New senior center

City council seeks ideal location By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

It’s very stressful to go through this for that number of years, and not get anything when you know your city has money...

“

Oregon plans public meetings before officials decide on the location of a senior center. Council President Dennis Walendzak, who sits on a committee to determine how revenue from a new senior levy passed last November will be used, said more input is needed from seniors. “The discussion on location has come up and it’s being reviewed and talked about, and we will have additional public hearings before any decision is made,” said Walendzak at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. Administrator Mike Beazley said the mayor, administration and council are actively involved. “We put together a group that’s focusing first on the service side,” said Beazley. He said Councilman Terry Reeves, who chairs the committee, and Walendzak are leading the process. The committee will then focus on a location for the center. “We actively looked at properties. We

are working on this,” said Beazley. City officials were responding to comments from Doris Levy, former board member of the senior center, who has fought for a centrally located senior center for 11 years. Their own center Levy told council on Monday that seniors want their own center, not a building that is leased for senior services. “We want our own senior center, like Point Place, Toledo, Maumee, and Sylvania,” she said. “We would like to have

as senior center to call our own. I don’t think we should waste our money on rent, it should be to buy a senior center. It does not have to be new.” Since 2004, she has been meeting with officials from the Area Office on Aging, and city officials trying to get a building for a senior center. The present building where seniors meet on Bayshore Road is too small with few programs to attract enough seniors, she said. City officials have repeatedly over the years promised they would find a new center, but it never happened, she added. Beazley and Walendzak asked her for patience. “It’ll be 11 years in January when I started this,” she said. “I probably won’t be around by the time that happens, and I don’t think my husband will.” She said the city spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for new construction at the municipal sports complex, but nothing ever materializes for seniors. “It’s very stressful to go through this for that number of years, and not get anything when you know your city has money and Continued on page 2

The Eastwood Board of Education has approved a resolution to formally have a levy issue for a new elementary school removed from the November ballot. The board met Sept. 12 in a special meeting to approve the resolution. The previous night, board members and the administration held a town hall forum that focused on a proposal to finance a new elementary school without additional taxes. The board is proposing to use revenues from a tax abatement agreement with The Home Depot and public utility taxes from a Troy Energy plant to cover most of the district’s share of construction costs for a new school. Using those two revenue streams – which, combined, will provide about $1.275 million annually – and drawing $1.5 million from a carry-over balance in the general fund for a down payment, school officials claim they can pay off the district’s share of $12.5 million in 10 years. The Ohio School Facilities Commission would provide $7 million for the project. The board had voted in June to place a bond issue on the ballot. But after getting an advisory from the OSFC that the district could use revenues from the abatement agreement and utility taxes for its share, the board and administration decided to proceed without seeking a bond levy for additional tax monies. “Given the fact that we can raise our local share without extending our current debt, it simply does not make sense to ask voters to approve a bond issue that is no longer relevant,” Brent Welker, superintendent, wrote in an email message to residents. Terry Burton, a director of the Wood County Board of Elections, confirmed Tuesday his office received Eastwood’s resolution to remove the issue from the ballot. Opponents to the new school have argued the matter should be decided by a vote of district residents. During the town hall forum, they raised several questions Continued on page 6

Senior center Continued from front page things are added for recreation,” she said. “The seniors don’t want to pay taxes for just schools and recreation. We deserve better.” In 2005, 11 candidates for Oregon council supported getting an improved senior center, she added. “We feel we should grow the senior activities in Oregon. In 2005, former Mayor Marge Brown said the city was planning to expand the current senior center or build a new one in 45 days in order to receive funds from the Area Office on Aging.” Levy said when she contacted the Area Office on Aging, she was told “nobody from Oregon had ever requested money for a senior center. They were really happy to hear from me.” Used building Levy said a building on Navarre used by an insurance company would be suitable for a senior center. Beazley said he has looked at the building for a possible location. “We are working on this. We get that we’ve talked about it for 11 years. We want to do something about it,” he said. “We want to see something while we’re living,” said Levy. “We’ve lost so many seniors already.” “The building you are speaking about” Walendzak said to Levy, “has been walked through and looked at and that’s one of the options that’s on the table. We’re not at the point of making any decision yet because we need more input. But that building is a possibility.” Levy asked how many seniors sit on the committee to decide on revenue from the levy will be spent. “They don’t look like they’re seniors to me,” she said. She added that Reeves said he was going to name her to the committee earlier this year and that she was at the top of the list, but she never heard back. Beazley said the committee consists of representatives from the city’s senior center, the Area Office on Aging, the two major hospitals in Oregon, and the YMCA, which has for years offered senior activities. “At least one-third of the group are seniors,” said Beazley, though none, like Levy, are seniors from the private sector.

(Photo courtesy of Roger Dodsworth) Public meeting “We’re going to have a public meeting in October that’s going to focus on locations,” said Beazley. “These are the things we’re working on. It’s important to the community that we get it right. We can’t help the fact that the thing has been kicked around for 11 years. We do know that. But it’s now time for us to take some action.” Walendzak agreed. “Please be patient with us. I know 11

years has been a long time to be patient. But we are going through the process right now,” said Walendzak. Beazley said levy revenue will be focused on programs to help seniors stay in their own homes for a longer period of time. Levy said those programs have been available for the last several years. She said an emphasis should be on the socialization of seniors to improve their well being. “Once they’ve lost a husband or a wife,

they’re very lonely. Some die from it. So their doctors try to get them involved,” she said. She did not want programs to be located at different locations, such as at the YMCA, the senior center, and other sites, which had been suggested as a possibility by city officials. “We definitely want a building to be proud of, that’s in one place,” said Levy.

Lake Twp.

Intervention in First Energy rate case OK’d By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township trustees Tuesday approved a motion to intervene in a rate case FirstEnergy filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Several public and private entities have already filed with the PUCO to testify when the commission holds a hearing on the rate case. The township will join with other members of the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition as interveners in a proposed electric security plan the utility submitted to the PUCO. If approved, the plan would regulate electric rates for users who purchase power from Toledo Edison Co., Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. and Ohio Edison Co. Richard Welling, a trustee, read an email message from Tom Hays, a former township solicitor who’s been working with NOAC, in which Hays contends rate payers would “financially backstop� the output of both the Davis-Besse and the W.H. Sammis power plants for 15 years if the plan is approved. “Under FirstEnergy’s proposal, the utility would purchase (power) from their sister company, FirstEnergy Solutions on a

cost plus basis and then resell the electricity into the wholesale market. Any profit or losses for these plants will be passed on to consumers. Thus, consumers are guaranteeing the operation of facilities owned by FES for 15 years regardless of market or regulatory conditions,� the message says. “This defeats the notion of competition and shifts the financial, regulatory and environmental risks of the Davis-Besse and Sammis plants (on the Ohio River) to rate payers. NOAC communities have a long history of being saddled with high Davis-Besse costs and have worked hard since our inception to get rid of them.� In written testimony to the PUCO, the company claims that component of its plan will save customers about $2 billion over 15 years. Called the Economic Stability Program, it will help safeguard customers from retail rate increases resulting from rising market prices and volatility, the company says. “By keeping vital fuel-diverse baseload power plants available in and near Ohio to serve Ohio customers, the Economic Stability Program will help insure future service reliability as well as preserve $1 billion in annual statewide economic benefits and nearly 3,000 direct and indirect jobs created by operations at the Davis-Besse and W.H. Sammis power plants located in

Ohio,� the testimony says. The company is proposing to implement the plan to provide generation service pricing from June 2016 through May 31, 2019. NOAC includes about a dozen municipalities and townships in Wood and Lucas counties that formed as a group to purchase gas and electric service. In other business Tuesday, the trustees approved the payment of an emergency medical procedure for a veteran of the police department. The trustees authorized a payment of $1,461 to MedVet Columbus for an operation on Bruno, the department’s K-9 unit. The procedure involved the removal of a mass from the dog’s throat. The department was unable to locate a local veterinarian who could perform the procedure, which was paid for by monies in the department’s drug forfeiture fund. The dog, a Belgian Malinois, has been instrumental in the department’s operations. In 2008, Bruno alerted to the back seat of a vehicle that police had stopped on I-280 for driving with an expired tags. Two bags containing about $119,500 were found and two men from Boardman, O. were arrested.

A Clay Township man is in the Ottawa County Detention Facility on multiple charges of theft from elderly, receiving stolen property, burglary and breaking and entering. Donald Dudrow III, 28, is being held without bond pending arraignment in the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas. He is accused of entering the home and outbuildings of an elderly Clay Township resident and taking thousands of dollars of property within a period of several weeks. The Ottawa County Grand Jury also returned indictments against: • Clarence Mincer, 54, of Oak Harbor, was indicted on two counts of trafficking in drugs, both felonies of the fifth degree. • Jacqueline Crone, 53, of Elmore, was indicted on one count of complicity to traffic in drugs, a felony of the fifth degree. • Kyle Goetz, 25, and Brittany Mack, 24, both of whom are being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, have each been charged with burglary and theft, felonies of the third and fifth degree, respectively. The charges stem from an investigation by the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office into a home invasion in Salem Township on Sept. 8. • Nicole Collins, 35, of Oregon, has been indicted on one count each of theft and forgery, both felonies of the fifth degree, after she reportedly took a blank check from a Salem Township resident in August, then forged the check. An indictment is a formal charge in the Common Pleas Court and does not denote guilt or innocence.

Memorabilia to pay for Medal of Honor plaques By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com To pay for a plaque honoring Toledo area servicemen killed in action, a memorabilia store has been set up at 4505 North Summit Street. Last Memorial Day, a stone and plaque honoring Lucas County Medal of Honor recipients was erected on a pathway south of Cullen Park. It was the first of seven memorials planned for the site. Earlier this month the second plaque, honoring Lucas County veterans killed in action during the Vietnam War, was added. The two plaques are near the Point Place lighthouse on Pinkway Path and are visible from Summit Street. “We had all 19 of our Medals of Honor on there in chronological order, except the last one,” said Remembrance Inc. chairman Nick Haupricht. “We found out at a later date after we had the thing all set up, looked at it and thought it looked good, that we had another Medal of Honor recipient that had enlisted here in Toledo. So, we had to send the plaque back and put his name on there, too. “On the dedication that night, I had three ladies approach me and said they wanted to do Vietnam. They said we want to do it September 11, and we had to really hurry because you have to do all this stuff done ahead of time, and we did it, and both the Medal of Honor plaques and Vietnam plaques are up. We’re looking for people to come forward and purchase another plaque. We still have five left.” Money is still being raised by Remembrance Inc. for plaques honoring those killed in the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, Korean Conflict, and in Iraq and Middle East conflicts still going on. Haupricht says Remembrance Inc., which is a historical society, not a veterans group, plans to put the Spanish-American War stone and plaque up next year. The Medal of Honor plaque cost $8,000 and the Vietnam plaque $6,000. Haupricht

Remembrance Inc. chairman Nick Haupricht with the stone and plaque at Cullen Park honoring Lucas County’s Medal of Honor recipients. (Press photo by J. Patrick Eaken) hopes the store can raise another $5,000 to put up the next plaque. “We should get the funds to put the rest of them in if I get the cooperation of the community, and that’s why I have this store down there,” Haupricht said. Included among the Medal of Honor recipients is Private Wilson Brown, who was with the 21st Ohio Infantry during the Civil War. He was one of the Andrews Raiders — 24 Union fighters who stole a Confederate train. Brown is interred at New Belleville Ridge Cemetery in Dowling, south of Perrysburg. Also among the recipients are Private John S. Kountz and William Schmidt, both with the 37th Ohio Infantry during the Civil War. “Kountz was 16-year-old drummer boy from Maumee. They were in a fierce battle at Missionary Ridge, he put down

his drums and sticks and picked up his rifle, went up the hill and got the Medal of Honor,” Haupricht said. “Once he got to the other side of the hill, he got his leg blown off, then Schmidt came up and dragged him back under terrific fire, and he got the Medal of Honor. So, that was the first time one Medal of Honor recipient saved the life of another Medal of Honor recipient.” Actively engaged Haupricht, a Vietnam veteran and chairman of Rememberance Inc., has been advocating for veteran’s rights for years, most recently pushing for changes in state law and hosting dinners for Medal of Honor recipients. Haupricht even filed a lawsuit against U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur in 2010 to recover costs he allegedly spent for a cere-

mony planned to commemorate a section of a World War II monument granite being brought to Toledo. The ceremony was cancelled and the lawsuit dismissed, but Haupricht keeps plugging away. He can often be seen at the Veterans Affairs Medical Clinic on Detroit Avenue mingling with veterans. “What would you do to get patriotism reawakened in the community? We put all the POW flags up downtown, we put the plaque in the one memorial down there without any help from anybody, and we’re building this with just the help of individual people,” Haupricht said. Potential customers have until Sept. 28 to purchase the items in the shop, which is on the corner of Summit and 101st Street just north of Cullen Park. The shop, which formerly housed a restaurant, is in a building donated by its owner. In the store are close to 1,500 Life magazines from 1937-72, plus posters, celebrity photos, and other celebrity memorabilia items. Haupricht says if 1,000 items can be sold for $5 apiece, it would pay for the next plaque. “Some are donated and I got them from various locations around the area. If somebody is looking for a birth date (for a Life magazine issue) or something like that, I’ve got it,” Haupricht said. “I’ve got pictures of Elvis, Steve McQueen, Coca-Cola ads, Pepsi ads, old tractor and car oil ads, Marilyn Monroe, just everything in general. “I try to stay in the $5 range — everything on the floor and on the tables are $5,” Haupricht continued. “The posters are more but I can negotiate with them, too. Everything here, when it is all sold, will pay for another plaque to be going up on the memorial down the street. You just come through the store, take a look around, and see what you like.” At least two more stones and their plaques are spoken for, but Haupricht says any individual, organization, or business that wants to sponsor one of the memorials may reach him at 419-270-2655 or Haupricht@gmail.com.

Eastwood Continued from front page about the school board’s proposal to build a new school at the main campus on Sugar Ridge Road and transfer students now enrolled in schools in the villages of Pemberville and Luckey. Among other concerns, opponents said closing Pemberville and Luckey elementaries would lead to a loss of community and busing young students to the central campus could pose safety problems. Others criticized the board for not adequately maintaining district buildings. Roger Mullholand, a spokesman for the Committee to Save our Elementaries, said the group intends to pursue legal action to have the matter decided by voters. Two previous tax issues to help pay for a new school were defeated at the polls. But whether or not a citizens group or a school board can place an issue before voters that doesn’t include a levy request is questionable. Burton said school boards don’t have the authority to place referendums on the ballot and citizens are also barred from putting school-related referendums before voters.

Algal bloom forum The Ohio Farmers Union will host a forum Monday Sept. 22 to discuss the problem of algal blooms in the western basin of Lake Erie. Speakers will include: • Jeffrey Reutter, director of the Ohio Sea Grant and F.T.

Ohio law requires anyone born on or after July 1, 1982 to be able to show proof of successful completion of an approved boating safety education course when operating a watercraft powered by a motor greater than 10 horsepower.

New bridges, beautification planned By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday will consider passing ordinances regarding improvements to Navarre Avenue and the replacement of the Taylor Road Bridge over Otter Creek. Public Service Director Paul Roman said both ordinances are required by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to allow the agency to let bids for both projects. “This gives ODOT the authority to go ahead and bid a project that will take place in Oregon with ODOT funding,” Roman said at a committee of the whole meeting last Monday. The Navarre Avenue improvement project consists of the replacement of a bridge over Otter Creek that is located between Cresceus and Patchen roads, just west of I-280, and beautification to add bioswales and sidewalks from Cresceus Road to the CSX railroad underpass, according to Roman. Decorative light poles on the north side of Navarre, between I-280 and Coy Road, will also be added. At the time of the State Route 2 widening project, there were wiring and pedestals placed along Navarre Avenue, said Roman.

“There was a conflict with those locations. All the lights along Navarre were put in on the south side then, but these boxes are still remaining, and certainly, we can add decorative poles to these foundations,” he said. Replacement of the bridge over Otter Creek, including design and construction, is fully funded by ODOT. The city will provide 20 percent of the funding for the beautification, and will receive 80 percent funding through ODOT, according to Roman. “We did request a betterment, which is another item that the city will pay 100 percent,” said Roman. Betterment consists of a full asphalt overlay of Navarre Avenue between Cresceus Road to the east side of the CSX underpass. “Unfortunately, grants don’t cover that work, so it will be 100 percent covered by us. That cost will be about $95,000,” he said. Total costs to the city for beautification and betterment will be $231,000. “It will be a lot more attractive, I think, once you have the bridge done and you have the sidewalks and the bioswales and the new pavement,” he said. Taylor Road Bridge The replacement of a bridge on Taylor Road over Otter Creek, just west of Yarrow, between Corduroy Road and Seaman Street, will be funded by ODOT’s Municipal

Bridge program. “ODOT will pay 100 percent for both bridge replacements,” said Roman. Councilman Jerry Peach expressed concerns about a weak spot in the pavement under the CSX railroad underpass that has posed problems in the past. “It is susceptible to sinking, creating a kind of chronic pothole condition. It’s not bad at the moment, but I don’t expect that to last,” said Peach. Roman said the area, as well as other road joints west of the underpass, are included in this year’s road improvements program. The City of Toledo, he added, has agreed to share in the costs of repairs to road joints west of the underpass that border the city’s corporation limit. “We also have another project on Van Buren Street in which Toledo is doing work for a waterline in which we would share costs as well for drainage,” said Roman. “We’re going to trade and barter services between the two cities. It’s a good joint operation between the two. It will be our wish to someday go in on another joint grant application and do an overlay for the rest of Navarre, and we would probably score well on that. For now, this year’s program will take care of the worst joints and poor pavement areas. We’ll try to work to put in an overlay on Navarre west of the underpass.”

Meeting planned for Navarre safety project By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon plans a stakeholders’ meeting late next month on the Navarre Avenue Safety improvement project. “It’s going through an engineering process now,” Administrator Mike Beazley said at a committee of the whole project last Monday. “We want to make sure we had meetings in the last two years with stakeholders. When they wrap up the engineering process, it should be ripe in late October to bring people together for a public meeting. We’ll work things out with some of the business owners and get some feedback from council. We’ll have individual meetings with some of the most affected property owners prior to that to make sure people are plugged into that.” The project is based on an Access Management Study conducted in 2012 that examined the safety of vehicles pulling out of businesses onto the busy Navarre Avenue thoroughfare. The $2,718,327 project, scheduled to be completed in May 2016, will be financed through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Safety Fund, and the City Street Improvement Fund. It will include the following: • Improvements at the State Route 2/ Wheeling Street intersection, including the

relocation of the existing median island, and the modification of a signal to accommodate protected left turns in all directions; • Construction of a median along State Route 2 between Munding Drive and Isaac Streets Drive; • Construction of bulb-outs and median openings to accommodate U-turns and emergency access; • Construction of a dedicated public access road with right-in/right-out at State Route 2 to serve businesses and provide emergency vehicle access; • Upgrading signals to improve visibility and accommodate pedestrians and U-turns; • Upgrading lane control and directional signage; • Providing micro-surfacing to improve skid resistance and eliminate conflicting pavement markings; • Providing/upgrading pedestrian accommodation (ramps). Erosion control On Monday, city council will consider an agreement with BP-Huskey Refining LLC, for permanent and temporary easements for the Flood Relief and Erosion Control project. “We’re in the process of closing out the Oregon Flood Relief and Erosion Control project,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman. “These easements are required for construction of the project.

The project provides multiple benefits for both public safety and the environment. In addition to eliminating ditch bank erosion and improving traffic safety along Wynn Road, it will alleviate flooding in the immediate industrial areas, as well as reduce flooding in the residential areas upstream. The project will also improve and protect the environment. By relocating Driftmeyer Ditch to go around the BP- Husky Refinery, Maumee Bay will be further protected from any potential, accidental petroleum or chemical releases. The project also provides 12.35 acres of wetlands and 36.25 acres of upland buffer area to help filter sediment and nutrients from the stream prior to discharging into Maumee Bay. The project is funded by $1.8 million from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) and by BP-Husky Refinery as part of a joint partnership with the city. The temporary easement is a property-wide easement on BP-Husky at the southeastern corner of Cedar Point and Lallendorf roads, according to Roman. “It is a place where we can put excavated dirt from the new channel,” he said. The permanent easement is for a storm sewer that takes drainage from Cedar Point Road and routes it south to the new channel, he added. “It’s a 30 foot wide drainage permanent easement through the BP property,” said Roman.

Genoa sixth-graders bond in running club

Court Log

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press

Oregon Municipal Court

Running club members prepare for sprints during a recent after-school session

“

I’m getting older and some of those kids are getting hard to keep up with.

“

Sixth-grader Hannah Van Clere glanced over her shoulder as she finished a slow first jog around the Genoa High School track. “A surprising record for me,” she smiles proudly. “I wasn’t last today.” Van Clere is one of 22 Genoa Middle School students hitting the track every Tuesday and Thursday this September as part of the after school running program. The program, in its 12th year, was the brainchild of Principal Kevin Katafias. Sixth-graders are caught between stages – no longer eligible for elementary sports and too young for middle school sports, Katafias explained. And of course, there is no recess time to burn off pent up energy. “So I kind of came up with this club as an answer to the problem,” he said. “I like to run. I haven’t been in dedicated sports like track or cross country but I thought I had something to offer the kids.” And he does. Training and discipline coupled with loads of encouragement. He places his clipboard and timer on the ground and gathers the kids in a group. He then stretches and runs alongside his students. “Keep the pace. You’re doing good. Take another lap. You can do it,” he yells as he passes a group of students rounding the last corner. The practice schedule varies to include sprints, races, timed laps and a few games. “At this age you have to change it up to keep them interested,” the administrator turned coach explains. It’s a cool September afternoon with temperatures barely hovering over 60 degrees. Perfect running weather – not like the humid days the kids experienced in early September. But clear skies and an intense sun suddenly heat up this practice hour. Bees intermittently dodge around the runners. “I like to run but that’s the only part I don’t like – the bees,” says 11-year-old

Samantha Richards as she swats at the pesky insects during a water break. “Yea, we both play soccer and softball so we’re used to running,” her friend Ryan Lay chimes in. The group of students is a diverse gathering of boys and girls of various shapes and sizes.

They’ve created a bond as they circle around the track running or walking to catch their breath. They clap for one another and shout words of encouragement as the final runners pass the finish line. “They’re really good about that,” Katafias said of the building camaraderie. “I talked to them about that the first day and they really caught on.” During this practice all runners are expected to run a timed mile. The results will be compared to a timed mile at the end of the program to gauge improvement. Seeing the improvement is the payoff for both students and the administrator. Some of his previous participants have gone on to excel in cross country and track at both the middle school and high school levels. “We had one a couple of years ago who ran the mile in 6:40 when the program began. And one of the girls has been a state champ in cross country and track.” “I’m getting older and some of those kids are getting hard to keep up with,” he laughs.

Ottawa County

Sheriff’s department warns of phone scam

“

By Press Staff Writer

Several residents have received these calls and have been subjected to threats and harassment...

“

A phone scam involving calls purporting to be from the Internal Revenue Service has apparently made its way to Ottawa County, according to the sheriff’s department. The callers claim to be IRS employees and tell victims they owe taxes and must pay using a pre-paid debt card or wire transfer. “Several residents have received these calls and have been subjected to threats and harassment by these scammers,” a statement Wednesday from the sheriff’s department says. “Please be aware that this is a scam and this is not how the IRS conducts business.” J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, issued a warning earlier this year about the scam, noting his office had already received more than 20,000 complaints and was aware of thousands of victims who had collectively paid more than $1 million as a result of the

scam. He said the callers threaten victims with arrest, deportation or loss of a business or driver’s license. As a matter of policy, the IRS usually first contacts taxpayers by mail about unpaid taxes and won’t ask for payment using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer, George said. Also, the agency won’t ask for a credit card number over the phone.

“If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and uses threatening language if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling,” George said. The callers often use common names and fake IRS badge numbers and frequently know the last four digits of the victim’s Social Security number. They also have the technical ability to make caller ID information appear as if the IRS is calling and will follow up their initial call with bogus emails. Often the scam involves a second call claiming to be from the police or department of motor vehicles and the caller ID will again appear to be from one of those departments. The IRS advises anyone who might owe taxes to hang up and call 800-829-1040. Those who don’t owe taxes should report the incident to the inspector general’s office at 800-366-4484. Complaints may also be filed with the Federal Trade Commission at www.FTC.gov. Add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments in the complaint.

Village streets project Motorists in Oak Harbor should expect minor traffic delays as the 2014 village road program gets underway this fall. The village recently awarded its program contract to Henry W. Bergman, Inc. at a bid price of $164,777. This year’s project calls for crack sealing on State Route 19, Mill Street, Burdine Drive, North Railroad Street, Plantation Lane and Cooper’s Trail. Full depth repairs will be made on Brookside Drive, Washington Street, Mill Street and Oak Ridge Drive. Motor paving, also known as tar and chip, will take place along several different alleys. And micro-surfacing will be done on East Park Street, West Avenue, Gordon Drive, Robinson Drive and Harvest Lane. The micro-surfacing will take place first and will cause those streets to have limited access to motor traffic while the product is placed and curing has been completed, according to Village Administrator Randy Genzman. Residents on those streets will be notified via a handbill regarding the days of limited access. The streets program is funded by a 5-mill streets levy and the village’s general fund. Residents who have a question about the program should contact Genzman at 419-898-5561.

Three indicted Three men have been indicted by an Ottawa County grand jury on charges related to falsifying records used to obtain concealed carry weapons permits. Joshua A. Hillabrand, 24, and Gregory J. Hillabrand, 22, both of Lemoyne Road, Lake Township, were indicted on two counts of falsification, fourth degree felonies, and misdemeanor counts of possession of a revoked license. According to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department, the brothers allegedly presented the sheriff’s department with papers certifying they had completed the required classroom and shooting instruction necessary to apply for a CCW permit earlier this year. Sheriff’s detectives, however, learned that only a portion of the mandatory instruction had been completed by the two, although the signed documents declared otherwise. William E. Harrer, 51, Clareridge Drive, was indicted on two counts of complicity, fourth degree felonies, and is alleged to be the instructor of the classes that provided the men with the false certificates. He is scheduled to be in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court Sept. 26. The Hillabrands were scheduled to be arraigned last Wednesday.

Club plans dance The American Czech and Slovak Dance Club will hold a dance Sept. 28 from 2-6 p.m. at the Millbury Fire Hall. The dance will be a celebration of the club’s 40 years of providing polka music. Entertainment will be provided by Martin Brothers Plus. Food, pastries and other refreshments will be available. Donations of pastries are appreciated. No other carry-ins are permitted. Admission is $8.

Road to be closed Construction work is set to begin Sept. 22 on three roads in Ottawa County. Duff-Washa Road, between Lickert-Harder and Benton-Carroll, will be closed during the construction, which is scheduled to end Sept. 30. Toussaint-Portage Road, between State Route 163 and State Route 105, will be closed Sept. 22-25 to all traffic. Benton-Carroll Road, between State Route 2 and Duff-Washa Road, will be open to buses and emergency vehicles only between Sept. 22 and Sept. 30. Work schedules may change due to the weather.

Wreaths to be laid The Ottawa County Veterans Service Office is planning for its “Wreaths Across America” effort, which will provide wreaths on all Ottawa County veterans’ graves. Wreaths will be laid on graves Dec. 13. To donate and/or volunteer, contact Sara Toris at the Ottawa County Veterans’ Service Office at 419-898-2089.

Allen-Clay Joint Fire District Officer Mike Bennett speaks as the dedication begins to celebrate the new fire station. (Press photo by Cynthia L. Jacoby)

Community welcomes new fire station By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com A solemn day in U.S. history marked the beginning of a new era for the AllenClay Joint Fire District. More than a hundred people gathered on a chilly but clear Sept. 11 evening for the dedication of the new headquarters/ station at 3155 N. Genoa-Clay Center Road. The event kicked off with a processional march serenaded by the bagpipes of the Scottish Rite of Toledo. The firefighters and officers of the district then marched in behind them in full dress attire, standing among the equipment on display in front of the building. Officer Mike Bennett recalled that September day in lower Manhattan and across the nation 13 years ago when the downing of the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York, the assault on the Pentagon and loss of a plane full of passengers who foiled the mission of terrorists aboard forever changed America. “We are no longer just firefighters. We are our nation’s first responders for all events. We need to seek training, knowledge to perform under the worst conditions,” Bennett said. He paid tribute to the 343 New York Fire Department personnel lost in the 9-11 attacks as well as the two Toledo firefighters who died in an arson fire earlier this year.

“

The old station served us well but we simply outgrew it.

“

10

“It left a void in all of us who have a sworn duty to protect all in harm’s way,” Bennett said. Looking to the future, the firefighters gathered this day to show off their new digs made possible by a swell of community support. Funding for the nearly $1 million facility – which includes a 100-seat conference room, a state-of-the-art training facility, three bed chambers, new equipment bays and kitchen/common room - came from a levy approved by voters in 2000. Scott Everhardt, an Allen Township trustee and member of the fire board, noted how this project began in earnest three years ago. The fire department had outgrown the old station – one of three in the district – and needed better facilities to provide training and house its growing equipment fleet. Both he and ACJFD Chief Denny

Hartman gave credit to a host of individuals and companies whose personal efforts went into helping create a top-notch 10,000-square-foot facility. Contributions helped keep costs down, including legal services, stone/dirt hauling, woodworking and razing of the old headquarters building. Everhardt noted the presence of former ACJFD Fire Chief Bruce Moritz in the crowd. “He was with us from the beginning and almost made it to the end,” Everhardt chuckled. Moritz resigned from the department after decades of service last fall to take a position with neighboring Lake Township Fire Department. But most of all, Everhardt said. “I want to thank the 10,000 residents of this district. We couldn’t do this without them … and the 80 members who make up the fire department.” The 80 figure includes officers, full-time personnel, part-time personnel and volunteers.” “The old station served us well but we simply outgrew it,” the chief said. He added the highlight was not in the building of the facility but when you open it officially, noting all the changes and modifications necessary along the way to reach this point. Firefighters began using the new fire station in December. However, the past nine months have been spent fine tuning everything from landscaping to installing furniture.

Consultant: Electric rates need hiked in Oak Harbor By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com Leave the sewer/storm drainage rates alone and raise the cost of supplying electricity in Oak Harbor. That was the Courtney & Associates’ recommendation offered to village council Monday after more than a six-month review of system operations. Village officials last adjusted storm drainage rates, not sewer rates, on a phased-plan beginning in 2012. The monies accumulated are enough to cover the system responsibilities such as personnel, contracts, supplies, 3 percent inflation and debt services until 2016. The electric service did not fare as well, according to the survey. It projects a shortfall by 2016, requiring a hike of about 5 percent to meet the needs, said John Courtney, a company principal. That roughly could equate to about a 4 cents per kilowatt hour increase overall for customers. The last electrical rate hike in the village occurred in 2008. The survey also showed that the large power consumers, like the Benton-CarrollSalem School District, in effect, subsidized residential and general service users. A slight reduction in services should be considered for them, Courtney noted. Increases in electrical service charges are largely attributed to higher costs to purchase power. The polar vortex this winter caused a major price spike that many are just now recovering from, Courtney explained. “You sell about 88 percent of what you buy,” Courtney said, noting the diverse portfolio of the village’s energy suppliers including hydro, coal-fired and green sources. “The other is unbilled losses of about 12

percent for things like street lighting, municipal buildings and others sources.” The recommendations will be turned over to the utilities committee for review but council members took the opportunity to question Courtney about the results. Councilman Jon Fickert questioned the razor-thin buffer left in the sewer system analysis. The village would be in the black about $4,000 one year and less than $900 another year. “Is everyone comfortable with this?” Fickert asked his peers as he went over the figures. “That’s cutting it pretty close … and things never go as planned.” He also reminded others of the various sewer system upgrades down the pike needed to fix the village’s flooding issues. One of those is the Church Street renovation project. Council approved a $20,000 contract Monday for the hiring of the Jones & Henry engineering firm to begin work on preliminary plans. Courtney cautioned council not to rush to judgment on a sewer rate increase. “We don’t recommend raising rates arbitrarily. You shouldn’t raise rates to raise rates.” American Municipal Powerassociated municipal utilities are not set up to profit but to cover the costs of needs, he added. Courtney then questioned why that would be a problem when enough funds existed in both the sewer and storm drainage funds to move those projects along. When pressed by a member of the audience, Adam Snyder, Courtney stated there was $176,000 unexpended in the storm sewer balance and $561,000 in the sewer fund. Fickert and some others members of council were confused by the statement since last year in the wake of trying to fix major problems they were told funding wasn’t available.

“You are telling us we have money in the sewer funds and almost nothing in the electrical fund. When we have been led to believe the opposite,” Fickert said. Why, he asked, would the village make a deal with Jones & Henry to spread the $36,000 billing over two years because of the financial situation if it had the money. Courtney said he was not involved in that issue and, therefore, could not answer the question. Mayor Bill Eberle noted that some of those monies in those funds are already earmarked to cover debt service notes when they come due this year. “It will be gone by the end of the year,” the mayor explained. Councilman Jim Seaman said Fickert’s concerns were valid and would be discussed in an upcoming utilities meeting. He also asked for a copy of the debt service schedule to find out when specific items fall of the books. Later in the session, Councilman Don Douglas addressed complaints about fund balances. He noted everyone gets an updated budget on a regular basis and the revenue and expense figures are all there. “I don’t know if people aren’t understanding or what,” he said. Fiscal clerk search Twenty-one people had applied by email for the fiscal clerk position that becomes available Oct. 31. The application deadline was Sept. 14. Fiscal Clerk Debbie Carpenter turned in her resignation recently because of personal issues. Eberle, who will lead the search, said he had to check the regular mail for applications and then weed through the list to whittle it down to a reasonable number. He hoped to have interview dates ready soon.

Maintenance questions To the editor: I am a taxpayer in Pemberville and have four grandchildren who attend the Eastwood School District. I thank the school board and administrator for holding the town hall meeting Sept. 10. I have a couple of issues that I would like Brent Welker, district superintendent, to address. First, I don’t think anyone was saying that the maintenance staff doesn’t do its job. I believe the point was being made that the present buildings are in need of repairs, which is a financial issue, but not from a lack of effort by the staff. Welker’s statement confirms that issue that was made by one of the last speakers at the meeting. The speaker questioned if anyone has looked at the present buildings and is there a master plan to address them? Welker said in his community email the morning of Sept 11: “Our Buildings and Grounds staff have saved this district more money than they have been paid by a long shot. Our Director works 12 hours every day, on a good day. His role includes not only maintenance but transportation supervision. There are days when he is driving a bus due to a shortage of drivers, which is an issue everywhere, along with performing other maintenance programs. He is responsible for six buildings, the newest of which is 44 years old, and property at five locations. He also handles water and sewer testing along with other compliance mandates. Anyone who works in those fields knows that those compliance issues are cumbersome at best. Finally, there was this issue of the January Bus Garage fire. The time we

Dangerous precedent To the editor: I would like to acknowledge the guest editorial by Dave Lange in the Sept. 15th edition of The Press. It does not matter what side of the aisle you preside on (and would be better off on neither); everyone can see the dangerous precedent across the United States. We are losing more and more freedoms everyday with more on the horizon.

This is not an attack letter on law enforcement because any reasonable citizen in this country knows how difficult that job has become. I have had both positive and negative interactions throughout my life, including Lake Township where I live now. What has become the problem, in my own opinion, is the direction the law has gone since the 1970s -80s - much of it due to the drug war. They are not peace officers anymore; they are law enforcement. More and more cities are cutting police officers and/or suggesting that the police should focus on revenue generation. I am asking people to look it up for themselves, but I can tell you a lot of revenue generation has been occurring in Ferguson, Missouri. I do not condone violence against any police officer or human being. Thank you Dave for pointing out that we have rights, the Bill of Rights, and every citizen is protected under this banner. It was good to read an interesting opinion. Maybe it will start a great debate among us all and help us focus on what we are leaving our children when we are gone. David Brock Walbridge

It’s a mistake to let your past pollute your future Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

The past is over. The clock cannot be turned back. The value of the past is what can be learned from it.

“

The impact the past has on people is fascinating. It’s not uncommon for events from childhood to affect someone for the rest of their life. For example, I have observed individuals well into their 60’s complaining about how their parents treated them while growing up. Although your experiences do have an effect on you, your past does not have to be an anchor preventing you from moving forward. As a free thinking individual, you have the ability to cut free from the past. Lamenting the past is a common trap. Worrying about the past is as pointless as it gets. It’s easy to dwell on what you could have, should have, or would have done differently if you had the chance. There are those who become fixated on their past to the point of neglecting the present. You don’t need to allow your past to pollute your future. The past is over. The clock cannot be turned back. The value of the past is what can be learned from it. The past shows you what works along with what does not. Your goal is to repeat those actions which worked, while avoiding behaviors that didn’t. Ironically, many people do the exact opposite. They ignore what worked, while repeating what did not. Mistakes are a normal part of life. They are a powerful educational opportunity. Mistakes highlight actions which did not produce the intended results. Mistakes are a waste only if you do not learn from them. Mistakes are the foundation of success. Successful people often make more mistakes than others. They utilize each mistake as a springboard for forward prog-

ress. Feeling sorry for yourself is a waste of time. Attempting to get others to feel sorry for you is just as pointless. Wallowing in self-pity mires you in the past. It is the exact opposite of what you should be doing. There are no do overs. However, you can and should always be constantly improving as you move forward. You can do things differently next time. Acting without thinking inevitably

leads to problems. Hasty decisions increase the likelihood of mistakes. Look to your past in order to understand where you didn’t put as much thought into your behavior as you should have. Your past experiences identify weaknesses which can be corrected. Everyone has areas needing improvement. Recognize any personal traits holding you back or causing problems. Regardless of what they may be, there are effective strategies to overcome them. Life moves forward. Your future is in front of you. Hanging on to the past inhibits progress. The past is wasted when it’s used to make excuses for why you can’t or won’t move forward. Instead, you need reasons to move ahead. It’s the actions you take today which prepare you for tomorrow. Here are some questions whose answers move you ahead. What do I want? Where do I want to go? What is the path I would like to take? What is my ideal timeframe? What steps do I need to take? What are the benefits when I succeed? You can answer these questions regardless of your past. Yesterday is over and behind you. You live in the present. The road in front of you is where you are going. The only thing preventing your moving forward is you. In order to change your outcomes, you must change your thoughts and behavior. Right now, wherever you are, is the perfect time to cut free from the past. Don’t put it off. Don’t make excuses. Let go of the anchor that has been holding you back. You can do it!

Dr. Ray to talk to Moms about ‘standing strong as a parent’ Page Two

by John Szozda

“

Houses that were built 100 years ago had porches in front. People would communicate with each other, wave and say good morning.

“

Do you want to be your child’s best friend? Are you reluctant to discipline your child? Do you fear you’ll bruise his ego or spur him to rash action if you attempt to correct unwanted behavior? If so, you may need Dr. Ray’s advice on “Standing strong as a parent.” That’s the title of Dr. Ray’s talk when he speaks at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Oak Harbor Monday, Sept. 29. Dr. Ray Guarendi is a nationally-known television and radio host, columnist and author of nine books including his latest entitled Fighting Mad: Practical Solutions for Conquering Anger. Fr. Tim Ferris, pastor of St. Boniface and Our Lady of Lourdes parish in Genoa, has been a Dr. Ray fan for 10 years. “He has a great message. One of the big problems parents have is developing accountability and good habits for people. We live in a society where it’s normal to tell our children, ‘We’ll explain to you what you did and why it’s bad and don’t do it again,’ Well, they’re not going to do it, just because it’s the right thing to do, that’s human. They need to be held accountable and learn there are effects for the choices they make. That’s the key to what Dr. Ray does.” Dr. Ray is a clinical psychologist and father of 10. He specializes in family dynamics and raising children. He teaches parents how to wield authority with selfconfidence and how to reduce worry, guilt and frustration. His radio program can be heard on 89.7 in Toledo and 88.1 in Sandusky. He has appeared on Oprah, CBS This Morning and Jenny Jones. His appearance is sponsored by a mothers’ group started by Fr. Ferris called

Dr. Ray Guarendi

Moms Are “Be You-tiful in Christ. The group of 30 to 50 mostly stayat-home mothers meets twice a month to share ideas and support each other. This old-fashioned idea of face-to-face talk occurred to Fr. Ferris a few years ago when he was a pastor at a church in Tiffin. He wanted to encourage communication among parishioners when he recalled his childhood visiting his grandmother’s house in a neighborhood where the homes were close together. “Houses that were built 100 years ago had porches in front. People would communicate with each other, wave and say good morning. But, if you look at the way

we build houses today, we have a patio on the back of the house and fence all the way around so we can’t see anybody. Or, we go into a dark family room with the television. That’s not social. That’s not healthy.” Fr. Ferris was familiar with the national Christian mothers group, MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). He sought to pattern a similar group for mothers who have older children. “It’s normal for moms to get together to talk and I still think moms need that today,” he said. Patti Greenhill, an Elmore resident and mother of three children ages 11, 14 and 17, is the coordinator. She says the group provides bonding, encouragement and support for mostly stay-at-home moms from

the joint parishes of St. Boniface and Our Lady of Lourdes. The group meets on the first and third Monday of the month from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes. Christian moms of other denominations are invited to attend. The group’s main focus is setting boundaries in parenting, and exploring the dynamics of marriage. “We give whatever information we can to help moms be better mothers, better parents and better women of God.” Dr. Ray’s talk and this mother’s group blend two needed practices in a culture that has grown increasingly dependent on electronic devices, organized sports and families with two working parents. While there is nothing inherently bad with any of these things, they all reduce the time adults spend with each other in face-to-face conversation solving everyday problems and developing strategies to raise their children. For example, Twitter and Facebook limit the characters you can use, texting is cumbersome for more than a short message and in a phone conversation you miss the gesturing, facial expressions, eye contact and touch you can have face to face. Each communication method has its strengths and weaknesses and while society has become enamored with communication in the virtual world, it’s heartening to see a group of mothers realize the importance of a low-tech, high touch conversation. Dr. Ray will speak at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30. St. Boniface is located at 215 Church Street in Oak Harbor. Call Patti at 419-862-0128 for tickets. A donation of $5 is requested.

Ottawa County prosecutor explains indictment decision in break-in Crime is frightening, worrisome, and terrible, but it is also the source of great interest to the public. A quick count of the number of “true crime” programs on television illustrates just how much interest people have in crime and its effects on society. Indeed, the criminal act, the criminal, the lawyers, law enforcement, and the justice process can all combine to make fascinating news. So, it is unfortunate for those hungry for news that the requirements of justice and due process at times interfere with allencompassing reporting. This interference is the result of certain ethical constraints that require prosecutors to not disclose facts about pending cases. But even more unfortunate is that, when these facts are not supplied, some will assume things about cases that are simply not true. The result can be a news story

that is more sensational than newsworthy. It is my hope that this article and others like it may help citizens to better understand what the process of justice was in some of the sensationalized cases. The example under focus here involves a case that was recently concluded. The case involved repeated attempts to enter the family home of a state office holder. The attempts were caught on video and the would-be burglar was apprehended in the act. Five days later, the perpetrator was indicted by a grand jury. Speculation was almost immediate that the case received special attention resulting in a quick indictment. But the facts behind that indictment

...the facts behind the indictment are not nearly as titillating as the speculation.

are not nearly as titillating as the speculation. Ottawa County grand juries meet, on average, every three weeks. So one important and random factor in the timing of any indictment is simply when the next grand jury is scheduled after a crime is committed. Ottawa County’s most recent grand jury met on Sept. 10, 2014. The crimes in-

dicted on that day were committed months or years earlier. But one crime considered was only two days old. Other factors might also enter into the indictment process. Some crimes take months or years to discover, and once discovered, must be properly investigated. On the other hand, the nature of the crime may demand immediate action. For example, a danger to public safety must be addressed quickly. In the attempted entry into the office holder’s home, not only did the act require very little investigation since it was captured on video and the perpetrator was apprehended in the act, it also occurred just five days before a scheduled grand jury. Finally, the incident involved an attempted entry of a family home, so public safety required quick action. Indeed, the perpetrator was in also in danger should he have attempted this act against a gunowner’s home. For these reasons, the case was indicted in five days. I stand behind that decision.

Reach in those jeans and pull out those greens.

“

When Tom Welco and his sister Edith Bard moved to Genoa 25 years ago, they became good friends with their neighbor, Dennis Marquardt. Tom and Edith, both receive services from the Ottawa County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Dennis recalls how Tom would stop by his house almost every day, and that not long after, the two began to take fishing trips and go trapping together. Eight years after they began their friendship, Tom learned that Dennis would be moving to Elmore and marrying his fiancée, Judy. This change meant that he and Tom would no longer be seeing each other daily. Dennis reassured his friend that they could meet for fun on the weekends. Now, the pair enjoy breakfast each weekend at either McDonald’s or Tina’s. Dennis remarked that everyone in Elmore probably knows Tom. “If not, Tom who is friendly and outgoing takes it upon himself to meet those he doesn’t know,” Dennis said. Last summer, they went fishing on Kelleys Island. Each spring, they meet and fish at the pond behind the Ottawa County fairgrounds, hoping to catch catfish. This past September, they traveled to Ludington State Park to try their hand at salmon fishing. Dennis and Tom also like to check out bargains at local garage sales. Dennis says he always tells Tom to “reach in those jeans and pull out those greens.” Tom and Dennis, also make it a tradition to go to the local festivals, especially the Portage River Festival and the Grub `n Suds festival. Tom likes to help out at both festivals washing dishes. While the guys are “doing their thing,” Judy and Edith often have their own agenda. They talk on the phone regularly. In 2012,

Dr. William Martin ophthalmologist, medical director and chief surgeon at OptiVue, is offering patients a new bladeless laser cataract treatment technology that provides greater precision, enhanced safety and improved outcomes. The LenSx laser uses 3-D image-guided technology that maps the patient’s eye. A laser then uses the computer-guided image to perform precise incisions that would typically be made by a surgeon with a blade. “The technology is brand new to Northwest Ohio,” Dr. Martin said, adding, “The advantages (over blade surgery) are absolutely staggering.” A cataract is the age-related clouding of the clear lens in the eye, resulting in hazy vision, unusual glare, poor night vision and a reduction in color perception. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, cataracts affect nearly 22 million Americans age 40 and older. By age 80, more than half of all Americans will have a cataract. “Cataract surgery is the most commonly-performed surgery in the U.S. so there is a huge need for this, espe-

Dr. William Martin

cially as the population ages,” he said. “I’ve probably done over 20,000 cataract procedures in my career – my staff tells me it’s closer to 30,000 – and even with that level of experience, there are always problems that can arise,” he said. “With this new technology, the imaging component gives a very highly detailed, three-dimensional image of the anterior part of the eye, offering an extremely precise view of all the layers of the cornea, parts of the iris, the lens structure,” he said. “Using these detailed images, I structure how I want the laser to make the inci-

sions,” he said. “The laser performs about 70 percent of the procedure – the most difficult and the most dangerous and in many ways, and the part that is most likely to determine outcome.” The procedure also includes incisions designed to treat astigmatism, if necessary, along with implantation of a permanent intraocular lens to correct the patient’s farsightedness, nearsightendess and even reading vision. “When I was training, the paradigm of cataract surgery was to try to make the vision better than when the patient had the

cataract,” Dr. Martin said. “Now the paradigm is to make patients’ vision better than before they ever got cataracts – in some cases, better than they had in their entire life.” Because most vision changes in adulthood are related to changes in the lens and developing cataracts, once a cataract has been treated, vision generally doesn’t change much, Dr. Martin said. “If any vision changes develop, a patient can either opt to wear corrective lenses or come back for laser treatment to correct the vision,” Dr. Martin said. Dr. Martin can relate to the elation patients feel when they achieve clear vision without the aid of glasses or contacts. “I started wearing glasses when I was 5 years old. Since my cataract was treated, I haven’t worn glasses or contacts for anything. I was able to perform surgery the day after my treatment without glasses or contacts,” he said. “I tell patients that typically, they can expect to be back to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, but for some patients it may take longer,” he added. To find out more about cataract treatment using the LenSx laser, or to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure, call OptiVue in Oregon at 419-693-4444.

Flu shot season Influenza season is rapidly approaching, and the Sandusky County Health Department offers the reminder that now is the time to plan for getting your family’s annual flu shots. The optimal time for receiving a flu shot is mid-October through November, however, physicians may choose to immunize high risk children beginning in September. Because flu season generally lasts through March and sometimes into April, it is important not to receive a flu shot too early in order to assure protection throughout the whole flu season. Influenza is a respiratory illness, characterized by headache, fever, cough and

body aches. Generally flu season lasts from November through May, with the peak occurring in February. Protection from influenza vaccine peaks two weeks after vaccination and will diminish over the course of six months, thus the reason for needing yearly boosters. The influenza vaccine is recommended for all persons age 6 months and up. Children age 6 months to 9 years who have not been previously vaccinated need two doses of vaccine. For previously vaccinated children, only one dose (beginning in mid-October) is needed. The Sandusky County Health Department will begin its influenza vacccine campaign September 24 with a clinic from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. No appointment is necessary. The clinic is located at 2000 Countryside Drive, Fremont. For more information, and for additional clinic times, visit www.alwayschoosehealth.com or find the Sandusky County Health Department on Facebook and Twitter.

Ways to make your retirement savings work harder By Adam Cufr So much attention gets paid to the growth (or decline) of the stock market that I fear we can become hypnotized by it and fall prey to sloppy fundamentals from time to time. How do I know this? Because many of the people we work with admit to receiving each investment statement and simply doing the old, “Is it up or is it down and by how much?� analysis. The performance of the portfolio is the only metric that receives any attention. For a moment, I want to ask you to consider a few different ways of looking at your financial world that may increase the total value of your hard-earned assets. Reduced spending increases “wealth�: Let’s say the investments in your nest egg average 5 percent return between retirement and your demise, just to keep the math simple. For every $1,000 of annual income you need during retirement, you need $20,000 of accumulated savings ($1,000/.05). Thus, if you need $40,000 of income per year from your investments (not counting Social Security, pensions,

etc.) then you will need $800,000 of savings. Using this math, if you are able to live on $10,000 less per year, that’s the equivalent of adding $200,000 to your nest egg. Do you see how this works? And this doesn’t factor in the tax reduction of withdrawing less taxable income each year. One more year of work huge pay raise: What if you chose to work just one more year before retiring from paid work? Working an additional year can significantly increase your retirement income in several ways. Every year that you can postpone withdrawing money from your nest egg, the more that money can grow. Let’s say you are 62 and earning $80,000 a year. You’ve saved half a million dollars, and it is earning 5 percent on average. If you wait one more year before retiring, you earn an additional $80,000 of income from your job and you save a year’s retirement expenses of, say, $50,000. That’s money that won’t have to come out of your nest egg now, and it is gaining interest of $2,500 ($50,000 x 5 percent). When you add it up, it means you actually are making $132,500 by choosing to work one more year. And that doesn’t even in-

cent reduction in total tax owed. That’s like growing your money without taking on more risk. Discover the hidden costs of investing: Did you know that owning mutual funds may be much costlier than you thought? The average mutual fund may have internal expenses of 3.17 percent. According to several high profile studies (Price 3/1/10, Bernicke 4/4/11, Benz 10/27/09) mutual funds are not required to disclose the extent to which fees act against mutual fund real returns. The consequence is lower returns for the same amount of risk in an investment portfolio. If you were able to reduce the fees from 3.17 percent to 2.00 percent, you’d see a 40 percent reduction of internal fees. A reduction of fees means you keep more of the returns, allowing you to take less risk for the same results or net higher potential returns with a similar risk profile. There is no doubt that great investment returns are what we’re all after. Please do not overlook opportunities to enhance the total value of your assets by using a holistic approach to your planning. Sure, the headlines aren’t as sexy but the benefits can be significant.

clude the 7–8 percent boost you get in your Social Security benefits by waiting an additional year. If you are questioning whether you are going to have enough to retire, one more year will make a profound difference in your overall retirement income. Knowing that, you might have a whole new outlook as you head off to work in that last year. Cut Uncle Sam’s Allowance : H e r e ’ s another idea. Many retirees have money in tax qualified accounts (IRA’s, 401K’s) that will trigger income tax when withdrawn. They may also have some already taxed money as well (Roth IRA or non-IRA mutual fund account). For simplicity’s sake, let’s assume a 20 percent tax rate. That means the IRS “owns� 20 percent of your IRA and 401K accounts if you intend to use the money for retirement income. Rather than use only 401K and IRA money to create income, what if you used a combination of taxable and non-taxable accounts to maximize the 15 percent tax bracket, rather than push income into the 25 percent bracket. The effect is to increase the value of your nest egg by the amount of the tax savings. In this case, it’s a 25 per-

Genoa, Eastwood to battle for conference supremacy By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com For the last 12 years, the road to the Northern Buckeye Conference or Suburban Lakes League gridiron championship went through Eastwood or Genoa. Since 2002, all NBC or SLL titles have been won, outright or shared, by either the Eagles or Comets, with each team winning six apiece. Genoa has won the last two NBC titles and claimed four consecutive SLL championships from 2007-10 while Eastwood, which defeated the Comets, 25-23, to win the inaugural NBC title in ’11, won or shared five straight SLL championships from 2002-06. It could be the same again this year, although Lake and a couple other NBC teams may have something to say about that. Both Genoa and Eastwood were 2-1 heading into conference play last Friday night. The opportunity is still there for them to make a run at the league title and qualify for the playoffs. Eastwood has high expectations this season. Despite losing quarterback Jake Schmeltz, a three-year starter, the Eagles return 16 starters and have 18 seniors on the roster. They opened the season by defeating Start, 42-7, lost 32-22 to Clyde and beat Oak Harbor, 31-0. Eastwood is close to being 3-0, considering that they led the Fliers, a Division III state semifinalist last year, 14-3 and 22-17, before falling behind. “The first thing that we want to do is figure out what our identity is, what direction we want to go offensively,” said Eastwood coach Jerry Rutherford, who has always looked at the three non-conference games as a good way to identify his team’s weaknesses. “We’ve been able to do that. We’ve got some pretty good running backs. Devin Snowden and Grant Geiser both rushed for over 100 yards against Oak Harbor. “I think we just continue to get better every week. Our defense is playing pretty well. We’re pretty solid against the run. We’re making plays, and we always know with our schedule, our first three games are going to be tough — it gives us the opportunity to see what we need to work on.” Eastwood’s patented wing-T offense, as well as the play of their defense, has fueled them to their two wins so far. In the win over the Rockets, Eastwood stopped Oak Harbor twice in the first quarter, holding firm on a goal-line stand and intercepting a pass in the end zone after two early fumbles gave the Rockets possession deep in Eagle territory. From there, the Eastwood offense got things going before Snowden scored on a 56-yard touchdown run to put the Eagles ahead for good. Fellow running back Geiser helped to pace the rushing attack, too, scoring three touchdowns as Eastwood built their lead. In the win over the Spartans, Snowden rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns and Geiser scored on an 81-yard touchdown run in the loss to the Fliers. But when the running game isn’t working, junior quarterback Zach Thompson will be called upon to move the ball via the passing attack. “We have a good quarterback in Zach Thompson,” Rutherford said. “He’s progressed really well for us, and he can run the offense. I told him the other day, ‘You’re a good wing-T quarterback.’ This

Genoa vs. Eastwood All-Time Series

Eastwood senior back Devin Snowden and a lead blocker try to smash their way through Start’s defensive line in the Eagles’ 42-7 season opening victory. (Press photo by Lee Welch/FamilyPhotoGroup.com) could be the start of something for him.” Genoa, meanwhile, is coming off a 27-19 loss to Port Clinton, a game the Comets wish they could have back. Leading 20-7 in the third quarter, Genoa fumbled and Redskins linebacker Stefan Daniels returned the ball 22 yards for a touchdown, cutting the deficit to six points before Port Clinton took the lead for good on a long touchdown pass midway through the fourth quarter. Plus, the Comets outgained the Redskins in total offense, 357-194, but 10 penalties for 82 yards cost Genoa dearly. Genoa’s other two games, victories over Waite (41-14) and Oak Harbor (33-25), saw their rushing attack work wonders as running backs Jake Wojciechowski, Nick Wolfe and Andrew Belcik have had plenty of success in this young season running the ball. In the loss to the Redskins, the trio ran for 296 yards, led by Wojciechowski’s 153, followed by Belcik (91) and Wolfe (52). Wojciechowski, who has 441 rushing yards on the season, ran for 150 yards in the win over the Rockets and Wolfe added 142, including a 57-yard touchdown reception, and in the win over the Indians, Belcik contributed with a 75-yard kickoff return for a score and a 40-yard touchdown run. And when things aren’t working on the ground, senior quarterback Kyle Edwards is capable of moving the ball through the air. Rutherford talked about stopping the Comets’ wing-T attack, one that mirrors Eastwood’s. “You’re going to have to tackle and get guys to the ball,” he said. “Their line is still pretty good, they have three starters back. They’ll keep pounding on you and you’ve got to hang in there and keep getting guys to the ball and gang tackle. What eventually will happen is they’ll play-action pass or run the counter and then you’ll be in

You can’t have a bunch of three-and-outs and give them the ball back. We’ll have to move the ball offensively.” Rutherford, now in his 33rd year coaching the Eagles, has developed an appreciation for the rivalry that exists between Genoa and Eastwood, one that reached new heights when Mike Vicars and Tim Spiess came to town in ’07 and turned things around for the Comets. “In 2007, we had won five straight league titles, shared or outright, and they beat us in ’07,” Rutherford said. “And pretty much, except for ’11, they’ve beat us every year. It’s a good rivalry. They’re going to play hard, and they’re physical. I think they’re continuing with what they’ve been doing. It’s going to be a physical, hard-hitting game. I think we’ve always respected each other, our programs respect each other, and I think that will continue.” First-year Genoa head coach Paul Patterson came in toting a resume that includes rich experience in the Ohio high school football coaching ranks dating

6-0-2 start

Comets ahead of schedule By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Nicole Dominique only plays at one speed. Dominique, a four-year starter and a second-team All-Northern Buckeye Conference selection last year, is a senior defender/midfielder at Genoa. Her fullspeed-ahead approach to soccer has helped lead her into five concussions. “I’ve had three of them — bad ones — in high school that have put me out (of action), and I’ve had a couple smaller ones,” Dominique said. “I have a lot of collisions on the field because I’m aggressive. I’ve just always been aggressive on the field because I feel I have to give my best effort out there. Backing down is not an option for me. I’ve always been the type to give it my all.” That’s why, when first-year coach Erica Lipstraw was asked to pick a player to speak for her teammates about the Comets’ 6-0-2 start this season, she chose Dominique. “Nicole never gives up,” Lipstraw said of the two-time team captain. “She plays the hardest on the field. She will go after anything and she’s the most aggressive player I have. She will give anyone pressure and she’s not afraid to back down. She just goes after it and you can’t tell her to slow down.” Players with Dominique’s drive and tenacity was just what Lipstraw was looking for. She brought her younger sister, Sara, on board as her assistant coach because they have the same vision about what it will take to make Genoa an NBC contender. Instead of taking baby steps in that direction, however, the Comets have taken a giant leap. Genoa finished 8-9 last season, losing its final four games including backto-back shutout losses to NBC champion Woodmore. The last loss was a 5-0 whipping at the hands of the Wildcats in the first round of the sectional tournament. Last Saturday the Comets beat Woodmore 5-2 for their sixth win at the halfway mark of the regular season. Genoa has also beaten Central Catholic, Rossford, Northwood, Otsego and Swanton, and has tied both Lake and Oak Harbor by identical 2-2 scores. The Comets have outscored their eight opponents by a 34-9 margin. “I wouldn’t say we’re ahead of schedule,” Erica Lipstraw said. “The coaches had it in our heads that’s where we wanted to be, and where they could be. We knew if they would come out and play their game like they showed us, they had the talent and the knowledge to put everything together this year.” Lipstraw, who played her high school soccer at Oak Harbor, said her inaugural Genoa squad has senior leadership in bunches and a group of girls who have a

passion for the game. “They love coming out to soccer practice,” Lipstraw said. “I don’t know how many people can say they like to practice. These girls want to get better. They have a lot of heart.” The Comets are also unselfish, Lipstraw said. Genoa has 18 assists on its 34 goals. “Right now they are making each other look amazing because they play well together,” Lipstraw said. “It didn’t come right away, and we’re still working on it, but they’re a completely different team than they have been in years past.” Dominique, who said she has never played for a female soccer coach, said she thought Lipstraw was “very intimidating” when they first met. “She scared me,” Dominique said. “She was very intense. These coaches are awesome. They’ve taught me not only to play for myself but for my teammates and to never give up and play with heart.” The Comets’ roster consists of eight freshmen, three sophomores, three juniors and five seniors, with usually 3-4 seniors in the starting lineup. Junior forward Mollie McGhee leads the team with nine goals, and sophomore midfielder Makennah Billegas has six goals and five assists. Lipstraw credited seniors Dominique, forward Madison Sheahan, defenders Alexa Encheff and Katy Schwalbe and midfielder Grace Ortiz for making the Comets whole. “Madison has really stepped up and played a vocal leadership role for us, and so has Alexa, who is playing about 80 minutes a game,” Lipstraw said. “Grace has been one of the biggest senior leaders this summer with getting girls to practices, and she’s becoming more aggressive on the field.” Genoa’s fast start has also been aided by the play of sophomore keeper Emily Edwards, who has 50 saves. “Emily is one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen,” Lipstraw said. “Her hand-eye coordination is incredible. She is someone I can count on every single game.” Sophomore defender Alexis Schmaker has been a workhorse all season, with more than 150 intercepts. “She has only come out of a game for about two minutes this year,” Lipstraw said. “She’s tough. She’s basically the anchor of the defense.” Dominique said Lipstraw has given the Comets reason to believe they can contend for an NBC title and make a deep run in the postseason. “She’s pushed us so hard, and where we came from in the past to now is tremendous,” Dominique said. “It’s a totally different team. We act different and our attitudes are different from previous years. We work together now and we work as a team and we never give up.”

Flyers, Rettig have plans before QB begins ‘Sequel’ By Jeffrey D Norwalk Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There is no reason for Lake football fans to fret about the season ending in late October. Best case scenario could be November or even early December. That’s because the team is shooting to make the playoffs this year. Then, for the next four autumns or so, Lake fans will be able to catch “Quarterback Jacob Rettig: The Sequelâ€? about 47½ miles down Interstate 75 at the University of Findlay. The schoolrecord-breaking QB verbally committed this past summer to play his college football there. “I chose Findlay because it’s the perfect fit for me and my family, and the goal all along has been to get a good education and to continue to play football,â€? shares Rettig, 17. In addition to being courted by the Oilers, Rettig was also pursued by Ohio University, Youngstown State, and a smattering of other Division II schools before officially giving his verbal to the 68-year-old UF gridiron program on July 17. “I think Findlay is the best opportunity for me to succeed, and they also run a spread offense with a lot of reads and options,â€? he adds, “which I’m very excited about, because it’s designed for a quarterback to succeed. The first time the coaches down there saw me in person, they were very impressed, and have been very interested ever since. They have welcomed me in very well. They’ve just been awesome. “I know a few of the players down there, too,â€? adds the senior, “and when I went for a visit, I met a few others, and they seemed very excited to have me down there. And the campus is relatively small, and very easy to maneuver around in a short time, which I love. “The football facility is very nice,â€? continues Rettig, “and they’re actually in the process of building a new stadium, which will have turf. Findlay just seems like a beautiful city to me, with many things to do. That really caught my eye.â€? Right now, Rettig’s focus lies solely with the Flyers. Lake started 3-0 entering all-important Northern Buckeye Conference play, outscoring non-league opposition by a combined score of 146-28. In an opening night drubbing of host

Lake senior quarterback Jared Rettig scrambles in the Flyers' 50-7 non-league dismantling of Lemoyne Road rival Northwood at Lake Community Stadium. Rettig got a block from six-feet tall, 200 pound senior offensive lineman Austin Hess (56) and senior wide reciever Todd Walters (10) looks on. (Press photo by Heather Rettig) Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic, Rettig was steady, throwing for 124 yards and one touchdown of 26 yards to senior wide receiver Todd Walters, running for two fiveyard scores and leading Lake to victory, 54-15, behind the punishing running of Branden Short (145 yards, three scores). One week later, against longtime rival Northwood in the traditional “Battle of Lemoyne Road� at Flyer Community Stadium, the 6-foot-1, 198 pound senior kept his poise, and his emotions even-keel during a two-day game (because of lightning Friday) and proceeded to torch the Rangers for 389 yards through the air. He completed 15-of-20 passes with TD strikes of 19, 8, 13, 66, and 96 yards, to pace the Flyers’ lopsided win, 50-7. In the Flyers’ non-conference finale against Ottawa Hills, Rettig would lead

Lake to a 42-6 victory while padding his already-impressive ‘14 stats to the tune of 178 yards through the air, on 8-of-10, with touchdown passes of 36, 60, and 24 yards. For those keeping track, that’s already 691 yards and nine touchdown passes through only a little over a quarter of a season. Some high school quarterbacks need a full 10-game season to get there, while others never do. Of course, the meat of the tough NBC schedule remains. So far in two-plus seasons, Rettig has thrown for 5,876 yards with 72 touchdowns. His success is not just because of the bullet of a spiral he throws, or his footwork, which allows him to elude pressure in the pocket. It could also be his football IQ, to go along with his 3.6 GPA in the classroom. And, in a top game sense, who could forget the 602 yards and seven touchdown

passes, and 33 completions on 47 attempts he threw during a 54-40 shootout win over NBC rival Elmwood during his breakout year as a sophomore? Still, don’t talk to JR about a so-called “storybookâ€? high school career. Quite frankly‌he doesn’t have the time for it. It’s all about this season. “This team is one-of-a-kind, and the bond that we have with each other is just unreal. We’re a family,â€? interjects Rettig, who wants to see his team fighting for an NBC title and the program becoming a consistent presence in the postseason playoffs every November. “This team has other weapons, too,â€? Rettig continues, “like our running back, Branden Short, who has size and speed, and is very dangerous. I’m just glad he’s in the backfield with me, so I don’t ever have to go up against him. And also, we have very good receivers in Connor Bowen, Todd Walters, and Adam Duncan. “Connor is more of the possession guy, who makes catches when we need them,â€? praises Rettig, “while Todd brings all the assets of a wide receiver to the table. He’s tall, he’s fast, he’s big, and he’s a playmaker for us. And then there’s Duncan, who is the kind of playmaker who can go to the end zone whenever he touches the football. “Our offensive line is also a great unit together,â€? he says. “All summer long, they lifted together. They hung out and became close. And it all starts with them. These guys are all my brothers, and I will always remember the times we’ve spent together for the rest of my life. What I’ll miss most about these guys is competing with them. I’ve grown up playing with them, whether in the backyard, or under the lights on Friday night. I’ll just really miss being around these guys. “Going into this season, our goal has been to win the NBC outright, and to win a home playoff game together,â€? concludes Rettig. “Our goal is to strive to be the best team we possibly can be, and to play with 100 percent effort at all times. And to never give up on your brother beside you. The legacy I want to leave with this football program is this: hard work can take you places you never dreamed of. And to always strive to be a better football player and a better person than you were the day before. Without my teammates and coaches, I wouldn’t be where I am today.â€?

When Jared Rettig graduates, ‘JR2’ could fill QB gap By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com While Lake senior quarterback Jared Rettig’s era be drawing to a close somewhere between Halloween and the holiday season, that doesn’t necessarily mean the tradition of quarterback play by a Rettig has to. Meet Jared’s “littleâ€? brother, Jake‌a 5-foot-11, 204 pound sophomore backup who led Lake’s freshman and junior varsity teams last year, throwing for 1,579 yards and 17 touchdowns. Jake says he’s still learning from the Lake coaching staff, and realizes he’s competing to be the one filling the gap when older brother Jared moves on to the University of Findlay. “I have learned a lot. Such as, mak-

ing sure I have everything under control,� Jacob said. “And that I’m very clear on what I say in the huddle. Jared takes amazing control in the huddle, but he has been doing it since the fifth grade. “Jared always tells me to be louder, and to make sure I speak clearly. He just makes sure I’m a team leader 100 percent of the time. I have seen myself grow a lot. I have also gotten faster and my feet are a lot quicker.� Jacob has his moments on the freshman and JV squads last year, which he hopes will continue when gets a chance at the varsity level, where he’s already gotten some downs place kicking and behind center. “I had six passing touchdowns, and one rushing against Woodmore. And 401 passing yards,� Jake said. “(In a week

two varsity matchup against Northwood), Adam Duncan (the Flyers’ placekicker) started to cramp. So, I had to kick extra points. And Jared held them for me. It was another amazing feeling.� The younger sibling admits he and Jared have their own sibling rivalry, and it spurs them on. “Jared and I are really close. We always played catch with the football outside when I was younger. And yes, we have a little rivalry,� Jake said. “Sometimes in practice, I will throw a good pass, and I will look at some of the players, and say ‘Why am I not starting?’ Just messing around. It’s in almost all the things we do. We play FIFA on the ps3, and we always take it serious. Jared makes sure I work to the best of my ability, and he knows my best, so he won’t stop until I get to my best.�

In reality, Jake is proud of Jared, that’s why he hopes to carry on his brother’s legacy. “He deserves what he has accomplished, and he has done a great job in his career. I knew he had what it takes because he never settles for anything but the best,� Jacob said. “He will do great at the collegiate level. I think it is awesome that he has a full ride to Findlay. It’s going to be a great feeling to carry on the Rettig tradition of playing quarterback at Lake. “Jared and I are very different, but we do have some similarities. I love to pass the ball, and I love throwing the long ball. And Jared loves to run every chance he gets. But, we are similar too, because we know we can’t pass the ball every time, so we know when it’s time to (tuck it) and run.�

Hovis, Dyer vital to making Gibsonburg’s “D� work By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg senior Tyler Hovis wears No. 54 and junior teammate Josh Dyer wears No. 45. If you’re preparing your football team to play Gibsonburg, you’d better tell your offensive guys to make sure they block those two players, but it’s easier said than done. Hovis and Dyer are starting at middle linebacker for the Golden Bears for the third year in a row. Last year they combined for 197 tackles in the Bears’ 4-2-5 alignment, and Hovis was named first team All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference and Dyer was a second team selection. “It’s been a three-year process and they’ve gotten better each year, and that’s nice to see,� fifth-year coach Steve Reser said. “Tyler has always been kind of a maniac on defense, and Josh is good with his quickness. They both like to hit. We’re happy with both of them and their progress.� Gibsonburg started this season 3-0, with non-league victories over Elmwood (37-30), Lakota (49-12), and Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic (38-7). It is the first 3-0 start for the program in more than a decade. Gibsonburg has finished 5-5, 4-6 and 5-5 the last three years. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound Hovis, a team captain who has started at left offensive tackle the last two years and at center as a freshman, has 15 tackles, caused one fumble and recovered a fumble in two games. A state qualifier in the shot put last spring, Hovis got to line up at fullback against Lakota and scored on a 4-yard run. “It was kind of surreal,� he said. “I’ve scored before, but off fumble recoveries and stuff like that. This one was pretty awesome. Most of the time it’s everybody else (doing the scoring) and I’m the workhorse. It’s nice to get some recognition and show that I’m not just some fat kid on the line.� Reser said Hovis plays football with a chip on his shoulder, and that’s not a bad thing. “He’s a great young man and he does well in school,� Reser said, “but he’s a line-

He’s got a chip, and we want it there. He just likes to come downhill and hit. He played early in his career because of his aggressiveness. He’s also learned a lot and become very coachable.� Smaller programs like Gibsonburg often use their best players on both sides of the ball. Hovis, however, makes it clear that if he has his choice, he’d rather be known for defense. “I only play offense because I get to play defense after we score,� Hovis said. “I love playing defense. I love hitting. That’s what you gotta love about football. My freshman year I was kind of hesitant and didn’t know how to read plays. I was always looking in the backfield. Now I don’t take my eyes off the guard. I’m flying as soon as that ball is snapped.�

Hovis said he’s seen a big difference in Dyer’s play on defense this season. The 5-10, 180-pound Dyer, who also starts at running back, rushed for 247 yards and three touchdowns on 86 carries last year. “He’s definitely more aggressive,� Hovis said. “He always kind of wanted to get his nose in there, but he never really did. This year he’s flying through the line and making plays like crazy. He’s a great athlete and he makes great plays. He has good vision of where to go.�

Dyer has 14½ tackles, including three for loss, and has caused one fumble in Gibsonburg’s first two games. Hovis said he and Dyer don’t feel the need to compete for individual statistics. “It’s not really like that,â€? Hovis said. “Yes, me and him are both pretty good linebackers and we’re good at what we do. Our main goal is to win the game and have a good season. Whatever stats we rack up, that’s what it is. It’s not a competition; we just have to win the game.â€? Dyer, who also plays basketball and runs track, remembers being “nervousâ€? for the first game of his freshman year, against Elmwood. “It was a big step up from being in middle school and going up against guys my size and quite a bit bigger,â€? Dyer said. “I thought I did pretty good that game with my responsibilities.â€? Dyer had 69 tackles in 2012, with three sacks and two fumble recoveries. He said he’s improved in several areas since then. “I’m actually going up and meeting linemen and not ‘catching’ them,â€? Dyer said. “Before, I would come back a few steps and it would end up being intimidating. Now, it’s good. I’m able to read keys better, read the guards, and I’m a lot more comfortable at linebacker now.â€? Hovis added that Dyer has been a good mentor in practice and during games. “We don’t talk that much during games because we work together pretty well, and we know how each other works,â€? Dyer said. “I like how aggressive he gets. It’s been a great experience playing with Tyler and playing middle linebacker.â€? Hovis and Dyer both have a dream, as do the rest of their teammates. After mediocre seasons the past three years, the two linebackers are absolutely focused on making Gibsonburg’s program relevant again.

essage of the

It is almost always more enjoyable to do something that we do well rather than something at which we fail miserably. Whether playing a sport or a musical instrument, the better we get at it, the more pleasure we usually derive from the activity. But this doesn't mean that we have to be virtuosos. Not everyone can play the cello like Yoyo Ma or play tennis like Venus Williams. The good news is that it doesn't really matter how well we play. What gives most of us satisfaction is that we are getting better. When we start to learn something new, the learning curve is steep, and so we see rapid improvement, which generates a lot of satisfaction.

eek: The Joy of Virtuosity After a while however, we inevitably hit a plateau, where it requires considerably more effort to improve. These plateaus are the tough spots where we have to persevere and redouble our efforts. We will be rewarded, but it takes time and effort. Therefore, we should remember the old adage: that if it's worth doing; it's worth doing right. And, since many activities take years to perfect, it may be best to also tell ourselves that if it's worth doing, it's worth doing poorly when we're just starting out. We should just do it with the aim of getting better at it! In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to want. - R.S.V. Proverbs 14:23

The family of Douglas L. Jensen would like to express their thanks to ALL of you who helped with food, flowers, hugs or visited and had a shoulder to lean on. One of Doug’s last requests was to have a party, a celebration of life; he wanted family, friends and lots of food and NO TEARS. We had the best party for him just the way he wanted, however, we think a few tears were shed. His passing was too soon; even forever would have been too soon. We, as his family, would like to express our deepest thanks to everyone who helped make it a day to remember forever. God bless you ALL. Rest easy, Dad. We miss you every minute of every day, but we know you are being well taken care of on the other side of heaven’s gates. ~ The Jensen Family ~
