Cleaning up debris after nor’easter By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Strong winds and heavy waves from a powerful nor’easter pounded the Lake Erie shoreline during the April 14 weekend, leaving considerable debris in its wake. Oregon spent last week cleaning up the scattered debris, including a number of large trees, carried ashore by 10 to 12 foot waves. “Most of you are aware of the flooding we had on the north side of Bayshore Road,” Public Service Director Paul Roman said to city council on Monday. “The street department and fire department did a great job and stayed on top of it. Although the weather forecast predicted the nor’easter storm, Roman said he was surprised by how fierce it was. “I don’t think anybody expected the waves to be as high as they were. The wave run-up was unreal. Probably the last big flood that I went through here was in April of 1997,” said Roman, a year after he started working for the city. In that flood, residents needed help leaving their homes. The fire department used boats to assist them. Tobias Ditch, near South Shore Park, didn’t have a back flow valve at that time,

from being flooded out,” he said. Roman said he’s never seen so much debris deposited on the shoreline. “That is the most debris I have ever seen,” he said. “At the end of Bayshore Road, I cannot believe the mountain of debris that is down there. It is unreal. I’ve never seen so much. We are going to try and get Dumpsters out. Obviously, the street department is doing a lot of cleanup with the bigger stuff. We may try to get a Dumpster out at Wynn School. Some people down in that area have asked for it. We’re looking at some other areas, possibly in the Baywood area.” Another possible location is the former Senior Center parking lot on Bayshore Road.

he recalled, and the south side of Bayshore Road experienced heavy flooding. Since then, a valve has been installed, which kept lake water from backing up into the ditch and flooding many homes. He also said city workers prepared in advance by getting pumps in some of the ditches on Friday before the storm in anticipation of heavy rains. “I think, with this event, having the pumps there ahead of time stopped a lot of people on the south side of Bayshore Road

Huge trees Council members praised Roman and the street and fire departments for their prompt attention to the storm’s aftereffects. “The street and fire departments did a terrific job,” said Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, who lives on lake front property on Bayshore Road. “This is the worst I’ve seen since we’ve moved there in 1987,” she said. She was curious about all the logs and trees left behind.

The Village of Walbridge has won another court victory in a contract dispute with a company it retained to install a new liner in the municipal swimming pool. The Sixth District Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court decision which ruled the village wasn’t in breach of contract when it partially paid Aquatic Renovations Systems, Inc., for the installation of a new pool liner. A contract agreement form between the village and Aquatic Renovations was signed on May 2, 2012 for a liner in the amount of $52,721. A week later, the village had an engineer conduct an evaluation of the pool which found it needed repairs before a liner could be installed, according to court records. In June, the village paid $15,763 for liner material and design work to Aquatics, which was not involved in the repairs. Almost a year later, Mayor Ed Kolanko signed a quotation from Aquatics for $36,958 for the balance for installing a liner and the company completed the liner project in June 2013. By the next month, however, the village administrator notified the liner had lifted away from the walls and bottom of the pool due to a water leak. The village and Aquatics couldn’t agree on how to resolve the issue and the village refused to pay the balance of the cost. The company filed a complaint in the Wood County Common Pleas Court in January 2016 and argued it had entered into two contracts with the village and the village had breached the second contract. In its response, the village countered the parties entered into the first contract but there wasn’t a second contract. In May 2017, the common pleas court ruled neither contract was valid because they didn’t comply with statutory law covering municipalities. The appeals court agreed. “We’re pleased with the decision. We worked hard to represent the village and said we didn’t think we needed to pay the money they say we owed,” the mayor said. The pool is operational, he said, adding the village maintenance workers have made improvements to it.

Oregon cleaning up storm debris after nor’easter Continued from front page

Back flow valve Last Wednesday, a few days after the storm, Roman told The Press that although the rain was not as heavy as expected, there was still a couple of feet of water in the streets. “So the fire department decided to go door to door to see if people needed any help” he said. “The street department was trying to set up pumps anywhere we thought it would help people.” Roman said the Army Corps of Engineers offered the city a grant to install the back flow valve in Tobias Ditch in the late 90s, which reduced flooding on the South side of Bayshore Road. “Tobias Ditch comes up along Lagundovie Road in South Shore Park. Years ago, we installed the valve there. It allows drainage to go out to the lake, but when the lake is backed up, it won’t allow

“

At the end of Bayshore Road, I cannot believe the mountain of debris that is down there.

“

“I don’t know where all those trees came from. They’re huge. It’s like a forrest that’s been devastated. It’s quite amazing. I don’t know if there’s any way to get the wood to be reused, chipped or mulched. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. There’s just a lot of it. But thank you to everyone.” She added that putting the pumps out saved the South Shore Park and the south side. “It minimized the flooding on the north side as well, and kept it down,” she said. “I think you’ve done a great engineering job helping everyone out there when we get these unforeseen major storms.” Councilwoman Kathleen Pollauf was also pleased by the city’s response to the storm. “I have gotten a lot of text messages from a lot of people that I know that are out there. They were impressed with city workers and firemen going door to door and they didn’t think they would do that. But they were shocked that they were asked if they needed anything, and given a number to call if they did. That was a really nice touch. So kudos to them,” said Pollauf.

it to come up the ditch. The only issue with it is if you have a northeast wind where the lake is high and the back flow valve keeps the lake water from backing up into that ditch, we still have to pump the rain water from around the valve into the lake. So only when there is a northeast wind and it’s raining at the same time do we do this. If we don’t pump, the rain water in the ditch will build up in height and overflow the ditch bank. A lot of times when we’re watching the weather forecast and see that there’s going to be a rain event with a northeast wind, we get pumps out there and plan for that. So we did that last week. We were getting pumps up on Friday, not knowing what we’d see, but preparing for it. In this type of event, we had rain but it was not as much as a problem as the wave run-up from the lake. As much as we were able to protect the south side of Bayshore, the north side still got a lot of water from the waves. The wave run-up was 10-12 feet higher than what anybody expected, and just inundated that area. So we had pumps in Tobias Ditch, but we grabbed every pump we had to help people on the north side and try to pump it over the dike. But the rain runoff was unreal.” There are two main Dumpster locations the public can use to deposit debris. One is located on Nadir Dr. near the intersection of N. Wynn and Bayshore roads.

Luckey project

Excavation of contaminated soil starts, Corps says By Press Staff Writer The excavation of contaminated soil at the former Brush Beryllium site near the Village of Luckey began last Monday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said in a project update. Arleen Kreusch, an outreach program specialist for the Corps, said the material is being stockpiled on-site until there is enough to start sorting it. There are an estimated 14,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil in the area of the first phase of the remediation project, she said. Kreusch said the excavation is starting slowly to ensure procedures such as contamination control and environmental/ health monitoring are being followed. The Corps has contracted with Portage, Inc., a company based in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to be the prime contractor for the clean-up project. The site is a former beryllium production facility the Atomic Energy Commission operated in the 1950s as part of the national defense program. The Corps has identified soils contaminated with beryllium, lead, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234 and uranium-238 for removal. To prevent the spread of contamination during the soil clean-up phase, the Corps is implementing several precautions, including dust control to ensure the soil doesn’t become airborne. Also, an on-site weather station will be used to stop work as needed based on the conditions. Workers entering the area will be wearing protective clothing and personal breathing air monitors. When they exit, their protective clothing will be removed and disposed and they will shower on site. Kreusch said on-site office trailers will be routinely surveyed for contamina-

Obituary

Donna Dusseau 11/14/1929 ~ 4/13/2018

Donna Dusseau, 88, of Graytown, died Friday morning, April 13, 2018, at Riverview Healthcare Campus in Oak Harbor. Donna was born to Forrest A. and Elsie (Zunk) Marsh on November 14, 1929, in Curtice, Ohio. On January 20, 1948, in Mominee Town, Ohio, she married Cyril "Barney" Dusseau and he preceded her in death July 3, 2000. Donna loved to cook! She cooked at the former Leona's Grill in Oak Harbor, the Country Keg in Genoa, the Oak Harbor Hotel and the Chippewa Golf Course. Donna enjoyed going to the casino and for 50+ years belonged to the same Bunco group. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Genoa.

Donna is survived by her children: Edward (Kim) Dusseau, Rebecca (Jim) Rose, Jeff (Lisa) Dusseau and Renee (Mike) Reif, all of Graytown, Anita Myerholtz of Elmore and Lisa (Jeff) Hasselbach of Fremont; 26 grandchildren, 15 step grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren; and daughters-in-law, Donna Dusseau of South Carolina and Judy Dusseau of Genoa. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, daughter, Sherry (John) Farrar, sons Robert Dusseau and Joseph Dusseau; sisters, Beverly Huston, Patricia Snider, Myrtle Whitcomb and Bernice Schimmel; and brother, Joe "Sonny" Marsh. Arrangements were handled by Robinson-Walker Funeral Home & Crematory, Genoa. Burial was at Limestone Cemetery, Graytown. The family has suggested memorials for Donna to go to Hospice of Northwest Ohio, 30000 E. River Rd., Perrysburg, OH 43551; Trinity United Methodist Church, 313 Main St., Genoa, OH 43430; or the Rocket Little League Baseball Association.

tion and there will be air sampling in and around the excavation areas during work and continuously around the perimeter of the site. The sampling will monitor for beryllium, lead and radionuclides. She said the air monitors are pre-set to activate at levels below what are considered to be a problem, allowing the excavation work to stop and a cause for the

alarm to be found. Materials that are being transported for disposal will be bagged and loaded into containers. Vehicles transporting the soils and other equipment will be inspected prior to leaving. The Corps announced in November that contaminated soils from the site won’t be disposed at the Evergreen landfill in Northwood.

The U.S. Ecology Wayne Disposal Facility, Belleville, Mich., received approval from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to receive soils. The initial stages of the clean-up have focused on lagoons along the site’s southern boundary along Gilbert Road. From there, crews will work on trenches north of the lagoons.

Rare river otter sighting in a Lake Township yard By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Tony Everhardt, of Lake Township, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe what he was seeing running across his front yard on Sunday, April 15. Everhardt, a ham radio operator, said he just happened to glance at some movement on a security monitor in his home on Emch Road and saw what he initially thought was a cat. But upon closer examination, he realized it was river otter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was talking on my radio. I looked at the monitor and saw it running,â&#x20AC;? said Everhardt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first thought was that it was probably a cat because we have some cats running around here. Then I looked a little closer, and thought, `Wow. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no cat.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You could tell by the pointed tail.â&#x20AC;? Surveillance footage shows the otter sprinting across Everhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front yard near some shrubbery before fading out of view. Everhardt said he went to look for it and saw the otter cross the street before it headed three houses down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I lost it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran upstairs to get my keys and took off in my car to try and get a better look at it. But I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it after that. So I came back home and looked on my security footage. I knew in my head it was an otter, but then I thought, `Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no otters around here.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hunted for over 40 years, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen one of those around here. Usually they are around rivers and creeks. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m nowhere near that. So I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of rare in this area.â&#x20AC;? Everhardt said he decided to take his laptop containing the footage to the Maumee River hoping to find a game warden to get confirmation that the image was a river otter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fishing going on in the Maumee River right now, so I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hunt down a game warden. I found one at Ft. Meigs. I approached him and asked, `Can I bother you for a minute?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I asked him about river otters. He said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of rare. So I asked him if he could identify the image caught by my security camera. He said, `It sure looks like a river otter to me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

River otters seen on the bank of an Ohio river. (Photo courtesy ODNR) say too much. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually not around here. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had reports of them near Turkey Creek further on down the river, and maybe some marshes along the lake. I talked to a buddy of mine who lives in Elmore near the Portage River, and he said he saw them while canoeing.â&#x20AC;? Everhardt said he is puzzled by its appearance in his yard, since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;nowhere near water.â&#x20AC;? He said there is a ditch off Tracy Road, about a quarter mile from his home, a small ditch along Ayers Road about 250 yards

north of his property, and a pond about 400 yards to the south. Once extinct Sara Zaleski, a wildlife research technician with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife, told The Press that river otters are native to Ohio. But polluted streams and loss of wetlands caused their extinction in the early 1900s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wiped out many species of wildlife because we destroyed the habitats

they lived in. We cut down the forests and plowed up the land,â&#x20AC;? she said. In 1986, the Ohio Division of Wildlife began a seven year project to reintroduce the species to the state. Over this period, 123 otters were captured in Arkansas and Louisiana using modern foothold traps and were released in four Ohio watersheds: the Grand River, Killbuck Creek, Little Muskingum River, and Stillwater Creek. Since then, river otters have been sighted

Active “River otters are very active creatures. Often, they seem very playful, running around the riverbanks, along streams and marshes,” said Zaleski. “They have a very long body and long tail. They are usually dark brown with a whitish chest and chin. They are several feet long. They are not small.” Zaleski said even though Everhardt does not live close to a major body of water, there is still considerable habitat for river otters that’s not too far away. She surmised it may have been looking for food in some of the nearby ditches. “It’s possible it may have traveled back and forth in the ditch, particularly if there is fish there. Fish and crayfish are usually what they’re looking for.” Heis agreed. “They’ll ride that water to find food. That’s their main drive, to go up and down those ditches and creeks,” he said. Heis said he was familiar with the area where Everhardt lives. “Not only is it close to the Maumee River, but there are many streams and ponds-small lakes around. I also know there is a culvert that goes under I-75 by Buck Road. As you can see in [Everhardt’s] video, otters can move at a good pace. With the rain we’ve been having, their hunting territory has expanded. Those ditches along Tracy Road were full of water, creating man made creeks,” said Heis. It also could have been pulled further inland due to the nor’easter that hit the area

The ‘Green Team’ pairs with marathon

River Otter in nearly two-thirds of Ohio’s counties. Young otters or family groups have been seen throughout Eastern Ohio. In 2001, the Ohio Division of Wildlife announced that a river otter was caught in a raccoon trap along the Auglaize River in Putman County. Wildlife officials said at the time that it had been the first sighting of a river otter in northwest Ohio in nearly 100 years. “In 2002, river otters were removed from Ohio’s endangered species list due to the state’s successful reintroduction program,” said Eric Heis, public information officer with the ODNR.

APRIL 23, 2018

Meet an Ohio river otter caught by a wildlife photographer. (Photo courtesy ODNR) over the weekend, he said. The rain, wind and heavy waves from Lake Erie flooded some ditches and banks, with considerable debris, like large trees, on April 14 and 15. “It could have just been looking at whatever was coming out from those floods,” he said. Zaleski said the ODNR conducts annual bridge surveys over waterways, and sometimes spots them. “We’ve actually found quite a few of them,” she said. “There’s also a website where the public can report species sightings to the ODNR,” she added. “We get, on a fairly regular basis, an otter or two reported monthly.” River otters do not have any natural predators, she said. “They’re kind of higher in the food chain. Something would have to be pretty big to go after them. They don’t have many natural predators in this area,” she said. Heis said trapping river otters is illegal

in 45 counties in northwest, southwest, and a portion of northeast Ohio in the Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) area. It is illegal in Lucas, Ottawa, Wood and Sandusky counties in The Press circulation area. Limited trapping is permitted in some areas in central and southern Ohio. Despite the increase in river otter sightings across the state, Everhardt considers his brush with the whiskered creature a rare occurrence. “I’ve lived in this neighborhood since 1975, and I’ve never seen anything like this before,” he said. “It is exciting,” said Heis, “to see wildlife we are not used to, especially as river otter populations grow in Ohio. Bald Eagles have had a similar comeback, with sightings all around Columbus the past few years. Everhardt’s surveillance footage of the river otter can be seen on The Press’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook. com/pressnewspapers/

For the third year, Partners for Clean Streams will be partnering with the Toledo Roadrunners and the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon to lead their “Green Team.” Celebrate Earth Day with Partners for Clean Streams at the Expo on Friday, April 20 starting at 4 pm; the kid’s race and 5k on Saturday, April 21 from 8-11:30 am; and the half and full marathon on Sunday, April 22 from 8:30 a.m.-3 pm. Volunteers are still needed for both Saturday and Sunday. The Green Team will be stationed at Lot Ten and inside the Glass Bowl to divert as much recyclable material as possible from ending up in a landfill or Toledo’s waterways. Last year, Partners for Clean Streams and the Toledo Roadrunners were able to recycle 800 pounds of glass, 1800 pounds of cardboard, 40 pounds of plastic overwrap, 50 pounds of plastic bottles, and to Terracycle 25 pounds of Gu energy packs. Through these efforts, the Green Team was able to keep debris out of the Ottawa River and Ten Mile Creek and help others marathon participants become more ecofriendly. The marathon attracts 10,000 participants and also includes vendors, spectators, and other volunteer groups, so this creates a lot of waste. Without the Green Team, the trash would inevitably end up in our waterways, parks, and neighbor’s lawns. Ultimately, the Green Team is working to make the marathon more sustainable through concentrated reduction efforts on the production side and cleanup efforts post-race. For more information about the “Green Team” and how you can volunteer for Earth Day, please call Partners for Clean Streams at 419-874-0727 or email Hannah@PartnersforCleanStreams.org.

Your self-concept can influence what you achieve in life Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

Accept rejection. Not everyone will like you, nor do they have to.

“

How do you view yourself? Do you see yourself as successful, or as always struggling? Your self-concept determines the level of achievement which is possible. Your brain will not exceed the limits you impose. The person who you think you are is the person your mind strives to bring to reality. In students, this is called academic self-concept. Each student sees them self as capable of attaining a certain grade in their classes. A student who considers them self as a “C” student will not achieve anything higher. Since they don’t believe they can, they won’t. A student who sees them self as an “A” student has the potential to earn an “A.” In order for a “C” student to become an “A” student they must first believe they can do it. Their academic self-concept needs to change before their performance can improve. Your self-concept will either work for you or against you. A self-concept which is now limiting you is not a permanent condition, unless you make it one. You have the power to change your self-concept at any time. Here are some approaches you can use to improve your self-concept. Replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations is one of the single most

significant steps you can take to boost your self-concept. Your mind is programmed by whatever you tell yourself. Telling yourself negative statements such as you can’t do something, are not capable of succeeding, are not that intelligent, are not a successful person, or any other negative concepts, di-

rects your mind to impose your command as a limitation. Maintain an awareness of what you are telling yourself. Displace negative talk with positive instructions. Phrases such as I can, I will, I’ll find a way, I’ll learn how, I will be successful, and I’ll do whatever it takes, are just a few examples. Identify your strengths. You have more of them than you realize. A strength can be anything you are good at, have a knack for, or enjoy doing. You can include whatever you do, or want to do, for work, fun, or recreation. Don’t discount a strength as being impractical, or insignificant. Accept mistakes as part of the learning process. You learn more when things go wrong than when all works as planned. Learn from the past rather than lamenting it. Get back up whenever you stumble. Believe in your ability to overcome whatever challenges you will encounter. Accept rejection. Not everyone will like you, nor do they have to. There is nothing you can do to be liked by everyone. Don’t waste your time changing for the purpose of pleasing others. It’s impossible to be everything to everyone. Constantly strive to learn, grow, and improve. Strengthening your skills, abilities, and knowledge boosts your self-con-

cept. This approach also expands your capabilities. You can accomplish more through the acquisition of knowledge. Model your success strategies after others who are where you want to be. Emulate their approaches for achieving goals. There is a lot to be learned from their self-concepts. It’s a waste of time for you to figure things out from scratch. Regularly engaging in self-monitoring allows you to make adjustments as needed if you drift off course. It’s easier to make small, timely corrections than having to fix major problems that have gone unnoticed for an extended period of time. Your self-concept will be strengthened by taking positive control of your life. Focus on reasons to succeed instead of excuses for failure. Continuously tell yourself what you can do, instead of what you can’t do. You can break through any of your self-imposed limitations. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Life can come at you fast. It’s always best to plan ahead. By Jim Hightower For some 45 years, it’s been my good fortune to team up with Susan DeMarco — my cohort, companion, and co-conspirator in all things progressive and fun. But life comes at you fast… often including an abrupt end to life. Sadly, after a blood clot had slammed into her brain, DeMarco’s life ended on April first — yes, April Fools’ Day. The only good thing about it is that she departed on her own terms. She’d previously signed end-of-life legal documents directing hospital staff to remove all the tubes and equipment keeping her alive and

Guest Editorial switch to palliative care, allowing her to die naturally and pain free. In lieu of flowers, she would simply hope that others would be prompted by her passing to consider controlling their own end time. She was able to die as she wished only because she’d signed three legal documents to enforce her wishes: Durable Pow-

er of Attorney, Declaration of Guardian, and Advanced Directive to Physicians. As legalistic as all of that sounds, it’s not complicated to get and fill out standard forms for all three. Indeed, a recent Medicare provision pays your own doctor to spend time during your physical exams to tell you about, discuss, and assist you — free of charge — with “Advance Care Planning.” Also, most hospitals now hand out the documents for free. Oh, one more thing I learned assisting DeMarco with her exit is that it’s not enough to have signed the end-of-life documents — you also need someone who knows where they are when the time comes. Hospital of-

ficials cannot take your word that the documents exist. As EMS tended to her, I was frantically searching for her documents in the unmarked piles of stuff around her bedroom. I could hear her saying, “Come on, Hightower, time to go!” But, luckily, they were found, and because of that, she was able to depart as she wished. And so can we, if we plan ahead.

Remembering Barbara Bush – and her daughter Robin By Paul Kengor Only two women were both wife to a president and mother to a president. One was Abigail Adams, who died 200 years ago, October 28, 1818; the other was Barbara Bush, who died April 17, 2018. Mrs. Bush was 92 years old. Barbara Bush will be remembered as simple and unpretentious, especially following Nancy Reagan as first lady. Mrs. Reagan was known for fancy clothes and fancy friends, as part of the Hollywood set. Mrs. Bush was known for being more homespun, more Texas, even though she was raised a blueblood with much fancier trappings than Nancy. She followed Nancy in many ways, including in death, as Nancy passed away in March 2016. Still, Barbara humbly accepted the role of the older-looking and less-glamorous first lady. Her husband jokingly called her “The Silver Fox,” and she graciously smiled and accepted the ribbing. She was more Mamie Eisenhower than Jackie Kennedy. We’ll hear all sorts of things about Mrs. Bush in the next few days. But there’s one story about her that I learned when researching and writing a biography of her oldest son—a story I think is well worth remembering. It’s probably the most human thing about this very human lady. It was the fall of 1953. George W. Bush was seven years old. His parents’ green Oldsmobile pulled in front of Sam Houston Elementary School in Midland, Texas. George happened to be strolling down an

Vote for the future

To the editor: I am writing this letter to alert residents of the Gibsonburg Exempted Village School District to the consequences of allowing the present school levy to lapse. This will happen if the proposed income tax levy on the May 8 ballot is not passed. We not only lose the present levy that was voted in many years ago but we will also lose the additional 0.25 percent that is part of the new levy request on the ballot. I know it seems strange that the present levy cannot appear on the ballot with an additional 0.25 percent, but that is the way it is. You can only have one earned income levy on the ballot at a time. The result of the issue not passing means the present earned income levy which is presently 0.75 percent would end as it is not on the ballot for renewal. Thus the district would lose that levy money. The total increase in the levy proposal will amount to giving up one meal per payday at McDonalds for the average wage earner living in the Gibsonburg School District. You may be thinking that the pipeline going through this spring is going to give the schools a lot of money. It will not provide an ongoing stream of money. This appears to provide a large sum of money but it will be a one-time thing and will not cover the money we have lost from the state budget in the past few years. Gibsonburg has taken some serious hits from the Ohio legislature in the past few years when it comes to funding from the state. The district has reduced staff and made reductions in overall spending to stay within their means. However, with the last state budget, Gibsonburg finds itself with additional loss of revenue. In order to continue to provide quality education, we must replace some of the funding lost from the state. This is why we need the 0.25 percent added to the 0.75 of one percent earned income levy.

The moment that he saw the car, he set down the phonograph and sprinted ahead to his teacher. “My mom, dad, and sister are home,” he shouted. “Can I go see them?” The little sister was Robin. To this day, George W. Bush swears he saw her. He says he caught her small head barely rising above the backseat. His parents had been in New York, where they were tending to George’s little sister. He knew Robin was sick, but had no idea how sick. The 3-year-old was dying from leukemia. George’s parents returned with an empty back seat and emptier news. “I run over to the car,” said Bush almost half a century later, “and there’s no Robin.” She was not coming home. “I was sad, and stunned. I knew Robin had been sick, but death was hard for me to imagine. Minutes before, I had had a little sister, and now, suddenly, I did not.” Bush says that those minutes remain the “starkest memory” of his childhood. When asked about the incident in an interview, his eyes welled with tears. He stammered his response. Pauline Robinson “Robin” Bush started to show symptoms in February 1953, just af-

I have lived all my life in the Gibsonburg district and my children also live in the district with their families. I have worked for many years in the district in many capacities, including serving as superintendent. Gibsonburg has always been in the forefront of providing a solid education for its children. Gibsonburg was one of the first to offer all-day, every day kindergarten and then added pre-School. These two steps have given our children the skills to take advantage of the opportunities that await them in their high school years with early college and advanced classes. I urge you to make sure you get to the polls and encourage your friends also to get out and vote yes to keep what we have in place for the kids coming up in the future. So, let’s make sure we all follow the campaign logo of “A Call to Action” and make sure that “We are all in” when it comes time to vote for the school district on May 8. Richard Freeborn Gibsonburg Editor’s note: The ballot language for the May 8 issue states it is a 1 percent income tax. However, a current income tax of 0.75 percent expires in December 2018.

ter the birth of her baby brother Jeb. She simply wanted to lie down all day. Mysterious bruises began appearing on her body. The Bushes took her to Dr. Dorothy Wyvell, renowned in West Texas pediatrics. Wyvell was shocked by the test results. She told the Bushes that the child’s white blood cell count was the highest she had ever seen, and the cancer was already too advanced. She recommended they simply take Robin home and allow nature to take its course, sparing all of them the agony of futile treatments. The Bushes couldn’t do that. George H. W. Bush had an uncle in New York who was president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering cancer center. They agreed to do everything they could in the hope of some breakthrough. As for Barbara Bush, she was constantly at Robin’s side during the hospital stay. Her husband shuttled between New York and Midland. Each morning of Robin’s New York stay, her father dropped by the family’s Midland church at 6:30 a.m. to hold his own private prayer vigil. Only the custodian was there, and he let him in. One morning, Pastor Matthew Lynn joined him. They never talked; they just prayed. Barbara was the strong one throughout the affair. When Robin received blood transfusions at the cancer center, her mother held her hand. Her father had to leave the room. Robin never had a chance. Eventually, the medicine that labored to try to control the evil metastasizing in her frail frame quickly caused its own set of problems, and George H. W. was summoned from Texas immediately. He flew all night to get there, but

To the editor: Voters in the Gibsonburg Exempted Village School District will be asked May 8 to support funding that would maintain and improve school buildings and technology in the district. This is not a new tax. The 1 percent earned income tax on the ballot replaces the current 0.75 percent earned income tax that expires Dec. 31. It would generate about $1.1 million

annually, and only those who are currently employed would pay the tax. State and federal funding does not cover all the costs associated with educating students. In fact, Gibsonburg has lost $2.2 million in state funding since 2015. If the levy doesn’t pass, district leaders will be forced to make cuts to staff and transportation to cover a $900,000 deficit. They also will lack the funding necessary to improve technology and maintain buildings. When voters head to the polls on May 8, they should remember that strong schools and strong communities go hand in hand. Richard Lewis Chief Executive Officer Ohio School Boards Association

by the time he arrived Robin had slipped into a coma. She died peacefully. “One minute she was there, and the next she was gone,” remembered her mother. “I truly felt her soul go out of that beautiful little body. For one last time I combed her hair, and we held our precious little girl. I never felt the presence of God more strongly than at that moment.” It all happened so fast. By October, Robin was dead, only weeks from her fourth birthday. “We awakened night after night in great physical pain—it hurt that much,” Barbara recalled. Alas, it is said that this was the reason Barbara Bush turned prematurely gray. There was a story—quite a story—behind that trademark hair of Barbara Bush. The story’s name was Robin. May Barbara Bush rest in peace, reunited at long last with that little girl.

Otterbein hosts open house to showcase hydrotherapy Otterbein Portage Valley, a senior community located outside of Pemberville, is hosting a public open house Thursday, April 26, from 3-7 p.m. to showcase its recently installed HydroWorx 300 Sport therapy machine – an underwater treadmill that provides state-of-the-art hydrotherapy. This same machine is owned by many teams in the National Football League for use by their professional athletes. The nearest HydroWorx machine is at the Detroit Lions headquarters and training facility in Allen Park, Michigan. Hydrotherapy is the use of water to treat a disease or to maintain health. The theory behind it is that water has many properties that give it the ability to heal. The buoyancy of water in hydro therapy eliminates up to 90 percent of a person’s body weight, thus allowing for the introduction of safe, therapeutic exercises shortly after an injury or surgery. The warm water reduces pain and increases range of motion. Hydrotherapy is good for post-surgical patients—particularly orthopedic, aging adults, arthritis or chronic pain patients, individuals with back pain, stroke and neurological patients, and adult athletes. The aquatic therapy is open to all ages. The purchase of this hydrotherapy machine by Otterbein Portage Valley was made possible through the generous donations of more than 60+ residents, partners and community members. “We are so excited to have the water therapy at Otterbein Portage Valley,” said Geri Ricker, admissions coordinator. “This means we have taken our therapy to the next level...Otterbein Portage Valley now can offer therapeutic exercises with decreased joint compression and pain.” Otterbein Portage Valley is a five-star, faith-based community with approximately 200 total residents. The pet-friendly campus offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing and rehabilitation. For information on the open house or hydrotherapy services at Otterbein Portage Valley, which is located at 20311 Pemberville Rd., call 419-833-8917.

Have you been losing the “joy” out of your daily life? From the American Counseling Association According to the dictionary, joy is the emotion brought on by well-being, success or good fortune. When we’re feeling joy, we’re happy and finding good things in our lives. While measuring joy might seem hard to do, there’s one test you can try. Think about what your initial feelings are when you wake up in the morning. Are they about the joy and excitement the coming day should bring, or are they thoughts of dread and anxiety for all the pressures and responsibilities you’ll have to face? If finding joy is difficult for you to do, it’s time to take action to put some pleasure back into your life.

The

Counseling Corner A first step should be understanding what joy means for you. It’s not the same for everyone. Close your eyes and think about pleasant people, places, things and experiences that have brought you real joy. Joy should come from significant things, not just fleeting gladness because there was less traffic today or that you’re having your favorite dinner tonight.

Our sense of joy grows from our emotional, physical and mental well-being. There are a number of ways to significantly improve all those. A starting point is to enjoy your relationships. Look for the things in your family, friends and even your job that are important to you, make you feel good and bring you joy. And it’s important to look for the positive. Often, we focus on the negative, ignoring the numerous little things in our day that make us happy. It’s also helpful to realize that life is too short to see only negative things or people when there is so much around that can bring you satisfaction. Take time to watch a sunset, to appreciate nature, and to spend

a few moments each day meditating on the positive things in your life. You need to also take care of yourself. Eating right, staying active and getting plenty of rest are all ways to find more of the joy in life. While most days might bring something problematic or stressful, when you make time for yourself to focus on the good in your life, it becomes easier to minimize the stress and tension you may be facing. Finding the joy in your life is not something that simply happens to you. Your goal, on a daily basis, is to actively seek out the things that bring you joy. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Has spring finally sprung? Spring cleaning, anyone? Spring is by far my favorite season. Everything is new again, fresh, bright, ripe with hope of new adventures. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a sucker for spring. If you share even a fraction of my spring enthusiasm, you may also feel that deep-down desire to get things cleaned up and sorted after a long and messy winter. If you feel that, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to offer a somewhat random list of to-do items that may allow you to harness that spring feeling, while creating some lasting impact. Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring To-Do Suggestion List: â&#x20AC;˘ Clean your car(s) really well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking about just a trip to the drive-through automatic car wash, but rather a deep clean (also called a detail), by cleaning everything from the carpets to the inner fenders to the engine bay. Finish with a coat of wax, and I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel better about your car, your life, and yourself. â&#x20AC;˘ Wash your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s windows. What better way to improve your sunny-again view than with crystal clear windows? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discovered the approach that uses a bottle of cleaning product attached to the garden hose. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require you to get on a ladder, and looks pretty good. I also scrub

Beyond the Money by Adam Cufr

with a brush after applying the soap, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optional for clean freaks like me. â&#x20AC;˘ Go paperless. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a huge fan of ridding oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical environment of already-processed paperwork, sales brochures, receipts and more. We bought a nice scanner for our home and it makes quick work of whatever we feed into it. Subscribe to a storage service like Drobox and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wonder how you survived living among such paper clutter. â&#x20AC;˘ Clean out the corners. Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not like us, trying to manage the clutter that six kids will inevitably invite into your home, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet you have some piles of stuff that could benefit from your atten-

tion. At our house, those piles magically grow in the corners of rooms and will somehow multiply if not dealt with swiftly and purposefully. Use spring as an excuse to reclaim those corners. I suggest starting in one room and finishing it completely before tackling the next. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always fun, but it feels good when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over. â&#x20AC;˘ Go for a walk. Find an excuse to walk somewhere, anywhere. I trained myself to walk the six-tenths of a mile each way to the YMCA every morning. Maybe you can walk to the bank to close out that old checking account you no longer use. Walk to a park, a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, just pick a place and walk there. Then do whatever it takes to not stop walking regularly, even on some cold days. Pretend youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and explore something in your local world while also improving your health. â&#x20AC;˘ Consolidate like-kind investment accounts or review your 401(k) to ensure the investments still meet your needs. Oftentimes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get so busy with life that these things become forgotten in the background. Some tidying up in these areas can

begin a financial cleansing that can have lasting impact on your net worth. â&#x20AC;˘ Go full-tilt and rent a Dumpster. Admittedly, one of my favorite life-change strategies is to purge lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical clutter like a crazy person. A Dumpster will help you do that. The amazing thing is how this also helps create the momentum to clear the mental clutter as well by generally streamlining oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Get to work on lightening your load; it can feel really good. And if you choose to do none of these things, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay too. You may already feel great and content with what you have and where you stand. In that case, consider lying down in the grass like a kid and soaking in the wonder of a new spring and the end to another cold winter.

Steps to prevent â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charley horseâ&#x20AC;? from kicking you By Zoe Deol, MD, FACS,

Once upon a time, there was a horse named Charlie. He would visit the homes of innocent people at night, and kick them in the leg, waking them from sleep. Poor Charlie was just misunderstood. Deep down, he was a good horse. He was simply trying to let these people know that they needed something and kicking them in their sleep was the only way he knew how. So now that you know your Charlie horse may be carrying an important message for you, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try to translate this message into something more understandable (and less painful.) Leg cramps, or Charlie horses, have a variety of different causes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll address some of the most common causes. First is a simple matter of hydration. Not getting enough water in your daily routine can lead to dehydration and leg cramps at night. The current recommended amount of water is eight 8-ounce glasses (or half a gallon) a day. Coffee and tea do not count since these are both diuretics and will cause you to lose water. Sodas will do the same thing, due to the high sugar content. Even adding lemon to your water will cause a diuretic effect. Try to get into the habit of drinking eight glasses of pure water each day. Another cause of leg cramps at night is medications such as diuretics (â&#x20AC;&#x153;water pillsâ&#x20AC;?) and/or cholesterol medications. Diuretics will not only cause you to lose water, but they also cause you to lose potassium. Most people who take a diuretic will also take a potassium supplement; however, it is important to follow up with your doctor to be sure your potassium levels are normal, especially if you are having leg cramps. Cholesterol medications called â&#x20AC;&#x153;statinsâ&#x20AC;? can deplete your body of CoQ10, a product your body needs for normal energy function. Low levels of CoQ-10 secondary to statin medications have been

Not drinking enough water (donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include coffee, tea or soda) in your daily diet can lead to dehydration and leg cramps at night. Certain medications, including diuretics and cholesterol medications, can also cause Charley horses. linked to body aches and muscle cramps. Taking a CoQ-10 supplement daily may help to relieve these aches and cramps. Typical recommended doses range from 100 mg to 400 mg a day. CoQ-10 can be purchased without a prescription at most major grocery stores and drug stores. Another, less well known, cause of leg cramps is venous insufficiency. Venous insufficiency can be obvious if you have visible varicose veins on your legs. However, it may be much less obvious if you do not have visible varicose veins,

Venous insufficiency is treated with a simple office procedure, with no down time or time off work. So, the next time your Charlie horse kicks you in your sleep, take the time to feed, water, or treat him. Zoe Deol, MD, FACS, is assistant clinical professor MSU-CHM Dept. of Surgery and Regional Medical Director and Endovenous Surgeon at the Center for Vein Restoration, 1050 Isaac Streets Dr., Ste. 131, Oregon.

but do have leg pain, heaviness, fatigue, swelling, and leg cramps. All of these symptoms suggest an underlying venous insufficiency. Diagnosis of venous insufficiency involves a routine and painless ultrasound. This ultrasound will show areas of vein valve â&#x20AC;&#x153;leakageâ&#x20AC;? which causes the blood to pool in your legs as you are sitting or standing. The collection of pooled blood in your legs is what leads to the symptoms of swelling, heaviness, fatigue, pain and leg cramps.

Brain pacemaker shows promise in slowing decline While most treatments for Alzheimer’s disease focus on improving memory, researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center conducted a study aimed at slowing the decline of problem-solving and decision-making skills in these patients. Thin electrical wires were surgically implanted into the frontal lobes of the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease to determine if using a brain pacemaker could improve cognitive, behavioral, and functional abilities in patients with this form of dementia. The deep brain stimulation (DBS) implant is similar to a cardiac pacemaker device, except that the pacemaker wires are implanted in specific regions of the brain rather than the heart. This is the first use of DBS in Alzheimer’s disease in a behavioral regulation brain region target. Findings of the study are published online in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. “We have many memory aides, tools and pharmaceutical treatments to help Alzheimer’s patients with memory, but we don’t have anything to help with improving their judgments, making good decisions, or increasing their ability to selectively focus attention on the task at hand and avoid distractions. These skills are necessary in performing daily tasks such as making the bed, choosing what to eat and having meaningful socializing with friends and family,” said Dr. Douglas Scharre, co-author of the study and director of the Division of Cognitive Neurology at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center’s Neurological Institute. “The frontal lobes are responsible for our abilities to solve problems, organize and plan, and utilize good judgments. By stimulating this region of the brain, the Alzheimer’s subjects cognitive and daily functional abilities as a whole declined more slowly than Alzheimer’s patients in a matched comparison group not being treated with DBS,” he said. The pilot study found that DBS targeting frontal brain regions can reduce the overall performance decline typical-

LaVonne and Tom Moore look at family photo albums together. After 65 years of marriage, Tom is now taking care of LaVonne, who has Alzheimer’s Disease. However, the progression of the disease has been slower than a typical Alzheimer’s patient after she received deep brain stimulation in the frontal lobes of her brain during a pilot study at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. (Photo courtesy of OSU Wexner Medical Center) ly seen in people with mild or early stage Alzheimer’s, Scharre said. Scharre is a neurologist who focuses on treating patients with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. He collaborated with Dr. Ali Rezai, a neurosurgeon who specializes in neuromodulation, to conduct this clinical trial. “This DBS brain pacemaker technology is commonly used to treat Parkinson’s

disease and tremor. Our study findings suggest that modulation of frontal lobe networks by DBS holds promise for improving connectivity, cognitive and functional performance, and should be further studied in Alzheimer’s disease,” said Rezai, the neurosurgeon for this study, and former director of Ohio State’s Neurological Institute who is now leading the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute at West Virginia

University. “Alzheimer’s and dementias are devastating diseases affecting patients and their families. It is crucial to explore new options to help improve function, daily care and quality of life for these patients,” said Rezai. All three study participants showed improvement, including LaVonne Moore, 85, of Delaware, Ohio. When she entered the study, she was not doing any meal preparation. After two years of deep-brain stimulation, she could independently initiate preparations of a simple meal, assemble ingredients and cook the meal. She was able to organize an outing, including arranging transportation and destination, planning for the weather and bringing the needed money. She also regained independence to select her clothing attire, researchers noted. Her 89-year-old husband, Tom Moore, said her Alzheimer’s disease has progressed, but more slowly than he expected. “LaVonne has had Alzheimer’s disease longer than anybody I know, and that sounds negative, but it’s really a positive thing because it shows that we’re doing something right,” Moore said. She didn’t hesitate to volunteer for the study, he added. He said she told him: “I will do anything to help others not go through what I’m going through.” Next, Ohio State researchers want to explore non-surgical methods to stimulate the frontal lobe, which would be a less invasive treatment option to slow down the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of degenerative dementia, affecting more than 5 million Americans. By 2050, this number could rise as high as 16 million, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The disease – which has no cure and is not easily managed – becomes progressively disabling with loss of memory, cognition and worsening behavioral function, in addition to a gradual loss of independent functioning, Scharre said.

Scams reported in Wood Co. The Wood County Sheriff’s Office is investigating several “scam” incidents. Victims are called by suspects identifying themselves as deputies. The victims are then advised that they missed jury duty and a warrant is out for their arrest, and if they do not want to be arrested, they need to purchase money cards and give the card information to the suspects. The Sheriff’s office reminds residents they will never call and demand money.

Drug Take Back Day According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6.4 million Americans abused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet. Since older adults are often prescribed multiple medications, they are at increased risk of inadvertently becoming part of the illicit drug trade. Properly disposing of unused and unneeded prescription medicines greatly reduces the potential that they will wind up in the wrong hands and cause harm. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Take Back Day event, to be held Saturday, April 28 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., provides an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths.

Home Instead offers resources Most seniors have grand plans for retirement but have given little thought to how they will spend the time between retirement and the end of life. Recent research from Home Instead Senior Care found only one in eight seniors has made plans for long-term care, but 39 percent have made plans for their funeral. Many seniors simply do not see making arrangements for care as a priority; more than half of seniors in the Home Instead survey have not made arrangements because they are good health. Others say they trust their loved ones to handle the arrangements. But that also adds to the uncertainty their families experience – and the possibility they won’t do what the seniors really want. To help seniors and families plan for the final years, Home Instead serving the greater Toledo area recently launched “Compose Your Life Song.” The free program offers tips and resources to help families explore their options for end-of-life care, finances, insurance and funeral planning.

“Engage at Every Age” Across the country, older Americans – a rapidly growing population – are taking

part in activities that promote wellness and social connection. They are sharing their wisdom and experience with future generations, and they are giving back to enrich their communities. They’re working and volunteering, mentoring and learning, leading and engaging. For 55 years, Older Americans Month (OAM) has been observed to recognize older Americans and their contributions to our communities. Led by the Administration for Community Living’s Administration on Aging, every May offers opportunity to hear from, support, and celebrate our nation’s elders. This year’s OAM theme, “Engage at Every Age,” emphasizes the importance of being active and involved, no matter where or when you are in life. You are never too old (or too young) to participate in activities that can enrich your physical, mental,

and emotion well-being. Join ACL and AoA in celebrating by participating in the Selfie Challenge. Show how you’re engaging by taking a selfie (or have someone take your photo) and tweet it with the hashtag #OAM18.

Save on meds Consumer Reports encouraging people of all ages to bring their prescriptions to their local pharmacy and ask for the lowest possible price. Ask your pharmacist these three questions before purchasing medications: 1. Is a generic available for any of my meds? 2. Would a 90-day prescription save me money? 3. Are there any discounts?

Opioids a serious problem among senior population

“

...seniors may have unwittingly become mixed up...

“

The public is quickly learning that drug abuse goes beyond the illegal substances that are purchased on the street. Abuse of drugs extends to the prescription medications sitting in many medicine cabinets. While teenagers and young adults may be the first to be stereotyped as prescription drug abusers, seniors may have unwittingly become mixed up in one of the most misused prescription classes: opioid pain relievers. The problem of opioid abuse has been a growing issue for years. The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates 2.1 million people in the United States suffer from substance abuse of opioid pain relievers. Older patients are increasingly and repeatedly prescribed opioids to address chronic pain from arthritis, cancer and other problems that become more apparent as people age.

Data from U.S. Medicare recipients found that, in 2011, roughly 15 percent of seniors were prescribed an opioid after being discharged from the hospital. When followed up on three months later, 42 percent were still taking the medication. Fast forward to 2015, and almost one-third of all Medicare patients were prescribed opioid painkillers by their physicians, says AARP. The Canadian Institute for Health

Information says adults between the ages of 45 and 64 and seniors age 65 and older had the highest rates of hospitalizations due to opioid poisoning over the past 10 years. AARP also indicates nearly three million Americans age 50 or older have started to take painkillers for reasons beyond what their doctors prescribed. Experts from the Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing warn that dependence on opioids can set in after just a few days. Discomfort and side effects can occur when the pills are stopped. Opioids can decrease pain at first, but many people find they can be less effective over time. As a result, patients need to take greater amounts. Although many people can take opioids in small doses for short periods of time without problems, many find themselves overcome by a troubling addiction. Some doctors prefer not to use opioids as a first line of treatment for chronic pain.

Another possible risk of opioids among seniors is that the medication can cause disorientation that may lead to falls and fractures. The senior care resource A Place for Mom also says that prescription narcotics may increase risk of respiratory arrest. What’s more, an older body may not absorb and filter medicines as effectively as younger bodies can. This means that older adults might become addicted to or have side effects from a prescription drug at a lower dose. Seniors concerned about opioids can discuss other options with their doctors, such as nonopioid medications and alternative therapies for pain management, like massage or acupuncture. If opioids are prescribed, ask for the lowest dose and don’t exceed the time frame for taking the medicine. Only take the pills when absolutely necessary, and never mix opioids with alcohol or other substances.

Decrease or changes in hearing warrant a trip to the audiologist By Rebecca Krukemyer, Au.D. Hearing loss is usually a gradual process over several years. Some people will put off a hearing test for months or even years after they notice the symptoms. There are times, however, when you should not ignore a decrease in your hearing. These include: â&#x20AC;˘ Sudden decrease in hearing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you wake up and notice a decrease in your hearing or, if the change occurs over a period of days or weeks then you should not procrastinate. A sudden decrease in hearing can be a symptom of a more serious problem. Most hearing losses occur gradually over time. â&#x20AC;˘ Asymmetrical hearing loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hearing loss that is considerably worse in one ear than the other is not normal. As a general rule, the ears are exposed to the same factors that can cause hearing loss (noise, ag-

Symptoms like sudden or asymmetrical hearing loss, tinnitus or ringing in the ear can indicate a more serious medical condition. Schedule a visit with the audiologist to be sure.

ing, certain medications, etc.) and therefore the loss should be fairly the same in both ears. Hearing loss that is worse in one ear needs to be evaluated further to determine the cause. â&#x20AC;˘ Hearing loss with vertigo and tinnitus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tinnitus is a noise heard in the head that others do not hear. It may sound like ringing, hissing, roaring, crickets, or the ocean. Tinnitus is extremely common. However, if it is accompanied by hearing loss and vertigo (dizziness or disequilibrium) it should be investigated. Do not ignore these symptoms. Be sure to notify your physician immediately so that appropriate referrals can be made. At times these symptoms can indicate a more serious medical condition.

Oregon Celebrates 25 Years as a Tree City Mayor Michael J. Seferian proclaims Friday, April 27, 2018 as Oregon’s Official Annual Arbor Day Celebration, to be held at 11am on the Municipal Bike Trail, just east of the City Municipal Complex, 5330 Seaman Rd., Oregon. City To Recognize Don Charlton For His Community Service! Please join us! As part of the City of Oregon’s Arbor Day Celebration, Don Charlton will be recognized and honored for his dedicated and long-standing service to our community. Of course, Mr. Charlton is most well-known for being Principal of Wynn Elementary from 1969 until his retirement in 1990. He has been an extremely active and instrumental member on the City of Oregon’s Tree Commission for nearly 20 years. Also, he has volunteered on the City’s Health & Welfare Committee for over 30 years. Along with his wife Nancy, they initiated and continue to organize the toy collection for the Christmas Basket Program, which brings great joy to the children of our area. The City is honored to have Mr. Don Charlton, former science teacher and principal, as a person who dedicates himself in nurturing our young and promoting nature in order to invest in the lasting benefits for our community.

Care Practices & Concerns Don’t prune oak tree branches until late fall or winter. Oak Wilt is a fatal fungal disease. A species of beetle is attracted to the scent from fresh wounds to oak trees and they leave spores of the destructive fungus behind.

Local resident, Colleen Barron, is continuing Betty Carstensen’s long time Tree Seeding Distribution Program. Over 300 first grade students at Coy, Jerusalem, Cardinal Stritch, and Starr Schools received a seedling to plant at home. Colleen met with each class to explain how trees enhance our lives. Seedlings were provided by Lucas County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Don’t leave limb stubs when removing branches. Trim stubs back close to the trunk after cutting the limb a reasonable distance away from the trunk (or main limb) to prevent bark peeling. This allows for the wound to heal and avoid major decay spreading into the trunk.

Attention Oregon Residents: We “Appreciate” any help from residents and businesses for watering new and young “Street Trees.” A weekly slow watering is recommended. Contact the Oregon Street Division through the City’s website, www.oregonohio.org, or call 419-698-7016 for tree questions or concerns including unsafe/hazardous trees.

City of Oregon Mayor Michael J. Seferian Keith Henninger, Tree Commission Chairperson

in 1966. Beginning in 1968, Koester took the helm for the next 11 years (1968-78), winning two Suburban Lakes League championships (1974, 77). In 1977, his Eagles went undefeated (10-0), the program’s first undefeated season in school history, and Koester was voted SLL and Class AA Northwest Ohio District Coach of the Year. His teams also finished in first place in 1974 and 1977, second in 1973 and 1975 and third in 1972 and 1976.

(1991, 1997, 2006), including the very first one in 1991. Koester joins coaches Rolland Huss, Mike “Butch” Van Camp and Gary White as 2016 inductees into Eastwood’s Eagle Way Hall of Fame. At Eastwood (1964-79), Koester not only coached football, but also basketball, track, and golf. As an assistant football coach for four years (1964-67), he first struck gold with Eastwood’s first Northern Lakes League title under Coach Ed Barney

Long time area teacher and coach Fred Koester, a Northwood resident, passed away Thursday morning. When Koester was asked to assist the coaching staff at the annual Regional AllStar Football Game at Whitmer’s Memorial Stadium in 2008, it had marked 52 years since he first began on the gridiron as a Genoa Comet in 1956. The 2008 Perrysburg annual Regional All-Star Football Game at Whitmer’s Memorial Stadium provided a chance for Koester to catch up on his old football buddies, too, including many he coached with, coached against, and many he coached. For instance, Lake coach Mark Emans, a former Eastwood linebacker who went on to become an All-American at Bowling Green and played briefly with the Green Bay Packers, was in attendance. At the time, Emans was the coach at Wauseon High School. “I saw Mark Emans, and he had both of his twins playing in this game. When he played for me, he was a heck of a ballplayer, too. I saw a number of kids who played for me that I know,” Koester told The Press. Koester brought to that all-star game 32 years of coaching experience at Eastwood and Rossford, where his teams produced 16 all-state football players and 11 National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Scholar Athletes. Koester had coaching experience in three previous all-star games

At Rossford, Koester served as an assistant 17 years (1980-96) under Coach Tom Ferguson. The Bulldogs during their tenure won four NLL championships and earned six state playoff berths. Koester also taught junior high science classes at Eastwood and at Rossford remained a teacher and junior high principal. But Koester was always a Genoa Comet at heart, where he’s lived his entire life supporting various community endeavors. As a Comet, Koester was All-NLL in football, basketball, and track, graduating in 1960. He was co-captain of the Comet football team and selected as Genoa’s Most Valuable Linemen in 1959. Today, he is honored as an inductee in Genoa’s athletic hall of fame. Moving on to Bowling Green State University, Koester lettered under Coach Doyt Perry. In three years on the varsity his Falcons recorded a 26-4-1 record and won two Mid-American Conference championships (1961, 69). One of Koester’s highlights as a Falcon was playing in the Mercy Bowl at the Los Angeles Coliseum. He graduated from BGSU in 1964 majoring in biology, Ball State University in 1969 with a masters in biology and chemistry, and the University of Toledo in 1982 with his education administration certificate. He was a teacher at Eastwood High School from 1964-79. Koester was nominated for Eastwood’s Eagle Way Hall of Fame by former football player Doug Albright, who played for the 1977 undefeated team.

Will things be different after we die? There is a natural tendency to think that there will be a radical transformation after death, that we will be unburdened by our bodies and that our souls will fly off to heaven and be united with God. But then shouldn’t we prepare our souls now to be with God? The truth is that God won’t be changing, and probably neither will we. Our souls and the virtues and appetites we cultivate become more or less permanent parts of who we are. If you have cultivated a spirit of love and compassion in your life, and live in the presence of God, you can certainly expect more of this in the hereafter, but if you have cultivated a spirit of anger

Oregon

and hatred, or any of the other vices, these have become a part of your soul. Fortunately, these things can be changed, but only with steadfast hard work and a conscious decision to alter our characters. We can change our destiny, but only if we do the hard work necessary to change our characters. If you aren’t living in the presence of God now, what makes you think you’ll be in his presence in the hereafter? Live now as you would for eternity. “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other because love covers over a multitude of sins.” —1 Peter 4:7-8 NIV
