Oregon inks pacton enterprise zonefor $652 millionenergy projectBy Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

Oregon council on Monday will con-sider entering into an enterprise zone agree-ment with Oregon Clean Energy LLC., for a tax exemption of 100 percent for 15 years on the increase in the assessed value of real and tangible property. Oregon Clean Energy plans to construct an 800 megawatt energy generation facil-ity for $652 million on a 30 acre parcel of land at 816 North Lallendorf Road, located within the enterprise zone. Upon comple-tion, the facility will convert clean natural gas to electricity. There will be enough new electricity for 500,000 homes. “We think this is a great arrangement,” Mayor Mike Seferian said at a committee of the whole meeting last Monday. “We’re really proud of this project.” The Enterprise Zone Act allows coun-ties, with the consent of affected municipal corporations or townships, to execute such agreements for the purpose of establishing, expanding, renovating or occupying facili-ties and hiring new employees and/or pre-serving jobs within the enterprise zone in exchange for tax incentives. The project is expected to create about 450 construction jobs over three years, and 26 new full-time, permanent jobs once the facility begins operations, with a total an-nual payroll of about $3.2 million. The city has already approved an agreement with Clean Energy for the plant’s use of the raw water intake system that will generate about $1 million per year, which will help keep the water and sewer rates low, said Administrator Mike Beazley. The Oregon City school board has also approved a tax incentive donation agree-ment with Clean Energy, which will annu-ally contribute funds to the district for 15 years. For the fi rst fi ve years, Clean Energy will pay the district $850,000 annually. The amount increases to $1.2 million annually for the next fi ve years, then $1,450,000 an-nually for fi ve years afterwards. At the end of the 15 year agreement, the district will have received payments totaling $17.5 mil-lion from the Clean Energy agreement. “The schools come out ahead. It’s a

Incumbent Mike Bell was on the de-fense during much of a Toledo mayoral fo-rum hosted by the East Toledo Club and The Press Thursday. On the offense? Challenger D. Michael Collins, a District 2 city councilman. To-ledo voters will determine on November 5 whether Bell remains mayor for four more years or if Collins takes offi ce in 2014. Collins hit home while speaking to 75 residents who showed up at the East Toledo Senior Center in Navarre Park Thursday af-ternoon.

“Unfortunately, East Toledo has not been addressed as a part of the city except when it’s convenient for East Toledo to be addressed as such, and that’s a shameful statement to make,” Collins said.

It must have been what residents want-ed to hear because they burst into applause before Collins could fi nish answering a question about housing issues.

“I plan on rebuilding our neighbor-hoods,” Collins continued. “What I believe we need to do is get our community service offi cer, code inspector, and a nuisance abate-

ment director and have them specifi cally assigned to the sector that belongs to East Toledo.

“They would be reporting to the may-or’s offi ce through the chief of police every quarter as to what the outcomes have been, what they have done, and they will work as a team and they will work exclusively to the neighborhoods because what has to happen is the neighbors have to believe and have trust in the city. The city has to have the trust of the neighborhoods.

“We will bring that trust back together. East Toledo is part of Toledo and not a step-child which identifi es itself as a zip code,”

Collins said.Bell responded, “It’s like we’re treating

East Toledo like it’s some type of second tier portion of our city. I’m telling you that we don’t. We are actually creating an environ-ment by (rebuilding) seven or eight roads that we’ve tore up and put back together. But we have 84 square miles that we have to look after and we have to be fair to all of it.”

The razing of the Collins Park pool was one item Collins used to emphasize his point — saying it never would have happened un-der his watch, adding that he would turn recreation over to a public-private partner-ship. Bell responded that the pool was in such poor shape that opening it would have risked the lives of youth swimming there and the city did not have the money to reno-vate it.

$8 million or $48 million?The candidates were at odds over the

amount of the budget defi cit when Bell took offi ce four years ago. Bell says there was a $48 million defi cit, which has been elimi-nated, while Collins says the defi cit was $8 million.

Preventing crashes Lucas County has been awarded a $65,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Ohio Traffi c Safety Offi ce for the 2014 federal fi scal year, which began Oct. 1, 2013 and ends Sept. 30, 2014. The goal of the grant is to reduce mo-tor vehicle crashes, along with the deaths, injuries and costs associated with these crashes. The Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West, under the direction of Superin-tendent Sandra Frisch, will once again be the administering agency for this grant, as it has done since 1988. “Focus areas for the grant year will center on teen driver safety, increasing seat belt use, reducing impaired driving, and promoting motorcycle safety” stated Gwen Neundorfer, coordinator for the Lucas County Traffi c Safety Program. In Lucas County in fi scal year 2013 (Oct. 1, 2012 – Sept. 30, 2013), 34 people lost their lives in 33 fatal crashes. Eight of the 34 deaths were motorcyclists and sev-en were pedestrians. Thirty-percent of the crashes involved alcohol or drugs with an average BAC of .211. Sixty-fi ve percent of the people that had seat belts available were not buckled up at the time of their crash. The Traffi c Safety Program is directed by a Coalition, which includes representa-tives from law enforcement agencies, city, county and state engineers, hospital trauma coordinators, businesses, citizens, and oth-er agencies focused on safety issues.

Woodcarver’s ShowWoodcarvers from throughout the Mid-

west will gather for the 27th Annual Wood-carver’s Show and Sale at Sauder Village in Archbold Saturday, Oct. 26 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 27 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The annual autumn event will include unique woodcarving artistry, family fun and traditional down-on-the-farm activities. On both days, artists and suppliers from the tri-state region will fi ll Founder’s Hall exhibits. Guests will have a chance to see the artists and purchase their works, as well as learn more about the traditional art form through various demonstrations planned throughout the weekend. Another highlight of the show will be special performances by Wes Linenkugal and his band, who will perform in Found-er’s Hall lobby from 12:30-4:30 p.m. Satur-day and from 12:30-4 p.m. Sunday. There is a “Show-Only” admission of $7 (senior and AAA discounts apply). Saud-er Village will close for the regular season Oct. 27 but will offer Holiday Lantern Tours Nov. 30 and Dec. 6, 7, 13 and 14. Call 800-590-9755 or visit www.saudervillage.org for more information and to make a reservation for the Holiday Lantern Tours.

Clothing drive The twelfth annual Children Help-ing Children C.H.C. clothing sale will be held Saturday, Nov. 2 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at Shoreline Church (formerly Oak Harbor United Brethren), 769 N. Locust St. (SR 19), Oak Harbor. All clothing will be sold for $1 per bag. Coats will be sold for $1 each. All proceeds from the clothing sale will go toward help-ing the Ottawa County Holiday Bureau pro-vide toys for children in Ottawa County at Christmas time. Donations of gently used clothing may be dropped off at Shoreline Church the week of Oct. 28.

Eastwood ballot Voters in the Eastwood School District will decide a renewal request Nov. 5 for a 2-mill, 5-year permanent improvement levy. Dave Michel, district treasurer, said the levy generates about $265,095 annually and is used for purchasing equipment, building repairs and other related expenses but not for salaries and operations. Eastwood voters will also decide three uncontested races for seats on the board of education. Incumbents Roger Bostdorf, De-nis Helm and Sherri Sheffl er are the only candidates for three open seats.

were balancing the budget, restoring a de-pleted rainy day fund, improving infrastruc-ture, and boosting safety forces manpower. He stressed that the budget was balanced without raising taxes and staying “within the guidelines” of what citizens wanted.

Bell says the city dedicated more than $153 million to roadway infrastructure, hired 190 police offi cers and 192 fi refi ght-ers since taking offi ce in 2010 and reduced crime 22 percent since 2012 when the city implemented its Toledo Community Initia-tive to Reduce Violence program.

Press General Manager John Szozda, the forum moderator, noted that the aver-age East Toledo home sale price in 2004 was $46,284, but for the fi rst nine months of this year it fell to $15,159.

“We have to create an environment that allows home values to rise,” Bell said. “Ob-viously, what has happened in the national economy, and Toledo is not exempt from that, is that there has been a reduction in home values throughout the United States.”

Bell said since 2010, the city and the Lucas County Land Bank have demolished 1,571 buildings, including 135 houses in East Toledo. Using federal funds, 131 new housing units have been constructed, anoth-er 338 have been rehabilitated, and another 313 are in progress of rehabilitation.

Collins noted that 54 percent of Tole-do’s homes are not owner-occupied. Szozda, in stating his question about home-owner-ship, added that a California real estate fi rm purchased 40 Toledo properties, including many in East Toledo, which adds to the home ownership dilemma. One local real es-tate company averages fi ve sales per month to such investors.

“It certainly displays a quality of life that is lost in the city of Toledo,” Collins said.

Bell notes that the Department of Neigh-

borhoods has provided rental assistance to 65 clients and a down-payment assistance program has helped 27-fi rst time homeown-ers achieve home ownership.

“It isn’t that the mayor or anybody else doesn’t care about trying to get people to purchase their homes,” Bell said. “It’s about creating an environment that allows them to be able to buy a house.”

Bell noted that we need to fi nd jobs that are sustainable for more than a couple years so they can afford to purchase homes instead of renting. The mayor said 30 new businesses have come to Toledo in the past year, but marketing efforts need to be sus-tained.

“I think we’re starting to get people back to work. We’re starting to get busi-nesses that will come to the city of Toledo, where it’s allowing for us to now start to rec-reate ourselves. We’re doing the things that I think are necessary from the standpoint of being able to recreate the infrastructure. We’re fi xing the roads out there, we’re trying to get some of the native housing that needs to be demolished out of here, and so it takes time, but it’s a matter of gradually building the quality back to where it was at.

“We went through a hard time. It takes time to turn things around,” Bell continued.

“But, as I was riding here on Broadway and on roads on this particular side of town, we’re making the roads and this portion of our city better. So, we just need to keep do-ing the things that we are doing. Now that we have our budget stabilized, we can actually approach this in a more aggressive way, but for a while there we were in a bad way.”

Electric trainThere were new ideas, too — Collins

said he would like to see a plan to build an electric train from International Park to the new Great Lakes Museum come to fruition. He said the idea has been kicked around for two years, and the train would reenergize plans to develop the 127-acre Marina Dis-trict.

Bell said the rest of the world needs to have a better understanding of where Toledo is — something his administration is work-ing on.

“We are sitting here at I-80/90, and I-75 runs both north and south, and so as a city itself, Toledo is sitting at probably the most prime location in the United States,” Bell said. “But we have been very much un-der marketed. We have now done the things necessary to, in some way, make people aware that Toledo exists. It’s not as simple as making something shovel-ready, but let-ting people know Toledo exists.”

Collins commended the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority and industrial devel-opment happening at the Chevron property on Front Street in East Toledo, but he said that the city needs to market itself differ-ently.

“We should get back to the shipbuilding that we had in the past — an environment that was very productive to the city of To-ledo,” Collins said. “There is no explainable reason why Toledo has been for decades an underachieving city. There are excuses for that, but there is no reason.”

Toledo mayoral debate focuses on East Toledo““It’s like we’re treating

East Toledo like it’s some type of second tier portion of our city. I’m

telling you that we don’t.

Levy estimator Lucas County property owners can now see how a specifi c levy will affect their taxes via a Levy Estimator Tool, which has been added to AREIS Online, which can be accessed at the county’s website at www.co.lucas.oh.us. The tool displays all the currently proposed levies by district. The cal-culations are estimates based on the current tax duplicate, meaning this is what taxes would have been had these levies been in effect today. The estimator refl ects a noticeable increase in some jurisdictions’ prop-erty tax due to the elimination of state subsidies previously refl ected in new and replacement tax levies. The tax increase was instituted by Ohio Gov. John Kasich and the State of Ohio leg-islature in the Budget Bill passed over the summer. The levy estimator tool is designed to assist taxpayers in making informed decisions about the impact that pro-posed tax levies may have on their property taxes. The site also includes a Tax Dis-tributor tool, which provides a break-down of the amount of property tax paid on each parcel by government and fund type.

The Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank, started in 2009, anticipates a shortage of food due to a drop in food donations. The program makes pet food available to fi nancially strapped pet owners as well as to people caring for free-roaming cats in Lucas, Wood and Monroe counties. ‘This program helps make sure pets and stray cats do not go hungry, and helps owners keep their pets even in tough fi nan-cial times,” said Jill Borkowski, market-ing director of Humane Ohio, a non-profi t group that offers low cost spay and neuter services for dogs and cats. “The food bank program also helps en-sure that people do not have to share their own meal with their pets and go hungry themselves,” she said. The group distributed almost 70,000 lbs. of pet food in 2012 and is expected to give out at least 80,000 lbs this year. However, one of the pet food stores, which had provided the largest donation of food to the program by giving bags of food that were torn or slightly damaged, will no longer be doing that, said Borkowski. “One of the pet supply stores who was a huge pet food donor had a change in cor-porate policy and the loss of food was un-planned for and is causing a shortage,” she said. “We rely entirely on donations from the public to make this program possible. We have no budget to go out and buy food unless we’ve received monetary donations that are earmarked especially for the pet food bank. We do ask pet food bank clients to donate $1 per month if they can so we

Pet food bank expects shortage, seeks donationsget a little money that way to purchase food as needed but it’s not a lot. The biggest rea-son this program is possible is because of people in the community who donate a bag or can of food at Humane Ohio or in our pet food collection bins at Pet Finatics in Or-egon, Pet Supplies Plus stores, Petco, and Walt Churchill’s Market in Maumee,” said Borkowski.

The food bank provides wet and dry dog and cat food as well as bird food and small animal food, when possible. “It re-ally just depends on what gets donated,” she said. “We try to have special grant funding set aside to help our pet food bank clients cover the spay/neuter cost,” she said. Pet owners and free-roaming cat care-takers in Lucas, Wood and Monroe coun-ties are eligible as long as all of the pets in the household or all of the cats in a colony are spay/neutered. People can donate food at Humane Ohio, Monday – Friday from 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., or in pet food collection bins at Petco, Pet Supplies Plus, Pet Finatics, and Walt Churchill’s Market in Maumee. They can also donate food at any of the Humane Ohio events and fundraisers like Pet Photos with Santa at Lambertville Hardware, 8100 Secor Rd, three miles north of the state line, on Nov. 23rd and Dec. 7th from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Groups, organizations and businesses have also held fundraising events to help the food bank, she said. The Church of St. Andrew United Methodist at Heatherdowns and Byrne held its fourth annual “Pets in Poverty” event and pet food drive in September. The event collected about 3,500 lbs of pet food and $110 in monetary donations.

A Girl Scout Troop from the Francis-can Academy just held a pet food drive at school, which collected more than 100 lbs of food and a $50 monetary donation. And Brown and Brown of Toledo and Omnicare both held “dress down” days and allowed their employees to wear casu-al clothes to work on a specifi c day if they brought a pet food donation for the Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank. “We have not yet had to turn people away and we hope we never do (especially as we head into the holiday season and the giving season), but it does get very stress-ful some weeks when we’re super low and there’s a long line of people in need,” said Borkowski. Since starting four years ago, the need for the food bank has grown. In 2012, the food bank served an average of 230 house-holds per month and is serving an aver-age of 283 households per month through 2013. “As long as our food supply allows for it, we’ll give people food for up to two pets or free-roaming cats each month,” she said. If you would like to help the food bank, please donate wet or dry dog or cat food or make a monetary donation earmarked espe-cially for the pet food bank. You can send checks with “pet food bank” in the memo to Humane Ohio, 3131 Tremainsville Road, Toledo, Ohio, 43613, or donate online at www. Humaneohio.org. For more infor-mation, contact Humane Ohio at 419-266-5607. “Every single bag or can of food donat-ed is one more person helped and pet that is fed,” she said.

The Owl and the WoodpeckerA new exhibit at the National Center for Nature Photography in Secor Metropark, The Owl & the Woodpecker, introduces visitorsto the most important species of owls and woodpeckers in North America. The Owl & the Woodpecker is based on a book of the same title by Seattle photographer and author Paul Bannick. An opening reception will be held on November 2 from 1 to 3 p.m., with a program by Nature’s Nursery at 2 p.m. featuring live owls. The exhibit is on view Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. November through February. Admission is free.

real win for our schools,” said Beazley. “When Mr. Beazley and I chose to go after this project, we had to think about whether this would be a great fi t for the city,” said Seferian. “We didn’t have to think that long.” William Martin and Bill Siderewicz, managing partners of Oregon Clean Energy LLC, which is owned by North America Project Development LLC, of Boston, were at the meeting. “We have been coming for three years. We plan on having the plant operating in the summer of 2017, so the simple math is seven years to develop a power project,” said Martin. “One of the criteria that we used was, `Do we think we can work in the town, with the town? Do we think there’s going to be support?’ I have to say that this has been a terrifi c town to work in for the past three years,” said Martin. “We’re not just saying that. It’s just simply true. Very professional. We’re very impressed by the care you all have for the city itself, and it helps us in-tegrate our work with the needs of the city. We’re really glad we chose Oregon over other communities.” An example of cooperation is the air permit the company was able to secure in the summer, he said. “It’s the single, largest achievement a plant can have, other than its contracts and actually producing electricity,” said Miller. “And we’ve had public meetings in the community. There was 100 percent support by the community. We were able to gain the air permit at a very good pace that re-ally enabled us to continue having the sum-mer of 2014 as the construction start date, and the summer of 2017 as the date we’ll be generating electricity.” Martin said local and regional contrac-tors will be hired, and construction will be done by union labor. “It’s practical to do that. You have fi rms in the area that do excellent work. It’s in the best interest of the community,” said Martin. Siderewicz said the 26 new full-time, permanent jobs at the plant will be paid an average of $50 per hour. “We’re not here to offer employment

for more typical service jobs. This is some-thing that requires skill capability dedica-tion to make it work properly,” he said. “And on that front, we’re hoping to coor-dinate our efforts with the high school and have a learning center for energy, math-ematics and science, and have people come from the school into the program to see how this works - to take natural gas out of the earth, put it through some mechanical device, and produce electricity, while not harming the environment. So we look for-ward to the day when the facility becomes a learning center and would enhance the learning process with these skills that are so important in today’s society to advance ourselves in terms of technology.”

Siderewicz said the facility would last well into the future. “This kind of asset lasts over 40 years.

That’s $109 million in taxes back to the schools, city and county. This over the long run will be a very positive economic boost for the community,” said Siderewicz. Dr. Lonny Rivera, superintendent of the Oregon City Schools District, said at the meeting he was pleased by the funds the district will receive as a result of the project. In our day and age of school funding, with the uncertainties that we have, this is something that we’re looking forward to. It’s much needed. It helps us in quite a big way,” said Rivera. “Beyond the monies,” he added, “the educational experience our kids will get is going to really come out. It’s an incredible idea.”

““I have to say that this has been a terrifi c

town to work in for the past three years.

A safety issue was the chief reason Covenant Harbor manager Sue Perrin said she visited Oak Harbor Village Council on Monday. Since the village opened parking on the north end of Veterans Park for the fl ag foot-ball league, parking issues have posed seri-ous problems for nearby Covenant Harbor, a senior living community on Finke Road, Perrin told council. Game spectators have been parking along the apartment complex driveway and on the grass. “It’s not that we don’t want them there but it can present a problem,” Perrin said diplomatically. The biggest single issue is that of safety, she said. Fire trucks and EMS vehicles will have a tough time entering the property because of these vehicles. Fire department offi cials have come on site with a truck to simulate and verify blocked access issues. Grass ruts caused by the vehicles also create areas where water collects and could be cause for citations during Housing and Urban Development Department inspec-tions. Perrin said she alerted council now in

Park overfl ow plagues Covenant Harbor residentshope that members could help alleviate the problem by spring. Council agreed that it “was not really a parking issue but a walking issue.” That is, spectators were using the Covenant Harbor driveway so they do not have to walk as far to playing fi elds. Football league offi cials have been made aware of the situation and have asked parents personally and via facebook page not to park on the apartment property. “It’s getting out to the parents but not the grand-parents, aunts and uncles,” Mayor Bill Eb-erle said. At present, the Covenant has only “no parking, private property signs” posted to warn off illegal parking. Council members suggested the compa-ny take a hard line and create tow zones. “Corporate doesn’t want to do that,” Perrin responded. They’d like Covenant staff to work out an amicable solution, she said. “It might stop it,” Eberle suggested. “All you have to do is tow one vehicle.” Council noted that the more immedi-ate concern is there is still one game – the Super bowl – scheduled for this Saturday. “Chief, anything we can do temporar-ily?” Eberle asked Police Chief Steve Wei-

rich. Weirich said he will have dayshift pa-trol the area during the game in attempt to stop the illegal parking. Perrin also suggest-ed putting up the temporary signage used by the village during the Apple Festival. “But some kind of (permanent) signage is going to have to be done,” Weirich said. He suggested a sign stating “Tenants and guests only.” Perrin was one of two visitors who had requested to speak during the public seg-ment of the meeting. The other person, landlord Adam Sny-der, talked to council about its handling of its property maintenance code. He called the village hypocritical in its actions. Snyder gave background on what prompted his visit – a tenant who had re-ceived a letter from the village regarding possible penalties for not mowing grass in a timely manner according to the village property maintenance code. The tenant, he said, “had trouble get-ting a lawnmower” but has since mowed the lawn. Snyder said, “I feel the village doesn’t clean up its own backyard and then is too quick to judge.” Snyder produced photos of the new

1.5-megawatt solar panel fi eld erected in the last year on seven acres of village land in a partnership with Columbus-based So-lar Planet. The solar panel fi eld is obscured by high vegatation. The administrator complains about high grass on his property; yet, you can’t even see the solar panels, Snyder said. Mayor Bill Eberle said Solar Planet is responsible for maintenance inside the fence. A private contractor services the property for the company and they have been having standing water issues, he add-ed. “I know it looks bad back there, it’s a reclamation area,” the mayor said. Snyder asked what the mayor meant. Eberle explained that brush and broken concrete from village projects also collect in the adjacent area. “It will never look like a park but I agree with you,” Eberle told Snyder. Councilwoman Donna Wendt asked why it took so long for something to be done. “I don’t know,” the mayor replied. “I have been in contact with them and they have been stalling me.”


Oak Harbor Village Council is on the hunt for a new engineering fi rm to help solve its sewage back fl ow problem. Council voted unanimously Monday night not to hire its regular consultant Poggemeyer Design Group of Bowling Green to undertake a proposed two-phase “no feasible alternatives study” to investi-gate malfunctions that left some residents mopping up messes in their homes after heavy rains. Instead, members directed Village Ad-ministrator Robert Pauley to begin a four-month process to fi nd another engineering fi rm for environmental issues. The move stems from Poggemeyer staff designing the combined sewer overfl ow pond that fell apart more than a year ago when the walls crumbled. The deteriora-tion caused the village to take contractors to court for restitution. Poggemeyer coughed up $600,000 of its own money without go-ing through the court process, Mayor Bill Eberle said in a later interview. Before the vote, the group went into a lengthy discussion weighing the pros and cons of using Poggemeyer for the environ-mental study. “If we had the luxury of time I would say do this (project) in ’14,” Councilman Don Douglas said. Others contended the four-month de-lay would be well spent putting another capable company at the helm of a problem that has grown in recent years. Councilman Jon Fickert insisted that the village should not employ the company that likely created the problem. He and oth-ers agreed that the project needed “a third set of eyes” to review the materials in an unbiased manner. He also admonished Pauley for not staying in touch with residents who had fi lled the council chambers to complain

Oak Harbor drops Poggemeyer for sewer projectabout sewer backup issues. “We have their addresses,” Fickert said “… Why aren’t we talking to them?” Councilman Donna Wendt also em-phasized the need to keep these residents up to date with village efforts to fi x the problem. “As soon as we get another big rain,” she added, “this room is going to be full again.” Sewer treatment plant superintendent Jerry Neff offered his opinion prior to the vote. “Personally, I don’t care what engineer-ing fi rm you use. I’m not married to any engineering fi rm. But maybe it’s time to let someone else look at the data,” he said. Eberle explained that Poggemeyer’s previous designs were based on rainfall data collected in Fremont, the nearest designated national geological site and re-search went back about 50 years. Yet, the village has experienced some of its rainiest days in recent years and village employees have kept more in-depth, in-house records that are now available. “One storm we got 7 inches of rain in three hours,” Pauley agreed. The study is necessary for a couple of reasons. The village is currently waiting on an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency re-sponse to its request to modify its permit and open the combine sewer overfl ow sta-tion at Portage Street to relieve some sys-tem stress. Oak Harbor has nine overfl ow stations. Three can be opened. The other six must remain closed. Study results are needed to move for-ward for the permit and future projects, Pauley said. The fi rst phase of the Poggemeyer pro-posal, slated to cost $9,800 to evaluate like-ly causes of the problems and various rain-fall data, would have taken about 90 days to complete. The second phase focusing on fl ow monitoring at manholes would take about three to four months and includes no

price estimate. One of the proposed projects in the wings is a $1.9 million separation upgrade that would include two streets. “The majority of the village is not sep-arated and that’s the problem,” the mayor explained. The wastewater treatment plant has been in operation since 1958, with major upgrades in 1975, 1989 and 2000, accord-ing to the village website. The biggest future undertaking by far would be addressing sewer separation along Church Street, which affects drainage for about 300 acres, Eberle said. The sewer regularly fl ows from a regulator at Church Street. Councilman Jim Seaman, who lives on Church Street, was adamant he would not support such a large-scale project at this time. Village sewer rates, which are already some of the highest in the state, would go up across the board, Seaman said. And, he noted, Church Street residents would be hit with the additional property assessments and tap-in fees. Fickert suggested later that dropping Poggemeyer for the environmental study might be a step toward “slipping away from Poggemeyer.” His peers defended other work under-taken by Poggemeyer on behalf of the vil-

lage. “Engineering for Park Street turned out to be beautiful,” one stated. Eberle said he would contact Pogge-meyer about the vote. He wanted clarifi ca-tion though. “This is strictly on the envi-ronmental side?” he asked. “I’m not saying get rid of them. I’m just saying for this project,” Wendt said.

Employee returns to work A village worker fi red for insubordina-tion this summer is back on the job. Joe Reau returned to service Monday after wrapping up the dispute with village offi cials. Village Administrator Robert Pau-ley fi red Reau in late June for attempting to tape a pre-disciplinary hearing. But he was recently reinstated after going through the in-house appeals process, Mayor Bill Eberle said Tuesday. Grievance committee members rec-ommended a 30-day suspension, which is considered to be served. Reau also signed an agreement, came back to work and is currently on an 18-month probationary pe-riod. “The bottom line is it came down to my call and I brought him back,” Eberle said. “I think everybody probably deserves a second chance. This was an unfortunate situation. And, I think if cooler heads had prevailed, we could have avoided this whole situation.” Reau, who had been working at the wastewater treatment plant prior to his dismissal, came back to work in the electri-cal department. He has been an employee of the village since 1997 and was earning about $25 an hour as a Class III wastewater treatment plant operator when the dispute occurred. He won’t receive any back pay either, the mayor said. Reau collected unemploy-ment during the grievance period. Eberle said fi nding a new spot for Reau was easy given that he is a skilled worker and holds various licenses.

When Daniel Fitzpatrick started out in the restaurant business nearly 40 years ago, he began as a cook and bottle washer for Burger King. His duties included every-thing from managing the grill to mopping fl oors.

Today is a much different story. Fitzpatrick is currently the president

and CEO of Quality Dining, Inc., a corpora-tion that owns and operates 223 restaurants across the nation – including 165 Burger Kings. But while his title and job duties may have changed, Fitzpatrick still sees one major similarity in the job he fi rst held and his current position.

“In one respect, I’m still the leader,” said Fitzpatrick. “I still have to bring en-ergy to what we do. I’ve got to be as much of a spiritual leader about being excited ev-eryday to serve our guests and manage our business well.”

En route to becoming the businessman he is today, some key parts of Fitzpatrick’s success started while he attended Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School.

The 1975 alum was very active in high school, participating in athletics and vari-ous other activities the school offered. But in addition, he was also very active with his family and worked long hours after school, all while instilling the values that were re-enforced at Strict Catholic.

“My family, myself, all of us are pretty grateful that we had the opportunity to go to Stritch,” said Fitzpatrick. “There were probably a thousand intersections in our lives where things could have went well or went bad – and things went well.”

Fitzpatrick and his family lived in a rough neighborhood and went through some trying times. His father suffered a massive stroke at age 43 and spent 17 years dependent on others.

“My mother was the principle care-giver but we all took our shots. Whether it was feeding him, bathing him, bathroom, TV and even reading to him, whatever it was, we helped out,” said Fitzpatrick. “At one point in time, I thought everyone had a hospital bed in their living room with one of their parents living in it.

“That was a huge burden for my moth-

er, but it instilled in us this work ethic (that my family has), because I was basically a fulltime worker.”

Fitzpatrick has not forgotten where his

roots and continues to be a big supporter of Catholic schools. Over the course of his career, he has generously given back to the Catholic community.

Like the business side of his life, Fitz-patrick sees the money he gives to Catholic schools as an investment, and it is an in-vestment he feels has yielded a great return over the years.

In addition to supporting schools and helping give countless children a chance at a successful life, Fitzpatrick is helping young people prosper in his own business.

After buying a number of restaurants in the Tampa market, Fitzpatrick spent two weeks in Florida training employees. In the process, he also promoted a number of crew members to entry-level management positions, which is when his latest awe-struck story begins.

“As I’m doing this (training manag-ers), one young lady says, ‘Can I have a moment?’ I said sure and she got up and walked away from the table,” said Fitzpat-rick. “She comes back to the table after a couple of minutes and I asked if everything was all right. She says ‘Look, no one’s ever believed in me before. The fact that you’d give me this opportunity at this point in my life is extraordinary.’ ”

While the job opportunity was a bit overwhelming, Fitzpatrick’s support didn’t stop there. He gave her a pep talk, and ad-vice she could use outside the business world as well.

“I said (to the young lady) ‘Well, quite frankly, I’m not sure you believe in your-self. As I saw in you, you need to believe in yourself. You gave us a chance to believe in you and we couldn’t be happier.’

“This woman is just doing a terrifi c job now. That type of touch is what we see in this business all the time and that’s kind of what jazzes me up.”

Gates sought for rail crossingBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

A resolution of support for the instal-lation of safety gates at a rail crossing on Lemoyne Road has been approved by the Lake Township trustees. The crossing, located near the Lake School District campus on Lemoyne, has been identifi ed as dangerous by the founda-tion, Angels on Track, because of its prox-imity to the schools and the high number of teen drivers traveling on the road to and from the high school. Another factor noted by Angels on Track is the angle the tracks cross the road, making it diffi cult to see down the track. The lighting system at the crossing was upgraded in April 2013 but the crossing is ranked low – 5,648 out of 5,800 – in a pri-oritized list of crossings in the state by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. The resolution approved by the trust-ees says eight school buses, carrying an av-erage of 48 students, travel over the crossing eight times a day “…and the lack of gates creates a compromising safety factor…” Richard Welling, a township trustee, said there are on average two trains a day using the crossing and the trains aren’t usually traveling at a high rate of speed. Trustees Ron Sims and Melanie Bowen agreed with Welling before voting on the resolution it was better to “err on the side of safety” as faster trains may become the norm in the future. Jason Gilham, a PUCO spokesman, said the crossing’s low ranking refl ects the train count and the speed of the trains, which is usually only 10 miles per hour. The lights were upgraded to 12-inch LED lights from 8-inch incandescent lights, he said, noting only open, public at-grade crossings are included in the rankings and accident data from fi ve consecutive years are included in the calculation. Only two other crossings in Wood County, CSX crossings at U.S. 20 and E. Broadway that rank 5,693rd and 5,700th, are ranked lower than the Lemoyne Road crossing.

No indictment forWoodmore football After listening to the testimony of 49 witnesses, an Ottawa County grand jury has decided to not issue an indictment re-garding a practice session last month of the Woodmore High School football team. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said the Bureau and Criminal Investigation and attorneys from his offi ce conducted a “thorough investigation” of the matter that occurred on or about Sept. 10. DeWine’s offi ce was requested to in-vestigate by Ottawa County Prosecutor Mark Mulligan, who recused himself from the case because he has a son on the team. The parents of a 16-year-old player said their son suffered injuries during a drill in which some players were told to stand with their hands behind their back while other players ran into them. They described their son as being un-responsive when he arrived home. They drove him to St. Charles Mercy Hospital. From there he was transported by ambu-lance to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo. The resignation of the team’s assistant coach, Todd Bringman, was announced during a special meeting of the Woodmore school board on Sept. 25. The grand jury was in session for two days to hear testimony.

Social service agencies in Wood and Sandusky counties are asking for addition-al millage Nov. 5 to maintain programs. The Wood County Board of Devel-opmental Disabilities is seeking voter ap-proval of a 2.95-mill, 5-year levy that will, if passed, generate about $8 million annu-ally. Also known as Wood Lane, the board provides specialized services through pro-grams such as Early Intervention, Wood Lane School and Wood Lane Industries. It also provides residential service programs. Melanie Stretchberry, superintendent, said no new programs are included in the agency’s fi nancial forecast but the number of persons needing service is expected to climb. “The intensity of the needs of individ-uals served has increased,” she said. “The number of individuals who experience and survive trauma at an early age has signifi -cantly increased with improving health care and advances in medical technology.” Since 2000, a Life Enhancement Op-tions program that provides structured day and older adult services and adult recre-ation has been added. Also, the agency implemented a tran-sition program to provide assistance for those between 14 and 22 with a develop-mental disability to obtain skills needed for employment.

Wood, Sandusky counties

Agencies seek millage for continuing services Stretchberry said cost cuts have been enacted, including $175,000 in spending reductions on capital expenditures, drop-ping a $64,000 annual lease with the Jordan Family Center at the end of the year, and reducing co-pays for programs. “The only non-mandated services in-clude the school and Special Olympics,” Stretchberry said. “Wood County is one of only eight counties that continue to oper-ate a school but will continue to do so. The alternative to a successful levy is simply to cut staff and reduce Wood Lane’s servic-es.” The agency is projecting a general op-erating fund balance of about $7.1 million by the end of 2013 – a decrease of about $5.3 million from December 2012. The an-nual budget is about $29.9 million.

Sandusky County In Sandusky County, the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board is seeking voter approval of a 0.8-mill, 5-year levy for operating expenses. The levy will generate about $900,000 annually if passed. Nancy Cochran, executive director of the board, said the agency has since 2009 followed a policy for allocating levy fund-ing: 10 percent for board operations, 10 percent for emergency services, 20 percent for local initiatives and 60 percent for cli-ent services. She said the local initiatives include programs operated by agencies such as Family and Children First Council, the

county health department, schools and courts that apply for funding with a 20 per-cent match and a plan to keep the programs intact when MHRS funding ends. Although the MHRS board’s jurisdic-tion also covers Seneca and Wyandot coun-ties, the levy will be used only Sandusky County services, Cochran said, adding the other counties are funded by separate lev-ies. Cochran sees additional challenges looming for the board. “We are talking with school personnel who are stating kids today are facing challenges to their mental health that are very disconcerting: sexting, cyber-bullying, dealing with families involved in destructive behaviors, ” she said. Sandusky County is also a pilot county for a medication assisted treatment pro-gram. “Prescription drug abuse is a serious problem, growing worse because the street value has outpaced the means to pay,” she said. “So young adults are turning to heroin, which is not the heroin of the ‘60s. Today’s heroin is much more potent and addictive and it’s hitting every socio-eco-nomic class. We are working closely with Firelands Counseling and Recovery Servic-es and the pharmacy company that makes Vivitrol, which cannot be altered to become a street drug. That is why we chose Vivitrol rather than Suboxone, which had a history of alteration.” The Sandusky County Health Depart-ment is seeking renewal of a 0.5-mill, 5-year levy for operating expenses.

Heating help On Sept. 11, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) issued its annual Winter Reconnection Order, which runs through April 15. Guidelines include: • For customers who have been disconnected, payment of a reconnec-tion fee of no more than $36 can also be required. If the utility’s reconnec-tion fee is higher, the balance may be billed to the customer the following month. • Households with incomes at or below 175 percent of the federal pov-erty guidelines ($41,213 gross annual income for a household of four) may use funds provided through the Emer-gency Home Energy Assistance Pro-gram (E-HEAP) to pay make the one-time payment. • Former Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP Plus) and Gradu-ate PIPP Plus customers can use the Winter Reconnection Order to re-en-roll or continue participation in the program. On its website, www.pickocc.org, the Offi ce of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel (OCC) provides information about other federal, state and utility-funded assistance programs available to assist consumers with their energy bills. The Winter Reconnection Order can be viewed on the PUCO’s website, www.PUCO.ohio.gov, in its docketing system under Case No. 13-1889-GE-UNC.

Liability questions emerging from a log jam caused by new personal watercraft docks placed in the Portage River dominat-ed a portion of Monday night’s meeting of Oak Harbor Village Council. Councilwoman Donna Wendt asked Village Solicitor Jim Barney if he had re-searched potential liabilities should the log jam cause personal harm or property dam-age in weeks to come. Boaters know the risks of traveling these waterways, he said. She noted, however, she was specifi -cally concerned about potential damage to things such as wastewater and regional wa-ter system equipment in the river. Based on the research he had done, Barney said he believed the village does not face a liability issue. “I cannot fi nd any-thing that the village would be responsible. But I am not saying it’s not possible.” The log jam in the river near the end of Church Street developed after torrential rainfall doused the Oak Harbor area in ear-ly October. “The river rose 5 feet and the current went from 22 cubic feet per second to 6,800 cubic feet,” Mayor Bill Eberle reported in an interview the next day. As a result, logs and debris collected around the docks the village placed in the river this spring as part of an economic development push in the downtown area. The watercraft season runs from spring to about mid-October. The docks were recently removed for maintenance prior to being put away in

Oak HarborLog jam liability discussed by council

winter storage. The log jam, though, re-mains encrusted in sediment and other de-bris. Hence, Wendt’s concern. Eberle said be believes the log jam will naturally break free and dissipate without problems. Councilman Jon Fickert asked Barney who he consulted before making his state-ments. Barney said he researched case law in his offi ce. Fickert said he should consider con-tacting representatives from the Ohio Department of Transportation (which owns the nearby bridge), the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Division of Watercraft, all of which maintain good re-lationships with the village. Barney said he didn’t think that was necessary. It had been his experience, the attorney said, that staff in those types of of-fi ces were not willing to discuss or identify such liability potentials on a hypothetical basis. Wendt said she was simply trying to play devil’s advocate regarding the log jam. Fickert grew slightly irritated that Barney didn’t seem to want to expand his research. “OK, let’s just not do anything,” Fickert said. “And if something happens, we’ll put out the fi re then.” Wendt said in her 24 years in offi ce, she had found village solicitor advice regarding liability issues to stand up well. “If he says, we’re OK, then we’re OK. I’m satisfi ed,” she said.

Northwood’s time?To the editor: I am submitting this letter to offer my support for the bond levy for Northwood Local Schools. I am the par-ent of a kindergartener who also attended preschool at Olney Elementary School in Northwood. It is a small sample size, sure, but neither my wife nor I have anything but praise for the experiences our son has had so far. Every day he comes home excited about learning and raving about his teach-ers. My mother, Rebecca Heimlich, is the retired former superintendent of Lakota Lo-cal Schools in Kansas, O. For those that are not familiar with Lakota, they recently built a brand new state of the art K-12 facil-ity in Sandusky County. Having a unique perspective on what it took to fund and build the building in La-kota, I saw fi rst-hand the effects that a new building can have on an entire community. Prior to building the new school, Lakota was losing 183 students who were open en-rolling to other surrounding systems from within Lakota’s territory boundaries. This year, that number is drastically reduced to just 32 students. Also, other communities surrounding Lakota have seen an uptick in students open enrolling to Lakota Local Schools, largely because of the new facility. In Northwood, we are not currently facing the type of issue Lakota was prior to construction, but if we choose not to fund this building initiative, I believe we will in the future. On the other hand, if we move forward with the project, we could great-ly benefi t from open enrollment into our schools for many years to come. Children who choose to become Northwood stu-dents bring large amounts of funding from the state level on a yearly basis. The goodwill and positive daily im-pact is still being felt in Lakota. There are multiple stories I could relay about people who have made comments over the past three years since the building was opened. Teachers in the system have said they feel much more competent and fl at out better at educating children as a result of the op-portunities available to them because of the new technology. Other community members have said they were completely opposed to the proj-ect because of the impact it had on their disposable incomes, but now, seeing the fi nished product, they would gladly have paid double. The costs associated have been empha-sized through many conversations lead-ing up to this all-important vote. Several people I have talked to were contemplating moving their children to other school sys-tems in surrounding areas. How many people are there in North-wood thinking the same thing? How many kids who should be future graduates of Northwood Local Schools might not be? How much money could we leave on the table from the state government? And how many stories of great things made possible by a new facility in Northwood are in dan-ger of never being told? In Northwood, we have an opportunity to do something special for our children and our community in November. Joel SmithNorthwood

More study warrantedTo the editor: I am writing to voice my op-position to the proposed levy for the con-struction of a new facility for the North-wood Local School District.

The administration is asking the vot-ers to approve a new 4.9-mill property tax levy and additional 0.25 percent earned in-come tax over 37 years. These new taxes are for the construction of a new $33 mil-lion school to house grades Pre-K through 12 because they’re able to obtain 35 per-cent funding from the state. This leaves the taxpaying citizens of Northwood on the hook for $21.5 million to be fi nanced over 37 years. Part of the argument for this tax is that the income tax does not affect retir-ees on pensions and Social Security. Even though that may be true, they will still feel the pinch of the 4.9-mill levy. While there may be a need for better fa-cilities, I believe not all options have been considered and those that were explored were not studied in suffi cient detail. I have read through the literature on the commit-tee’s website and did not fi nd very great de-tail as to the renovation options that were considered. It was stated at their Oct. 16th meeting that the renovation cost was about 70 percent of that for a new building. Ac-cording to my math, $15 million is consid-erably less than $21.5 million. I for one would like to see more options considered before asking the taxpayers to foot the bill for such a large expense. For those with no children or grand-children in the Northwood school system, I’ve heard the argument that this will reju-venate the local economy; I ask, “How?” Perhaps local restaurants, convenience stores, and gas stations will see some ad-ditional revenue during construction, but once completed, the taxpayers will con-tinue paying for this for nearly 4 decades to come with no additional revenue from the new facility. If I’m incorrect here, I would like to see some hard numbers to show us how the taxpayers will benefi t. Although it might not be a popular op-tion, when asked about merging with other school districts at the October meeting, the superintendent stated that it was not even considered. With enrollment in North-wood declining and projected to continue to do so, wouldn’t it be prudent to at least explore all options? With a still struggling economy and many citizens feeling the fi nancial burdens of shrinking purchasing power and ever-increasing taxes, until all options are thor-oughly explored and real consideration is given to the burden these increases place on the taxpaying residents of Northwood, I cannot support this levy.Matthew TewersNorthwood

New isn’t always betterTo the editor: It’s a little disturbing that a comparison is being drawn between Lake and Northwood schools. After all, North-wood’s buildings are simply showing their age, whereas Lake’s buildings were obliter-ated by a devastating tornado. This makes the notion that it’s North-wood’s “turn” seem a bit obscure. It’s our turn for what? Our turn to over-invest in real estate? Our turn to spend money ser-vicing a “partnership” with the state? I’ll pass. Here’s one example of real estate mal-investment: In 2002, when the new Mud Hens stadium opened in downtown To-ledo, many investors opened lofts and res-taurants up and down the nearby streets. The thought was that having a brand new

stadium will attract commerce to the city, and that the expansion is warranted by this perception of higher economic output. A decade later and downtown Toledo is even more of a ghost town now than it was then. The problem is in the mistaken belief that simply having new buildings – school or recreational – will cause people to fl ock to the area. Another concern is Northwood’s “part-nership” with the state. The partnership forces the district to conform to the state’s rules, which means that too much of the $33 million will go to serving regulatory agents and there will be less for the actual building and community to benefi t from. The building and road construction projects, like the ones that are a part of the faux economic recovery, do little to truly fi x the economy because they generally don’t lead to an increase in output. The same is true for paying regulatory agents who prob-ably can’t point to Northwood Ohio on a map. Students from other countries, many of whom come from poor backgrounds, come to the U.S. to take high school classes, only to fi nd out that the material for a 12th grade honors course in the US contains material that they learned in the grade school of their home country. If they can do well without brand new buildings, then why can’t we? Michael Pierce Northwood

New school neededTo the editor: The Ohio School Boards As-sociation encourages residents to vote for Northwood Local School District’s ballot issue on Nov. 5. The ballot issue — a 4.9-mill property tax combined with a 0.25 percent earned income tax — will allow the district to con-struct a safe, new facility to provide 21st century learning spaces for all students. The building project was developed with input from community forums and a committee of 61 Northwood residents to meet the district’s needs. It includes demol-ishing all or part of existing school build-ings and constructing a 130,000-square-foot facility. The building will include state-of-the-art science and computer labs, as well as the technology students need to be ca-reer and college ready. Northwood’s school buildings are more than 50 years old and are at the point where patching and repairing them is no longer cost effective. Consolidating opera-tions into a new, centralized building will allow the district to streamline operations in a facility that is much more effi cient and economical. The project will allow the district, which has not asked for new taxpayer dol-lars since 2008, to continue to make strides to control costs and demonstrate fi scal re-sponsibility. After years of waiting, North-wood is now eligible for more than $11 mil-lion in state funding for the construction project. The district is asking residents to contribute and help make this new facility a reality. Communities are only as strong as their schools; this new school building will serve students for many years to come. By voting for this ballot issue, you are helping Northwood maintain excellence and ensur-ing a bright future for children in your com-munity. It is a wise and much-needed in-

vestment in your schools and community.Rob DelaneDeputy Executive DirectorOhio School Boards Association

Education has changedTo the editor: I am writing in support of the upcoming levy for the Northwood Lo-cal School District. As the granddaughter of a 1944 Northwood graduate, the daughter of a 1969 Northwood graduate and a 1994 Northwood graduate myself, I will proudly vote yes on Nov. 5. Believe me when I say that I understand the connection and sentimental value that our school buildings hold for many com-munity members, but we need to consider the educational demands of the 21st cen-tury and how our buildings are handling those demands. As a high school guidance counselor, I see that education today is delivered in an entirely new manner, with new tools, new techniques and new technology methods that no longer fi t the conventions of our school buildings. In this rapidly changing educational environment, we as North-wood voters have the power to support our children and make them the future leaders of this great community. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to initiate that support by creating an environment where our students and teachers are able to take advantage of the latest and greatest equipment available? Wouldn’t it be won-derful to provide the children of North-wood with the opportunity to experience all of the benefi ts associated with a brand new, state of the art facility? As a product of Northwood schools, a resident of this beautiful community and a parent of two amazing Northwood students I would say that the answers to those ques-tions are yes.Angie Brandburg-ClossonNorthwood

It’s fun to buy things for yourself or others. You know the satisfi ed feeling you get when fi nally acquiring that special item you have been longing for. Spending mon-ey on what you want is nice to be able to do. However, more important than spend-ing money is paying yourself fi rst. You take priority over any bills or other expenses. Paying yourself fi rst is money you put away for later, not a fund to be used for more or larger purchases. Paying yourself fi rst has many benefi ts. A growing bank account provides you with freedom. You will be in much better shape to weather economic downturns. You’ll have greater ability to deal with unexpected emergency expenses. Your self-confi dence will grow with the self-discipline you de-velop. Imagine how nice it would be to have enough put away to cover your living ex-

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

Paying yourself fi rst has advantages later in life

penses for one year. Your money related stress level will drop. You wouldn’t feel held hostage by a job you don’t like. Consider paying yourself fi rst as build-ing up your freedom fund. Although it takes fi nancial discipline to make it grow, it’s well worth the effort. How much would you have today if you started paying your-self 10% of your take home pay 5 years ago? Even had you saved only 5%, how much would you now have in your account? Unless you change your habits, fi ve years from now you will be in the exact

same fi nancial position, or perhaps even worse. A change in strategy is required in order to attain different results. You might argue you don’t have enough extra money to pay yourself fi rst. Your in-come is too low or your expenses too high. Regardless of your current fi nancial situa-tion, you can pay yourself something. Paying yourself fi rst is an issue of at-titude, not fi nances. Are you familiar with the lottery syndrome? Some studies show as many as 90% of multimillion dollar lot-tery jackpots winners have lost their en-tire fortune within fi ve years. Many are in worse fi nancial condition than before their win. Yet there are many examples of indi-viduals starting from nothing and building a fortune. How you think about what you have is more signifi cant than how much you have. Additionally, you can fi nd nu-merous instances where someone has built

a fortune, lost it, and then accumulated it again. In order to pay yourself fi rst, you must consider it a need. It should take prece-dence over all else. The exact amount isn’t important. It’s the fact that you always pay yourself fi rst, no matter what, that’s impor-tant. Another strategy to assist paying your-self fi rst is living below your means. This involves spending less than you can afford for both your needs and wants. By so do-ing, you can pay more to yourself than if you were spending the money elsewhere. Paying yourself fi rst is a proven strat-egy for building fi nancial security. Finan-cial security reduces stress and enhances your options. All successful people pay themselves fi rst. It’s a great habit that is not hard to develop. The exact amount doesn’t matter. Starting today, make sure to pay yourself fi rst.

vice levy that will, if passed, cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $157.50 a year. The levy’s purpose is to staff the fi re station with one paramedic and one EMT during the day and one paramedic at night along with the use of volunteers. In es-sence, this levy will provide a 24/7 full-time paramedic to our community, which we currently don’t have. We often have to use mutual aid for this purpose. As there is one person at the station during the day when a call comes in now, the squad can’t respond until a second per-son arrives. If that second person doesn’t arrive then mutual aid is called in to cover the call. To date this has already happened eight times in 2013, resulting in delayed response times. In addition to the hiring of the full-time paramedic, this levy will also provide for the purchase and upgrade of equip-ment. Nobody likes additional taxes but I feel this is a levy we really can’t afford to turn down. If a person is experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, symptoms indic-ative of stroke etc., seconds become hours. Response time is critical. Please support the Harris-Elmore levy on Nov. 5.Cheryl HarrisElmore

Bond = better schoolsTo the editor: I am writing in support of the Rossford Exempted Village (EV) School District’s bond issue on the Nov. 5 ballot because the district desperately needs new school facilities. The 4.6-mill bond issue will raise $32.2 million for the construction of two elementary buildings to replace existing schools and will cost the owner of $100,000 home approximately $161 a year. Two years ago, a volunteer commu-nity Master Plan Steering Committee was formed and there were many opportunities to involve residents in public forums and surveys. The plan included two phases. Phase 1 includes the construction of two new elementary schools to accom-modate the PK-5 student population. The existing aged facilities need improvement to help reinforce student success. Sub-stan-dard items include:

• Offi ces that are remote from the main entry

• Inaccessible areas for the physically challenged

• Antiquated mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems

• Undersized learning spaces that are not fl exible

The proposed new schools will:• Enhance safe and secure environ-

ments for students, staff and visitors with clearly defi ned “welcome centers”

• Provide total accessibility for all that are physically challenged

• Include energy effi cient mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems

• Provide fl exible learning spaces to reinforce outstanding program offerings

Problem not addressed To the editor: I want all parents of Lake School District to be aware that, in my opin-ion, the elementary has a major problem with head lice. When the principal tells my granddaughter that she would have to send a letter out every week because of the prob-lem, it’s time for the administration to get it under control. Of course, if we had a school nurse, maybe this problem would have been ad-dressed by now. I also know the health department was called and was informed they could not come into the district unless they were requested by the administration. Since the administration and the principal do not want to address this problem, who is taking care of it? I also want parents to know it’s not one class but at least three classes. Please check your children and do not send them to school if they have lice, because it will only spread. To the admin-istration: it’s time you do a head check in each classroom send those children home and let their parents know they cannot re-turn until the lice is gone. Then fumigate those classrooms. This school district had the same prob-lem last year.Iris CremeanWalbridge

Support senior centerTo the editor: As a past board member of the James Hancock Oregon Senior Center, I feel compelled to assist in getting correct

information regarding the levy to the vot-ers. The levy is for services for seniors, not for a new building. Over the years, many ideas have been discussed; plans have even been drawn for a new building. One of the biggest problems with a new building would be operational costs. If you double the size of the facility, offer more services, programs, nutrition op-tions, and activities you must also increase operating expenses. Current funding is dependant upon lo-cal, state, federal grant funding and fund-raisers. The City of Oregon is very generous in providing the current building, utilities and many other necessities. The proposed levy would provide a continuous, depend-able funding source for services and pro-grams for the next fi ve years. Show your support for our parents and grandparents on Nov. 5.Larry SchafferOregon

Latta’s voteTo the editor: Congressman Bob Latta says he is proud of his vote to shut down our government and decided to vote against re-opening it. Latta is delusional when it comes to the Affordable Care Act, known to us all, as the Republicans call it, as ObamaCare. Was this not approved by Congress in 2010 and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court? Latta and the clowns in congress put our country in a hostage situation, think-ing it would make our president look bad. They are not addressing problems and vot-ers don’t much care for the policies the GOP espouses. Get over it, Congressman Latta and start earning your wages and start working for us. Also, did members of congress receive their pay and health care during the time they held the county hostage? Latta is so afraid the Tea Party won’t like him he has neglected our country. It will be our turn come November 2014.Joann SchiavoneWalbridge

Debt pain will grow To the editor: Dear Sen. Rob Portman: Thank you for voting Oct. 16, for the

continuing resolution and the increase in the debt limit. What you did was very brave. You gave in to the Democrats. You increased our children’s debt. You got to keep your waiver from ObamaCare. You gave $2 bil-lion to Kentucky for a new dam. What did you get for Ohio? More pain. Did you even read the bill? You didn’t even get a budget to work with. All you got was a promise to talk and we all know what political promises are worth.Rufus WallaceMillbury

Levies pay the billsTo the editor: A renewal of the Benton-Car-roll-Salem school levy is an easy way to keep money available for emergencies. Years ago, the board I served on imple-mented the 1.2-mill levy to make sure we had funds to replace a roof, doors, lights, parking lots and much more. It has always been a big help. The 3.9-mill levy helps with books and paying bills, etc. These two levies have maintained the school system through the year and are still needed.Jane FreimarkOak Harbor

Eastwood’s artists created the winning chalk mural at this year’s Fifth Third Chalk Walk Competition at the Black Swamp Art Festival in Bowling Green. Several Eastwood High School art stu-dents collaborated to create the winning design. Cody Hendricks helped with the winning design, but was unable to com-pete in the competition. The other students involved were Dylan Herrig, Sarah Selzer, Jenné Venier, and Cassie VanDenk. The students worked tirelessly for fi ve hours to create the mural and were able to beat 11 other teams in this competition. Each team was asked to submit a statement explaining the art mural and how it repre-sented the community. Eastwood’s state-ment was submitted by senior Selzer. Selzer’s statement describing the East-wood community was, “To represent the Eastwood community our chalk mural is centered with a mighty tree with deep roots. This represents the strength of our commu-nity and the many community members who have their roots extend back decades. “Flowing through the roots is the Portage River which is a beloved geographical land-mark of our community. Surrounding the tree is a town scene representing the many small towns included in the Eastwood area such as Luckey, Pemberville, and Scotch Ridge. “The scene is soaring on the outspread wings of an eagle — the school’s mascot. The ribbon emblazoned with “Eastwood Community Pride” demonstrates how al-though we are all different, the school sys-tem ties us together and unites us as one. “Finally, in the background is a decora-tive quilt which references the annual quilt show that takes place within our communi-ty and, again, symbolizes how every unique individual helps to make one united and outstanding community,” Selzer wrote. The students won the grand prize of $500 for the Eastwood Art Club. Art teacher and club adviser Lauren Smith, said, “I am so proud of all of the students involved in the planning and ex-ecution of this project. Our Eastwood stu-dents proudly represented the Eastwood community. They came prepared for the competition and worked together wonder-fully as a team, seamlessly problem-solved, and managed their time perfectly in order to complete their beautiful work of art in the allotted 5 hours.” Before the end of the competition, rain poured down on the mural just as the judg-es arrived around 3:45 p.m. Selzer added, “I really enjoyed working outside as a team to create something fan-tastic that represented our community and school district. I am so glad we won, and I am really happy for the art department. We also enjoyed decorating each other with our

Art students draw on community to win chalk walk

chalk covered hands.” Smith concluded, “It was a great feel-ing to hear Eastwood announced for the grand prize and to hold our well-deserved

oversize check as a team.” (Reprinted with permission from The Eagle’s Eye, an Eastwood student publica-tion)

Students’ prayers, compassion help teacher through tragedySpecial to The [email protected]

When many teachers decide to pursue a career in education, many say they have a desire to help mold students into success-ful individuals. At Cardinal Stritch Catho-lic High School, Spanish teacher Lauren Jones is no exception. Jones has suc-ceeded in that aspiration and has become a favorite among the student body in the process. In a heavily decorated room, Jones creates inventive lesson plans that not only submerge students into the subject, but also allows them to have fun in the process. “Spanish is the only language we offer and not everyone wants to take Spanish,” said Jones, “I don’t want students to be mis-erable, so I try to make it fun.” In addition to class work, Jones has been very active on the spiritual side of Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School. She allows prayer to play a heavy role in her re-lationship with students and, in fi ve of the six years she has been at Stritch, she has gone with the senior class to Kairos. Kairos, which means “Lord’s time,” is a Christian experience of prayer and refl ection, run by a team of adults and students. With the heavy spiritual commitment Kairos requires, Jones considers her volun-teer work at Kairos to be some of the most powerful spiritual moments in her life. “It has just meant so much to me to share that with the students because it’s just an awesome experience,” said Jones. “I love to see them go in thinking that they know what is going to happen but even when they think they know, how it impacts

them is so different. And seeing how it im-pacts one student versus another is just so awesome. It’s one of the most emotionally

draining experiences, but it is so worth it.” But as infl uential as Jones has been to the students, she recently learned how

much her students and fellow staff mem-bers are willing to help her during times of need. Jones and many others at Stritch Cath-olic were eagerly awaiting the arrival of her fi rst child, a daughter, last November. But when Jones went into labor, something un-known happened and her child was born without a pulse. Shortly after the delivery, Jones called Angie Campbell, an English teacher at Stritch Catholic, and shared the devastating news. An assembly was held before the end of the school day to pray for Jones and her baby. This is when Jones re-ceived a spiritual lifeline from the family at Stritch Catholic. “Ms. Campbell recorded the assembly on her iPad, and just to see how Fr. Eric pre-sented it to the students and how respect-ful the students were, I could tell that they cared about the situation not just because they knew me, but because how much my baby meant to them,” she said. “Fr. Eric told me it was like their (the students’) own brother or sister to them because I had let them into that part of my life.” But with the loss of her daughter, Jones saw just how big of an impact a tragedy in her life has on others. “It wasn’t until (my daughter) passed away that I realized just how much she impacted them,” said Jones. “I appreciate knowing and being able to talk about it. Students still ask me about, and feel very strongly about the situation. What they have taken from it is unbelievable.”(Story courtesy of St. Kateri Catholic Schools.

Education

Woodmore improves safety with trainingBy Molly PostWindow To Woodmore

During the 2013-14 school year, Wood-more staff and students will be given the tools to protect themselves and save their own lives during a violent situation through ALICE training.

ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. The main goal of the system is to help students and teachers feel empowered and prepared to do whatever is necessary to stay alive when a threat is present. It stresses that traditional lockdown is inappropriate dur-ing imminent or life-threatening danger. Instead, those involved are encouraged to run, throw books, barricade the doors and, in an extreme situation, swarm the attacker and disarm him or her.

The company that developed the sys-tem insisted that a “good school” was re-sponsible for not only education, inspira-tion and social engagement, but also safety for its students.

Principal Jim Kieper doesn’t want stu-dents to start throwing books just yet. He stressed it has been a long and carefully planned process for him, and it will be the same for Woodmore students.

“I was exploring this while at Whit-mer,” he said. “Most Ottawa County schools already use it.”

He wants to make sure that students are fully informed.

“It will take a lot of preparation and trust,” Kieper said. Students will eventu-ally have to go through training and sim-ulations, and he wants to make sure they feel comfortable before subjecting them to stressful situations.

Before school started, Kieper and the staff went through a simulation with the Elmore and Woodville police during which blank shots were fi red to replicate the stress and fear involved. Kieper was surprised by how well the system worked.

First, the building went into a normal lockdown while a “shooter” (armed with an airsoft gun) roamed the building and shot at the easy targets.

“I actually got ‘shot’ three times,” he said.

After that, they were encouraged to counter, barricade, and evacuate if possible. How did this system fare for Kieper?

“I wasn’t shot at all that time,” he said, smiling.

Community and student support will be a big factor. Clearly, this could be a contro-versial subject, but Kieper wants people to know that the system is based on defense, not offense. A common misconception, no student or teacher is encouraged to go after the attacker or to “be a hero.” The main goal is to increase survivability and decrease fear.

Some students, including senior Ali Smathers, are welcoming this new ap-proach.

“Lockdown is pretty much someone choosing your fate for you,” Smathers said. “I like that I have the choice now.”

Unfortunately, support may take time and education on the subject. Kieper said that even some teachers were against the system until they experienced the training.

The future for ALICE is bright, but un-til information is given to the community and support is gathered, it is still in the works for Woodmore. (Reprinted with permissin from Win-dow To Woodmore, a student publication.)

For the last six-and-a-half years, the Genoa Comets have been the standard-bearer for Suburban Lakes League and Northern Buckeye Conference football teams. Six playoff appearances, five league titles and a trip to the state final four in 2008 have helped head coach Tim Spiess and former coach Mike Vicars build one of Ohio’s best programs. This year, Genoa picked up right where it left off, dominating opponents and start-ing out 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the NBC. The Comets were seriously challenged once this year, taking Lake’s best shot in a 49-35 victory over the Flyers that saw Genoa fall behind, 21-7, before rallying to take the lead just before halftime. Woodmore, their opponent this Friday, has an offense that is similar to Lake’s in that it features athletic skilled players who know how to score points, but Genoa’s offense is potent, too. The Comets employ the wing-t and feature versatile players like Logan Scott, David Nutter, Jake Wojciechowski, Ryan Espinoza, Quentin Spiess and Casey Gose. In doing so, the Comets have averaged 60.6 points per game. But it’s the defense that will deter-mine whether Genoa can shut down the Wildcat’s offense and win the NBC title outright. The Comets will have to follow that up with a playoff run. For the Comets to go deep into the postseason, Spiess says they’ll have to remain focused and con-tinue to work hard. “We’ve had an outstanding week of practice so far,” Spiess said. “We’ve spent a lot of time watching old film from the bigger games in years past to stay focused. Those teams showed that you can’t just turn it on every week. When you have as many seniors as we do, they do a good job of working hard.” Woodmore appears to have turned the corner. At 5-3 and 2-3 in the NBC, Woodmore has steadily improved during Coach Britton Devier’s tenure. “Woodmore has got a high-powered offense,” Spiess said. “And their kids have experience. Outside of Genoa, they’re prob-ably the most experienced team in the league.” The Wildcat offense he’s referring to is led by senior quarterback Jake Matwiejczyk, who converted 14 of 16 pass attempts for 234 yards and five touchdowns in Woodmore’s 69-0 defeat of NBC foe Fostoria. Wide receiver Evan Ulinski was also instru-mental in leading the Wildcats to victory, catching 11 passes for 157 yards and four touchdowns (5, 9, 64, 1 yard) and returned two punts (44, 50) for scores. Running back Tony Rozzi, a steady contributor all season, carried the ball 17 times for 124 yards and two touchdowns. “We play an up-tempo no huddle spread offense,” Devier said. “Getting first downs is critical to our success (and) we want to move the ball as fast as we can to score.” After starting 3-0, the Wildcats lost three out of four to fall to 4-3, but righted the ship with their fourth win. Defeating a program like Genoa and finishing 7-3 would give Woodmore an outside shot at making the playoffs. “The goal of any program in any sport is to compete with the best,” Devier said.

Woodmore looks to ruin Genoa’s undefeated season

“Right now, Genoa is the best team in our conference and has a top tier football program. I have always said that in recent years, Genoa has forced teams in the NBC to get better or get beat up on. When you are building a program you work for signa-ture wins. Genoa would certainly be that for us.” Spiess says the Genoa game could also be the last for a special senior class that helped to rebuild the Woodmore football program. The seniors, who were freshman when Devier took over in ’10, features the likes of Matwiejczyk, Ulinski, Rozzi, Malachi Brown and Dan Sprinski. “This senior class is a great group of young men,” Devier said. “As sophomores we were 2-16 as a program. “We were 2-8 on varsity and 0-8 on JV and now have the opportunity to have the first winning sea-son since 2003. They have worked hard to move the program to be competitive each week. This team is very close and that is a tribute to the leadership of the senior class. It has been a pleasure to coach them over the past four years.”

Matwiejczyk said, “I love everything about this team. They’re my family and I’ve grown up with every one of these guys. I have weapons everywhere on the fi eld. I have an outstanding line. I have receivers like Evan, Malachi, Dan (Sprinski), and Brad (Bringman), who run their routes hard

and fast, and who I can count on to be open on every play. I also have a great running back (Tony Rozzi), who runs hard and hits his holes as hard as possible. I just love this offense. It’s a pick-your-poison type of of-fense, and it’s a dangerous offense for any defense to try to prepare for.”

Ulinski echoes, “I like that we don’t just rely on any one player and that we can score on any play, with any guy. Our of-fensive line has given us a running game that we haven’t really had in years past. And our running back (Rozzi) has rushed for over 100 yards multiple times this year. It really opens up our scoring. This team plays fast and we score often.”

“We are a more confi dent and resilient team, and we just believe we are a good

team. I am very proud to be a part of turn-ing the program around, and I’m excited that every year we’re getting better. I have high expectations for the future of this pro-gram.”

Matwiejczyk adds, “The tradition that’s being built. It’s exciting to know that I helped start it and I can’t wait to come back next year and see Woodmore football being successful in everything they do.

“I’ve watched Woodmore football ever since I was a kid and it was always my dream to be under those Friday night lights. But to be a key part of the Wildcat resurgence? That’s like a dream come true. We’re here to prove that we’re the new Woodmore football team.”

Jim Phillips takes over as Clay’s new baseball coachBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

Former Clay and Youngstown State University baseball player Jim Phillips is taking over as head var-sity baseball coach at his high school alma mater. Phillips, who played for former coach Karl Knierim at Clay, led his team to at least a share of the Great Lakes League champi-onship during all three years of var-sity play. He was all-state as a senior in 2001 and named Clay’s James F. O’Brien Award winner as Male Athlete of the Year that same year. In 2011, he was elected to Clay’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Attending Youngstown State on a base-ball scholarship, Phillips was the YSU/Youngstown Vindicator Male Athlete of the Year and a member of YSU’s Horizon League championship team in 2004. That 2004 team went on to play in the NCAA Division I regional tournament in Austin, Texas. Phillips was Horizon League second team all-conference in 2005, was on the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team in 2002, and was YSU team captain in 2005. He was a four-year starter for YSU. Before taking the head coaching posi-tion, Phillips was a varsity assistant base-ball coach under Greg “Hawk” Christian at St. John’s Jesuit in 2013, dealing pre-dominantly with the hitters and outfield-ers. He also coached the varsity running backs and was freshman offensive coordi-nator for the Clay football program under former coach Mike Donnelly in 2012. He was an assistant junior varsity baseball coach at Clay in 2011 and 2012, and in

2011 the JV team won the Toledo City League championship. He also coached in the Oregon City Recreation youth fifth and sixth grade foot-ball program for two years. Bike Trail opens The City of Toledo Division of Parks, Recreation and Forestry opened the Otta-wa-Jermain Park off-road bike trail in 2011. Since that time the trail has expanded and the division has added a jump park to com-plement the off-road features. The new park offerings have become a regional at-traction for off-road bike enthusiasts.

Northwood’s O-line takes Rangers to another levelBy Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]

Adrian Peterson led the NFL in rush-ing last season, Archie Griffi n won two Heisman Trophies with Ohio State back in the mid-1970s, and Northwood junior run-ning back Dominik Bermejo is bound to get some postseason honors in a few weeks.

What do all three running backs have in common? They had very good offensive lines in front of them.

Bermejo has rushed for 1,169 yards and 14 touchdowns on 126 carries in eight games, including a 30-carry, 213-yard effort in last week’s 38-20 win over Toledo Area Athletic Conference rival Toledo Christian.

Certainly, Bermejo knows where his bread is buttered: Up front.

“Usually when we’re in the locker room at halftime he’ll come up to everybody and say, ‘You guys are doing real well moving the ball,’ ” senior right guard Travis Whit-more said. “He’ll come up to us individu-ally after the game and congratulate us.”

Whitmore was the lone returning start-er on the offensive line this season, and it took some time for that unit to jell. North-wood’s offense relies heavily on rushing the football. The Rangers (6-2, 5-0 TAAC) threw just three passes in the win over TC, while rushing 57 times for 287 yards.

“We ran the same play over and over, our off-tackle play,” coach Ken James said. “They were doing some blitzing, and with the front they were running it allowed us to get in a certain play and formation. We’re not geniuses, but we’re going to keep run-ning it. We had a size advantage and that helped impact the game in the fourth quar-ter.”

Northwood, which graduated the bulk of its starting offense and defense last sea-son, opened with losses to Ayersville and Lake before reeling off six straight wins. The slow start was eye-opening for a pro-gram that is used to winning TAAC titles and making playoff appearances, but it wasn’t entirely unexpected because of its youth.

“We have improved signifi cantly,” James said. “We still haven’t put a complete game together, but we’re getting closer.”

The Rangers average 330 yards rushing per game and had 560 in a 49-26 win over Woodward in Week 3. Whitmore said the offensive line fi nally started to click in the win over the Polar Bears.

“We’re a young team and we were just getting used to each other and getting in a rhythm,” Whitmore said. “I think we’re in

a rhythm right now. We’re communicat-ing and getting in the spots we need to go. Against Woodward we were driving off the ball and doing real well together. We jelled real well together and we were able to move the ball. It felt good.”

James no doubt breathed a sigh of relief once the line started dominating.

“The onus is on them to control the line of scrimmage and get us fi rst downs,” he said, “because we’re playing some young guys on defense. The O-line has been a huge part of why we’ve rattled off six wins in a row.”

Joining Whitmore (6-1, 225) on the line are senior left tackle Kyle Corbitt (6-2, 215), senior right tackle Luke Laviolette (6-4, 313), junior left guard Myles Habel (6-2, 261) and junior center Travis Singlar (6-1, 225).

James said Whitmore, a three-year starter at right guard, was already a known quantity coming into this season.

“He was the only guy who had a huge number of starts, and he’s done a great job

keeping everybody together,” James said. “We had certain expectations and that’s exactly what we’ve gotten. He’s played defensive end for most of the year as well and he’s been a consistent performer every week.”

Laviolette was a part-time starter last season, and Corbitt is a two-year starter at defensive end.

“Corbitt is a really good athlete and has been our leading pass rusher the last cou-ple years,” James said. “He has really good speed and uses his hands really well. We asked him to play two ways and he’s done a phenomenal job for us. Luke’s big advan-tage is his size. He’s quick enough to pull, so we have him pull and trap. He moves pretty well for a big man. He does a good job knocking people off the ball.”

Habel also started in the past and is one of the team’s strongest players, accord-ing to James.

“He can move and he runs real well,” James said. “He’s got good foot speed. He also plays linebacker and we just moved

him down to the D-line. We use him to pull a lot and he’s a real good pass blocker. He’s been one of our most consistent linemen.”

Singlar, a fi rst year-starter, was moved from guard/tackle to center this season and played defensive end on the junior varsity team last year.

“We wanted somebody in there with some size and strength,” James said. “He had some growing pains early in the year, but he’s developed into a good center for us. He’s been physical and he comes off the ball, and that’s been a huge help.”

James said there is a 75 percent chance the Rangers will make the Division VI play-offs if they end the regular season with wins over Ottawa Hills (3-5) and Cardinal Stritch (0-8).

“It would feel real great,” Whitmore said. “This is my last season and couple of the other linemen’s last season, being se-niors. Knowing we got off to a poor start and we were able to recoup, I’d like to see us make the playoffs. I’m sure the rest of the team would, too.”

Dylan Hirzel is probably the least rec-ognizable starter on the University of Find-lay football team. Most long snappers are.

Hirzel has an interesting story about the road that brought him to play for the Division II Oilers.

“My dad (Eric) told me a story,” said Hirzel, a redshirt freshman from Lake. “He said when he was in college, his room-mate told him to teach his kids how to long snap. He said it was the easiest road to see the (football) fi eld. If you ask anyone, they know long-snapping or kicking are the two easiest ways to see the fi eld in college foot-ball, and beyond.”

Hirzel’s older brother, who is also named Eric, went on to be the long snap-per at Defi ance College before graduating in 2006.

“My dad taught me when I was in mid-dle school,” Dylan said. “My brother is a good teacher as well.”

Hirzel, a 2012 Lake grad, is also a 6-foot-3, 215-pound backup tight end behind senior Jaryd Brown. He came to Findlay af-ter a solid three-sport athletic career with

the Flyers, twice earning All-Northern Buckeye Conference honors in football as a tight end and outside linebacker.

He was also an all-conference center in basketball and he still holds four school records in track, in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles and the 4x100 and 4x200 relay.

Hirzel said Findlay’s coaches were the last coaches he talked to during the recruit-ing process.

“When I came and visited, I just loved the campus right away,” said Hirzel, who is majoring in sport and event management. “The coaches convinced me to get here on a visit. I went home, and a couple days later they called me and I signed.”

Oilers head coach Rob Keys decided to redshirt Hirzel after the team’s game against Ashland last season. Hirzel did, however, make the travel squad as a backup long snapper.

“It wasn’t disappointing,” said Hirzel, who turns 20 next month. “I knew there was a pretty good chance of redshirting. The tight end ahead of me (Brown) was a junior last year and he was on the road to getting the school’s all-time record for receptions. I knew that was going to be tough for me.”

Hirzel has played in three games at tight end this season and does not have any receptions, but his main role is as the team’s long snapper. Hirzel’s tight ends po-sition coach is John Morookian, who played tackle at the University of Toledo.

“He just got out of UT and he relates to us,” Hirzel said. “He knows what he’s talk-ing about. He was a tackle at UT and I think they brought him in just to work on block-ing, and so far he’s been doing an awesome job. I’m still undersized right now. I came here at 195 pounds and I’ve gained about 20 pounds, and they want me to add at least another 20 pounds, after spring ball.”

Morookian said Hirzel has been a solid contributor to the Oilers’ squad. Findlay is 4-3 and 2-3 in the Great Lakes Intercolle-giate Athletic Conference.

“He gives great effort, and that’s some-thing you can’t teach athletes,” Morookian said. “He cares and he goes hard, which is infectious. The guys are trying to get better, especially guys who are backups, and that’s a huge plus. He’s a good kid. He’s nice, po-lite and he can joke around and have fun.”

A long snapper is one of the most im-portant roles a football player can fi ll. It’s an art that is diffi cult to master, where every snap on extra points and fi eld goals must be at a precise speed, angle and height. The snap to the punter is supposed to hit him at waist level.

The only time a long snapper gets noticed, basically, is when he messes up. Hirzel said he’s been fl awless so far this

year; in fact, he can recall exactly the last time one of his snaps went horribly wrong.“I think I had one bad punt (snap), my sophomore year in high school,” he said. “We lost 9-7 to Eastwood and that punt snap resulted in a safety. That’s the only snap I’ve had that either didn’t get punted or kicked.”

Hirzel said he looks forward to getting more playing time at tight end next season.“During spring ball it’s going to be a com-petition again,” he said. “I’m expecting to get playing time and gain more weight next year and see how it goes.”

Morookian said Hirzel still has a ways to go, but he expects him to be a big con-tributor in 2014.

“He’s quick and he has good feet,” the coach said. “He catches the ball well. He needs to work on the blocking standpoint, but he has another year to get better. He’s defi nitely making huge strides and he has a bright future. If he becomes a better blocker, he’ll be right up there.”

The Lake High School equestrian team won its fourth consecutive state champion-ship.

Led by Coach Connie Workman, the eight-member team won the Division II Ohio Interscholastic Horsemanship Asso-ciation title with 257 points, dwarfi ng the scores from the next three schools, Antho-ny Wayne (143), McComb (137), and Fre-mont (131). The state championship meet was held at the Fulton County Fairgrounds just outside Wauseon.

In fact, Lake fi nished with more points than any of the teams in any of the three divisions.

On top of that, Oak Harbor won the D-I state title and Genoa fi nished atop the D-III standings to claim their respective cham-pionships. Oak Harbor won over district champions Erie and Napoleon, but Work-man says Erie gave the OH team “some stiff competition.” Genoa won by a 60-point plus margin over state runner-up Spring-fi eld.

Lake was led by three seniors, Ellen Johns, Alissa Knieriem and Rhianna Reau-me. Johns and Knieriem rode on all four championship teams during their time in the program. Johns, Knierim, and Reaume are Lake seniors while the rest of the unit consists of three Elmwood students, Han-nah Duty, Kylee Smith, and Taylor Barndt, Rossford student Lauren Nissen, and Johns’ younger sister, Hannah, a freshman at Lake.

Workman says what stands out about the group is their unselfi shness and will-ingness to work together for one common goal.

Lake equestrian team wins fourth consecutive state title

“They all scored points,” Workman said of her riders. “They all contribute equally (and) we don’t keep score because it’s a team thing. We are a pretty well-rounded team. Everyone has their little niche so we get points in all the different classes.”

According to Workman, it’s not just her team that shares a great camaraderie with one another, but the same goes for the com-petitors from all the teams.

“All of my girls show all summer long in either 4-H or open shows at county fairs, the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, breed shows and different circuits,” Workman said. “At the end of that season, they come together and (the competitors) are grouped by schools. It mixes everything up and it’s a real fun atmosphere. They all cheer for each other because they have friends on the oth-er teams. It’s a little more relaxed and not as stressful as it is during (other events). It’s

a good mix of kids that really know what they’re doing and other kids that are just learning, and it’s a nice atmosphere for all of them.”

There are a variety of different classes of competition, among them showmanship, which includes English and Western rid-ing styles. In some classes, the participants ride the horses bareback and there is also a jumping class, among others.

“It’s a wide variety,” Workman said, “which gives them an opportunity to do something new and compete and show what they’re good at.”

To get to the state meet in Wauseon, the Flyers had to advance from the district competition that was held at Wood County Fairgrounds. That includes the three regu-lar season shows that take place on Sun-days in September.

“We won all three of our district

shows,” Workman said. “Then we went to the state meet at Wauseon. “The coaches and team would like to thank all our parents, grandparents and helpers who are with us at every show and support us and our horses all year long,” Workman continued. Workman is hopeful that, in time, equestrianism will become more popular amongst people in the surrounding commu-nities, and that schools that have not wel-comed the activity as a club or varsity sport will do so someday. Some already have. “It is unfortunate that it’s not more of a recognized sport,” she said. “(The kids) work with their horses and take care of their horses all year long. It’s not just for a season. There is great camaraderie, great competition. We’re hoping to get Ohio to have the schools recognize the sport.” For more info, visit www.OIHA.org.

Lake equestrian team members are (from left to right) Lauren Nissen, Ellen Johns, Hannah Duty, Kylee Smith, Alissa Knieriem, Rhianna Reaume, Taylor Barndt, and Hannah Johns. Coaches (not pictured) are former Lake team member Jenna Workman and head coach Connie Workman.

nspirational essage of the eek: Wrestling with God

An Old Testament figure who struggles with God onlyargumentatively, his case against God is a pretty goodone. By God's own admission, Job is the most uprightman on earth, and yet, God allows Satan to takeeverything from Job, including his property, his family andeven his health, over a wager with Satan. And thus Jobcalls God to account for this. The very fact that the Book ofJob is in the Bible seemingly attests to the fact that Godadmires those who would question and challenge Him.The standard, "pious" interpretation of the Book of Job is

that Job never questions his faith in God, but patientlyendures the many afflictions sent his way. However,careful reading of this challenging book actually revealsthat the majority of the book is devoted to Job challengingGod's justice, and as it were, wrestling with God.Sometimes, our prayers can be a challenge to God - andGod is alright with that. He's certainly big enough tohandle any challenge. Therefore I will not restrain my

mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will

complain in the bitterness of my soul. - R.S.V. Job 7.11

PUMPKIN

Wanna play? My name is Pumpkin

and I am a super sweet boy

looking for someone to play with

me. I am only about a year old and

I came in as a stray to the Lucas

County Dog Warden's office. They

feed me and took care of me and

now I am just waiting for that

perfect home. 70+ of my canine

friends and I are currently

available for adoption at the Lucas

County Dog Warden - 410 S Erie

St - 419.213.2800. October is

Adopt-a-shelter dog month and it

couldn't be a better time to do so.

Check out the LCDW on

Facebook, Petfinder.com, and

Petharbor.com. If you are missing

a dog please come and walk

though the kennels. Share the love

and adopt a shelter dog today!
