In February, a ruling by a Lucas County Court of Common Pleas judge in 2013 to reinstate the former fi re chief in Jerusalem Township after trustees fi red him was re-versed by Ohio’s Sixth District Court of Appeals.

The appellate court, consisting of Judges Mark L. Pietrykowski, Arlene Singer, and James D. Jenson, unanimously voted on Feb. 6 to uphold the trustees’ dis-missal of former Fire Chief Harold Stanton.

Stanton fi led an appeal of that decision with the Supreme Court of Ohio in March. On September 16, the high court decided to not accept the appeal for review.

In its ruling, the court simply wrote, “Upon consideration of the jurisdictional memoranda fi led in this case, the court de-clines to accept jurisdiction of the appeal.

The latest court action effectively ex-hausts all appeals in a case that has been active since 2013.

Stanton fi led a lawsuit against the township after trustees fi red him on March 19, 2013 for allegedly permitting an indi-vidual who was not a member of the fi re department to actively participate on emer-gency calls. Trustees initially suspended Stanton, who had been part-time fi re chief since 2008, then later decided to dismiss him following a hearing.

Trustees had stated in a letter to Stanton that they had repeatedly instruct-ed him to not permit individuals to assist in the fi re department during emergency situations unless they had been lawfully appointed Jerusalem Township fi refi ghters.

Stanton insisted he never had invited Jim Gray to fi re scenes and that he would just show up. He also said he had informed Gray in the past that trustees did not want him responding to calls.

Stanton believed his dismissal was politically motivated because Gray is the brother of former Trustee Joe Gray, with whom Kiss was often at odds when both served on the board of trustees.

Ohio Supreme Court upholdschief’s dismissal

By Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

The Sixth District Court of Appeals has unanimously dismissed a complaint by the Sandusky County prosecutor’s offi ce that challenged an appointment to a vacant seat on the Woodmore Board of Education. The court ruled the school board had followed state law when it selected Daniel Hoppe in May during a special meeting to fi ll a seat vacated by Grant Cummings, then the board vice president, who had resigned earlier that month. The prosecutor’s offi ce fi led its com-plaint June 11, arguing the Ohio Revised Code requires an appointment to be made by a probate court judge when a school board doesn’t act within a required time frame. The complaint asked that Hoppe prove he is rightfully a member of the board and, failing to do that, asked to remove him from the board. Board President Steve Huss applauded the decision. “The board felt that it acted properly by a majority vote within the 30-day pe-riod to appoint Dan Hoppe to fi ll the va-cancy,” he said in a prepared statement. On Thursday, he said the case “was a great injustice to district taxpayers, especially those in Sandusky County.” Hoppe said he was “…pleased to con-

tinue my role on the board of education. I volunteered to serve on the board to help advance the education of our children and I look forward to doing that.” The board met in a special meet-ing May 12 to interview fi ve candidates. However, three board members couldn’t agree on who should fi ll the vacant seat when they met during a regular meeting on May 19 – about 13 days after Cummings re-signed. Huss then scheduled a special meet-ing for May 31 and the members present, Corinna Bench, Julie Bowman, and Huss unanimously voted for Hoppe. Board member Joe Liszak decided to not attend the meeting, saying the board had missed the deadline set by state law to appoint someone to the vacant seat. At Liszak’s request, Norman Solze, an assistant prosecutor with the Sandusky County offi ce; Mark Mulligan, the Ottawa County prosecutor, and Jim Stucko, of a Columbus fi rm retained by the board, had offered interpretations of the statute. All said a board is required to fi ll a vacancy at its fi rst meeting – whether it’s a regular or special meeting - sometime between a 10-day waiting period after the vacancy occurs and a 30-day deadline from when the seat is vacated. Timothy McCarthy, an attorney with a Toledo law fi rm retained by the board, in a June 5 email to Thomas Stierwalt, county

prosecutor, said the prosecutor’s interpreta-tion of the relevant statutes is too strict. “A board of education has a window of opportunity that opens 10 days after a vacancy occurs and closes 30 days after a vacancy occurs in which it may select a successor to fi ll a vacancy,” the email said. “That successor can be selected in the “next regular” meeting of the board of education or in a “special” meeting of the board. If the board of education is unable to agree, by a majority vote, upon a successor during that time, the decision defaults to the probate court.” Solze on Thursday said with an elec-tion set for November for four seats on the board it would be pointless to appeal the decision. “The court basically said it was a dis-cretionary and not mandatory type of stat-ute,” he said. “So, as long as it was done within the 30 days it didn’t have to be done at the fi rst meeting.” Nine candidates are seeking seats on the board in November. Incumbents Huss, Hoppe and Julie Bowman are vying for three open seats along with challeng-ers Cara Brown, James Kamman, Kelly O’Connor, Samuel Preston and Sean Rizor. Incumbent Corinna Bench is the only candidate for the seat held by Grant Cummings with an unexpired term ending Dec. 31, 2017.

Court rules for trusteesruled in favor of Stanton, and ordered that he be reinstated as fi re chief.

Trustees in September, 2013 voted unanimously to appeal the court’s decision to reinstate Stanton to his former position.

Writing for the sixth district, Judge Singer noted that Stanton did not raise the issue of the private citizen investigation during an administrative appeal of his fi r-ing, though it was raised in a footnote con-tained in his brief to the trial judge.

Sanger also noted that the trial judge had erred by ruling that Stanton’s constitu-tional right to due process was violated be-cause the trustees served as investigators, prosecutors, witnesses and judges. “Once again, appellee did not raise a due process objection at the hearing, nor did he raise this issue on appeal to the trial court. This court has held that the waiver doctrine also applies when parties fail to raise due pro-cess objections in administrative hearings.”

On Mandros’ ruling that trustees had failed to comply with the township’s per-sonnel policies and procedures manual, specifi cally, the township’s progressive disciplinary policy, Sanger stated that the manual clearly states that discipline “may” be progressive.

“As the progressive discipline policy is not mandatory, we see no error in the trust-ees’ failure to abide by it,” stated Sanger.

“For the above reasons, we conclude

the trial court’s determination that the trustees’ termination process was proce-durally defective was not supported by a preponderance of reliable, probative or substantial evidence,” stated Sanger.

Trustee Joe Kiss said he was pleased by the high court’s current ruling.

“I’m just so happy this whole thing is fi nally over,” Kiss said. “It’s been a battle for three years now. It cost me three years of anxiety, worry and stress. I’m so happy that the trustees and fi re department can move on with our lives without this hanging over our heads.”

Stanton told The Press last week that although he has run out of appeals, he wanted to take the case as far as it would go for both fi re department personnel and the township citizens.

“It is depressing,” Stanton said. “I threw away money on an attorney because I was out to prove a point. There is noth-ing more to pursue. “Had we won in the supreme court, I would have fi led federal lawsuit. The supreme court decided not to take the case.”

Stanton is currently a fi refi ghter and technical rescue specialist with the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department. He worked for Ottawa Hills for 16 years, leaving the department as a captain.

He also teaches at Owens Community College and teaches special classes to fi re-fi ghters in the city as well as across the area.

“I got three federal grants for the town-ship during the time I was there,” Stanton said. “We were on our way to building an excellent fi re department. It is just a shame. I wanted to advance my fi refi ghters. Some of them have moved on to be professional fi refi ghters in other departments. Now that I think about it, the day I was fi red is one of the luckiest days I have had.”

The day will begin at 3 p.m. with a parade, starting at the Birmingham Branch Library, 203 Paine Avenue. Kids’ activities and “grape stomping” will follow.

Refi nancing a portion of its bond debt will save the Genoa Area Local School District approximately $221,990, according to the administration, which announced last week it had completed a refi nancing agreement. The debt was incurred to fi nance the district’s share of construction costs for the John C. Roberts Middle School building. “This savings will go directly to the district taxpayers,” Bill Nye, district trea-surer, said. “I’ll be meeting with the Ottawa County auditor to have the tax adjusted. This will effectively reduce taxpayer costs.” Voters in 1999 approved a bond levy to build the new school. The district also received a credit of $6.2 million from the Ohio School Facilities Commission for the project. The school opened in 2001. Nye said the new interest rate is 2.67 percent, compared to 4.13 percent the dis-

Genoa re-fi saves over $222,000trict had been paying on a balance of $2.45 million. The refi nancing package includes a 13-year maturity, he said. The district originally issued $3.96 million in bonds in 1999 for the project. The original issue was for 28 years. Nye said the district also took advan-tage of lowering debt payments in 2006 when it refi nanced the original bond issue. Because property tax bills are issued for the previous six months, Nye said he was uncertain if the lower amounts would be included in property owners’ January 2016 bills. The bond issue was also used to fund improvements to the cafeteria at the former Brunner School, renovations to a mainte-nance building and a parking area at the high school, and other improvements. Voters in November will decide a 3.9-mill levy renewal issue that is used to pay for operating expenses. That levy was originally passed in 2005, Nye said.

Oregon City Council on Monday agreed to pay $23,000 to Hull & Associates, Inc., to provide engineering design and to develop funding assistance for a proposed public boat launch in the city for access to Lake Erie. Council also agreed to pay $21,500 to Hull & Associates to provide conceptual designs for the city’s waterfront resources and possible funding partnerships. City offi cials and Hull & Associates discussed the boat launch and other poten-tial waterfront improvements at a Drainage, Roads, Buildings and Lands Committee meeting on Aug. 10. For years, the city has discussed the possibility of developing a public boat launch, though it has never materialized. “We get people inquiring about a boat launch all the time,” Mayor Mike Seferian told The Press before the meeting. Locating an appropriate site has been the biggest challenge. “You can put in a boat launch, dredge it out, but in the wrong area, in two or three months, it will silt up and you won’t be able to use it. So it has to be in an area where the currents are conducive to it be-ing practical. Otherwise, it would cost a lot of money constantly dredging it. We don’t want to be doing that. We want to put it in an area with minor maintenance,” he said. Currently, the city has a small boat launch off Bayshore Road for kayaks and canoes. For larger boats, Harbor View Yacht Club has a lift, but many people launch their boats at Cullen Park in Point Place. “You go to Ottawa River Road and get off the exit there. It’s not that far,” said Seferian. “There’s also a boat launch in Rossford that’s not that far, and there are some east of Oregon.” Hull & Associates is going to determine the “practicality” of developing a boat launch in Oregon. “That is the most key factor: How prac-tical is our ability to develop something in the waterfront property that we have,” Seferian said at the meeting. `Great opportunity’ Councilman Joshua Hughes, who is chairman of the Drainage, Roads, Buildings and Lands Committee, said he was pleased by Hull & Associates’s proposal. “I think it captures the desires of coun-cil and the administration. At the end of this study, we’ll have a better idea and un-derstanding of what we can do, where we can do it, and how we can pay for it. That’s the best way to describe where we’ll be at the end of this process. I’m very excited about it,” said Hughes. Administrator Mike Beazley said the fi rst ordinance addresses specifi c engineer-ing analysis on a passive boat launch, and the second ordinance focuses on more gen-

Oregon takes steps to develop boat launcheral opportunities for waterfront develop-ment. Councilman Tim Zale said he was also pleased by the possibility of waterfront de-velopment. “We’ve talked about this so much. I think this is going to be a great opportunity. I can’t wait to see what we come up with, particularly with the boat launch and other properties along Bayshore Road,” said Zale. “It’s time to move on this if we can. I’m just hoping they can fi nd a good plan for us.” Possible features of the project include three adjacent launch ramps with boarding docks for each ramp and possibly a small fi shing vessel dock and a fl oating dock to support canoe and kayak launches. Hull’s scope includes preliminary design activi-ties for adequate parking facilities, lighting, signage, and landscaping to support the launch ramps. Focus areas Three possible sites for the boat launch include: • Facility 3 and an existing boat launch area. Hull will evaluate options for active and passive recreation development that could include a fi shing pier and kayak launch, habitat restoration opportunities, transportation access - including access for emergency vehicles - and other potential

improvements; • James A. Haley Boardwalk and the former senior center property. Hull will evaluate options for lakefront property im-provements, including a potential fi shing pier, berms and breakwalls that could serve multiple purposes, kayak launch and hab-itat improvements. Hull will also evaluate options for reusing the former senior cen-ter, potential realignment of Bayshore Road at the property, amenities that are comple-mentary to the conservation easement at the property, and other active or passive amenities; • Embayment Area adjacent to the UT Lake Erie Center. Hull will evaluate op-tions to maximize the use of the property, which could include extending the storm sewer outfall, establishing a kayak launch, providing a dock for UT’s research vessel, establishing wetland habitat, and establish-ing additional active or passive amenities. Hull’s proposal is divided into fi ve ma-jor tasks: Property options and design con-siderations, surveying, preliminary design, determination of permitting requirements, and funding research/vetting and applica-tion preparation. Once the fi nal preliminary design is complete and approved by the city, Hull expects to seek state and federal funding for the project.

In a District 3 city council primary Tuesday, Peter J. Ujvagi and Glen Cook were chosen by East Toledo and Old South End voters to advance to the November 3 general election.

Ujvagi, a 69-year-old Democrat, fin-ished with 882 votes (46.6 percent) and Cook, a 73-year-old independent, garnered 558 (29.5 percent) in unofficial results released by the Lucas County Elections Board. Ernest D. McCarthy, a 73-year-old Republican, followed with 238 votes (12.6) and 20-year-old independent Robert James Worthington fi nished last with 213 (11.3). City wide, 9.1 percent of registered voters went to the polls. Ujvagi, of 124 Paine Ave. in East Toledo, is well-known in Toledo political circles, having served in the public sector since 1970. He is a University of Toledo graduate, majoring in economics and po-litical science. Ujvagi is currently chief of public policy and legislation and from 2010-13 was the Lucas County administra-tor. As an elected offi cial, he was an Ohio state representative for the 47th District from 2003-10, serving on committees for fi nance and appropriations, higher educa-tion, county and township government, municipal government and urban revital-ization and ways and means. Ujvagi was president of Toledo City Council from 1998-2002 and served three other teams on council (1993-98, 1985-89, 1981-83). From 1979-80, he was chairman of the President’s National Commission on Neighborhoods, from 1973-75 worked for the National Centers for Urban Ethnic

Affairs, based in Washington, D.C., as a fi eld director. From 197-72, he was with the Ohio Highway Department, serving in the real estate and appraisal division. In the private sector, Ujvagi was cus-tomer and business development manager at E & C Manufacturing, LLC from 2008-10 and was originally with the company dat-ing back to 1997. He was responsible for the company’s sales, estimating and bank relations from 1967-73 and from 1976-97. Cook, a U.S. Army veteran, previously lived in the south side of Toledo and at-tended Libbey, but has lived in East Toledo 30 years, moving here after getting married. From 2013 to present, he has been with JGM Valve in Commerce, Mich. He previ-ously was director of business develop-ment for the State of Ohio, tasked to grow the industrial market in northern Ohio and southern Michigan.

Cook graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education from The University of Toledo in 1970. He is a past board president of St. Peter and Paul Church and past board member of Lake Erie Academy School. Activities include serving on the community advisory panel for the Toledo Refi ning Company, a member of the East Toledo Club, he is involved with One Voice East Toledo, is a block watch captain for 410P in East Toledo, and a Lucas County Land Bank survey team volunteer.

Toledo decriminalizes marijuana Also passing by 11,261 (70.1 percent) to 4,797 (29.9) was city-wide Issue 1, titled “Sensible Marijuana Issue,” which “pro-tects citizens’ rights and saves taxpayer’s money by lowering the penalty for marijua-na to the lowest penalty allowed by state law.”


Because they sit just outside the village limits, Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko is ask-ing Lake Township trustees to consider de-claring two properties on Drouillard Road as nuisances. In a Sept. 10 letter to the trustees, Mayor Kolanko said village residents have approached him about the properties and “how they present an eyesore to both our communities.” The properties are located at 30854 and 30848 Drouillard Road. The mayor’s letter includes photos that

Nuisance properties a problem, mayor saysshow the houses with boarded up windows and doors, and overgrown weeds. “These properties are in severe ‘nui-sance’ condition,” the mayor writes. “I am sure you are aware of these properties, but wanted to bring to your attention as the se-verity, health hazard and blighting condi-tion only increase. The family who owns these properties also owns property in the Village of Walbridge. We are currently ad-dressing that property as a potential blight-ed/nuisance property. If needed, and with (village) council support, I will look for the property to be razed, removing the blight and increasing safety for the residents. ”I am asking for your time in review-ing the properties at 30854 and 30848

Drouillard Road. I feel you will share my concerns with the properties and will work towards a solution.” Jeff Pettit, who chairs the board of trustees, read the mayor’s letter during the trustees’ meeting on Tuesday. Bruce Moritz, township fi re chief, and Mark Hummer, township police chief/ad-ministrator, said the Ohio Revised Code provides the authority for a fi re chief to initiate the process to declare structures as nuisances. Hummer said he’ll ask the Wood County prosecutor’s offi ce to review those policies. “There is no sense re-inventing the wheel if we don’t have to,” he said.

Thanks to the settlement of a feder-al lawsuit, Toledo Public Schools’ repri-mands concerning lifelong Oregon resident and TPS employee Terrence Reeves have been removed from his fi le. The lawsuit stemmed from a front page article about Reeves, a Bowsher high school athletic director, published in The Press on March 17, 2014. Reeves spoke to Press contributing sportswriter Mark Griffi n, who wrote a front page feature headlined, “Councilman breaks up fi ght: Athletic director’s job description didn’t include this.” The issue — whether Reeve’s First Amendment rights were violated when TPS reprimanded him for not referring his comments to the communications offi ce fi rst. Those reprimands were dismissed in a settlement reached July 8, 2015 between TPS and the Toledo Federation of Teachers, the union that fi led the lawsuit.

“I’m very happy. I knew that it was go-ing to work out OK,” Reeves said.

Reeves, stressing that these are his view-points and not TPS’, added, “I wasn’t as mad at the district as I was at the policy. It’s noth-ing personal against anybody. People fought and died in wars to protect those rights that were being taken away from us.

“I’m happy for the people who are following years from now, so nobody else has to go through this. And, I’ll tell you, it worked on me for a long time, to be honest. I had some sleepless nights over it because you worry about what they are going to do because of these discipline sheets — they always claim that you get so many of them that they can take you to a hearing for the record and you can end up losing your job.”

Fight at basketball gameReeves, who is serving his fourth

term on Oregon City Council, is now in his seventh year as the athletic director at Bowsher. It started on Dec. 20, 2013, during the Rebels’ home boys’ basketball game against City League rival Scott, when Reeves saw a ruckus in the stands in the

Reeves off the hook after First Amendment settlement

third quarter and took action. In trying to break up the fi ght, Reeves,

56, tore a quad muscle that, at that moment, he said, “sounded just like a gun going off.” He was in a leg brace for weeks and received a steady dose of physical therapy.

Afterward, Reeves talked to Griffi n, and Griffi n wrote about the incident and also about Reeves’ contributions to youth athletics, his political career, and his days as an athlete. They spoke by phone while Reeves was at home.

The “green sheets”, or reprimands, from the Bowsher principal that followed were appealed to the board of education, which upheld the reprimand. However, the reprimands prompted the TFT to fi le the First Amendment lawsuit in U.S. District Court. Reeves said he also received support from the Ohio Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers.

The lawsuit drew attention to 48 al-legations, arguing that the policy was “an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech.”

An allegation in the complaint noted how most of the article published in The Press is about Reeves and not the fi ght.

“The article reports Reeves’ account of how he was injured on December 20, 2013.

“

“People fought and died in wars to

protect those rights that were being

taken away from us.

Terry Reeves

Reeves provides no information regarding the board’s response to that incident and he does not purport to make any offi cial statements on behalf of the board. Reeves spoke to the reporter as a private citizen, a member of Oregon city council and not as part of his offi cial duties for the board,” the complaint states.

“Only fi ve paragraphs of the 23-para-graph article mention the incident at Bowsher and Reeves’ injuries. The major-ity of the article recounts Reeves’ career in athletics and his role as an Oregon city councilman.”

Reeves said, “I would never, ever say anything bad about the district, but if I chose to say something bad about the dis-trict. I should have the right to do it because that’s my freedom of speech. And I wasn’t trying to badmouth Toledo Public Schools. I was just answering questions about my high school career — being an athlete, and being an athletic director and being on city council. It was more of a balancing act—how do you do it all?”

As an athlete, Reeves was inducted into the Cardinal Stritch Catholic Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012 along with the rest of the Cardinals’ 1975 state playoff football

team, coached by Tom Greer. Reeves was a three-year letterman in wrestling and a two-time state tournament qualifi er, win-ning a state title in 1976 and placing sixth at heavyweight as a senior in 1977.

Policy rewrittenIn the settlement, TPS agreed to re-

vise its media relations policy at its August board meeting. “Simply, our argument was that the board’s policy was overreaching and a violation of our members’ rights and their freedom of speech,” TFT President Kevin Dalton said. “Our attorney drafted policy for them to adopt in the event that the settlement went that way, and basically the way the settlement went is, they adopted our policy, which basically gave freedom of speech to our members and protects them. “The other result, which I’m even more excited about, is that all documentation or reprimands regarding Mr. Reeves have been removed from his fi le,” Dalton continued.

The agreement calls for TPS to place the “green sheets” regarding Reeves in a separate folder within the employee’s per-sonnel fi le along with a copy of the agree-ment. The agreement also states, “It is un-derstood that these green sheets will not be used in the future, or referred to, as prior acts of discipline or misconduct for Mr. Reeves and Mr. (Harold) Howell (another employee named in the lawsuit).”

Dalton said, “I’m encouraged that we were able to settle, that we were able to get the fi le cleaned up for Terry Reeves. I’m also disappointed, in my mind that we had to waste or spend resources to actually fi ght this topic because it was such a matter of his ability to speak that they were coun-tering and it should not have gone to this.

“There should have been more com-mon sense involved on the district’s part, however, we had to go down that route and I’m excited and encouraged that were able to adopt a drafted policy that fi xes and ad-dresses this issue and protects our mem-bers’ rights.”

The Press reached out to the TPS com-munications offi ce for comment, but Chief of Staff Brian Murphy did not respond by deadline.

nspirational essage of the eek: Hold Your Tongue

The Bible tells us that our tongue is a small member of

our body that can cause great damage. It compares it

to a small fire that can set a forest ablaze. In the Bible,

St. James tells us that if anyone can control their

tongue, it proves that they have perfect control over

themselves in every other way. He also tells us that

sometimes our tongue praises our Heavenly Father,

and sometimes it breaks out into curses against men

who are made like God. Holding our tongue is not

always an easy thing to do; however, we should try not

to speak badly or spread rumors about others.

Gossiping and spreading lies are not good and often

can prove quite harmful and hurtful. When we know of

someone who is constantly speaking badly of others,

we must realize that they are probably also rumoring

about us when we are not around. There is nothing

that reflects a person's character more than what they

say and the way they speak about others. A good

person is kind and truthful, and they can be trusted not

to speak of the faults of others. God wants us to live in

harmony with our friends and loved ones, and holding

our tongue will help us to develop a Godly relationship.

My brethren, this ought not to be so.

R.S.V. James 3:10

Do you look for the easier paths? Is good, good enough? Are you willing to settle for mediocre? Are you afraid to leave your comfort zone? Do you tend to choose the safe bet rather than take chances? A college professor wondered about the mindset of his students regarding what they would accept. Were they willing to work hard in order to get a good grade, or would a guaranteed lower grade be more appealing? The professor conducted an in-teresting experiment in one of his classes. The professor announced an upcom-ing diffi cult major exam. He reminded the students how important it was to put in enough study time so they were thoroughly prepared for the test. The professor under-scored the importance of having a personal standard of excellence. During his course, the professor had provided many true examples of what people accomplished when they worked toward high goals. The professor urged his students to never settle for just OK. He told them they could get whatever they wanted in life if they were willing to do the work required. On the day of the exam, just before handing out the exams, the professor made an interesting offer to his students. He gave each student a no-risk option of skipping the test and receiving an automatic ‘D’ as the test grade. All they had to do was raise their hand, their ‘D’ would be recorded, and they could leave. One by one, students

The easiest path isn’t necessarily the right one for you

raised their hands until about half the class had opted for the guaranteed ‘D.’ After all of the ‘D’ students had exited from the classroom, the professor praised the remaining students for not settling for a ‘D.’ He let them know how proud he was that they obviously felt prepared for the exam and were confi dent in their own abilities. The professor distributed the exams face down. He told his students that they had made the right decision and that if they incorporated the same strategy throughout their lives, they would always remain on the path to success. The professor then asked the students to turn over the exam and begin. On each exam was only one sentence; “Congratulations, your grade for this exam is ‘A.’ Although the students who had settled for the ‘D’ passed, there was certainly noth-ing exceptional about their accomplish-ments. They had taken the low risk, low reward path. What are your dreams, goals, and de-sires in life? As a young child you thought

anything was achievable. You fantasized about various possibilities for the future. Regardless of what it was, there were one or more exciting things you wanted to do or become when you grew up. What dreams have you pushed aside as being unrealistic, too risky, or too diffi cult? As you grow up you were faced with crit-ics, naysayers, and your own self-doubts. Did these negative infl uences cause you to relinquish any of your dreams? Did you convince yourself that it’s OK to settle for less than you really wanted? If so, you formulated numerous justifi cations for lowering your expectations. You ac-cepted good, as good enough. Life progresses much too quickly. You do yourself a disservice by settling for less than you really want. One good reason to succeed outweighs all the excuses for ac-cepting mediocrity. It doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do. It does mat-ter what you say to yourself, think about, and do. Set your sights high. Then put the ef-fort into taking the action required to move toward your objectives. Don’t wait for good things to happen, make them happen. Have worthwhile expectations for what you want to achieve. Don’t settle for the ‘D.”

There is no question that at some point every farmer in the history of agriculture has wished for the power to control the rain.

And, based on the terrible fl ooding that occurred around Ohio this summer from record setting rainfall amounts in some areas, there were many people out there hoping for the power to bring out the sun as well.

The wet weather caused serious prob-lems for agriculture this spring and early summer. Many corn and soybean fi elds in Ohio went unplanted because they were just too wet. Fields that were planted are suffering from disease problems, drowned out portions of fi elds and nutrient defi cien-cies in many areas of the state.

The Ohio wheat crop suffered yield loss and decreased quality for grain and straw due to the incessant rainfall, par-ticularly in northwest Ohio. And many of the poor farmers trying to make hay in between the never-ending rain showers are just about ready to give up. The fi rst cutting for the hay crop that is normally fi nished in early June has still not been completed in some areas, hurting both hay quantity and quality.

As frustrating as the weather (and the forecast) can be, I am glad that I am not the guy in charge of making the weather deci-sions. I explain why with this little poem I wrote a while back called “Jim’s Rainy Day” that may offer some perspective on Ohio’s soggy situation.

On e day a guy named Jim fi gured out how to control the rain.

Water-logged conditions swamped Ohio agriculture

He grinned with glee at his newfound pow-er. He fi gured the world he’d reign.He set up a business (that for a small fee) could bring you rain or shine.One week in his business boomed — things were working out fi ne.Farmer McGinty needed rain for his corn. Farmer Smith needed some sun.Betty Lou Harris had just planned a picnic and wanted guaranteed fun.With a tip of his cap and a wave of his hand, Jim made their wishes come true.That corn pollinated, the wheat harvest went well and the picnic skies were blue.

More farmers placed more orders. More events were planned. Jim was making big money — his business going grand.He could bring on the sun or precipitate, based upon a whim.To predict what the weather would do, the local weatherman would call Jim.But when farmer Smith wanted sunshine, Betty Lou’s roses would need water,And when Sally next door wanted a tan, the rain would be a bother.His phone was ringing off the hook. Farmer Smith yearned for a rainy day,

Despite the challenges Ohio has had with too much rain, this Fairfi eld County rain-bow reminds us there will be sunny days. (Photo courtesy of The Country Journal)

But farmer McGinty was getting ready to bale a fi eld of just dried hay.Jim’s rain caught a breeze and moved — the high dollar hay was spoiled,And then it fl ooded a newly dug basement where several workers toiled.The runaway cloud blew into town on a parade of elderly veterans and their wives.Mrs. McCallister ruined her perm and Miriam Whetherbee broke out in hives.Then that cloud fl ooded the streets and cars went hydroplaning,One car plowed through a storefront. Jim’s cloud just kept on raining. Finally Jim caught up to the cloud that had taken off in the breeze,With a tip of his cap and a wave of his hand he stopped the rain with ease.But for his runaway raincloud Jim was sued for everything under the sun,And soon enough he was penniless. His grand scheme was undone. That rainy day Jim learned his lesson: Managing weather’s not for the faint.Yes to be the guy controlling the rain is something I’m glad I ain’t.

Dunberger Color Guard seeks to bolster diminishing ranks Bob Helle carried a bullet for 70 years, too close to his heart and lungs to be re-moved. He acquired the souvenir on January 7, 1945 during The Battle of the Bulge, while serving as an infantryman under General George Patton. The bullet didn’t keep Bob from liv-ing a full life. He worked 39 years at the BP Refi nery, married and raised a family. It also didn’t keep him from doing what many of you remember him for, although you might not have known his name. Bob “Smoke” Helle was a charter mem-ber of the Christ Dunberger Post 537 Color Guard. The unit has performed at count-less funerals over the past 26 years and at community events for Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Bob was the one wearing his World War II uniform, which was a source of pride for him, according to son Jim Helle and daughter Susie Nissen. “I think he wore it because he could still fi t into and nobody else could fi t into theirs,” Susie said with a laugh. “He had a big heart and he felt it was his duty to honor veterans.” Jim Helle added that his father marched in events honoring veterans, even well into his 80s and even though he had the option to ride. “He would say, “As long as I can march, I’ll march. He always felt it was his duty.” Jim recalled the one Memorial Day in recent memory that his father did not wear his uniform. That was in 2014 when he was hospitalized. Jim said even then his father donned his hat and marched around the hallways. Bob Helle died August 30. He was 89. With his passing we lost one of the last vis-ible, walking reminders of World War II. We also lost another member of the diminishing ranks of the Dunberger Color Guard. Corky Walters, Post Commander, and acting Sergeant of the Color Guard, said the unit once had 30 members, but now the ranks number 23. The average age is in the mid-70s with a few members in their 80s. Andy Horvath and Chris Grevis are in their late 80s, Walters said. The reduced numbers make it a chal-lenge to fi eld a 17-member squad for the full-dress, military service at the graveside. The squad includes seven shooters who fi re three volleys, four who stand with the American and P.O.W. fl ags, two who fold the American fl ag draped on the casket and present it to the family, one who reads what the colors of the fl ag represent, a chaplain who leads a prayer, a bugler who plays Taps and a sergeant who directs the ceremony. “The fl ag folding and the playing of Taps is what bring the tears to the funeral,” Walters said. At times the squad numbers 15 or

16, due to illness or other commit-ments. That’s a workable num-ber, however, and doesn’t affect the quality of the sol-emn ceremony. But, if attrition continues, some of the men will have to do double duty and that would. The old soldiers move slower now than when they served their country and no one wants to turn this last honor into a farce. Walters said the squad could still per-form an honorable service with eight or nine vets, but it wouldn’t have the gravitas of the current service. The color guard performs at 40 to 50 funerals a year. Each funeral takes a six to seven hour commitment. Sometimes,

the heat is stifl ing, other times the cold is brutal. They stand through rain, snow and sleet. The guard used to travel throughout Northwest Ohio, but now it restricts its efforts to the Eastern Maumee Bay com-munities including Oregon, East Toledo, Walbridge and Lake Township. The busiest day is Memorial Day which traditionally starts at 7 a.m. with a fl ag rais-ing ceremony and breakfast served by the East Toledo Club. Then there are ceremo-nies at Willow, St. John’s, St. Ignatius and Oakwood cemeteries. All this is crammed into four hours and the men are free to spend the rest of the holiday with their families.

Given the time commitment and the advanced age of these veterans, you have to wonder if it is worth it. In addition to the funerals and community events, they fi nd time to practice close order drills and synchronized volleys. Walters said there is no question of the guard’s value. “So many times we’ve heard one of the family mem-bers say that they didn’t really want this, but they’ll say afterwards that it was awe-some. What a tribute to their Dad or their Grandfather, or whoever. It’s always posi-tive comments from the family and that makes us feel good, like we are doing some-thing that’s appreciated.” Donations cover expenses, so money is not the greatest need, it’s attracting fellow veterans who want to help honor those who served. Veterans interested in volunteering, or those who wish to make a donation, can contact Corky Walters at 419-704-8509. Comment by email at [email protected]

United Way grateful To the editor: It began with an idea brought to us by volunteer Ken Williams – “Let’s Golf across Ottawa County for United Way.” It concluded Sunday after-noon at the Catawba Island Club. Golfers played at Oak Harbor Golf Club, Sugar Creek Golf Course, Chippewa Golf Club and in the Finale at the Catawba Island Club. Thanks to staff and volunteers who organized and made this possible. Thanks to Marty Sutter and Rich Hillman of GenoaBank for bringing the four golf clubs to the initial planning meetings. A big thank you to United Way staff, Lisa Dubbert and Kristen Gerwin for coordinat-ing the venture. Thanks to volunteers Jim Deer, Donna Lueke, Gary Macko, Erica Nordlund and April Schalk. Thanks to the staff at each club who scored the tournaments and took care of the myriad details behind the scenes that make a golf tournament work. And, a fi nal thank you to the golfers.

Whether you golfed in one, two, three or four of the events, we couldn’t have done it without you. Chris Galvin Area Director, United Way in Ottawa County

Create new memories In regards to the letter about Pearson Metropark, “A Fun Place?” – the fi re in the cabin, ice skating on the pond, roller skat-ing, having picnics in the well-kept grass ar-eas, parking with your girlfriend and dances at the pavilion are wonderful past memo-ries. The park is still beautiful with tall prai-rie grasses, colorful wildfl owers, old growth trees and new wetlands. The fi shing pond, paddle boats, playground, sledding hill, window on wildlife, many trails, picnic areas, ball diamonds, fi elds for soccer, and

ample parking make Pearson Park one of the best. Wildlife thrives in the park. The “let-go grass” in certain spots give shelter and food to many animals. As far as “driving through and seeing no one there,” it’s not a park’s fault many people chose technology over nature. Drive through and look at all the beauty of nature that is there. A park doesn’t have to be overfl owing with people to be enjoyable. Look at what is there, not what used to be there. Create new, wonderful memories.Jean VrahiotesCurtice

There’s no shortage of frightening fi nancial news these days. A rapidly-declining stock market has sent all-too-memorable shivers down the spines of many investors. Wounds from 2008 just having healed, we’re forced to reconsider who we are as investors and what, if any-thing, we should do about the economic news and reduced account values that are front-and-center. Simply put, scary headlines are in-dicative of real challenges faced by the general economy and markets, of both the stock and bond variety. While we won’t go into specifi cs here, I do want to offer one word of advice: Plan. Develop a plan for yourself that refl ects your fi -nancial wishes that also incorporates certainties and guarantees that will al-low you to both sleep at night and pros-per regardless of whether markets go up or down. Yes, you can have both. This is one of those moments when your convictions will be challenged and your strategy will be stress-tested. However, if you don’t have a strategy or a plan, you’re simply hoping things go your way. You can do better. Imagine, for a moment, a mountain climber embarking on a climb up Everest without any pro-visions for obstacles he or she may face. Without factoring in contingencies and challenges to their pursuit, they’re dead, literally. Pursuing a retirement by invest-ing only for sunny days, you’re likely to be met with much surprise and disap-pointment. Perhaps you’re feeling that way right now. By creating a comprehensive fi nan-cial plan, you’ll equip yourself to weather the storms and endure harsh conditions like we see today, as you climb toward the pinnacle that you’ve pre-determined. Believe it or not, however, a scary time like this is precisely when investors

make money. Wait, what? Consider this: if there was no risk of loss present in your investment port-folio, then why would somebody pay you for the use of your money in the fi rst place? Why would somebody reward you if markets always went up in value? There simply wouldn’t be any reason to reward those who stayed the course and stuck it out, if periodic losses were elimi-nated. Anybody can look like a genius when times are good! If you’re invested in the stock and bond markets, then you should be pre-pared for fairly long periods of disappoint-ment. Why do we do this to ourselves? Because without warning, investors will begin regaining confi dence and markets will rise quietly, gradually, without fan-fare. And if you’re not participating, you

don’t get to win. It’s a game that is won by practicing behaviors that are opposite the masses. Think about that for a moment. That said, fi nancial headlines can be very helpful to an astute investor: when the headlines are scary, that’s what makes investing valuable. Conversely, when the headlines are touting easy money, guard your purses and wallets. Your strategy as an aspiring retiree should be to lock-in your retirement income, free of market risk. With the money left over, invest in a highly diversifi ed portfolio that allows you to win when markets rise, and win when markets fall. Yes, it’s two different fl avors of winning, but winning all the same. On a separate, but related topic, my least favorite part of parenting is disci-plining my children. My least favor-ite part of having been a child was be-ing disciplined. But you know what? I wouldn’t trade those lessons of disci-pline for anything; it made me a better person. Investing requires discipline and planning. It’s not always fun, it’s not sup-posed to be. If you build a solid plan, focus on the long term, and remain disciplined, you get to win. The alternative is to chase headlines, second-guess your game plan, and look back at missed opportunities and ask yourself: “What if I had planned better?” Adam Cufr, RICP®, a Northwood na-tive, is the owner of Fourth Dimension Financial Group, LLC in Perrysburg.

The Home Instead Senior Care® offi ce serving Greater Toledo area is launching a new campaign designed to make the com-munity more Alzheimer’s friendly. Through the Alzheimer’s Friendly Business program, the Home Instead Senior Care offi ce will provide free training to local businesses to help equip employ-ees with information and resources needed to welcome families who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. In a recent survey of Alzheimer’s care-givers, 74 percent reported that they and their loved ones have become more isolat-ed from the community as a result of the disease. Furthermore, 85 percent reported that they feel a reduced quality of life due to isolation. “For many caregivers, the unpredict-

cal businesses start working now to build Alzheimer’s friendly communities to better serve their customers with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.” Local businesses can work directly with the local Home Instead Senior Care offi ce to coordinate an in-person training. An inter-active, online version of the training also is available at AlzheimersFriendlyBusiness.com. Once the training is successfully completed, businesses will receive a win-dow cling with the Alzheimer’s Friendly Business designation. The designation will be valid for two years.

This fall, ease into retirementBy Erin ThompsonSocial Security Public Affairs Specialist

Sept. 23 marks the fi rst day of fall. During this season, many people refl ect on the gradual passing of time as green leaves turn gold and pine needles blanket lawns. You are also changing, and those golden years of retirement are one season closer. We want you to be as prepared as pos-sible, and making applying for retirement easy is one of Social Security’s top priorities. In fact, applying for retirement benefi ts has never been easier. You can do it all online. Unlike the leaves that take many weeks to change, you can complete Social Security’s online retirement application in as little as 15 minutes. Better yet, you can apply from the comfort of your home or offi ce. There’s no need to drive to a local Social Security of-fi ce or wait for an appointment with a Social Security representative. Simply go to www.socialsecurity.gov/retire/apply.html. Most of the time, after your online ap-plication is submitted, you’re done. There are no forms to sign, and we usually re-quire no additional documentation. Social Security will process your application and contact you if we need further information. Planning for retirement is much like prepar-ing for colder weather — you want to pro-tect yourself and your loved ones as best you can with the best resources possible. One important, but easy way to do this is to check your Social Security statement using your secure online my Social Security account. Set up your account easily by an-swering a few questions to prove your iden-tity. After you have an account, you can check your Statement anytime, day or night. Your Social Security Statement shows your lifetime earnings so you can make sure those records are correct. This way, you’ll know your retirement benefi t will be accurate. In addition, there are some useful things you can do with your personal my Social Security account, such as: • Get an estimate of your future ben-efi ts if you’re still working; • Print a letter with proof of your ben-efi ts if you currently receive them; and • Manage your benefi ts: • Change your address; • Start or change your direct deposit; • Get a replacement Medicare card; •Get a replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S for tax season. Beginning the season of retirement can be exciting and scary at the same time. At Social Security, we make it easier by pro-viding the tools and information you can use to help you make the best decision for you and then apply for benefi ts online.

WSOS, ProMedica team up As the ProMedica Memorial Hospital Mobile Meals program transitions to ad-dress other community hunger needs, cur-rent Mobile Meals customers are encour-aged to enroll in the Meals-on-Wheels pro-gram now through September 2015. ProMedica Memorial Hospital will transition its Mobile Meals program into a Food at Discharge program that will screen patients for food insecurity. The program will seek to identify patients who are food insecure and will link those patients with nutrition assistance. WSOS is pulling together partners, vol-unteers and resources to continue to pro-vide home-delivered meal services to those eligible Mobile Meals clients who choose to enroll in Meals-on-Wheels. Current Mobile Meals volunteers are also encouraged to continue their community service to local homebound residents through WSOS as Meals-on-Wheels volunteer drivers. “Meals-on-Wheels is a well-established program that provides more than 55,000

meals annually to homebound seniors,” WSOS Senior and Transportation Services Director Robin Richter said. “We encourage both Mobile Meals clients and volunteers to become part of our program and are glad to partner with Memorial Hospital to pro-vide nutrition for those in need.” The partnership of WSOS and ProMedica in the transition has allowed both organizations to more effectively ad-dress community hunger needs. The fi rst day of Meals-on-Wheels ser-vice for eligible Mobile Meals clients who enroll will be Sept. 28. More volunteer Meal Delivery Drivers are needed. All of the routes are in Fremont, and each route has about 10 stops. Volunteers will use their own ve-hicle and the route takes about an hour. Information and training sessions will take place Sept. 25, 9-11 a.m. or 1:30-3:30 p.m. at the Stricker Family Development Center at 765 S. Buchanan Avenue. Those interested in volunteering should RSVP and attend one of these sessions.

Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on August 17 on a bicycle ride around the pe-rimeter of the United States in an effort to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children. Here are two excerpts from his blog, which you can follow by going to presspub-lications.com and clicking on the icon on the upper right:

Hello All -

Eleven hundred miles gone by. Made the 1,000 milestone a couple of days ago. I fi nished the fi rst leg of my journey this morning, pedaling in the mist and rain to Portland, Maine — and that does rhyme. By comparison, in 1985 when I rode to New York, it was 750 miles in 9 days, but this route has taken me much farther north fol-lowing closer to the perimeter of the coun-try, in addition to some volunteer days in Buffalo and Cleveland, and a much needed rest day in Burlington, VT. I left Toledo four weeks ago tomorrow - how to sum up this last month? A strug-gle, physical and mental, in equal parts I think. Pulling away from my sister’s house on August 17, I had doubts about making it to Cleveland — then the Pennsylvania border, and the long ride across New York ending with the Adirondacks, and the mountainous terrain of Vermont and New Hampshire. But I’ve just kept pedaling, one rotation at a time. Try not to think too far ahead - just make it to the top of that next hill, and then decide what’s next. I’ve had some very good riding days with the wind at my back, comfortable tem-peratures and the sun brightening the land-scape. And then, some not so good riding days with unending hills, humid and thick air made more so by a now indifferent sun. And then...there have been two times with-in the last week, covered in layers of sweat, daylight fading, and not a campground, mo-tel, or Warm Showers host nearby. So what to do to fi nd a place to be for the night; a place to lay a weary head? Improvise before the sun retires — fi nd a place out of sight,

out of mind to pitch the tent. One night it was a secluded hydroelectric station with the sound of rushing water, and last night it was a rural business with a nice green space that gave me the OK.

ing that historic waterway on a bright and breezy morning stays with me. Just to the north of our crossing route that morning lay Valcour Island where in 1776 an American commander led a rag-tag colonial fl eet in a naval engagement against a superior British squadron in an effort to delay their advance

out of Canada. A year later that same com-mander, one of the best battlefi eld gener-als in the Continental Army, led a charge at the Battle of Saratoga that won the battle--considered to be the turning point of the American Revolution. His name — Benedict Arnold. I’ve done a bit of climbing these last couple of weeks, and I’m happy to say I made it over the Appalachians. It’s a physi-cal challenge and sometimes my heart sinks a bit when I see an especially steep grade ahead. But with the proper gears and mindset, you just keep pushing those ped-als until you are slowly up and over. Just a note of special thanks and appre-ciation for all of your donations to Habitat For Humanity and Save The Children in support of my ride. It means a great deal to me and encourages me to keep on and to feel that my efforts are paying off for these two charities. Hoping to work a day here in Portland with Habitat For Humanity, and then turn southward to begin a meander down the eastern seaboard, Florida bound.

Proceeding On,

Al Thompson

Raising awareness key to prevent older adult falls

One in three Ohioans over age 60 will fall this year, and for many of them, that fall could lead to a life-changing injury. However, falls are not a normal part of ag-ing, and most falls can be prevented. To celebrate National Falls Prevention Awareness Day on Sept. 23 and to raise awareness of the many things our elders can do to minimize their risks, the STEADY U Ohio initiative is asking all Ohioans to help take “10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls” throughout September. “Regular physical activity, like walk-ing 15-30 minutes a day, strengthens mus-cles, improves balance and increases stam-ina, and is one of the most basic things you can do to reduce your risk of falling.” said Bonnie K. Burman, director of the Ohio Department of Aging, which operates the STEADY U Ohio initiative. “We want all Ohioans to know about the little changes we all can make to our homes, health and habits that will help us and our loved ones stay on our feet.” “10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls” is a statewide campaign to get as many Ohioans of all ages as possible to walk at least one mile on or around Sept. 23 in the name of falls prevention. Any time in September, take a one-mile walk alone or with family or friends, and post a selfi e of your efforts to social media using the hashtags #PreventFalls and #10MStepsOH. Posts will be counted toward the state’s goal. Director Burman also challenges all Ohioans who care for or serve individu-als who are unable to walk on their own to participate in “10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls” on their behalf. “Whether you’re a caregiver or a case worker, nurse’s assistant or head of nurs-ing, falls prevention should be a big part of what you do every day,” Burman added. “You can join the cause and create a culture of falls prevention by fi guratively walking a mile in their shoes.” Individuals participating in “10 Million Steps to Prevent Falls” on an-other’s behalf should include the hashtag #MileInTheirShoes to their social media posts. Visit www.steadyu.ohio.gov for falls-prevention tips and resources. While there, take an online falls risk assessment and learn about “A Matter of Balance,” a community-based falls prevention program available in all 88 Ohio counties.

It’s fl u shot timeFrom the Sandusky County Health Department

Infl uenza season is rapidly approach-ing. It is time now to plan for getting your family’s annual fl u shots. The optimal time for receiving a fl u shot is mid-October through November, however, physicians may choose to im-munize high risk children beginning in September. Infl uenza is a respiratory illness, char-acterized by headache, fever, cough and body aches. Generally fl u season lasts from November through May, with the peak oc-curring in February. Protection from the fl u vaccine peaks two weeks after vaccination and will di-minish over the course of six months, thus the reason for needing yearly boosters. The infl uenza vaccine is recommend-ed for all persons age 6 months and up. Children ages 6 months to 9 years who have not been previously vaccinated need two doses of vaccine. For previously vac-cinated children, only one dose (beginning in mid-October) is needed. Besides chil-dren 9 and under that need one dose, only one vaccine is needed for each fl u season. There is no need for booster doses through-out the fl u season. In addition to vaccination, the best ways to prevent the fl u, and the spread of fl u, are to wash your hands frequently, cov-er your cough, avoid crowded situations during peak fl u season, and stay home if you are ill. Sandusky County Health Department will begin their infl uenza vaccine cam-paign on Sept. 23 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., with a clinic at the Sandusky County Health Department. No appointment is necessary. For more information, and for addition-al clinic times, go to www.alwayschooseh-ealth.com, or fi nd Sandusky County Health Department on Facebook and Twitter.

Mercy is making advancements in the care and treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds as well as other injuries that can af-fect the viability of one’s body and systems. For many years, Mercy St. Charles Hospital and Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center had been fi rmly embedded in com-prehensive treatment of chronic wounds with their respective Wound Care Centers. The recent integration of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy into the overall treatment armamentarium has further enhanced the ability to heal wounds in an effective, effi -cient and timely manner, which goes a long way in limb preservation from the ravages of such disease entities as diabetes and vas-cular disease. Consider how diabetes alone has im-pacted our society: • 29 million people suffer from diabe-tes in this country; roughly 9.5 percent of the population. The number of individu-als affected by this disease is expected to rise approximately 2 percent each year over next decade. • 6.7 million individuals suffer from some form of chronic non-healing wounds. • 2.5 million individuals, 75 years of age and older, will acquire a pressure ulcer each year. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves the introduction of 100 per-

cent oxygen into an enclosed space, the Hyperbaric Chamber, under pressure two

to three times greater than the surround-ing air we typically breathe. The patient

breathes the concentrated, pressurized ox-ygen, which then can infi ltrate the tissues and cells causing a number of benefi cial responses by the body including growth of new blood vessels, destruction of bacteria, and delivering badly needed oxygen to sur-rounding tissues outside the vessels to en-hance and accelerate healing. While diabetes is the biggest offender when it comes to chronic, non-healing wounds, other diseases and conditions can contribute heavily to the “wounded patient” population. Examples would in-clude acute (sudden) arterial occlusion, osteomyelitis (bone infection) which hasn’t responded to conventional antibiotic ther-apy, tissue/bone necrosis (injury/death) from the late effects of radiation therapy in the treatment of many cancers, pressure ul-cers and crush injuries, to name just a few. The hyperbaric chambers at Mercy St. Charles Hospital are currently fully opera-tional and available for treating patients. Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center cham-bers will be installed and operational on or about Oct.1. Integrating Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with the already-established wound care expertise of the center physi-cians and staff at Mercy St. Charles Hospital and Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center of-fers a “one-two” punch in the treatment, and healing, of chronic wounds.

Thus far, Genoa and Woodmore foot-ball haven’t seen their seasons go as well as hoped. The Comets, who have faced three potential playoff teams, started 0-3 after losing a ton of talent to graduation, and the Wildcats are 1-2, with their losses having come against teams — Port Clinton and Swanton — who started with a combined 5-1 record. Genoa’s three opponents, mean-while, started with a combined record of 7-2. Despite being without a win, the Comets have competed in every game. Against Oak Harbor, they led, 8-7, well into the fourth quarter, they trailed Perkins by just 13 points at halftime in their 34-0 loss to the Pirates and trailed Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph 12-7 at halftime of the opener. Over the last eight years, Genoa estab-lished itself as one of the better programs in the state. During that span, the Comets advanced to the playoffs each year, won six league titles and one regional champion-ship while putting together several teams that many believed had the potential to win a state title. Second-year coach Paul Patterson, who won two state championships as an assistant with Toledo Central Catholic (2006, ’12) and one as a player at Canton Central Catholic (’88), served as an assis-tant for two years under former Genoa coach Tim Spiess before taking over last year. In his first year, Genoa went 8-3 and lost a heartbreaker in the first round of the playoffs to Wauseon, 9-7. During the offseason, the Comets changed their offense from the Wing-T to more of a spread, but one that still uses a lot of running concepts. But that hasn’t held Genoa back so much as their mistakes have. In the loss to Perkins, the Comets accu-mulated only 143 yards of total offense and turned the ball over twice. On top of that, Genoa’s defense allowed three huge plays that resulted in touchdowns — a 41-yard touchdown run and two scoring passes of 74 and 87 yards, respectively. Against Oak Harbor, Genoa fresh-man quarterback Jacob Plantz threw an interception that was returned by Caleb Oberther 25 yards for a touchdown in the closing minutes, effectively ending the game. The Comets also had four turnovers and fumbled the ball six times, losing two. “The players have learned from their mistakes and we continue to look to improve on a daily basis,” said Patterson. “They continue to give us great effort and they understand that hard work and each player doing their job will help rectify some of our problems. “We continue to find ways to try to mold our offense to the strengths of our players this season. The players have adjusted to working out of some spread formations, but we continue to use some of the principles of the Wing-T offense.” Woodmore is coming off an 0-10 sea-

son in Brian Spicer’s first year at the helm. In his second year, things already look better after the team’s 29-28 victory over Toledo Christian in overtime, one that saw 6-foot-1, 195 pound senior QB Connor Bringman have a hand in all of Woodmore’s four touchdowns. The win broke a 12-game losing streak, Bringman, a three-sport star who also excels at baseball and basketball, says the victory over the Eagles brought the team confidence. “It was huge. As any person with any type of sporting experience would tell you, the ability to close and finally get a win after going over a year without a victory is more of a hill to get over than simply playing a well-rounded game, and there is (also) a mental road block,” Bringman said. “The ability to get a hard-fought win takes the weight of the ‘streak’ off the team’s shoulders and just allows us to play football to the best of our ability. Not to mention after a young team realizes they can win, the focus and intensity improves by leaps and bounds.” Some will say that Oak Harbor is Genoa’s true rival, but those two teams don’t play in the same conference. While Northern Buckeye Conference foes Eastwood and Genoa have had some great battles in recent years, there’s no deny-ing the close proximity of the two towns, Elmore and Genoa, which are located less than five miles apart. “I would say they are (our biggest rival),” Bringman said. “Part of it is obvi-ously proximity. Since most students were young, they have grown up either in pre-school with one another, go to church with one another, or simply have played against each other since we started in sports. It is a

rivalry that has always been there that we did not create, but were brought up in the midst of.” The Wildcats last won a game in the series eight years ago when they defeated the Comets, 25-14. During that span, the Comets have dominated the series, win-ning no game by fewer than 36 points. The scores have been as follows: 49-13, 88-14, 59-21, 59-6, 57-0, 55-0, 63-12, 40-13. Patterson knows that his players will have to keep Bringman in check if they’re to continue the streak. “Connor is a good high school quar-terback and we will have a game plan in place to defend against his strengths. He is a good athlete and he can really throw the ball around,” Patterson said. “He produced some good numbers last year, and in order to defeat Woodmore this year, we will have to limit the big plays.” Bringman believes a Woodmore win over Genoa would bring even more confi-dence back. He believes the football pro-gram has once again turned a corner and is

heading back into the right direction. “And looking even further forward, we have a large amount of young players get-ting playing time now that will shape them into dominant players,” Bringman said. “I also got to visit the junior high and youth programs this summer (and) the players work very hard and have a lot of talent at all levels. ”

FREET-SHIRTS

By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]

The law of averages is going to catch up with Gibsonburg senior receiver Erik Jahna sooner or later, but he doesn’t mind riding his current touchdown-to-catch ratio for a while.

A year ago, the 5-foot-9, 155-pound Jahna caught 16 passes for 479 yards and nine touchdowns. Through three games this season, Jahna has eight receptions for 271 yards (33.9 average) and three touch-downs. That means that in the Golden Bears’ last 13 games, 12 of Jahna’s 24 recep-tions have gone for touchdowns.

“It all starts from practice, practicing basic moves on getting open and making sure the timing is right with our quarter-back and we are on point,” Jahna said. “It starts up front with our offensive line and getting our quarterback enough time and getting a good enough pocket to step into to get a good throw.”

Last Friday, Jahna caught four passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns – in-cluding a 91-yarder - in a 42-14 win over Fremont St. Joseph. Quarterback Ryan Clark completed 10 of 24 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns.

This Friday, the Bears (3-0) prepared for a rematch with Toledo Area Athletic Conference rival Northwood (0-3), which handed Gibsonburg its lone loss last season (21-13). The Bears opened 2015 with a 34-13 win over Elmwood, followed by a 48-0 rout of Lakota and the win over St. Joe.

The loss to Northwood in Week 9 last season pretty much kept Gibsonburg out of the state playoffs. The Bears were the only 9-1 team in Ohio to not qualify for the post-season.

“It was pretty disappointing last year,” Jahna said. “It hit us all hard when we real-

34 yards per catch

Deep threat

ized our hopes (of qualifying) were slim to none. Some of the guys talk about it this year, to make sure we take care of business and make it this year. It would mean a lot for this year’s team to see success like we did last year. I think it’s what we need, and if we work hard enough we can accomplish it.”

Gibsonburg coach Steve Reser has plenty of good things to say about Jahna’s ability as a competitor and as a team leader. A four-year letterman, Jahna has a 3.6 GPA and “never complains,” according to Reser.

“He is a tough player,” the coach said. “He has really worked on his hand-eye co-ordination and his route running. As he continues to come full circle, we expect big things out of him as our X receiver. He un-derstands the game, uses his skills to put himself in the best possible situations, and he has great speed and hands.”

Jahna, who competes on the track team in all three relay events, said he mainly re-lies on his speed to do the most damage to opposing secondaries.

“I’m around a 4.6,” he said of the 40-yard dash. “We’re more of a 60-40 team in favor of the run, and then we work our

way to the pass. The running game is look-ing strong. I like what our line is doing up front, giving us a lot of time and hitting their blocks and reading their keys.

“Personally, I was expecting to win the fi rst couple games but not by as much as we have. I’m proud of what we’ve done so far. I like how our offense is set up right now. It’s working, and I’m kind of superstitious about stuff like that.”

Jahna has returned one punt (for 15 yards) this season and he can also return kicks. His primary role, however, is to keep defenses honest. If the defensive backs fo-cus too much on Gibsonburg’s backfi eld, the next thing they’ll see is Jahna running by them.

“Erik is our guy who stretches the fi eld,” Reser said. “As he continues to con-tribute, we feel teams will have to respect him on the back side. His deep-threat abili-ty gives us a chance to have numbers across the board as more safeties roll to his single-receiver side of the fi eld. With another year under his belt, as a senior he has taken on a bigger role as both a player and a leader.”

After graduating, Jahna said he plans to do an apprenticeship to become a line-

man for an electric company, such as Toledo Edison.

“It just seems interesting to me,” he said. “It’s something I’ve been interested in. My dad (Eddie) is a tree trimmer, which is similar to it, so I’ve always been around that kind of stuff.”

“Erik has a huge upside,” Reser said. “He’s a great kid with a great personality. He works hard in the classroom, on the fi eld and in the weight room. It has been a pleasure to watch him mature through the last four years.” “We defi nitely expected to be competi-tive, but I don’t know if we expected to win by this much. After last year’s season was over and we lost a valuable group of se-niors, we knew we were going to have some new bodies on the fi eld, but we also felt like we had some bodies that could keep us just as competitive as we were last year. That was our hope,” Reser said. “We’re defi nitely good with what we have done so far, but now the challenge is to keep working. We’ve played well, but we don’t think we are as good as we could be right now.”

In my opinion, this is a

smack at the environment.

Center. (Press photos by Ken Grosjean)

Press Staff Writer

[email protected]

Robert James Worthington, a 20-year-

old independent in Tuesday’s District 3 city

council primary election, says he doesn’t

want to be considered a “politician,” but a

“public servant.” His idea caught on.

Democratic candidate Peter J. Ujvagi,

66, admitted to about 60 guests at a forum

Wednesday night he believes all four candi-

dates have similar intentions.

“I really do believe that all four of us

would be like to be public servants, not poli-

ticians,” Ujvagi said. “A few times I’ve paid

the price for this, but it’s why I’ve done this

all my life. I believe I can still contribute. I

believe I have the energy and the passion.

We can do this together. No elected offi -

cial can say, ‘I can solve that for you on my

own.’” Worthington, Ujvagi, Republican Ernest

D. McCarthy, 73, and independent Glen

Cook, 73, all had an opportunity to respond

to questions at the forum, which was hosted

by the East Toledo Club and One Voice for

East Toledo at the East Toledo Senior Center.

Press General Manager John Szozda moder-

ated. The top two vote getters in Tuesday’s

primary will advance to the general election

on November 3. The winner will take the

seat held by Mike Craig, who is term-limit-

ed. If there was anything else all four agreed

on, it was that they are prepared to hold ir-

responsible absentee landlords accountable.

Most of the fi rst half hour was spent an-

swering questions about housing and prop-

erty issues, like evicted renters leaving fur-

niture in the yard and nobody bothering to

pick it up. “Part of the solution is the neighbor-

hood itself,” McCarthy said. “If the neigh-

bors would call, it would help a lot. Part

of the problem is that the landlord says,

‘Nobody told us that was there.’ We want to

make it a little more oriented toward those

landlords — those landlords who are there

to collect the rent and do not do much else.”

Cook responded, “This absentee land-

lord thing defi nitely has to stop. I know this

is a diffi cult thing to stop, but people pick

up 40 to 50 homes and then they let them

go. It’s just a lack of administration by the

city and we can’t renew our neighborhoods

if we allow this.” Ujvagi suggested recognizing the good

landlords as well as the bad landlords,

saying that will provide encouragement

Candidates vow to get after absentee landlords


About 75 persons involved in agri-

culture were warned Wednesday to brace

themselves for their property tax bills in

2016. “You’re getting sticker shock today,”

Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez, told

the growers during a town hall meeting

held at the Oregon Municipal Complex to

explain changes in the Current Agricultural

Use Valuation property tax program. “We

don’t want you to get it when you get your

January bill.” In 2015, fi ve counties, including

Sandusky County, are going through a sex-

ennial reappraisal and 19, including Lucas

and Ottawa counties, are undergoing a

triennial update of their property valua-

tions. Although data used by the Ohio

Department of Taxation in the CAUV for-

mula indicate that farmers in the past two

years on average have realized lower prices

Brace for “sticker shock,” farmers told

for corn, wheat and soybeans, property

taxes for farmland enrolled in CAUV are

expected to rise signifi cantly.

CAUV values are based on a formula

of fi ve factors applied to those grain types:

• Crop prices based on a survey by the

National Agriculture Statistics Service of

grain elevators in Ohio.

• Crop yields based on per-acre yield esti-

mates for each soil type.

• Cropping patterns based on acreage of

corn, beans and wheat.

• Non-land production costs based on farm-

er surveys by The Ohio State University.

• Capitalization rate based on the inter-

est rate for a 15-year fi xed rate mortgage at

Farm Credit Services, with a portion attrib-

uted each to equity and debt.

Rick Hoffman, an attorney with Local

Government Services, told the crowd the

factors are used in a formula to determine

the net profi t per acre of soil type. That fi g-

ure is divided by the capitalization rate to

determine the fi nal value. The calculation

is performed for each of the 3,514 soil types

in Ohio. For the second consecutive year, the

prices for corn, beans and wheat used in

the formula are lower than the prior year.

The price for corn that came into the for-

mula for 2014 is $3.65 a bushel, compared

to $4.41 for 2013. Soybeans had a drop

from $13 to $10.40 and wheat dropped

from $6.54 to $5.55.

But because the CAUV formula uses a

seven-year rolling average, with the high-

Title still up for grabs,coach warnsBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

After a 3-0 start and shutting out all three opponents, Lake coach Mark Emans likes the intelligence he’s seen on the grid-iron this season.

His Flyers were ranked tenth in the fi rst Associated Press Division V football poll. “I’m pleased not only with winning, but also the direction we are going,” Emans said. “We haven’t had a lot of penalties and we haven’t had a lot of turnovers, so those things are very pleasing so far.”

In three games, Lake has outscored op-ponents by a combined score of 141-0. The three shutouts include a 45-0 pasting over previously unbeaten Archbold. The Blue Streaks were an annual Northwest Ohio Athletic League opponent during Emans’ coaching days at Wauseon, but they are a different animal than former NWOAL member Montpelier is, a team the Flyers routed, 47-0, in their opener.

Emans said that the contest against Archbold was likely to be his team’s biggest test to date, and he said the Blue Streaks did “some good things” in a scrimmage against Northern Buckeye Conference per-ennial contender Eastwood.

Emans knew the Blue Streaks were “going to throw the ball exclusively,” add-ing that they might “chuck it up 40 times so we’re really going to have to ‘amp’ up our pass defense.’” Sure enough, his team was

up to the task, holding the high-powered Archbold offense to under 150 total yards.

Emans is also proud of how his junior quarterback Jacob Rettig has lived up to his billing, having to follow in the footsteps of his signal-calling brother, Jared Rettig, who graduated last year after rewriting the school’s record book in passing categories. Emans says Jake brings something differ-ent, which he demonstrated in a 45-yard touchdown run against Archbold. “The biggest problem in general is people are comparing him to a brother, and that is unfair to Jake. Jake is a good runner, he runs our offense well, and he throws a really nice ball, so we’re just tickled to death to have him in our program,” Emans said. “He looks like he could be a guard, and he scored a couple times against Northwood on our option and bullied his way in there, so he’s a great addition for us.”

Does this mean the Flyers are going to push their way around the Northern Buckeye Conference, too? Not likely, says Emans. But from what he’s seen, he’s con-

vinced they will be a contender, if not a champion. However, Emans warns that Lake’s 3-0 start and Eastwood and Genoa’s 0-3 start in non-league play won’t mean a thing since league play kicked in. “We’ve got a long ways ahead of us and nobody crowns a champion after week three. After 10 weeks, if you are lucky enough to be champion, and then they’ll crown you, but there are no trophies after week three,” Emans said. “Eastwood is 0-3, but they played some quality teams and they could run the table and still be a league champ in a heartbeat. There are some struggling teams right now, but it’s early and a lot of teams can right the ship and get right back in it,” Emans continued. “Obviously, we look at scores and stuff, but I think the NBC race is going to be up for grabs come week 10. We’ve got to get through this week fi rst, we don’t concern ourselves with next week or four or fi ve weeks down the road. We’ve just go to fi nd a way this week.”

Shimel has LPGA on her mindBy Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]

It was the summer of 2007 and Alyssa Shimel was a sophomore at Eastwood High.

She had just been honored with a $750 col-lege scholarship at the conclu-sion of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Clas-sic at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania. After disclosing that Annika Sorenstam was her fa-vorite professional golfer, Shimel said “That’s my dream, to play on the LPGA Tour when I get older.”

In 2010, Shimel competed head-to-head with LPGA golfers at the Jamie Farr event after making the fi eld as a qualifi er. She was invited by tourna-ment director Judd Silverman following Shimel’s 2009 Division II state golf title.

Shimel, now 23, went on to play golf at the University of Michigan, where she earned honorable mention all-conference honors as a senior. Her goal is still out there and still very much attainable – to compete on the LPGA Tour.

“I’m looking forward to this next year and working to get into the LPGA,” said Shimel, who will partici-pate on the Symetra Tour next spring.

“You have the LPGA, and they have the Symetra Tour,” Shimel said. “It’s just like baseball has Triple A. The tour plays in Florida and Arizona and both (states) have mini-tours for wom-en. I went to Arizona, just outside of Scottsdale, and played out there last winter, from February to the middle of April. I have family out there, so I could get my feet wet. I played OK. It was defi nitely a learning experience because I’ve never done it before. I had my instructor (Derek Mannen) there to help me work on my swing.”

Shimel said golfers have to go to qualifying school to earn “status” on the Symetra Tour, which requires mem-bership. She attended LPGA Qualifying School in Palm Springs in early August.

“I got status on the Symetra Tour,” Shimel said. “The Symetra, because it’s a mini-tour of the LPGA and they do a points race, if you fi nish in the top 10 you automatically get entry to the LPGA. I didn’t play in the Symetra Tour last year, but I will start playing in those events in March.”

Shimel swears by a relatively new software technology called AimPoint, which should help her with putting.

“My short game has defi nitely got-ten a lot better,” Shimel said. “This summer I’ve really gotten better; my putting has gotten better. That’s some-thing I’ve always struggled with and kept me from (playing at) the next lev-el. AimPoint has helped me with fi ve-footers and longer putts. I notice I’ve made more 10- to 15-footers as well.”

She’s “confi dent” she will fi nish high enough on the Symetra money list next year to qualify for LPGA status.

“You have to be in the top money leaders to advance to the LPGA,” she said. “It would be nice to have a couple more months to continue putting with AimPoint and make a couple of chang-es that would help with my swing. I’ve been getting my feet wet. You learn a lot about your game when you’re by yourself.”

Shimel last competed June 29-July 1 at the Michigan Open, at Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, Mich. She tied for 19th out of 70 golf-ers with an 8-over 224 for three rounds. Shimel earned $1,000.

“It’s a pro tournament,” Shimel said. “That was the second tournament where I used AimPoint. I actually got to see some results there and just played better. There was one round that kind of kept me from fi nishing higher, but I saw my game going in the right direction.”

Defi ance native and Air Force veteran Tim Memmer has been the director of the Valentis Athletica Soccer Club in Bowling Green for several years now.

The club provides instruction for ages 3-18 and has 300 youngsters involved in the program that offers training six days a week. The club teams play games on the weekends.

Memmer, 48, is in his fi rst season as Genoa’s boys’ soccer coach and has the Comets off to a 4-2 start afer losing to Woodmore, 2-0, Thursday. Genoa was ranked No. 7 in the latest Northwest Ohio Soccer Coaches Association Division II poll, and is already three wins shy of matching last season’s total (the Comets fi nished 7-6-4). The Wildcats were ranked 10th in D-III.

“A few of the (Genoa) kids have played club for me,” Memmer said. “I was the coach at Bowling Green for 19 years and then I took a year off and just did club last year. This opportunity came up, and I’ve noticed there is something drastically dif-ferent from club soccer and high school soccer. A lot more emotion is involved at the high school level and a bit more togeth-erness with the players. Club tends to be a more about playing a particular way or training a certain way.”

Memmer has Genoa playing the game they way he likes it, with lots of scoring and a willingness by the players to learn “new things.”

“I like their commitment to work-ing hard,” Memmer said. “They had no idea what they were in for before I started with them. They’ve had to adapt a lot, and they’ve done a tremendous job of that.”

The Comets opened the season with four straight wins, including an 8-0 rout of Bowsher, followed by wins over Maumee Valley Country Day (4-1), Lake (2-1) and Otsego (5-3).

“We are very offensive minded,” Memmer said. “We’re creating lots of scoring opportunities. The change of expectations (has been a difference). I’m relentless. What they thought was good enough, they’ve had their eyes opened to what I expect.”

Genoa’s only other blemish was a 6-3 loss to Oak Harbor (4-2), which got goals from four different players — Liam Hall (2), Nate Poiry (2), Tyler Bowlick and Nick Damron, but Rocket coach Ken Filar noted that the Comets put on a late charge after the Rockets took a 3-0 halftime lead. Rocket assists were by Nate Poiry (3), Allen Luecke and Mark Bodi, and Kyle Draper had fi ve saves for Oak Harbor.

Meanwhile, Genoa senior keeper Justin McCormick had six saves and senior for-ward Jarod Brossia scored on a penalty kick for the Comets. Genoa had another score from a quick free kick from 40 yards while Oak Harbor keeper was setting up his wall. However, McCormick had just two saves in the loss to Woodmore Thursday.

Jarod Brossia also had four goals and three assists against Bowsher, and leads the team with nine goals and seven assists through four games. Brossia was last year’s Northern Buckeye Conference Player of the

Genoa coach’s experience paying dividends

Year after scoring eight goals with 20 assists.“Jarod has a very good understanding

of the game,” Memmer said. “Probably his biggest asset is his vision of what is going on, seeing where to play the ball, seeing the runs as they’re developing. He gives lots of instructions on the fi eld.”

Freshman forward Logan Bihn has four goals and one assist and has impressed his head coach with his athleticism.

“His talent way exceeds his under-standing of the game,” Memmer said. “He plays on complete instinct. He’s at least 6-foot-3, and he’s got some speed. The pow-er he can play with and the pace he can go … He has a surprising touch to fi nish goals.”

Senior keeper Justin McCormick has 27 saves in fi ve games and will probably share duties with fellow senior Tyler Braddock, who has three saves so far this season.

“We’re sticking with the hot hand right now,” Memmer said of McCormick. “Justin’s commitment to making the save, regardless of whether or not he can get to it, he fl ies to every shot. He’s doing everything he possibly can. There is no ‘Oops, I could have gotten that one’ from him.”

Memmer moved senior Aaron Lesniewicz from defender to outside back, “which he’s never done before,” the coach said.

“He’s usually been an attacking play-er,” Memmer said. “Coming from attacking in the defense, he moved to outside back and is playing like was born to do it.”

Two other key players are senior mid-fi elder Mark Everhardt and senior defend-er/midfi elder Noah Getz.

“Mark is probably our most talented player on the ball,” Memmer said. “He is phenomenal with the ball on his foot — our best one-on-one attacker. Noah is probably the workhorse of the team. He’s probably the fastest kid we have. He has a willing-ness to play wherever I need the energy. We’ve even had him at forward at times.”

Senior forward Ray Sidle, who injured his shoulder early in the Bowsher game, sat out against Maumee Valley and Lake, then played sparingly against Otsego. Memmer called Sidle the team’s offensive workhorse.

“He creates a lot of opportunities for others by his movement off the ball,” Memmer said. “He is absolutely relentless on balls that get played into the box. We had been missing that.”

Memmer added that the team’s goals this season are simple.

“When I started this, I told them we’re simply preparing to win every game we play,” he said. “That’s the mentality we’re bringing and that is our focus.”


Eastwood boys soccer coach Joe Montag likes creativity, and that’s a big rea-son he likes what he’s seen from the Eagles through fi ve games.

“As a coach what I’ve always taught players is to be able to think for them-selves,” said Montag, in his third year. “On the fi eld, they think on their own and they think with the ball and they create oppor-tunities instead of going up and down the fi eld in a straight line. They can adapt to the style of ball we’re playing.”

Through Wednesday the Eagles were 4-2 with wins over Sandusky Perkins (5-0), Rossford (7-1), Lake (6-1) and Wauseon (8-2). Their losses are to Napoleon (6-2) and Van Buren (9-3).

Eight starters return from a team that fi nished 6-7-4 last season.

“What I envisioned last year was all of the teams in the league (Northern Buckeye Conference) were in the same boat,” Montag said. “We all lost seniors at the same time and we all had younger kids coming into the fold. I felt that would even us out. I have a group of eight returning starters who have been together for a couple years now, so I did expect them to get stronger as ju-

Eastwood coach oversees quick turnaround niors and seniors.”

The Eagles’ top scorer is junior forward Jacob Montag, the coach’s son, who earned fi rst-team All-NBC and all-district honors last year. Jacob, who had four goals in the win over Lake, leads the team with 12 goals and six assists.

“He’s not the biggest fan of his dad be-ing his coach,” coach Montag said. “His coach is much harder on him than his dad. He has good fi eld presence and he knows where to be and when to be, and he can lead other people to where they need to play based on his style of play. He relies a lot on that fi eld presence and fi eld vision.”

Junior forward Rudy Cruz has seven goals and two assists this season, and ju-nior midfi elder Logan Baugher has two goals and fi ve assists. Baugher was a fi rst-team All-NBC and honorable mention all-district selection a year ago.

“Rudy has very good feet, good speed and good quickness,” coach Montag said. “He just handles the ball very well and handles himself very well on the fi eld. He’s a pretty elusive player. Logan is kind of my engine. He has a superior work ethic and is a busy player who is a force to be reckoned with in any midfi eld. He has outstanding speed.”

Junior keeper Rudy Bowe has 28 saves this season after winning the NBC’s Golden

Glove Award as a sophomore.“Rudy is consistent,” Montag said. “He

doesn’t let things bother him. If he makes a mistake, he jumps right back in the box and that mistake is forgotten immediately. He’s consistent and reliable.”

Eastwood’s other top players are mid-fi elder Jared Luther, a senior captain, and junior defenders Ryan Reiter and Landon Zura. Reiter, a three-year starter and an all-conference pick last season, has three goals in six games.

“Jared is playing very solid and con-sistent and is doing what he needs to do,” Montag said. “Nothing fl ashy, but getting the job done. Ryan has outstanding speed and clears the ball well. Anything positive you can think of to say about a defender, that defi nes Ryan. Landon is a solid de-fender with good speed. He keeps play to the outside and moves up the fi eld well.”

Montag said he expects the Eagles to contend for the NBC crown this season, but they have to stay healthy.

“We have to make sure our training stays focused and dedicated to our mis-sion,” he said. “That’s not a problem. Our guys seem focused and they’ve got their eye on the goal. They are working hard and showing up early to practice, and that fo-cus and dedication is what’s going to get us there.”

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer [email protected] Do you want to fi nd out what it’s like to balance raising eight kids while spreading the word of God and working as a physi-cian? Then come on out to Christ Community Church in Genoa on Sept. 25-27. This coming weekend, Jonathan and Amy Claussen, who operate the Family Restoration Project, an organization ded-icated to helping provide families with guidance while working to strengthen their foundation, will be holding ministry and teaching seminars in an effort to educate families on how they can better incorporate God into their lives. There are three ministry and teaching sessions — Friday at 7 p.m.; Saturday at 10 a.m. and Sunday at 10 a.m. A cookout and bonfi re will be held on Saturday at 6 p.m. The Claussens, who live in Browerville, Minnesota which is located just over two

Family Restoration Project comes to Genoa community

hours northwest of Minneapolis, raise eight kids, all of whom are homeschooled, and are the hosts and leaders of The Glory Barn, a revival center whose primary focus is honoring the presence of God and provid-ing freedom in worship. The strength of the family also extends to the grandparents — Jonathan’s parents (Don and Heather Claussen) and Amy’s parents (Larry and Wilma Rich) — who worked to provide their children with a

spiritual upbringing. Their plea is simple: “If you know that your family is called to greatness, then let us encourage you in your vision. If you hope that your family is meant to do great exploits for God, then let us convince you. If you doubt that God could do anything with your family, then join us on this jour-ney and be infused with the Truth that your family has a magnifi cent destiny.” The website, www.familyresto-rationproject.com, contains a video biogra-phy of the family which gives the parents’ perspective on what it means to be parent and how they work to raise their children. Amy, for instance, has found a way to see some of the challenges that come with rais-ing children more as an opportunity and less as a burden. “I had always wanted to be a mom, and motherhood looked very different than my ideal dreams,” Amy says in the video. “One thing about being a mom is all of us know there’s a lot of work to be done… and you can also count on many interruptions. As the Lord began to talk to me and speak to

me more and more about what it means be-ing a mom, suddenly those interruptions became holy opportunities that I got to sew into my children (by meeting) their indi-vidual needs.” Jonathan, who works as a physician, has an acute perspective on families be-cause of his occupation. “I’m a family medicine physician, and it’s provided me with the unique op-portunity to see families fi rsthand, from birth through death. And what I’ve seen is a hunger, a hunger for family, a hunger for connection,” he says. “Everybody wants it, everybody wants to belong. And what I see are people look-ing for strategies, looking for ideas, looking for things that will bring healing to their own family. And that’s in our heart, to help people. Any family, no matter it’s size or situation, can have a peaceful home, fi lled with fun and a real connection, and that’s the heart behind the Family Restoration Project.” For more information, contact Christ Community Church at 419-855-4187.

By J.K. DePeal

September is here and on Sept. 23, we will welcome autumn. The days are grow-ing shorter now and some of our migratory birds will soon begin to prepare for their personal journeys to their winter homes. The lull now, between the heat of sum-mer and the colder days to come, is a great time to enjoy your gardens and fl ower beds as the milder weather of September brings out the best in many fl owers and foliage plants. Early frosts can occur this month, but they are normally mild in September and do not damage most perennials and annuals which will keep right on blooming until the later hard frosts. The squirrels in my backyard seem to be much more frenetic now in their daily routines of rushing from tree to tree and fl owing speedily about the yard. Their greatest activity seems to center around the nut trees and, of course, the bird feed-ers. Hopefully they are storing food for the winter to come but we suspect that they are eating a lot of the nuts and bird feed now to support all their “September rushing around!” With the colder weather ahead, the fol-

It’s time to enjoy the beauty, bounty of early fall gardens

lowing reader questions address some fall garden interests. Question: I like ornamental grasses and enjoy having them in my yard. What are some varieties that would give me some good fall color? Answer: There are a number of grass-es that can add a splash of color to the fall landscape. Flame grass (Miscanthus pur-purascens) turns a vivid orange-red in the fall. Japanese blood grass (Imperata cylin-drica) sports red-tinged foliage throughout the growing season. Native Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans) turns yellow to or-ange in the fall and the cultivar of the same (Sioux blue) is a blue-green color which holds through the fall. Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), big bluestem (Andropogan gerardii) and switch grass (Panicum virgatum) all turn a coppery or-

ange in the fall. Any of these can add fall color as an added benefi t to their low-main-tenance care. Question: I lost quite a few of my roses over the last winter and would like to pre-vent as much loss as possible this year. Any tips? Answer: Before winterizing your roses, give them a thorough preparation for the cold season ahead. Roses that have suffered heavy attacks of pests or diseases are al-ready weakened before going into the win-ter months. They may not make it through the winter in spite of good winter care. Cut back canes and remove all diseased foliage from the plant and from the ground around the plant. You may then mound the plant base with soil and enclose it with a wire cage, fence, or etc. Fill this with dead leaves, straw, etc. after the ground freezes. You may also use mulch to cover the cut-back plant. Mound up the mulch to 15-18 inches and surround it with a wire cage or rose cone. Question: Last summer I planted a snowball hydrangea. It made it through the cold winter but this summer it did not fl ower? What is wrong?

Answer: Smooth or snowball hydran-gea (Hydrangea arborescens) prefers good rich soil that is well-drained. It prefers sun in the morning and part shade through the day. The more sun it gets in the cooler mornings the better it will perform. If the hydrangea has these conditions, you may need to give it another year before you see good steady bloom production. Too much nitrogen in fertilizer or im-proper pruning will also affect bloom pro-duction. Snowball hydrangea blooms on new wood, so pruning it in the late spring or early summer will remove the buds for summer fl owers. If the plant is actually a bigleaf hydrangea rather than a snowball variety, a cold winter could have killed the fl ower buds that would have produced blooms this past summer. September garden tip: Start some herb seeds in pots now and keep the plants on sunny windowsills inside through the win-ter. You’ll have a fresh supply of herbs all winter to use in soups, salads etc.If you have garden questions or tips for other gardeners, email [email protected].

The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center will have its 25th and fi nal Civil War re-enactment and encampment Oct. 3-4 at Spiegel Grove. According to Kristina Smith commu-nications/marketing manager at the Hayes Center, declining numbers of re-enactors and dwindling attendance led to the deci-sion to make this year’s encampment the fi nal one. Hayes staff and volunteers are working on ideas for a new and perhaps smaller-scale event to honor President Hayes’ Civil war service, which was “very important to him.” On both days of this year’s event, Civil War re-enactors will camp on the grounds and take part in three re-enactments of the Battle of Opequon Creek, where Rutherford B. Hayes led the charge that helped win the battle. Hayes served in the Civil War before he was president. The weekend will include reenact-ments, Sutler’s Row, grand military ball, wreath-laying service at Hayes’ tomb, news conference by Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis and more. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for children ages 6-12. Partial funding for the event is provided by Mosser Construction Inc. The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center is located at Spiegel Grove at the corner of Hayes and Buckland avenues in Fremont.

Walk for Parkinson’s The 10th Annual Team Fox Walk to Cure Parkinson’s Disease will be held Saturday, Oct 3, on the ProMedica Bay Park Hospital campus, located at the corner of Wheeling and Brown roads in Oregon. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the hospital café. This year’s event will start with a Kid’s “Fox Trot” Fun Run at 10:30 a.m. followed by the walk at 11 a.m. The course is paved and approximately half-mile around. Prizes will be awarded for the Kid’s Fun Run for various age groups. There will be a boxing demonstration by the International Boxing Club, as well as face painting and pumpkin-decorating for kids. The walk concludes with refreshments and a raffl e at 11:45 a.m. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, de-generative, neurological disorder with no known cure. Team Fox is the Michael J. Fox Foundation’s (MJFF) grassroots community fundraising program. The local Team Fox Walk was started by Janet Clough in 2005 in memory of her father. “I am excited about the advances made in the last decade and what we’ve been able to accomplish since starting this event. We are reaching more people in our community and sharing the importance of early diagnosis and exercise in delaying the disease,” she said. . “I am inspired by the determination of those I’ve met in the PD community and am optimistic that a cure will be found through the dedicated efforts of the Michael J Fox Foundation,” Clough said.

TO THOSE WHO OWN GRAVE SPACES

IN THE CLAY TOWNSHIP CEMETERY

GENOA, OHIO

The Clay Township Trustees along with the Maintenance

Department will be continuing their work on upgrading

and improving the Clay Township Cemetery. During the

next year diseased, overgrown, and unapproved trees

and vegetation will be removed from the cemetery. This is

an effort to preserve the beauty and sacred space in

which our loved ones rest.

Clay Township would like to remind lot owners of the

following:

A. The planting of any "trees, shrubs, evergreens, rose

bushes or any other bushes" on their lots is prohibited.

B. That all “artificial, planted/potted flowers, urns, stat-

ues, vigil lights, etc., must be placed on the ends or 12

inches in front or back of the monument/ marker from

March 15th to October 15th.

C. A complete list of the rules and regulations is avail-

able by contacting the Township office.

lf you have any questions or concerns about this ongoing

project or any other project associated with the Township,

please give us a call at 419-855-7878.
