Lake Twp., Northwood affected

Northwestern Water district issues advisory By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com It’s almost becoming a quarterly ritual for residents living in the eastern half of the City of Northwood and in Lake Township, including the Village of Millbury; notices arrive from the Northwestern Water & Sewer District advising them the allowable levels of a disinfectant by-product have been exceeded. Notices were distributed earlier this month to consumers along the district’s waterline 200, which is linked to the City of Oregon’ s distribution system. The advisory informs consumers the average level of trihalomethanes during the four quarters prior to the July 1 – Sept. 30, 2015 monitoring period was 0.10 mg/L (milligrams per liter). The allowable standard for TTHM is 0.08 mg/L. The average level over the four quarters preceding the April 1 – June 30 2015 monitoring was 0.086 mg/L and the average during four quarters prior to the Jan. 1 – March 31 monitoring was 0.092 mg/L. Environmental Protection Agency rules require informing the public each quarter of the rolling average for the prior year, Dan Wickard, the district’s superintendent, said.

“

As they do one thing it causes something else to happen. Every third quarter is when we hit the high numbers.

“

Members of the Woodmore school board agreed Tuesday by a 4-1 vote to a payment of $29,000 to Cara Brown, a Woodville resident, who filed a lawsuit alleging the board repeatedly violated Ohio’s open records and meeting laws. A settlement was reached in July by mediation in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court. Board president Steve Huss cast the sole no vote. In addition to the payment, the board has undergone a training session by the Ohio School Boards Association and OSBA will monitor future board meetings. Jeff Chambers, a spokesman for the OSBA, said two staff members of the association were present at Tuesday’s meeting. A settlement agreement signed by Brown states OSBA will attend Woodmore board meetings until the OSBA determines the board: • Has prepared adequate agendas for its meetings. • Has prepared and provided sufficiently detailed minutes of meetings. • Has provided reasonable notice for scheduled board and committee meetings as well as work sessions or organizational meetings. • Has prepared agendas and minutes for committee meetings. • If applicable, has not appeared to discuss or deliberated privately in advance of a meeting unless in accordance with an appropriately-conducted executive session. On Thursday, Brown said she was satisfied with the resolution of her complaint. “As long as the board is making progress so that the entire district can move forward then that is satisfaction,” she said. “For me the long-term goal was to keep the board progressing. Public money means public business conducted in open meetings.” During Tuesday’s meeting, Corinna Bench, a board member, said she’s reviewed the board’s policies and said mem-

He said the warmer summer temperatures create the conditions for harmful algal blooms and other problems. “The (Oregon) water plant has to increase chemicals such as chlorine which can kill the algal bloom but as a by-product we can still get organics that come through the plant. When they react with the chlorine that’s what produces the TTHM,” Wickard said. “As they do one thing it causes something else to happen. Every third quarter is when we hit the high numbers. The following quarters may be lower but the rolling average isn’t below the threshold.” According to the City of Oregon web-

site, the city is investing in an ozone treatment process that will allow it to remove and treat for organics with much less chlorine. The upgrade is expected to be completed early in 2017. “They’re working out the process to put in some high level treatment that will take care of both the algal bloom and TTHM problems,” Wickard said. “We’re very confident in what they’re going to do.” The notices state that the TTHM levels don’t pose an immediate health risk but advise anyone with specific health concerns to consult their doctor. Long-term consumption – “over many years” – may result in liver, kidney or central nervous system problems and an increased risk of cancer, the notices say. “You have to have a chlorine residual to make sure the water is disinfected and you don’t have bacteria of fecal material present,” Wickard said, adding the district is conducting maintenance efforts such as flushing to keep fresher water in the system. “The longer the chlorine has contact with the organics the more TTHM is likely to be created,” he said. “So if we do more flushing we can try to reduce that long detention time.” According to the federal EPA website, Continued on page 2

Water Continued from front page trihalomethanes are a group of four chemicals formed along with disinfection byproducts when chlorine or other disinfectants used to control microbial contaminants in drinking water react with organic or inorganic matter in water.

Settlement Continued from front page bers should consider changes to make it easier for the public to address the board during meetings and to be placed on the agenda. Calling for more flexibility, she said her suggestions were to “get the ball rolling.”

Woodmore Elementary to be razed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

Watching the monarchs

Dylan Kemley, a second grade student in Deb Gilcher’s class, Genoa Elementary, has become something of a Monarch butterfly expert. His mother Dyan has brought in Monarchs so students can learn about their life cycle. According to Monarch Watch, the monarch population in the U.S. has declined due to the loss of habitat from development, intensive agriculture, and herbicides affecting the monrach’s food source, which is milkweed. The monarchs will be released for their fall migration. Top photo, Dylan peers into an aquarium that holds three chrysalises. (Press photos by Ken Grosjean)

Two winners will be chosen from any neighborhood within the 43605 ZIP code area. Two winners will receive a certificate of recognition as well as a Mejier $50 gift card and a “Beautiful Home” yard sign. Nominations, which must include a current photo, may be mailed or handdelivered to attention of Jodi Gross, community builder at the East Toledo Family Center, 1020 Varland Ave., Toledo, OH 43605. The deadline is Friday, Oct. 2.

The Woodmore school board has approved a resolution to proceed with the bidding process for demolishing the former elementary school building but board members are divided on how to meet the district’s need for storage space. The board Tuesday voted 3-2 for taking the preliminary steps needed to raze the building. A proposal that’s been floated to retain for storage the wing of the building that housed kindergarten and first grade classes drew support from Steve Huss and Julie Bowman, the board’s president and vice president respectively, but Joe Liszak, Dan Hoppe and Corinna Bench voted for the resolution. A member of the board’s buildings and grounds committee, Bowman said a recent inspection of the wing and materials being stored there, indicates the district is using about 6,000 cubic feet of space for storage. Suitable space in other district buildings is limited, she said, and Linda Bringman, district superintendent, added the administration has been unable to locate rental units in Elmore or Woodville. She cautioned that demolition would be scheduled and completed quickly once contract bids have been received. Huss, quoting figures from a construction firm, said building a pole barn would cost between $60 and $100 per square foot for a basic facility but the costs rapidly escalate if it included amenities such as an office, restroom, and heating and air conditioning. He questioned whether the district had the finances to construct a building to meet the needs for storing temperature-sensitive items, saying the costs could easily surpass $100,000. Liszak said the board should get actual construction estimates from several firms before making a decision on a storage building. The district opened a new pre-kindergarten through eighth grade building last year adjacent to the former elementary building. In other business, the board approved

a request by Bringman to freeze her pay for the 2015-16 school year.

Northwood

Cares Committee seeks its own festival The City of Northwood Community Cares Committee is hosting a golf outing at noon on Sunday, Oct. 4 at Sugar Creek Golf Course in Elmore to raise funds to develop a community pride day. Although it is not an officially sanctioned event by the city, proceeds from the fundraiser will be used for the creation of an annual festival starting next year. City Administrator Bob Anderson said the city wants to have its own city pride event, similar to surrounding communities. Oregon has Oregon Fest and Boomfest, and Walbridge has Rally by the Rails. Northwood is long overdue to have its own festival, he said. Even Bono has “Bonofest,” said Anderson. “It would be nice to have something here in Northwood,” said Fire Chief Joel Whitmore, who is organizing the event. Last year, the city hosted the Northwest Firefighters Association, which had a parade and festival. “We had a really great day. It brought a lot of people to Northwood,” said Anderson. “Part of the festivities was a party with a couple of bands, a beer tent and a few vendors.” He and Whitmore discussed the possibility of holding an annual event for the city. “We’re trying to show a positive image, that we have community pride, how it’s great to live here. Everyone else has this but us,” said Anderson. “So Joel and I started talking about `How do we do this?’ We need a date, a couple of bands, and a location. Then the idea of seed money came up.” Anderson said it would have to be an independent fundraising event, separate from any financial support of the city. “I wasn’t going to ask council to sponsor it,” said Anderson. “If we need to do anything, we have to do this independently. That’s how this golf outing came up. Joel said what if we raise money by doing a golf outing to benefit the city to sponsor a festival - some kind of gathering in the summer or fall of 2016 — to foster pride in Northwood. We don’t know exactly how we’re going to do it, but the golf tournament is to raise seed money for the festival.” A hog roast dinner will immediately follow the golf outing. Whitmore has been successful so far tapping businesses to contribute and sponsor the golf outing. There are also private donations. “We sent out letters to local businesses and people we do business with asking for their help. Obviously, if Northwood is successful, our vendors are going to be successful, too,” he said. “I think we’ve had a really good response. It surprised me how

“

This isn’t a bad place after all. In fact, it’s rather pretty. There’s a lot of stuff going on.

“

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

much response we got from businesses and individuals.”

“Until this group gets non-profit status, all expenditures and money will be accounted for,” said Anderson. Council’s agenda on Sept. 24 was expected to include an ordinance establishing a separate fund for community events like this, said Anderson. Whitmore said there are eight golf teams so far that have signed up for the outing. “The only caveat is we recommend that at least one person in each team to be from Northwood because we want to make it a community event,” he said. Anderson is confident the city will get its annual festival, tentatively called “Community Cares Day,” next year. “This isn’t a bad place at all. In fact, it’s rather pretty. There’s a lot of stuff going on,” said Anderson.

“All Aboard” Whether you are an avid train collector or just a kid at heart, the Sauder Village “All Aboard” Train Event, set for Oct. 3 and 4, will provide a funfilled and memorable way to celebrate fall in Northwest Ohio. The weekend event will include train displays, special train themed prize, rides on the Erie Express train and plenty of time to explore Ohio’s historic past. Again this year, the Swanton Area Railroad and Model Club will have a variety of model trains set-up at Sauder Village. There will also be a garden-scale train display set-up for guests to watch. Throughout the weekend guests can also register for a chance to be a “guest conductor” on the Erie Express train or to win toy trains. There will be drawings held each day for the “guest conductor” and toy train prizes. Historic Sauder Village, located in Archbold, is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sundays from noon-4 p.m. For info, all 1-800-590-9755, visit www.saudervillage.org, like Sauder Village on Facebook or follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

Injured kitten needs a foster home A small kitten with a torn leg needs a foster home and orthopedic surgery to fight off infection. An Oregon clinic, Maumee Bay Veterinary Center, is offering to use its relationship with Veterinary Care Foundation, based in Citra, Florida, to help cover costs of the surgery. On Wednesday, Jeanette Fremont, of Lake Township, was unprepared for a phone call from her brother, who notified her about a kitten he found on US 20, just west of Stony Ridge in Troy Township. “A kitten came out of the bushes and started following him around, as if it was seeking his attention,” said Fremont. Upon further examination, he noticed that one of the kitten’s front legs had been torn off and it was in need of veterinary care. He didn’t know much about cats, so he called his sister, who did. Fremont drove to her brother’s house and put the mostly white kitten in a carrier to take to the 24-hour Animal Emergency & Critical Care Center of Toledo, Inc., on Douglas Road, in Toledo, thinking it would be humanely euthanized. As soon as she picked up the friendly kitten, its cries stopped and it started to purr. When she got to the center, veterinarian Dr. Barb Buford, a graduate of the University of Findlay and Ohio State University, examined the kitten and said it would survive its injury. It was given antibiotics to fight off infection, ate all the cat food it was given, began purring on the scene and stayed overnight. Dr. Buford said the center’s technicians fell in love with the kitten immediately. “The Critical Care Center offered to euthanize the kitten at no cost, but I just didn’t have the heart,” said Fremont. “I was so upset. It looked like it wanted to live so badly, and is so well behaved. It had the will to live. It ate right away. When I found out the cat was doing fine, that it could be saved, I wanted to at least give it a chance. To see that cute little face on that kitten,

and knowing that it’s just beginning its life with a severed leg, I just wanted to reach out and help it.” Dr. Buford told The Press Wednesday night that the kitten, a male, was doing well. “His pain is under control with medication right now,” said Buford. “It was in fairly decent condition when it came in.” Dr. Buford defined his injury as a “traumatic amputation.” “It had a mid humeral amputation, or, in layman’s terms, the middle of its upper arm was torn off.” The kitten may have been hit by a vehicle, caught in an engine, or attacked by another animal, she surmised. “It’s hard to say how it happened. The wound is not fresh and the injury didn’t happen today,” Dr. Buford said. “But it’s an open wound right now and there is a risk of infection.” The kitten, estimated at seven weeks old, will need orthopedic surgery as soon as possible to have the humerus amputated, she said. The kitten had a temperature of 104 degrees and was treated for a possible infection on Thursday. Fremont paid over $300 to get the kitten medical treatment at the Critical Care Center. But she cannot pay for its surgery, estimated between $600 and $800. It will have to wait until funds are raised.

Mental health walk The Wood County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board invites the community to “Stand Up and Walk for Mental Health” Saturday, Oct. 10. Wood County’s second annual mental health walk will begin at the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Wood County Office, 541 W. Wooster St. and continue through City Park, concluding at the NAMI office. For more information about the walk or other NAMI Wood County programs, email amadam@namiwoodcounty.org, or call 419-352-0626. To learn more about WCADAMHS Board agencies and programs, call 419-3528475.

Amazin’ grazin’ “If anyone can find it in their heart to donate towards his surgery, it would be a big help,” she said. The staff named the kitten “Chill” because of its “cool” disposition, despite the severe injury, said Fremont. She renamed the kitten “Cool-Cat Chill.” “He has been so calm through the whole tragedy,” she said. Chill should have a pretty normal life after surgery. “Three-legged animals can do remarkably well,” said Dr. Buford, who owns a three-legged dog. Chill would have to live indoors because it would unlikely be able to effectively fight off a predator or run away as quickly as a four-legged cat. Chill is currently under the care of Maumee Bay Veterinary Center Doctors Kevin J. Soncrant and Heather R. Sydebotham. If you would like to foster Cool-Cat Chill, or donate towards its surgery, visit or contact Maumee Bay Veterinary Center, 5859 Navarre Ave., Oregon, at 419-836-7766. To donate to the Veterinary Care Foundation in Cool-Cat Chill’s name, call 1-888-929-4799, email or visit www.vetcarefoundation.org or mail the donation to the foundation’s Good Samaritan Fund at the Veterinary Care Foundation, 2360 NW 140th St., Citra, FL 32113. One hundred percent of the donation is tax-deductible.

“Party Animals” will enjoy a night of food and fun to benefit shelter dogs and cats at Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet’s Amazin’ Grazin’ Dinner and Auction Friday, Oct. 2 from 7-10 p.m. at 1772 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee.

B-C-S treasurer says

State budget ‘rainy day’ fund grows at schools’ expense By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com When Cajon Keeton walked into the Oak Harbor Village Council meeting last Monday, he had one idea in mind - to get across the message that Gov. John Kasich’s decision to put $500 million over the next two years into Ohio’s rainy day fund is a bad idea for Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools as well as other school districts in the state. With B-C-S superintendent Guy Parmigian and Jeff Dornbusch, treasurer of the Port Clinton City School District, joining him, Keeton, B-C-S treasurer, addressed Mayor Bill Eberle and council, encouraging them to take the issue seriously and contact their local representatives. In addition to B-C-S facing a potential loss of $440,000, several schools located to the east of Oak Harbor — Port Clinton, Perkins, Huron and Vermilion — face similar cuts. “Every two years, the state releases a new budget for all the state organizations. The House worked on it and said no school

district will go backward (financially), and then it went to the Senate, which said the same thing,” he said. “They provided some funds for B-C-S and had us increasing revenue in two years, (but) the Governor vetoed a line item (regarding) tangible property tax reimbursement and phasing out a reimbursement that schools like Vermilion, Port Clinton, Perkins, Huron and B-C-S receive. “We will receive a cut next school year of $440,000 and statewide that veto costs 116 school districts $90 million. The interesting thing behind that is (the state) basically puts $500 million into the rainy day fund, and that’s the frustrating thing. The House and Senate believe, because they won’t overturn the veto or haven’t yet, they are telling the districts that the money is better for the rainy day f cund. It’s a reserve fund (set aside) for a year when tax revenues aren’t what they’re expected to be; those would be reserve funds for the state to dip into.” From 80 cents to $2.5 billion According to Keeton, the rainy day

fund was at approximately 80 cents when Kasich was inaugurated. “He’s grown the fund to the highest it’s ever been,” Keeton said. “I want to say it’s about $2.5 billion with him putting an extra $500 million into it over the next two years.” School officials hope that pressure from taxpayers will motivate legislators to overturn Kasich’s veto. Regardless of what happens, Keeton does not foresee a levy on the horizon for B-C-S. “We are proud of the fact that we do not foresee ourselves going out to the community and asking for any additional revenue at this time,” he said. “We are going to weather the storm and we are going to fight to get these funds reinstated without asking the district for new money.” “What Kasich has said in a roundabout way is, if a community can pay more, it should,” Keeton said. “He would like school districts to go out to the community.” Another misperception involves basic per-pupil state aid, he said. “Everybody always assumes that

school districts get $5,800 per kid, and if you take Toledo Public Schools, they actually get the full amount. “But if you look at B-C-S, because the state says we are able to tax the local taxpayers more, we only get $2,200 per student.” Ultimately, there is still hope that the decision will be reversed. “The outcome that we would like to see as a district is an overturn of the veto,” said Keeton, who previously worked as a treasurer at Otsego Local Schools, located just outside Bowling Green. “Essentially, the House would need to initialize this move and a three-fifths vote would have to come from both the House and the Senate. Currently, 97 percent of the Senate and 71 percent of the House represent at least one school district going backwards (financially), so this should be a no-brainer. “We just want to ask them why (the money) would be better suited for the state’s rainy day fund. We’re not (in a deficit). It’s going to sit (in the rainy day fund) instead of going to use for our kids.”

Conference set

Volunteers vital during emergencies By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com When they meet next month for a conference, a coalition of area volunteers who assist first responders during disasters and emergencies will hear from a fire chief who used to be skeptical of relying on volunteers in such situations. Bruce Moritz, the fire chief of the Lake Township Fire Department, is slated to address a session of the conference scheduled by the Disaster Volunteer Coalition, an arm of the emergency management agencies in Ottawa, Huron and Erie counties. The conference, Beyond Response – Joining Forces to serve in Disasters, is scheduled for Oct. 16-17 at The Chapel, 4444 Galloway Rd., Sandusky, O. It is free and open to the public. In the wake of the June 2010 tornado that swept through Wood and Ottawa counties, volunteers “did an awesome job,” says Moritz, who was chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District at the time. The twister devastated a six-square mile area in Allen Township. Worse, it hit during the night and Moritz found himself relying on volunteers to communicate with victims, remove debris, assist with traffic control and organize response efforts during the next 10 or so days.

In all, almost 2,000 volunteers were involved. “They really took the load off the fire department so we could do our business,” Moritz recalled. “They even manned some road blocks and some administered minor first-aid to victims until the paramedics could arrive.” Appropriately, the conference session with Moritz is called “Converting the Skeptics.” More than a dozen speakers are scheduled to talk about volunteer groups and professional responders who’ve worked together locally during train derailments, floods, tornadoes and water emergencies. Some of the other speakers are: • Julie Goins, St. Vincent Life Flight • Sandy Hovest, of the North Coast Community Emergency Response Team • John Brownlee, of the County Risk Sharing Authority •Alice Webber, Lorain County EMA/ CERT To register by Oct. 9 online go to www. disastercoalition.com. Sessions will be from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day. Participants can attend either or both days.

Love of history prompts author to open old-fashioned market Local author Lou Hebert has brought history to life through his feature stories for this paper, his blog, Toledo Gazette, and his book Day By Day in Toledo. Now, he’s bringing history to life in another way when he recently opened the doors to the Black Swamp Market. The grocery/café, located on Main Street in Genoa, is somewhat a local history museum, Hebert said. Old photos, some artifacts and a “general store” motif are reminiscent of the days when the town had four mom and pop grocery stores on Main Street, Hebert says. The Black Swamp Market carries basic groceries and locally-grown produce and eggs. Sandwiches, pastries, specialty coffee and a variety of items for carry-out or eat-in lunches are also offered. Magazines, newspapers and books are for sale. There is also a free book exchange, Wi-Fi and 70 years of Genoa High School yearbooks for view. The store is located in the old Hesselbart’s Red & White Grocery at 624 Main. The interior still has the original tin ceilings, vintage lighting, wooden floors and the original skylight. “This was the store where my mother used to shop when I was a kid so it seemed like the natural place for me to open up a store and complete the circle of time,” Hebert, a Genoa native, said. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Lunches are served from 11a.m. to -3 p.m. “I am hoping that the market becomes a place for locals to enjoy a bit of history, along with a good coffee or a place to stop for a few groceries, some candy or a pop. We’ll also accommodate private gatherings in the evening after the close of business. And in the near future, we hope to have a beer license for carry-out, he said. Hebert had a 40-year career in television and radio and retired from WNWO in 2011.

The right thing GenoaBank raised nearly $9,000 through its annual scholarship golf outing held recently at the Oak Harbor Golf Course, according to a company spokesperson. This annual golf scramble provides scholarships to local students planning to major in business at a two or four-year college or university of their choice. This year the money collected, will benefit 16 schools in Northwest Ohio including the following: Cardinal Stritch,

Clay, Genoa, Lake, Northwood, Oak Harbor, Waite and Woodmore. GenoaBank’s Annual Scholarship Golf Outing has provided scholarships to approximately 140 students since the Bank began hosting this annual event in 1994. “We believe the lasting impact for these students has not only been personal development but also provides enhanced stability and growth for their family and for the community as well,” stated Martin P. Sutter, president and CEO.

The Bible tells us that our tongue is a small member of our body that can cause great damage. It compares it to a small fire that can set a forest ablaze. In the Bible, St. James tells us that if anyone can control their tongue, it proves that they have perfect control over themselves in every other way. He also tells us that sometimes our tongue praises our Heavenly Father, and sometimes it breaks out into curses against men who are made like God. Holding our tongue is not always an easy thing to do; however, we should try not to speak badly or spread rumors about others. Gossiping and spreading lies are not good and often

eek: Hold Your Tongue

can prove quite harmful and hurtful. When we know of someone who is constantly speaking badly of others, we must realize that they are probably also rumoring about us when we are not around. There is nothing that reflects a person's character more than what they say and the way they speak about others. A good person is kind and truthful, and they can be trusted not to speak of the faults of others. God wants us to live in harmony with our friends and loved ones, and holding our tongue will help us to develop a Godly relationship. My brethren, this ought not to be so. R.S.V. James 3:10

The Press Poll

What is your favorite snack food?

Did Pope Francis’ discussions about secular topics like climate change and income inequality inƀuence your opinion? Yes No

Ira Deel Oregon “Nachos! I love nachos! I make them with taco meat and monterey jack cheese.”

Richard Fiore Genoa “My wife and I stop at Burger King or McDonald’s every once in a while to get vanilla ice cream. I get it in a cone and she gets it in a bowl. It’s a great treat and it’s just the right size.”

Keep momentum going To the editor: In economic development, employers are looking for an educated workforce, a community strong in culture for their employees and at the centerpiece of that community, a strong productive school system. When all these factors are in place, businesses will come here and that will bring the families – families who will raise their children here, and those students will become productive citizens in our community. As a parent, I can say the education our children has received has been outstanding. Our oldest daughter did the work and was nurtured by the teachers of Oregon City Schools, and she gained access to over $250,000.00 worth of scholarship offers. She has gone onto to obtain her master’s degree and her sister recently was awarded the Presidential Scholarship at Lourdes University. Both are alums of OCS. Our story is not unique to the area. There are many children who have similar stories and sadly those achievements don’t grab the headlines. Instead, we hear the negatives. We hear about the mischief. The new administration is heading in the right direction; they get the connection of education and prosperity, now and in the future. I truly feel education is our future and this is the reason why I support the OCS Levy Campaign. Success in the classroom equals a better chance for our tomorrows. Vote yes please and let’s keep the momentum going. Dan Briones Oregon

Most important thing To the editor: We hope the citizens of Oregon will vote yes for the Oregon Schools levy. Education is the most important thing we can provide our students and is also important for maintaining our property values.

Jason Resendez Genoa “Chips and salsa. Any kind... It doesn’t matter. I love chips and salsa!”

Carly Walls Genoa “I would say cereal. A bowl of Rice Krispies would be my favorite.”

Lexi Perry Woodville “My favorite snack in the season of fall is homemade caramel apples. My mom and I make them every year!”

We have two wonderful great-grandchildren in Oregon Schools and they are doing great because they have parents who are involved and make sure they keep up with their work. They see how important a good education is for the long-term success of their kids. The State of Ohio spent $990 million for charter schools but have cut the funding for public schools. Other state funding changes mean that businesses do not contribute to schools like they did when our children were going to school. We need to let the State of Ohio know that school funding needs to change but until then, it is up to us to show that we care about the education of our students and that public education is important. We know that not every student goes to college, so we see how important it is for career tech programs to provide important job training in our schools. Please vote yes on the Oregon Schools levy to show that you support a good education for our kids. Doris and Glenn Levy Editor’s note: According to the Ohio Office of Budget and Management, about $900 million was allocated for charter schools in Fiscal Year 2014. Overall, state spending on primary and secondary education has increased since then.

Crediting FFA To the editor: Recently, we enjoyed a pork dinner prepared by the Woodmore FFA. The meal was absolutely delicious and thus brings kudos to the program, students and their advisor, Mr. Downs. My appreciation for the FFA goes back

many years. As a student at the former Harris-Elmore High School, I participated in vocational agriculture and FFA for four years. I never took any prizes for my farming ability but the program impacted my life greatly. In the 1942-43 school year, I was vice president of the chapter and served part of the year as president. The President Morton Hanneman left during the school year for military service. Those years impacted my life immensely. After my stint in the military and some years in industrial office work, I became involved in sales. The public speaking training in the FFA was so beneficial at that time. Many times I have given credit to the FFA for preparing me for my profession. Keep up the great work for the Vo-Ag and FFA programs at Woodmore. Blair D. Miller Elmore

Career-tech ed vital To the editor: There are all kinds of reasons why young people fail to fulfill their potential. It may be they lack opportunity, support or educational tools and training. The students in the Oregon schools deserve the support of the Oregon community. Consistently, 53 percent of the junior and senior students are enrolled in career and technical programs – what we older citizens call vocational education. In the coming years, the way we live, work and invest in our community is going to change. As property owner in Oregon, I feel we must keep an edge for our up-andcoming workforce through career and technical education. Education is central to basic survival

needs; pathways that lead to a college education, training programs and good-paying jobs in high-demand fields. All 12 career and technical programs will be eliminated at Clay High School, with no chance of reinstatement, if the 3.95-mill levy does not pass. A 3.2-mill property tax will be an automatic assessment which will go to Penta Career Center, which currently serves 16 high schools. Penta cannot possibly absorb all 300-plus Clay students that are currently enrolled in career and tech programs. Support the levy and don’t deny our children and grandchildren a good and diverse education. Jake Galloway Elmore

Knocked down? If you can look up, you can get up Unfortunately, getting knocked down is part of life. It’s your resilience and ability to keep getting back up which determines the direction of your life. As much as you might like it to be, the road of life isn’t always smooth. There are twists, turns, detours, potholes, obstacles, problems, and challenges. The key to your journey is staying on the path which heads toward your desired destination. You will stumble and fall. When you fall you must get back up. Don’t complain. Don’t whine. Don’t make excuses. Failure is not possible as long as you always get back up. You fail only when you give up. This is the process by which you learned to walk. You succeeded because you had an unstoppable determination to get back up as often as necessary. How long it took, or the number of times you fell, was irrelevant. Getting up one more time than you fell, enabled you to walk successfully. Getting back up is not always easy. You may be tired, discouraged, worn out, frustrated, disappointed, or just burned out. Regardless of how you feel, getting back up is essential. You do have inside you the ability to get back on your feet. Never focus on excuses for staying down. Instead, concentrate on reasons for getting back up. There are absolutely no advantages to giving up. Giving up guarantees failure. When you give up, nothing will be accomplished or will improve.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden Remaining knocked down is defeat, and defeat is not a viable option. Lying on the ground, wallowing in misery, keeps you down. Self-pity extinguishes any desire to get back on your feet. All of your energy must be devoted to getting back up. There might be occasions where you can’t get right back up in one step. There is nothing wrong with first having to get on your hands and knees in order to crawl forward. As you are able, you keep pulling yourself up until you ultimately get back on your feet. How long this process takes is irrelevant. Steadily moving forward makes all the difference. At times, you may need help getting back up. You don’t have to tough it out by going it alone. Needing support is not a weakness. Getting assistance to get back up always beats staying down. Many circumstances you will encounter warrant assistance in the form of emotional or psychological support. You don’t know everything. Getting help from those who have more experience or expertise is also pru-

dent. Taking responsibility for your life enhances your ability to get back up. You are in control of your thoughts and actions. Blaming other people or circumstances when you fall keeps you down. Regardless of what has transpired, only you can make the decision to take whatever steps are necessary to get back on your feet. Complaining that you have fallen is a waste of energy. Although feelings of anger or resentment are common, they are toxic emotions which cause you harm. Getting back up requires letting go of these harmful sentiments. Look for positive solutions which help you get back up. Your focus needs to be on improving your situation, not making it worse. Any thoughts of bitterness, retribution, or teaching someone a lesson, only worsens your position. You can’t dig your way out of a hole. Getting back up is easier when you have a brighter vision for the future. Getting back up means moving forward, not wallowing in the past or feeling sorry for yourself. Learn from the past and then let go of it. Don’t repeat the same mistakes. Make getting back up an automatic response. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Opinion

The Press

Minister says racism has moved into our institutions “Did you know that in 1964, two thirds of all people locked up in prisons and jails in America were white and one third were people of color?” Rev. Lawrence Keeler recently posed that question to members of the East Toledo Club when he talked about institutional racism. Just 30 years later, the numbers flipflopped—two thirds were people of color, one third white. And, not only had the percentage changed, the prison population had exploded. From 1980 to 2008, Rev. Keeler said, the number of people incarcerated quadrupled from roughly 500,000 to 2.3 million. These statistics come from the book Dear White America: A letter to a New Minority, written by Dr. Tim Wise, an antiracist author and educator. What led to this reversal? Did white Americans suddenly stop committing crimes? Rev. Keeler said statistics show that crime rates broken down by race didn’t change much. However, what did change was that law enforcement resources were expanded in black communities and incarceration rates skyrocketed. There were two reasons for this, he said. First, the Jim Crow laws that enforced segregation were over-ruled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the racists who had the power in the criminal justice system used their law enforcement resources to dominate blacks. And, second, America

Page Two by John Szozda ramped up its war on drugs. The national movement to get tough on drugs impacted the black community more so than the suburban white community. Rev. Keeler cites statistics from the NAACP that state Lawrence Keeler blacks represent 12 percent of the total population of drug users, but 38 percent of those arrested for drug offenses. Government statistics also show a disproportionate number of blacks serve time for drug offenses. One reason cited is that the drug of choice in the black community, crack cocaine, incurs a stiff felony sentence, while the drug of choice in the white community, powdered cocaine, is treated by judges with more sentencing discretion. This policy has helped to subjugate the black community and create a slew of societal ills. Men with felonies can be de-

nied public housing assistance, financial aid for college and training programs, and licensure for various careers in the trades. Fathers are removed from the community and when they return they are limited in their quest for employment by their prison record. In addition, felons have certain restrictions on voting, thus limiting the power of the black voting bloc. Rev. Keeler chose the criminal justice system as his example to show how racism has morphed into our institutions. He said racism is also prevalent in our education, housing and economic systems. “When we talk about prejudice in America, we most often consider it a personal belief of a superiority of one racial group over another. But, what if racism is bigger than that? What if it involves social action and government policies based on false assumptions?” he asked. The tragic deaths of a number of black men at the hands of white police officers and the ensuing protests are forcing some police departments to reevaluate their policies and procedures. Some state and local governments are also reevaluating drug policies. The California legislature, for instance, two years ago passed a bill to give judges the discretion to charge certain drug use as a misdemeanor. While the bill was vetoed by the governor, discussion continues. Others are mandating treatment over incarceration and, just two weeks ago, Toledo residents voted to decriminalize marijuana.

Rev. Keeler started his presentation talking about the Babylonian creation myth that indoctrinated early society with the false assumption that peace and safety can only arise out of violence and force. This myth is apparent today in popular culture and our fascination with superheroes such as Batman, Iron Man, and Rambo, etc. These heroes teach us the only way to have peace and safety is through violence and domination, he said. In the real world, we also believe in the same. He said, “Bigger prisons give us more safety. Bigger police forces create more peace. Bigger armies preserve the world. Bigger weapons protect us.” Rev. Keeler, in addition to serving as pastor at a number of East Toledo churches over the years, has mentored minority at-risk youth with the Mountain Mentors program. He has been involved in mission related trips to Haiti and served on the board of the Helping Hands of St. Louis. Prior to joining the ministry, he spent 25 years as a journalist for a number of papers in Northwest Ohio including The Blade where his last position was assistant managing editor. He ended his presentation with this, “It’s time for our society to quit demonizing people on the basis of their skin color. It’s time for us to wake up and to quit worshipping false gods.” Comment by email at zoz@presspublications.com

Big Brother targets ‘monopoly’ on marjuana legalization By Dave Lange In late July, the Darke County Sheriff’s Department reported that its annual aerial hunt had located about 200 marijuana plants with a street value of $200,000. On Aug. 6, WOWK-TV reported that about 2,500 pot plants were seized by law-enforcement officers in Scioto County. The Dayton Daily News reported Aug. 12 that more than 300 plants were confiscated from seven locations across Clark County. Fox-8 News reported Aug. 14 that the Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s Department seized 250 marijuana plants. The beat goes on. The Chillicothe Gazette reported Aug. 20 that 400 plants were seized in Pike County. WMFD reported Aug. 21 that 240 marijuana plants and 200 “so-called ditchweed plants” were found by authorities in Crawford County. WRTF reported Aug. 25 that a major-crimes task force “discovered more than 200 large pot plants growing in Belmont County.” The Associated Press reported in July that more than 326,000 marijuana plants

Guest Editorial valued at $326 million were seized across Ohio from 2008 to 2014. But the seizures have been declining lately as more growers move their operations indoors, where government agents are less likely to find them. In many, if not most, of the seizures in rural counties, no arrests were made because of the difficulty in identifying the growers. Although growing 200 grams or more of marijuana is a felony in Ohio, cultivation or possession of 100 grams or less is a minor misdemeanor. Marijuana was legal in the United States until 1937, when big-government fanatics concocted ridiculous tales about violence and loose sexual behavior.

Our state spends more than $100 million per year for enforcement of “Ohio’s destructive marijuana laws,” according to former Cincinnati police Capt. Howard Rahtz. He says so in a television commercial that urges voters to support a marijuana-legalization issue on this November’s Ohio ballot. According to a Quinnipiac University poll done this past spring, 52 percent of Ohio voters support the legal possession of marijuana for personal use by adults, and 84 percent support medical marijuana. With reality setting in that most people now favor marijuana legalization, alarmists are raising the red herring of monopolization, citing the ballot issue’s call for 10 growing sites across the state. In 2009, Ohio voters approved a ballot issue that allows only four casinos in the state. The government didn’t whine about monopolies then. Two years later the governor expedited a deal to allow slot machines at the state’s seven racetracks. Unregulated “skill games” casinos continue to fly under the radar of local law enforcement. Three gigantic tobacco corporations

control an industry that produces the deadliest but perfectly legal drug in America. Nobody seems to be worried about that being monopolistic. Oxycontin, the highly addictive pain killer also known as “Hillbilly Heroin,” is produced by one powerful drug maker. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration supports this monopoly. With or without passage of marijuana legalization, Issue 3, in November, hundreds of growers will continue to supply thousands of pot smokers in Ohio. Big Brother will burn millions of tax dollars to eradicate illicit pot plants wherever his hovering helicopters can find them. Scaremongering regulators will huddle in their ivory towers, slurp down martinis and merlots and plot new horrors to inflict their dictates over the personal freedoms of responsible adults.

Help for first-time students Owens Community College recently welcomed two AmeriCorps College Completion Coaches to help first-time college students succeed in their academic and career aspirations. The initiative is part of a collaborative effort between the Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC), the Ohio College Access Network (OCAN) and ServeOhio (Ohio Commission on Service and Volunteerism). Coaches include Lindsey Minnig, of Van Wert, and Hilary Tore, of Toledo. Minnig is a recent graduate of Owens Community College, and is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in communications at Bowling Green State University (BGSU). Tore is fin-

GPA ishing up her bachelor’s degree in individualized studies, also at BGSU. “One of my biggest passions in life is to help students because when I first came to Owens I struggled,” said Minnig. “Luckily, I had a mentor and without them I wouldn’t be where I am today, so in a way I am trying to pay it forward.” The coaches will help students in completing their developmental courses and then assist them to enroll in collegelevel credit courses. Additionally, they will serve as a support system for the students and assist them in progressing through their completion plan. “Our purpose is to increase student retention by providing students with a variety of resources both on and off campus,” said Tore. “The benefit of working with a completion coach is having one place to go for help with any personal or academic issues.” In 2012, the Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC) and the Ohio College Access Network (OCAN) entered into a strategic partnership to develop and implement the AmeriCorps College Completion Coaches initiative. Students interested in speaking with an AmeriCorps College Completion Coach can email Minnig at Lindsey_minnig@owens.edu or Tore at Hilary_tore@owens.edu.

The backpack/school supply drive is organized by the Owens Alumni Association in collaboration with Books-AMillion Inc., area Directions Credit Union branches, two Great Lakes Credit Union

This month, 565 backpacks and 9,900 school supply items collected throughout the summer months are being donated to 21 area elementary schools, including schools in the Northwood, Genoa, Woodmore, Rossford and Toledo Public Schools districts, among others.

I...love seeing them and having them help me.

“

For the past two years, Destiny Martinez, a fourth-grader at St. Kateri Catholic Academy, has chosen to forgo the tradition of receiving gifts for her birthday, instead requesting that friends and relatives make donations to local charities. This year, the soon-to-be 10-year-old is looking to celebrate her birthday by collecting hats and gloves, which will be distributed through the church to those who need them this winter. “Someone in my family gave me the idea to collect hats and gloves and that was my favorite (suggestion),” said Martinez. “Plus I always wanted to collect stuff for the church and this seemed like a good idea.” Two years ago – as a 7-year-old – Martinez collected nearly 250 pairs of shoes to give to Sole4Souls. Last year classmates and members of the community helped Martinez collect more than 800 pairs of jeans for Blue Jeans Go Green – a nonprofit that turns jeans into insulation for Habitat for Humanity. A majority of the hats and gloves collected this year will be going to Epiphany of the Lord, the parish Martinez and her family regularly attend on Sundays, and where she was baptized and received her first communion. Her collections have also opened many opportunities for Martinez. Last year, after learning that she would like to become veterinarian, the Humane Society invited her to come and see how

animals are taken care of in the facility. She also received a recognition award from the Toledo City Council at the conclusion of last year’s jean drive. Most importantly for Martinez, the annual effort brings her family together. With several family members living outside of the Toledo area, she sometimes goes months without seeing some of her cousins, aunts and uncles. But when she has her collection drive, they always come home to support her and celebrate her birthday. “My family lives in all these other places and they come home to help me and that makes me feel really good,” she said. “I have a big family and love seeing them and having them help me.” To donate, bring hats and gloves to the main office of St. Kateri Catholic Schools, 3225 Pickle Rd., Oregon, on school days between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. The drive runs through Friday, Oct. 16.

Thanksgiving meals offered in Oak Harbor For the third year in a row, the Benton-Carroll-Salem District Food Pantry will be providing Thanksgiving meals for individuals and families in need. Boxes consist of a frozen turkey or ham and all the trimmings. Financial contributions are welcome to help purchase the Thanksgiving packages. One hundred percent of the donations will be used to help area families. Last year, more than 100 families ordered a meal. Mail checks to B-C-S Food Pantry, 165 Toussaint St., Oak Harbor, OH or drop checks off at the pantry MondaysFridays from 9 a.m.-noon. Mark on the check that it is for Thanksgiving Meals.

Recognized In recognition of its excellent child care program and ongoing commitment to children, the YMCA Child Development Center, located on the Owens Community College campus, will receive a Five-Star Step Up to Quality Award from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services – Bureau of Child Care and Development. The rating is a system for early care and education programs. Participating programs can earn ratings from one star up to five stars by meeting an extensive list of quality benchmarks.

Wildcats follow one tough league tilt with another By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com One week after facing a Northern Buckeye Conference perennial power in Genoa, Woodmore will go at it again with another perennial power, Eastwood. The only difference this year was that the Wildcats started the season 2-2, while the Comets and Eagles started 1-3. However, the Comets and Eagles played some of the region’s best competition in non-league openers. At this time last year, Eastwood was 3-1 and on its way to a 9-1 record and a spot in the playoffs. Woodmore, meanwhile, was in the midst of an 0-10 season. Now, the Wildcats are coming off a 3314 victory over Otsego. The Eagles, in their fourth game, notched their first win of the season, a 63-8 triumph over Fostoria. Needless to say, this game will probably be closer than the 42-0 victory Eastwood claimed last season. In Woodmore’s last game, quarterback Connor Bringman was at it again, accounting for five touchdowns – three in the air, one on the ground and one by reception – and 288 yards of total offense. Even though Woodmore has barely over 30 players, grades freshman through senior, on its varsity roster, Bringman is finding ways to be an effective signal caller and passer — effective enough to be putting up big numbers for the second year in a row, despite odds against him. In the win over Otsego, D.J. Wellons caught six passes for 96 yards and a touchdown and threw a 34-yard touchdown to Bringman while Conner Haas chipped in with three catches for 94 yards and two scores. The reason for the Wildcats’ turnaround starts with the effort they’ve put forth in practice. “We have won two games because we are playing better football right now than what we were a year ago. I have a coaching staff that believes in what I’m doing and they are doing a fantastic job at getting the players to do what needs to be done,” said Woodmore coach Brian Spicer. “We have stressed over and over to our players — ‘Do your job’— and then we hold them accountable. Jeremy Rowe and Jim McMahon are my coaches – they are the ones that keep after our guys and demand a higher level of performance from them. Those two guys are a big reason why we are playing better right now,” Spicer continued. “Another reason is that the players are starting to believe in what we are doing and getting more confident in their abilities. It’s simple, you win more games when you play better and have confidence. How you get there is the challenge. But for us, it is about teaching fundamentals and demanding nothing less than the best from each player and working every day to get better.” As for the Eagles, they dominated the Redmen, scoring nine touchdowns in as many possessions while running for 246 yards. Running back Cade Boos had 83 yards on the ground and scored three touchdowns while Cooper Comes added two scores on the ground. And quarterback Andrew Caris contributed, completing 5-of-8 passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns. Eastwood just got done with a non-con-

ference schedule that featured a Murderer’s Row of opponents – Start (3-1), Clyde (4-0) and Oak Harbor (2-2). The Spartans, which feature 23 seniors and are projected to win the Toledo City League, defeated Eastwood in a hard-fought game 19-7. The Fliers, a perennial power in Division III, broke a scoreless tie at halftime before pulling away to claim victory; and the Rockets rallied for their 13-7 win. Jerry Rutherford, now in his 34th season as coach of the Eagles, believes his club’s non-conference games prepares them for the Northern Buckeye Conference. “We knew we were replacing a lot of guys (and) we knew we’d play some sophomores, who are a really talented class. We knew those would be tough games for us, but you learn a lot about where you are when you play teams like that,” Rutherford said. “We were ahead 7-6 against Start at halftime, we were ahead of Oak Harbor at halftime, and we were tied with Clyde at halftime. We hung with them, we just weren’t finishing it. “The guys just need varsity experience. Unfortunately, you’re not in a sport where you have a lot of time. If we can get through our first three games healthy, which we did, it would prepare us. There were times when we could have seven sophomores out on the field. We knew it was going to take some time. We go to Fostoria and things started clicking – in nine possessions, we scored nine touchdowns. Our guys stepped up, it definitely helped everything.” Rutherford says there are challeng-

They don’t have many guys, but they play hard. They’re 2-2 and I think they believe in what they’re doing, and that has a lot to do with it. They have some success and you start believe and you can start winning,” Rutherford said. For the Eagles, the best defense could be a good offense that keeps Bringman & Co. off the field. “Our goal is always to not give up the big play — force them to drive the ball,” Rutherford said. “In our games, our offense has to do something to keep them off the field. We want to limit their possessions by driving the football. If we can keep their offense off the field, it would be to our advantage.”

Clay doubles team, Allie Reichert reach league finals By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Talent, experience and leadership are a great combination in sports. The Clay tennis team has all three. The Eagles feature four seniors — Hannah Kuhlman, Allie Reichert, Sara Ulinski and Jessica Takacs — a junior (Alayna Rodriguez) and two freshmen (Mady Arquette and Tori Gallaher) who finished off a regular season with a 12-4 team record and place third in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference tournament. The TRAC tournament saw the Eagles set three school records as they got two players or doubles teams to the finals and won the No. 2 doubles’ title. The duo of Ulinski and Takacs defeated the team from Central Catholic, 6-4, 6-4, to win a league title while Reichert finished second at No. 3 singles. Rodriguez and Gallaher, the other doubles team, finished third. Arquette, who plays first-singles, was fourth and Kuhlman took fifth. It’s been a banner year for Ulinski, Takacs and Arquette. Takacs accumulated a 21-3 record while Ulinski went 20-3, and Arquette, in her first year, finished 22-5. As a club, the Eagles defeated Anthony Wayne, Ottawa Hills, Springfield and Findlay, among others. Losses, have come against some of Northwest Ohio’s best — Perrysburg, Central Catholic, St. Ursula and Notre Dame. What stands out the most to the coach, Walt Ralph, is not his player’s skills or their athletic ability as much as their desire and competitive drive that embodies this group. He’s convinced many of his players can reach the district tournament. “I think that the thing that impresses me most about my seniors is how well they model themselves — the values that we talk about daily is fighting, having great resilience and a willingness to keep working regardless of the results,” said Ralph. “We’ve had a couple of matches where our singles player might come out and struggle in the first set, maybe even lose 6-0, but they continue to work at it and

We’re proud that we’re developing a reputation for being a group of fighters. They’re an athletic bunch that has worked their tails off and worked to be a respected team in the area.” Ralph hopes this year’s season motivates other girls in the school to come out for the team in the future. “If they haven’t had a lot of experience

in tennis, this can be an invitation to them if they’re willing to work hard,” he said. “We’re starting to get lucky and have some athletic girls come our way.” Ralph also credits his younger players, too, like junior Lilly Meier for her play this season. Rodriguez’s partner for the first part of the season, Meier is currently playing on the junior varsity team with Breann Zahel. “Lilly was Alayna’s partner during

the first half of the year,” Ralph said. “She worked hard and improved a ton, but Tori is a really gifted athlete who just started playing tennis — it took her a while to get acclimated to the nuances of tennis. “Tori has taken over in recent weeks. Lilly is someone that we’re counting on to provide depth in the program. One of the advantages to making the switch is Breann and Lilly are playing together and getting some experience as a doubles team and will help us next year on varsity.” Perhaps the unsung hero of the group is Kuhlman, a three-year starter who serves as the captain. Kuhlman and Reichert, who play No. 2 and 3 singles, respectively, have provided leadership. “Hannah moved up from third singles for us and I think she has a real clear sense of what it takes to play against good competition,” Ralph said. “I would say that about Allie, too. “They don’t try to do too much — they realize the value of being consistent and steady and they don’t beat themselves. They have an unbelievable willingness to fight and will give every ounce in a match. “Allie, in particular, when she was younger, she struggled with the emotional part of the sport. We were worried about how she would handle the pressure this year. She’s passed the test with flying colors.” Kuhlman relishes her role as captain this season. “We didn’t have many returning seniors this year and we had a lot of younger players,” she said. “So I tried to bring the girls together as a team and help teach them what I’ve learned in my four years playing tennis at Clay. “I am very proud of what we accomplished. We have come together and won a lot of tough matches. Also, we never quit until the last point and that is how we were taught to play. We finished third in the TRAC Tournament and I think we’ll go far in sectionals.” Despite the fact that they’ll be losing four seniors, the future looks bright because the junior varsity accumulated a 12-3 record this year.

Leading by example — that’s the Flyer gridiron motto By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Through four games this season, Lake’s defense was allowing 11.5 points a game, but that number is deceiving. All 46 points the Flyers have allowed this season came in last Friday’s 49-46 victory over Rossford. Lake opened the season with a 47-0 rout of Montpelier, followed by a 49-0 win over Northwood and a 45-0 blanking of Archbold. It should be noted that none of those teams — Montpelier (1-3), Northwood (04), Archbold (2-2) and Rossford (2-2) have winning records heading into this week. However, Lake has already posted three shutouts in a season for the first time since 1978. The ‘78 team beat Woodmore 6-0, Genoa 6-0 and Springfield 21-0. Asked to comment on his defense, Lake head coach Mark Emans deferred to defensive coordinator Dave Rymers, who is in his ninth season on the Flyers’ staff. Rymers also coaches the team’s defensive backs. “The entire defense enjoys the game of football,” Rymers said. “Practicing, film study, scouting reports — as a group they truly enjoy all aspects of football. They enjoy the competition, physicality and the camaraderie that comes along with it.” The Flyers, Rymers noted, have been known more for their offensive prowess in recent years. While it is true Lake is putting up big offensive numbers this season, its defense already has nine interceptions and four fumble recoveries. Lake is ranked sixth in Division V in this week’s Associated Press poll. “We were very physical against Montpelier, and that’s stressed every year,” Rymers said. “The last couple years, some of our identity was offensive driven. We wanted to show people we weren’t onefaceted and we could play tough and hardnosed on the defensive side. We pride ourselves on being physical, running to the football and creating turnovers.” Senior outside linebacker Nick DeLauter leads the Flyers in tackles (39)

(Press photo by Don Thompson/Facebook.com/DNRsport) and interceptions (3), with one fumble recovery and three tackles for loss. DeLauter also started at tight end last season, but now starts at wingback on offense. “Nick leads by example,” Rymers said. “He’s a kid who plays every play like it’s his last. He will form tackle you as hard as he can and help you back up, and he can’t wait to do it again.” Senior defensive end Drayton Williams has 23 tackles, including six for loss. “He’s a fun kid to coach,” Rymers said. “He’s a big, athletic defensive end for us. He was a linebacker his sophomore year and we moved him to defensive end last

year, and he’s done a real nice job again for us this year.” Senior two-way tackle Aaron Szegdi also has 23 tackles, four for loss, and one fumble recovery. “Aaron has put in a tremendous amount of work in the weight room in the offseason,” Rymers said. “He led us with 11 tackles against Rossford. He’s a very strong kid who understands how to play defensive tackle.” Luke Walsh, a freshman middle linebacker, has 19 tackles including three for loss. “Luke is not an overly big kid (5-11,

170), but he’s stepped up and the team has taken to him well,” Rymers said. “He plays hard; he’s still learning and making some freshman mistakes. He owns up to them and gets better every day.” Senior outside linebacker Branden Short, the team’s leading rusher, has 18 tackles and makes the defensive calls on the field. “Everything is signaled through Branden,” Rymers said. “He is our vocal leader on defense, and our team takes its cue from him.” Three players in the secondary are starting both ways, as are two linebackers and three defensive linemen. Junior free safety Marty Pennington has 16 tackles and two interceptions, and senior cornerback Adam Duncan also has two picks, including one he returned for a touchdown against Rossford. The Flyers, who run a base 4-3 defense, gave up 105 total yards (12 passing) against Montpelier and 125 yards (all rushing) against Northwood. “We have guys going both ways and we can play physical, and we’re learning that what you are doing affects the 10 other guys on the field,” Rymers said. “We preach if you do your job and the defense does its job as a whole, good things will happen. We want to put our team in the best position to win a game.” Rossford has been the only team able to exploit Lake’s defense. The Bulldogs gained 591 yards, including 412 passing. “They were primarily deep throws,” Rymers said. “As a secondary coach it was a little unnerving, to put it mildly. They did a good job finding a weakness in our defense. We lost five senior defensive backs from a year ago.” The Flyers’ other defensive coaches are Greg Wilker (tackles), Alex Emans (ends), Josh Andrews (linebackers) and Jason Schober (backs). “Alex is new to the staff this year, but the rest of us have been with coach (Mark) Emans since he came to Lake,” Rymers said. “The staff as a whole is a tight group. We enjoy coaching football as much as these kids enjoy playing it.”

‘Cat girls galvanized after last year’s shootout loss By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Woodmore’s girls’ soccer team was on a roll heading into its Division III district final game against Archbold last season. The Wildcats had won six in a row, five by shutout, and had outscored their opponents by a 79-14 margin before it all came crashing down in a 5-3 shootout loss to the Blue Streaks. Woodmore finished 14-2-4 and took second behind Lake in the Northern Buckeye Conference. Third-year Wildcats coach Jason Allen said the loss to Archbold galvanized the team and the program, and was the impetus for their blistering start to the 2015 season. “They were upset more than sad,” Allen said. “We had 22 shots on goal and Archbold had five in the whole game. We just couldn’t hit the back of the net. We’ve added some really key players, not just freshmen but girls who came back. I knew our talent was getting better.” Woodmore took a 6-1-1 record into Thursday’s NBC game at Otsego, yet the ‘Cats are still unranked in the state coaches’ poll. They have beaten Huron (6-0), Otsego (5-0), Rossford (8-0), Lake (4-1), Genoa (3-0) and Eastwood (2-1), which is ranked 10th in the coaches’ poll. The Wildcats, who have outscored opponents 30-6, tied Oak Harbor 1-1 and lost to Swanton 3-1 despite out-shooting the Bulldogs 26-7. Allen, who is 38-5-5 as Woodmore’s coach, said the key component to this team’s success is camaraderie. Eight starters return from last year’s squad. “They are a unit,” Allen said. “If you had to have an all-around team, this is what you get. I expected it. Halfway through the season, last year’s team came together more than the year before (when Woodmore went 18-2 and won the NBC title). I saw people getting along I didn’t think could get along. “When you have a room full of 19 girls and all 19 are crying their eyes out after (losing) in a shootout in a district final, that makes a difference to me. It shows how much they care for one another.” One big addition to the team is senior center midfielder Maddy Hines, who played

Woodmore's Jessie Wegert (5) chases after the soccer ball as teammate Maddy Hines (10) trails. (Press photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/RussLytle/RHP) for a club team last fall instead of with the Wildcats. She has three goals and one assist this season. “She’s been a huge contributor for us,” Allen said. “She controls the tempo of the game in the midfield, and she’s a leader on and off the field. She played for us her soph-

omore year, and she was at that district final last year and was a ball girl. She was in the room when she saw all the girls crying. She saw the ‘family’ and she missed it.” Sophomore central defender Carly Rothert spearheads Woodmore’s stingy defense, along with sophomore Maddie

Morris. “Carly controls the defense and is a general back there,” Allen said. “Just a great kid. She spent a lot of time in the weight room in the offseason and bulked up a bit and got stronger and tougher than ever. She’s saved us a lot in the back. Maddie Morris is pretty tough and pretty fast. The defense keeps us in games and will have to carry us through the postseason.” Junior outside midfielder Camryn Bench leads the team with six goals and two assists. She scored a team-high 19 goals with four assists last year. “Camryn is a great all-around player,” Allen said. “She contributes well on the outside and is very fast.” Lily Rothert, a junior midfielder, has five goals and four assists after contributing 15 goals and 13 assists as a sophomore. “Lily controls the midfield and sets up a lot of goals and distributes the ball well,” Allen said. “She’s just a solid player in the middle. Very consistent.” Sophomore outside midfielder Hayley Freund, who was second on the team with 16 goals last fall, has two goals and one assist this season. Sophomore outside midfielder/forward Breanna Coffman has three goals. “Hayley contributes well on the outside crossing the ball,” Allen said. “She’s at the right place at the right time, scoring a few goals here or there. Breanna is a great player. She put in a lot of work in the offseason playing for a club team, and her skills have shown it.” Three other key contributors are junior outside defender Liz Koenig (2 goals, 1 assist), senior outside defender Jesse Wegert (2 goals) and sophomore keeper Alex Moreno (13 saves). “Liz can play left or right, and she works hard in the offseason,” Allen said. “Jesse does well distributing the ball from the back and making runs from the defensive position.” Allen, who is the women’s lacrosse coach at the Indiana Institute of Technology in Fort Wayne, said the Wildcats’ No. 1 goal is to win the NBC championship. And then …“We want to get past the district finals and into regionals,” he said. “I think they can do it.”

Eastwood girls chasing ’Cats, outscore opponents, 28-4 By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There is still a lot of season left, but fifth-year Eastwood girls soccer coach Megan Rutherford has the Eagles on pace to win their first league championship since 2006, when they won the Midland Suburban Soccer League title. Eastwood has a good mix of young and older players and is off to a 6-1-1 start, just suffering their first loss, 2-1, at the hands of Northern Buckeye Conference rival Woodmore. “I like the fact that this team does not like to lose,” said Rutherford, a 2007 Eastwood grad. “They hate to lose. We haven’t had much experience with it. We lost one game in a preseason tournament and we haven’t lost since.” The Eagles return six starters from last year’s team, which finished 12-4-4 and lost to Lake, 4-0, in the D-II district finals. This year’s squad has outscored opponents 284, with wins over Sandusky Perkins (40), Liberty-Benton (2-1), Rossford (12-0), Genoa (1-0), Napoleon (3-0) and Otsego. Eastwood’s only other “blemish” is a 1-1 tie with Lake and they are now 3-1-1 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. Going into the game with Woodmore, Eastwood was ranked No. 1 in Division III for Northwest Ohio, Woodmore was fifth in D-III and Lake was eighth in D-II, but that’s likely to change in the next poll with the Wildcat win. Eastwood takes on the Wildcats again in Elmore on Oct. 15 and the Eagles host the Flyers on Oct. 1, both games slated for 5 p.m. Defense has been the cornerstone of the Eagles’ style of play. The 2014 squad posted 10 shutouts, and this year’s team has five already. “We have three returning starters on defense (seniors Sarah Bettinger and Megan Welker and junior Kara Ameling) and all of them are experienced and work well together,” Rutherford said. “And, Chandler Davidson is a good goalie.” Davidson, a sophomore, has 30 saves this season after splitting time with Morgan Donaldson a year ago. “Goalies have to have a certain personality, and (Davidson) definitely has a

Eastwood center midfielder Dani Bruning (16) plays keep-away from a defender in action this season. (Press photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/RussLytle/RHP) personality,” Rutherford said. “She’s quick, witty and reads the game well. She communicates well, especially for a sophomore. She worked really hard in the weight room and has gotten a lot stronger.” Bettinger, Welker and Ameling rarely come out of a game, Rutherford said, adding that the trio is currently playing at a high level. “I see them getting better every day,” Rutherford said. “The formation we play, we tend to send our outside backs in a lot more and attack a lot. Megan is a phenomenal center-back and does really well keep-

ing everybody together and organized. The more time they spend together, the better they get.” Senior forward Maddie Cherry leads the Eagles in scoring, with 12 goals and two assists. Cherry, who had three goals against Otsego, was the second leading scorer last year (14 goals, 5 assists) despite breaking her foot late in the season. “She’s been willing to do just about anything for us,” Rutherford said. “Her freshman year I had her as an outside back, moved her to midfield her sophomore year because she’s so fast and athletic, and we

turned her into a forward last year when we switched to our new formation. That’s a big role to fill, when you’re the only one up there. She’s done really well with it.” Rutherford likes the improvement she’s seen from sophomore midfielder Jordan Davidson, who has five goals and two assists. “She has developed so fast,” Rutherford said. “We have her at outside midfielder now and she’s an 800 runner in track, so you can imagine what kind of athlete she is. She doesn’t get tired and she works well with Maddie. She’s gotten miles better from the previous year.” Three other key players are senior midfielder Desi Nidiffer, junior midfielder Dani Bruning and sophomore defender Nicole Swartz. Nidiffer has three goals and three assists and has played a big role in Cherry’s scoring, according to Rutherford. “Desi’s foot skills are phenomenal, and she starts every attack,” Rutherford said. “Without her, Maddie probably wouldn’t have as many goals. All of our attacks go through Desi.” Swartz, who plays center-back, never comes out of a game and plays next to Bettinger and Walker. An injury to a senior teammate late last season allowed Swartz to get game experience. “She ended up starting the last two tournament games,” Rutherford said. “Since then she’s taken off and taken that role that the senior had last year. She also runs track and is very athletic and works very well with the girls.” Bruning is an attacking center midfielder who plays next to Cherry. “She’s a physical player,” Rutherford said. “She doesn’t have the goals she probably wants right now, but she just wreaks havoc in the midfield and annoys opponents.” Sophomore midfielder Morgan Rost has three goals and one assist, sophomore defender/midfielder Reese Delgado and senior forward Haven Flores both have one goal and one assist apiece, and junior defender Hannah Owens has one goal. “I’ve got a great coaching staff, and I do expect this team to win a lot because we do have a lot of talent and experienced players,” Rutherford said. “Our captains have been great.”

Lake golfers finish second in league race By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Lake finished second in the Northern Buckeye Conference boys golf standings, scoring 41 points to Rossford’s 48. Lake coach Dorian Boggs would have liked to see his team do one better. “We are pleased, but not satisfied, with the second place finish,” Boggs said. “Coming into the season we had our sights set on winning the league but fell short. Finishing second had more to do with Rossford than us. (Rossford) Coach (Del) Clayton always had his team ready to play and they were more consistent than us all year.” Woodmore (35) finished third in the league standings, followed by Genoa (29), Eastwood (27), Elmwood (17), Fostoria (13) and Otsego (5). Lake golfers Owen Johnson (40.1 average) and Jacob Middaugh (43.4) are first team selections. “Both Owen and Jacob have put together solid seasons thus far,” Boggs said. “Owen was one point away from winning the player of the year in the NBC and Jacob earned first team all NBC honors. “Golf is a game that most players are never satisfied with. No matter how well you play you always think about how your round could’ve been a little better. Players tend to dwell on the one short putt that they missed or the one bad iron shot that they hit,” Boggs continued. “Owen and Jacob are both hard on themselves and think that they could have, or should have, played better. However, they’ve both done a great job for us and I’m really proud of them.” The two Lake golfers are joined on the All-NBC first team by Woodmore golfer Austin Berkel (41.8) and Eastwood’s Nick Coffman (42.7). Rossford’s Jackson Murphree is the Player of the Year with a 39.7 average and was medalist at the league tournament, shooting a 77 at Green Hills Golf Course in Clyde. Local NBC second team selections are Lake’s Jarrod Hornyak (42.8), Eastwood’s Tyler Fry (44) and Woodmore’s Mitchell Miller (43.9). Honorable mention choices are Woodmore’s Zach Schmeltz (45.4) and Jay Connor (45.5), Genoa’s Sam Sutter (44.4) and Austin Marley (45.1), and Eastwood’s Brian Selhorst (43.9). Placements are based on points scored in matches, not on golf averages. Elmwood won the girls NBC championship, led by Golfer of the Year Alexis Miller (44.6). Eastwood golfer Jenne Venier (47.3) and Lake golfer Autumn Schmidt (53) are first team. Eastwood was second and Lake fifth. Local second team selections include Genoa golfer Reagan Guthrie (54.5) and Eastwood’s Leigh Snyder (52.9). Eastwood’s Jessica Rice (55.3) is the only local HM choice.

Gyori Player of the Week

"Brooke is our defensive leader," said Owens coach Sonny Lewis. "Her play continues to give our offense more chances to win rallies." In conference play last week, Gyori had 25 digs against Lakeland Community College. Aside from her digs, she added 10 assists and eight aces overall last week. Owens (15-5 overall, 6-0 OCCAC) has received a team-high 331 digs from Gyori this year, which averages out to 4.87 digs per set. She also leads her team in aces with 45 and is third in assists with 32. ( — by Nicholas Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information)

Brooke Gyori (Clay), a freshman defensive specialist for the Owens Community College women's volleyball team, has been named the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference player of the week. Gyori totaled 120 digs over five matches last week. En route to 24 digs per match, the freshman set a new season-high with 35 against No. 8 Des Moines Area Community College on Sept. 18. She had at least 17 digs in all five matches and at least 20 in four of the five. Owens played a tough schedule as they also faced No. 3 Johnson County and No. 11 Kirkwood.

Ohio State — ‘Same old story, same old song and dance’ In My Opinion

by Harold Hamilton

“

Most of these players want to go on to the NFL where they could be replaced in a heartbeat for mediocre play.

“

If the late Major League baseball hall of famer Yogi Berra had been at Ohio Stadium during the Northern Illinois game, he might have said “This is like déjà vu all over again.” Ohio State looked nothing like the national championship team that wowed and shocked everyone last fall after losing to an unranked Virginia Tech early in the year. Saturday, the Buckeyes played a tough MidAmerican Conference team in Northern Illinois. Ohio State won 20-13, but only because NIU could not take advantage of the many opportunities they were given. Ohio State almost always has a weak non-conference schedule starting each season. That’s probably a good thing as they often play poorly early in the year. Last year they even lost to the unranked Virginia Tech. This year, they won their first two games even with poor execution, and along came Northern Illinois, a tough MAC team year-in and year-out (champions in three out of five years). NIU played well but OSU tried hard to give them the game. OSU, the college football team with what many believe are the three best quarterbacks in the nation, and best offensive line, must have had the flu because there is no other excuse. They were very lackluster, especially at quarterback. The quarterbacks threw three interceptions and numerous bad passes. They only had 16 completions out of 29 attempts. The quarterbacks were not the only problem, however. The offensive line had

problems opening holes as the team only had 162 yards rushing. Last year, Ezekiel Elliott ran for over 200 in his last three games against the best teams in the country, but could only muster 108 against Northern Illinois. OSU’s third down conversions were also pathetic, converting only 2 of 13 tries. Fortunately, the OSU defense played good enough to keep Ohio State in the game. Enough for the statistics, however. You don’t need numbers to see that something was missing.

A fellow photographer at the game said, “The team looks as though they were taken out of the oven before they were done”. A good analysis, I’d say. They didn’t seem to have the fire that is typical of Meyer teams and at times even seemed to be confused. So what do I think is wrong? First, they need some team building. I do not believe every team element was playing the way they did at the end of last year. At the end of last season, with a third string quarterback playing his first games for the Big Ten and national championship, they had to build a brotherhood and cover for each other. No individual was bigger than the team. Some of that is missing this year. It’s tough to keep young men (who are really kids) motivated for long periods of time especially after they finish a season like they had last year. Egos may be getting too big. Second, consider the quarterback controversy that the media loves to hype and probably, with Meyer’s help, its puts considerable stress on Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett. Meyer has commented about this since the game and I agree with him. He said, essentially, he has no desire to lessen the pressure. Every athlete knows that as soon as he fails to perform at a high level a talented backup will replace him. Most of these players want to go on to the NFL where they could be replaced in a heartbeat for mediocre play. So get used to it. I suggest that those calling for Meyer to name one quarterback and just leave him

The deadline for our Transitions Page is Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.

in the game regardless of the results would sing a different tune if Ezekiel Elliott, Joey Bosa or Darron Lee slacked off. You would be demanding they be replaced. Third, I wonder if the new offensive coordinator, Ed Warinner, has too many duties, needs to be up in the booth or just doesn’t have the talent that Tom Herman, the old coordinator who is now the head coach at Houston, had. There are several things I have learned in being a Buckeye fan. First, they frequently play poorly early in the year. In fact, quite often they don’t really get it together until November. Second, they often get scored on first and many times are behind at the half but manage to pull it out in the end. Finally, a big lesson from last year, no matter how “discombobulated” (Meyer’s word) they look, Urban Meyer and his coaches know how to build a team. They don’t get too worried and they’ll be ready for the November game up north. Oh and one more thing — once they let Braxton Miller start throwing we might all get a big surprise. Last year the Buckeye’s loss to Virginia Tech served as a wake-up call and jolted Meyer’s team into to an unbelievable run to the national championship. Let’s hope that the recent series of lackluster play revives this team before it is too late.
