Despite the offer of a reward, the shooting of a yellow Labrador Retriever on Bayshore Road in Oregon this summer re-mains unsolved. The owners of the dog, Rocco, found shot to death in August, are hoping some-one will come forth with information lead-ing to the arrest of those responsible. Cindy Mabus, daughter of Ron and Sally “Red” Kilburn, said her parents’ dog was found dead on August 20, behind Oregon’s No. 3 Fire Station on Bayshore Rd., across the street from where they live. “I am just blown away that someone would just shoot him,” Mabus said. “He would not have hurt a fl ea.” Rocco was a seven-year-old, 80 pound love bug, she said, adding he would once in a while get loose from his yard, which is attached to her parents’ business, Ron’s Trailers, located at 4400 Bayshore Rd. “He liked to roam the neighborhood,” Mabus said. “We never had any complaints from anyone about him. He just would not hurt anyone. The customers loved him. He liked to swim in the pond and meet people. I just can’t imagine someone wanting to hurt him.” Mabus recalled that she had just fi n-ished working and left the business earlier

that evening. Rocco was in his yard at the time. “The Oregon Police called my dad around 11:30 p.m. about the dog,” she said. “The offi cer met my mom and dad at the fi re station. Everyone assumed Rocco had been hit by a car.” But on Friday morning, when her fa-ther took a closer look at the dog’s body, he noticed a bullet hole in its side. “He called the police and an offi cer came out to take a report,” she explained. Rocco, she added, bled to death internally. She said it appeared that the dog was try-ing to make it home when it collapsed and died. Mabus said she called the police de-partment again when she received informa-tion from the woman who had found the

dog and called police. She also gave infor-mation to offi cers concerning a rumor that a man in the neighborhood had been shoot-ing cats. Oregon Police Chief Mike Navarre, said his offi cer had investigated the inci-dent and fi led a supplemental report on September 3. So far, the investigation has not yielded any suspects. “We are not aware of any other prob-lems and this looks like an isolated inci-dent,” Navarre said. “The original offi cer, Ted Moore, has investigated and was able to fi nd a neighbor who had been rumored to be hurting animals. There is no evidence that this man was involved. At this point we have nothing else to follow up on. We have no viable suspects.” Mabus is offering a $500 reward for information concerning the shooting that leads to the arrest of the person or persons who heartlessly shot and killed the dog. “I also have signs in front of my par-ents’ business asking for information,” Mabus said. “He was so sweet. He loved people and people loved him.” Navarre said if additional information is brought forward, the department will continue to investigate. “If we get something, we will follow up on it,” Navarre said. “At this point there

November 10th is a date that still haunts the hearts of many people in this region, for this was the day in 1975 that na-ture reminded us that she is not to be taken lightly. Capable of sudden and capricious power she can render helpless even the largest egos and machines of men. Forty years ago on that day, such was the case when the gales of November swallowed the Toledo-based freighter, the Edmund Fitzgerald in the stormy and violent waters of Lake Superior. The ensuing tale of this big ship’s trag-edy has survived long after the storm of that night, spawning songs, poems, stories and multiple theories as to her demise and how she came to rest at the bottom of the biggest Great Lake. The enduring tale of the 729 foot long “Fitz” in many ways would become the Titanic of the Great Lakes in lore and legend. Her story will not be forgotten anytime soon. Two area women will also not forget the Fitzgerald anytime soon, for they cherish a unique perspective of the big freighter. In the summer of 1973, Carolyn Nitz Schnapp and Patrice Webster, then young teenagers, got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a trip on the Edmund Fitzgerald. It was a fi ve day cruise from Toledo to Silver Bay Minnesota to bring back a load of iron ore pellets - a normal payload for the giant ore freighter which was the largest in the Great Lakes fl eet. Patrice Webster, who now lives in Oregon, recalls that her father Delmar Webster was a First Mate with Ogelbay Norton, the shipping company that op-erated the Fitzgerald. It was through his friendship with the Fitzgerald’s Captain, Ernest McSorley, that he and his daughter were able to get on board for this summer cruise. Patrice invited her childhood friend Carolyn Nitz along for the adventure. As Carolyn recalls, it was mid-July of 1973 when they boarded in Toledo and stayed in the crews’ quarters of the ship

is nothing we can do without additional information. If anyone has additional in-formation we encourage them to contact us immediately. It is unfortunate. I own a dog myself and I would be devastated.” Gary Willoughby, executive director of the Toledo Area Humane Society, said Mabus had also contacted the agency’s Cruelty Investigation Division. According to Willoughby, the agency spoke with the police department, but has not been able to investigate due to a lack of witnesses to the shooting. “Cindy spoke to one of our offi cers and unfortunately there was no witness to the shooting,” Willoughby explained. “We have to have leads to investigate. The unit gets 2,000 calls per year and thankfully this type of thing is pretty rare. If we get more information, we will jump right in and in-vestigate it.” Please contact Cindy Mabus at 419- 410-2815 if you have information about the shooting.

Fitzgerald more than legend

where she and Patrice, spent a lot of time in the galley helping to make meals for the crew and the offi cers. “We made fudge and cookies,” she said, and helped serve them to the 29 crew members. “They were very nice to us and spent a lot of time talking with us. It was like having a bunch of big brothers and Dads, they became like family to us.” Sadly many of the men they were to meet and befriend went down with the ship when it sank in 1975. Patrice and Carolyn both remember Captain McSorley, of Ottawa Hills, as a very kind and gentle man. They also recall the friendliness of

many of the crew, some not much older than they were at the time. They describe them as fun-loving characters with a good sense of humor. For two 13-year old girls, the journey was a thrilling and indelible experience. But, 40 years after the ship’s sinking, their shared experience remains a bittersweet memory, as some of the men they got to know were aboard the night hurricane-like storms began to churn the waters of Lake Superior and sent the ship and the men to their watery graves. “It’s hard for me every November 10th,” says Carolyn, who now lives near Trowbridge. “I usually just like to be by myself every year on the anniversary day.” Carolyn’s memories of that trip on the Mighty Fitz are brought to life by the paint-ings, pictures, articles and other memora-bilia of the ship she has collected over the years. They are kept in a special room of her house. For Patrice, the deep feelings for the crew are the same. “It’s really sur-real to know that you were on that ship which is now so famous.” Her memories and attachment to the tragedy were made even more relevant as her father Delmar Webster, would become the fi rst Captain of “Courtney Burton”, the ship that eventu-ally replaced the Fitzgerald as the Oglebay Norton fl agship. For a number of years, Patrice accom-panied her father every November 10th to the Mariner’s Church in downtown Detroit where special services were held to honor and remember the crew and the ship. For Carolyn, her recollections of that special trip are leavened by the numerous trips she has taken to the Fitzgerald Shipwreck Museum at Whitefi sh Point, Michigan. A place where many of the artifacts recovered from the shipwreck site are on display. One of those items is the bell from the Fitzgerald which both Carolyn and Patrice got to ring numerous times on their 1973 voy-age. For both women who knew this ship up close and knew the crew as more than just names in the newspaper, the haunting sound of that bell echoing over the deck of the Fitzgerald rings in their minds on every November 10th.

Northwood Councilman Ed Schimmel, who voters on Tuesday tapped to be their new mayor, is already focusing on econom-ic development opportunities for the city. “Economic development will be my primary focus,” said Schimmel last Wednesday, the day after the Nov. 3 elec-tion. “We fi rst need to address the needs of businesses on Woodville Road if we hope to attract new development there,” he said. Schimmel, an attorney, said he has a particular insight to the Northwood busi-ness community because his law fi rm is on Woodville Road. As a result, he has been able to address some of the concerns that have prompted businesses to leave. For the past two years, he has chaired the economic development committee, which has begun the process of address-ing economic development concerns on Woodville Road, as well as on the Oregon/Wales Road intersection, which he said is another area of focus. “With the amount of traffi c moving through that intersection, it should be booming,” he said. “The city needs to clean up these areas and fi x traffi c fl ow issues to attract more business and customers to these locations.” Schimmel, 38, beat his opponent, Councilman Randy Kozina, 62, by a wide margin of 932 to 566, or 62.22 percent to 37.78 percent, according to unoffi cial re-sults from the Wood County Board of Elections. A member of council since 2008, he attributed his victory to the number of residents who volunteered to campaign for him. “Word of mouth is probably the most effective way to run a campaign, and I had so many friends, neighbors, and people who I had just recently met willing to spread the work about my vision for Northwood,” he said. Schimmel will be reducing his work-load at his law fi rm once he is sworn into offi ce. “My intention is to be in the mayor’s of-fi ce every Thursday, and a half-day at least one day per week. Being self-employed,

my schedule is fairly fl exible for going to the municipal building as needed. The mayor’s job is to provide guidance to the department heads and city administrator on the agenda that is to be advanced. The city has a good set of department heads, and they run the day-to-day operation of the city. I intend on allowing them to complete their duties, but I would expect weekly reports on attainment of goals set for each of their departments,” he said. Also on Tuesday, voters re-elected Councilman Dean Edwards by a vote of 818, or 23.57 percent. He received the highest vote count of the fi ve candidates

vying for three seats on council. Incumbent Councilman James Barton was also re-elected, with 759 votes, or 21.87 percent, the second highest vote count. Voters elect-ed newcomer Daniel Mikolajczyk with 671 votes, or 19.33 percent. In The Press’s Voter Guide, Mikolajczyk said he would like to see the city hire a full-time economic development/grant writer to work with the administrator to pursue available grants and incentives for cur-rent and future business developments. He also said the city should be more business friendly and less restrictive to current and potential future businesses.

Local clubs tohelp homeless vets The National Exchange Club and Veterans Matter, both based in Toledo, re-cently announced a strategic national part-nership to help raise the funds to ensure every American veteran has a place to call home. The yearlong $1.5 million campaign, which aims to house 2,000 veterans na-tionwide, will kick off with simultaneous fundraising rallies planned in 50 cities and towns across the country at 7 p.m. on Veterans Day (Nov. 11). Exchange Clubs as well as other like-minded organizations will join to meet the national goal. Funds raised will go directly to Veterans Matter, which is dedicated solely to moving homeless veterans into safe, per-manent, supportive housing. “We are proud to partner with The National Exchange Club as they, too, are ac-tively dedicated to caring for the men and women who served as well as the most vul-nerable people in all communities,” said Ken Leslie, founder of Veterans Matter, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofi t 1Matters.org. “We are declaring this a ‘state of urgen-cy’ because there are veterans and veteran families with children waiting right now for housing. They just need the help get-ting over the threshold.” “The National Exchange Club recog-nizes the tragedy that so many service men and women, those who’ve fought to pro-tect us, have been forgotten,” said Tracey Edwards, executive vice president of The National Exchange Club. “With Veterans Matter, we have found a remarkably ef-fective way to help thousands of veterans and veteran families living on our nation’s streets to ‘cross the threshold’ into their own homes as fast as possible.” Visit www.nationalexchangeclub.org or www.veteransmatter.org/hometown.

Discover the madness behind the method in MythBuster: The Explosive Exhibition, at Imagination Station Toledo from now until January 10. Visitors are invited to apply the scien-tifi c method to uncover the truth behind popular myths. Can you drive a car blind-folded or hang from the edge of a cliff? Based on the real-life operations room of the MythBusters’ iconic set, this exhibi-tion is fi lled with gadgets, props, video and blueprints used by the hosts to explore myths on the show. The exhibition creates hands-on, inter-active experiences for guests of all ages by combining popular scientifi c facts with in-novative, family-friendly displays. Videos and notes from co-hosts Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara take scientifi c inves-tigation to exciting new levels by proving or exploding myths using their highly ex-perimental approach and extensive back-grounds in special effects. Savage and Hyneman were heavily in-volved throughout the development of the

Explosive Exhibition at Imagination Stationexhibition to ensure guests experience a true MythBusting encounter. “It’s exciting to see fans take on some of our favorite experiments from the show while drawing their own conclusions and data,” said Savage. “Although they are tackling the same myths and questions, each guest can have a unique experience within the exhibit.” “We hope people have fun at the ex-hibit and get a sense of what it is like doing the show,” added Hyneman. “We are excited to bring an authen-tic MythBusting experience to Toledo. Whether you are a fan of the show or not, the hands-on method of busting myths will get you excited about the scientifi c meth-od,” said Lori Hauser, chief executive offi -cer for Imagination Station. Exhibits cover topics such as fl ight, friction, gravity, speed and combustion. The exhibition showcases: • Blueprint Room – Based on the real-life operations room of the MythBusters’ iconic set, this room acts as an introduction to MythBusting and is fi lled with gadgets,

props, video and, of course, blueprints. • Workshop – Guests turn into inves-tigators and use real science to test myths, including whether they get more wet run-ning versus walking in the rain. • Live MythBusters Demonstration Stage – Guests have the opportunity to view and participate in live science dem-onstrations that dissect myths with the help of a team of energetic MythBusting fa-cilitators. One lucky participant will have the opportunity to see if their refl exes are quick enough to dodge a paintball. “MythBusters: The Explosive Ex-hibition” was created by Discovery Communications and Exhibits Develop-ment Group (EDG), in partnership with the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago and Geoffrey M. Curley + Associates. “MythBusters,” the series, is developed and produced by Beyond Entertainment Limited. Financing for the exhibition has been made possible by Olympus Capital Investments, LLC, a unit of Olympus Holdings, LLC.

A Tribute to All Our Veterans

Be proud, you are an American.

And you live in a country that is free.

Be proud, of all our Veterans.

Who died for you and me.

Our Veterans fought in many wars,

To keep our country free.

They never gave it a second thought,

When they fought for you and me.

For they were proud to protect our country,

They shed their blood and tears.

Some came back home, some didn’t make it,

Many are still missing for years.

For their love for their Country and their Land,

Was very dear to them.

Though it would mean they would leave behind,

Their families and their friends.

For second thoughts never crossed their minds,

They knew what they had to do.

To protect Our Country, U.S.A.

And our flag of Red, White, and Blue.

Stand up and salute our American Flag.

As it passes down your way.

Show our Veterans that you’re proud of them,

By remembering them that day.

And as our Flag is passing by,

Remember our women and men.

Who died and sacrificed their lives.

If they could, they would do it again.

For they were proud to live in America,

A Country that is free.

They were proud of their Land they loved so much.

When they died for you and me.

“I think the clear difference in this

campaign is we were very open. There was

no question about what we were raising the funds for, or what we were asking for.

By Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

A 3.95-mill operations levy for the Oregon City Schools District was passed by a big margin on Tuesday. The victory was a big win for the district, which had been unsuccessful in getting an operations levy passed since 2008. Out of a total of 7,986 votes cast, 4,992, or 62.51 percent, were in favor of the levy, and 2,994, or 37.49 percent opposed, ac-cording to unoffi cial results of the Lucas County Board of Elections. Last year, the district tried to get a 5.9-mill levy passed, but voters defeated the measure. This time, the board decided to reduce the millage in an effort to get it passed. That, along with budget cuts, may have been the key to success this time. “We were able to reduce millage, and explained the cuts we made,” said school board Vice President Jeff Ziviski. “I think that went a very long way.” Voters were faced with cuts in extra-curricular activities and the transfer of vocational schooling from the district to Penta County Vocational School if the levy didn’t pass. “This keeps our programs and extracur-ricular activities intact,” said Ziviski, who was re-elected to the board on Tuesday. He also praised the campaign levy committee for its aggressive campaign to get the levy passed. “They did an awesome job,” he said. “I think the clear difference in this campaign is we were very open. There was

no question about what we were raising the funds for, or what we were asking for. We wanted money to preserve our technical program and secondly, we needed money for extracurricular. That really resonated with people,” he said. Superintendent Hal Gregory agreed. If the levy failed, the Clay Career-Technical programs would have been shift-ed to a Joint Vocational School (JVS), he said. Residents would have been assessed by the county auditor an automatic unvot-ed 3.2-mill levy going directly to the JVS. All JVS member districts pay that amount to access the local JVS.

“We would have probably partnered with Penta and moved our career tech pro-grams to that organization. If that were to happen, residents would have automati-cally received a 3.2-mill tax, and I think people believed that, if we were going to pay 3.2-mills to another institution, why not pay 3.95-mills and keep it local,” said Gregory. The district also reduced costs by not replacing the assistant superintendent and the curriculum director, as well as two teachers who retired from Clay High School. “We also structured and reduced over-time for classifi ed employees. We know times are tough and nobody wants to pay taxes, but school districts under the current funding system will always need local dol-lars.” “It allowed us to seek a lower millage,” said Gregory. “We said from the beginning, the lower millage is the lifeline to our fu-ture, but it’s not a one and done type of levy. We’ll need another operating levy in two to three years.” That could change if the district re-ceives more revenue from increased eco-nomic development in the city, he said. “We’re excited about the economic development in our district,” he said. He cited the Oregon Clean Energy project as an example of new revenue coming into the district. “We anticipate money with that. We have a tax abatement with them that will start in 2017. Any future development will help us.” Most of all, the passage of the levy was

uplifting to the morale of the district, he added. “It defi nitely was a boost for the com-munity. It just feels good because people supported our schools. We feel very good about that. We’ve turned the corner, we’ve come out of those tough years. We have a good positive curriculum coming out of the district, good morale, the business and oth-er leaders are coming together and backing our schools,” he said. Gregory also praised the levy commit-tee for its hard work in getting the word out. “We worked day in and day out talking with people in the community. Our levy committee was made up of several com-munity members and parents, some were parents from the marching band. That is a big infl uential group in our school system. That organization was out there talking and sharing, urging support and votes for the levy. I personally went out with people, spoke to many seniors, went to senior liv-ing facilities and the senior center count-less times. It’s been a wonderful relation-ship. It’s all those little things that added up. We certainly want to thank the resi-dents of Oregon and Jerusalem Township for their support. We’re very honored by their vote.” Voters also approved a new board member on Tuesday. Keith Kennedy be-came the newest member. He replaces Dan Saevig, who was appointed to the seat va-cated by former school board president P.J. Kapfhammer, who resigned in the middle of his term. Saevig had decided not to run for the seat.

The Ohio Township Association is asking its members to provide data on their costs for maintaining and repairing roads in their jurisdictions as the association pre-pares to lobby the state legislature on bills to fund roads. In its October 30 legislative alert, the OTA asks township offi cials to provide in-formation about the costs of maintaining roads over the past decade:• What did it cost in 2005 and 2015 to drag one mile of a gravel road?• What did it cost in 2005 and 2015 to chip seal one mile of road?

• What did it cost in 2005 and 2015 to pave one mile of road?• What did it cost in 2005 and 2015 for one ton of salt? In testimony last February before the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, Matthew DeTemple, executive director of the OTA, noted that the mainte-nance of roads is the largest responsibility of townships. Statewide, townships maintain more than 41,000 miles of roads in Ohio, he said, but funding has not kept pace with costs. “The Federal Highway Administration found that highway construction and maintenance costs nationwide grew ap-proximately three times faster from 2003 through 2006 than their fastest rate during

any 3-year period between 1990 and 2003, substantially reducing the purchasing pow-er of highway funds (The Federal Highway Administration, September 2007). Since that report, the rate of increase has acceler-ated, with highway maintenance costs ris-ing at an 8.4 percent average annual rate during 2007-2010 (The Federal Highway Administration, September 2011). Townships in Ohio have seen their costs sky-rocket over the last ten years, as well,” he told the committee. DeTemple said the outward migration to unincorporated areas has caused an in-crease of traffi c on township roads, espe-cially by heavy commercial vehicles. “Businesses that produce heavy truck traffi c, such as mining, logging, CAFFs

(Concentrated Animal Feeding Facilities) and solid waste to name a few, and do dam-age to township roads, should be required to provide fi nancial help to the township in which the business resides for infra-structure improvements. The Road Use Maintenance Agreement (RUMA) language in the Ohio Revised Code has helped with the oil and gas industry,” he said. In 2014, Lake Township spent $13,745 for striping, berm stone and cold patching, according to Vicki Schwamberger, town-ship fi scal offi cer. All expenses were paid from the gasoline tax, motor vehicle license tax or permissive MVL tax, she said.

A familiar face was the top vote get-ter in the Oregon City Council race while a long-time incumbent was defeated for re-election on Nov. 3. Sandy Bihn, executive director of the Lake Erie Waterkeepers Association, re-ceived the most votes and was elected to a four year term on council. She was one of eight candidates vying for four seats. Bihn, of Bayshore Road, was previous-ly elected to council in 1983 and 2005. She was also elected clerk auditor in 1987. On Tuesday, she received 3,205 votes, or 15 percent, of the vote, according to unoffi -cial results from the Lucas County Board of Elections. Bihn, 68, attributed her win, in part, to her high profi le work on water issues, particularly in the wake of the three day tap water ban due to a toxic algal bloom in Lake Erie last year. “People have grown to know me,” said Bihn, who also worked as the city’s fi nance director in the 1990s. “I worked hard on the water issues. Many people wished me well. The feedback I was getting is that they were happy I was running and they thanked me for my work on the water issues. They ap-preciated it.” Bihn, a long time environmental ac-tivist, spent years raising awareness of al-gae in the lake way before the water crisis struck last year. “The water issue is huge,” she said. “I spend 20 to 40 hours a week on average on water issues. The lake has become very

demanding. People here do care about the lake and the water. It was good to hear that the vote for me refl ected that. Government, business and environmental groups need to work to network and provide information so the lake gets healed quickly and with accountability.” She is looking forward to participating on the city’s upcoming shore-line project as well as fostering “something in recreation beyond competitive sports.” “There is a dip on the road on Bayshore that is a hazard and it needs to be ad-dressed,” she added. She also said she is concerned about kids hanging out late at night disrupting neighborhoods. “We have to work on tak-ing care of that issue,” she said. “We also have to make sure the fi re department gets what it needs as far as equipment and fi re hoses.” Steve Hornyak received the second highest vote, with 3,116 votes, or 14.96 percent of the vote. Hornyak, 47, is a di-vision manager of Oldcastle Business Management. He previously served on the Oregon Board of Education from 2004-2008. Councilwoman Kathleen Pollauf was re-elected to a second term with the third highest vote. She received 2,935 votes, or 14.09 percent of the vote. Pollauf, 49, is self-employed as a massage therapist at Massage Therapy, LLC. Councilman Timothy J. Zale, 49, fi n-ished in fourth place and was re-elected to a second term. He received 2,784 votes, or 13.37 percent. Zale is a retired Oregon po-lice offi cer.

Peach defeated Long time incumbent Councilman

Jerry Peach received 2,743 votes, or 13.17 percent of the vote. The fi fth place fi nish ends Peach’s 14 years on council. “I am somewhat disappointed in the outcome,” said Peach the day after the elec-tion. “It was an unusual election with state-wide issues 2 and 3 on the ballot. It brought out people who may not have voted other-wise. It was not the only thing. Elections are just snapshots on any given election day and anything can happen.” Peach, the only Republican on council, said he was proud of the fact that he only missed one council meeting in all the years he was on council. “I took being on council very seriously and I have been very dedicated. It is time to take a day off,” he said. Peach, 67, said he does not know if he will ever run for public offi ce again. “Who knows the future?” He leaves offi ce with a “fi rst class po-lice force and fi re department and the city never has been in better fi nancial shape.” “I am sure the new council is going to work well with the administration and I am leaving the city in good hands,” said Peach, a former teacher and farm owner. Former City Councilman Bill Myers, a farmer, came in sixth place at 2,392, or 11.48 percent of the vote. Incumbent Councilman Joshua Hughes, an attorney, came in seventh place, with 2,380 votes, and 11.43 percent of the vote. He was seeking a second term on council. Corey Greenblat, the youngest of the eight candidates, came in eighth place with 1,273 or 6.11 percent of the votes. Greenblat, 20, attends Ohio State University.

Stahl back in the chairBy Press Staff Writer

A former member of the Ottawa County Board of Commissions is back on the board. Mark Stahl was appointed to the seat recently vacated by Steve Arndt. Stahl will fi ll Arndt’s unexpired term through Jan. 1, 2017. A former Allen Township trustee, Stahl was elected to the board of com-missioners in 2008 in a race for the seat held by Carl Koebel, who retired from the board. Stahl lost his bid for re-election in 2012 to JoEllen Regal, who was county auditor at the time. Regal and Jim Sass are currently on the board. “It’s a good opportunity for me to get back in the seat,” Stahl said. “I fully intend to run for re-election to the seat in November of next year. One of the biggest issues we face right now is the health of Lake Erie. A lot of household incomes depend on it. We basically have an economy within an economy and our drinking water comes from there. So I think I’m speaking for the commissioners as a group when I say we’re going to have to do our best to keep it clean.” Stahl was sworn in by Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters. Arndt resigned the seat after be-ing appointed to the state legislature as representative of the 89th House District to replace Steve Kraus, who was forced to resign after a theft con-viction Arndt will complete the remain-der of the Kraus term which ends December 2016. He then intends to run for a full term.

Woodmore schools

Finances, communication priorities for new boardBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

Newly-elected members of the Wood-more school board plan to focus on the dis-trict’s fi nancial condition and improving communications between the board and residents. Sam Preston, Cara Brown, and Sean Rizor were elected to the board in competi-tive races while incumbent Corinna Bench was the only candidate for a seat to com-plete the unexpired term of Grant Cum-mings, who resigned in the spring. Brown, who was the top vote-getter, and Rizor, credited their extensive use of Facebook for helping them win seats Brown started her Facebook page, Woodmore Speak Up Speak Out, in Sep-tember of 2014. “It was huge,” Brown said Thursday. “The idea of a having a social media page was to give information to the public. I

have over 476 followers now. The public wanted the information and there was no other simple way at that time to do that. People were able to go on at their leisure and read what was going on in the district and listen to (recorded) board meetings. I think my Facebook page showed the pub-lic how far and how hard I was willing to work for them. You’re able to put yourself out there and say here are my ideas and this is what I’m willing to do for you.” The day before the election, there were 2,017 hits on her page, she said. Rizor also said his Facebook page was a factor in his being elected. “I think it was very helpful,” he said. “I know a lot of my posts reached a lot of people. A lot of the posts were getting be-tween 2,000 and 4,000 people. They were not necessarily liking them or commenting, but were actually seeing it. That’s how I gauged whether or not people were in tune to what I was saying.” Preston acknowledged social media

has a role in communicating with the pub-lic but said it has its limits. “Each generation is going to be differ-ent,” he said. “I have a problem with any unilateral communication. I like things in writing and in social media things are written. But you’re never really sure of the point of view of the writer or the receiver. It doesn’t lend itself to an extended dialogue. “We’re running a $10 million busi-ness and we’re in charge of the education of more than 1,000 students and I believe there should be a fairly fi rm and clear dia-logue about where you’re going to go and how you’re going to do it.” Preston was a Woodmore board mem-ber from 1996 to 2001 before taking a super-intendent’s position in Crawford County. Jamie Pearson, district treasurer, has said she’ll be bringing a recommendation to the board this month to seek renewal of an emergency levy originally passed in 2011 that generates $600,000 annually.She also announced recently a special state

audit of the district has begun and is focus-ing on possible misappropriation of funds. Brown, Preston and Rizor all said Woodmore’s fi nances and keeping resi-dents up to date on them will be a chal-lenge for the next board to address. “We need to stabilize our fi nancial sit-uation and fi nd out exactly where we are,” Preston said. “We need to get out more in-formation about our schools and their op-erations for the public to review and ana-lyze.” During a candidates forum last month, Bench said the board will need to address “a lack of transparency” and said the “big white elephant in the room is a lack of trust.” Joe Liszak, a board member, also said Wednesday he would support renewal of the emergency levy but stressed board members will have to work to regain the trust of residents that their tax dollars are being wisely spent.

Contract bidding will be held in the winter or early spring for cleaning up Tous-saint Creek in Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood counties. Mike Libben, program administrator of the Ottawa Soil and Water Conserva-tion District, said the project will include removing log jams and leaning trees from a 34-mile stretch of the creek between Sugar Ridge Road near the City of Bowling Green and Benton-Carroll-Salem Road, west of the Village of Oak Harbor. He estimated the total cost will be about $900,000, which will be paid primar-

Toussaint Creek

Clean-up project in 2016 will cover parts of 3 countiesily through assessments of affected proper-ty owners. The watershed for the creek cov-ers more than 47,000 acres. Almost 5,000 parcels and 3,233 owners are covered by the project. SWCD staffs from the three counties walked the stretch of the creek during the winter and identifi ed more than 200 log jams and about 6,000 dead trees. The project began through a petition initiated last year in Wood County. “Basically it was because of a lot of fl ooding down there and standing water. It took a lot of time for the creek to dry out and there was damage to crops. The peti-tioning landowners in Wood County talked to landowners in Sandusky and Ottawa counties and got them to join in on the pe-

tition. It needed the cooperation of all three counties to make it work. We then formed a joint board of Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors,” Libben said. Property owners will be assessed on a graduated scale with a minimum assess-ment starting at $25. This project dwarfs the Ottawa SWCD’s other clean-up projects. “For us, the next largest was about 1,000 acres in a watershed,” Libben said. “This has been a huge undertaking.” He said the three offi ces combined al-ready have about 2,000 hours of staff time in the project. He said the proposed assessments will be sent to landowners by the end of the year. The owners will have an opportunity

to have a hearing if they think the assess-ments are unfair. Actual work on the creek will likely start next fall, Libben said. Commissioners from the three coun-ties met recently to form a joint board for the project. Wood County commissioner Joel Kuhlman was elected president. The board will be responsible for maintenance collections. A hearing on the project was held in March. The joint board of supervisors then voted to proceeed. Final plans were ap-proved in September.

The degree of freedom you experience is based on your thoughts. Your thoughts will either imprison or empower you. You will only reach those goals if you believe you can. You will never accomplish any-thing you believe is impossible. Your thoughts defi ne the walls which constrain you, not other people or circum-stances. If you believe something is pos-sible, you are right. Conversely, if you be-lieve something is impossible, you are also right. It’s your choice. Many negative thinkers self-identify as being realistic. They consider reasons for failure an objective assessment of a particu-lar situation. They readily cite the odds for failure using examples of people who were unsuccessful as evidence. Negative thinking justifi es failure. Since this approach precludes success, negative thinkers limit their freedom by formulating a list of what isn’t possible. This process constrains their options as to what, if anything, they will accomplish. In your life, you are responsible for the degree of freedom you experience. Whether you are a negative thinker, or you follow the advice of negative thinkers, the results are the same. Negative thinking re-duces your freedom. On the other hand, possibility thinking expands your freedom. Here you are focus-ing on reasons to succeed. You are devot-ing your energy to what you can do. You have a deep seated belief in what is pos-sible. Understanding that anything is possi-ble is the key to this approach. Throughout history, for every instance of naysayers pro-claiming something was impossible, there were people proving them wrong through their accomplishments. Every invention, discovery, breakthrough, and societal ad-vance was the result of possibility thinking. Your thinking is probably limiting you more than you realize. Your self-talk is a window into your mindset. Are you telling yourself what you can do or what you can’t do? Start monitoring exactly what you are saying to yourself. Replace all negative vo-cabulary with positive.

You want to be telling yourself, “I can,” “I will,” “I’m willing to do what it takes,” “It may be hard, but it’s worth it,” and “If I don’t know how I’ll fi nd out.” You must be your own cheerleader. External encourage-ment is nice, but it is your internal drive which is your consistent source of motiva-tion. Choosing freedom means choosing to live life based on your goals, dreams, and

desires. The opinions of others, although ubiquitous, are not part of your decision making process. Your life is your respon-sibility. It’s not necessarily easy to ignore in-put from others, especially when you have a close relationship with them. Although they may be well meaning, no one else is as concerned about your well-being as you are. You are in the best position to deter-mine what you want to achieve. A clear vision of your goals expands your freedom. It enables you to chart a path which is right for you. A detailed pic-ture of where you want to go allows you to formulate a specifi c plan to get there. Making your own decisions is part of freedom. Allowing someone else to do this for you leads to frustration. The only worthwhile advice comes from those peo-

ple who have successfully gone where you want to go. They understand what needs to be done to get there. Make freedom your objective. Decide what you want and how you want to get there. You can attain any goal you set your mind to. A positive mindset, combined with a can do attitude, and followed by ac-tion, is the formula for success. Freedom is your choice and you are free to choose it.

Consider the options To the editor: Understanding that Mercy St. Charles is building a new reha-bilitation center on Navarre Ave., many of the seniors that use the existing pool on Isaac Streets Drive would like to know what will be done with the existing build-ing. Is there any possibility that the City of Oregon could purchase it or lease it, with option to buy? The “new” pool is only go-ing to be 20 x 28 feet, which is one-third the size of the existing pool, and we have heard no guarantee that we seniors can use it for senior fi tness. Most of us have had, or are in therapy in the pool, and have gone on to join the fi tness program for a nominal monthly fee. While we don’t want to interfere with any ongoing therapies; will there be enough room for us too? If you check the rosters, there are quite a few of us that belong on a monthly ba-sis. Everyone is always touting how seniors need to be active and a lot of us aren’t able to walk through the park or work out in a gym, and water exercises are gentler on our

joints, etc. The pool is always at 80-plus degrees, which is also a plus. There are no other pools east of the river that maintain warm water at all times with unlimited times for usage. Please, Oregon, consider the options. You did such a good job with the new se-nior center. Barbara MeyersOregon

A wonderful tradition To the editor: Election Day Tuesday, Nov. 3 was a warm sunny day, and there were still many pretty leaves on the trees, making it a beautiful drive or walk to vote. The best part of Election Day was the delicious meal served at the Woodville Methodist Church, where you could see your neighbors and friends. The members

of the church always have a wonderful craft and bake sale along with the meal, which makes for a wonderful evening. It takes church members hours of prep-aration, and then takes many more to serve the meal and clean up. They are usually unsung heroes, but I want them to know they are appreciated for giving us an op-portunity not to cook. Thank you Woodville Methodist Church for continuing this tradition, for you make many people happy not only in the Woodmore School District, but the sur-rounding area too. Betty Marlow MillerElmore

Funding changes To the editor: I have been accused of being anti-schools. Nothing is further from the truth. Schools are the foundation of our

society. What I am against is the way the schools are funded. Politicians have a bad habit of dropping all funding on the man who chooses to become a good citizen and get a job. He is rewarded by being given the bill to pay for all projects of society. Let’s try and solve this unfair way of doing things. How much is gasoline today? Do we know? Every day, gasoline prices vary. We’ve gone from $2 to $4. We buy our gas because we need it. My thoughts are, state offi cials band together and propose a fi ve-cent school tax. Then fi ve cents on every gallon of gas sold in Ohio gets directly de-posited in a school account. It would not be used for anything but funding of our public schools. How simple a solution. I’m sure there are a hundred or more reasons “that won’t work.” There are al-ways pessimists wanting good ideas to fail. Your children will be the winners. I also believe property taxes on home-steads should not be paid by owners after the age of 80 years. Seems fair.Larry ErardOregon

You’ve seen Bob Gillmor’s work in Russell Crowe’s Master and Commander and you’ll see it in the upcoming Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt HBO series about the Lewis and Clark expedition. You may have also seen it in the mov-ie, Field of Lost Shoes, a Civil War era fi lm starring Lauren Holly and David Arquette. Gillmor is a cannon master and, as America relives its military past, you’ll also see his work in the AMC Revolutionary War Spy Series and in upcoming produc-tions on World War II and the French and Indian War. You can also see Gillmor’s work this Wednesday (Veterans Day) at the Oregon Jerusalem Historical Society’s rededication of its restored World War I cannon. The event will be held at Brandville Museum on Grasser Street in Oregon at 3:30 p.m. U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur will attend. The 75 millimeter cannon was manu-factured in France for the Russian Army. It was used by the Russians against the Germans, captured by the Germans and used against the Belgians and captured by the Belgians, who held the cannon at war’s end. It is believed Belgium’s King Albert presented the cannon to Toledoan Brand Whitlock, former U.S. Minister to Belgium, when the Royal Family visited here in 1919. The cannon was a thank-you gift, ac-cording to Connie Isbell, president of the historical society. Whitlock, along with noted business-man Herbert Hoover, and others founded the Commission for Relief in Belgium, the world’s fi rst humanitarian effort on a large-scale international relief basis. The CRB shipped an estimated 5.2 million tons of food and clothing to the war ravaged na-tion. As a result, Belgium did not suffer the widespread famine experienced by other European countries. The historical society acquired the cannon in 1989 along with the fa-mous Gilbert Gaul painting Battery H 1st Ohio Volunteers Light Artillery in Action at Cold Harbor and other military artifacts once the property of the Toledo Soldiers Memorial Association. The cannon had been stored on the Brandville site, but it was not on display as it was in poor condition. But, when Al Adams, a society member, found cannon

master Gillmor and funds were donated, restoration began. “For a World War I cannon, it’s in re-ally good shape,” Gillmor said. The most diffi cult stage of restoration was rebuilding the wood wheels which had rotted from age. He could have had the Amish build new wooden wheels, but, eventually, they too would have become victims of aging. So, he chose aluminum. Gillmor mixed silica sand with a bond-ing agent to create molds for the casting of the wheels. Each wheel weighs a couple hundred pounds, Gillmor said. They are painted to resemble wood. The rest of the cannon needed just sandblasting and a cou-ple coats of epoxy paint. The cannon and the Gaul painting are just two of the museum’s prized attrac-tions. Isbell says the military room on the museum’s second fl oor has been drawing signifi cant attention since the Gaul paint-ing returned from its three–month loan to the Toledo Museum of Art. The museum showcased the painting as the centerpiece of its 150th remembrance of the end of the Civil War.

Other artifacts include a pistol owned by Peter Navarre, the famous scout of the War of 1812 and some trench art. The 1837 pistol was manufactured by A.H. Waters & Company of Millbury, Massachusetts as a fl intlock and later con-verted to a percussion cap. The .54 caliber gun is the Johnson model. Approximately 20,000 were manufactured between 1837 and 1843. The trench art, also from the Toledo Soldiers Memorial collection, was created by soldiers in World War I. The intricate engraving on one shell memorializes the Battle of Soisson, a successful effort by the French and American forces to elimi-nate a threat to Paris. The fi ve day battle ended with 275,000 casualties between

American, French and German forces. The war was mostly fought in the trenches and during the lull between skirmishes, soldiers amused themselves by painting, etching and sculpting spent shells into artwork, Isbell said. The collection also includes a blouse coat from Frederick Nims, a childhood friend and former aide to George Armstrong Custer. And, an offi cer’s braid once belong-ing to Samuel Sturgis. Col. Sturgis was commander of the 7th U.S. Calvary in 1869. He was on detached duty in St. Louis when Custer led his ill-fated charge at Little Big Horn. The military room also includes a dis-play about 10 local heroes killed in the Vietnam confl ict. Bonnie Olson, trustee and treasurer for the historical society, will give the keynote speech about the cannon Brand Whitlock’s contributions to Belgium. The museum is opened on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or by appointment.

Bacon, of course, is delicious, but pork tenderloin is a Reese family staple and one of the most-preferred swine products of choice for most get-togethers. In fact, pork tenderloin was the subject of intense hoopla in a recent Reese family culinary showdown.

My dad makes tasty pork tenderloin — there is no point in denying this. He was making delicious pork on the grill long before I fi red up my fi rst outdoor propane burner. But, as my generation ages, my brothers and I feel we each have come into our own when making delicious pork tenderloin, surpassing the elder Reese.

In an attempt to settle the ongoing dispute, there was a three-man pork cook-off last summer at the annual family reunion in Mt. Cory (I was not present this year). In the competition, my brothers Aaron and Jeff took on our more experienced father. Those in attendance cast votes.

All reports confi rm the three entries were indeed delicious and the event was enjoyable for all involved, but it was not without controversy. In terms of actual votes, Jeff won narrowly with slow-smoked pork tenderloin glazed with the juice of fresh peaches.

Dad claimed that his pork was the best and that his vote was the only one that mattered since he taught everyone else how to grill it. Aaron felt his entry was the winner based on the fact that none of his pork was left in a “popular vote” kind of victory. Jeff, however, squealed about that conclusion claiming that Aaron’s slices were cut thicker and his pork disappeared simply due to less supply, not greater demand. And, no matter how you slice it, any fi nal conclusion is a moot point because I can personally confi rm that an entry from the best Reese griller of pork was not even represented in the competition.

While there is no doubt that properly prepared pork is delicious, this apparently

Drama ensued when federal prisons began pulling pork

is not the general feeling of inmates in the federal prison system. Despite the fact that October is National Pork Month (Porktober), the Federal Bureau of Prisons implemented its decision to remove pork from the menu at its 122 facilities beginning Oct. 1. The decision was based in part on a survey of inmates about their food preferences and costs. The announcement about removing pork from the menu for the 206,000 federal inmates caused quite a stir.

Understandably, the National Pork Producers Council had some concerns about the decision. NPPC asked the Federal Bureau of Prisons for more details. In a letter sent in mid-October to Bureau of Prisons Director Charles Samuels Jr., NPPC expressed its dismay at the decision and requested a copy of the survey instrument and the results. It also questioned the cost factor, pointing out that pork prices are less than beef and nearly equal to chicken.

“Pork is a very economical, nutrient-dense protein that ought to be a food option for federal prisoners, and the U.S. pork industry has a variety of products that could meet BOP’s needs,” NPPC said in its letter.

The federal pork controversy did not stop there. It did not take long for the decision to get political. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) also sent a letter to Samuels Jr. pointing out the consequences to the nation’s pork industry and the concerns about the decision. Grassley, who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the federal prison system, said in the letter:

“According to a spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons, the decision was based on a survey of prisoners’ food preferences that refl ected that pork has been the ‘lowest-rated food’ by inmates for a number of years.

To corroborate the validity of the claim that prisoners indicated a lack of interest in pork products, I am requesting copies of the prisoner surveys and responses that were used to support the determination to no longer serve pork in federal prisons. Additionally, the spokesman indicated that pork had been the lowest rated food, ‘for several years.’ Please supply the surveys and responses dating back as far as prisoners may have indicated their dislike for pork products. In addition, please provide a line item description of the costs incurred to conduct each survey performed.

The Bureau of Prisons spokesman indicated that pork was expensive to provide. Please provide any economic evaluations the Bureau of Prisons has relied on that detail the cost of pork as compared to beef, chicken, and non-meat products such as tofu and soy products.”

From there, conservative political pundits began questioning the decision and weaving a tale suggesting President Obama was catering to the Islamic community by removing pork from the prison menu. This drew a response from the Islamic community in the Washington Post.

“That this manufactured issue is even a controversy,” said Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, in a statement, “is a clear indicator of the rise in Islamophobic conspiracy theories fueled

by those who seek to demonize Islam and to marginalize American Muslims based on bigotry and misinformation.”

At any rate, after a week or so of high-level prison pork controversy surrounding the abrupt removal of pork dishes from the menu for federal inmates, the government put pork roast back on the prison menu. It seems clear that none of the parties involved in the initial decision about removing pork from federal prisons have been to a Reese family gathering to taste truly delicious pork tenderloin. That could have saved quite a bit of pulled pork drama.

By Melissa BurdenPress Contributing [email protected]

For Hannah Culler, 16, of Northwood, what she eats is literally a matter of life and death. According to her mother, Karen, Hannah was struck with a disabling medi-cal condition after a routine vaccine at age 11. “We went in to get her the Gardasil vaccine and we planned to get ice cream af-terward,” Karen said. “It literally changed her life. Her health and life have spiraled south since then. She passed out cold when she got the vaccine and she could not walk. It never wore off and she can’t go to school. She is in bed or a recliner now.” Karen said that Hannah has developed POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and an underlying MCAD (mast cell activation disorder) as a consequence. “Nobody will say the vaccine is the cause, but they can’t attribute it to anything else,” Karen said. “She was the epitome of health and everything changed that day. She could not walk out of her pediatri-cian’s offi ce.” POTS affects Hannah’s heart, causing it to beat too fast. It leaves her profoundly weak and fatigued, unable to walk at times or even lift her legs up from the bed to put on socks during acute fl airs, Karen said. “POTS causes severe migraine head-aches, joint pain, chest pain, brain fog, pal-pitations and a host of other ailments,” she said. “Even sitting upright produces symp-toms, because it is harder for her heart to pump upstream than when she is lying fl at. Once a competitive cheerleader, Hannah is now confi ned to home and due to her medi-cal condition can no longer even attend school.” MCAD is a life-threatening condition causing “anaphylactic” episodes in the presence of many stimuli. According to Karen, these include heat, cold, medicines, food, strong smells and odors, contrast dye, and orthostatic change in blood pressure due to her POTS. “Her life-threatening episodes can hap-pen for no known reason,” she explained. “Hannah has spent most of the last few years in the hospital. There is no cure.” As bad as the POTS is, the episodes from MCAD are the scariest part for Hannah and her family. “For no reason, Hannah will have atypical anaphylactic episodes,” Karen said. “Her heart rate jumps to 250 beats per minute. She gets hives, severe chest pain, nausea, and her feet and hands go purple. The episodes are an emergency and she needs help right away.” With each “episode” Hannah’s life is in profound danger. “Each episode causes damage to her or-gans,” Karen explained. “If she can survive the episode, the damage cannot be erased. Over time she will go into multi-organ fail-ure. We pray the Lord will take her with an

episode so her suffering will not be so bad. It is hard to watch your child suffer all of the time.” The family was able to make a trip last month to Minnesota to see renowned specialist Dr. Lawrence Afrin, a thanks to a couple who paid for an Angel Flight.

According to Karen, the physician has suggested a mix of chemotherapy drugs that may help, but not cure Hannah. “They really don’t know if these ‘che-mo cocktails’ will help,” she said. “There is no cure, so it is all clinical trials. If the trial one drug doesn’t help, they will try an-

other. Of course, many don’t survive these trials but Dr. Afrin told us many of his pa-tients get better and have fewer episodes. That is what we want to focus on. Our trip gave Hannah hope and if that is all we left with, it was worth the trip.” Because food is a signifi cant life-threat-ening “trigger” for MCAD, Hannah has been prescribed a pure diet to help minimize her life-threatening episodes. The goal of treat-ment is to minimize her episodes by re-moving as many “triggers” as possible from her diet and her environment. Her medical team has prescribed an all-organic diet free of nitrates, preserva-tives, dyes, dairy and gluten. She is not permitted to have beef, as it is a common trigger. Hannah is able to eat venison when it is not mixed with anything else due to its natural and organic content. Jeff Culler, Hannah’s father and a Northwood fi refi ghter, has put up a fl ier at Takacs Grocery and Meats in East Toledo asking for donations of venison. “It is the only meat she can eat and Takacs always makes sure there is noth-ing but pure deer meat for her,” Jeff said. “We are down to 15 pounds of meat in our freezer right now so we are hoping that we can get up to 100 pounds or more donated for her.” Since she has begun to eat venison, Hannah’s episodes have been cut by 50 per-cent, Karen said. Donations of venison can be made at Takacs Grocery and Meats located at 1956 Genesee St., in Toledo. For more informa-tion or to make a donation, call Takacs at 419-693-9233. Donation information can also be found by calling Jeff Culler at 419-466-4111.

A fundraiser to benefi t a pair of local “twincess-es” who are battling a rare childhood cancer is being planned for Saturday, Nov. 14 at Foundation Stone Church, 4532 Woodville Rd., Northwood. Adriyana and Averyana Monroe were diagnosed in August with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Since then, the identical twins, who turned 2 in September, have undergone two rounds of chemotherapy. They are currently being treated at Toledo Children’s Hospital, but may require future treat-ments in Columbus, accord-ing to Carol Barrett, family friend and organizer of the benefi t at the church, where the Monroe family attends. The girls’ parents, Jennifer and Adrian Monroe,

live in Toledo. Jennifer grew up in Oregon. “We wanted to do some-thing to help them,” Barrett said. “Adrian has to go to work and Jennifer is focused on caring for the twins as well as the couple’s four older children.” The benefi t, which will run from 3-8 p.m., will be a TailGate Bash complete with college football on TV, burg-ers, brats, hot dogs, nachos and more. Home-baked des-serts will also be available. In addition, there will be gift basket and 50/50 raffl es and a silent auction. Food and raffl e tickets will start at $1 each. Funds raised will go toward medical expenses. Donations may also be sent to a fund set up for the family at the church. Call 419-693-5102 for info.

Sundays at 11am & 6pm

When Jesus advised his disciples to pray in the

confines and secrecy of their rooms, He was giving this

advice as part of a broader criticism of public displays of

piety. The first verse of the sixth chapter of Matthew tells

us to “Beware of practicing your piety before men in

order to be seen by them; for then you will have no

reward from your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew

6.1) We probably cannot rid ourselves of all public

displays of religion, unless we were to stop going to

church and refrained from praying with others

altogether. And, it is not the public nature of prayer that

Jesus is railing against here so much as it is the puffed

up, hypocritical, almost boasting attitude of the person

who prays to make a show of it. In the Bible, Jesus

frequently criticizes those, like the Pharisees, who

make a pretentious show of their faith. In those days,

this was likely to mean praying loudly in the

synagogues, advertising one’s charity, or wearing

broad phylacteries boxes (strapped around one’s head

or arm and containing quotes from scripture). Even

today, one does not have to look hard to find the modern

counterpart to these actions. Are there aspects of our

faith which are intended for others to see? If so, we have

our reward already. But when you give alms, do not let

your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so

that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who

sees in secret will reward you. R.S.V. Matthew 6.3-4

And while once upon a time it may have been a pleas-ant “over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go,” today it’s more likely to be bad traffi c jams, long air-port security lines and fl ight delays over which you will have no control. While there’s no way to eliminate these transportation headaches, there are things you can do to control and minimize the stress they can bring. First is simply accepting what you can and cannot control. No matter how angry or stressed you get, that traffi c jam isn’t going to disappear, the TSA line won’t suddenly shrink, and that big storm delaying your fl ight won’t magically vanish. Instead, look for things you can con-trol in order to lower your stress level. If it’s a traffi c jam, start playing a word game or singing silly songs with the family. If

If you have ever had chickenpox or been vaccinated for it, you are at risk for get-ting shingles – a painful, blistering rash. This is because after the chickenpox clears, the virus stays in the body. If the vi-rus reactivates, or wakes up, you could get shingles. “Although shingles is much less conta-gious and itchy than chickenpox, it tends to cause more pain,” said board-certifi ed der-matologist Daniela Kroshinsky, MD, MPH, FAAD, assistant professor of dermatology, Harvard Medical School. “In addition, al-though the shingles rash usually clears in a few weeks, some people can experience pain, numbness, itching and tingling that can last months or even years.” According to dermatologists from

Dermatologists share tips for recognizing, treating shinglesthe American Academy of Dermatology (Academy), common signs and symptoms of shingles include: • An area of skin that burns, itches, tin-gles or feels very sensitive: This usually oc-curs in a small area on one side of the body and lasts one to three days. • A rash that begins as red spots and quickly turns into groups of clear, painful blisters: These may turn yellow or bloody before they scab over and heal. • Flu-like symptoms: A fever or head-ache may occur with the rash. • Pain: Sometimes, the pain is bad enough for a doctor to prescribe medication. The pain tends to lessen once the blisters heal, which can take two to three weeks. To help relieve shingles pain and dis-

comfort, the Academy recommends the fol-lowing tips: • See a board-certifi ed dermatologist as soon as symptoms appear. A dermatolo-gist may prescribe anti-viral medicine and a medicine to help reduce the pain more quickly. When used within 72 hours of the rash appearing, these medications may make symptoms milder and shorter. • Cool the rash with ice packs, cool wet cloths, or cool baths. • Gently apply calamine lotion to the rash and blisters. Never pick at, scratch or pop the blisters, as the fl uid within the blis-ters can be contagious and blisters help your skin heal. • Cover the rash with loose, non-stick, sterile bandages.

• Wear loose, cotton clothing around the body parts that hurt. Dr. Kroshinsky also advises those who suspect they may have shingles to avoid contact with women who are pregnant and anyone who has not had chickenpox or has not been vaccinated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 1 million Americans experience shingles each year, and the disease is most common in older adults. For more details, look for “Shingles: Pain Management,” a video posted to the Academy website and the Academy’s YouTube channel. The video is part of the Dermatology A to Z: Video Series.

Tips for making holiday travel less stressful

driving alone, turn on the radio and count to 10. The idea in any such stressful situ-ation is to refocus your anger and frustra-tion. Instead of being mad in that TSA line, silently scan those around you and try to guess where they’re going, what their job is, or why they dressed like that to go in public. Airport delays are common, but some-times planning can help minimize prob-lems. Try booking an early fl ight, when airports are often less crowded. This also

leaves some extra time to handle a delayed, cancelled or over-booked fl ight. And if your fl ight does get cancelled, experts advise using your cell phone to call the airline, or use the airline’s app, rather than getting angry as you wait in that long line to the harassed ticket agent. If you’ll be traveling with kids, wheth-er by plane or car, a little pre-planning can help avoid hungry, complaining, unhappy children adding to the stress. Bring along snacks, reading materials, maybe a game or two to keep them fed and occupied. When fl ying, learn the rules. In today’s world of extra security check what can go in carry-on luggage and what can’t. Know that wrapped presents may have to be opened at security. Holiday travel doesn’t have to be high stress, even if that holiday dinner with Uncle Ed probably will be anyway.“Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

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 is an excerpt from his blog, which you can follow by going to presspublica-tions.com and clicking on the icon on the upper right.

Hello All . . . from Kitty Hawk,

It wasn’t much of a fl ight really - 12 seconds, 120 feet - in a machine that looked more kite than aircraft. Orville, lying fl at on his stomach on the lower wing; Wilber run-ning along side to steady the right wing as the machine began its slide down the launching rail. Ever so slowly the two pro-pellers thrust man and machine forward against a 27 mph wind. And then . . . tenta-tively, with just 10 feet of elevation but still taking fl ight, the Wright Flyer soared into history, accomplishing what humans had dreamed of for centuries. It was only 12 seconds, but it was 12 seconds that would make the world vastly different in the com-ing century. On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved what they had been working on for four years, and dreamed of since they were youngsters in Dayton, Ohio. The two bicycle mechanics used all their research skills, mechanical ability, innovative spirit, and downright genius to do what no one had done before, and thus open a new age of aviation. How lucky we all were that the surf man, John T. Daniels, from the local life saving station came running that day when the brothers signaled that they needed some help. He had never taken a photograph be-fore, or even seen a camera. But following Wilbur’s directions, he squeezed the bulb at the right moment - and what a photo he took - one of the most famous in the his-tory of photography. (The Wrights had no idea what he had snapped until weeks later

U.S. Perimeter Ride

Bicyclist at Outer Banks, recalls most famous bicycle mechanics

back in their photo lab in Dayton.) How appropriate that I arrived at Kill Devil Hills - the site of the First Flight - on my bicycle. A fellow visitor made that com-ment, as I seemed to be the only one about on a bike. It wasn’t until he made that com-ment that the irony struck me. I had just seen the original Wright Flyer at the Smithsonian two weeks ago, and now here I was where that machine actually took fl ight from the sands of the Outer Banks. Like that “shot heard round the world” at Concord Bridge in 1775, the 12 second First Flight in 1903 is one of those seminal events of humankind that af-

fects all of us one way or another. Backtracking to last week, after three days of rain in Williamsburg, I set out early for a beautiful dawn ride along the Colonial Parkway which connects Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Jamestown. Part of the route follows the course of the James River, Virginia’s longest and broadest watercourse, as it seeks to empty into the Chesapeake Bay. At that early hour, I was one of the few vehicles on the Parkway, and it was like riding a huge bicycle path and having it all to myself. My destination was the James River Ferry, the only way for a bicyclist to get off the peninsula formed

by the York and James Rivers (no bicycles on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge). As the fer-ry pulled away from the Jamestown pier, I had a good view of the three small replica ships - the Discovery, Godspeed, and Susan Constant - that brought those fi rst English colonists in 1607 to the New World, and I wondered how they must have felt stepping for the fi rst time into the wilderness of an unknown continent. Were they frightened, hopeful, apprehensive, homesick, excited to begin a new life in a new land? Probably all of those to some degree. Following mostly back roads, under sunny skies, and very comfortable riding temps to Suffolk, VA, I spent a day volun-teering with Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads. Two houses were going up on the site, and seven more were to follow. So this was a framing day, and when I had my turn at the nail gun, I endeavored not to drive a nail through my foot which would make for some very uncomfortable riding. Gray skies overhead and the threat of rain - lots of it - accompanied my arrival on the Outer Banks. Riding in a steady rain, I dropped in on Warm Showers hosts Tom and Linda who greeted me warmly and shared their home, some good wine and food, and good company. These last few days have been a bit de-pressing, riding under dark and brooding skies and a constant threat of rain, and the shortened days always make me keep one eye on my watch, not wanting to be caught in the dark without a place to lay my head for the night - always a concern, and one that is quite stressful. But my time spent with the Wright Brothers make up for the dark, because of the light of their achievement - these two bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio. Proceeding On, Southward along The Outer Banks . . .

Gift Certificates make great gifts

By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing Writer

Jayme Cox and Stephanie Sylvester not only have the distinction of playing on the second-ranked St. Ursula Academy vol-leyball team this season. The two Oregon natives have known each other since they were 6 years old, and coincidentally they are playing on the last Arrows volleyball team that legendary coach John Buck will ever coach. Buck, who has been SUA’s coach for 20 years, announced his retirement in May, saying he wants to spend more time with his four grandchildren. That was all the team needed to hear. “We defi nitely had extra motivation,” said Sylvester, a senior setter. “We want his last year to be his best year. That’s motivat-ed us a lot.” Buck, 58, entered Wednesday night’s Division I regional semifi nal match against Notre Dame Academy with a 476-68 record and 10 appearances in the state fi nal four. The Arrows have won two state titles under Buck and fi nished second twice. Players like Cox and Sylvester are good examples of why SUA has had so much success in the postseason. The Arrows (23-2) advanced to Saturday’s regional fi nals with a three-set semifi nal win over Notre Dame Academy. Buck said Cox, a junior libero and the

Oregon girls lead Arrows to state regional semi-fi nal win

Three Rivers Athletic Conference Player of the Year, is the “heart of our defense and a gifted athlete.” “Jayme is a fi erce competitor and can control that and play with the team,” Buck said. “She can do it all in that back row, and she just has a knack of making hard plays look easy. It’s such a treat to watch her use her skills in the gym. I’ve never had anybody quite like her. She is one of those athletes who come around every 20 years. “To watch her maturity from seventh grade to now, she’s just a remarkable young lady and it’s nice as a coach to see that hap-pen. She sees team fi rst instead of (seeking) individual recognition.”

Cox, a two-time fi rst-team All-TRAC selection, said being named the confer-ence’s top player “meant a lot and it feels great,” yet she still credited her team for helping her win the award. “I never would have gotten there with-out my team,” she said. “I haven’t really thought about individual goals, but focus-ing on team, team, team. A lot of it comes from Coach. He is really big on team. When I was younger it was all about myself. I played for him when I was 12 and 13, at the Toledo Volleyball Club, and he helped me become more of a team player and helped me in the volleyball world.” Cox, who attended Oregon schools through the sixth grade, said it took a few weeks for the veteran players and the infu-sion of new players to jell this season. “One of the biggest goals was coming in and being able to fi gure out how to be with each teammate on and off the court,” Cox said. “Some kids react differently to criticism. I wanted to learn how to become a better teammate. I’m getting better at it, but there are still some things I need to con-tinue to improve on.” Sylvester, a 5-foot-8 setter, attended Oregon schools through the eighth grade and was a fi rst-team All-TRAC selection this season after being named to the second team a year ago. “As a senior, I wanted to be on fi rst team,” she said, adding that providing

leadership on the fl oor was one of her big goals in 2015. “I’m in all six rotations and I’m kind of like the quarterback of the team,” Sylvester said. “Coach Buck tells me I am. I feel like the quarterback, that I should lead the team, like telling the hitters and passers ‘good job.’ I think I do a good job leading my team. I talk to my teammates. I tell my hitters where they should hit and what shots are open. “There are only a couple games where I’ve been kind of off and my team helped me pick myself up. I get hard on myself when I make a mistake. I went to Jayme and she picks me up and makes me laugh. Jayme is very competitive, but she’s the kind of person who can pick you up when you’re down.” Buck said that Sylvester, as the team’s only setter on the court, has done a good job learning how to direct her teammates. “This is her second year as a starter, and it’s been nice to see her evolve. When the kids start on varsity, it’s kind of like drinking out of a fi re hose because you’re learning so fast. You need a calming per-son on the fl oor as a quarterback and that’s what she’s able to do. She’s like an exten-sion of the coach on the fl oor.” Sylvester has made a verbal agreement to play volleyball at Wheeling (W. Va.) Jesuit College next fall, where she will ma-jor in computer science.

Clay looksforwardto 2016By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing Writer

Clay’s girls soccer team reached the Division I district semifi nals last season, losing to Notre Dame Academy in a 2-1 heart breaker. Last week, Coach Don Hess and his Eagles reached the district fi nals with a 2-1 overtime win over Sylvania Northview. It was the fi rst district semifi nal victory in school history. Last Thursday, Clay faced its toughest test of the season, against third-ranked Perrysburg in the district fi nals, and came out on the losing end of a 4-0 score. Clay should return 12 juniors from this year’s team in 2016, and the Eagles’ goals will be very high, according to Hess. “We’re just trying to take that next step,” he said. That “next step” means reaching the regional tournament, where Clay will surely face teams as talented as Perrysburg. The Eagles fi nished 12-4-3 overall and 6-1 (second) in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference this season, with half of those losses coming against Perrysburg and sixth-ranked Strongsville (3-1 on Oct. 10). Clay beat Mansfi eld Madison 2-1 in overtime to win the sectional before

disposing of Northview to set up the district title game against Perrysburg. The Yellow Jackets scored just before the end of the fi rst half to take a 3-0 lead, and the Eagles couldn’t generate any offense in the second half. “It wouldn’t surprise me if they win the whole thing,” Hess said of the Jackets. “They’re talented at every position, with a

lot of depth. Their subs are sometimes as good as their starters. We didn’t give up. The kids played hard from start to fi nish. Our whole goal is to be playing well in October. We wanted to get to the district fi nals. Our goal next year is to be playing in November, in the regional. Anything can happen.” Clay graduates just two seniors this

season in midfi elder Haley Dominique and backup keeper Shawnee Canada. Hess said there is a 28-day no-contact period for coaches and players after the season ends. After that, he said, the Eagles “plan on working on getting physically stronger” because the strongest teams can usually be found competing at the regional level year after year. “We beat Northview, but after we went up 1-0 they tried to beat the heck out of us,” Hess said. “Physically, Perrysburg’s got some size on us as well. We defi nitely have to get physically stronger. The girls (also) have to continue to touch the soccer ball in the offseason, and we have a summer program where we’re playing quite a bit.” Karleigh Clere, who led the team with 38 points, and Reagan Clark both earned fi rst-team All-TRAC and all-district honors this season. Sami Heintschel was named fi rst-team all-conference, Olivia Hornyak and Marisa Vislay got second-team honors and Hannah Jehany, Hailey Clere and Sydney Hess were named honorable mention. Heintschel also made the all-district second team, and Hornyak was an honorable mention selection.

Junior-laden Rockets fi nish 16-4, looking forward to next season By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing Writer

Oak Harbor boys soccer coach Ken Filar and his assistant, Ryan Lacer, had a talk with the Rockets a while back. It was kind of a pep talk, but it was also a reality check. “We used our previous early outs in the postseason as a reminder that you have to learn from the past or be doomed to repeat it,” Filar said. “We have a couple seniors who have been on varsity for four years, and we have 14 juniors in the program. We’re a very junior-heavy class. Only three seniors start, and one sophomore. We have seven juniors who start and three or four others who get signifi cant playing time.” This bodes well for the future, but what about this year? The Rockets’ (16-4) season ended Wednesday night against Elida in the Division II regional semifi nals at Findlay High School. Elida, a member of the Western Buckeye League, beat the Rockets in two overtimes to advance to Saturday’s regional fi nals. Oak Harbor reached the boys’ regional tournament for the fi rst time in school his-tory with last week’s 6-1 rout of Napoleon in the district championship game. The Rockets advanced to the district tourna-ment in 2012, ‘13 and ‘14. The 2013 squad fi nished 16-1-1, with its only loss coming against Maumee, 2-1, in overtime, in the district semifi nals. Last year’s team lost to Bowling Green, 3-1, in the district semis. This year the Rockets tied a school record for victories, claimed their third straight Sandusky Bay Conference title (with a 10-0 record) and outscored op-ponents by a 99-19 margin. “We had couple of tough years and we knew we had a good junior class and a good senior class (this year),” said Filar, in his fi fth season. “The juniors wanted to do the best they can for the seniors. I didn’t know how we were going to do this year, but they surpassed my expectations.”

One unexpected addition to the start-ing unit this season was senior right out-side defender Nick Nye, who played on the junior varsity squad a year ago. “Nick stepped up and got a starting job,” Filar said. “We didn’t know what to expect out of him this year. Something clicked, and he’s taken off and he’s been huge for us.” Juniors Nate Poiry (35 goals, 19 assists) and Liam Hall (19 goals, 15 assists) and sophomore Nick Damron (15 goals, 11 as-sists) provided the bulk of the scoring.

“Liam and Tyler Bowlick (9 goals, 10 assists) are our centers and they control the middle of the fi eld for us,” Filar said. “We put them there last year as sophomores be-cause we knew what we’d have down the road. They are two totally opposite players, but they work off each other fantastically and it’s fun to watch them. They both work really hard.” Oak Harbor has been known for its defense over the last several years, and this season was no different. Prior to Wednesday, the Rockets allowed just 18

goals in 19 games and much of the credit goes to junior defenders Donovan Damron, Zach Hess and Quintin DeWalt, Nye and senior keeper Kyle Draper. “We’re not the fastest defenders, but we’re not slow,” Filar said. “They play very smart, they work together and they know how to play as a unit. They’re also good at individual defending. They cover for each other very well, and they use Kyle Draper (91 saves) as a fi fth defender.” The Rockets, who lost their fi rst two games of the season, posted nine shutouts.

Rockets drop regional fi nal, but return seven starters next yearBy Mark Griffi nPress Contributing Writer

Oak Harbor’s girls soccer team was two wins away from repeating what the Rockets accomplished in 2013, advancing to the state semifi nals. Oak Harbor had to fi rst get past Celina on Tuesday in the Division II regional semifi nals at Findlay High School. The Rockets fell short, 2-1, and saw their season end with a 16-2-2 record. Celina (16-4) advanced to Saturday’s regional fi nal against Ontario (18-2). “We played well, we just couldn’t get another (shot) to go in,” Oak Harbor coach Renee Goldstein said. “My defense was solid all year and kept us in many games, and (Tuesday) night was no different.” Alexa Weis scored the lone goal for the Rockets, off an assist from Emma Barney. “Going 16-2-2 is a great season, and winning districts was amazing,” Goldstein said. “I wish we would’ve gone further, and I am disappointed for the girls. But, they are a great group of girls who worked together.” Top-seeded Oak Harbor beat No. 2 Central Catholic, 4-1, last Saturday in the district championship game at Lake. The Rockets, who tied Woodmore and lost to Notre Dame Academy to start the season, had gone 16-0-1 prior to Tuesday’s regional loss. They outscored the opposition by a 90-20 margin this season, with fi ve girls scoring eight or more goals. Barney scored 12 goals with nine assists to lead the Rockets in scoring, while Noelle Petersen had 11 goals, Weis and Paige Velliquette had nine goals apiece and Abbie Mizelle added eight. “This season has been great despite one of my strongest midfi elders and one of my leading scorers (Velliquette) were injured and out the majority of the season,”

Goldstein said. “With those players out, I felt we did extremely well off the bench. They played an exceptional game (Tuesday) and so did the rest of the team.”

Last year’s team fi nished 10-4-4, losing in the sectional fi nals to Archbold (4-3). Next year’s squad will return seven starters. “They got along very well this year,”

Goldstein said. “They did a lot of team bonding and hung out together. With all our injuries to key players, our bench stepped up to the challenge and did very well.”

One of Mateo Flores’ individual goals this season was to be the best cornerback in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. It would be a crime if Flores, a senior who had six interceptions last year, wasn’t voted to the All-TAAC fi rst team this season (voting was not completed as of Tuesday). Flores has been a do-everything performer for the Golden Bears this season, on de-fense, offense and in the kicking game. “I knew I had to make some big plays,” Flores said. “I got honorable mention (All-TAAC) last year and got six interceptions. I set a goal this year that I was going to work my butt off and get as many big plays as I can.” Flores, who transferred to Gibsonburg from Waite after his freshman year, did not play football his fi rst two years in high school. He has, however, more than made up for his absence over the past two seasons. “Mateo is a very versatile player on the offensive side of the ball,” Gibsonburg coach Steve Reser said. “His main posi-tion is at slot receiver, but we will also line him up at running back or motion him into the backfi eld from his receiver position. Defensively, he plays our tough corner po-sition, putting him normally to the multi-ple-receiver side. On special teams he is both a kick and punt returner and it’s very exciting to watch a return when he’s given the chance.” The 5-foot-8, 155-pound Flores leads the Bears with eight interceptions and has 37 tackles, one fumble recovery and seven pass breakups. On offense, he has 17 catch-es for 178 yards and three touchdowns and has carried the ball nine times for 108 yards (12.0 yard average) and one TD. He has returned 12 punts for an 8.3 yard average and one score, and has three kick returns for 39 yards. Flores returned an interception for a touchdown against Tiffi n Calvert, and his average return yards on his eight intercep-tions is 22.5 yards.

Gibsonburg wins TAAC

Versatile Flores makes contributions on both sides of ball

“The fi rst thing I do (after an intercep-tion) is say, ‘I gotta get to the end zone,’ ” Flores said. “I just made a big play, so when I catch it I look for the end zone. I defi nitely look for my blockers. They’re doing great blocking for me, even on kickoffs and punts and everything I do.” Flores credited his quick maturation

in the secondary to assistant coach Zack Hawkins and fellow senior Marcus Tille, a three-year starter at corner. Tille has 44 tackles this season, with four interceptions and seven pass breakups. “Last year he really helped me, him and coach Hawk both,” Flores said. “Marcus had experience and he told me

what to look for - coverages, zones, how to backpedal. He’s been a big help. He’s one of our best receivers and I cover him in prac-tice. He’s made me a better corner.” Reser said one thing that stands out with Flores is the confi dence he has in his ability. “He’s a tough nut, has great quick-ness and has an ability to adjust and re-cover well enough that he can take some aggressive risks at cornerback,” Reser said. “Mateo has a great work ethic and doesn’t say much on the fi eld. He’s rather soft-spo-ken off the fi eld as well, but once he starts talking he is a funny kid. Defi nitely one of the more personable players on the team. He wants to put himself and his team in po-sition to win on every down.” Gibsonburg beat Hilltop 48-18 last Friday to fi nish 10-0 and become the fi rst Golden Bear squad to fi nish with an unde-feated regular season since 1999. Gibsonburg also won the TAAC champi-onship outright and qualifi ed for the state playoffs for the fi rst time since 2001. The Bears host Van Buren (7-3) in the fi rst round of the Division VI playoffs on Saturday night. Flores said it was a relief to reach the postseason after missing the playoffs in 2014 despite a 9-1 record. “It means a lot,” he said. “At the beginning of the season I said we were going to the playoffs. I was confi dent in our team. I knew we could do it. It’s very exciting we made it this far and we’re just looking to keep going. We’ve been working for this for a long time.” Flores said he’s glad he got to play for Gibsonburg these past two years, and add-ed that his senior season pretty much went as he envisioned. “I love it here,” he said. “The school’s great. The community is great. All the sports programs are great. I tried to play my best in every game. Whatever I could do to make the team better, I did it. I wasn’t wor-ried about getting the ball, because I will do anything to win. I was just playing my role and doing what the coaches said.”

By J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected] Last year, Northwood freshman cross country runner Trinity Fowler would not have been eligible to compete for the Rangers. She would not have been eligible any other year before that, either. This year, the Ohio High School Athletic Association is allowing home-schooled athletes like Fowler to compete for the public school district they live in, and Fowler has taken advantage.

Fowler, who ran with St. Kateri mid-dle school girls in CYO races last year, won the Toledo Area Athletic Conference race at Maumee Bay State Park by nearly a minute, fi nishing in 19:07.16 (school record) to eas-ily defeat runner-up Morgan Dembowski (20:06.55) from Toledo Christian.

“She took it up strong on the hill and was in the lead for the entire time. She is a very strong runner. She puts in nine or 10 miles almost every day in the summer time,” said Northwood coach Kelley Wills. “You can tell she has a runner mentality.”

Fowler said she “went out fast” and just tried to keep everyone behind her. She did just that — they were way behind her.

Fowler followed that by winning the Division III district meet at Ammons Reservoir in Galion, fi nishing in 19:35.25 to defeat another freshman, Keely Wentz (19:42.59) from Carey. She fi nished 5th at regionals with a time of 19:11 to qualify for a trip to state.

“It’s such a fast district. We are such a strong running community,” Wills said. “If you get out of the region, you are going to be among the top in the state.”

Fowler’s times have improved by over three minutes since she fi rst ran the Otsego Invite (22:19) on Sept. 5, but she’s not alone.

On Northwood’s team, there are a slew of runners who have improved their times by three, even by over fi ve minutes since the start of the season. Following the district meet, there were 58 personal re-cords set this season, shaving a total time of 53:03. The majority ran new PRs at the districts.

“Those kinds of numbers come through because they are working hard at practice together. We’re pretty proud of them,” Will said.

Wills says it is the addition of Fowler which has made a difference with the rest of the team, too.

“Trinity has a lot of speed, but Trinity has allowed us to focus on quality work,” Wills said. “When she was out there run-ning, we can say, ‘Go get her’ and it’s real-ly pulled the team along. So, she’s been a great impetus for our team.”

JoJo Dunbar, sophmore, who fi nished 10th at the TAAC meet (22:05.73) and 22nd at districts (22:24.61), credits Fowler as

BOYS

Fowler, Ranger harriers dramatically improve times

the reason her times have improved over a minute and a half since the opening meet.

“If I didn’t have Trinity, I proba-bly wouldn’t even be running this fast,” Dunbar said. “It’s nice having someone you can strive to beat. I want to be in the teens (19 or 18 minutes) by my senior year and make it to the state championship.”

Wills says Fowler has set her own list of goals, one of which is to get her times into the 17-minute range. In addition, being part of a team competing at the high school level is a new experience, but a good one, Trinity says.

“It pushes me more, and we can push each other,” Fowler said. “I like this better and I feel as if I have to push myself more.”

Jump start programFor Wills, this is jump starting the en-

tire program. She has six girls and 10 boys on the high school team — more than she has ever seen before.

“As a team, we’ve really come a long way,” Wills said. “For the fi rst time in a long time, we were racing with teams. So we were able to have a team mentality — how do we get points instead of just trying to do better?

“We call it, ‘The fastest growing team at Northwood,’ and you can quote me on that. We have zero seniors, so we’ll lose nobody to graduation, and we’re building a program down below so that we can go ahead and increase the numbers here.”

Wills started seeing the success begin during the offseason.

“In the offseason, we have fun runs throughout the summer. I call them ‘fun runs,’ but anyone throughout the school and the community is invited, so we’re trying to keep them running. I have been working on trying to build the program for about six years,” Wills said.

“When I took it over, there were only a couple of kids. My focus was trying to change the culture into running is fun and the kids that I have embraced that and have run with it. So, I would say that with these new recruits, that they have gone out and brought in others and we do have a lot of fun.”

Wills, who ran track at Lake but didn’t begin long distance running until age 33, said her 16 high school runners, and sev-en more at the middle school level, really kicked their conditioning into gear once the season began.

They have two practices weekly off campus, traditionally going to the City of Northwood’s Nature Trails Park on Curtice Road for one and to Pearson Park for an-other on Thursday nights, with occasional workouts at Maumee Bay State Park. There are other locations that are a little different because there is little room on campus for running several miles.

“We do funny things, like our hill work is all done on the overpass at Interstate 280 and we do a lot of speed work on the track. The coaches’ philosophy is quality instead of quantity, and we put in a lot of really hard type of miles, two miles, and focus on speed,” Wills said.

Wills expects the program to continue its growth this upcoming offseason.

“We’re going to add miles in the sum-mer and continue working to get PRs. The majority of the runners have improved ev-ery single race and that’s the kind of thing we want to see happen—consistent im-provement. We’re always focused on the PR, doing your best, fi guring out what your race is, pacing,” Wills said.

On Nov. 7, Fowler will compete in the state cross country meet at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio.

She took it up strong on the hill and was in the lead for the entire

time. She is a very strong runner.

Two years ago, then-Clay sophomore Haley Hess knew that when then-senior Erin Gyurke graduated, she was going to play the role of team leader. Since, Gyurke has become a standout long distance runner at Ohio State, while Hess, now a senior, has earned her fourth trip to Ohio’s Division I state cross country meet Nov. 7. Hess, last year’s Alan Miller Jewelers Cross Country All-Press Athlete of the Year, won two consecutive major events, taking the Three Rivers Athletic Conference with a personal record time of 18 minutes and 30 seconds, and she followed that with a dis-trict championship time of 18:47.1. Both were blowout wins. At the TRAC meet in Lima, she fi nished 42 seconds ahead of runner-up Stephanie Sherman (19:12), a Notre Dame senior, with both setting the pace for 51 runners. “It was a tough course — lots of hills,” Hess said. “I had a weekend off, so I came in fresh and that was nice. The girl who fi nished second (Sherman), she kind of pushed the fi rst mile, so that helped.” Haley’s coach, and uncle, Dave Hess, added, “It was a pretty challenging course. I talked to several of the coaches, and every-one seemed to feel it was a tough course and probably ran slower than the course at Fremont (previous TRAC meets), so Haley’s 18:30 is really good on that course and hon-estly, we had 11 PRs out of 23 kids who ran. So, their running well at the right time and we had a couple season bests on top of that.” At the Clay-hosted Pearson Metropark district meet, Hess was over 28 seconds ahead of runner-up Jenna Kill, a Sylvania Northview runner who fi nished in 19:15.2. The regional meet was to be held at Hedges Boyer Park, Tiffi n, on Oct. 31. Coach Hess believes Haley can improve on her tenth place fi nish at state from a year ago. He says that Haley has upgraded her training to make it happen. “She’s made a change this year, where in the spring we started doing long runs every

Haley Hess back at it — on fourth trip to state

other Sunday and it’s carried over into the fall,” Coach Hess said. “She did her best 10-mile long run, and I think that mileage is starting to pay off. She is stronger, she is still churning out at a high level right now and hopefully she’ll peak at the right time. “She’s running well. Michigan State, she had a tough race there when we ran there, but she’s bounced back there since we ran that race. It was a big meet. There are always good runners at the state meet. It will sort itself out in the next few weeks.” At state her junior year, Haley fi nished in tenth place with a time of 18:33.94. It was not her fastest time of the season –

she had ran 18:31 while taking fourth at the regional meet – but it was close. And it was enough for her to earn fi rst-team All-Ohio status for the second straight year. Hess fi nished sixth in 18:41.39 as a sophomore and 56th as a freshman in 2012, in 19:05.09. She ran with her Clay teammates at the 2012 and ‘13 state meets, but the Eagles were unable to qualify as a team last year. Hess said running by her-self “didn’t affect me.” This year, the Eagles qualifi ed as a team for the regional and had a shot at reaching state as a team. In the TRAC team race this year, it was Notre Dame and Clay, as usual, competing for the top two spots, with Notre Dame tak-ing its third league title. In the fi ve-year his-

tory of the TRAC, Clay has the other two championships. “Notre Dame was defi nitely the better team this year and they were a little deep-er than us, but we have made progress,” Coach Hess said. Notre Dame scored 41, Clay was run-ner-up with 67 points, followed by Central Catholic (88), Findlay (96), St. Ursula (98), Whitmer (149) and Fremont Ross (151). For Clay, junior Sydney Hess was 13th at 20:45, senior Hannah Hess 14th at 20:47, junior Caitlyn Kuecher was 17th at 20:54, freshman Alaina Leaniewicz 22nd at 21:11, junior Marissa Niezgoda 28th at 21:32 and junior Madison Miller 42nd at 23:18. Coach Hess believes a long year of training is paying off. “We’re getting better, it just takes some time. I ask a lot of them. We come to Maumee Bay (State Park) once a week to concentrate on hills. We’re not doing as many hills now as we were a month ago,” Coach Hess said, adding that hill-work time has been reduced because his runners are well-conditioned now and he wants to keep them rested for championship meets. Coach Hess believes Haley, like Erin Gyurke, is running fast enough to com-pete at the NCAA Division I level, and it is Haley’s goal to run cross country and long distance track in college. Coach Hess’ boys team, led by 13th place fi nisher Adam Burns (17:14), a se-nior, placed seventh as a team at the league meet, and Burns ran in 17:16.1 to fi nish 12th at the district meet and he advanced as an individual to the regional meet. The coach’s top seven runners include two sophomores and two freshmen. “They are young,” Coach Hess said. “We had some younger kids get hurt early in the year. Adam Burns is the No. 1 run-ner. He was second team all-league and he’s having a good year. I think he can get through to the regionals but he’ll have his hands full there. It’s the same thing — kids have been improving all season. We’re just looking for a good run, either with an indi-vidual or as a team — and get as far as we can go.”

Glass City Federal Credit Union has merged with Libbey Federal Credit Union, according to a credit union spokesperson. The Libbey Federal membership voted on and passed the proposed merger by ab-sentee ballot and at a special membership meeting. All Libbey Federal assets and li-abilities have been transferred to Glass City Federal, and the more than 1,300 Libbey Federal members have become members of Glass City Federal. While both credit unions are fi nancial-ly sound with a strong capital base, Glass City Federal’s fi eld of membership and full array of accounts and services provides even greater effi ciencies for the new Libbey Federal members. Glass City Federal now has assets of nearly $200 million and over 24,000 members. Glass City Federal operates fi ve north-west Ohio branch locations, with the main offi ce in Maumee and the local branch of-fi ce at 1666 East Broadway in East Toledo.

Preschool grant Little Wonders Child Care Center was recently awarded the Early Childhood Education Grant from the Ohio Department of Education.

Glass City Credit Union merges with Libbey Credit Union

The grant is designed to maximize early educational experiences before kin-dergarten and provide children ages three and four with high-quality early learning services. These services are given to eli-gible children through full and part time programs. The preschool program runs Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and on an as-needed basis. Eligible families must fall below the 200 percent of the federal pov-erty level. Proof of income must be kept on fi le along with a copy of the child’s birth certifi cate for age verifi cation. For more information, contact the cen-ter at 419-691-3783 or visit 2534 Woodville Rd in Northwood.

On the boards Stephen Loeffl er has been re-elected as a board supervisor for the Lucas Soil and

Water Conservation District. He will serve a three-year term. SWCD supervisors are lo-cally elected, non-compensated public of-fi cials, who guide the district, its staff, and cooperating agencies in efforts to imple-ment a conservation program in the county that addresses management and conserva-tion of soil, water, and related resources.
