Jodi Gross, a long-time advocate for East Toledo, has been named the new executive director of the East Toledo Family Center. Gross replaces Kim Partin, who now works for ProMedica, according to Dave Yenrick, vice president of the center’s board of trustees. “Kim decided to move in a different direction,” said Yenrick. Gross, who has led the One Voice program at the center as a community builder for over six years, was one of three candidates who was interviewed for the top post, he said. “A search committee decided that Jodi was the best candidate,” he added. “The East Toledo Family Center is one of the most organized and active family centers in northwest Ohio as far as the number of employees, budgets, and number of programs and services it provides,” he said. “Jodi has some big shoes to fill, but she’ll do it because she’s been very acJodi Gross tive in East Toledo.”

Leaf piles no violation of code

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Right person Toni Moore, who is a member of the center’s board of trustees, and who was on the search committee, said Gross is an excellent choice to lead the center. “There were great candidates for this position. I think Jodi shined through with her knowledge of the Family Center and East Toledo,” said Moore. “She has been involved in One Voice for East Toledo for so many years, and has done an exemplary job with that.” Gross, said Moore, “understands the needs of the East Toledo community.” “That’s it in a nutshell. She really cares, and has for many years. She not only lives in East Toledo, but has been a part of

Lake Township officials said they are satisfied a parcel of land along Woodville Road being used to temporarily store large piles of leaves is in compliance with the township’s zoning regulations. Jim Mlynek, owner of Woodville Road Nursery, invited township officials to his business Wednesday to explain how he is converting leaves from several area municipalities and the township into compost. During the Aug. 15 meeting of the township trustees, four residents of Bailey Road had complained about the piles of leaves, saying they were causing an odor and possible drainage problems. They also questioned whether the site’s B-1 zoning classification was being followed. Mlynek purchased a parcel in January that sits adjacent to Bailey Road for use as what the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency calls a yard transfer facility. He explained his business has been accepting leaves from Lake Township for more than 25 years. The cities of Northwood and Oregon have been bringing their leaves to his business in the past few years and villages of Walbridge and Millbury have also started to do so. As landfilling yard wastes became illegal, municipalities have looked for other ways to process them. Mlynek said he purchased the parcel across Woodville Road from his nursery yard to give him “some elbow room” as the requests from municipalities to accept their leaves increased. The actual composting process is conducted at his nursery site and not in the parcel next to Bailey Road, Mlynek said Jeff Pettit, who chairs the township board of trustees, Jamie Stanley, township zoning inspector, and Mark Hummer, township administrator, accepted Mlynek’s inviContinued on page 4

Elmore looking to lower interest rates By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Hoping to benefit from more favorable interest rates, Elmore village officials have given the thumbs up to participating in a state program when the village renews notes used to finance upgrades to the village’s electric system. American Municipal Power, Inc., on behalf of the village, issued $750,000 in notes in 2012 to pay for the construction of an electric substation and a connection point with FirstEnergy’s transmission system. The remaining principal is now about

$510,000. An ordinance to have AMP issue renewal notes on the village’s behalf in the Ohio treasurer’s market access program was approved earlier this month by village council. In 2016, the interest rate for the note was 1.75 percent, according to the village fiscal office. The Ohio Market Access Program is designed to lower borrowing costs on shortterm notes issued by Ohio schools, cities and local governments. OMAP leverages the state’s high short-term credit rating to help improve market access for local governments and save money on debt service for Ohio municipal issuers.

Generally, political subdivisions issuing notes with a term of one year or less and a par amount of $3 million or less are eligible to participate. The program allows AMP to issue tax-exempt debt on behalf of member communities. Bonds or notes are issued by AMP and supported by the member community’s pledge to pay debt service from revenue collected by its electric fund. Because the amount financed for a specific project is not included when calculating the municipality’s regular bond cap, the service can provide communities extra flexibility and Continued on page 6

Bicyclist dismounts after U.S. Perimeter Ride

Volunteers needed The volunteer-run Black Swamp Arts Festival will be held Sept. 8-10 in downtown Bowling Green. Organizers have issued a call to fill the many volunteer spots still available. Volunteers are needed from set up on Friday morning through tear down on Sunday late afternoon. Gate monitors, who check those entering and exiting the beer garden area, and volunteers in the Youth Art area are in particular demand. “We are still in need of volunteers this year in a number of areas and are hoping the community will rally to pick up one or more of the shifts available,” said Todd Ahrens, who chairs the all-volunteer committee that presents the annual event. Sign up by visiting the festival’s website at www.blackswampfest.org and click on the Volunteer link at the top of the page. Most shifts are two to three hours long.

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 All It does feel mighty fine to be home at last…my U.S. Perimeter Ride has officially come to a conclusion! It was two years ago, on August 17, 2015, that I pedaled out of Toledo and set off for the East Coast, not knowing how long the ride would go and if I would be able to pedal the entire perimeter…just hoping to make it out of Ohio. I arrived home on Monday, August 14, 2017, around 3 pm, having completed the circuit of the country. My last day’s ride of 50 or so miles from Defiance to Toledo was exceptional under sunny skies and comfortable temperatures — really quite ideal riding conditions. I have to say that riding Old U.S. 24, which follows the Maumee River from Fort Wayne to Toledo, had to be one of the most pleasant jaunts of the journey. The condition of the roadway is excellent, and puts many of the country roads in other Midwestern states to shame. Yes…talking about you, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota! So good on you, Indiana and Ohio! About halfway between Defiance and Toledo, I was met by my friend Marsha, who had hosted me down in Florida, and her cycling friend Alvin. They had pedaled out to meet me and ride with me the final 30 or so miles, along with Jim, their sag wagon driver. We dined in style in Neapolis after WTOL Channel 11 caught up with me there for a final interview, https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=KTSXKZ-lgr4, and then hopped on the Wabash Cannonball Trail for the final push to my home in Sylvania Township (Toledo). I headed over to Buffalo Wild Wings where some people from different segments of my life had gathered to toast and quaff a few beers — fraternity brothers, boyhood friends and neighbors, Maumee Valley Habitat For Humanity folks, and some tennis chums. And that brought it to an end as I rode the final half mile back to my house, and pushed Floyd into the garage…and…was that a sigh of relief I heard from Floyd? A huge thank you to all of you for your words of encouragement and support for my U.S. Perimeter Ride, and your support for the two causes for which I rode: Save The Children and Habitat For Humanity.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ric Berlinski will present his field work with snow leopards in Kyrgyzstan as part of the global wild cat conservation organization, Panthera Conservation at a presentation Sunday, Aug. 27 at 1 p.m. at the Toledo Zoo. Dr. Berlinski, who is the zoo’s veterinarian and director of animal health and nutrition, will share memories and insights on the ongoing conservation work with the elusive “ghost cat” in the zoo’s newly renovated Malawi Event Center. Berlinski has volunteered with Panthera in the Sarychat- Ertash Strict Nature Reserve located just below the ice sheet at approximately 12,000 feet in the Tien Shen mountain range for the last two years. The presentation is free with zoo admission. For more info, visit toledozoo.org or call 419-385-4040.

Warrant arrest A Pennsylvania man was charged with escape, theft, possession of drugs and inducing panic Aug. 22 after Oak Harbor police received a call of a possible overdose at a local gas station. Cody A. Overmyer, 31, was alert when the officer arrived and refused treatment from an emergency medical service unit. He was taken into custody after officers learned he had several arrest warrants. He escaped from the police cruiser when the arresting officer stopped at the police station to get paper work. With assistance from other police departments he was located and taken to the Ottawa County Jail. He will be transported to Erie County.

tation. He described compost as “mother nature’s fertilizer.” The nursery has a class 3 license for composting and is required to send samples annually of the finished compost to an EPAapproved lab where it is tested for heavy metals and other impurities. Mlynek displayed a six-foot-high pile undergoing the compost process and described it as 80 percent leaves and 20 percent horse manure. The manure is donated by a local farmer. Water is added to aid bacteria growth and the pile is turned to work oxygen into it. Even with turning and manure, there is very little odor, he said, holding a handful to the township officials to smell. He estimates about a third of the leaves/manure mixture is degraded during the process which takes the better part of two years to complete. Mlynek described the finished material as a “soil amendment” that can be used to build the soil’s structure. The composting “business” operates on very thin margins and requires the use of expensive equipment such as screeners and grinders, he said. When he and his son began clearing the parcel next to Bailey Road of brush and small trees they found plastic containers, oil filters, cans and other debris. They left stand bushes and trees around the perimeter to act as a buffer. On Wednesday, two leaf piles about seven feet high and 50 feet long stood in the parcel. Mlynek said he invited the township representatives to the site because he wanted them to know there is no composting done on the parcel. “First of all, we’re legal,” he said, “and we were being vilified.”

Reward increased for park vandals’ arrest Owners of African Safari Wildlife Park are increasing the reward to $15,500 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators of the June 2016 vandalism at the park. Owners are concerned that the vandals may harm the animals if they are not apprehended. The Ohio Farm Bureau is continuing its support to spread the word about the reward, urging anyone who knows something to come forward and talk with the police. African Safari Wildlife Park is a member of the Ohio Farm Bureau (OFB) and is ac-

Millbury

credited by both the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) and the Zoological Association of America (ZAA). On the evening of June 28, 2016, African Safari was vandalized, several trees were cut down, and the fence was pried away from the post. The park has more than 60 surveillance cameras, and with the recent enhancements and improvements of facial recognition technology, consultants are optimistic that the perpetrators will soon be identified. Danbury Township Police have some leads and believe that it will just take one or

two more tips to solve the case. They have interviewed several area residents about the incident. “Any information in this case could be the key piece of evidence we need to arrest the person or persons responsible. The damage to the property was quite extensive. It was clearly malicious and we are looking into any information the community can offer,” said Sgt. Det. Mark Meisler. The reward will be paid to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator(s). Call the Danbury Police Department at 419-732-2549 with any info.

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 conflict or adversity. From there, one must be inspired to resolve the conflict or deal with the adversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Romans 5: 2-4 NIV

To be in the executive director position now allows me to build upon what we created on a bigger scale. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just privileged now to lead that effort. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about helping the community. We can only do that if we all work together.â&#x20AC;?

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Szozda What was your worst haircut or hairstyle of all time?

The Press Poll Do you think nuclear war with North Korea is likely? Yes. We can’t allow a dictator to threaten the U.S. with nuclear missiles. Yes. The North Korean dictator is unbalanced and unpredictable. No. A diplomatic solution must be found.

Ginny Gee Walbridge “We were on our way to South Dakota for a job I just got at Wall Drug. I always used the same brand of hair dye but they didn’t have it so I decided to try something new. It turned my hair bright purple! I called the company but the solution they gave me didn’t work. I decided to get my hair cut. By the time the hairstylist was done I was nearly bald! I showed up to my ſrst day on the job with super short purple hair!”

Chuck Gee Walbridge “I was with my wife and we both had to get haircuts before our new jobs. This woman cut my hair so short, it couldn’t be combed. I always kept my hair a medium long length and she gave me a G.I. haircut... a boot camp haircut!”

MOOSE Genoa “I’ve never had to cut it... Never had to style it. It always looks this good!”

Jason Brauer Northwood “My hair was really long and I had to get it cut for a job. That was the worst haircut I ever had. I hate short hair... It’s not me! So once I got the job I started growing it back out.”

Tom Mahas Millbury “I actually resist getting haircuts. I get them usually every 5 years. I stuck it out so long that for my 40th birthday my hair was past my shoulders. I leaned in to blow out my candles and my hair caught ſre. You wouldn’t believe how fast it singed off about 3 inches of it. So that was the worst my hair ever looked... even though my split ends were ſnally gone.”

...if the state and God tell us how not to live, who tells us how to live? Where do we look when creating our own personal code of ethics to aspire to, and inspire us?

“

We have so many laws telling us how not to live, we couldn’t read them all in a lifetime. There are federal laws, state laws, municipal laws and religious laws. One estimate claims there are more than 25,000 pages of laws on the federal books alone. There are laws that cover almost every aspect of human behavior. This shouldn’t be surprising. Humans have been making laws for at least 3,700 years since Hammurabi, a Babylonian ruler, issued his code of 282 laws (circa 1754 BC) to prevent the strong from harming the weak. Still, we behave badly. These laws are authoritative laws, that is, they have been conceive by a power greater than us — the state or a supreme being. They all come with a punishment if we disobey — a prison sentence, a fine, community service or, the fires of hell. These are the thou-shalt-not laws. They are designed to protect us, our families and our communities. Some prohibit killing, stealing, lying; others prohibit minor indiscretions such as jaywalking. Despite these laws and their consequences, some men challenge the authority of the state. They steal, lie or kill believing that the law does not apply to them. So, it is helpful to have The Ultimate Judge and the threat of hell. Voltaire, the French philosopher, wrote, If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. A belief in God benefits a civilized society. But, if the state and God tell us how not to live, who tells us how to live? Where do we look when creating our own personal code of ethics to aspire to, and inspire us?

Will we strive for excellence, or will we accept the just good enough? Will we show our opponents mercy or

will we exact maximum punishment? Will we find courage to do the right thing? Will we be humble in victory, or arrogant? Will we show compassion to those who hurt? Will we care for those in need? Will we be optimistic in seeking solutions, or will we surrender to pessimism? These are just a few questions we need to ask when developing our own personal thou-shall laws, a code of ethics to reflect our core values. Such a code of behavior speaks to the best in man; federal, state and religious laws speak to the worst. Pope Francis, in the little publicized and almost forgotten talk he gave in Malmo, Sweden this past November, addressed the best in mankind when he suggested six new beatitudes to add to those espoused by Jesus of Nazareth. They are: Blessed are those who remain faithful while enduring evils inflicted on them by others and forgive them from their heart; Blessed are those who look into the eyes of the abandoned and marginalized and show them their closeness; Blessed are those who see God in every person and strive to make others also discover him; Blessed are those who protect and care for our common home; Blessed are those who renounce their own comfort in order to help others and Blessed are those who pray and work for full communion between Christians. In other words, keep the faith, forgive your enemies, reach out to the homeless and poor, see the best in everyone and help

them see the best in themselves, care for the planet, give up some of your comfort to help the less fortunate and work to unite, not divide humankind. Add these to the beatitudes from Jesus Christ: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven; Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted; Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth; Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied; Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy; Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God; Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God and Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Books have been written about the meaning of each one of these beatitudes and their role in shaping spiritual character. The point is, whether this advice is given by a religious leader like Jesus or Pope Francis, or by a lay person, the beatitudes give us the components of a code that speaks to the best in us. It is not a code for sissies. It is one, on the other hand, that can keep us grounded in a fast-paced world in which morales and mores change with the times. It is a code that can serve others, make our home a better place and provide us with that inner peace that comes with doing the right thing. Comment to zoz@presspublications.com

GAF benefits Genoa FFA officers, members participate in fair teens, seniors The 52nd German-American Festival (GAF), the Toledo areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and largest ethnic festival, is expected to be its largest celebration to date. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival runs from Aug. 25-27 at Oak Shade Grove in Oregon. While traditions like the Steinstossen (rock throwing contest) and the Masskrugstemmen (beer stein holding contest) remain festival constants, the 2017 festival does bring a new feature: this year, the role of local charities has grown and several Knights of Columbus and area school teams will be the beneficiaries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always given back to the community through various scholarship programs,â&#x20AC;? said Jack Renz, festival chairman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we wanted to expand the role charities play in the festival. Any charity interested in staffing a portion of the GAF will receive a donation from the festival proceeds.â&#x20AC;? Volunteer organizations working the GAF this year include the Local Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Oregon-Northwood Rotary Club, Oregon Senior Center, Northwood Community Cares Committee, Knights of Columbus organizations, ZooTeens, Cedar Creek Church and local high school sports teams.

On July 12, Genoa FFA officers and members went to the Lucas County Fair. Brady Linker and Colleen Traver registered kids to sign up for the kiddie tractor pulls. Grant and Gary Goodman, Tyler Traver and Kaleb Kulhmen all helped by pushing the tractor back to the start after each kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn. Darcie Goodman and Amanda Meng stayed in the Babyland Barn to answer questions help kids doing crafts. At the end of the day, they swept the barn, which was covered in corn, soybeans, and straw. In addition, FFA members participated in competitions at the Ottawa County Fair. One of the first things the officers did at the fair was decorate the booth, which had the theme, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genoa FFA is your key to success.â&#x20AC;? Amanda Meng won Champion High Point performance, reserve champion showman of showmen, and top 10 at state fair Western Pleasure. Tyler Traver won grand champion beef carcass and reserve champion market beef. Gary Goodman won sheep showmanship. Darice Goodman won grand and reserve champion goat and second place steer. The Genoa FFA booth got a 95 out of 100 and received a ribbon.

Auditor set to retire soon Wood County Auditor Mike Sibbersen has announced his retirement effective Oct. 1. Sibbersen has 40 years of service in the office and is in his 24th year as auditor, having served longer than any previous auditor. “I am grateful to the citizens of Wood County for their many years of support and for a strong and experienced staff which has provided many years of solid service,” he said. “I am mindful of having great mentors in Harold Bateson and Jim Ryan, who taught me much.” Sibbersen also lauded the cooperation that he has received from present and former county officials, a model partnership not always possible in county government situations. “Wood County has a wealth of dedicated local government officials, and working with them through the years has been such a positive and fortunate experience. It has been a privilege to serve” he said. Sibbersen said that probably the most valuable changes that have occurred during his tenure in office are the creation of the website and the later addition of online real estate information and maps. He is

Pawsitively Pets Individuals and groups working to find lost dogs By Melissa Burden Pr Press Contributing Writer What would you do if your dog o cat came up missing? For many or p people, posting and asking for h help on Facebook may be the best wa to get your pet back quickly. way The social media site is home t sseveral pages and groups who to work hard to find lost pets and to pick w up stra strays and get them to a safe place. Page Pagess lik like Toledo Area Lost and Found Pets, Still Missing, Toledo Area Humane Societ ty ((TAHS), Lucas County Canine Society Care aand Control (LC4) and a multitude of Facebook community and garage sale pages are loaded with posts of missing pets as well as posts from those helping to find the lost animals. John Gibbs, the creator and owner of Still Missing, started the page several years ago in order to store photos and contact information from people looking for their lost pet. “I originally started the page as an open page to share and store all of the information and posters of missing and found dogs on Toledo Area Lost and Found Pets,” Gibbs said “I added a few people to help me out who showed the dedication to doing the right thing. I have now aligned myself with several area rescues and my group and I help them any chance I get.” Looking at any of the pages, you can see posts of people who have lost a pet, followed by posts from Still Missing and others actively looking for the pet. Many times, Gibbs sets traps, catches dogs that have been on the run for some time, and

kennels them at his home for some much needed “time out” time. “Many times a dog is so freaked out from being lost a long time, they need a place to decompress first,” Gibbs explained “It also gives me time to evaluate their medical and temperament needs. So I or one of my team will do the stray hold after we have reported the dog to LC4. Some dogs would not survive a shelter environment and need decompression, training, and medical help. If there is no owner found, I start messaging rescue groups to take the dog in.” Catching runaway dogs Gibbs, an auto mechanic by trade, has taken several dog training classes and has been active in dog rescue for a few years. He works with many organizations including the TAHS, to help dogs. He is now working on a huge Trap Neuter Release (TNR) program in Toledo, for a large colony of cats. He has trained a few people in how to set traps and catch the dogs who are running. He has several people throughout the area who volunteer their help daily. One member of his team is Carrie Grindle, of Oregon. Grindle is a paraprofessional with the Toledo Public Schools by day, expert dog wrangler by night, and on weekends. “I started helping a few years ago,” Grindle said. “The best part is finding the dogs, finding their homes and getting the dogs back to their owners. That is the best.” If someone posts about seeing a dog

Continued from page 12 running, roaming or a pet that is lost, more often than not, Grindle and a few others are the ones tagged and out looking for the dogs. “A lot of the time, these dogs are dumped,” Grindle said. “But if we are lucky, we get to reunite the dog with its owners.” One infamous dog named Mick Jagger, was reunited a year later with his owner in Ottawa Hills. Mick Jagger, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, was last seen in March, 2016, being put into a van outside his owner’s store in Cricket West. The dog was found last month by the High Level Bridge by two children. “Someone called Karen Reno, in East Toledo, about the dog,” Grindle said. “She and I worked together to get the dog to LC4 and it was reunited with his owner one year later. We do not know how the dog got to East Toledo, but it was a happy ending. You can never lose hope in finding your dog.” Grindle, who owns two dogs, three cats and a bird, is also fostering a cat named Bunny that has a spinal fusion. “Bunny was just thrown out of a car,” Grindle said. “I am fostering her now and hope to find her a good home. I have also worked with dogs that have been used in fighting. Still Missing and I have found rescues and homes for many dogs. We are doing everything we can to keep animals out of the wrong hands.” Karen Reno, of East Toledo agrees. Reno works alone to help animals, but has also helped Still Missing from time to time. Reno said trying to get and keep animals out of the wrong hands is never ending. She and another Still Missing volunteer have found the bodies of dogs they believe were used in fighting. They report the findings to TAHS and the Toledo Police Department. A dog was found in a plastic garbage bag in an alley in East Toledo. “We believe the dog was involved in fighting,” Reno said. “When we talk about keeping a dog out of bad hands, that is what we are talking about. We have our eyes on houses throughout the city and we have made reports. Hopefully we can get the fighting to stop. Reno rescues dogs and picks up and transports strays to LC4 on a daily basis. She has also been known to hold strays until LC4 is open, because there is nowhere else to take them. I have been rescuing dogs for about a year or so, picking up strays and taking them to LC4,” Reno said. “I hold some dogs over night because it is after 4 pm or it is a weekend and LC4 will not come and get them. Many times, I take dogs others have found to the pound because they have no way to get the dog there. We do what we can to keep these dogs safe.”

Getting your pooch home Reno said that if your dog is missing, there are a few things you can do right away to increase your chance of getting the dog back. “The first thing you should do is call LC4 and report your dog as missing,” she said. “Walk through LC4 at least every three days as well to look at the dogs they have. Lighting can make a big difference in the color of the dog and half of the time, LC4 staff do not get the breed correct. Post online as well. Do not give up hope.” Dori Sullivan-Simmons, of Toledo, does the research on posted dogs that are missing and those that are found running for Still Missing. “I do a lot of the match ups of postings and pictures,” Sullivan-Simmons said. “I have also found pets reported as lost on Craigslist that were found by someone who is then illegally selling them. I have found at least 20 dogs like that. I have been able to get a few dogs back to their owners that way.” Sullivan-Simmons has also been able to look at pictures of dead dogs that were found and match some of them up with the posts that they were missing. “I will contact owners if I believe a dog that was killed is theirs,” she said. “If it was me, I would want to know. They get some closure that way.” Getting your dog micro-chipped is important. “Make sure the information for the license and microchip are up to date. That way, people can find you if they find your dog. Also, have pictures and vet records. That helps you prove you are the owner if you have to,” she said. Still Missing is always looking for donations of pet food and supplies for the dogs they are caring for as well as rescue groups. Still Missing is also in need of more volunteers.

Rockets, Comets bring similar styles, pride to rivalry By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Part of what makes a rivalry great is when the games are competitive, and Genoa and Oak Harbor have had no shortage of competitive games during their many years battling one another. This year, both clubs have high expectations and feature Wing-T offenses — just one of many similarities between the programs whose communities are separated by just 12 miles via Route 163. “I think the fact that both teams have been playing for so long is what makes it such a big rivalry. It’s a big game for both communities and both teams,” said Oak Harbor coach Mike May. “There’s a little more juice in practice during Genoa week. It’s a game (players) look forward to. Genoa is well-coached and Coach (Paul) Patterson is doing a good job.” Patterson agrees this non-league rivalry is special, and always has been. “I think it’s a generational thing. You have the older generation of Genoa fans that look forward to that game, and now it’s all the way to the younger generation of fans,” he said. “This is a game that has been going on for a long time between two communities that are beside each other.” Matching offenses Genoa’s offense is led by veteran skill players, including quarterback Jake Plantz and three running backs, Noah Edwards, Josiah Bradfield and Daniel Novotney. “They’re offense is tough to defend. They can run the ball very well and they can throw the ball well, too. Plantz does a good job running the offense, not just with his arm but his running ability,” said May. “You have to be ready to defend against Genoa, both the running and passing game. “Offensively, one of the main keys is our offense sustaining drives and then being able to finish down in the red zone to keep Plantz and that offense off the field,” continued May. “Defensively, it’s about being able to stop the running game and eliminate big plays. In recent years, they’ve hurt us on big plays. We definitely have to win the special teams battle.” Oak Harbor features an offensive line that has four returning starters and group of running backs led by Garrett Duty that are capable of sustaining a potent rushing attack. As a result, Patterson’s defensive strategy is similar to May’s “It’s huge (that we) limit big plays. They’re a team that has some young skilled players, but they’re starting a talented, sophomore quarterback who can hurt you with his arm and legs. We have to keep that in check. It’s going to be a challenge for us defensively,” said Patterson. “They’re big up front. That’s their strength, the offensive line. “To limit big plays, we have to control the ball. That’s the kind of offense we play. At the end of the night, you want to have a pretty good differential in offensive plays that you’ve run.” Last year, Genoa won, 41-7, to win the annual Celestial Ball game after losing one year before. To win the Celestial Ball trophy, a team must win three consecutive years. One year ago, the Comets accumulated 371 yards of total offense — with 292 coming on the ground — and scored on all but

The Genoa defense was just as impressive, holding the Rockets to 148 yards of total offense and five first downs. The Comets took a 7-0 lead by marching 68 yards in five plays on the game’s opening drive. Now-graduated running back Matt Bradfield, who finished with 105 rushing yards and three touchdowns, scored on a four-yard run for the game’s first points. He stood out on the field that night, running the ball while also playing linebacker and serving as his team’s punter and kicker.

Celestial Ball Genoa Comets @ Oak Harbor Rockets Friday, September 1 7 p.m.

Bradfield’s brother, Josiah, who had 91 rushing yards, scored on a 14-yard run to push the score to 14-0 later in the first quarter before Matt’s two second-quarter scores (3, 17), which were sandwiched around an Oak Harbor touchdown — gave Genoa a 21-point lead at the half. Comet back Noah Edwards effectively put the game away on the first play from scrimmage in the second half, intercepting a pass and racing 34 yards for a score to make it 34-7. The previous two outings were much more competitive as the Rockets won, 208, in 2015 and the Comets won, 33-25, in 2014.

Lake seniors hoping to finish careers on a high note By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A group of 10 senior girls have accomplished a lot while playing soccer at Lake. A league title and two district championships are among the list from a class that is hoping to finish out their last hurrah with another successful season. Seniors comprise nine of the 11 starters on this team. The 4-3-3 alignment has Kennedy Walsh, Sophie Jackson, Megan Szymanski and Olivia Matlack protecting Colette Askins or Hayley St. John in goal. Taylor Timmons, Callie Palka and Maddy Hodgson are the midfielders and Makenzie Briggs, Brianna Skidmore and Courtney Johnson are the forwards. The primary reserves are Jennifer Pindoley, Kendyl Saffran, Mallory Lowe, Karissa McCloskey, Elizabeth Cowell and Clair Johns. They’ll have to replace the likes of now-graduated Kayla Saffran, who earned All-Ohio honors twice. Saffran scored 30 goals and passed for 11 assists last year. For her career, she totaled 64 goals and 28 assists. Saffran graduated with three other key players — Rebekah Swartz, Katie Weis and Hannah Robie. The quartet led the program to 49 wins during their four-year run and finished it off by defeating Rogers, Central Catholic, Wauseon and Oak Harbor for a Division II district title. Hodgson is the top returning scorer for this year’s club, having scored 16 goals while passing for six assists last season. Timmons had eight goals and 13 assists and Briggs (5 goals, 3 assists) and Skidmore (3 goals, 5 assists) combined for eight goals and eight assists. Kendyl Saffran had four goals and Palka contributed with three. “I am very pleased with the accomplishments. I am hoping that the girls on this year’s team build and continue to grow from what the teams have done in the past,” said Lake coach Don Jablonski. “But this is a new year that comes with some holes to fill. We will just have to wait and see who steps up.” In an odd way, the Flyers’ speed can present a bit of a conundrum as the

The 2017 Lake girls soccer team. (Photo courtesy Inter-State Photography/www.inter-state.com) team tries to play ball control, something Jablonski, now in his fifth year with the club, wants to see. “My philosophy is to control the ball, pass and move. We’ve done very well with that in the past,” he said. “This year, we have a lot of speed and the girls are having some trouble buying into that philosophy. I’m trying to get them to buy into the philosophy of the last four years. It will take some growth to get them to (execute).” Jablonski has loaded the non-conference slate with Oak Harbor, Perrysburg and Central Catholic outside of the Northern Buckeye Conference. “It’s very important to schedule good teams,” he said. “We would like to win the league and get back to regionals.” Jablonski helped start the program

in 2003 and coached the team for three years before moving on to Central Catholic, where he was until returning to Millbury in 2013. This year, he sees Woodmore, the reigning league champion, and Eastwood

and Genoa as the Flyers’ top threats in the Northern Buckeye Conference. “Our league is one of the best around,” he said. “The league makes us competitive and we strive to do well because of it.”

For title hopes, Lady Comets need to up their game By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa’s girls’ soccer team had good reason to think it would be able to get past Northern Buckeye Conference rival Eastwood in last year’s Division III district semifinal match. The Comets had already beaten the Eagles once and then tied them in the rematch during the regular season, but the third time proved to be a charm for Eastwood. The Eagles squeaked out a 1-0 win and the Comets haven’t forgotten. “We haven’t talked too much about districts, but that left a bad taste in their mouths,” third-year coach Josiah Hanson said. “It really motivated them. Our No. 1 goal is to win the league this year, and they want to keep winning in the tournament and do as much as they can. They know they can do something special this year.” The Comets have 23 girls on their roster, including 13 returning letterwinners, from a team that finished 10-3-3 and outscored its opponents by a 49-14 margin last season. Genoa finished second behind champion Woodmore in the NBC standings. “As long as we keep our heads level and go out there and play hard every game,” Hanson said, “this group has the potential to do some special things.” Genoa opened the season Aug. 19 with an 8-0 win over Ottawa Hills; the Comets beat Northwood by the same score on Tuesday. “They looked like they were ready to play,” Hanson said of his team’s win over the Green Bears. “They came out aggressive in the way they went about things.” Senior forward Hannah Rowland scored three goals against Ottawa Hills and two against Northwood, while sophomore forwards Tatum Neumann and Rylee Fredricksen have three goals apiece. Juniors Marissa Young and Reghan Piertroski and freshman Olivia Wiciak all have one goal after two matches. Rowland played mostly at defensive midfielder last season and scored one goal

cared about scoring goals, then she comes out and scores three goals in our first game. She’s a captain and I was happy for her. She got the chance to show that (skill) and she has done a great job of leading that way.” The Comets’ other captains are senior center defender Valerie Marquardt, senior outside defender Ellie Schwalbe and senior center midfielder Sydney Wagner. “Since the first time I met them as sophomores, I could tell they were going to be a huge part of this program,” Hanson said. “They are very vocal and they lead by example for our younger girls. They all work extremely hard and they want to be successful, which is really cool to see. I’m really proud of them for that.” Hanson called Marquardt and Wagner

Genoa player Megan Davis controls the ball in the Comets' win over Northwood Tuesday. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) in all of 2016. “Hannah is a really hard worker and this year we decided to put her up top (of the offense),” Hanson said. “She’s never

Despite graduating four, Lake golfers finding success By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Lake’s boys’ golf team had no choice but to grow up in a hurry this season. The Flyers, under first-year coach Chad Roberts, graduated four of their top six golfers from last season. Senior Nate Sampsell and junior Justin Luoma are Lake’s only returning lettermen. “The guys have shown some maturity, having only two returning varsity players,” said Roberts, who coached the Flyers’ junior varsity team last season. “Some of the guys who were on jayvee last year have stepped up and been learning under fire. They’ve been handling it pretty well.” Through Aug. 21, the Flyers took third out of 10 teams at the Fostoria Invitational at Lakeland, placed 10th out of 20 teams at the Maumee Panther Invitational at Heatherdowns, finished ninth out of 10 teams at the Brandywine Invitational, and took fourth out of seven teams at the Detwiler sectional preview. They also have beaten Evergreen and Woodmore in dual matches. “The guys have some goals they’re trying to meet,” Roberts said. “We had all the guys set individual goals — where they would like their game to be — as well as some team goals. We’d like to be competitive. Our league (Northern Buckeye Conference) is going to be tough, and we’d like to fare well in our league shootouts to give us a chance to place pretty high in the league at the end of the year.” Sampsell, a left-hander, is Lake’s No. 1 golfer. He was a Division II district qualifier last season. “He’s shooting to get back to districts this year,” Roberts said. “Nate’s been working hard on course management and his shot selection. He’s really working hard and he has changed the mental aspect of this team. Nate’s been a good leader because of his varsity experience. Justin as well. They’ve been leaders for the guys who don’t have varsity experience.” Luoma is the team’s No. 2 man, followed by juniors Jerad Pickel and lefty

“huge impact players.” “If they weren’t on the field,” he said, “we wouldn’t be the team we are. Hannah is going to score a lot of goals, and our leading goal scorer from last year, Tatum Newman, should be scoring goals again.” Another top player for the Comets, who have eight freshmen on their roster, is junior center midfielder Marissa Young. “She’s tenacious and a very hard worker, very unselfish,” Hanson said. “She could probably score in every game, but she just does what it takes to win. She never complains. I like our team’s mental toughness. Last year we had a pretty good year, but we were really young. Now those girls are a year older and they know how to handle things.”

Nate Sampsell Zack Hornyak. “Justin’s game has made a huge improvement from last year,” Roberts said. “He was our sixth man last year and he is my two-man this year, and his course management and ball striking have gotten much better. Jerad played on the jayvee last year and he’s a real good golfer. The (varsity) team last year was loaded with talented seniors, so what that did was give Jerad match experience that he’s using as a positive this year. Same thing with (No. 5 man) Robert Dufresne.” The other varsity members are sophomore Hayden Rider and Devon Bobak. Roberts said both youngsters picked up the game of golf just prior to last season. “Devon and Hayden are both learning under fire,” the coach said. “Their game’s improved greatly the last two years and they’re starting to learn the game and how it’s played. Our guys have been putting in the work they know they have to put in, and they feel confident in what they’re going to do this year.” (Photo of Nate Sampsell courtesy Anastasia Ellis/Inter-state Photography Studio/www.inter-state.com)
