When the National Museum of the Great Lakes opens next spring, it could be the catalyst needed for the Marina District’s 127 acre development.

The $12.8 million museum, currently under renovation at its Maumee River front location next to the Toledo Maritime Center and the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Mu-seum Ship, was brought to Toledo by the Great Lakes Historical Society.

“There are very few museums in the world that can actually legitimately claim to be an economic development asset of massive signifi cance,” said historical soci-ety executive director Christopher H. Gill-crist. “I think we’re one small piece of the puzzle that can help this area redevelop and that’s what we hope to do.” Paul LaMarre III, director of the Mon-roe (Mich.) port, added, “You can see it taking shape as a true destination. You see

the Jet Express parked outside (during an open house Tuesday) — this is the type of development that is needed to draw a ferry service like the Jet Express, or others, to the location. “It brings together multiple preserva-tion assets, or attractions that will create something greater that will be something sustainable. So many preservation histori-cal agencies struggle and struggle in today’s

fast-paced technological society to create partnerships and create a larger attraction, which is extremely valuable,” LaMarre continued.

A feasibility study commissioned by the historical society and Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority found that between 41,000 and 60,000 visitors will visit the museum annually. At a combined admis-sion and per visitor store purchase fi gure of $12.50 per person, 41,000 visitors would generate about $500,000 annually for its operations.

Total annual revenue, including mem-bership, endowment and charitable giving, and grants are estimated at $1.225 million with expenses estimated at $1.075. That includes labor costs of $475,000, adminis-trative costs of $100,000, plus advertising, programming, ship maintenance, occupan-cy, and cost of goods sold.

Offi cials from the James “Wes” Han-cock Senior Center in Oregon rejected the possibility of getting $250,000 from the Area Offi ce on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Inc., (AOoA) to expand operations. Instead, they opted to get the center’s own levy on the ballot on Tuesday. Oregon City Administrator Mike Bea-zley met with Billie Johnson, president and CEO of the AOoA earlier this year to discuss the possibility of getting funding from the agency for expanded operations at the center. Oregon was planning to spend $750,000 to expand the senior facility on Bayshore Road, but would not be provid-ing funds for enhanced services Johnson told Beazley she would ask the Lucas County Citizens Levy Review Committee, whose members are appoint-ed by the Lucas County Commissioners, to earmark $250,000 for operations at the senior center if voters renewed the Lucas County Senior Services levy next year. The committee reviews the AOoA’s proposed use of levy funding. “I have to take my whole budget to a levy review committee,” Johnson explained to The Press. “There’s a lot of hoops you have to jump through, but we were willing to do that because if the city was going to come up with close to $1 million for the se-nior center, the least we could do was use some of the levy resources that the citizens have passed to help operate the facility.” Her proposal, though, was shot down by Bob Marquette, president of the senior center, and Bob Benton, a director of the board, according to Beazley. Instead, they asked Oregon City Council to put a 0.5-mill, fi ve year operating levy on the Nov. 5 ballot, which council approved. If passed, the levy would bring in $207,000 in annual revenue for the center.

Fewer funds Marquette, who also chairs the Oregon Citizens Supporting Senior Services pro-levy group, said the senior center needs its own levy because the AOoA is providing fewer funds to support current programs the center offers, such as Bingo, Euchre, Mahjong, Wii bowling, exercise fi tness,

The Madison Township Gibsonburg Volunteer Fire Department is seeking addi-tional millage Tuesday to purchase a new truck and bolster its operating revenue. A 0.9-mill, 3-year levy, if passed, will be used to replace a 23-year-old fi rst responder truck and a 1-mill, 5-year levy will be used for operating expenses such as training, equipment repair and replacement, fuel and other costs. The department is jointly funded by the township and Village of Gibsonburg. A new truck will have a larger chassis and can carry more personnel trained for emergency medical service as well as offer better access to medical equipment, having more compartments, and an upgraded elec-trical system, according to a fl yer prepared by a levy committee. The 0.9 mill levy is expected to gener-ate approximately $57,000 per year and will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $31.50 a year. The new truck is expected to cost around $150,000. Additional levy funds collected will be used to outfi t the truck with equipment. The 1-mill levy will, if passed, gener-ate an additional $63,585 annually for the department’s operations. According to the levy committee, the

The department is the only one in San-dusky County not supported by a dedicated operating levy, the fl yer states. A 0.8-mill, 10-year levy expired in 2012 The owner of a $100,000 home will pay

Genoa formsauxiliary police unitBy Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The Press

An auxiliary police force will be added to the Genoa Police Department. Village council recently approved the hiring of fi ve or six auxiliary policemen at the request of Mayor Mark Williams. The unit, whose members are expected to work at least eight hours per month, will complement the service of the offi cers cur-rently on staff. The department currently has a chief, three full-time offi cers and three part-time offi cers that provide service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Auxiliary offi cers’ main duties will include manning parades, festivals, races and park detail during sports tournaments. Their presence will help free up the regu-lar force on patrol at the time of the special events “I hope to bring them on board by the new year,” Chief Bob Bratton said. But the chief notes he’ll be careful not to overuse the offi cers. He’s not trying to present a show of force in the town. “I don’t want an overkill. I don’t want to be showing too many offi cers for a small community. That’s not what this is about,” he said. “We need offi cers that are commu-nity minded to carry out community polic-ing.” The auxiliary unit is about providing assistance to the main police force. Genoa had an auxiliary police unit years ago but it fell to the wayside, accord-ing to Village Administrator Kevin Glad-den. The new unit can also provide a pool of possible candidates when other job openings come up, Bratton said. Auxiliary members through their service with the po-lice department become familiar with the department routines, paperwork and com-puter systems. Certifi ed offi cers will be sought for the auxiliary unit. Those people, both men and women, have taken law enforcement class-es at area police academies and passed the qualifying tests. Most of the applicants, he said, have good private sector jobs. But they have cer-tifi ed police offi cer status and still want to use those skills occasionally, the chief ex-plained. The hiring process for police offi cers was called into question in late summer. Bratton and Williams began interviews after a part-time offi cer resigned because of the demands of his other job. In August, based on the mayor’s recommendation, council approved part-time offi cers Cody Garcia and Aimee Bixler. Whether other offi cials should have been included in the interviews of poten-tial village employees became a lively topic of several council meetings in late summer. Safety Committee Chairman Daryl Bittner said he would appreciate more communi-cation with the mayor prior to Williams’ making his hiring recommendations before council. Council’s personnel committee even drafted an ordinance to change the Genoa Municipal Code regarding the process. The ordinance, however, has not been complet-ed. Williams contends he and the chief followed the Ohio Revised Code regarding conducting interviews and hiring. “I make the appointments and council can approve it or not,” he said. The mayor did concede, however, the oversight in not keeping Bittner up-to-date in the matter. The mayor said he believes full council input is necessary in more high profi le po-sitions. For instance, he said, council was involved when the village sought a new po-lice chief in 2011. Bratton, who left his then position as Ottawa County sheriff, set out to retool the department mired in turmoil created under the previous administration. That dissent culminated into several investigations, in-cluding workplace harassment, brought to light by several high-ranking offi cers. Bratton’s concentration over the past two years has been on improving staff train-ing and morale, updating equipment and building better relationships with both resi-dents and the business community. Despite the fact the new personnel ordinance has not been approved, Bratton said he wants to “abide by council’s wish-es” and include council members in all of his department’s interview processes. Although, he said, trying to coordinate that many schedules can be a chore.

Junk vehicle crackdown begins in GenoaBy Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press

Genoa police sent seven warning letters recently to property owners who haven’t cleaned up junk vehicles despite village ef-forts to work with them. The letters are the newest part of the junk vehicle crackdown undertaken by Po-lice Chief Bob Bratton and his department. At the direction of village council, Bratton has been working on the junk ve-hicle/trash issue for months. The better part of the project has involved one-on-one talks with property owners. The goal, he said, is to get the sites cleaned up without

going through legal channels, he said. “I’ve been working on this for a while. I’ve had some success working with the people,” the chief said. Some others, not so much. The seven properties targeted in this fi rst round of letters are located across the village. The junk vehicles and trash have accumulated along the alleys and through-out side yards for an undetermined amount of time. The letters state that property owners have until Nov. 12 to deal with the prob-lem. That is, the chief said, they need to get the places cleaned up or contact us with a plan that shows they are really attempting

to do something about the mess. If these warnings go unanswered, po-lice offi cers must issue citations. Property owners will then head to Ot-tawa County Municipal Court to respond to the misdemeanor charges. “If the court orders them to remove the trash, they will have so long to do that,” Bratton said. Further resistance will force village offi cials to take matters into their own hands. The lands will be cleaned up by the village and the expenses will be attached to the property owners’ tax assessments, Brat-ton explained.

The foundation of Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School may have been built in 1961, but the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania formed the cornerstone of the ed-ucational foundation the school has today. The same energy and passion the sisters displayed for decades at the school was ap-parent again when Sister Ann Carmen stole the show at the 2013 Red and Black Affair.

As Sr. Ann Carmen stood atop of her chair and waved to the crowd, the audi-ence erupted into a thunder of applause to honor the Sisters’ 51 years of service to the school.

Over the years, 73 sisters lived their vocation both in the classroom and in the lives of their students. When the doors of Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School were opened in 1961, the impact of the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania was immediately felt. The sisters were asked by Bishop Reh-ring to help lead the formation of the new high school and operate it as well.

In the early days, the sisters were the teachers, administrators and leaders of the school, but they also called the school building their home. Sisters lived inside the school in the early 1960s. It was quick-ly apparent they needed a more comfort-able living environment, so an on-campus convent was built to house them.

“We loved and love them (students),” said Sr. Ann Carmen. “It wasn’t a job. It was us being a part of their lives. These students are our legacy.”

And the students loved the sisters just as much. Jerry Brown, a ’77 graduate, re-members the sisters pushing him toward academic success in high school, which translated into success in college and busi-ness as well.

“As a stubborn and all-knowing teen-age student who often looked no further ahead in life than what was happening on the weekend, I was tenderly nudged, gently prodded, and often fi rmly pushed to partic-ipate in classes, clubs, or events that, at the time, I saw no use for,” said Brown. “But the Sisters were looking much further

down the road than I was. They weren’t concerned with me just exceeding in high school; they were more concerned with me exceeding in life.”

In the decades to follow, as the number of sisters began to dwindle, they eventually left the convent for a smaller, off-campus living quarters. In the summer of 2010, the convent at St. Kateri Catholic Schools was converted into classroom space, housing the music and art departments and was renamed the Sister Rose Angela Education Center.

The fi nal Sylvania Franciscan Sister, Sr. Ann Lorette Piekarz, retired from teach-ing kindergarten in the spring of 2012. But

while the sisters may no longer be roaming the halls of the high school on a daily basis, the impact they had on the schools will be everlasting. But the impact the schools had on the sisters is almost just as powerful.

“We bring just as much energy to the mission,” said Sr. Ann Carmen. “We are always asking ourselves, ‘How can we be present? How can we have an impact for the good? Is there something I can do to help Stritch?’ We ask ourselves these ques-tions almost daily.”

active experiences to tell the story of the Great Lakes. The experience is to be both educational and entertaining.

“This is a long term dream to create a national museum of the Great Lakes,” Gill-crist said. “We can raise people’s under-standing and appreciation of the important history of the Great Lakes. Having the space and the location to do it makes all the dif-ference in the world.”

It is hoped that the vacationing public and school children will fi nd experiences in the museum that “enrich their lives and elevate their appreciation for the important role” Great Lakes history has played in the North American continent’s development, a pamphlet states.

As part of its agreement, the historical society will manage the Schoonmaker mu-seum ship, which was relocated from Inter-national Park in October 2012. Estimated cost to maintain the vessel is $50,000 an-nually.

LeMarre, the former executive director of the Schoonmaker and formerly in charge of Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority’s maritime affairs, calls the museum “the largest historic preservation project in Great Lakes history.” He remains part of the his-torical society’s vessel committee, which will have oversight of the Schoonmaker. “This will be the Smithsonian of Great Lakes maritime culture,” LeMarre said. “It’s only fi tting that it is in the port of Toledo, which is commonly referred to as the capi-tal of the lower lakes, anyways. But, this project has come a long way and has over-come many hurdles to bring together many assets of maritime history and culture to present the total package to future visitors. “From exploration and settlement, to the 1,000-foot lake freighters on the lakes today, it tells the story of a people that have been part of that industry for 100-plus years,” continued LaMarre.

Complementing businessesThe historical society over the past

three years has raised 77 percent of the funds needed for moving the museum and renovating the building from public sources. If you count the value of the To-ledo Maritime Center into the equation, the project is funded at 82 percent and Gillcrist says the retrofi t of the building is about 85 percent complete and about fi ve percent of the exhibits are in place. The rest of the ex-hibits should be installed by December 10.

The reasons for moving it from Ver-milion to Toledo — cost effectiveness to a newly constructed building for museum ex-hibits, superior access to Interstate 280 and I-75, willingness on the part of the City of Toledo to relocate and restore the Schoon-maker, availability of additional land for development, and presence in a historic

port setting. “Toledo has a long history in the ship-ping business and to have this museum here is really great for us,” said Mary Dal-by, owner of Harbor Light Cruise Lines, which has operated Sandpiper cruises for 20 years. “It looks like it’s going to be a really fabulous facility,” Dalby continued. “Hope-fully, it will bring people in from all over the country if not from all over the world. There are other Great Lakes museums around, but this one could be the best. And, having the Schoonmaker as a part of it is a real plus for it.”

Dalby knows from experience how tourism businesses can complement each other fi nancially.

“I’ll tell you the truth — Cousino’s Navy Bistro, when he (former owner Tom Cousino) built that restaurant, people came down downtown and didn’t die. They were sure they were going to, but they went there. They saw the Sandpiper go by, and people would see the Navy Bistro, and they would say, ‘What is that? A Navy supply store?’ And, I’d say ‘No, it’s a restaurant.’ We fed off each other and I think that it helped both of us become a success.

“This facility, we’ll go by, and people will say, ‘What’s that?’ And, I’ll say, ‘That’s a museum,’ and at the museum they’ll say, ‘That’s the Sandpiper,’ and I think that will be good.”

line dancing, Bunco, body sculpting, com-modities, belly dancing, and rides to and from medical appointments and shopping. “Members also want computer classes and access to getting a GED,” he said. “We would like to bring in people to learn about Obama Care. We would like to have a com-puter lab, so we would need computers. If members have a question about pharmaceu-tical services, maybe they would be able to speak to a pharmacist, or even speak to a lawyer.” There are also fewer dollars, according to Marquette, left to pay the center’s full-time executive director, Paula Benton, as well as a part-time secretary/assistant, a part-time maintenance employee, and two part-time drivers. One of the part-time driv-ers is Paula’s husband, Bob Benton. Marquette said Paula Benton has re-ceived a 3 percent raise in salary in the eight years she’s been executive director. Marquette would not disclose Paula’s sal-ary, nor would Paula when asked by a re-porter from The Press, though she is paid with public funds. She refused to comment further for this story. The Press obtained a copy of the 990 non-profi t tax return fi led by the center with the IRS in 2011, the most recent report available. It notes Paula’s annual compen-sation is $39,462. The tax return also notes salaries, other compensation, and employee benefi ts to-taled $89,751, though there was no break-down in the allocation per employee. The center’s total revenue was $128,772 and expenses $137,756 in 2011, according to the tax return. The center had cash, sav-ings and investments of $80,505 at the end of the year. Some of the revenue from the senior levy would go toward salary raises for Pau-la and the other employees at the center, said Marquette. It would also go toward hiring a full-time administrative assistant. Other plans for the revenue include buying a new van to replace an older van that has over 200,000 miles on it, said Mar-quette. Underperformance According to fi gures released by the AOoA, funding for the senior center has indeed been reduced. In 2009 and 2010, the AOoA allocated $72,243.88 to the se-nior center. In 2011, funding increased to $74,240.42. In 2012 and 2013, the amount dropped to $63,870.56. But the AOoA said the center received fewer dollars partly due to its “underper-formance,” in providing contracted servic-es to seniors in 2010 and 2011. The center simply did not use all the funding allocated by the AOoA during those years. “In 2010, the senior center did not use about 5 percent of its award or $3,914.64,” Phil Walton, board chairman of the AOoA states in an Oct. 5 letter to Marquette. “In 2011, the center did not use about 10 per-cent of its award, or $7,452.59.” For 2012, the senior center’s award was $2,917.27 less than the amount that was used in 2011, he added. The senior center also gets funds from the city, which also dropped slightly since 2009, according to fi gures released by Or-egon Finance Director Kathy Hufford. The center received $48,500 in 2009 and 2010; and $47,715 in 2011, 2012 and 2013. The reductions are due to savings in utilities. The city has consistently provided $31,000 in each of the last fi ve years to the center for miscellaneous costs. The amount the city budgets for senior

center expenses and programs is decided during the budget process, according to Hufford. The city administration recom-mends an amount that is reviewed during annual budget hearings attended by coun-cil before it goes to council for approval. The senior center submits invoices to the city with receipts attached requesting reimbursement for expenses. The city also budgets $25,500 annually for senior programs at the YMCA. Marquette acknowledged the cen-ter has underperformed, but gave reasons ranging from lower attendance due to poor weather to the closing of the center on elec-tion days because it is a polling place. Johnson said other senior centers pro-vide out-of-center services to make up for underperforming in other areas. “They are providing other programs

and services that are needed. You have to get creative,” said Johnson. “That’s why we have directors, to come up with those other services and programs that are needed in a community. You can change your bud-get. You can say, `We’ve closed the center down, but we need more transportation to get people to the doctor, hospital or to get therapy. So I want to reprogram my sup-portive dollars to transportation.’ We ap-prove those.” The funding the senior center receives from the AOoA is just a portion of what the agency spends on senior services in Ore-

gon. For example, in 2012, the AOoA spent a total of $309,279.12 on Oregon seniors with revenue from the Lucas County Se-nior Services levy, block grants and Older Americans Act funding, according to Justin Moor, vice president of planning and pro-gram development at AOoA. Johnson said the agency’s budgets have grown, mostly due to Medicaid and Pass-port programs. “Those services are growing because the older population is becoming more frail and needing home care services versus be-ing able to come to a senior center or to a nutrition site,” she said. 5 year budget On Sept. 26, Karen McConnell, a mem-ber of the senior center board, met with the AOoA’s board to discuss the Oregon Senior Services levy and asked for the agency’s support. The AOoA sent a letter to Marquette requesting a fi ve year budget, but there was no response, according to Moor. “We requested a budget detailing how these funds would be spent and, to date, we have not received this information,” said Moor. “The Area Offi ce on Aging doesn’t know whether the amount of the Oregon senior levy funding would be used for ad-ministration, operations, services or pro-grams.” Marquette said he would not comment on why he has not responded to the AOoA’s request to submit a fi ve year budget. The AOoA also had other concerns. Among them: The timing of the Oregon levy, one year before voters would consider a renewal of the Lucas County Senior Ser-vices levy, according to the minutes of the Sept. 26 AOoA board meeting. If Oregon votes for its own senior levy, would they also renew the county levy, and pay twice for services? “If the Oregon Senior Services levy passes, an Oregon resident would be pay-ing for both the Lucas County Senior Ser-vices levy and the Oregon Senior Services levy,” Moor said to The Press. And that could jeopardize funding for seniors throughout the county. “It puts at risk so many other seniors throughout Lucas County,” said Johnson. “They really must think these things out. If you’re going to go for a levy, then you re-ally need to tell people what you’re going to spend it for,” she added, a reference to the senior center not providing a fi ve year budget to the agency. If passed, the Oregon senior levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $17.50 annually.

Ag NotesDeadline for labor camp Owners/operators of existing or new agricultural labor camps throughout Ohio have until Nov. 25 to submit applications for assistance to improve their farm-work-ers’ living quarters. The state extended the deadline for applications. Those interested in assistance should call 419-334-5016 to have Cindy Brookes help review the application before it is sub-mitted. “Reviewing the application before it is

submitted will reduce the possibility of any defi ciencies it may have,” Brookes said. Funds may be used for any of the fol-lowing projects – construction, rehabilita-tion or demolition of migrant farm work-ers’ housing units; water supply (e.g. wells, connector to public system, distribution); all costs associated with construction/re-habilitation of common restroom facilities; gas and electric supply; site improvements (e.g. drainage); roads, bridges, and parking areas; and planning, architectural, engi-

neering, surveying, permits, or testing costs related to an eligible activity. The maximum grant amount is no more than $25,000 per camp annually, with a minimum grant amount of $5,000. In addition, the program requires a dollar-for-dollar match, which cannot be in-kind contributions. The applicant’s match may be in the form of cash or commitments from lending institutions/processors. For more information, call Brookes or visit www.wsos.org.

Eastwood levy renewal needed, says superintendentBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

With a potential bonanza coming for the Eastwood school district, superinten-dent Brent Welker is emphasizing to vot-ers that a permanent improvement renewal levy on Tuesday’s ballot is still needed. The 2-mill, 5-year levy generates about $265,095 annually and has been in effect for 20 years, allowing the district to meet the costs of repair and maintenance proj-ects that aren’t covered by operating rev-enues. This past June, Eastwood offi cials signed an agreement with Home Depot, Inc. for the company to pay the school dis-trict $675,000 a year for 15 years as part of a real estate tax abatement package. The pay-ments and abatement are linked to an en-

terprise zone established in Troy Township where the company has expressed interest in building a distribution center. Welker, in his weekly newsletter, said the school board has determined the best use of the revenue from Home Depot is to address problems with the aging elemen-tary school buildings.

He said the board and administration will host a town hall forum Nov. 13 to up-date the community on board proposals for the buildings. A survey of the district’s residents is being scheduled to gauge the public’s opin-ion on options the board is considering, Welker said. To demonstrate the need for the renew-al levy, he points to maintenance issues that were brought to his attention in the course of one day:• Several schools were having boiler “is sues”• A dishwasher wasn’t working• Two freezers weren’t working properly, including a walk-in freezer at the middle school. The estimated cost for the repairs is about $10,000 and is primarily covered by the permanent improvement fund.

“When you have fi ve facilities, 22 buses and multiple support vehicles like vans, trucks, movers and utility vehicles, you have to have a dedicated stream that is aside from your operating levies to fund those projects,” Welker writes. The school board recently approved a resolution asking the Ohio School Facili-ties Commission to, in essence, hold the district’s place in line should it decide to pursue an option that would be eligible for state funding. Welker said after the board passed the resolution only to keep all of the district’s options open. The Nov. 13 forum had been scheduled for September but school offi cials decided to delay it after hearing from a local facili-ties task force and business advisory coun-cil to get a clearer idea of what would be fi nancially viable for the district.

By Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The Press

North Point Education Services staff-ers Tuesday introduced their new home in the heart of Graytown to the public. Minutes after the last school bell rang and students departed, staff stepped out into hallways to greet those who dropped by to see how the converted Graytown El-ementary School will function in days to come. Early into the four-hour open house, guests included a postal worker, neighbors and business people from nearby commu-nities. The Benton-Carrroll-Salem School Dis-trict sold the two-story building to North Point earlier this month for $8,000. School district offi cials shuttered the building and two other elementary schools in a mass consolidation effort meant to control bud-get costs after failed tax levies. The deal was a win for North Point, the school districts it serves and the surround-ing community, said Douglas P. Crooks, su-perintendent of North Point. North Point is a regional education ser-vice provider that supports 27 school sys-tems and over 38,000 students in Ottawa, Erie, Huron and parts of Sandusky County. Services include special education, alter-native education options and preschool to professional development activities and gifted/talented programs. The main offi ce is in Sandusky. Locally, North Point previously worked out of the old Camper school building near downtown Genoa. While it provided a place to operate, the building was not very edu-

North Point Education Services opens doors to community

cation friendly for the services involved, Crooks said. Leading the list of problems: a lack of a cafeteria, gymnasium and handicap acces-sibility. Students ate lunch at their desks and had to walk down the street twice a week to use the gym at the Christ Community Church, which is the former middle school, according to Andrea Smith, the regional co-ordinator at North Point. Here, children eat in the cafeteria and have full use of the gym. The benefi ts of the gym are priceless especially when dealing with kids with be-havioral problems. “They can earn gym time and head down here for 5 or 10 minutes to shoot bas-kets or blow off steam,” Smith explained. Cathy Hammoud, an educator of 40

years with 20 years specializing in kids with behavior or emotional issues, can ap-preciate all those benefi ts and more. Her classroom, consisting of students in grades eight through 12, focuses on teaching diffi cult students. But, she points out, they also aim to better equip students to function with others should they excel enough to return to their home schools or venture on to vocational programs. Hammoud trusts the change in envi-ronment can only heighten expectations for students. “Look at that,” she said, turning her head toward the line of windows spanning her fi rst-fl oor classroom. Outside, a bounty of colorful leaves blew softly in the wind of a sunny autumn day. Across the street sat a baseball fi eld and fi elds of crops just beyond. “At the old place, we looked at tires,” the teacher said, explaining her classroom in the former building was in the base-ment. She also often had to interrupt lessons as semi-trucks and dump trucks en route to the quarry in Genoa made noisy stops at the intersection. “You couldn’t hear a thing. This is so much better. And we have so much more room,” she smiled. In all, there are about 11 employees in the building. Yet, other North Point staff such as occupational therapists and physi-cal therapists maintain offi ce space at the site and stop in regularly, Smith said. Funding of North Point operations comes from a couple of sources. One is state funding.

“We only get $26 per student from the state,” Kirk said. The bulk of North Point’s operating cash comes from selling education services to its member districts. And, the superin-tendent noted, the specialties are fi ne tuned regularly to stand above in the competitive educational services fi eld. Another source is grants such as the one administered through the Ottawa Coun-ty Juvenile/Probate Court to underwrite the Student Achievement Program (SAP). This program helps the at-risk kids under court supervision continue their education in on-line classrooms. “Many are seniors. We try to get them to graduation,” said SAP teacher Traci Riechman. Court administrator Lori Clune said grant monies come through the Department of Youth Services and vary each year. “It’s based on the number of felonies (accumulated) over a fi ve-year period in our court,” Clune said. The majority of SAP students fall un-der the truancy category. “Some of them are trying to make up two years of school,” she explained. Juvenile Court Judge Kathleen Geisler stopped in during the morning on her way to work. Her schedule didn’t allow time for an open house visit, but she lives in the area and dropped by on the way to work, Clune said. “That’s another nice thing about this - her accessibility to the place. It’s very con-venient,” Crooks said. “You know, she went to school here. That’s kind of neat.”

No skill is more important to success in life than reading. None. After centuries of learning and after all the changes in education brought about by technology and new teaching methods, nothing will put your child on the road to success like the love of reading. The obvious advantage is in classroom performance. Students who don’t read pro-fi ciently by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school, according to the study Double Jeopardy: How Third Grade Reading Skills and Poverty Infl u-ence High School Graduation by Donald Hernandez, a professor at City University of New York. The study was cited by Ohio Governor John Kasich when he unveiled The Third Grade Guarantee, a state program to iden-tify and provide services for kids who lag in reading skills. Under the program, kids who cannot read at grade level cannot ad-vance to fourth grade, although they will be able to take fourth-grade classes in other subjects. The guarantee calls for testing and in-tervention starting in kindergarten. While it’s too early to assess the impact of Gov. Kasich’s initiative, the need is dire. According to The Nation’s Report Card, only 34 percent of Ohio fourth graders read at grade level. If your child is one of the 34 percent, he or she has a much better chance of land-ing a good job leading to a higher quality of life. Many of those jobs are not jobs in which you are strapped to a machine do-

Introducing the cheapest way to a good job and better life

ing mindless work, or where your work is routinely supervised. Today, more people work at home, or on the road. This trend coupled with the purge of middle manag-ers due to the Big Recession means there is less supervision. The worker who will get ahead is one who shows initiative and keeps abreast of technological and educa-tional advancements in his or her fi eld on his or her own. Those who develop logical thinking skills, can read quickly and grasp abstract concepts will have an edge. Fur-

thermore, you are more likely to switch jobs or careers than your parents, thus learning how to learn on your own to prepare for those changes is an indispensible asset. Success in the workplace typically translates into increased revenue and ad-equate revenue is important in building a stable family. Fighting over family fi nances is one of the leading causes of divorce. There are two ways to improve your fi nancial situation at home: earn more or spend less. My love of reading comes from my French mother, who read to learn the language and help seven kids with home-work, and a father who read magazines and manuals to build the house and repair the cars and appliances. These are real-world examples of how reading can help someone better their family situation. I too have used books, manuals and the Internet to trouble-shoot a washing ma-chine, a car, a garage door opener and to calculate the payback on home refi nancing and adding insulation to the house. I have also been an avid reader of newspapers since, as a young teen, I saw my father throw his newspaper against the French doors in anger about what govern-ment was doing. Consider what you learned by reading the last two issues of The Press: You now know about 450 construction jobs coming to Oregon; you now know how to access a levy estimator to calculate how much the senior services levy in Oregon will cost you before you vote; you now know what your neighbors think about the bond issue to build new schools in North-wood; and you now know the latest in the saga about the demolition of the Woodville

Mall. You have also read inspiring stories such as the one about the Cardinal Stritch grad who started his career mopping fl oors at Burger King and is now the CEO of a company with 223 restaurants. And, you now know how man is saving from extinc-tion the endangered Whooping Crane by teaching it how to fl y south by following an ultralight. In each of the last two issues of The Press you would have been exposed to more than 450 ads promoting products and services that help you save money and im-prove your quality of life. You miss out on all of this if you do not have a love of reading. Today, with the Internet, you now have the world’s knowledge at your fi ngertips. You can discover new worlds and new ways of thinking. You can use it to help form your beliefs and your code of honor. You can gain insight into how your mind works, how to read people, how to commu-nicate and how to parent. Reading can also be fun and relaxing. However, it is work. And, this is where you, as a parent, come in; studies have shown that kids tend not to read if their parents don’t read. Reading is the least expensive, most effective skill you can help your child de-velop. Don’t wait to see how effective the new state program will be to assure your child will have an edge when it comes to competing for employment. Read and read to them.

Comment at zoz@presspublications.

Procrastination sabotages your future. When you were a kid, time appeared to be limitless. There was no risk in putting things off until later. You had all the time in the world. As you grew older, you began to realize your original outlook was faulty. Time defi nitely is fi nite. Although your understanding changed, the habit of putting things off remained an ingrained habit. You continue to utilize the strategy of using someday as a goal for ac-complishments. The fl aw in this approach is that there is no deadline or sense of urgency so there’s no real incentive to get started . An impending deadline is a great mo-tivator. It can even create a sense of emer-gency. You rush to get things done because you fear the consequences of not doing so. If there is no deadline, chances are nothing will ever be accomplished. You rarely put things off you are ex-cited about. It’s those tasks you don’t want to do, don’t like doing, are too diffi cult, or you just don’t know where to start, that are postponed to some unidentifi able point in the future. Fear of failure is another excuse used when putting things off. The regrets people have later in life are all of those things they never did, not those things that may not have worked out as planned. Whatever your goals may be, nothing will happen until you make it happen. The best way to accomplish this is by redefi ning “someday” to mean “today.” Your goals for today are much more likely to be accom-plished than your aspirations for someday. Even a task that cannot be completed today can be started today. Taking action, even one small step, no matter how small,

You know that someday you think about? It’s today

is essential to breaking through the wall of procrastination. Forward movement is amazingly powerful. It gets you off the side-lines and on the road to success. One effective action strategy is working on a task for just 15 minutes today. Don’t worry about how much or how little you will accomplish. You can devote 15 min-utes to anything you have been putting off. Once you get started, you must keep your momentum going. Develop a timeline with specifi c dates and measurable accom-plishments. This process establishes con-crete deadlines to maintain your motiva-tion. Next, you need to identify and remove any roadblocks that have gotten in your way or will inhibit your progress. There are no obstacles which cannot be overcome. Every

problem has a solution. Instead of making excuses, fi nd the solutions. Another anchor that prevents forward movement is worry. Worry is a waste of time and energy. You fret over what has happened, what is happening, or what may happen. Regardless of how intently you worry, nothing positive will be accom-plished. Replace worry with action. Take whatever steps are necessary to bring about your desired outcome. Do you have goals? What are they? To-day is the time to identify your objectives. Don’t put it off any longer. If you haven’t given this much thought, start now. Identify your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weak-

nesses. Where would you like to be? What would you like to do? Today is your someday. Life is not a practice run. Start working on those issues you have been putting off. Until you become proactive, nothing happens. You don’t want to be in a position where you look back years from now and lament all those things you didn’t do because you put them off. Today is tomorrow’s yesterday. Start things today so you won’t regret putting them off tomor-row.

Indebted to teachers To the editor: I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to the teachers, supporting staff and administra-tors that have touched my children’s lives. From the secretaries that have been my main source of communication and infor-mation, to the lunch ladies that have served my kids, to the janitors that have cleaned my children’s messes, the nurses that have nursed my kids, the bus drivers that have transported my children safely to and from school and extra-curricular events, to the principals that have signed my children’s grade cards and have written words of en-couragement, I thank you all. It is the teachers that I want to focus on. I am truly fortunate, grateful, blessed and indebted to my children’s teachers past, present and future. You have one of the most important jobs and are not thanked, paid or appreciated enough. In addition to academic instruction, you are leader, su-pervisor, mentor, diplomat, psychologist, organizer, nurse, disciplinarian, role mod-el etc. to our kids, our most precious gifts (most days). Some of you spend more time with my children than I do because of the school day, after school activities and my work schedule. People who are unaware need to realize that you put in more than an eight-hour day. I understand that papers cannot always be graded during school time be-cause of other responsibilities you do like, morning, lunch and parking lot duty; su-pervising our kids until the buses arrive at the end of the day or in the morning before school opens; chaperoning a dance; being an advisor to a club; being on a committee; fi lling in for another teacher last-minute or conducting a concert, performance or com-petition. The before- and after-school stuff you do is part of the job and like most places there are some slackers. Not all teachers are great, but the majority are. I understand that the things you do outside of school takes away from your personal life too, whether it be your family, hobbies or your rest and relaxation. In some instances you not only put in your time, but money too for supplies and educational materials. To me, your job is of the highest impor-tance. You are helping shape our children’s lives, pick up where we leave off in the morning (since we can’t be with our kids 24/7). I have had the pleasure of knowing some awesome teachers who in turn have helped produce and infl uenced some awe-some kids (society’s future decision-mak-ers, leaders, neighbors, parents, community members and co-workers). I would challenge anyone to walk in your shoes. Not everyone can do what you do. I am forever grateful to all of you for all you have done. You have truly made a difference and have helped make a better family, community and world.Julianna RuetzMother of four kids who have been in the Toledo Public, Toledo Catholic and Wood-more School Systems

Broken promises To the editor: The failures and bro-ken promises of Obama Care are becoming abundantly clear to the public yet Joann Schiavone’s letter criticized those who oppose the law. Maybe she should look at the reality of what has happened since the law’s inception and she would see why Congressman Bob Latta is standing with the majority of his constituents and Americans on the issue of Obama Care. The law’s lack of popularity led to an unknown Republican winning the Senate seat of the late liberal Ted Kennedy in a state with an 80 percent Democratic legis-lature. Democrats in Congress ignored that message and used parliamentary proce-dures to ram the law through, preventing the new senator from stopping it. In 2010, the law’s passage led to an election cycle gain of 63 Republican House seats and six Senate seats on the promises to do something about Obama Care. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled the law constitutional and Schiavone con-siders it a settled matter. I wonder if she would have felt that way in 1896 when the Supreme Court ruled that ‘separate but equal’ was legitimate. Much like that deci-sion, the majority opinion on the court had to create a silly interpretation to deem the law Constitutional. In 2012, voters re-elected Obama. Democrats call it an endorsement of Obama Care despite polling on the policy being vastly different than polling on Obama versus Romney. At the same time, voters elected more Republicans to national offi ce than Democrats. Today, there remain 24 more Republicans than Democrats elected to offi ce in Washington.

In the summer of 2013, President Obama announced delaying the employ-er mandate on health insurance while staunchly opposing a delay to the individ-ual mandate. Democrats are fi ne giving big business special treatment while trampling the little guys. In the fall of 2013, Bob Latta and others stand for delaying the individual mandate and are blamed for the government shut-down. Within weeks of the government re-opening, many Democrats are coming out in favor of delaying the mandate following the embarrassment of the healthcare web-site and their re-election bids. Meanwhile, millions are being dropped from their in-surance plans despite the president’s prom-ises. I wonder if Schiavone considers these people to be delusional like Bob Latta.Adam SwartzWalbridge

Coincidence? To the editor: Originally, the people in my old neighborhood were of French descent, except for a few Germans. Our neighborhood was called Birmingham because it had so much heavy industry, like Birmingham, England. In 1890, they built the Maumee Malleable on Front Street next to the fl our mill. The company brought 100 Hungarian families from Cleveland to work at the plant. As more Hungarians arrived, the French slowly moved out. There were a few Italians, Slovaks and Czechs in the neighborhood; the majority were of Hungarian descent. Most parents, like mine, were foreign-born and came here as children with their parents. The men worked with and socialized with their own kind. English was a second language and many of them did not speak it very well. The women, on the other hand, needed to speak English in their everyday lives and they spoke it very well. If you had walked through my neighborhood before 1940 and heard all the foreign languages spoken, you’d have through you were in Europe. My wife’s grandfather, “the ole Frenchman,” built a house in the 400 block of Craig Street in 1900. My father-in-law grew up in that house. He bragged to me about how he had beat up on a boy who was a year or two older than him. He was 13 at the time. He told about seeing Hungarian weddings that lasted a week with dancing in the street. Then the wife’s grandfather moved the family. A few years later – in 1918 – my parents got married and moved into the upstairs apartment in the house that the ole Frenchman had built. Was that just coincidence? In 1948, my buddy was invited to his girlfriend’s home on Sunday afternoon to play cards and was asked to bring a friend. She lived on Vermont Street. We were two East Siders. We had such a good time, we did it again the following Sunday. He married his girlfriend and I married the young lady that was there with her – the ole Frenchman’s granddaughter. I don’t believe in coincidence.Louis AgostonToledo

Now is the time To the editor: In response to letters published last week regarding the facility plan for Northwood Local Schools:

Northwood Schools began assessing fa-cilities with the State of Ohio in 1990. That original study was revisited in 2000, again in 2008 and updated last in 2013. From that work completed over many years, there is no getting around the need to address our aging community infrastructure. The plan our community is being asked to support was arrived at through a com-munity engagement process in which 61 of our community members took part. Options from doing nothing to constructing new fa-cilities were examined in public meetings at which our community was invited to share their ideas. No plan could completely satisfy all of us, but through the process we were able to arrive at a recommendation that was supported by a substantial major-ity of those attending the meetings. The in-formation from those meetings is available on our school website. By the end of the process, it became clear the time was now to partner with the state to build new facilities because we need them and our cost only grows over time. One mill of property tax in North-wood generates about $115,000 per year. If a property tax alone was used to pay for the plan, the levy needed would have been around 9 mills. That would be a large levy, especially for those on fi xed incomes. Recognizing this, the community mem-bers studying our options recommended a levy split between property tax and income tax. The 0.25 percent earned income tax does not tax investment income, pensions or Social Security and makes this levy less expensive for our senior citizens. The district has also chosen to use funds from recent tax abatement agreements which re-duces the cost for all.Greg ClarkNorthwood Local SchoolsSuperintendent

Praise for agency To the editor: We’re writing regarding the article in The Press titled, “Agencies seek millage for continuing services.” Though the section concerning the Wood County levy was technically true, there were a couple of items that could be misleading. Referring to the growth of those needing services, the article stated, “the number of persons needing service is expected to grow.” The fact is, the number of folks needing services has already grown tremendously since the last levy years ago and that number continues to rise. The article also mentions a projected operating fund balance of $7.1 million by the end of 2013. This money is not excess, but will be instrumental in keeping the Wood County Board of Developmental Dis-abilities (WCBDD) in operation until the levy money becomes available later in 2014.

Have you ever before had an opportunity to vote for additional funds for an agency that has done such a great job stretching the money they were given to work with 13 years ago? Our family has much more than a pass-ing acquaintance with Wood County social services. Our youngest daughter was born with Down syndrome and a congenital heart defect. Within the fi rst month after she was born, we were contacted by a nurse who came out to our house and helped us to connect with services needed for Christy. For the next 34 years, they were a very wel-come and benefi cial part of our lives. They were with us every step of the way until Christy died two years ago. Quality of life was much enhanced because of their in-volvement. We thank God they were there and enthusiastically support the levy.Ray and Mary Jo BoschMillbury

“Cat Choice” named To the editor: The Woodmore High School Varsity Girls Soccer program held their 2nd annual Cat Pizza Challenge Fri-day, Oct. 18. Five local pizza parlors par-ticipated. The team wishes to thank Marco’s Piz-za in Woodville, Beck’s Pizza in Woodville, Pisanello’s Pizza in Elmore, Portage Inn in Elmore and The County Keg in Graytown for participating in the event. Single-item pizza slices from each piz-zeria were purchased by Woodmore Wild-cat fans prior to the Homecoming Game. Each slice of pizza purchased allowed par-ticipants to vote for the “Cat Choice” favor-ite pizza award. For second time in two years –“Cat Choice” was awarded to the Portage Inn in Elmore. On Friday, Oct. 25, DJ Greenhill and family, owners of the Portage Inn were presented the winning banner by members of the Woodmore Varsity Girls Soccer team during the Woodmore vs. Otsego football game. Coach Jason Allen and Coach Rachel Swope would like to thank all who partici-pated in this event.Jill BenchElmore

Workers deserve thanks To the editor: On Oct. 10 at 4 p.m., I called the Oregon City Water Department and informed the person responding about a broken water valve in my basement. In a short time, an employee was at my resi-dence and determined the valve indeed was broken. Also, the valve near the sidewalk was broken. The employee stated that the next morning, the valve at the sidewalk would be replaced and it was and the department workers were effi cient and courteous. I compare this to a very negative re-sponse in 2012 from an Oregon city em-ployee. Richard ZunkOregon

Visitors can get acquainted with the most important species of owls and wood-peckers in North America at a new exhibit being hosted at the National Center for Na-ture Photography in Secor Metropark, lo-cated at 10001 W. Central Ave., Berkey, six miles west of US 23/I-475. The exhibit, “The Owl & the Wood-pecker,” includes photos, information and evocative audio recordings that illustrate how the birds defi ne and enrich the spe-cifi c habitats on which they depend, and the critical importance of conserving those habitats. The traveling exhibit from the Burke Museum in Seattle is on view Saturdays and Sundays from noon-5 p.m. November through February. Admission is free. An opening reception for the exhibit will be held Saturday, Nov. 2 from 1-3 p.m. At 2 p.m., Nature’s Nursery will present a program featuring live owls. The “Owl & the Woodpecker” is based on a book of the same title by Seattle photog-rapher and author Paul Bannick, known for his intimate wildlife photography, which supports environmental conservation ef-forts. His work has appeared in Audubon magazine, the National Wildlife Federation Guide to North American Birds, Smithson-ian Guide to North American Birds, and in a number of other books, magazines, parks, refuges, and other places in North America and Europe. Exhibit highlights include: • Twenty-fi ve large-format, framed col-or prints by Bannick; • Text descriptions of each bird, written by the photographer, plus several thematic text panels that highlight the conservation issues affecting different owl and wood-pecker habitats across North America; • Audio recordings of the calls and drumming sounds of the birds featured in

the photographs. The exhibit was organized by the Burke Museum, University of Washington, creat-ed with Paul Bannick and Braided River, a partner of The Mountaineers Books. Spon-sorship of the local presentation of The Owl & the Woodpecker was provided by

Metroparks.

Local artist asked to exhibit Two other exhibits will also be on display November through February, in-cluding “A View from the Light,” by local nature photographer Maggi Dandar, a fre-

quent winner in the Metroparks’ annual photography contest. The other exhibit, “Trees: A Photo-graphic Celebration” by Ohio landscape photographer Ian Adams, features 83 pho-tographs taken through the seasons in Ohio and 13 other states. Dandar, of Curtice, has been photo-graphing the beauty of light for more than 20 years, winning several awards for her evocative photos. As a favorite participant in the Center’s annual Celebrating Nature through Photog-raphy Contests, she was invited to exhibit a selection of her favorite images. “I didn’t see it coming,” Dandar said of the invitation to exhibit her photos at the show. “When they contacted me I said, ‘Are you sure?’ Among the photos featured are “Cross-ing Over,” “Leaving the Herd” and “Burnt Sunrise.” “They’re all symbolic – they mean dif-ferent things to me,” she said. “I like the moody shots that make you think.” All the photos that will be on display were taken locally. “We have a gem here,” she said. “The Toledo area has a whole lot to offer if you just know where to go. The name of the exhibit exemplifi es Dandar’s appreciation of Christ’s hand in creating the beauty around us. “God cre-ated everything I photographed,” she said. “It’s beautiful and lovely – we can’t repro-duce it. “I take the photos from His point of view – I believe that’s why I’m there to photograph the beauty – it’s a blessing,” she said. “I’m also very blessed to live in a rural area of Jerusalem Township, where I can see the wildlife and the beauty,” she said. “I have deer that take walks through my yard. “That’s what inspires me,” she added.

Ken Hetrick sees few options for his wild animal refuge in Stony Ridge. Hetrick, the owner of Tiger Ridge Ex-otics – home to a collection of six tigers, three lions, a leopard, a grizzly bear, a tim-ber wolf and a liger; many of them elderly – Hetrick is convinced he can’t afford the costs associated with a new state permit and regulation program. One quote for liability insurance he received is $376 a month, he said, and re-quired changes to the fencing could cost thousands of dollars. “They’re telling owners to do all these things but some of it is not rational,” he said of the Ohio Dangerous Wild Animal Act, which bans unpermitted ownership of certain animals and reptiles by Jan. 1,

Owner of Stony Ridge animal refuge hoping for reprieve2014. The restricted list covers lions, tigers and other “large cats,” bears, elephants, cer-tain monkeys, rhinos, alligators, crocodiles, anacondas and pythons longer than 12 feet, certain vipers and venomous snakes. “Wildlife shelter” permits cost $250 for one to three animals and up to $1,000 for 11 to 15 animals. There is a $125 fee for each animal over the 15 limit. Owners must also obtain liability insurance or a surety bond of $200,000 to $1 million, depending on the number of animals. The application period for permits be-gan Oct. 1. As of last week, no owners have fi led for permits, said Erica Hawkins, a de-partment spokesperson. Department personnel have been visit-ing registered owners to distribute permit information and inspect enclosures, she said. Hetrick is trying to fi nd some reprieve from legislators, hoping the law can be

amended so his refuge can be exempted. He’s registered the animals but sees the law as an over-reaction to a tragic incident in Zanesville, Ohio, in October 2011, when an owner released his collection of wild animals shortly before committing suicide. Authorities killed nearly 50 of the animals to protect area residents. The law is being challenged by some owners as well as the Ohio Association of Animal Owners. Late last year the U.S. Dis-trict Court ruled in favor of the state and the OAAO fi led an appeal in May the Sixth District Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. Hetrick said he’s had no problems fol-lowing regulations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which has inspected the refuge he’s operated as a non-commercial venture funded by himself and donations for more than 30 years. “If they told me to do something I do it,” he said of the federal department. “But

it’s in a range of something you can do. The rules the state passed; there is no way for me to meet that.” He’s convinced one state regulation, having animals micro-chipped unless oth-erwise exempted, has resulted in the death of a grizzly bear that succumbed to the tran-quilizing drug used to insert the chip. All of the animals at the refuge have been rescued from owners who no longer wanted them, Hetrick said. The Humane Society of the United States intervened in the lawsuit on the side of the state. Karen Minton, Ohio director of the Hu-mane Society, called the regulations “com-monsense restrictions on the keeping of dangerous wild animals…” Information about the law is available on the department of agriculture website: http://www.agri.ohio.gov/TopNews/Dan-gerousWildAnimalAct/.

The Christmas Shoppe at Bench’s Greenhouse & Nursery in Elmore is cel-ebrating its 20th year of helping to make the holidays brighter for area families. It all began in 1994 when owners Don-ald and Janice Bench wanted to extend the season for the full-time employees at Bench’s. They started growing poinsettias – a holiday favorite – and the shop started offering them, along with Christmas deco-rations, cemetery items and live trees. Today, the shop is a one-stop holiday destination featuring more than 20,000 or-naments, live greens and wreaths and close to 200 artifi cial tree displays. In the past decade, The Christmas Shoppe at Bench’s expanded its inventory to include holiday gift items in addition to the traditional favorite decorations. New for 2013, shoppers will fi nd Wil-low Tree® by Demdaco angels and nativity pieces in addition to giftware including Da-vinci® Beads, PS Designs scarves and jew-elry by Victoria Leland Designs.

Oak Harbor girls’ soccer closes in on state fi nal fourBy Yaneek SmithPress Contributing [email protected]

Finally — after advancing to the dis-trict fi nals in fi ve of the previous 10 years, the Oak Harbor girls’ soccer team got over the proverbial hump with its 5-0 defeat over Woodmore to win a championship and advanced to regional play.

But it didn’t end there — the run was still continuing at last look.

The victory over the Wildcats, which avenged an early-season defeat to the North-ern Buckeye Conference champions, came in the Division III district fi nals at Lake Community Stadium. The Rockets (18-1-1) advanced to the regional tournament for the fi rst time in the program’s history. And with their 3-0 defeat of Continen-tal last Tuesday, Oak Harbor (18-1-1) was now one win away from a spot in the fi nal four heading into the weekend. The 10th ranked Rockets took on undefeated and No. 5 ranked Liberty-Benton (18-0-1) at Clyde High School Saturday for the right to go to state. The state semifi nal will be Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. at a site to be announced against the winner of the No. 3 Gates Mills Hawken (14-1-5)-Elyria Catholic (14-3-3) with the state championship Nov. 8 at noon at Columbus Crew Stadium. The other four teams in the elite eight were No. 6 Lynch-burg-Clay (19-0-1), Middletown Bishop

Fenwick (10-5-5), No. 2 Sidney Lehman Catholic (17-1-1), and Hamilton Badin (12-4-4).

Oak Harbor’s regional semifi nal vic-tory over the Pirates came on two goals from SBC Player of the Year Emma Barney, a freshman who has 33 goals, and another from forward Alexa Weis. Barney and Weis led the Rockets with four goals apiece in the postseason.

The other Rocket wins in the tourna-ment were a 2-0 victory over Swanton in the district semifi nal and a 5-1 win over Cardinal Stritch Catholic in the sectional fi nal. Woodmore is the only team the Rock-ets faced that has received votes in the state coaches poll heading into the match with L-B.

“Everybody was excited,” veteran coach Renee Goldstein said. “The girls were hoping to play Woodmore again be-cause they were upset about the loss. And moving down to Division III did make a dif-ference – not having to play (D-II) Ontario or Clear Fork is huge because they’re amaz-ing teams.”

The run through the tournament, which has seen the Rockets win four games by a combined score of 15-1, has brought the community together. People from town have gathered in multitudes at games throughout the regular season and again now in the postseason, something Gold-stein says has given the team a source of pride.

“It’s nice to see the community come together,” Goldstein said. “It’s great having their support.”

These Rockets have three top scorers in Barney, Weis and Paige Velliquette, who leads the team with 34 goals, a defense led by goalkeeper Ivy Martin, and chemistry that helps the players to maintain a cohe-siveness and focus.

“It was really great (to get to regionals) and I’m just so happy that we’ve made it this far,” senior co-captain Amanda Hetrick said. “I hope we can keep this going.”

Hetrick said the group’s camaraderie and her role as an upperclassmen is meant to help the freshmen and sophomores feel like they’re a part of the group.

“We all get along really well,” Hetrick said. “There isn’t really any confl ict, and when there is, it’s taken care of. We all de-pend on each other and work together as a team. I think our job (as seniors) is to make the (younger players) feel comfortable. We always try to make them feel welcome and never put them down.”

When it comes to team chemistry, Goldstein says this bunch has it.

“This group of girls gets along so well together, they communicate so well. They’re all friends. It’s no surprise to see a senior with one of the freshman. They’re constantly interacting with each other,” Goldstein said.

In all, the Rockets had three fi rst team (Barney, Velliquette, Karis Dewalt) and

two second-team (Martin, Hetrick) All-Sandusky Bay Conference selections with Weis, Maddy Rathbun, Hannah Hess, No-elle Petersen and Emily Winters earning honorable-mention status.

Oak Harbor, which runs a 4-4-2 for-mation, has Martin in goal with Dewalt, Rathbun, Hess and Petersen playing de-fense. The starting midfi elders are, from left to right, Winters, Hetrick, Barney and Ally Croy with Eriel Davis, Tessa Tyburski, Brittany Watkins and Addie Barton backing them up. And the starting forwards, who are Alexa Weis and Velliquette, are some-times spelled by the likes of Nikki Weis, Miki Blunt, Mackenzie Auger and Emily Kamann, some of whom have also seen ac-tion at midfi eld.

Despite having a loaded freshman class, the Rockets had to replace a number of key players like Amber Burnette and Makayla Carpenter, their top two scorers last year, and Jordan Giesler, Sidney Allen, Sydney Street, Kelsey Lacer and Erin Bryant — fi ve of whom were starters last season.

Goldstein credits her three seniors, Hetrick, Hess and Nikki Weis, all captains, with maintaining a focus on their goals.

“I think (the seniors) have stuck togeth-er and supported each other,” Goldstein said. “They make it evident that they want to fi nish this year strong and they aren’t go-ing to sit back. They aren’t letting anybody slack.”

Nothing’s too big for Jordan Kovacs, not even the NFL

Miami Dolphins

By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]

Miami is a long way from Oregon, and it’s even farther from Ann Arbor, Mich.

Kovacs, a Clay grad who went on to become an All-Big Ten safety at the Univer-sity of Michigan, is now living his dream with the Miami Dolphins.

This week marked his fi fth week on the Dolphins’ 53-man roster.

“It’s exciting,” Kovacs said. “I’ve ap-proached (playing in the NFL) one step at a time. I just want to enjoy it. It’s really cool.”

Kovacs, 23, has come a long way from playing in the Big House to playing in the Big Time. The former walk-on was the Bo Schembechler MVP Award winner and a second-team All-Big Ten selection follow-ing the 2012 season at UM.

The 5-foot-10, 205-pound Kovacs went undrafted in the NFL draft last spring but was later chosen as one of the Dolphins’ 16 rookie free agents. He began this season on the Dolphins’ practice squad and fi nally got “bumped up” to the active roster the week of Miami’s home game against the Balti-more Ravens on Oct. 6.

“More than anything I just missed play-ing on Sundays,” Kovacs said. “I missed playing in any competitive environment. Baltimore was my fi rst game and I played on all of our special teams. We go four deep (on the roster) at safety. We have two start-ers and one guy who would roll in if any-thing would happen at safety. Then, I’m next in line.”

Kovacs has been credited with one tackle (solo) this season, against Baltimore on the Dolphins’ kickoff coverage. He was on the fi eld with three different special teams units last Sunday in the Dolphins’ 27-17 loss at New England. Miami, which won its fi rst three games, fell to 3-4 with its fourth straight loss heading into Thursday night’s game against the Bengals.

Kovacs said he took his opportunity to make the Dolphins’ roster one day at a time.

“Every day you saw new faces, and you didn’t know when your last day was going

to be,” he said. “You just take it week by week and day by day. They started (training camp) with 90 guys. They had to whittle those guys down to 53 active guys, and eight more on the practice squad.”

The Dolphins placed Kovacs on their practice squad, and he then cleared waiv-ers. Around that time, he tweaked a previ-ous hamstring injury in a preseason game against Houston.

“Finally, it healed up and in week fi ve I was called up and made my NFL de-but,” Kovacs said. “I was on all four spe-cial teams. I was the right wing on the punt team, on kickoff I was a contain player, on kickoff return I was the left tackle and punt return I was the rusher.”

On his fi rst NFL play, a Miami punt, Kovacs found himself lined up opposite the Ravens’ Courtney Upshaw, a 6-2, 272-

pound second-year linebacker from Ala-bama.

“The fi rst thing that went through my head was, who do I have to block,” Kovacs recalled. “This guy was wearing No. 91 and it was Courtney Upshaw, who weighs probably 280. I was like, ‘you have to be kidding me.’ He ran at me as hard as he could. I knew it would be tough getting off his block. That was my rookie moment, my ‘welcome to the NFL’ moment.”

Kovacs played on three different spe-cial teams units last week against the Pa-triots, so he got to watch quarterback Tom Brady up close. He said its “pretty surreal” facing NFL players he grew up watching on TV.

“We played Brady pretty tough,” Ko-vacs said. “When we played in New Or-leans, we played Drew Bees and what was really eye-opening was how slim the mar-gin of error is when you play against a quar-terback of that caliber. Our defensive backs looked like they were in perfect coverage, and he was putting it where only his guy could catch it. It’s a unique experience to see that fi rst hand from the sideline.”

Kovacs said playing in the NFL has been an eye-opening experience.

“Every player on that fi eld is just a su-per athlete,” he said. “They were the studs at their respective colleges. You watch TV and see them and you say, ‘I can do that.’ No, you can’t. Could Alabama or the best team in college football beat, say Jackson-ville? Not a chance. It’s just a whole other ballgame. I’m blocking guys I’ve never heard of, and they’re unreal athletes.”

Kovacs said it appears one of the best ways to stay in Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin’s good graces is to make himself as versatile as possible.

“I’ve realized that very few guys aren’t expendable,” Kovacs said. “The best way to make yourself more secure in the NFL, which is what we all want, is to play safety, special teams … You have to be able to do it all, so when it comes to the chopping board they can’t say, ‘We can get rid of this guy.’ I feel very comfortable. I’m a competitor. I expected to be able to compete with these guys.”

The only thing Carol Rozek is inter-ested in on Friday nights is watching her two sons, Tyler and Kyle, play football at Genoa.

Rozek, however, has multiple sclerosis and is bound to a wheelchair, and prior to this season she had to use binoculars to see her two boys in action on the football fi eld.

“With binoculars I can only focus on one or two people,” Carol said. “I have one kid on one end of the fi eld and another kid on another end of the fi eld. Sometimes I miss things with binoculars.”

Tom Baker, the technical coordinator at Genoa, and Comets coach Tim Spiess solved that dilemma for Carol Rozek. The Comets this season have mounted an end zone camera on top of a 30-foot, four-legged device called a Sport Scope and are able to shoot live video of the game and transmit it locally via a WiFi network.

“The Ohio High School Athletic As-sociation changed the way coaches are al-lowed to use video during the course of the game,” Spiess said. “Beginning this year, coaches are now allowed to have running video on their sidelines during the course of a game. It has been a welcome change to the rules which govern high school foot-ball. We purchased a new end zone camera as well as some Tablets to be used by our coaches during the course of the game.”

Genoa’s camera is mounted on the Sport Scope in the end zone, and camera-man Zeke Herrera, a Genoa sophomore, takes care of the rest. Herrera stands on the ground and monitors the camera angles on a computer screen. He controls the camera using a joystick.

“Coach Spiess approached me at the beginning of the year and said, ‘This is a new rule where we can watch the feed on the sideline. Make it happen,’ ” Baker said. “We broadcast the signal from the camera wirelessly. It’s not on the Internet. It’s only broadcast in the stadium. It’s strictly a pri-vate network we set up for Genoa’s use.

Anyone with the credential to connect to the wireless router has the ability to con-nect to the website that has the streaming video.

“Mrs. Rozek has a Kindle device. I con-nected it to the network and then they just use a web browser to view the streaming video. It’s live as the game is going on. This

gives (the coaches) a different angle to view the game, from the end zone. The end zone gives them a better idea where the offense and defense are lining up.”

Spiess said Baker has been “an invalu-able asset in this process.” The third-ranked Comets (9-0) end the regular season Friday night at home against Woodmore.

“Tom’s knowledge in this fi eld has giv-en us a great advantage on Friday nights,” Spiess said. “Randy Rozek approached us about the needs of his wife, so we made this same tool available to Carol so she can follow her sons a little closer.”

Genoa uses the camera and wireless feed at home and away games. Carol Rozek, who uses a Kindle device to watch the game, is grateful.

“I really like it,” she said, “because I can see the whole fi eld instead of just one or two people, like when we’re passing or my son makes a tackle.”

Randy Rozek, Carol’s husband, said the family is already planning to upgrade for next season, when Kyle is a senior. Tyler is a senior this year.

“I think we need to upgrade,” Randy said. “Carol’s using a Kindle Fire, and I think if we have an iPad it would work much better. The technology on the iPad would process it much quicker. She can watch the game much better than before. The quality of the picture is really clear.

“There are other people who could probably use the same technology we’re using,” he added. “They just don’t know about it yet. Carol can see the players’ num-bers now, whereas with the binoculars it’s diffi cult to focus on the fast-paced game. This is a step forward for helping people see the game. It is defi nitely an improve-ment for people in her condition.”

Just three weeks after leading the East-wood girls’ cross-country team to its third consecutive league title, Hannah Sponaugle and Maddie Jackson headed to the Division II state cross country meet in Columbus.

Sponaugle, a freshman, ran a 19:25 to fi nish seventh at the regional meet and Jackson, a senior, ran a 19:32 to come in 10th, leading the team to a seventh-place fi nish.

The week before, Sponaugle and Jack-son fi nished fi rst and second, respectively, in 19:47 and 20:01, leading the Eagles to a district title. Meagan Kaminski (fourth in 20:15), Ashley Madaras (17th in 21:21) and Lexi Clark (27th in 21:59) rounded out the top fi ve with Emily Zielinski and Jenna Sel-horst also running.

Joining them in Columbus was junior Tim Hoodlebrink, a fi rst-year runner who decided to take on cross country to prepare him for track season. Hoodlebrink advanced to the state meet by just over one second, beating out Van Wert’s Connor Shaffer by a time of 16:46.08 to 16:47.13 to claim 16th place, the fi nal qualifying spot.

Two other area runners, Tyler Sievert of Oak Harbor, who was 14th in 16:36.40, and Tyler Rickman of Lake, who was 11th in 16:33.04, joined Hoodlebrink in Columbus. Lake Seniors Scott Brittenham and Rick-man both participated in the regional meet at Hedges-Boyer Park in Tiffi n. Both of Lake coach Ken Mysinger’s runners raced in the regional race the past three years.

For Eastwood, getting three to Colum-bus is another notch for a program already a perennial champion.

“They started early in the summer to prepare, they spent time in the weight room with the summer miles and then the season started and they bought into our program, what we needed to do, and continued to put the miles in, put the speed work in, and everything came together,” Eastwood coach Stephanie Schneider-Sims said.

Eastwood boys and girls teams, said Hood-lebrink had a brilliant fi nish that saw him pass three runners at the very end of the 5-kilometer race. “We knew going in that if Tim ran what he was capable of running, he could make it to state,” Schneider-Sims said. “With about 1,000 meters to go we told him he was in 19th place. He passed one person and he passed two guys right before the (fi nish) line. He went into the shoot so fast that if anybody had been standing there, I’m afraid he would’ve taken somebody out. It’s one of the most amazing fi nishes I’ve seen.”

Hoodlebrink said, “At the end, she (Schneider-Sims) was screaming at me. I ran next to (a teammate) during the fi rst

two miles, which helped.”Jackson fi nished 38th at the state meet

last year and will graduate as one of the most decorated runners in school history. She stressed that hours of hard work re-sulted in her and Sponaugle’s performance, adding that she put in a lot more miles dur-ing the offseason.

“I run every day in the summer and we’re in the weight room a lot,” Jackson said. “The difference between this sum-mer and last summer is that Hannah is run-ning with me. Having Hannah here really helped me. She runs the mile at a little bit of a faster pace and it helped me improve my time.

“I’ve been the No. 1 runner through-

out high school and I’ve had a lot of drive, thinking ‘Don’t let her beat you.’ Even though Hannah did beat me, I was happy about it. In the back of my mind, I am al-ways trying to compete with her and she’s done the same.”

Sponaugle added, “I did way better than I thought I would this year,” adding that she ran through middle school and also increased her mileage this year.

Schneider-Sims says Jackson had ex-pectations of making a return trip to state, which weighed heavily on her.

“When she puts her mind to some-thing, it’s kind of hard to stop her,” Sch-neider-Sims said. “She put her mind to it, and even though she didn’t have the league meet that she wanted, she knew she had to focus on the next two weeks and she did. I knew going into Saturday (regional) how determined she was.”

Jackson says Schneider-Sims, previous coach Richard Morgan, and other Eastwood coaches always do well in preparing the runners for big meets. For 15 years, East-wood has consistently placed among the best track and fi eld and cross country pro-grams in Northwest Ohio.

“Besides the workouts, the coaches have a desire to help us get better,” Jackson said. “We’ll do speed workouts on certain days of the week and then we do a long run on one of the days and a shorter run with some tempo.”

If nothing else, Jackson was hoping for an impressive fi nish to her cross country career.

“I placed 38th last year and I would love to do better than that. I would be ec-static to get top 25 and earn All-Ohio status. That’s a goal, I’ve been running my fastest times this year and I’d be really happy if I could take a second or two off my time.”

Schneider-Sims notes that the commu-nity has been very supportive of her ath-letes.

“The reception has been great,” she said. “I’ve gotten a lot of support and we do have a Facebook cross country page and the reception there has been great.”

Express soccer ranked 19th in national tourneyBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

The Owens Community College women’s soccer team entered the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) D-I poll at No. 19.

It is the fi rst time the team has been ranked this season despite a program record 13-game winning streak, which included a 2-1 double overtime victory over current No. 15 Schoolcraft College along the way.

During their 13-game winning streak, the Express has outscored opponents 59-9. Additionally, they have allowed one goal or less in 12 of those matches (11 straight) and pitched fi ve shutouts over that period.

Local sophomores include defender Tara Preble (Lake), forward/midfi elders Taylor Avers (Woodmore) and Jessica Grindle (Northwood), defender Marissa Ramirez (Northwood), midfi elder/defender Samantha Starkey (Eastwood), and midfi elder Kelly Zurvalec (Oak Harbor).

Local freshmen include midfi elder Abby Groll (Clay), forward/midfi elder Kendyl Christian (Clay), midfi elder/goalkeeper Megan Soncrant (Clay), and forward Amber Burnette (Oak Harbor). Third-year head coach Mary Whisler is assisted by second-year coach Caitlyn Theaker and fi rst-year coach Stacey Lucas. Janeen Ramirez is in her fi rst season as the team’s athletic trainer.

The Express, who are currently 15-2 overall, entered this past weekend’s Region XII tournament as the No. 2 seed behind Schoolcraft College. They opened up play in the four-team tournament against No. 3 seed Delta College on Saturday with the championship Sunday.

The winner advances to the 12-team NJCAA D-I National Championship tournament in Melbourne, Fla. Nov. 18-23.

With the addition of the women’s soccer team being ranked, the Express athletic department currently has four teams ranked in the nation’s top 20. The others are men’s golf (No. 1 at the NJCAA D-II level), women’s basketball (No. 9 at the NJCAA D-II level) and men’s basketball (No. 8 at the NJCAA D-II level).

Howard national candidateFlorida State senior forward Natasha

Howard (Waite) has been named one of just 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award, announced on Wednesday by the annual award’s voting committee.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

Candidates selected have made a strong impact in the four C’s - community, classroom, character and competition. Howard has been a visible presence on the court heading into her fi nal year as a ‘Nole. As an All-America contender this upcoming season, she is one of just 10 Seminoles ever to score 1,000 points and grab 700 rebounds in her career.

The versatile performer is also on track toward breaking the school record for career double-doubles, sitting just six away with 26 in her fi rst three seasons. Howard is a three-time all-conference player who earned fi rst-team accolades last season averaging 12.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

Howard was named the sole captain of the 2013-14 FSU women’s basketball team by head coach Sue Semrau, exemplifying how far her leadership principles have come. \

The Social Sciences major has proven to be a leader by example and has thrived in the maturation process that began in her freshman season in 2010-11 and has culminated to her current reign as team captain.

State Rep comes to East Toledo to talk “Obamacare” State Representative Barbara Sears will come to East Toledo later this month to talk about the Affordable Care Act and Ohio’s plans to administer it. Rep. Sears will speak at the East To-ledo Senior Center, 1001 White St., Thurs., Nov. 21 at 12:30 p.m. The talk is sponsored by the East Toledo Club. Rep. Sears, a Republican, has acted against her party’s wishes and backed Governor John Kasich’s attempt to expand Medicaid to coincide with the Affordable Care Act. She introduced legislation to im-plement Medicaid reforms that will iden-tify ways to lower costs, reduce uncompen-sated care, and extend coverage to Ohio’s most vulnerable citizens. Rep. Sears in a press release stated the legislation would extend coverage to Ohio-ans under 138 percent of the federal pover-ty level and will provide critical health care services to Ohio’s poorest citizens. New en-rollees in the Medicaid program would be fully funded by the federal government for the fi rst three years. The bill provides pro-tections for Ohio should the federal assis-tance percentage decrease below the speci-fi ed amount after the third year. Additional provisions include encour-aging personal responsibility through cost sharing, promoting employment-related services, and ensuring those who abuse narcotics receive proper treatment. “Ohio’s Medicaid system has made substantial improvements over the past few years and this legislation furthers that ef-fort,” she stated. “By providing a ladder up and out of poverty through quality care, we are allowing for citizens to achieve greater self suffi ciency and creating a healthier Ohio.” Rep. Sears is currently serving her third term. She represents the 47th House District, which includes parts of Lucas and Fulton counties.

nspirational essage of the eek: Have CourageAt one time or another, we all have been in situations thatrequire us to muster up courage and face our fears.Simply stated, courage is rising above our fears andtaking charge of our lives during difficult times. Firemenwho must enter a burning building to save someone, orpolice officers who confront known criminals areexamples of people who possess a special type of braveryand courage. And although most of us will never have toenter a burning building or confront known criminals, justdoing and saying what is right in our daily lives also often

requires courage. Trying to correct an injustice, asking forsomeone's forgiveness, and even expressing ourappreciation to someone may also require courage. TheLord wants us to be courageous and to have peace in ourhearts as we face our daily responsibilities. And we shouldbe comforted, because He told us that He would neverleave us or forsake us, and He is always with us, bothduring our trials and our joys. Be watchful, stand firm in

your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be

done in love. R.S.V. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
