Ottawa County

Three police depts. seek more funds By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com In Ottawa County, three area police departments will be asking for additional tax revenues on the May 8 ballot. Departments in the Village of Genoa and Clay and Carroll townships are each seeking voter approval of 2-mill levies. Clay Township police chief Terry Mitchell said routine operations for his department have stretched his budget since voters last approved more millage. “We’ve done as well as we can do. No big purchases are planned, no big pay raises are planned,” he said. “The entire Genoa school system has moved into the township. We’re responsible for the entire district K though 12 and we spend a great deal of time there. It’s been about 20 years since we’ve asked for additional millage.” The levy would be continuous if approved. The ballot language says the levy would also be used for emergency medical service.

Rare blond, long-haired cat missing in Elmore By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Last year, when E.J. Mansour left town, one of his friends in Elmore volunteered to take care of his two cats, Tommy and Timmy. When he got back to pick up his cats on Dec. 26, as he was preparing to go home, Tommy bolted out the door. Since then, he has been tirelessly looking for the eight-year-old feline. “I work on the road,” he explained. “When I have to go out of town, they are cared for. A friend of mine in Elmore said she’d be more than happy to take care of them until I was done with the project. She never let them out. They were going to remain indoors because they were completely unfamiliar with their environment. When I dropped them off, Tommy scooted out the garage door while my attention was on something else. Before I could even react, he was out the door and gone. There was no locating him. I took a lot of time looking for his tracks, and stopped

virtually at every house in the general vicinity, but nobody had seen him.” Tommy’s coloring is rather rare, he said. The brown eyed, long-haired blond cat has a little bit of red coloring down the middle of his back and a small white patch on his chest. “The interesting thing about him is there are only about 4 percent of cats in this country that are long-haired. Of that 4 percent, only 1 percent are blond colored. So he’s an unusual cat in that regard. But nobody has seen him.” Mansour, who lives in the village of Dunbridge, between Perrysburg and Bowling Green, goes frequently to the Elmore address where Tommy escaped to leave food and water in the garage in the morning and at night. He leaves the garage door cracked open about 15 inches in hopes of luring Tommy back. “There are people who think they’ve seen him, but it’s not him,” said Mansour. “The sightings usually turn out to be a

Tommy was last seen in Elmore.

Genoa Voters in the Village of Genoa last November narrowly rejected a request for a 2-mill, 5-year levy that would have been used to update equipment and training for the village police department: 245 for to 267 against. That same millage request will be on the ballot May 8. Village officials cite a loss of federal and state funding as one reason for the millage request. Chief Brad Weis said the equipment needs include replacement of the department’s military surplus rifles and the officers’ Tasers, which are outdated and no longer serviceable. Other police equipment which will be updated through the levy includes the bulletproof vests, which are approaching their five-year expiration limit. The department-issued handguns are also due to be replaced due to their age. Police vehicles Continued on page 2

Rare blond, long-haired cat missing in Elmore domestic short-haired cat. People see from a distance a light colored cat and mistakenly think it’s long-haired.” Tommy loves other cats, but is a little skittish around strangers, said Mansour. “He may be coming at night. That might explain why nobody has seen him,” he said. Mansour has distributed fliers in the area, placed ads, and has checked with local veterinarians to no avail. “I’ve talked to an awful lot of people about Tommy,” he said. He’s also used Pet FBI, posted on Craig’s List, and used a national website, “Next Door,” which works with smaller communities. “I have looked for him everywhere I can think of.” The area where he was lost is around State Rte. 105, State Rt. 51 (Woodville Road) and Ernsthausen Road in Elmore. “If you are going down State Route 51 towards Elmore, you would turn left on Route 105, and then the very first street perpendicular to 105 is Ernsthausen Road, where you would turn left.” Tommy could be anywhere from Perrysburg to Stony Ridge, he surmises. “Oftentimes they gravitate to other cats. When they’re gone for more than a few days, they sometimes take up with feral cats to find food. There are a number of small farms in Elmore, and barns that are left partially open. He could be in any one

He won’t rest until he finds him. He doesn’t have children, but considers his cats as his family. “They’re like my children. Once they’re in your heart, you can’t turn your back on them,” he said. “And I’m not going to turn my back on Tommy.” He is offering a reward for information leading to Tommy’s safe return. Mansour can be reached at 419-308-8289. “They can always leave a message, and I will move heaven and earth to answer or return the calls no matter what time of the day or night,” he said.

of those.” Tommy first showed up at his door several years ago on a cold winter’s night wanting to come inside his house, recalled Mansour. “It was 7 below zero on a January night. I heard a caterwauling. I opened the door and it was him. I could tell he wasn’t domesticated, but he wanted to come in, and he did. I began to feed him twice a day.” After isolating him in a room, the cat became friendlier until he approached Mansour to nuzzle his hand. He got the cat fixed, and has owned him ever since. Tommy disappeared once before for three months, also in the winter, said Mansour. “Then all of a sudden, he reappeared.” His other cat, Timmy, sits by the

Hayes gets new manager Three police depts. People seek additional funds will also have to be replaced as needed due to extensive usage and mileage, the chief said. Revenues that would be collected from the levy are not intended for police salaries. If the levy is approved, it would also help take some pressure off the village’s general fund, the chief said. Some police departments in the county could face higher expenses in the future if the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station is shuttered. FirstEnergy, the station’s parent company, has been contributing funds to help pay for the maintenance of the county’s emergency radio communications system. Chiefs Weis and Mitchell both said their departments could be affected by the loss of revenues from FirstEnergy to the county. “Costs for radio operations such as maintenance and dispatching fees that the county is looking at doing could increase but nothing has been decided yet,” Mitchell said. Mark Stahl, a county commissioner, said FirstEnergy contributed $225,234 in 2017 for radio maintenance. A study of the county radio system and dispatching was completed earlier this month, he said.

board of trustees, said the levy would generate about $377,000 annually. Currently, the department has one fulltime patrol officer and two part-time officers and an administrative part-time chief. “We’re trying to get a levy passed so we can get a couple more police officers hired and get the staff back up,” he said. “This is the first levy we’ve ever put on.” The township contracts with the Oak Harbor Police Department for dispatching service. Under that agreement, the township pays about $42,000 annually, Meek said. He said he was pleased with the public attendance at a recent open house for the fire and police departments. Robert Paulsen, the administrative chief, said the levy could decide the fate of the department. “It’s important for the residents of Carroll Township to know that without this levy it’s most likely the police department would end,” he said.

Benton Twp. levy A 1.5-mill levy on the May 8 ballot in Benton Township will be used to meet rising expenses for township operations. The 5-year levy is expected to generate about $97,000 annually and marks the first time in 15 years the township has asked for additional millage to cover operating costs, according to township officials, who say they’re facing increased costs for fire and emergency medical service contracts, road maintenance, healthcare and equipment. Voters turned down a tax levy in November by an 18-vote margin: 329 for to 347 against. “We currently have three fire departments that cover Benton Township. They are Allen-Clay Fire/EMS, Harris Fire/EMS, Portage Fire Department and MidCounty EMS,” a brochure prepared by the township says. “The cost for all the departments is $160,000 yearly all paid through Benton Twp. Real estate taxes and no additional costs to our residents. Ten years ago it was $50,000 per year for fire and EMS departments. We have never asked for any increases for this since.”

Officials wary of pipeline tax projections By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Will the Nexus pipeline project be a revenue windfall for school districts and local governments along its 255-mile route? With a tax issue on the May 8 ballot, the Gibsonburg school administration is cautioning voters in the district to not look at the pipeline as a financial savior for the school system. Tim Murray, school superintendent, after a discussion with the Sandusky County auditor’s office, said he still has questions about how much the pipeline will generate in tax revenues and when they will be distributed. Adam Parker, a spokesman for Nexus, said it expects the pipeline, which will wind from southeast Ohio into Michigan, to be operational by late in the third quarter of this year. “Natural gas pipelines are subject to an ad valorem tax in Ohio based on the Ohio Revised Code,” he said. “Ad valorem taxes are paid annually while the pipeline is in service. The tax is largely based on the val-

ue of pipeline in each taxing district.” But Murray said the auditor’s office told him it hasn’t received any information from the state as to when the tax revenues will start flowing. Tax estimates prepared by Public Finance Resources in June 2016 show Gibsonburg schools receiving about $5.4 million over the first five years the pipeline is on the tax rolls. However, valuations on which the taxes are based can be appealed. Murray said the auditor told him the office doesn’t have actual valuations or a completion date yet for the pipeline. Murray said he’s also wary of the amount after conferring by phone with the auditor in Medina County where four districts would share tax revenues from the pipeline. “He believes we will not see the majority of this money, and, if we do, our state funding will be reduced to offset the increase,” Murray said. On April 28, Gibsonburg residents who are members of the Citizens for Better Schools, canvassed the village with information about the 1 percent income tax levy

that will be on the ballot next week. Although voters will see the 1 percent figure on the ballot, a current 0.75 percent tax is expiring at year’s end. Danielle Mason, a member of the committee, said she and others are concerned voters are feeling complacent about the district’s finances because of the pipeline and the construction of the Standard Wellness, LLC, medical marijuana facility in the village. Voters in the district rejected a 1 percent income tax levy last November. Jason Mumma, of the Ohio Department of Taxation, said 2020 would likely be the earliest districts would receive tax revenues. “If the Nexus pipeline is placed in service this year (2018), initial tax revenues collected and disbursed by the county to the school districts will occur in February 2020, as based upon the assessed values we will certify in October of 2019. We do not know what the valuation will be until the company files the annual report with us, and the earliest that will be is a year from now, in April, 2019,” he said by email.

Hepatitis A case The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department (TLCHD) has been notified of a confirmed case of hepatitis A in a food handler who reports recent work at Dave & Buster’s restaurant at 5001 Monroe St., Toledo. Any restaurant patrons who consumed food and/or drinks from the restaurant March 1-29 may have been exposed to the hepatitis A virus. Based on this potential exposure, TLCHD is recommending to monitor for symptoms of hepatitis A. Symptoms may include fatigue, poor appetite, stomach pain or tenderness, nausea or vomiting, dark urine and yellowing of the skin (jaundice). Symptoms typically appear two to six weeks after exposure. Individuals with symptoms should call their healthcare provider and seek medical care. Most children less than 6 years of age do not experience symptoms. In 2006, the hepatitis A vaccine was added in the routine vaccination schedule for children 12-24 months. TLCHD is working closely with the restaurant and to eliminate any additional risk of exposure. The individual with hepatitis A infection is not currently working and is receiving medical care. Hepatitis A vaccine or immune globulin (IG) treatment may provide protection against the disease if given within two weeks of exposure. Anyone potentially exposed to hepatitis A should contact their healthcare provider to be assessed for vaccination or IG treatment. People who have had hepatitis A disease or have previously received two doses of the hepatitis A vaccine do not need to be vaccinated. The hepatitis A virus is most commonly spread from person to person by the fecal-oral route. Most infections result from contact with an infected household member or sex partners. Sometimes, infection results from food or drink that is contaminated with the virus. It is not spread through coughing or sneezing.

sonnel living quarter expenses.

An informational meeting to field questions about levies on the May ballot to help fund emergency medical service in Woodville Township is scheduled for May 2 at 7 p.m. at the fire station, 321 E. Main St., Woodville. Voters on May 8 will decide two millage issues: renewal of a 4-mill levy and additional 1.7-mills for the service. Both levies have five-year limits. The revenues pay for 24/7 paramedic service in the Village of Woodville and Woodville Township. Life Squad 91 last year responded to about 145 calls in the village and on average arrived on scene in 2 Â˝ minutes. In the township, the squad responded to about 115 calls with an average response time of 4.1 minutes. The township contracts with North Central EMS for personnel. Mike Tuttamore, a paramedic, said the personnel staffing the medic unit have about 120 years of combined experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the best when seconds count,â&#x20AC;? said Dan Liskai, a retired township trustee and Sandusky County commissioner who is chairman of the levy committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know the area; they know the people theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treating. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have that kind of family.â&#x20AC;? The 4-mill issue generates about $288,398 annually and the 1.7-mill levy is projected to generate about $138,968 a year. Those revenues cover the cost of vehicle and equipment maintenance and EMS peral signage, Ohio boating laws and more. Ohio Law requires any person born on or after Jan. 1, 1982, to show proof of successful completion of an approved boating safety education course if operating any watercraft powered by a 10 horsepower motor or greater.

Gibsonburg Voters in the Gibsonburg Exempted Village School District, will again see a request for an income tax on the ballot. The same tax request was rejected in the November 2017 election: 677 for to 759 against. The ballot language lists a 1 percent income tax but a current tax of 0.75 percent is slated to expire in December so the net increase will only be 0.25 per cent. According to district figures, the 0.75 percent issue collects about $800,000 annually. A 1 percent income tax is expected to generate about $1.2 million a year. The tax is levied on earned income. Social Security benefits, pensions, dividends, capital gains, and rental income are exempt. If passed, the new tax would be in effect for five years.

Oregon OKs sanitary sewer on S. Norden Road Oregon City Council at a recent meeting approved a resolution accepting a petition requesting the installation of a sanitary sewer on South Norden Road. The petition specifically seeks the improvement of South Norden Road from the centerline of Seaman Road southerly for a distance of approximately 1,213 feet to Wolf Creek by the installation of the sanitary sewer. The owners of 63 percent of the frontage of the lots and lands to be assessed for the improvement petitioned council. “The finance department received a petition for a sanitary sewer on Norden Road,” Finance Director Kathy Hufford said to council. “A property owner, Diana Fox, took out the petition and was able to get 63 percent of the frontage approving the petition. So we are submitting the petition on to council for acceptance. Then that would initiate the process of preparing the plan’s

It’s protection of Wolf Creek, which is an important creek that goes into Maumee Bay State Park.

“

“It’s protection of Wolf Creek, which is an important creek that goes into Maumee Bay State Park. I thank you for your service in doing this. I know it’s difficult with neighbors and can be quite controversial. But it’s a process that we’ve established here that I think works pretty well. I think the administration has got it down. I wish more waterfront communities and tributaries would find ways to establish and put sewers in, as well, especially when it’s available. Thank you for your hard work on this because I know it’s challenging.”

specifications and the estimates of costs.” Councilwoman Sandy Bihn said she appreciated the petition because the installation of sewers reduces the number of leaky septic systems draining into Lake Erie. Compromised septic systems is one of many sources of phosphorus and nutrients that fuel harmful algal blooms in the lake. “These are always great steps that help stay out of the septic system dilemma that people get into eventually, said Bihn, who is executive director of Lake Erie Waterkeeper.

Bacteria study Septic systems in the Wolf Creek watershed are particularly important to water quality, as Bihn noted, because the creek empties into Lake Erie at the Maumee Bay State Park. Tests have shown its waters have contributed to bacteria at the beaches of the park. Following an extensive study of bacteria in the bay, the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department found that bacteria levels coming out of Wolf Creek were substantially higher than smaller creeks that drain

into the bay. The outlet is a couple hundred yards from the beaches at Maumee Bay State Park. Health officials had concluded that Wolf Creek was the problem. As a result, Oregon constructed a number of sewer lines and replaced 600 septic systems with public sewers, which improved the bacteria levels at the beaches, according to the Health Department. There were about 300 houses in the watershed that have a quick route out to the beach that are still on septic systems, posing a continuing problem. Last year, for a limited time, the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG), the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department, and Oregon offered the 310 homeowners in Oregon and 90 in Jerusalem Township who live within the Wolf Creek Watershed a discount to have their septic tanks cleaned out. Oregon Public Service Director Paul Roman told The Press last week that the homes on S. Norden Road were among the group of homeowners that were offered the discount before they decided to petition for sewers.

Study

No decrease in phosphorus, nutrients into the lake By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com A recent study by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency showed that there has been no decrease in phosphorus and nutrients flowing from the Maumee River watershed into Lake Erie. The Ohio EPA recently completed its second statewide study to identify sources, and estimate the annual amount, of phosphorus and other nutrients flowing from the state’s watersheds into Lake Erie and the Ohio River. The study covers the Maumee, Sandusky, Portage, Vermilion, Cuyahoga, Great Miami, Scioto and Muskingum watersheds, and includes some direct tributaries to Lake Erie, which collectively represent surface water quality from 66 percent of the

entire state. The study examined phosphorus and other nutrients from agriculture and other nonpoint sources, municipal and industrial wastewater systems, as well as home sewage systems, which make up the majority of nutrient sources. The study showed there was no decrease in phosphorous or nutrient loading from the Maumee watershed to Lake Erie, which continues to exceed the 40 percent phosphorus reduction requirement. In fact, the phosphorus and nutrient loading from the Maumee Watershed to Lake Erie was at the highest level in 2017, more than in any previous years. In the Maumee watershed, 88 percent of the phosphorus contributed to Lake Erie is from nonpoint sources, including agriculture. Agricultural production dominates the landscape in this watershed.

Tougher measures State Rep. Michael Sheehy (D-Oregon) said the study shows that attempts to clean up the lake, including efforts to implement voluntary measures to encourage farmers to use caution when applying fertilizer, have not worked and that tougher measures need to be taken. “Any real solution at this point must go beyond simply asking these operations to make voluntary changes,” he continued. “It has been four years since Toledo lost access to clean drinking water. It is an untold triumph that when our region suffered a crisis, Lucas County communities responded with millions of dollars in new infrastructure investments designed to protect Lake Erie. Still, it’s our neighborhood that receives the blame. If we don’t stand behind our natural resources, we risk losing them forever to this devastating environmental crisis.”

Other findings The study also showed: •The Sandusky River and Muskingum River watersheds had substantial reductions in loading from industrial and municipal sources (point sources) over the five years of the study. •There was a 25 percent decrease in the phosphorus loads from 2013 to 2017 in the Sandusky River watershed. Ohio has spent more than $6 billion statewide, including more than $3 billion spent in the Lake Erie watershed to improve water quality since 2011 and to protect Lake Erie. The results of the study are key in assisting the state in identifying the most environmentally beneficial and cost-effective legislative, policy, and financial mechanisms to reduce phosphorus and nutrients impacting state waters, according to the Ohio EPA.

Land bank committed to razing 224 houses in eight months

Shantae Brownlee, vice president and director of community engagement, and David Mann, president of the Lucas County Land Bank, spoke at the East Toledo Club. At right, Toledo City Councilman Gary Johnson raises a question. (Press photos by Ken Grosjean) The wrecking balls, excavators, dump trucks and dumpsters are coming to East Toledo next month. The rats will scurry and the debris will pile up. Patience will be required, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all good. Property values will increase, squatter and drug houses will decrease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Demolition Mannâ&#x20AC;?, aka David Mann, president of the Lucas County Land Bank, spoke last week at the East Toledo Senior Center to inform East Toledoans that 224 houses will be razed and their sites leveled and cleaned up by January 31. Mannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation was sponsored by The East Toledo Club. Six private contractor and City of Toledo crews will be assigned to the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;05 starting in May. Mann said on average it takes a week to demolish a house and three weeks to remove the debris, level the site and reseed it. This concentrated demolition mirrors what was done in North Toledo last year where 386 homes have been razed since May. Prior to that, demolition crews were spread across all of Lucas County hampering efficiency as heavy equipment had to

by John Szozda be moved from neighborhood to neighborhood and crews lost productive time due to travel. The demolition effort is part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Project 2020,â&#x20AC;? a federal government initiative to counter the devastating effects of the mortgage crisis of 2007-2008, Mann said. The land bank secured a $29 million grant to demolish 2000 dilapidated houses in the county before the year 2020. Mann asks East Toledoans for patience. Rat traps will be set at each house, but rats are cunning and weather may delay crews from cleaning debris and reseeding sites. Shantae Brownlee, vice president and director of community engagement, said that by the end of January 521 houses will have been razed in East Toledo since 2012.

In addition, she said 69 homes have been sold to homeowners or landlords since 2011 and 26 more are currently listed or pending sale. The land bank acquires homes through tax foreclosures. When it buys a property, a technician evaluates the cost of rehabbing it, conducts a market analysis to determine what the home would be worth after investment and, if the numbers are right, hires a contractor to clean up the garbage and make the home acceptable for showing. If the numbers are not favorable for rehab, the property is put on the demolition list. Mann said prospective home owners, landlords and flippers must show they have the resources to rehab the property. The average price of such a home today is $2,000, while the average investment required to rehab it is $25,000. Purchasers are given deadlines to complete the project, usually three to six months, although in some instances, an extension can be granted. Brownlee added that the land bank maintains an interest in these properties until the rehab is finished according to agency standards.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the event that something happens where the individual canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet our standards, there are times when we may have to take a property back. We want to make sure that if we put that property into someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands that they actually do what they said they were going to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;East Toledo will be in a much better place than where we are as we stand here today.â&#x20AC;? Mann added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that people are not going to step up and invest in a neighborhood and homeowners, like you, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to stick around if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surrounding by really blighted properties.â&#x20AC;?

Levies vital to B-C-S To the editor: For nearly 50 years, I have been privileged to have lived in the BentonCarroll-Salem Local School District. Older folks like me will remember pre-DavisBesse times when the district occasionally closed all schools for lack of funds With help from Toledo Edison, we have enjoyed low tax rates, currently paying the 17th lowest of districts in Ohio. An extraordinary staff, administration and board have used funds wisely and our district educational results have been ranked in the top 5 percent of districts by the state. Now competition from lower cost natural gas and reduced labor requirements have significantly reduced electric generating costs and profits nationwide. This led Ohio to approve the devaluation of DavisBesse and phase out of the Public Utility Tangible Personal Property Tax. Result? The loss of nearly $6 million annually to the district. That is almost a 30 percent reduction, the most ever in Ohio. Why didn’t the board save up money during better financial times you might ask. Although the state has a “rainy day fund”, it does not allow local governments, including school districts, to do the same and closely regulates the type and amount of levies schools are allowed to submit to voters. Facing this unprecedented loss of funds, the B-C-S school board placed two new levies on the May 8 ballot. The first is a 3.89-mill property tax, which would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $136 annually. The second issue is a 1 percent earned income tax. The earned income tax will not be charged against Social Security, pensions, dividends, capital gains, or rental income. These levies are not your ordinary opportunity to criticize something or someone you don’t like or object in principle to higher taxes. Without this new money, the district will not be able to function. This decision will have a significant impact on our communities and our children’s and your own future. The district is not asking for anything more than what neighbors in other districts are already supporting. I encourage you to vote yes on both B-C-S school levies. You can vote early or arrange for absentee ballots at the Ottawa County Board of Elections office 8444 W. State Rt. 163. Need answers to your questions? Call the school board office (419898-6210).

Economic apartheid? To the editor: Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson’s recognizing that his employees would benefit from racial-bias education training is acknowledging that some managers are practitioners of economic apartheid due to their own personal biases. In this case, a white female manager acted on her bias concerning two black men and summoned the Philadelphia police - via a 911 call. My first suggestion – since I wasn’t there – is to have police officers request that the manager(s) call the corporate headquarters to verify what the corporate policy is for black men who aren’t patronizing customers. I realize this would be very time consuming and costly for a business. Yet, the two black men were “incarcerated”

Our family feels very fortunate and blessed to still have him with us and know whole-heartedly that the Woodville EMS played a key role in his survival and recovery. You never expect to have to use the EMS, but it’s a comforting feeling knowing it’s so close by when you need it most. Please vote yes for the Woodville EMS Levy.

Proud of parks To the editor: Let’s keep a good thing going. I have been a long time resident of Wood County and I’m very proud of our community and the surrounding areas. The Wood County Park District is a great benefit for all, providing the green space that is so important to us and our future generations. Through the passing of previous 10-year renewal levies, our parks have flourished and grown through the steady guidance of the Park Commissioners, our Director and a dedicated staff. We now have 20 parks since its beginning spanning Wood County. There are so many wonderful programs and activities for all ages to enjoy. It’s 2018 and it is time for our 10-year, 1-mill renewal levy to be on the ballot. Please show your support for our superb Wood County Park District by voting on May 8. Ranaye McLaughlin President, Friends of the Wood County Parks

The bottom line To the editor: I am writing to encourage voter support of the Gibsonburg School District’s 1 percent earned income levy proposal. The 1 percent proposal consists of a renewal of the voter approved 0.75 percent earned income tax and a new 0.25 percent earned income tax. Passage of the levy is necessary to off-

set more than $2.2 million in cuts by the State of Ohio over the last three years. The existing 0.75 percent income tax will expire in December of this year and the importance of its renewal can’t be overstated. The school board, administration and staff have not been idle as the state funding cuts were made. Annual operating expenses are now $700,000 lower than 2015 levels, saving the district more than $2 million over the past three years. The cuts required to absorb such a significant budget reduction were deep and impactful. The bottom line is that there is simply nothing left to cut without having a detrimental effect on the academic and personal success of district students. There has been much speculation and rumor about how new tax income from the Nexus pipeline will be the economic savior of the district. The estimates of pipeline tax income simply have not held true in Eastern Ohio, where the pipeline is already operating. In fact, most school districts in that area are receiving just a small percentage of the original estimates. The Gibsonburg district can’t operate successfully on speculation that they will receive significant new income at a future unknown time. The needs of the district are now. Steve Gruner Gibsonburg

EMS levy support urged To the editor: The Woodville Township EMS levy will be on the May 8 ballot, and we would urge any voter in Woodville and Woodville Township to vote “yes.” All of us hope we never need to use this service but the fast response of LS91 based in Woodville could save your life and/or the life of a member of your family. There is no charge for any resident of Woodville and Woodville Township, which is indeed a blessing.

Clay culinary student delivers tasty senior project By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Kaden Kim, a senior in Clay High School’s Culinary Arts program, was able to showcase his culinary passion and knowledge during a special lunch held in the school’s Golden Eagle Café, earlier this month. The 24 invited guests were able to taste a sample of Kim’s creativity through a menu the young man devised for his senior project. Kim led his classmates through the service, making sure all went smoothly for his senior project. “I think it went well, really well,” Kim said. “Not everything went as well as I thought it should in my mind, but I was very happy with it in the end.” The luncheon included soup, salad, a choice of entree and dessert. Some of the items are classics at the Golden Eagle Café. A couple of the items were researched and found in cookbooks and one of the entrees was created by Kim. “The soup, a tarragon velvet soup, was chef’s recipe,” Kim said. The guests had a choice of homemade Betty’s dressing or ranch dressing. The shrimp carbonara was a recipe I found, but the curried chicken with grits and asparagus was all mine. I really liked that dish and how it came out.” Kim, who is also the captain of the tennis team, said he started cooking as a young child. “I used to watch the people around me cook and I became interested,” Kim said. “I just started to try to cook and I just really liked it. I got my first job at Registry Bistro and I worked there for two years. I guess I got hooked.” Teacher Rob Parmalee, has taught at Clay for 22 years. Parmalee grew up in the business. His father Jerry Parmalee owned the Par 4 Restaurant on Ashland. Parmalee himself owned the former Parmalee’s American Restaurant in Maumee from 1991 to 1996. Parmalee said he has 13 students in his program this year. He is particularly thrilled to have a student like Kim, he said. “He has been in the program for three years, starting as a freshman,” Parmalee said. “He really has been a great and passionate student. He is probably one of the best to

Clay culinary student Kaden Kim in the kitchen with classmate Ashlyn Comer and instructor Robb Parmalee. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) come through here. He just gets food and his experience at Registry Bistro has taken his cooking and creativity up a notch.” Kim said he really likes to cook Korean foods, part of his ethnic background. “I like to cook with steak,” he said. “I like to make Bulgogi and Bibimbap the most.” For the uninitiated, Bulgogi, is a type of Korean barbecue. Bibimbap, is a Korean dish which literally means “mixed rice.” Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with sautéed and seasoned veg-

etables and gochujang, a chili pepper paste, and soy sauce. Sometimes a raw or fried egg and sliced beef are added. Kim will be taking a break from culinary arts this fall when he attends Owens Community College and studies business. “I plan on getting my associate’s degree and then going to the University of Toledo,” he said. “I will get my bachelor’s degree and then plan on law school.” Kim will keep at least one foot in the kitchen though. He is beginning a new job at

Hi-Flash Tavern in Curtice. He may also work at a senior citizen’s home in the near future. “I am exploring my options,” Kim said. “I still plan on having a food truck by the time I am 24 years old.” Parmalee said Kim will be awarded the Outstanding Culinary Senior award during the Senior Honors Night, Monday, May 14. The event, which will include, bacon wrapped scallops, oven browned cubed potatoes, dips, cheesecake, and cookies, will be catered by the culinary students.

There’s much wisdom in the adage, “drive defensively” By Ron Craig Crime Prevention Specialist, Community Policing Officer While the temperatures of late may not reflect it, the calendar says spring is here. And so, it’s time for youngsters to be out and about. According to statistics from the National Safe Kids Campaign, one in four youngsters age 14 and under will sustain an injury serious enough to require treatment at a hospital emergency department. Those statistics also show that 42 percent of all injury-related deaths of children occur between May and August. Children may not be mindful of safety

as they chase after balls and other items into streets. When that happens, we hope all drivers can see the youngsters and brake in time to avoid a tragic outcome. Each year, thousands of children are injured, or even worse, when they run into roadways without first looking to see if there are vehicles coming their way. It is little consolation to drivers that they may not be at fault when they hit children who dart into the street between parked cars. These situations are often preventable if children, their parents, and drivers take a few minutes to recognize the potential dangers of children playing near streets. Children should be taught never to run

into a street or roadway without looking both ways for traffic. They should be told retrieving a ball is not important enough to endanger themselves by running into traffic to fetch it. Kids, and particularly teens, can be playing handheld games or listening to music that can be distracting. Like distracted driving, this practice can lead to injuries because the youngsters may tend to look down, not where they are going. Kids on bikes, scooters, skates, and skateboards can pose another danger during the warmer months. They may be riding on streets and sidewalks, and drivers should be mindful of them,. Parents also need to talk to their kids

about how to properly cross a street, using crosswalks and waiting for traffic lights to turn green if there is one at an intersection. Teach by example and not cross a street in the middle of a block or against a traffic light. Drivers should always be on the lookout for children at play. Slow down and be ready to brake in case one runs into the street. There is much wisdom in the old adage, drive defensively. This article is a public service from the Crime Prevention Division of the Lake Township Police Department. Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Craig at 419-481-6354.

Stritch, Lourdes sign Catholic commitment agreement

GPA

Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School and Lourdes University made history April 12 when they signed a Catholic Commitment agreement. The Lourdes University Catholic Commitment program guarantees admission to promising students at select Catholic high schools in the region and nationally. “We are pleased to extend guaranteed admission to talented students from such a great high school as Cardinal Stritch,” Lourdes President Mary Ann Gawelek said. “This is an important step in strengthening the relationship Lourdes has with excellent Catholic high schools and academies who prepare graduates for college success.” “Cardinal Stritch is incredibly excited to partner with Lourdes University for this opportunity,” said Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School Principal Kevin Parkins. “Both institutions were founded by the Sylvania Franciscans sisters and are proud to be working together to strengthen the options for the students we serve.” To qualify, high school seniors must graduate with at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA. These students can also receive a Lourdes Scholarship ranging from $3,000 to $8,000 per year based on their GPA. An ACT or SAT score is not required to earn guaranteed admission. Parkins and Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School President Father Eric Schild joined Gawelek to officially sign the agreement.

Education

Penta students honored for Academic Achievement Penta Career Center held its annual Academic Achievement Award Ceremony April 18 on the school campus. Awards were presented to seniors who achieved excellence in their academic studies by maintaining a 3.25 grade point average for the first three quarters of the school year. During the ceremony, 155 students were recognized. Special guest speaker at the ceremony was Dr. Steve Robinson, president of Owens Community College. Award recipients received a pin and a certificate for their accomplishment. The award pins for the students were sponsored by Toledo Building Services. Honorees included: Lake: Alexander Bradfield, Advanced Manufacturing; Eian Cousino, Transition to Work; Nicholas Eye, Construction Masonry; Devin Hanely, Interactive Media; Alexis Hassall, Dental Assistant, Carley Kidd, Medical Technologies; Peyton Pope, Exercise Science & Sports Medicine; Samantha Swicegood, Medical Technologies; Chase Weber, Automotive Collision Repair, Lyndsi Ybarra, Automotive Technology. Northwood: Jessica Dombrowski, Public Safety/EMT-Fire Science; Collin Golden, Advanced Manufacturing; Kayla Ibarra, Construction Electricity; Alexis Lampros, Career-Based Intervention; Edna Tolliver, Transition to Work; Alejandro Villegas, Construction Carpentry; Mariah Vollmar, Small Animal Care.

Phi Kappa Phi inductee Elizabeth Thomlinson, of Martin, was initiated into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi at The University of Toledo. Lora Zatko of Elmore, was initiated into the Honor Society at the University of Michigan. Membership in Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines, is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Its mission is “To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.”

Genoa-Penta FFA achieves “Gold” For the first time in Genoa-Penta FFA

Student Stars history, the chapter has achieved the designation of National Gold-rated Chapter. Of 336 chapters in the state, 24 schools were rated Gold. The National Chapter Award Program is designed to recognize FFA chapters that actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization. In order to qualify for a state or national award, a chapter must complete at least 15 activities – one for each of the five quality standards in each of the three divisions. Additionally, the chapter must meet the minimum requirements as outlined in the National Quality Chapter Standards. To compete for state gold, silver or bronze awards, chapters must qualify for the superior chapter award and complete Form II, used to report goals, plans of action and results/evaluation on three activities for each division. State judges rank the chapters as gold, silver or bronze based on the rubric. Chapters receive a multi-year plaque and yearly plaque inserts, commonly known as spurs, specifying the level achieved each year. The state’s top three gold chapter award winners (or the number equal to 10 percent of the state’s total number of chapters, if that number is higher) are eligible to compete for the National FFA Star Chapter Awards. The Genoa-Penta FFA is eligible to compete for the National FFA star chapter award.

Terra dean’s list The following students were named to Terra State Community College’s Dean’s List for Fall 2017: Neil Sampson, of Toledo; Serena Ortiz, of Curtice; Ryan Sigurdson, of Genoa; Kristie Seem, Leann Widmer, Ryan Avers, Marcus Molina, Troy Ickes, of Gibsonburg; Jaime Roberts, Holly Walker, Frieda Fought, Mariah Kiser, of Helena; Serena Byington, of Oak Harbor ; Christopher Hilgeman, Jacob Siebenaler, of Woodville.

Help prepare students for end-of-the-year testing From the Association

American

Counseling

From elementary through high schools, our children are faced with tests meant to measure just how well the school year has gone. Schools need to know how much of the knowledge that was being handed out all year has managed to sink in. While most students may dread those end-of-year tests, most schools today recognize good testing as a means of improving their teaching. Once upon a time, schools and teachers might have used the “smile and file” approach with test results, handing out test results with a smile, then simply filing away and forgetting them. Educators today, however, use the test results as a measure of how well current education methods are actually working, and as a means to make changes for more effective teaching in the future. Testing may be a necessary and required end of year activity, but for too many students it produces lots of stress and anxiety. However, with a bit of planning, tests can be much easier to handle. A starting point is for students to have a clear understanding of what tests they’re facing and when they’re going to occur. Regular school year pop quizzes may be unexpected, but something as important as a final exam is never a surprise. When the test schedule is set, it’s time to plan. Which tests are going to

The

Counseling Corner present the biggest challenges? Those are the ones that deserve some extra studying time. This doesn’t mean pulling all-nighters and cramming, but instead starting days or even weeks ahead of time to re-read notes, review end of chapter summaries, to perhaps study with a friend, and even ask a teacher for extra help if some parts of the material are difficult or confusing. Teachers want to help. That’s why they often hand out study guides. Use them. Students also need to prepare physically and mentally for testing. This means eating right and avoiding sugary, junk foods. A healthy breakfast, avoiding highly caffeinated drinks, and getting a good night’s sleep before test day are all strategies to success. When a student enters a test well rested and having eaten well, it’s easier to feel relaxed and less anxious. If the test material has been studied calmly and carefully, then all that’s needed is a couple of deep breaths in order to calmly focus. The result will be less stress and better scores. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Inspirational Message of the Week: The Door is Open How many of us live in prisons of our own making? If you feel constrained by the circumstances of your life and yet those circumstances are largely your own creations, then you have indeed built yourself a prison. Henry David Thoreau writes about those who have “forged their own golden or silver fetters,”accumulating wealth and property to the point where they are literally enslaved to it. He reminds us that “A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.” And a man is free in the same proportion. The ultimate freedom is to have the liberty of mind and spirit to do as one would choose, free of duress or external control. Most adults live life

free of external control, and yet we feel constrained by the circumstances of our lives. We must toil and work like slaves because we have allowed materialism to become our master. We are slaves to our appetites and desires because we have allowed hedonism to become our master. And we are imprisoned by our own minds because we fail to see that there are other ways to think and live. The Sufi poet Rumi asks “Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?” The answer can only be that it is a prison of our own choosing. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1
