Columbia Gas of Ohio is planning to expand a regulator substation at the corner of Brown and Lallendorf roads that serves Oregon and parts of East Toledo. Plans for the $4 million project call for the replacement of the current substa-tion, built in 1959, with three new build-ings surrounded by a buffer zone of trees. The company will purchase property north of the site for the expansion. The company is also seeking a variance from the zoning commission as part of the project. The regulator substation reduces pres-surized gas before it is delivered to homes and businesses, explained Chris Kozak, communications manager with Columbia Gas of Ohio. Some of the gas fl ows to the refi neries and supports the Jeep factory as well, he said. The substation directly serves 17,000 customers. Several residents living along Brown and Lallendorf roads have expressed con-cerns that the proposed buildings are too large and don’t blend in with the surround-ing neighborhood. They worry their prop-erty values will drop as a result. Offi cials from Columbia Gas and about 20 concerned residents discussed the matter at a meeting at the Oregon Public Library on Nov. 16. Kozak said the current substation looks “lousy,” and that is has “faced several years of neglect.” “Our plan is to make it not only state of the art, but make it look more presentable for the neighborhood and the community,” he said. In addition to improving its appear-ance, the upgrade will also increase safety and decrease noise and odor, said Kozak. The substation will get a new, modern, state of the art regulator. “It will be the newest regulator in the entire Columbia Gas infrastructure,” said Kozak. Newer technology will also provide round the clock coverage of pressures within the system, he added. If there is an incident, offi cials will “know exactly what is happening to address any needs,” said Kozak. Insulation within the new regulator and a reduction in the velocity of gas that fl ows through the pipes will reduce noise. “The pipes you see above the ground now will be buried below the ground. That will reduce the noise we hear from gas fl owing,” he said. The new regulator will no longer vent natural gas as a way to control pressure, thereby reducing odor. “We’re also adding a charcoal fi lter to the top to eliminate mercaptan,” said Kozak. Mercaptan, which contains sulfur, is added to natural gas to make it smell and easier to detect. Natural gas in its natural state is odorless. In addition to the buildings’ exterior brick façade, a wrought iron fence will re-

place the chain link fence around the pe-rimeter of the site. “It’s not going to have barbed wire across the top to keep folks from getting in there,” he said. Crushed stone will be on the ground, and the property will be re-graded and sloped towards swales to pre-vent standing water. Plans also call for the purchase of property north of the site to make way for new equipment. As a result, the company is asking for the zoning variance. “Typically, you have a 100 foot vari-ance from the road. With our acquisition of additional property, we’ve asked the zon-ing commission for a variance of 65 feet on the west side, and 70 feet on the south side,” said Kozak. “If we weren’t purchas-ing the property, we would not be going to the zoning commission for this variance. It allows us to create a 50 foot barrier around the outside of the substation to the east. We’ll have some trees to help landscape that as well.” Poor fi t Some residents living near the substa-tion had issues with the project. “I think you’re industrial looking buildings are very sharp,” said a woman who lives on Brown Road near the substa-tion. “But it doesn’t fi t in with my neigh-borhood. I can see you building this mon-strosity, and if I go to sell my house, people are going to come by and say, `I don’t want to live by that.’ I’m sorry. I don’t think that belongs in a residential area.” She would prefer buildings that

One of the newest “0-5ers” is already a familiar face to many East Toledoans. Tracey Britt, a community service of-fi cer with the Toledo Police Department as-signed to the city’s East Side, told members of the East Toledo Club Thursday she has purchased a residence in the Birmingham neighborhood. “There is no better way to have cred-ibility,” she said at a meeting of the club. “I believe East Toledo is a great place to be. It gets a bad rep. We need to inspire people to see East Toledo as a better place to be.” She told club members she hoped her

Offi cer cheers for east sidedecision to buy a home in the area would encourage others to also consider home ownership, noting rental levels in the city have surpassed 50 percent. While the East Side has many conscientious renters, the housing in many neighborhoods is show-ing symptoms stemming from absentee landlords. “When the new (city) council is sworn in it is my hope they will pass legislation dealing with absentee landlords and ne-glect. A lot starts with neglect of property,” she said, referring to problems such as fl op houses and scrappers stripping siding from vacant houses. When answering service calls, she fre-

looked more residential in nature. She said Maumee has some public utility facilities that look residential and submitted photos to Columbia Gas of Ohio offi cials for refer-ence. “It looks like it belongs on the other end of Lallendorf, not in a residential area,” she said of the proposed upgrade. “We’re going to take a hit in our prop-erty values,” said another woman. “And we’ve made a big investment in our house and we’ve taken great pride in our neigh-borhood.” A man from the audience asked if the substation could be moved down Lallendorf Road into a commercial area. “Everything pretty much north of Seaman on Lallendorf Road is all indus-trial parks, power plants, and transmission lines,” he said. “It’s not an option,” said Robert Siewert, project manager with Columbia Gas of Ohio. “Mainly, if we move it to the point where we could move it to, we’d be building next to a bunch of other people’s houses. I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate us picking that station up and moving it next to their houses.” Environmental permits and capacity issues would also cause problems by mov-ing the substation, he added. “The gas comes in at a certain pres-sure,” said Kozak. “The further you get away from that delivery point, the pressure decreases. So if we were to move this down the road half a mile to a mile, we would

lose pressure to deliver natural gas that would keep us from serving the refi neries and Jeep and several thousand residents here in Oregon,” said Kozak. To move the substation to the north would also require a larger pipeline, said Siewert. “Replacing that line is basically out of our budget. At that point, we’d not be able to do anything with the station. Basically, you guys will be left with what’s there now,” he said. After the meeting, Kozak said Columbia Gas of Ohio offi cials will seek a compro-mise to address residents’ concerns. “There are still some things we’re go-ing to take back from the meeting and try to incorporate in our next presentation,” he said.

Offi cer cheers for east sidequently asks residents if they own or rent their homes and then uses two apps on her cell phone – one for the real estate market, the other for mortgages - to demonstrate to renters they may be better off fi nancially by purchasing a home in their neighborhood. Britt told club members, “We are not going to arrest ourselves into prosperity and peace” and encouraged them to work for better neighborhoods by “rebuilding re-lationships.” “Make the spot you’re in to fi t your ideal,” she said. Britt plans to ask to have a “Sky Cop” camera system reinstalled near the in-tersection of East Broadway and Nevada Street to help curb criminal activity in the East Broadway corridor where drugs, pros-

titution and thefts have been problems. The department’s involvement with ReportIt, a citizen property inventory sys-tem, looks promising, she told club mem-bers. By listing descriptions and serial num-bers of their valuables and other property with the system’s online database, owners increase their chance of recovering stolen items, she said. “Pawn shops are required to use this,” Britt said. “Some of the mom and pop shops don’t but the larger shops generally do.” David Shull, a life-long resident of the East Side and captain of the 410-M Block Watch chapter, praised Britt’s work as a community service offi cer. “She’s not afraid to get involved,” he said.

Oregon City Council on Monday will vote on an ordinance that makes its munic-ipal tax code more consistent with House Bill 5, which was passed last year by the Ohio Legislature. House Bill 5 streamlines Ohio’s mu-nicipal tax code. Businesses backed the measure, saying it creates a more business friendly environment. Many local govern-ments were opposed because they said it would add unnecessary administrative burdens on businesses and their employees who conduct business activities in munici-palities. Ohio was the only state where munici-palities set their own rules and regulations on collection of income taxes. Several dif-ferent communities use different forms to collect annual income taxes. But Oregon was particularly concerned because the bill could have cost the city up to $1 million in annual revenue due to a provision that increases from 12 to 20 the number of days an individual can work in

Council vote coming on tax code changesa municipality without owing local income taxes. It would have particularly affected temporary contract workers at the refi ner-ies. An amendment keeps the withholding requirement at 12 days and allows for a look back to day one if 12 days are exceed-ed. City Administrator Mike Beazley spent considerable time in Columbus meeting with legislators to try and fi nd a resolution. He was able to negotiate an amendment that shields Oregon from what would have had a negative impact on its fi nancial re-sources. “Legislators understood that Oregon was in a unique position because of those two unique refi neries,” said Beazley. Councilman James Seaman praised Bealzey’s efforts to protect Oregon from the fi nancially damaging provision in House Bill 5. “I think Mr. Beazley is being quite modest. He put forth a tremendous effort. We would have lost payroll income tax. Now we will not lose it. You did a great job,” he said. Beazley said he worked with local state legislators, Mike Sheehy and Randy

Gardner to amend the bill. “They were real good allies for us. The senate president and Ways and Means chair were all good partners,” said Beazley. The ordinance that council will vote on Monday will basically make the munici-pal tax code consistent with Senate Bill 5. “We have to have our tax code amended to be consistent with that code by January 1,” said Beazley. “We have to be consistent with the Ohio Revised Code or we lose our ability to collect our income tax. Almost all of us were unhappy to see this law come forward. I do want to emphasize that our taxpayers and our businesses that do with-holding are better served by driving us to-ward more uniformity. The need was real and the fairness to the taxpayers and busi-nesses were real. For the vast majority of our taxpayers, they will see no change of any kind here. Most of these changes are circulated around a narrow band of taxpay-ers.” Most of the other changes are minor, he added. “For most of our taxpayers, they won’t notice any difference,” he said.

Health insurance coverage for employ-ees in Lake Township will remain with the current providers. The township trustees Tuesday ap-proved renewing coverage with Medical Mutual for health insurance and with Guardian for dental, vision and life insur-ance. The trustees said they were pleased with small rate increases from 2015. In 2015, it costs the township $27,859 a month for health insurance coverage from Medical Mutual. Next year, that coverage will cost $27,869 a month – an increase of .04 percent. Guardian will continue to provide dental coverage. In 2016, coverage will cost $21,343 a year – a 6 percent increase from this year’s cost of $20,125 a year. Eye care insurance will cost $6,180 a year in 2016 – a 3 percent jump from $5,980 in 2015. Life insurance premiums will increase by 7 percent to $3,758 a year from $3,499 this year. Trustee Melanie Bowen praised the ef-forts of the township’s broker for negotiat-ing the renewals.

Lake Township — 2016 insurance costs will be slightly higher

ByLarry LimpfNews [email protected]

For the Lake Township trustees, an opinion by the Wood County prosecutor’s offi ce on a proposed policy for dealing with blighted properties can’t come soon enough. The township is considering a policy to deal with complaints about nuisance properties that is similar to one in place in Allen Township. If a property is de-termined to be unsafe and structurally defective, a letter informs the owner of the township’s intent to raze the build-ing. The owner is entitled to a hearing but must fi le a request for a hearing within 30

days of the day the notice was mailed. Mark Hummer, township police chief and administrator, forwarded a copy of the policy to the prosecutor’s offi ce for re-view before trustees decide to enact it. At Tuesday’s meeting of the trust-ees, a resident informed the trustees of problems with property near Woodcreek Boulevard. The resident said she has seen teen-aged youths entering the abandoned house on the property, which has become overgrown with weeds. She said a coyote she saw recently approaching her dog may have come from the property. Chief Hummer said there was little the township could do about the coyotes but advised the resident to notify police if

she saw people entering the house. Two properties located at 30854 and 30848 Drouillard Road in the township have even drawn the interest of Village of Walbridge offi cials. Mayor Ed Kolanko asked the town-ship to consider having them declared nuisances after a few village residents approached him about their deteriorating condition. Chief Hummer informed the trustees Tuesday he’s met with a relative of the properties’ owner who’s interested in re-habilitating the properties. During his campaign for a seat on the board of trustees, Ken Gilsdorf said sev-eral residents mentioned blighted proper-ties as their main concern.

Township resident complains of blighted property

Gas plan reminder The trustees are reminding residents they have until Nov. 27 to opt out of pur-chasing natural gas through the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition. NOAC communities have selected Volunteer Energy Services, Inc. to provide natural gas for residents and small com-mercial customers.

The aggregation agreement will be in effect from December 2015 through April 2017. Customers will be automatically en-rolled in the aggregation program unless they choose to opt out. Participants will receive a lower rate than what they’d receive from Columbia Gas of Ohio. Letters from NOAC have been sent to

residents in NOAC communities. In other business, the trustees approved a resolution giving the township’s consent to the Ohio Department of Transportation for replacing concrete along a stretch of Libbey Road. The project is being funded by a grant of $140,000 through the Ohio Turnpike Mitigation Program.

The Erie-Ottawa-Sandusky Co. Chapter of Pheasants Forever held their ninth an-nual youth pheasant hunt Nov. 7. For the second consecutive year, the W.R. Hunt Club near Clyde hosted the event, attended by 19 young hunters ages 10-17, accompanied by one or both of their parents or non-hunting mentor. Participants were given an opportu-nity to warm up by shooting at some clay pigeons, practicing their bow and arrow skills at an archery target and getting a hunt-ing safety and ethics refresher from Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife (DOW) Pickerel Creek Area Manager Jim Schott. They then got a chance to hunt in front of volunteer guides and behind either their own or the guides’ trained dogs. The hunts generally took 30-45 minutes to locate the “planted” pheasants in the nar-row strips of thick, mixed cover. Each hunt-er was allotted two birds, with an even mix of roosters and hens released ahead of their walk afi eld. All hunters were able to suc-cessfully shoot at a fl ushing pheasant and most went home with a bird or two. According to E-O-S Habitat Chairman and Hunt Organizer Joe Uhinck, wildlife specialist with the ODNR, Ottawa County Soil and Water Conservation District, there is the need to provide young hunters with hunting experiences in a safe, legal, moral and ethical manner. For decades, pheasants provided sport hunting opportunities and an abun-dant food source throughout the Midwest. A combination of “clean farming” and a couple of severe winters wiped out the

majority of the populations in Ohio. Licensed preserves are now helping to connect the generations of hunters who remember hunting wild birds and want to share the experience with new generations of hunters. The ODW releases pen-raised pheasants at specifi c locations throughout the state. The best times to hunt these all-roosters are the morning after the release and after the fi rst tracking snowfall. For dates and locations, visit http://wildlife.odnr.gov and do a topic search for the 2015 pheasant releases. Licensed preserves such as the W. R. Hunt Club and the Brier Oak Hunt Club near Bellevue are open Sept. 1 until March 15 and often have pheasant, quail and chu-kar partridge. The preserves also often offer trap and skeet ranges, 3-D archery, 5-Stand and sporting clays courses. Visit www.ohiopf.org and www.wr-huntclub.com for details.

Committee welcomes members The Wood County Solid Waste Management District welcomed four new members to its Policy Committee. They include Judy Hagen, of Perrysburg as citizen representative; Nicki Kale, of the Wood County Soil & Water Conservation District as representative; Lori Carson, of

Phoenix Technologies as industrial rep-resentative; and Lana Glore, of the Wood County Health District as health commis-sioner’s designee. The district also recognized and thanked outgoing members Skip Baltz, Bob Warnimont, Scott Warner and Brad Espen for their years of outstanding service to the county. The primary responsibility of the sev-en-member Policy Committee is to prepare, adopt and receive approval from the Ohio EPA for a plan which guides district pro-gramming, recycling initiatives and overall solid waste management in Wood County.

Dancing for CASA The line-up of “stars” for the eighth season of “Ottawa County Casa Stars Dance for CASA” fundraising event will include Tom Allen, Joy Cress, Jim Deer, Dawn Fitt, Madeline Jividen, Jackie Macko and Kevin Peters. Professionals Hank Fox, Lisa Ramsey, Elizabeth Hany, Craig “Cookie” Olszewski and Steven Velasquez are assist-ing the “stars” with their performances. The stars will be battling it out on the dance fl oor to raise funds for CASA, a pro-gram that provides advocacy for abused and neglected children in Ottawa County. The event will be held at the Camp Perry conference center on Nov. 21. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the danc-ing will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 each and include hors d’oeuvres. A cash bar will be available. To purchase tickets, call the CASA offi ce at 419-301-0225 and all of the stars have tickets available. This year’s event will be co-hosted by

Judge Kathleen Giesler and a special sur-prise co-host. There will be special perfor-mances by local dancers, a silent auction, a live auction and raffl es.

Waite vet honored World War II veteran U.S. Army Sgt. Richard R. Perry was honored at a medal ceremony held Nov. 5 at the University of Toledo’s Doermann Theatre. Perry, a Waite High School alumna, was awarded the Soldier’s Medal for his ac-tions on April 6, 1945. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943 and was honorably dis-charged in 1946 with the rank of sergeant. An accomplished academic who earned bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees from UT, he spent 57 years teaching and serving in various administrative positions at his alma mater. “It was an interesting twist of fate in which Perry learned that his actions on April 6, 1945, earned him this award,” said Navy Reserve Lt. Haraz N. Ghanbari, UT di-rector of military and veteran affairs, prior to the event. “He risked his life that day to save his comrades, and we look forward to offi cially recognizing Sgt. Perry for his heroism.”

Bowen to be honored A reception to recognize Melanie Bowen for her 18 years of service on the Lake Township Board of Trustees will be held Tuesday, Dec. 1 from 3 5 p.m. at the township administration building. Light refreshments will be served. Bowen chose not to run for re election. Her term expires in January.

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.

Greetings All – Dawn over Wrightsville Beach was a beauty--hues of red, pink, yellow and gold peeking over the horizon. Good thing too, since North Carolina has gotten its licks in on me this week. I had looked forward to my ride on the Outer Banks, but the inces-sant rain, clouds and head winds have made North Carolina a bit of a wet slog. Camping has been a challenge — in fact, haven’t camped much at all — just one night at the Cape Woods campground on Hatteras Island, and of course, it poured during the night. One of my least favorite tasks is packing up wet in the morning. Enter a number of very generous hoteliers and campground hosts — like Cape Woods — who have been helping to support my ride by offering complimentary stays. The ferry boat rides from Hatteras to Ocracoke, and Ocracoke to Cedar Island, and across the Cape Fear River have been wonderful and relaxing, usually under sunny skies and ocean breezes that invigo-rate the spirit — a welcome respite that gives my weary legs a rest. Getting off the ferry on Ocracoke Island, I still had about 14 miles to ride along this narrow barrier island to get to the quaint town of Ocracoke. But to the south of me I could see it coming — dark, roiling clouds that were releasing sheets of rain from the heavens. And then I was in it--drenched through and through, rivulets of precipitation streaming off my helmet--but as quickly as I rode into it, I just as quickly rode out of it. But, the soggy damage had been done, and in this environment, it takes forever to dry out. I spent an extra day on Ocracoke, and it was good, relaxing under some warm sunshine which has been a rare commod-ity here in the Tar Heel State. In Ocracoke I also met a fine fellow by the name of John Mckenzie, who, after hearing about my journey, invited me to share the hospitality of his 5th wheel trailer...and I took him up on it. My mileages have not been great down

Bicyclist hits a ‘wet slog’ in Carolina: Donations near $7,000

the East Coast--usually in the 40 to 50 mile range, and today from Wilmington to Southport, only about 30. So different from 10 years ago on the Lewis and Clark Trail out West when typical days were 60-80 miles. And then...there was that one day

30 years ago on the last leg of my world tour that I hit 165 miles across Kansas — admittedly with a 30 mph tail wind. And of course, I was 30 years younger then with all my original body parts — the new hip seems to be holding up well, by the way.

But if I do make it out west, 40 mile days just won’t do. I’m actually feeling a bit guilty about riding the coastal flats of tidewater North Carolina. Seems as though I haven’t seen a good size hill in weeks — not that I’m complaining. But then, maybe I paid my dues in New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire — and there will be more dues to pay down the road. Yesterday I worked with Cape Fear Habitat For Humanity, and it was a great crew. We spent the morning putting up the roof trusses, and all went smoothly and quickly. The lady who will be receiving the house once it is done was also on site putting in her “sweat equity” hours, and I’m sure it was a thrill to see her house going up, and to take part in its construction. After working with Habitat, I took a walk on Wrightsville Beach, and it was one of those moments that stand out...a peace-ful moment with a perfect combination of sun, surf, sand, and blue sky with the surf-ers catching their waves while the shadows lengthened. So many thanks to Holiday Inn in Wrightsville Beach whose General Manager, Ann, extended a stay to me while volunteering with Habitat, as has Ellen at the Riverside Motel in Southport. So kind of these establishments to help out in this way and support my ride. I’m now just shy of the $7,000 mark in donations for both charities combined. Thanks to all who have helped me get there. Proceeding On to the other Carolina — guess I have Carolina on my mind...

Oregon

Council to consider cost for energy improvement project

Woodmore schools to purchase $32,000 security camera system


Oregon City Council on Monday will consider paying Poggemeyer Design group $892,336 to provide additional design ser-vices and work associated with the con-struction of the Oregon Municipal Complex Energy Improvement & Building Upgrade project. Last year, the city approved a $2,963,000 contract with Poggemeyer for the design and construction of the project. It was anticipated during last year’s capital budget process that the project would expand once underway in response to unanticipated, necessary structural or energy improvements, according to City Administrator Mike Beazley. “We said this would be an ongoing project. As we opened up the roof, we would fi nd things. We actually found worse things than we thought,” said Beazley. “Also, we chose to add additional ener-gy savings and building improvements that were originally intended to be scheduled

for 2016 as it became clear that it would be less costly and less disruptive to fold them into the ongoing project,” he said. Final project costs ended up coming in approximately 30 percent higher than an-ticipated projections to meet the needs of the expanded project. “This was among the most expensive buildings per square foot to heat and cool of any buildings you might fi nd just be-cause the way it was put together,” said Beazley. Mayor Mike Seferian said the munici-pal complex has needed considerable up-grades for the last several years. “We knew this building was in dire need of a lot of work. We weren’t sure what we would fi nd. And even though you see a signifi cant additional cost, it was some-what anticipated because we had a couple of options on what we could do with this building – rehab it or replace it. If we were going to rehab it, we were going to try and come up with a building that was worth using for a good number of years,” said Seferian. To replace the building would have cost several millions more, he added.

“Once we chose the route of staying in this building, if we found things along the way, we wanted to virtually take care of all the problematic things that showed up. And that’s what this cost refl ects,” said Seferian. The objective of the project is to im-prove energy effi ciency, lower the costs of operating city buildings, provide long needed repairs to infrastructure and to make the municipal facility more attrac-tive and comfortable for the public and city workforce. “We are confi dent that the completed improvements will achieve our objectives, though the poor condition of our building infrastructure did cause us more delay than we would have liked,” said Beazley. “This ordinance completes the funding for the improvement projects at our complex.” The expansion of the project focused on four primary areas: • Deteriorated roof decking, inad-equate duct work, inadequate roof drains, unmitigated asbestos; • The investment of additional funds to make facilities more attractive. “We up-

dated our Water Distribution building fa-çade and did basic cleanup at that site,” said Beazley. “We chose to invest in longer lasting metal roofi ng materials to provide for longer useful life and to lower our capi-tal needs in the coming decades.” • Upon the discovery of the deterio-rated roof deck, the city decided to replace lighting, ceiling tiles, grids, and pads. “We chose to make additional upgrades to the East Wing, and then concluded that it would not be prudent to depend on the aged piping for HVAC systems once we re-viewed their condition. We also spent ad-ditional funds on the bore fi eld as it became clear the initial budget would not meet the needs of the project,” said Beazley. • A signifi cant investment in addition-al energy savings projects that will help lower costs in the coming years. These in-clude street/recreation garage upgrades and new LED lighting systems. Beazley said he expects more discus-sion on remaining facility improvement projects, such as the City Council chambers and the Council Conference Room, during the 2016 budget process.


A recommendation to purchase a se-curity camera system for Woodmore High School was approved Tuesday by the board of education but not before one board member sought assurances the cost wasn’t straining the permanent improvement fund. Superintendent Linda Bringman re-ceived unanimous support from the board when she updated members on a proposal to spend about $32,000 on a camera system for the school. But Joe Liszak, a member of the board’s

fi nance committee, said the cameras shouldn’t come at the expense of new text-books. “I want to make sure we have enough money in the PI fund,” Liszak, said Wednesday. “Coming up, we’re going to need a new bus and I want to make sure all of the kids have textbooks before we use money on security cameras. That’s my priority that we have up to date, good text-books.” He said he was satisfi ed with the ad-ministration’s claim there would be suffi -cient revenues in the fund. In other business, the board approved a resolution to contract with Salenbien Trucking & Excavating for the demolition

of the former elementary school building. The Dundee, Mich.-based fi rm submit-ted a bid of $220,000. In addition to the school board, the contract is subject to approval by the Ohio School Facilities Commission, which will provide 32 percent of the project cost. The district opened a new preK-8 school building last year that was fi nanced by a bond approved by Woodmore voters and funding from the OSFC. Board members had been previously divided on whether or not to save a wing of the old building to be used as storage and other needs but ultimately voted to include it in demolition plans. The board also approved a resolution

Tuesday to seek renewal of a property tax levy that generates about $600,000 annu-ally. Originally approved by voters in May 2011, the levy will again be before voters in March 2016, according to the resolution. If renewed next year, the levy would go into effect in 2017. The board will hold its 2016 organi-zational meeting Jan. 5 at 6 p.m. in the el-ementary school. Three new members, Cara Brown, Sean Rizor and Sam Preston, will be sworn in. Incumbent Corinna Bench will serve the remaining two years of the seat that was va-cated earlier this year by Grant Cummings.

Tim Malone, Principal Emeritus at St. Kateri Catholic Schools, was recently rec-ognized for his exceptional leadership in Catholic schools by the Catholic Diocese of Toledo. The Diocese recently presented Malone with the John A. Thomas Leadership Award, which is given annually to an ad-ministrator who displays outstanding lead-ership as a Catholic School principal. The winner must have at least 10 years of expe-rience as a principal. “This is a honor to be recognized by the Diocese with such a prestigious award,” stated Malone, who has been with the school since 2012. “There is a lot of great leadership at all the Catholic Schools in the Toledo-Area, so this is a great sur-prise.” During his tenure with St. Kateri and Cardinal Stritch, Malone oversaw the launch of the STEMM Initiative, as well as blended learning, the academic achieve-ment program and the after school tutoring program. Prior to his arrival at SKCS, Malone was an administrator with St. John’s Jesuit for 31 years. In recognition of his accom-plishments there, St. John’s inducted Malone into the school’s Hall of Fame this fall.

Financial literacy GenoaBank recently participated with The Ohio State University and Toledo Technical Schools in the ‘Real Money. Real World,’ a fi nancial literacy program. The program is an interactive bud-

get simulation that aims to prepare stu-dents for their fi nancial futures by assign-ing spouses/children, occupations and a monthly salary which students must manage to provide for their families.

Students are then dealt various fi nancial obligations similar to those they will face as adults, requiring tough decisions and encouraging thoughtful discussion on how best to prioritize fi nancial responsibilities.

“Financial literacy education is crucial in preparing students as they begin the next chapter of their lives.” stated Marty Sutter, president and CEO. “It is imperative that students understand what they earn is not necessarily what they will get in their pay-check once deductions are taken out. This is where fi nancial literacy is so important in developing an informed citizenry.”

If they fi nd the elf they will be given a raffl e ticket for restau-rant gift cards, gift baskets and certifi cates.

I M Wnspirational essage of the eek: The Door is Open

How many of us live in prisons of our own making? If you

feel constrained by the circumstances of your life and yet

those circumstances are largely your own creations, then

you have indeed built yourself a prison. Henry David

Thoreau writes about those who have “forged their own

golden or silver fetters,”accumulating wealth and property

to the point where they are literally enslaved to it. He

reminds us that “A man is rich in proportion to the number

of things he can afford to let alone.”And a man is free in the

same proportion. The ultimate freedom is to have the

liberty of mind and spirit to do as one would choose, free of

duress or external control. Most adults live life free of

external control, and yet we feel constrained by the

circumstances of our lives. We must toil and work like

slaves because we have allowed materialism to become

our master. We are slaves to our appetites and desires

because we have allowed hedonism to become our

master.And we are imprisoned by our own minds because

we fail to see that there are other ways to think and live.

The Sufi poet Rumi asks “Why do you stay in prison when

the door is so wide open?” The answer can only be that it is

a prison of our own choosing. “It is for freedom that Christ

has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves

be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

Having a goal will help you better avoid distractions

A lot has changed To the editor: The year was 1957 when Oregon was not a city but a town-ship. That was the year Columbia Gas or one of its various iterations constructed a regulator station at the corner of Brown and Lallendorf roads. The area was primarily farmland with only two houses adjacent to the regulator station. Over the years, Oregon became a city and the area grew and developed. Also the regulator station gradually deteriorated to the point we are at today where it purges gas, raises the ambient noise on the sur-rounding properties and has become a local eyesore due to lack of upkeep. Columbia Gas says it is necessary to update the regula-tor station due to the age of the mechanical equipment it contains. In order to update the existing regulator station, Columbia Gas has indicated that it needs to expand the station by purchasing and demolishing the house adjacent to the property on the north side. This has caused great concern to the area residents. These concerns include but are not limited to:

• The area is no longer sparsely popu-lated and any issues associated with the reg-ulator station would affect many properties.

• Columbia Gas has indicated that they will require variances in the current setback requirements of the City of Oregon moving the regulator station closer to the roads and to the adjacent properties. There has already been an incident of a vehicle driving through the current chain link fence and becoming impaled on a valve operator. This incident could have resulted in a very explosive situation had the car breached the building, damaged one of the pipelines or mechanical devices in the yard.

• Architectural renderings provided at various meetings illustrate a very industrial

looking building to be located in a residen-tial area. In addition, the proposed building would offer minimal explosion resistance. During a Nov. 16 public meeting at the Oregon Public Library, many residents met with Columbia Gas to express their con-cerns. While Columbia Gas is concerned about safety, it’s primarily a concern about their employees and not the area residents. When suggestions were made to move the regulator station to an alternate site(s) and not expand it at a busy intersection, Columbia Gas was unable to quantify why the station had to remain in its current lo-cation. Several alternate sites were proposed but Columbia Gas did not appreciate the suggestions. The proposed improvements also do not improve the sight lines at the intersec-tion of Brown and Lallendorf roads. When suggestions were made to move several existing valves to allow the sight lines to be improved (move the fence along Brown Road to the North), it was stated that they could not be moved or placed in an under-ground chamber. Columbia Gas rejected the under-ground chamber concept due to fears of gases accumulating in the chamber. This same concern from resident’s exposure to gas accumulation was not evident. Columbia Gas has not been a good neighbor to the area residents. The station has been an eyesore for years, does not fi t in a residential area and exposes the area community to risks that are not necessary. It is time for Columbia Gas to do what is right for our community and relocate the

regulator station to a more appropriate site for the sake of safety – both for Columbia Gas and area residents.Robert DunlapOregon

Helping families To the editor: The Oregon Health & Welfare Committee is pleased to announce that they will be able to reinstate the is-suance of fresh fruit to Christmas basket recipients this year. Fresh fruit had to be discontinued due to budget constraints and the increased cost of fruit products. Thanks to the efforts of the committee, Easter Seals clothing donation program, clothing donors from the city of Oregon and surrounding areas, and Margie Burley of M & M Estate Liquidations, enough mon-ey was raised. Thanks to all participants. We plan to ask for these clothing donations on a yearly basis. Through your generosity in giving canned goods and monetary donations, we were able to help 274 families in Oregon, Jerusalem Township and Curtice last year. For more information, call the City of Oregon at 419-698-7047.Yvonne Thoma-PattonChairperson Oregon Health & Welfare

Better solution needed To the editor: This letter concerns the proposed expansion of the Columbia Gas pumping station on the corner of Brown and Lallendorf roads. Residents have been meeting with

Columbia Gas and the City of Oregon to express safety concerns about expanding the facility in a residential and high traf-fi c intersection. We strongly feel the expan-sion does not belong in a residential area and hope that it could be moved north on Lallendorf in the industrial area. Some of the concerns expressed in-clude the request to change the setback to make the property closer to the intersection which impacts traffi c visibility. Also, we are concerned with the maintenance of the facility. In the past, there have been fi lled barrels sitting unattended, open gates and building doors, untended weeds blocking the visibility at the intersection and the smell of gas. Calls from neighbors reporting this would go unheeded until we called the EPA or the fi re department. As we go forward in our city, how can we attract new residents to move here when facilities such as this detract and lower our property values? There has to be a better solution that meets the needs of both resi-dents and Columbia Gas instead of expand-ing in a residential area. Michele GrossOregon

Too many jobs? To the editor: I’m encouraging resi-dents of Clay Township to attend the Nov. 23 meeting of the township board of trust-ees to voice their opinion on the board ap-pointing Police Chief Terry Mitchell as the maintenance supervisor. I feel this is wrong as Chief Mitchell is also the zoning inspector. I attended a pre-vious meeting of the trustees in which the appointment was discussed, but the board delayed action.Mike DiekmanMartin

Distractions break your focus. They send your mind on an unproductive detour. Distractions lure you off your desired path. Distractions cause you to forget where you are going or what’s important. When you are driving a car, a distrac-tion can cause an accident. In your life, a distraction can cause a missed goal or a failed objective. Anything which interferes with your concentration dilutes your efforts. Distractions pull you from your in-tended route. Distractions take many forms. They appear as problems, other opportunities, the opinions of others, criti-cism, ridicule, self-doubt, and displace-ment behavior. Distractions can be short or long term. A short term distraction impacts you for a couple of hours or days. These are par-ticularly insidious because each one ap-pears rather innocuous. Yet, they have signifi cant cumulative impact. A long term distraction affects you for weeks or longer. Extended distractions waste lots of time and energy. You have a high susceptibility to dis-tractions when you lack goals, focus, or di-rection. Boredom, fatigue, bad time man-agement skills, and a short attention span, also leave you vulnerable. You must train yourself to look past distractions. To do this you fi rst identify each distraction and then formulate a strat-egy for dealing with it. Displacement behavior is a common distraction. This occurs when you are busy performing tasks of little or no value

in order to avoid working on your goal ori-ented objectives. Displacement behavior prevents feelings of guilt by providing a false sense of accomplishment. Although you have not been idle, you have not been accomplishing anything worthwhile either. Displacement behavior is countered by asking yourself, “Will this bring me closer to a goal?” before commencing any activity. If the answer is “no,” then you have just identifi ed a distraction. Now you are in a position to select another, more productive activity. Other people are a great source of distraction. Conversations, emails, phone calls, and social interactions can all be cul-prits. When dealing with other people, it’s OK to give priority to your own wellbeing. Always be polite and courteous when de-clining invitations. There’s no need to feel guilty. Technology is an ever-present distrac-tion. The Internet, email, social media, and voice mail intrude on your productivity. They are a frequent form of displacement behavior. Allocate a regular block of time when you unplug. Limit your technologi-cal indulgences to limited periods of time.

Disorganization is yet another distrac-tion. Whatever time you spend looking for things is wasted. Energy devoted to becom-ing organized is well spent. Organization is a balance. Compulsive organization is another form of displacement behavior. Proper organization provides you with more time, not less. Multitasking gives the illusion of en-hanced productivity while having the op-posite effect. Attempting to juggle impor-tant tasks impedes your concentration and thus reduces your thoroughness. Would you want the pilot of your plane multitask-ing while he was attempting to land during a storm? Bad habits are another type of distrac-tion. A bad habit is anything which inter-feres with goal attainment. Don’t use a bad habit as an excuse for veering off course. A bad habit is solely your responsibility. You can replace bad habits with good ones. Having clearly identifi ed, meaningful goals, combined with a defi nite plan of ac-tion, prevents you from becoming distract-ed. Developing a burning desire to accom-plish your goals is more likely when your goals are important to you. People who are driven toward a goal are less likely to be-come distracted. Avoid or minimize activities which are not focused on attaining your objectives. This requires constant monitoring of how you are spending your time. Make pro-ductivity your objective. Stay focused on working towards your goals.

I met her on a beach in Indiana, told her I loved her in a gay bar in Toledo, pro-posed on Cadillac Mountain in Maine and married her on an island in a trout stream in Michigan. What an adventure it was. Still is. Men don’t usually talk about these things, but, since we recently celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary, our journey together has been on my mind. The realization that I was in love came slowly and surprised me. This woman, who I was dating intermittently, in time, revealed herself to share the same values I had. She was career-minded. She pursued a path with heart. She was caring, spiritual, funny and passionate. She was adventure-some. She climbed mountains, went snor-keling, sailing, deep-sea fi shing, sky-diving and soaring in a glider. She was intrepid. “God I was glad I found her,” as Rod Stewart sang in Every Picture Tells a Story. Then, the work began. She pursued her career as a nurse and supported me while I went back to college to change careers. Later, I supported her while she pursued a Bachelor’s Degree, graduating at age 39. We’ve raised three children and sent two through college.

40 years of marriage

“God I was glad I found her,” as Rod would say

We’ve suffered through the death of parents and close friends. We’ve had ups and downs and argu-ments and disagreements. We’ve yelled at each other and been silent when we shouldn’t have. We’ve ignored each other when other duties and responsibilities have called us away. But, each morning we wake up in each other’s arms and there’s no other place I’d rather be. Together we’ve chased our version of the American Dream. We’ve worked hard. We’ve sacrifi ced. She’s followed her pas-sion to care for others for 41 years; I have followed mine providing news and infor-mation to my community for 34 years. We have given each other the space to pursue separate interests—mine is play-ing sports; hers is studying genealogy and watching science fi ction. We have support-ed each other in these pursuits—she has

been to my events, I have watched Doctor Who and listened to her drone on about her ancestors including Thor the Skull Splitter. We have shared the workload, regard-less of gender roles. We have shared pa-rental responsibilities. We have been equal partners. The time I have treasured the most on this earth is my time with her, my best friend, my partner. The life we have built together is our accomplishment, our bond, our history. We share in the joy of what we have created. Now, we share in the joy of watching our adult children fi nd their way on their life’s journey. There are different defi nitions of The American Dream. At its very basic, it is to own your home and have an equal shot at upward mobility dependent on your will-ingness to better your skill set and work hard. But, underlying this is a universal dream--It is one of sharing your life’s jour-ney with someone else. Most American men believe this. According to one federal government study, more than 80 percent of Americans will marry before age 40. And, 54 percent of those married between the years of 1975 to 1979, when we married, were still mar-ried after 25 years, according to a 2009 U.S. Census Bureau study. There are still a lot

of men who work hard at marriage and are driven to make their partner happy. Every so often, you’ll read about cou-ples celebrating their 50th wedding anni-versary and they will reveal their secrets to a successful long-term relationship. These include sharing each other’s dreams, work-ing together, having patience and tolerance with each other, being sensitive to each other’s needs, listening, and talking about everything. That’s all true, and I’ll add these: A relationship is a journey. Don’t get stalled in a rut. Move forward. Seek adventure. Create fun; Don’t stop growing. Your spouse fell in love with you, but you have since revealed all your fears and shortcomings. Develop yourself into a better person than you were when you fi rst married; And, fi nally, adopt an athlete’s mem-ory—don’t let the errors you make, or the ones your spouse makes, affect the way you play the new day. Forget, forgive and do better. There’s no better time to appreciate your spouse and your family than this Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy.

By Larissa Johnson

When I think about Thanksgiving, I think about family, food, and fi rsts. The fi rst person in my family to eat a Thanksgiving feast was William Brewster, my 13th great-grandfather. He was also one of the fi rst people to celebrate this tradition at all. After coming over on the Mayfl ower with his wife and children, Brewster settled into Plymouth Colony. As the senior elder and the religious leader of the group, he probably blessed this fi rst meal himself. That fi rst feast was quite different from what I ate at my fi rst Thanksgiving in 1980. He most likely ate wildfowl, corn (perhaps as porridge), eel, and venison. In the nearly 400 years since then, our food system has completely changed. My fi rst supper on this holiday consisted of pu-reed sweet potato that came out of a glass baby-food jar. While the fi rst feast relied only on what

This Thanksgiving think of family, food and fi rsts

the colonists and their neighbors could raise themselves, we now regularly eat foods that aren’t grown anywhere in our region — or even in the United States. The original colonists had few options for food. There were no grocery stores. There was just a local economy that consisted of what you and your neighbors could grow and hunt. You probably associate Thanksgiving with a “traditional meal” of turkey, stuffi ng, mashed potatoes, candied yams, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. In reality, your spread should look different based on where you live. I live in Catonsville, Maryland. If my

neighbors and I followed the tradition of the fi rst feast, we’d go to our local farmers’ market and cook holiday fare with those ingredients. Thanksgiving tables around here shouldn’t mirror my family’s meal in Pelham, New Hampshire. Better yet, we could apply those same lessons to every meal. That’s what I’ve been trying to do for the last two years. After moving to Catonsville, I joined the Catonsville Cooperative Market, a food co-operative launched in 2008 for the residents of our Baltimore suburb and other nearby communities. We purchase goods from over 25 local farmers and artisans and have a pick up site at a local church. We share a common vision of one day opening a storefront market to sell locally sourced and natural products at affordable prices. We hope that it will also serve as a community center — not just a grocery store, but a place to learn skills and share information. Aside from bringing people together,

our co-op is helping build a new economy. Multiple studies show that locally owned independent retailers return more than three times as much money per dollar of sales to the local economy than chain competitors. This strengthens local communities, creates local jobs, and builds local wealth. And co-ops can also reconnect people to their regional food system, ensuring that they’re eating foods that are in season and locally grown. It’s been 394 years since my 13th great-grandfather celebrated his fi rst Thanksgiving. This year, when I return to my family’s table in New Hampshire, I’m making sure it’s full of local and seasonal foods. Because that’s one fi rst worth repeating.

The unique history and architecture of area homes and buildings will be highlight-ed on holiday tours being sponsored by two area organizations on Saturday, Dec. 5. The Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society’s Holiday Tour of Distinctive Homes, which will run from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., will fea-ture fi ve homes plus St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Lane Park Senior Complex and the Black Forest Café at Oak Shade Grove. “For this year’s event, the term ‘homes’ is used rather loosely, since three of the lo-cations are distinctive structures chosen because of their importance to our commu-nity,” said Connie Isbell, historical society member. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 the day of the event. Tour attendees will need to present their ticket at each stop. Call 419-367-5254. As a bonus, Eagle’s Nest Sweet Retreat, 16 S. Stadium Rd., is offering a complimentary treat to each ticket holder. Tour highlights include: • 2959 Luverne Ave., a 1976 Mediterranean owned by Lester & Felicia McManaway. The home, originally owned by Dr. Joseph Orlando and his wife Luisa. The McManaways purchased the home in 2014 and began the restoration of the home, which includes iron accents, tile and mar-ble fl oors, a wine cellar, sauna and more. • 3450 Seaman Rd. – Lane Park of Oregon (Alcore Senior Management), a country cottage circa 2014. The senior liv-ing complex’s architectural design projects a warm, homey ambiance. It includes 13 in-dependent living cottages and 64 assisted living and memory care units in a commu-nity setting. • 3624 Seaman Rd. – Black Forest Café, GAF Society, a German-style café (c. 1978), at Oak Shade Grove, home of the German American Festival. • 4810 South Teal, a circa 2006 tradi-tional home owned by Bernie and Michelle Quilter. The Quilters purchased the “spec” house in 2007, adding a rear deck and fi n-ishing the basement. An avid Ohio State fan, Bernie wanted the basement to refl ect his passion for the scarlet and gray, along with his devotion to family history. Each year, a 13-foot live Christmas tree adds warmth to the great room, which features a cathedral ceiling. The dining room is a trib-ute to Bernie’s mother, Mary, featuring her furniture. • 212 N. Stadium Rd. – St. Ignatius Catholic Church, a Spanish Revival church (circa 2014). Established in the early 1870s with members providing lumber and labor, the church opened in 1883. The parish, which suffered many disasters, including being hit by a tornado in 1904 and fi re in 1915 and 1926, continued to grow and after a four-year planning process, construction began on a new church in April 2013. The new church, dedicated March 4, 2014, in-cludes the bell tower saved from the 1926 church when it was razed. • 6565 Bayshore Rd. – a contemporary home (c. 1987) owned by Frank and Sandy Bihn. The home,’ which uses Maumee Bay State Park as a template for architectural design, is angled on the lot to provide op-

Tours showcase distinctive Oregon, Pemberville homes

timal views of the bay and lake and Toledo Harbor Lighthouse from the bedrooms and common areas. Nautical and water/lighthouse items and art are highlighted throughout the home, including a 14-foot nautical tree in the family room. • 4025 Pickle Rd., a Victorian farm-house (c. 1885) owned by David and Carolyn Yenrick. The oldest home on the tour, this acreage was fi rst acquired under a Homestead Law by George Mueller (Miller) who migrated from Baden-Baden Germany in 1852. The Yenricks have lived in the home since 1987. Due to “remuddling” done in the 1950s, the Yenricks, who are recently retired, continue to put the house back to its original state, gutting, insulat-ing, raising ceilings and installing hard-wood pine fl oors. • 3564 Brown Rd., a contemporary home (c. 2004) owned by Charles (Charlie) Boos, the grandson of the founder of A. A. Boos Construction Company, which has been in Oregon since 1947. The two-story, 4200 sq. ft. home has 14 rooms with four bedrooms and six baths. The kitchen, de-signed by Poggenpohl of Germany, features cabinets made in Detroit. The 3315 sq. ft. basement is a work in progress with seven rooms, each with its own theme and 10-foot ceiling.

Karen Young will welcome visitors to a Country Christmas at her home at 17646 Lemoyne Rd. during the Pemberville Library’s Holiday Home Tour.

and will include four stops. • 500 Water St., owned by Neal and Teresa Badenhop. The couple moved into the house in 1998. Recent renovations ex-panded the living space and created a more open fl oor plan. Holiday traditions include multiple themed Christmas trees, includ-ing an OSU Buckeye tree adorned with or-

naments the children receive each year as a reminder of family vacations or events. • 3241 Sugar Ridge Rd., owned by Betty Kahlenberg, but in the Kahlenberg family since 1938. Betty displays many Jim Shore Santas and handmade grapevine trees. A Christmas tree holds crocheted snowfl akes made by her grandmother. A Christmas train goes around a tree in the family room which also has a collection of Rowe Pottery Santas. • 680 W. Front St., owned by Dean and Rebecca Krukemeyer. A major renovation completed by the family after purchasing the home in 2011 added more bedrooms and baths and relocated the kitchen to ac-commodate the family of eight.

Hurricane Katrina. For most, even 10 years later, those two words bring to mem-ory images of the devastation and human drama in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Category 3 hurricane made land-fall in August 2005, and is considered one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes ever to hit the United States. It is estimated that more than 1,800 people died and more than $108 billion in damages was caused by the hurricane and the fl ooding that fol-lowed. What many do not realize is that dam-age from Katrina was spread throughout the Gulf Coast, with many parishes and cit-ies in Mississippi being washed away. Known as “Ground Zero” to many in the area, places like Pass Christian and Biloxi saw devastating damage, with most of the homes in the area being destroyed and many left homeless. A mission team from St. John’s United Church of Christ in Genoa traveled to Biloxi Nov. 1-7 to aid those who are still suffering the side effects of that storm. Dawn Balduf, who has gone on the mission trips since 2006, went with the group of 28 missionaries from St. John’s, as well as friends and members of Haskins Community Church, to help people in the area recover. “I had no clue what to expect when I fi rst went to Biloxi,” Balduf said. “It is still hard to describe what I saw. You can see it on television, but, until you go there and see the devastation fi rsthand, you really have no clue. It defi nitely changed my life.” The local group worked with Back Bay Mission in Biloxi. Back Bay, a UCC mis-sion, was started in 1922 to help the poor in the area. Since Katrina, the mission has turned its attention to helping the survivors and those who are still homeless years lat-er. The mission runs Loaves & Fishes, a soup kitchen, as well as Head Start, the Coastal Family Health Center, the Gulf

Local church still helping to support Katrina survivorsFamily The Press

Coast Women’s Center for Non-Violence, Gulf Coast Family Counseling, the South Mississippi AIDS Task Force, the Ocean Springs-Long Beach Interfaith Hospitality Network, which provides transitional housing and supportive services for home-less families, and the Open Doors Homeless Coalition. The St. John’s missionary group spent the week working on homes, serving in a soup kitchen and helping people in a re-spite center, a place where those who are homeless can get out of the elements, get mail and phone messages, take showers and wash their clothes. “Many homes are still without proper roofi ng,” Balduf said. This is the fi fth such trip to the Gulf

Coast that volunteers from St. John’s have made. The group goes back every other year to lend their help. The church holds many fundraisers throughout the year to raise funds for the trip. “In 2006, I felt called to go,” Balduf said. “I can say the mission defi nitely transforms you. It changes what ‘homeless’ means to you. It becomes people, someone like me trying to take care of their kids, grandkids. I fell in love with the area and what Back Bay is all about.” St. John’s also helps local families throughout the year including sponsoring families at Christmas and helping to sup-port Vision Ministries located in down-town Toledo. For Balduf, there will always be a si-

ren’s call back to Biloxi. “The Biloxi area has always been a poor area loaded with local fi shermen,” she said. “They were hit with something they can’t rebound from because they have no support system. This is what Jesus calls us to do. Look outward not inward as a church. “We are called to help the poor, home-less and needy. Jesus told us to love our neighbors. There are no qualifi ers on that. Genoa is a blessing. There is always some-one there to help. That is not always the case in other cities in this country. We work on many missions in the area as well. After working on a mission, the experience really hits home,” she said. For more information on St. John’s UCC call 419-855-3906.

November has its own cool, hazy beau-ty. The sun is gentle now and the sky has changed from the bright blue of October to the deeper gray-blue of November. November mornings are full of chill but days can still melt to mild warmth by mid-day. The grasses and the plants are fading and most of the trees are nearly bare. The fi elds and countrysides are tawny shades of russet, cinnamon and copper. November is misty, mellow, and calm, multi-shades of brown. The senior cat at our home has decided that a plain cardboard box will be his cool, autumn weather hide-away. We put the box near a heat source and each day, after his eating and cleaning duties are complete, he climbs into his box, turns around sev-eral times, and settles himself with a sigh of comfortable contentment. Through the day, when he is not sleeping, he rests his

chin on the side of the box and keeps an eye on the activities going on around him. He’s older and wiser now and prefers to watch the household business without be-ing a part of it. The box came to us full of canned goods but he doesn’t mind its hum-ble origin – to him it is his own personal Shangri-La. To enjoy any raw November day – Punkin loves his box! Soon we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving. This special holiday, set aside to remind us to be grateful for our many blessings, is

often full of family, friends, and food. For many, sweet potatoes are a tasty part of the Thanksgiving feast. This sweet vegetable is chocked full of nutrients, including: vitamins C, A, and B and protein, iron, calcium, and com-plex carbohydrates. They also contain inulin, which is a blood sugar regulator. Baked, boiled, or fried, sweet potatoes can be served in many different and delicious ways. In casseroles, muffi ns, pies, side dishes, and even grated raw in salads – the sweet potato is a versatile food. After the Thanksgiving feast, most of us will have plenty of leftovers to be served as snacks or in later meals. Once again, sweet potatoes can perk up a meal with leftover turkey sandwiches, turkey wraps, or in any style. Try sweet potato balls as a sweet, soft and crunchy, healthy companion treat with leftover turkey.

Sweet Potato Balls2 c. cooked mashed sweet potatoes¼ c. pineapple juiceSalt to tasteCrushed corn fl akes Add the pineapple juice to the pota-toes. Beat until smooth and form into balls the size of an egg. Role the balls in crushed corn fl akes, place in a buttered shallow pan and bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Serve warm. For a sweeter version, wrap the balls around one marshmallow. Then roll the balls in a crushed cinnamon fl avored cere-al. Bake and serve. November garden tips: Add dried leaves to the compost pile. Where needed, wrap tender or newly-planted trees and shrubs in protective fabric to protect them in the cold weather soon to come.

Family The Press

Though the weather outside has hard-ly been “frightful” – at least until now, or-ganizers are working has hard as Santa’s elves to make the fourth annual “Winter Wonderland” at the Sandusky County Fairgrounds nothing less than delightful. Corporate and business sponsorships, Christmas-themed craft show vendors, as well as lighted displays from businesses, clubs and organizations are being sought for the annual event, scheduled to run Dec. 10-13 and 17-20. According to committee chair Danyelle Lantz, Winter Wonderland is one of a few county-wide holiday events in the region. Each year, the displays and partici-pation continue to grow, with more busi-nesses and community organizations being involved. New for his year, any business, community organization, or individual may set up a lighted outside display, free of charge. An inside lighted “Christmas Tree Forest” will also be added this year, allow-ing civic and community organizations to set up and decorate a tree inside the fair-ground Exhibitor Hall. The displays are an excellent way to get involved in a community event, and promote their business or services as well, Lantz said. “We want to continue to have as many businesses and clubs as possible get in-volved,” she said. “It would be awesome to have the whole fairgrounds lit up with Christmas lights. “We’re inviting everyone in the county to get involved, and so far, we’re thrilled with the response,” she said. Visitors will be able to enjoy the light-ed displays from the warmth of their vehi-

Santa will herald the arrival of the holiday season in Oak Harbor in grand fashion as his friends from the Portage District Fire Department guide him through the village streets Saturday, Dec. 5 at 4:15 p.m. At 5 p.m., Santa will arrive at the Log Cabin to light the Village Christmas Tree and to visit with all the kids. After their visit with Santa, children will receive Santa Bucks and be able to shop for two free gift items for their loved ones from downtown businesses. Parents can obtain a punch card featuring the names of eight businesses, which will be open that night. Those who visit all eight with their kids can then enter to win a $100 gift certifi cate. After the children have purchased their gifts they may proceed to Portage Fire

““

In my opinion, this is a

smack at the environment.

By J. Patrick Eaken

Press Staff Writer

[email protected]

Robert James Worthington, a 20-year-

old independent in Tuesday’s District 3 city

council primary election, says he doesn’t

want to be considered a “politician,” but a

“public servant.” His idea caught on.

Democratic candidate Peter J. Ujvagi,

66, admitted to about 60 guests at a forum

Wednesday night he believes all four candi-

dates have similar intentions.

“I really do believe that all four of us

would be like to be public servants, not poli-

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

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

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

believe I have the energy and the passion.

We can do this together. No elected offi -

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

own.’” Worthington, Ujvagi, Republican Ernest

D. McCarthy, 73, and independent Glen

Cook, 73, all had an opportunity to respond

to questions at the forum, which was hosted

by the East Toledo Club and One Voice for

East Toledo at the East Toledo Senior Center.

Press General Manager John Szozda moder-

ated. The top two vote getters in Tuesday’s

primary will advance to the general election

on November 3. The winner will take the

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

ed. If there was anything else all four agreed

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

responsible absentee landlords accountable.

Most of the fi rst half hour was spent an-

swering questions about housing and prop-

erty issues, like evicted renters leaving fur-

niture in the yard and nobody bothering to

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

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

bors would call, it would help a lot. Part

of the problem is that the landlord says,

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

make it a little more oriented toward those

landlords — those landlords who are there

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

Cook responded, “This absentee land-

lord thing defi nitely has to stop. I know this

is a diffi cult thing to stop, but people pick

up 40 to 50 homes and then they let them

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

city and we can’t renew our neighborhoods

if we allow this.” Ujvagi suggested recognizing the good

landlords as well as the bad landlords,

saying that will provide encouragement

Candidates vow to get after absentee landlords


About 75 persons involved in agri-

culture were warned Wednesday to brace

themselves for their property tax bills in

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

Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez, told

the growers during a town hall meeting

held at the Oregon Municipal Complex to

explain changes in the Current Agricultural

Use Valuation property tax program. “We

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

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

Sandusky County, are going through a sex-

ennial reappraisal and 19, including Lucas

and Ottawa counties, are undergoing a

triennial update of their property valua-

tions. Although data used by the Ohio

Department of Taxation in the CAUV for-

mula indicate that farmers in the past two

years on average have realized lower prices

Brace for “sticker shock,” farmers told

for corn, wheat and soybeans, property

taxes for farmland enrolled in CAUV are

expected to rise signifi cantly.

Rick Hoffman, an attorney with Local

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

is performed for each of the 3,514 soil types

The price for corn that came into the for-

to $4.41 for 2013. Soybeans had a drop

Hayes’ era. The display offers guests some inter-active opportunities to run some of the trains and some of the display’s special features, such as the Ferris wheel.

The Wood County Throwdown, a com-petition among chefs and cooks from area assisted living facilities, retirement com-munities and long term care facilities took place Oct. 3 at Penta Career Center. Participating teams included Brookdale of Bowling Green, Lakes of Monclova, The Manor at Perrysburg and Wood Haven Health Care. Each team cre-ated an appetizer, entrée and dessert for at-tendees and judges to sample. More than 125 attendees voted for their favorite in each category. Wood Haven Health Care, led by Delia Warren, won for best appetizer for Tortilla Soup. Brookdale of Bowling Green, led by James Price, took home the awards for best entrée and best dessert for their braised pork loin and cherry almond tart, respec-tively. The Throwdown champion team was decided upon by celebrity judges Terry Kretz (district manager of Main Street Ventures), George Kamilaris (Georgio’s Café

Chefs compete at Wood Co. ThrowdownInternational) and Marissa Rife (executive chef for BGSU Dining Services). Lakes o f Monclova, led by C hristopher Rajner, won the top prize. Rajner’s three-courses consisted of a spicy crab salad as the appetizer, beer braised short ribs as the entrée and a chocolate cake for dessert. Rajner has worked in various hotels and restaurants prior to working at Lakes of Monclova and enjoys making desserts, especially pastries. He wanted to try some-thing different for the Throwdown. “We typically do not serve the variety of food we made at the event,” Rajner said. “I found it was a great way to showcase our talents and create some dishes that every-one can enjoy.” All of the recipes from the event are featured on the WCCOA blog, which can be found at woodcountycommitteeonaging.blogspot.com or at www.wccoa.net. For more information on the programs and services WCCOA provides, call 419-353-5661, 800-367-4935 or visit www.wc-coa.net.
