constructed a facility with an additional 90,000 square feet of space at a cost of about $2.5 million and committed to retaining its 150 employees. The company is a precision fabricator of custom sheet metal parts and assemblies and specializes in precision stainless steel fabrications including all stainless steel alloys. Jamie Beier Grant, director of the Ottawa County Improvement Corp., said the county’s Tax Incentive Review Council voted to recommend the continuation of the CRA agreement based on the company satisfying its obligations. “The company has met and continues to maintain both of the obligations it made – construction of the building addition and retention of the 150 jobs.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Be Your Own Hero Works of fiction are sometimes disparaged by those with a practical bias as being useless, or at best, a harmless diversion. They would rather read non-fiction, presumably because it gives them knowledge which they can actually use. But fiction often teaches us valuable lessons about how to live life, how to handle adversity, and what it is to be human in difficult circumstances. Furthermore, we are sometimes struck by the realization that we might bend circumstances and events to our will, and in effect become the heroes of our own life. That is a valuable lesson, and

Genoa

one which can be learned from reading fiction, but also from reading biographies, autobiographies, and the narratives of the Bible. Becoming a hero usually starts, as it does in fiction, with conflict or adversity. From there, one must be inspired to resolve the conflict or deal with the adversity. “And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” —Romans 5: 2-4 NIV
