Trustees choosing nuisance policy By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Policies used by Allen and Clay townships in Ottawa County may become the template for how Lake Township responds to complaints about nuisance properties. After reviewing their policies, the police and fire chiefs of Lake Township have advised township trustees they could also utilize them. Lake Township Police Chief/ Administrator Mark Hummer told the trustees Tuesday he will first forward a copy of the policies to the Wood County prosecutor’s office for review. “It looks like very good work,” he said, calling the policies “a pretty effective way to deal with severely dilapidated properties. We’re not talking about the guy who doesn’t cut his grass.” Last month, Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko sent a letter to the trustees asking them to consider declaring two properties on Drouillard Road as nuisances. The properties, located at 30854 and

Oregon City Council on Monday will consider amending a sewer agreement with the Northwestern Water and Sewer District (NWSD) for billing and a schedule for the district’s sewer improvements. Oregon entered into a sewer agreement with the NWSD on April 14, 2014 that required the district to construct a 2 million gallon sanitary sewer overflow storage facility or tank and install new flow meters within 18 months of executing the sewer agreement, which is October 2015, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. The tank would hold excess sewage and storm water during heavy rain before it can be released and treated by Oregon’s sanitary sewer treatment plant. Oregon has an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency to make improvements to its system. As a result, Oregon will only treat up to 5 million gallons of storm water per day. Excess sewer and storm water overflow ends up untreated and flows into the lake. The NWSD reviewed the flow over 18 months and determined it exceeded 5 million gallons per day 60 times. The overflow storage facility, a 30 foot tall basin to be located on a 2 acre parcel between Curtice Road and Wise Street, will be 1,350 feet east of the nearest house in the Greenway Estates subdivision. The tank will catch and hold the excess flow of sanitary sewage and storm water temporarily before it is released for treatment in Oregon. Plans called for the facility to be completed in October, but the district has asked for a 1 year extension. In exchange for the extension, the city will start billing the district for sewer overflows. “Considering the project has not been bid yet, they are not going to meet that [October] deadline,” said Roman. “They definitely need more time – about a year’s

30848 Drouillard Road, sit just outside the village limits but the mayor said village residents have approached him about the properties. The mayor’s letter included photos that show the houses with boarded up windows and doors, and over grown weeds. Under the Allen Township policy, a property owner is notified by letter the property has been inspected by the chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District. The chief

files a report of the property condition with the township trustees and a copy is provided to the owner. If the property is determined to be unsafe and structurally defective, the letter informs the owner of the township’s intent to raze the building. The owner is entitled to a hearing but must file a request for a hearing within 30 days of the day the notice was mailed. Gas provider chosen In other business, the trustees approved a proposal submitted by Volunteer Energy Services, Inc, Pickerington, O. to provide natural gas service for residential and small-business customers. The agreement will be in effect for 17 months and is expected to save consumers on average between $9 and $23. The township is a member of the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition, which negotiates with gas providers. Residents and businesses who rely on natural gas will have the option of choosing another supplier, Richard Welling, a trustee, said.

Commissioners: Yes to issues 1, 2, no to marijuana By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Two of three state issues on the Nov. ballot have drawn the support of the Wood County Board of Commissioners. The board has passed resolutions supporting Issue 1 and Issue 2 but the commissioners are unanimous in their opposition to Issue 3, which would provide for a group of investors the means to grow and sell marijuana in the state. The resolution contends Issue 3 “permits investors to set their own preferential tax rates directly in the Ohio Constitution, rates that cannot be changed by the legislature like those on beer, wine and tobacco.” In addition, it would give the investors “exclusive rights to commercial profits in Ohio” and insulates them from competition. The commissioners’ support for Issue 2 mirrors their opposition to Issue 3. Their resolution for Issue 2 says it “ensures that Ohio’s Constitution is not for sale and prohibits special interests from amending the constitution to create monopolies, oligopolies or cartels” and “ensures that our constitution cannot be abused and corrupted by those interested in obtaining exclusive deals and special commercial benefits.” The commissioners also unanimously support Issue 1, calling it a needed bi-partisan process for drawing state legislative districts. The proposed amendment would: • Set a goal of having district boundaries that are more compact and politically competitive. • Establish the bipartisan Ohio Redistricting Commission, composed of seven members including the governor, state auditor, secretary of state, and four members appointed by the majority and minority leaders of the state legislature. • Require public meetings, public display of maps, and a public letter explaining any plan the commission adopts by a simple majority vote. • Require a bipartisan majority vote of four members in order to adopt any final district plan, and prevent deadlock by limiting the length of time any plan adopted without bipartisan support is effective. If passed, the amendment will become effective immediately.

New building gives a nod to the past in Northwood By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

“

This has been a long process, so seeing it come to life is very rewarding...

“

For the administrators in the Northwood Local Schools, 2017 can not come fast enough. After holding the official groundbreaking for the new 130,000 square foot, PK-12 building, the real construction is set to begin. According to Superintendent Greg Clark, the pad for the school will be poured this month. The vertical building process will begin in the spring. “This has been a long process, so seeing it come to life is very rewarding,” Clark said. “We are standing on the backs of those who came before us – those who helped make this district what it is today. We are very pleased to have a 21st century learning space for the students that will open in the fall of 2017.” Planning for the new school began in 2003 with Ron Matter, former superintendent, Clark said. The Ohio School Facilities project is expected to cost $33 million. In May, voters approved a 4.9 mill, 37 year property tax to

pay for two-thirds of the price. A grant from the Ohio Schools Commission will pay for the remaining $11.5 million. The new building will occupy the area between the current the high school and Olney Elementary. The class of 2018 will be the first group of students to graduate from the new school. With the construction of the new school, three buildings will be torn down – Olney, Lark and the old middle school. The current high school will be re-purposed, Clark said. “I think the renderings are exciting,” Clark said. “The new building will do a nice job of paying homage to the past, where our

school has been. The plan is to have two gymnasiums. One will be named ‘Olney Gym’ and the other will be ‘Lark Gym’ in order to keep a part of who we are.” The new school will be equipped to handle current and future technology upgrades. “It will have the infrastructure to manage all of us being online at the same time,” he said. “We are able to handle technology now because we have made an investment in technology. We are also able to be online at the same time, but the older buildings do not have enough plugs in the rooms. The spaces are designed to allow for collaboration and student-lead learning. The opportunities for the kids and the staff to really be in the digital age will be awesome.” The school will also have the latest in security cameras and single access points, designed with security in mind. “This community stepped up and invested in young people,” Clark said. “This is not just about serving our kids now. It is about serving our kids 50 years from now. They too will benefit from this investment. This community has a proud history. When they know there is a need they step up and take care of it.”

Fremont Community Theatre production a ‘family affair’ By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com The Book family is very close – and it’s no act. The Woodville family, which consists of Matt and Stephanie and children, Ryan and Makenna, are currently starring in the Fremont Community Theatre’s production of “The Addams Family.” Matt, the patriarch of the family, plays the bass in the orchestra; Stephanie is Alice Beineke, mother of the “normal” family; Ryan plays her son, Lucas, Wednesday Addams’ boyfriend, and Makenna will be covered in a big ball of fur with sunglasses to play everyone’s favorite, Cousin It. “I think it’s nice that we can do something together as a family. Families are going in different directions sometimes, so it’s nice that we can have something where we’re all together,” said Stephanie, a native of the state of Oregon. “We’re a family away from our family with our theater friends. Instead of dropping my kid off and watching him from afar, I’m involved with it, and I get to have that fun with him.” Matt, a Bowling Green native, is a selftaught musician who can play a variety of instruments, including the piano, guitar and bass, which he plays at the family’s local church. Stephanie, meanwhile, was involved in theater in high school and actually performed in her first play as a-sixth grader, playing a munchkin at the school play. “I was involved in theater in high school – that got me the (acting) bug,” she said. “I didn’t really do anything in college, but I did some community theater things here and there (afterwards).” Stephanie, who met Matt at Summit University (formerly Baptist Bible College) in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, passed along the acting bug to Ryan, 16, a junior at Woodmore High School. Ryan has been acting for eight years, having gotten his start at the Pemberville Opera House. He’s starred in two Woodmore plays so far – “Once Upon a Mattress” and “Guys and Dolls” — and has appeared in roughly 20 shows in his life thus far. He’s also considering pursuing acting in college. Makenna, 13, also starred in some shows in Pemberville and Fremont, having played young Fiona in “Shrek the

Ryan Book (Lucas Beineke), Cody Noon (Gomez Addams) and Abigail McLaughlin (Wednesday Addams) rehearse for “The Addams Family,” which will be presented Oct. 9-11 and 16-18. (Submitted photo) Musical” and young Louise in “Gypsy.” “She’s excited to play Cousin It,” Stephanie said. “She really enjoys it, but I don’t know if that’s where her direction will go, but she’s got time to figure it out. I’m sure she’ll continue acting in the community stage.” The Books aren’t the only family that acts together at the Fremont Community Theatre. “Theater seems to be a nice family affair,” Stephanie said. “There are a lot of families in Fremont that over time, their kids grow up there and continue to be in plays and stay with it. The director of the play, his wife is a music director and his kids have acted, too. It’s all pretty fun.” Ryan Mahffey, who has been involved with Fremont Community Theatre for some time and works as the assistant director of theater at Rossford High School, talked

about the show. “For me personally, I saw the show in New York and I’ve also seen it at other theaters. If you enjoy the TV show and the movies and the comic strip, you’ll definitely enjoy this because it’s a much more modern take with a much more adult spin,” said Mahaffey, who plays Lurch. “It’s a situation where, ‘What would happen to these characters when they turn 18 and leave the family?’ It’s taking them out of TV and putting that edgy adult humor to it. From the first time I saw, I laughed from the minute the curtain opened until the end. “It’s a fairly new musical, it came out on Broadway in 2009; it has not been produced a lot. We are the second community theater group in Northwest Ohio group that has done this play. We are doing something very non-traditional, and that’s what audiences are seeking – something edgier, some-

thing more adult, which is a cool thing for Fremont. “It’s theater for people who don’t enjoy theater (because of the) edginess,” he said. “It’s non-stop laughter. We’re coming together as a cast, and the biggest problem we have is trying to stay quiet because we’re laughing when other people are cracking jokes, and I haven’t had that in a long time, and I think that made the cast bond.” “The Addams Family” will be presented on Oct. 9-11 and 16-18. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15; student/senior tickets are $12. Group discounts are available. To purchase tickets, visit fremontcommunitytheatre.org or call the box office at 419-332-0695. This show has a suggested rating of PG-13 for mature situations, adult themes and innuendo.

Storm overflow Continued from front page time, which is what they are asking for. Based on the original contract, we were not going to bill on overflow over 5 million gallons per day until a new facility was constructed, which would have been this month. So in exchange for amending the agreement to allow a 1 year extension on the construction of the facility, we requested that we start charging for the wet weather overflow surcharge rate, which would start Oct. 1. Both of these requests have been put in the agreement, reflecting the extension for the construction, the district’s improvement work, as well as allowing the city to bill for the wet weather surcharge.” Oct. 1 is the last quarter of the billing cycle. Until flow meters are installed, wet weather overflow sewage volume will be calculated using flow meter data from an existing meter, located just upstream of the Lallendorf Road Trunk Sewer, currently in operation and maintained by the district. The calculated sewage volume will be submitted to Roman for review and approval, and will be included with the certified quarterly billing account information. The existing flow meter will remain in operation until the new flow meters are installed. The flow meters, flow control equipment and flow equalization basin will be installed no later than Dec. 31, 2016. The district will furnish keys to the meter installations to Oregon and the meter will be available at all times for inspection, calibration and reading by authorized officials and employees of Oregon. The city may perform or provide for repairs or maintenance work on the meter if the public service director considers it necessary, and the cost of the work will be paid for by the district. Councilman Tim Zale asked if groundwork for the storage facility has begun. Roman said the facility was met with some opposition, which delayed plans. Some Northwood residents living near the site expressed concerns last year at a Northwood council meeting and Northwood Planning Commission meeting about an above ground tank they feared would emit an odor and cause a drop in their property values. The residents, as well as Northwood Mayor Mark Stoner and some members of council preferred an underground storage tank. But that alternative was abandoned after district officials said an underground facility would be much more costly than an above ground storage facility. “That discussion with Northwood definitely caused a delay,” said Roman. Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson told The Press that the Northwood Planning Commission recently approved the final site plan for the storage facility. “I think city council will approve the planning commission’s recommendation,” said Anderson. Costs of the facility will be born by customers in the district, said Anderson. The site plan drops the originally proposed height of the facility by five feet, and includes the planting of trees in an earthen berm surrounding the facility, said Anderson. “It’s going to be kind of hidden,” said Anderson. “I don’t think anyone will even notice that it will be there. We’re trying to get the best deal we can out of a situation none of us really like.” Roman said it will take at least a year to complete construction of the storage facility.

Traffic Safety Grant Lucas County has been awarded an $85,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Ohio Traffic Safety Office for the 2016 federal fiscal year which began Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30, 2016. The goal of the grant is to reduce motor vehicle crashes, deaths, injuries, and costs associated with crashes. The Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West, under the direction of Superintendent Sandra Frisch, will once again be the administering agency for this grant. “Focus areas for the grant year will center on teen driver safety, increasing seat belt use, reducing impaired and distracted driving and promoting motorcycle safety,” said Gwen Neundorfer, coordinator for the Lucas County Traffic Safety Program. In Lucas County in fiscal year 2015, (Oct. 1, 2014 – Sept. 30, 2015) 43 people lost their lives in 40 fatal crashes compared to 36 fatalities in 34 fatal crashes in Fiscal Year 2014. According to surveys done in June 2015, seat belt use in Lucas County is 69.9 percent.

Senator Brown: bring back infrastructure By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown is seeking to bring federal money to Northwest Ohio communities to improve water quality. At the Collins Park Wastewater Treatment Plant in East Toledo Monday, Brown announced that he will re-introduce legislation to Congress that would help bring back sewer and water infrastructure to where it was decades ago. The bill would authorize $1.8 billion over five years for a grant program to help financially distressed communities update their aging infrastructure. The program would provide a 75-25 cost share for municipalities to use for planning, design and construction of treatment works to control combined and sanitary sewer overflows. “We need to do more to address water quality at its source, by preventing the toxic runoff that causes the algal blooms,” Brown said. “But we also need to help the communities across Ohio that are struggling to afford expensive — but vital — renovations to outdated sewer systems. “Too often, systems go without updates and repairs and result in water contamination, like we have seen in Lake Erie,” Brown continued. “That’s why I will re-introduce the Clean Water Affordability Act, which would lead to cleaner water and promote economic development. It’s in everyone’s interest to ensure a clean Lake Erie.”

Brown says the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, which represents the sewer districts, has endorsed the legislation. The legislation would also: • Tailor the implementation schedule for water quality related improvements to the affected community’s unique financial condition. • Structure environmental improvements to mitigate the potential adverse impact of their cost on distressed populations. • Allow for reopening of approved long term control plans to encourage cost-saving green infrastructure projects. • Establish integrated permitting that would require the EPA to prioritize the funding of most cost-effective and most important water quality projects. Browns says current federal guidelines require municipalities to renovate outdated combined sewage overflow systems to protect human health and the environment, but upgrades often prove costly for many communities. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, communities across the nation face an estimated $63 billion shortfall for combined sewage overflow renovations. These projects represent more than 25 percent of all wastewater needs reported in the most recent EPA needs survey, a statement issued by Brown claimed. The statement adds that the Clean Water Affordability Act is aimed at up-

dating the EPA’s clean water affordability policy, which Browns says can put undue strain on the budgets of local communities. Brown adds that the current affordability policy does not provide for a full and accurate representation of the financial impacts of clean water investment programs on communities struggling to meet federal regulations for improving their water infrastructure. Brown was joined by Toledo Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson and Chuck Campbell, acting commissioner of plant operations, to discuss how Brown’s legislation could help communities reduce future water and sewer rate increases and attract new businesses, create jobs, and protect the environment. “The EPA estimates that 850 billion gallons of untreated water — wastewater and storm water from CSOs are released into lakes and streams every year,” Brown said. “We know what that means here — as the mayor said, cities like Toledo, small towns like Defiance, and cities all over Northwest Ohio and all over the country struggle to afford the expense of vital renovations of outdated sewer projects. “These projects, in Ohio alone, are believed to be a shortfall of some $7 billion in what we need to do to treat combined sewage overflow. Our communities shouldn’t have to handle this alone, obviously can’t handle this alone, and that’s why I’m reintroducing the Clean Water Affordability Act,” the senator continued.

Oregon eyes $7.3 million bid for upgrade By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday will consider accepting the bid of Hank’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc., for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Secondary Treatment improvements – Phase 2 for $7.3 million. Hank’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc. will provide labor, materials and equipment for the project. “Hank’s Plumbing & Heating was determined to be the lowest and best bid,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman. Kirk Bros. Co., Inc., submitted a higher bid of $7.5 million. Global Heavy Corporation submitted a bid of $6.2 million, lower than Hank’s Plumbing & Heating, but it did not meet with the city’s best bid criteria, said Roman. “The company had no experience in public works or wastewater treatment work,” Roman said of Global Heavy Corporation. “In addition to that, they did not provide any of the required documents. Due to the lack of providing the proper documentation…Hank’s Plumbing & Heating was the best bid.” The city is required, as per its Ohio EPA National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, to increase the secondary treatment capacity of the wastewater treatment plant from 24 Million Gallons Per Day (MGD) to 36 MGD to eliminate secondary treatment bypasses and sanitary sewer collection system over-

flows (SSOs) during wet weather events, according to Roman. In accordance to the compliance schedule of the permit, Phase 2, the final phase of the project, must be constructed by December 31, 2017. Phase 2 consists of a new clarifier with associated secondary sludge pumping facilities, aeration tank improvements consisting primarily of new stop plates and slide gates, disinfection improvements consisting of replacement of the chlorine feed and safety equipment, effluent pump replacement and improvements, site restoration and associated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) upgrades. The project will be financed through the Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund at a 0.19 percent interest rate supplemented with interest free grant and loan funding through the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC). Ohio EPA’s special financing initiatives are aimed at addressing harmful algal blooms (HABs). “I’m pleased to learn that Hank’s Plumbing & Heating’s bid was responsive and met the city’s best bid criteria,” said Councilman Joshua Hughes. “I’m very pleased to learn and know that this multimillion dollar project will be performed by local men and women. It’s good for us going forward that those dollars stay in our community. As for the necessity of the project, I think it’s hard to go anywhere in northwest Ohio or the state of Ohio and not hear about algal blooms. The fact that it led to a lower

interest rate loan is a good thing. We’ll do what we can to prevent overflows.” He added that the city learned in June following a severe wet weather event “how important having that increased capacity is for the city. The fact we’re going from 24 MGD to 36 is needed and very important to the city.” The Ohio EPA last April announced it was also providing two interest free loans to the City of Toledo to finance upgrades to the water treatment plant at Collins Park on the East Side. The upgrades in Toledo are designed to improve the ability to remove HABs, which last August prompted a three day tap water ban to Toledo water customers after high levels of microcystin were found in samples taken from the Collins Park water treatment plant. Last summer, the Ohio EPA announced that it would make available $150 million in no-interest loans for improvements to local drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities. Of that total, $50 million in zero-interest loans is offered to drinking water plants for upgrades and alternative or back-up water sources to address HABs. Preference is given to water systems in the Lake Erie watershed and those that have experienced an algal bloom or a detection of toxins. Qualifying projects include components that treat for toxins produced by harmful algal blooms, as well as projects that implement avoidance strategies such as interconnections with other water supplies, new elevated storage facilities and installation of alternative sources of water.

When was the last time you had a good laugh?

Are you in favor of more gun control to prevent mass shootings at schools? No. Criminals will always ſnd ways to obtain guns whether or not there is gun control. Yes. Making it more difſcult to obtain guns will save lives. Cortney Vallade Maumee “Playing peek-a-boo with my son, Lyle. He was jumping in circles in his Johnny Jump Up. I was crawling the opposite way as he was jumping and he was laughing so hard that he started to scream. I was laughing so hard I was crying.”

Cory Wade Louisville “I was at lunch with coworkers and they were making fun of another coworker.”

Attack on middle class To the editor: Sticker shock for farmers? What is coming is another 250 percent increase on top of the 250 percent increase in the last property revaluation? Current Agricultural Use Valuation (CAUV) was established by state constitutional amendment based on the old-fashioned (and common sense) idea that taxes be paid by those able to pay them. Dishonest or inaccurate calculations for CAUV may cause taxes on farmland to exceed net farm income and is another attack on the middle class. In the 19th century, the Homestead Act, veterans’ grants and the availability of reasonable-priced farmland made ordinary people landowners. In the 20th century, unions got labor a piece of the pie. Now most people are working harder for less. The U.S. middle class is an aberration among nations – most countries are owned and controlled by the super-rich. Will greed destroy this country? I see dishonesty in CAUV in these areas: Costs: Seed, fuel, machinery and other costs have more than doubled in the last few years and these are not addressed. Many significant costs are not considered at all. Drainage: This is Black Swamp country – without good drainage, we raise nothing. Ditches and creeks constantly need work. Tile drainage needs repair and replacement. Farm shops and machine-shed taxes, depreciation and maintenance – not one penny of cost allowed. Labor: Only field labor considered. Farmers and families spend two to three hours on jobs other than field labor for maintenance, record-keeping, etc. for every hour of field labor. Costs are calculated by surveys of

farmers. Know any farmers getting these surveys? Yields: Why are yields so far above county averages? It is true that in good years, the yield trend is up, but what about years like this? I could go on about my efforts to get an honest hearing, but I would like farmers to go to their own records and see how bad this really is. Pete Rohloff Graytown

Change for the worse To the editor: While many are sharing their feelings on whether the current Oregon school levy should pass, I would like to share our story. Hopefully reading about a family that had to endure this same situation before will enlighten those who have doubt about this levy. We lived in the Bowsher school area when Toledo Public School Districts levy did not pass. What we experienced was a negative domino effect, not only on our schools but on our neighborhood and surrounding area. The lack of funding left our three boys and one school-age daughter without busing or extra-curricular activities. Our once-safe and family-oriented neighborhood quickly declined as families started moving out and leaving their once-beautiful homes to foreclosure. With the abundance of empty homes, crime, and vandalism, as parents we feared for the safety of our young children. We decided it was time to leave our home and look elsewhere to raise our growing family of eight. Oregon seemed like a

logical place and we quickly moved. Our older three boys have and are participating in the Clay wrestling program. We have a daughter that plays sports at Fassett. We live in a neighborhood where we value our neighbors and feel safe – something that we had lost after the TPS levy failed. For those families or individuals without children in the school system, please remember this levy will affect you as well. Property values will start to decrease while crime increases. A failed levy will change this city for the worse. Everything that makes Oregon will be lost due to a small increase in taxes that will end up being collected anyway. This levy is not only to save our schools but to save the community we all work so hard for. Please vote yes on November 3. Brian Henneman and Julia HennemanDallape Oregon

A good investment To the editor: I have lived in Oregon for more than 35 years. One of the factors of moving here was the excellent reputation of the school system. My children and grandchildren have received a wonderful education here. They all went to college and were well prepared. They participated in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities, which greatly enhanced their education and growing experiences. Technical education opportunities are essential for a well-rounded school system. I taught in a career education school and know how important that training is to students who are not college-bound.

Facing a setback? Turn it into a comeback Not everything you do will work out as planned. Setbacks are inevitable. How you deal with your setbacks determines your level of success. Winners become very good at turning setbacks into comebacks. Others use setbacks as an excuse for giving up. “Well, at least I gave it a try,” is a commonly used refrain when abandoning a goal. Success requires persistence in order to push through setbacks. Setbacks are educational. They are an exceptional opportunity to grow stronger. Setbacks have a tendency to focus your thoughts on that which is lacking. Setbacks become destructive as soon as they turn your attitude negative. When your self talk includes statements such as “this won’t work,” “I can’t do this,” “I’m such a failure,” or “things never work for me,” you are inhibiting your success. Blaming other people or circumstances is just as damaging. By considering yourself a victim you abdicate responsibility for your destiny. You are ultimately in control of your life. The direction and quality of your journey is in your hands. There are four questions you need to answer in the face of a setback. 1. What happened? 2. Why did it happen? 3. What can you learn? 4. What can you do to keep it from happening again? The answers are fundamental to converting a setback into a comeback. An accurate, unbiased understanding of exactly what happened is essential before you can move forward. If you don’t

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden know what happened, you can’t answer any of the other three questions. Not knowing what happened keeps you in the dark. You must figure out why it happened. This knowledge is crucial for intelligently taking corrective action. Especially important is identifying what you did or didn’t do which contributed to the setback. There are one or more invaluable lessons to be learned from each setback. Experience is a great teacher. Unless you clearly comprehend your newly acquired knowledge, you are destined to repeat the same mistakes over and over. What changes in your strategy are necessary to prevent the same setback from happening again? This answer focuses on taking action today. You can’t undo the past, but you can improve your future. Making the decision to move forward prevents you from getting bogged down lamenting the past. Changing your perspective provides additional insight. Analyzing a problem from different angles generates new solutions. What additional opportunities can you identify?

Study others who have dealt with similar setbacks. What success strategies did they use going forward? After a setback, take stock of all of the positive assets you possess. Your assets are more important than your liabilities. Make a list of everything you have to be thankful for. Comebacks depend on an attitude of abundance, not a fear of scarcity. Strength is one of your attributes which exists in greater abundance than you realize. Keep focused on the big picture. Don’t get hung up on insignificant issues which don’t matter. Doing so drains your energy and forces you off course. Your actions make the difference. It doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do. After a setback, make a decision to do what it takes to come back. Defeat only occurs when you give up. Take positive action, one step after another in order to move forward. Keep your eye on the prize. Your objective is the prize. Success requires overcoming setbacks. The greater your success, the more challenging will be the setbacks you encounter. It’s not magic, it is determination. Never, ever give up. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden. com or your bookstore.

65% No 35% Yes

According to several articles that have been in the newspapers lately, most of the jobs currently available require technical training. Oregon has provided those opportunities to more than 300 students each year. We need to keep our students in Oregon and not send them to another school and pay that district an automatic tax assessment of 3.2 mills. For 3.95 mills, we can keep our students home and let them be educated and have experiences in our own district. People moving to the area need reasons to choose a community in which to live. A good school system with a variety of classroom opportunities and a variety of extra-curricular activities is an important factor in that decision. We currently have that and need to keep it. A yes vote for the school levy is an investment in our young people, our community and our home values. Nancy Storer Oregon

Voting and taxes To the editor: This has been bothering me for a very long time and I’m sure it will have many folks disagreeing with me. You don’t have to agree. The subject is about equal rights in voting. I feel greatly about our system of raising taxes due to the popular passing of levies that raise my property tax. My feelings are simple. If you don’t own property, then you should not be allowed to vote on a levy to raise my taxes as a property owner. It is absolutely wrong. Agree? Taxes should be used for what they are. My hard-earned dollars don’t come easy and I don’t approve of others “speaking” for where they should go. Larry Erard Oregon

Breast cancer facts & fiction By Chrys Peterson Courtesy of promedicahealthconnect.org Most of you know that raising breast cancer awareness has been a mission for me for more than two decades, and since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who participated with us in the NW Ohio Komen Race for the Cure events in Findlay and Toledo. Thousands came out to support the cause in downtown Toledo, and, for the fifth year in a row, the ProMedica team took home the traveling trophy for biggest overall team with more than 600 members! But the real winners are uninsured or underinsured women in our community who will receive mammograms, treatment and other services because of your participation and generosity! Thank you. I also couldn’t resist the opportunity to talk about some facts and dispel some fiction related to breast cancer: 1. All women are at risk for breast Chrys Peterson cancer. TRUE. The two most common risk factors for breast cancer are being female and getting older. The risk of getting breast cancer increases as you age. Most breast cancers and breast cancer deaths occur in women aged 50 and older. Fewer than 5% of breast cancers happen in women under the age of 40, but breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women ages 20 to 59. 2. Only women with a family history get breast cancer. FALSE. About 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history. But if a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) is diagnosed with breast cancer, your risk of developing the disease approximately doubles. Having two firstdegree relatives with breast cancer increases your risk even more. 3. Most breast lumps are cancerous. FALSE. In fact, nearly 80% of breast lumps are NOT cancerous. So don’t panic if you find a lump, but do have a doctor check it out to make sure it’s not cancerous. 4. Men can get breast cancer. TRUE. Men have breast tissue too, and each year in the U.S. more than 2,000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. 5. Breast cancer always appears in the form of a lump. FALSE. Redness, scaliness and dimpling can indicate breast cancer, as can breast or nipple pain or nipple discharge not related to breast milk. 6. Breast cancer is preventable. Sadly, FALSE. But it is possible to identify risk factors (such as family history and inherited gene mutations) and make lifestyle changes that can lower your risk. Reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption, losing weight, getting regular exercise and screenings, and quitting smoking can help reduce your risk of breast cancer. If you remember nothing else, remember this: You are your own best weapon to fight breast cancer. You know your own body better than anyone else, so doing your monthly breast self-exams and paying attention to any changes that you can see or feel is your first line of defense against breast cancer. Be knowledgeable and be healthy! Chrys Peterson is a ProMedica HealthConnect correspondent and spokeswoman for ProMedica Cancer Institute’s Friends for Life online community.

Mercy, Toledo Clinic break ground Ground has officially been broken on Mercy Health - Perrysburg Cancer Center, a $14.5 million, 62,000-square-foot facility that will open in the fall of 2016 at the intersection of Dixie Highway (SR 25) and Eckel Junction Road in Perrysburg. Mercy, part of Mercy Health, and The Toledo Clinic (TTC) have partnered to create the comprehensive cancer center, which will provide coordinated cancer services. The center will offer access to an expansive team of medical oncologists who collectively will provide a comprehensive treatment plan designed for the unique needs of each patient. All located in one easily accessible location, services will include diagnostics, surgical consultation, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and access to clinical trials. “With our partners, the physicians at The Toledo Clinic, Mercy stands here today ready to break ground on a new building designed to enhance access to superior, well-coordinated, multidisciplinary cancer care,” said Imran Andrabi, MD, Mercy’s president and chief operating officer at the Oct. 6 groundbreaking. “The Mercy Health Perrysburg Cancer Center will bring medical oncologists together with radiation oncologists, surgeons, and surgical oncologists. That means your entire care team will be in one place talking to you and collaborating with each other.” The center will be built adjacent to the Mercy Medical Center – Perrysburg. The design includes an atrium entry and additional glass features to provide an inviting and open atmosphere for patients and their families. “The Toledo Clinic and Mercy are partnering to provide cutting-edge treatments for patients of Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan, allowing them to receive better quality and better efficiencies without leaving their community,” said Rex Mowat, MD, Toledo Clinic’s managing partner and medical director for Mercy Health – Perrysburg Cancer Center. “Our partnership will result in enhanced specialized care to patients while focusing on coordinating services to help them though the process.” Mercy’s Perrysburg Cancer Center will offer four key benefits for patients: • Enhanced access to coordinated care. By working in partnership, TTC and Mercy can combine best practices and quality standards to provide a single, coordinated care pathway for all patients, improving efficiencies, accessibility and convenience

for cancer care patients. • Enhanced integration with other physician specialists. The partnership will enhance alignment between medical oncologists with other radiation oncologists, surgeons, surgical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and other specialists. Having all cancer specialists under one umbrella allows for better coordination of care for patients. • Increased access to clinical trials.

A more robust clinical research program will allow cancer patients and physicians access to more clinical trials, which often provide advanced and therapeutic treatment options and improve recognition of high quality care standards. • Increased supportive care services. The center will be committed to providing additional supportive care for cancer patients, including patient navigators, generics counseling and testing, survivorship program, nutritional counselors, social workers and clinical research personnel. These programs are incredibly important to overall health and management of cancer patients throughout their course of treatment, survivorship stage and end of life care. “The Toledo Clinic and Mercy have come together with the promise of making cancer care more accessible for our patients. Together, we have served this region for a very long time,” Dr. Andrabi said. “By aligning and integrating further with key physician partners, we are building a system where there is better access to care and deep expertise in centers of excellence, including cancer care.”

Cancer screenings men should consider Cancer screenings play an important role in cancer prevention. Screenings may not prevent people from getting cancer, but they can detect the presence of cancer before a person begins to experience any signs or symptoms. Screenings also can help doctors catch cancer before it metastasizes, or spreads, to areas of the body outside the area where it originated. Many women get routine mammograms to detect for breast cancer, but women are not the only ones who should include cancer screenings in their healthcare routines. Men also can benefit from screenings, discussing the pros and cons of each with their physicians during routine health examinations. • Colon cancer: Men should begin getting screened for colon cancer at age 50, though those with family histories of colon cancer or other colon issues should begin even earlier, as family history increases a man’s risk of developing colon cancer. Colon cancer screenings may discover a type of growth known as a polyp, which is typically benign and can be removed before it develops into cancer. The American Cancer Society notes that men have various options to choose from with regard to screening for colon cancer. Such options include a colonoscopy, a stool DNA test and a camera pill. Speak to your physician about these options and discuss your family history, which will influence how frequently you need to be

Cancer screenings can detect cancer in its earliest stages, and as men get older, they should discuss their screening options with their physicians. screened for colon cancer. • Lung cancer: Screening for lung

cancer is most important for men who currently or recently smoked. The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for men between the ages of 55 and 80 who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Screening should be discontinued once a man has not smoked for 15 years or has developed a health problem that substantially limits a man’s life expectancy or his ability or willingness to undergo curative lung surgery. (Note: Packyear history is calculated by multiplying the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day by the number of years the person has smoked.) The ACS notes that the risks associated with lung cancer screenings typically outweigh the benefits for men who have never smoked or quit long ago. • Prostate cancer: The National Cancer Institute notes that prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer among men in the United States. Being 50 years of age, black and/or having a brother, son or father who had prostate cancer increase a man’s risk of developing the disease. The NCI notes that screening tests for prostate cancer, which include a digital rectal exam and a prostate-specific antigen test, come with risks, and men should discuss these risks and the potential benefits of prostate cancer screenings before deciding to be screened. - Metro Creative Connection

Baskets of Care - Support in fight against breast cancer

“

Comfort Care Bags are filled with supplies that make a difference in the everyday lives of people with breast cancer.

“

When Gail Cooper fought her battle against breast cancer, she was disappointed in the lack of information and emotional support provided to patients. She recognized a need for hands-on assistance in our community, so she did something about it. Cooper founded Baskets of Care in September 2009 to fill the need. Baskets of Care, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, provides women and men newly diagnosed with breast cancer with essential educational and informational materials, peer support, Nights of Empowerment events and Comfort Care Bags. Cooper learned about a similar breast cancer support program in Morgantown, Penn., through her niece, a fellow breast cancer survivor. Cooper met with breast health care providers (ProMedica, Mercy, Toledo Clinic, UTMC) as well as with staff from Susan G. Komen, The Victory Center and the American Cancer Society to introduce the concept. By October 2010, she had created an organization, recruited a dedicated board of directors and developed a mission statement, bylaws and a business plan. By the end of that month, Baskets of Care was approved as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Baskets of Care is an entirely volunteer-run organization with no overhead costs. One hundred percent of the funds raised are invested directly into supportive programs for people newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Volunteers (some who sew and knit items for the bags and others who pack and distribute them) have in just over four years gifted Comfort Care Bags to over 1,600 newly diagnosed patients in the region. Because of relationships and referral systems with local doctors (some of whom have placed the bags on their treatment protocols), 91% of clients received a Comfort Care Bag within 30 days of their breast cancer diagnosis. Comfort Care Bags are filled with supplies that make a difference in the everyday lives of people with breast cancer. From a soft, hand-knit healing shawl, to educational materials, to an adjustable belt with

pouches for post-surgery drainage tubes, each item is selected by survivors to make

What do dense breasts mean for the risk of cancer? Breast cancer risk is influenced by many things, including heredity, age and gender. Breast density is another factor that may affect cancer risk and the ability to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages, say some experts. According to the report, “Mammographic density and the risk and detection of breast cancer,” published by The New England Journal of Medicine, as well as data from the National Cancer Institute, women with high breast density are four to five times more likely to get breast cancer. Only age and BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations increase risk more. However, at this time, health care providers do not routinely use a woman’s breast density to assess her breast cancer risk, according to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Density does not refer to the size or shape of the breast, and it may not be apparent by just looking at the breasts. Usually women do not learn they have dense breasts until their first mammograms. Dense breasts have more glandular and fibrous tissue. Density may be hereditary, meaning mothers and daughters can share similar breast characteristics. Dense breasts cannot easily be seen through on a mammogram, which can make detecting lumps and other abnormal-

ities more difficult. This can lead to missed cancers or cancers that are discovered at later stages. Women with dense breasts may require additional screening methods, such as a breast ultrasound or an MRI, in addition to yearly mammogram screenings. Education about breast density is gaining traction in some areas, thanks to informed women and advocacy groups like AreYouDense.org. Some states in the United States are part of “inform” lists, in which radiologists include information about breast density on mammogram reports so women and doctors can make decisions about extra testing. Even if a woman does not live in a state where density is shared, she can request the information from the radiologist or doctor. Dense breasts show up with more pockets of white on mammograms than gray fatty tissue in less dense breasts. Cancer also appears white, and, therefore, tumors can be hidden. In addition to more in-depth screenings, women with dense breasts can lower cancer risk by following these guidelines: • Maintain a healthy weight. • Eat nutritious food. • Exercise regularly. • Never smoke or quit immediately. • Limit alcohol consumption. -Metro Creative Connections

Supportive care and symptom relief for seriously ill patients not on a hospice program is available through Hospice of Northwest Ohio’s Sincera service. Since 2008, Sincera has served more than 1,000 patients, with 94 percent of them reporting significant improvement in comfort and quality of life. Sincera works with community physicians to provide an extra, highly skilled set of eyes and ears in the home when it is difficult for their patients to visit them in their offices. “Our first goal is to find relief for pain or other symptoms a patient may be having due to their illness or side effects of treatment,” explains Karen Caputo, certified nurse practitioner for Sincera. “Then we focus on overall management of the chronic illness or, in many cases, help address the challenges of living with several different health conditions at once. “Because we have much more time than is allotted in a typical physician office visit we can answer questions, provide more in-depth information about disease progression, make recommendations about medications that may need adjusted, discuss goals of care and work with the patient’s physician and others to acquire additional assistance that may be beneficial,” she said.

Utilizing their specialized expertise in pain and symptom management, they help improve quality of life when the patient has: • Side effects from treatment that are debilitating and difficult to manage • Repeated trips to the ER or is hospitalized due to uncontrolled pain or other symptoms • Several illnesses that, combined, make care needs more complex • A worsening condition and is confused or worried about the progress of the disease and treatment options • Difficulty maintaining comfort at home after being released from the hospital or a rehab facility • Emotional or spiritual concerns that are affecting overall wellbeing • Caregivers who are struggling to understand and manage the illness • Physical challenges that make it difficult to visit the physician’s office • Symptoms that require additional management while receiving skilled care in a nursing home • The need to discuss goals of care and what is important moving forward

Seeking Sincera services Though a physician referral is required before Sincera can visit, many questions about the program can be answered with a phone call to the Sincera office. A nurse navigator will have a thorough conversation with each caller and can work with physicians to get a referral for Sincera’s services. Like any medical consultation,

Sincera’s services are covered by Medicare Part B, Medicaid and most other health insurance plans. To learn more, call 419-931-3440 weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or visit sinceracare.org. For additional resources on serious illness, visit toughquestionsstraightanswers. org.

Mobile spa unit provides speedy therapy for horses By Mary Ann Wasserman Special to The Press news@presspublications.com Who doesn’t love some time at the spa, especially when dealing with aches and pains or injuries? David Williams, of Curtice, has designed a spa on wheels designed to provide comforting and therapeutic hot or cold therapy to for horses. “We can switch from cold temperature of 37 degrees to hot water in a matter of three seconds,” Williams said. Cold water therapy is designed to address soft tissue inflammations; abscesses might require warm or hot water treatments. Pulled tendons and sprains are always a concern with a competitor. Rotating treatment is also an option; depending upon a regimen suggested by a veterinarian, a horse can be treated with hot water, then go on a treadmill and then finish up a treatment with cold water. Williams has some three decades of experience in equine environments. “My background is primarily teaching horses in reining,” he said. “I do not have a veterinary degree and take my instructions from any vet on a particular case.” Prior to invention of the horse spa, treatment for soft tissue injuries and maladies included ice boots and hosing horse’s legs one at a time. His spa solution is a mixture of saline, which includes Epsom salts and salt from the Dead Sea. “Because of the chemical treatment to the water, we can treat about 200 horses before we have to change water,” Williams said. He crisscrosses the United States, serving horses at high-end large quarter horse shows and events for horses from all equine disciplines. He typically sees 150 to 200 horses in the spa over a period of 10 days, with a working schedule that can extend to 14 hours a day. The Curtice man developed the mobile spa in 2012. “I would get up at 4 a.m. and work for four hours, return home and work for 12 more hours on development of the spa,” Williams said. He credits Sylvie Chevalier, also of

Kelly Meyer, of Graytown (left) and David Williams, of Curtice (right) with a “patient” receiving therapy in the Nautilus Equine Water Spa. (Photo by Mary Ann Wasserman) Curtice, for being his sounding board and for being helpful in tweaking the spa project. The unit includes a filtration system and an aeration system with two blower motors. Part of the effort of designing the spa included his learning computer grids and engineering applications. The spa is manufactured from marine treated stainless steel. It includes a power converter that can provide 220 volts. Sixtysix pressure holes bubble water around the patient’s legs. Williams says he is pretty happy with the way the spa is currently designed. After a prototype was built, he found installing

several blowers were welcome improvements. The unit is fully automatic. “The spa is manufactured at Fisher Metal Fabrication in Moline,” Williams said. “David Herman is my electrical engineer. Another unit is being assembled for a California market.” The inventor’s projection is to have five to six mobile units up and running in about four years. Williams is also anticipating offering franchise agreements for his invention and operation. “We would like to build a farm-to-farm business,” Williams said. “We would like to have a treatment minimum of 10 head.” “Dave and I have been in the spa water

because we wanted to know what the horse feels,” Chevalier said. “It is the same as a hot tub feels.” She recalls one horse that was so comfortable with the spa treatment, he lowered his nose into the turbulent water. Necessary procedures are taken to guarantee hygiene of the saline-treated water. First, Chevalier cleans patients’ hooves. Then the horses are fitted with a diaper to prevent contamination of the water. A recent therapy clinic, which included equine chiropractic massage and adjustment, was sponsored by James and Kathryn Montooth, of Fremont, at their training facility. The Montooths’ registered American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) mare TT Redneck Ninja was one of the animals treated in the mobile equine spa. “This is the first time we have contracted with Mr. Williams,” Ms. Montooth said. Horses tend to get sore from riding and running on different types of ground. We have brought him here to treat our horses as well as those of our clients,” she said. Clients included Jeff Meyer and his daughter Kelly, who traveled from Graytown to Fremont to have Williams treat their competition horses Ivy and Jet, a mare and gelding who are barrel racers, which can result in injuries that can include pulled tendons. “Jet has never been in the spa before,” Mr. Meyer said. Other clients participating in the spa clinic included Deb Baker and Devin Kroy, both of Yoder, Indiana. “My horse Sugar had a bad back,” Baker said. “She is 22 years old and I do barrel racing and pole-bending competitions with her.” Baker is concerned with her mare’s legs. Equine chiropractor for the treatment clinic included Collen Runyion, who uses massage and bone adjustment for the equine athletes. “We are here to see what Colleen and Dave Williams recommend for us to do,” Baker said. Williams suggests his patients take the time to learn how to care for their horses. “Pay attention to what the horse is ‘telling’ you,” he said.

Counseling Corner

Listen to Thomas Jefferson — ‘A strong body makes the mind strong’ From the American Counseling Association It was in 1785 that Thomas Jefferson, long an advocate of keeping active and fit, wrote “A strong body makes the mind strong.” His preferred method for staying active was long walks, which gave way to horseback rides in his later years. And while you may not have his Monticello estate in Virginia to stroll about, his advice regarding physical activity and good mental health is just as true today. Recent studies have shown that exercise can directly affect a number of things related to good physical and mental health, even to the point of improving brain function.

University of Illinois exercise scientists reviewed more than 100 recent studies related to the effects of aerobic exercise and weight training on the human brain. Several studies found that exercise promotes the production of a protein that has been shown to stimulate the growth of neurons and enhance cognitive performance. Bigger biceps and a bigger brain seemed to be what they were finding. And while most of us are aware that exercise can improve a number of health issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis, it may come as news that research has shown that exercise also produces significant psychological benefits, including help in fighting depression and anxiety.

Although experts don’t know exactly how regular physical activity helps ease depression, it appears that exercise helps release certain chemicals (like neurotransmitters, endorphins and endocannabinoids) that seem to lessen depression. Exercise also helps reduce certain immune system chemicals that have been shown to worsen depression. Of course, you don’t have to be suffering from depression or anxiety to enjoy the benefits that regular exercise can bring. One clear benefit is how it can boost selfconfidence. As you meet exercise goals and challenges you will begin to feel more confident. Getting in shape can also help you feel better about your appearance. Starting a regular exercise program can

also be a distraction that helps take your mind off your worries. And, as you hit the Y, local gym or walking and jogging trails, it’s likely you’ll increase social interaction, another key to good mental health. Yes, it does take some effort to get into a regular exercise program, but the physical and psychological benefits are many. And you don’t have to go overboard. Experts say just 30 minutes of strong exercise three times a week will bring considerable benefits to the whole you. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

No Bones About It

Taking good care of your feet can be a potential life saver

Coins! Stamps! Cards!

No Bones About It.

RN; BS; CNOR; CRNFA; OPA

disease; was partially blind had literally no feeling in his feet. One day, he came home from the store and took his shoes off, and promptly noticed a foul odor coming from his shoe. Not finding anything in the shoe he continued around the house until evening when he put his pajamas on and removed his socks, only to find a large stain on the sock around the ball of his foot. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take him long to notice a half-dollar-sized blister on the bottom of his foot, with pus in it and some bloody drainage. Bill, as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call him, had developed an ulcer on the ball of his foot, caused by a moderate size wrinkle in his sock and the pressure it exerted on the skin. Having no feeling in his feet and failing to regularly inspect them, he was helpless to prevent it. This is but one example of the plight of the severe diabetic with lower extremity neuropathy. If that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad enough, not only is the skin ripe for injury in a diabetic with neuropathy, it is quite likely to have big trouble healing, for many reasons. In the aging population, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m right smack dab in the middle of that group myself, it becomes not only prudent, but critical to maintain healthy skin everywhere on your body, and your feet in particular. Here are some valuable tips for good skin care:

The most common area of the body where the skin is most likely to be affected is the feet - specially diabetic feet. Metro Graphics Photo. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep skin clean and dry. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid â&#x20AC;&#x153;scrubbing and rubbing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Use mild soap and avoid harsh chemicals. â&#x20AC;˘ Use appropriate moisturizing lotion or cream. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid adhesive agents on skin. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t neglect areas of irritation. â&#x20AC;˘ Wear soft clothing or use extra protection. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid the sun. Also, inspect your feet daily. Use a mirror to inspect soles and between toes. Get assistance for extra careful inspection Wash your feet daily. Test water temperature with forearm or elbow.

Choose the correct type of shoe, preferably soft leather or athletic-type material. Never wear new shoes more than two hours at one time. Use caution with sandals and open toe shoes. Never wear shoes or sneakers without socks. Never walk on hot pavement or hot sand. Protect feet against sunburn with sunscreen. Never cut a corn or callus yourself. Trim nails carefully or seek professional help. Buying good quality footwear, proper trimming of nails and, more important than anything else, daily inspections of your feet are potential life-and-limb-savers.

Summer is all but gone, Halloween is just around the corner and before you can say; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holy jack-o-lantern, Batman!â&#x20AC;? November will be upon us. Ah November, a time for change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; change in the weather, temperature and hopefully, changes in your socks. Change my socks? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up with that, You ask? Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all become clearer her shortly. You see, November happens to be National Diabetes Awareness Month. What does that have to do with changing socks? Stay with meâ&#x20AC;Ś First I want to briefly talk about the largest organ in the human body. Know what that is? Well, you may be surprised to learn that the largest organ in the human body is theâ&#x20AC;Ś.skin. Yep, your skin is actually an organ. This organ is your first line of defense against injury and infection. It covers your muscles and can stretch and shrink. It also breathes and can repair itself. It helps you regulate body temperature as well. But as we age, our skin feels the effects of this process, much to our chagrin. Aging can cause many changes to our skin, including: â&#x20AC;˘ Loss of dermal thickness; â&#x20AC;˘ Decrease in fatty layer underneath; â&#x20AC;˘ Decrease in collagen fibers (which holds tissue together); â&#x20AC;˘ Loss of junction between layers of skin; â&#x20AC;˘ Decrease in number and function of sweat glands; â&#x20AC;˘ Changes in blood vessels. Still not seeing the correlation, huh? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK, you will. We all age, and will all face changes to our skin. Those most affected by these aging changes are those who have been diagnosed with diabetes. And, the most common area of the body where the skin is most likely to be affected; the feet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specially diabetic feet. More on skin in a bit. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at diabetes for a second. Here are a few points on diabetes you may not know: â&#x20AC;˘ There are more than 29 million people in the U.S. with diabetes, which comprises a little over 9 percent of the population. This number is expected to increase 2 percent a year, every year, over the next decade. â&#x20AC;˘ Almost 7 million people suffer from a non-healing wound. OK, but why is skin such an important part of a diabeticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life? One wordâ&#x20AC;Śneuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy, a condition where there is a loss of sensation in the feet and lower extremities, is a problem for those who have had diabetes for many years. Think of it this way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have you ever crossed your legs until your foot fell asleep, and then tried to walk on it? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neuropathy. A person who is diabetic and has neuropathy simply cannot feel his/her feet. Because of this inability to feel, their skin becomes an organ at significant risk for insult and injury. Many years ago when I was in private practice I took care of a man in his 50s who had been diagnosed with diabetes many years before. He had suffered long with the

Stay safe & sound this winter: make sure you’re fire smart By Bonnie K. Burman Director of the Ohio Department of Aging For several years now, there has been a concerted effort in Ohio to protect our older residents from accidental falls because they disproportionately affect our elders and can lead to hospitalization or death. There’s another serious risk for older Ohioans that affects them more that the rest of the population, and that’s death in a fire. While older Ohioans make up 14 percent of our population, they account for more than 39 percent of fire-related fatalities. Like falls, fire-related deaths can be prevented. The Department of Aging is proud to partner with the Ohio Department of Commerce Division of State Fire Marshal, local fire departments, the Ohio Department of Development Services, the Division of

Real Estate & Professional Licensing, the American Red Cross and others on a campaign this fall and winter called “Safe & Sound,” designed to educate all Ohioans, and especially our elders, on how to prevent and prepare for fires, especially those caused by heating sources during the winter months. Safe & Sound has two main points. “Safe” reminds us to take safety measures such as following manufacturer’s instructions on heating and electrical equipment, keeping flammable items away from heat sources and checking your home for fire risks. “Sound” represents the phrase “sound the alarm” and reminds us to have working smoke detectors in our homes and a plan to escape in the event of a fire. Here are some tips from the Safe & Sound campaign to prepare for a fire and

help prevent one from starting: Smoke alarms Install a smoke alarm on each level of the home and inside and outside each bedroom. Check smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least twice a year. Replace smoke alarms after 10 years. Caregivers should check alarms for those who are unable to safely do it themselves. Fire escape plans Make an escape plan for the home and know two ways out. Include any necessary accommodations, such as providing exit ramps and widening doorways to facilitate an emergency escape. Speak to family members, the building manager or neighbors about your fire

escape plan and practice it with them. If possible, relocate bedrooms to the first floor, near an exit. Heating safety Never smoke in bed or near an open oxygen source, gas stove or other object. Don’t overload electrical outlets or extension cords. Plug heaters directly into the wall. Choose a space heater that has been tested and certified to the latest safety standards. Use only the correct fuel in kerosene heaters; never refill a heater while it’s hot and only refill heaters outdoors. Keep flammable objects (including blankets) at least three feet from any heat source. Do not use the kitchen oven range to heat your home.

THE PRESS

Candidate forum A public forum for candidates seeking seats on the Woodmore Board of Education next month has been scheduled for Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. at the PreK-8 Building in Woodville. The public will be able to submit written questions, which will be collected during a brief intermission. Reiter said those questions will be screened by herself and Jamie Beier Grant, director of the Ottawa County CIC, to delete personal or insulting queries and to ensure at least one question is directed to every candidate. The race for the school board is one of the most competitive in Sandusky or Ottawa counties, with nine candidates on the ballot. Four of five board seats are open, including one with a partial term due to Grant Cummings resigning last spring. Incumbent Corinna Bench is the only candidate for that seat. Eight candidates, including incumbents Steve Huss, the board president; Julie Bowman, vice president, and Dan Hoppe, an appointed incumbent are in the race for the other three seats with challengers Cara Brown, Sean Rizor, Samuel Preston, Kelly Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor and James Kamman.

Cardinal Stritch vs. Northwood All-Time Series YEAR Northwood Stritch 1985 7 28 1986 6 20 2000 19 31 2001 26 7 2002 44 0 2003 61 13 2004 20 14 2005 41 14 2006 0 18 2007 56 18 2008 54 6 2009 64 7 2010 44 0 2011 49 13 2012 42 0 2013 69 7 2014 53 0 NORTHWOOD 13, CARDINAL STRITCH 4

Rangers, Cardinals start 2-4, but it’s ‘a different 2-4’ Northwood and Cardinal Stritch did not become a rivalry until both schools were members of the Toledo Area Athletic League. Since, the rivalry has blossomed. “We get good crowds for everything when we play Stritch, whether it’s volleyball, soccer, basketball or anything,” Northwood athletic director and football coach Ken James said. “The kids see each other around at all the local events, and obviously, it’s a league game as well so that heightens the intensity level.” On the gridiron, the two schools first played each other in 1985, and Stritch won the first three games by a combined score of 79-32. Since 2001, Northwood has taken 13 of 14 games by an average margin of 40 points per win. That doesn’t mean that Stritch won’t be up for the game when it happens again this Friday in Northwood. “Unfortunately, its’ been the wrong way on the scoreboard,” Stritch coach Brian Wical said. “One year, we didn’t win a game, going 0-10, and we played those guys in week 10. I think they were something like 8-1 coming in, and it was really neat to watch our kids, who by all respects could have packed it in at the end of the season. I mean, we’re an 0-9 team going against an 8-1 team, and our kids were still so high for that game, which was great. “And, they quickly took our wind out of our sails when they put up 50 on us in the first half, but it was cool to see that. You can always tell when Northwood is coming on the schedule within the next 10 to 15 days because our kids seem to get real excited. Our kids always look to that Northwood game every year as a big game.” This year, on paper, the two teams look evenly matched because they are both 2-4 after six weeks. However, Stritch defeated an 0-6 team by one point and won another game by forfeit, and Northwood has lost to

four teams that would all be in the playoffs if the season ended now. “It was a tough early schedule, but you can’t use that as an excuse,” James said. “We didn’t play well. We played good teams, but we didn’t sometimes have our best games. We made some errors. When we had red zone opportunities, we didn’t do real well there. “So our focus the last few weeks has been on us controlling the things we can control, whether it’s penalties, protecting the ball and things like that. We’re studying, making sure we know the game plan. “Each week we’re trying to focus on the areas where we’ve been deficient, and once we’ve gotten that taken care of, sometimes more of that pops up. So, we’ve gotten to the point where we are getting by some of those,” James continued. “Physically, I think we’ve gotten healed up a little bit from being bruised up a little bit early — bruised mentally and physically since we struggled early. Now, we’re getting to the point where we are starting to play well, starting to pull together a little bit. Not as soon as we would have liked, but nonetheless we’re getting better.” Out of James’ option offense, Northwood was hoping to pass the ball to get past early opponents Rossford (4724), Lake (49-0), Gibsonburg (33-17) and Ayersville (27-7). However, senior quarterback Mike Vallejo has not been able to match anticipated passing numbers. As a junior, Vallejo threw for 840 yards and eight touchdowns, completing 47 percent of his passes. This year, receivers have caught 16 of 57 passes (27 percent) for 275

yards, one touchdown and he’s thrown six interceptions. Joey Woody has six catches for 92 yards (15.3 per catch) and Gavin Fritz has six catches for 77 yards (12.8). Vallejo was repeatedly sacked, but when he gets away he can turn a run into big yardage. He, along with Woody, Fritz, and Jonny Wheeler have managed to run for a combined 1,037 yards through six games. Fritz is averaging 8.2 yards per carry (26 rushes for 212 yards), Woody 6.2 yards (34 for 210), Wheeler 5.1 (62 for 314) and Vallejo 3.5 (85 for 301), which for the athletic QB includes multiple lost yardage plays. So, Coach James is making adjustments, with the hopes that Vallejo will still get his passing opportunities, but under better circumstances. “We’ve probably simplified a little bit what we’re doing, and I know how it sounds when I say that because we are usually pretty simple anyways,” James said. “So, we threw it a lot early and didn’t do so successfully, so now we just focus on getting our running game because that opens the play-action stuff for us. “We’re not a ‘drop back and throw it 40 times type of team,’ so we’ve done better there the last couple weeks. We’ve done a better of job of running the ball and controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and limiting the opponents’ ability to run.”

Stritch’s defense tightening However, defending against the run is something Stritch is getting better at, too. “I think one of the things that we’ve been able to identify through the course of the season is that we don’t stop the run

very well right now, especially the outside run, so that’s been a focal point for us the last week,” Wical said. “Last week against Hilltop (6-0), for the first time, we actually defended the run well. We held them to 130 yards rushing, which has been our best performance,” Wical added. Wical is seeing a youth movement going on at Stritch. His team made the most of it, defeating Edon 21-20, and losing to undefeated Hilltop by one, 27-26, the first of two times the teams met. “Inside is where most of our seniors play, and this week, we rolled out two freshmen wide receivers, a senior at quarterback, a junior running back, and a sophomore and a senior receiver, so we only have two seniors of all our skilled guys, offensively. Defensively, it is nearly the same thing,” Wical said. James believes Stritch’s youth at the skilled positions can make them unpredictable. “Sometimes being young is not a bad thing. Sometimes when you are young, you don’t really know how good you should be or how good you aren’t,” James said. Northwood, after losing its TAAC opener to Gibsonburg, has won two in a row, defeating Ottawa Hills, 21-3, and Edon, 41-0. The Rangers still believe they have a chance to share the league title if they can win out and someone knocks off both the Cadets and Golden Bears. “You never can tell, so basically the last couple weeks that’s been our focus, keeping that opportunity alive and maintaining that as much as we can,” James said. “We try to compartmentalize things as much as we can through the course of the season — whatever the situation is — even if we are playing really well, undefeated and in the drivers’ seat, we try not to look too far ahead, either way. “We have a young, big roster, so we have a lot of guys fighting for playing time and that makes practices competitive and that’s a good thing.”

OCTOBER 12, 2015

Nick DeLauter goes all out every single Friday night By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Introducing the dual “personality” of Lake senior football standout Nick DeLauter. By day, DeLauter can come across as author Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Henry Jeckyll. On Friday nights, however, you’re likely to witness the evil Edward Hyde side of DeLauter. That’s one way Lake football coach Mark Emans described DeLauter, a two-year starter at inside linebacker and a starting wingback on offense. “He’s just an all-around tough player,” said Emans, whose unbeaten and sixthranked (Division V) Flyers traveled to Northern Buckeye Conference rival Woodmore Friday. “Off the field, he’s very quiet and unassuming. On the field, a light switch goes off and he really has a high motor. He amps it up pretty well on Friday nights.” Most high Nick DeLauter school teams give one of their players an individual award for the best hit from the previous game. The Flyers have named theirs the Hammer Award, and DeLauter has won the award four times this season. “He’s a tough guy on the field,” Emans said. “He’s not a dirty kid, not a cheap-shot kid. He plays football like the old-fashioned football players. His teachers like Nick because he’s not that troublemaker kind of kid. He goes about his business quietly.” DeLauter (5-foot-10, 195 pounds), who played tight end last year, admitted he never really thinks about winning the Hammer Award. He said it “just kind of happens.” “The only thing I think about is going out there and getting the W,” he said. “If (winning the award) happens, it happens. I’m pretty sure the last time I got it was on a

(Photo by Heather Rettig) punt return against Archbold (a 45-0 win on Sept. 11) and I blindsided a kid. I heard it came close to rupturing his spleen. It was a clean hit. That’s probably the best one yet.” DeLauter leads the Flyers (6-0, 3-0 NBC) in tackles (51), tackles for loss (4) and interceptions (4). Lake’s defense has posted four shutouts this season and allowed a grand total of 64 points. “We are all very physical,” DeLauter said. “Our front four, our linebackers and defensive backs, we stick to the game plan and we’re very physical about it. I’m not really surprised (with the shutouts). I knew coming into it we were going to be pretty good, so it’s not too big a surprise for me.” He added that being a senior and playing for an undefeated team that is on track to win a conference title and a berth in the state playoffs means a lot. “Every practice we go as hard as we can to get better and improve,” DeLauter said.

“We want to prove to everyone, even in the community, that Lake is still around. We lost a lot of seniors last year and we knew we had to pick it up. The seniors this year are just stepping up and making plays.” DeLauter started at wingback as a sophomore but converted to tight end as a junior. Emans moved him back to wingback this season, and DeLauter has contributed 171 yards rushing and one touchdown on 26 carries. “If we didn’t have Brandon Short (1,183 rushing yards) in our offense, which is a big plus for us, Nick would be a featured back on our team and probably for a lot of other teams,” Emans said. “He’s our blocker on the sweeps, someone who sets the edge. Without him blocking, Brandon doesn’t get half the yards he’s got this year.” It should come as a shock to no one when DeLauter says he actually enjoys blocking for his teammates.

“That’s what gets the touchdowns,” he said. “I’m pretty sure every game Brandon comes up to me and says, ‘Good block.’ I like it, but I’m more of a defensive player this year.” DeLauter said he wants to play football at the collegiate level, and he’s still weighing his options. Emans would be happy to put in a good word for DeLauter to any potential college suitor. “Nick is just a real pleasure to have,” Emans said. “Just an all-around tough player. I’ve coached a lot of kids in 30 years, and he ranks right up there in effort, in attitude and in ability. He’s top notch.” One of Lake's biggest tests will come this Friday when they travel to face defending NBC champion and perennial playoff contender Eastwood at Freedom Field.

Getting respect — that’s what Eli Brown, Eagles are after By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Here is a direct quote from Eli Brown, Eastwood’s senior right halfback and strong safety: “I play hard every game.” That’s why Brown’s teammates and coaches respect him and why opponents often fear him, despite his 5-foot-8, 145-pound frame. Brown knows and accepts his role on this team, just like he did last season when the Eagles relied on Northern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year Grant Geiser and Devin Snowden in the backfield. Brown was that third running back, used mainly as a blocker, who still rushed for 405 yards and six touchdowns on 62 carries. “I block when I have to and run the ball when I get (called on for) carries,” said Brown, who also plays baseball and wrestles. “Defensively, I just need to do my job, do what my coaches tell me and play hard and make plays. Personally, I think I’ve had a pretty good season so far.” Eastwood coach Jerry Rutherford would certainly not disagree. Despite an 0-3 start, when they lost to Start, Clyde and Oak Harbor, the Eagles have turned things around with wins over Otsego, Fostoria and Woodmore. They travel to NBC rival

Genoa this week. “We had a tough start, but I thought we could continue to get better and I think we have,” Rutherford said. “We’ll find out now. The rest of our season is pretty tough. Genoa has been a great game for us for the last eight years, and we still have Lake and Rossford and Elmwood. Those four games are huge. “The guys have worked hard, and guys like Eli, the seniors, they never gave up. We’re playing a lot of young guys and they have done a nice job getting us to this point. Eli is a hard worker who goes out and does his job every day. He never says a word. He knew his role last year and this year, and he gets the job done. What more can you ask of a guy?” Through six games Brown has 194 yards and three touchdowns rushing on 48 carries. He also has four receptions for 143 yards (35.8-yard average) and two touchdowns. Brown is fourth on the team in tackles, with 26, including four tackles for loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries. Brown returned his only interception this season for a touchdown, a 74-yarder against Otsego. It was the first defensive score of his career. “There were a couple guys there (to make a tackle),” Brown said, “but there were some blockers and I just ran down the sideline for a touchdown.”

Despite losing three straight nonleague games to open the season, the Eagles are still in position to defend their NBC championship. That’s what Brown and his teammates are counting on. “People don’t realize the schedule we play,” Brown said. “Nobody expected Start to be good. They’re big and they have a really good team. Clyde, that’s a tough game every year. Oak Harbor, we felt we could have played better. We can’t do anything about it now. We just have to look forward to next week. “I think it would say a lot about us as a team, coming back after an 0-3 start and ending up winning the league. That’s all we can really ask for.” Brown said Eastwood didn’t do anything in particular to right the ship, so to speak, these past three weeks. The offense averaged 54 points a game while the defense allowed just 30 points during that stretch. “We just bounced back and kept working hard,” said Brown, who plans to play baseball in college. “We got a couple wins and got some confidence and started rolling. We had a couple turnovers against Oak Harbor, penalties in all of our losses that would just kill our drives. We just started executing better. Our offensive line has come a long way, and it’s a good feeling when those guys are blocking for you.”

OCTOBER 12, 2015

Dyer — an example of determination By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Josh Dyer still remembers his first football game as a freshman, in 2012, when he played inside linebacker for Gibsonburg against Elmwood. “It was a different experience, definitely nerve-racking,” Dyer said. “My first game I was a little slow getting used to how the game was played. I remember later, against Lakota, not starting that game and getting put in in the fourth quarter and it seemed like it just clicked. I was seeing open holes and seeing how everyone moves faster.” Dyer is now in his fourth season as a starting linebacker for coach Steve Reser’s Golden Bears, who were 6-0 and 3-0 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference heading into this week’s game against Montpelier (2-4). “I’ve been thinking about being a senior my whole high school life, thinking about what it would be like,” Dyer said. “It feels better than I thought. I thought I would be worrying about this being my last year, but I’m excited about going out with a bang with my senior class.” Dyer and junior lineman Ian Taylor are tied for the team lead with 47.5 tackles apiece, while Dyer also has three tackles for loss, one caused fumble and a half-sack. With Dyer’s help on defense and offense, where he starts at fullback, Gibsonburg has outscored its six opponents by a 257-70 margin. “My main responsibility is to stop the run,” Dyer said. “We (linebackers) are taught to read the guards and see where they take us, whether it be a run or a pass. I think we’re all playing phenomenal. Our D-line really gets after it and our DB’s are keeping in coverage and making sure they’re staying on their guys. Our safety (Isaak Arriaga), thankfully, likes to hit. I really like having our D-Line there. They create havoc in the backfield.” The 5-foot-10 Dyer said he’s gained a solid 15 pounds from last season, when he played at 180. The confidence in that added weight, no doubt, inspired Dyer to become more aggressive on offense and defense. “I wanted to make sure my teammates were motivated throughout the season, in practice and in games,” he said. “I wanted to become more of a hitter instead of sliding off people. I haven’t been the biggest linebacker, so it’s been a problem. I have been a better hitter this year, being able to deliver a blow instead of taking one.” Gibsonburg was a middling program prior to 2014: 4-6 one season and then 5-5 the next, and so on. Last year’s team turned things around, finishing 9-1, and the Bears are 6-0 this season. Dyer said the turnaround was largely due to the leadership from the senior class. “They were able to get us all on task more, and it’s carried over to this year,” Dyer said. “We’re not letting people screw around and we’re basically coordinating the game better, making sure we know our stuff and can do certain things. It seems like we’re working together a lot more. We grew up together and we trust each other to get the job done.” Dyer truly has put the needs of the team ahead of his personal aspirations. A year ago he was the Bears’ second-leading rusher, with 703 yards and eight touchdowns. This year, Reser switched Dyer’s role on offense to more of a blocking back, or traditional fullback. Dyer has just 25 carries this season, for 94 yards (3.8 average) and two touchdowns. He is fourth on the team in rushing attempts. Dyer is also the team’s punter, averaging 33.1 yards on 13 punts, and he has returned two kickoffs for 17 yards. “His carries have been reduced and he has accepted that very, very well,” Reser said. “He is a great all-around player, does very well in the classroom (3.9 GPA), and puts the team and winning games ahead of himself. He’s doing an excellent job as our backfield guard, as we call him, and his defensive play consistently gets better from game to game.” Dyer said he was never officially told he was going to be used primarily as a blocking back, but he had no problem with the switch. “It just kind of happened throughout practice and the coaches seeing how we would play,” he said. “I would do anything for my team in order to help us win, whether it be on the line or as a wide receiver. As long as we keep winning, I’m OK with that.”

(Photo by Jeff Holcomb) From this point forward, Gibsonburg will be the favorite to win the TAAC championship, and the squad would like to atone for last year’s exclusion from the playoffs. The Bears were the only 9-1 team in Ohio to not qualify for postseason play. “It would mean so much,” said Dyer, who plans to study mechanical engineering at the University of Toledo. “That’s what we’ve always worked for, to make the playoffs. Coming so close last year, it left a bitter taste in our mouths but we don’t really focus too much on last year. We just focus on the next game.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Desperation The shining dreams and ideals of youth often become tarnished and faded in mid-life. We expected great things from life but are disappointed to see our dreams unfulfilled and time running out. Thoreau famously remarked that “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” Living with this desperation takes a heavy toll which few can bear. Most of us either relinquish the dreams or lower our expectations. Some of us continue to believe that the brass ring might still be grasped. But no one can live with the thought that they have somehow failed at life, or failed to live up to their own ideals. So how should we face this? How do we live in

Elliston

such a way that we can approach the grave with a fullthroated singing of our dreams and ideals? One way is to keep doing the best that we can, knowing we are finite creatures who often stumble. But, at least if we know that we have run the race with determination, never giving up, we will know we have done our best. We should also realize that this isn’t an individual race, but a relay race, where we have taken the baton from others and will soon pass it on. And finally, the coach of our team is God, and ultimately God’s team will win. “When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way.” Psalm 142:3
