Bill to help seriously ill moves ahead By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Steve Arndt can still remember encouraging the concept of palliative care be adopted at the Riverview Nursing Home in Oak Harbor when he was an Ottawa County commissioner. “I’ve seen the difference it makes in an individual’s life,” he said. “It was one of those things that helped change the whole culture within Riverview Nursing Home.” As chairman of the Aging and Long Term Care Committee in the Ohio House of Representatives, Arndt, R – Port Clinton, co-sponsored House Bill 286, which establishes a Palliative Care and Quality of Life Interdisciplinary Council to advise the Ohio Department of Health on matters related to palliative care initiatives. Palliative care is defined as specialized medical care for people with serious illness that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. “As opposed to hospice care, which is typically something you incorporate near the very end of life situations, palliative care often forms a team around the individual and helping him or her understand what their options are. It involves laying out a plan in how you’re going to address

For my dad, it was about scheduling his treatments around taking that one last family vacation...

“

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency set a record in providing funding to communities with nearly $1 billion invested to improve water quality in 2017. More than $111 million was invested in 41 Northwest Ohio projects. The agency is expected to provide more - $1.7 billion – in 2018. The Ohio EPA issued more than $936 million this year to finance projects that upgraded drinking water infrastructure and improved the quality of Ohio’s lakes, rivers and streams — more than ever before in the 28-year history of the state’s revolving loan programs. All Ohio EPA loans are provided to communities at below market rates, and 2017 resulted in a combined savings of more than $150 million for Ohio communities. “It’s important for Ohioans to know that Ohio EPA is helping communities and business with compliance, technical and financial assistance,” Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler said. “We were able to make this nearly billion dollar investment in water quality improvements because these funds are carefully managed, and we are meeting frequently with county commissioners and mayors to understand their community needs and build positive working relationships between state and local governments.”

your critical illness,” Arndt said. “It’s about having the quality of life you want and what’s important to you.” HB 286 passed recently in the House by a vote of 91 - 0 and is now before the Senate Health, Human Services and Medicaid Committee. Arndt credits the work of Rep. Sarah LaTourette, R - Chesterland, a member of his committee and the bill’s primary sponsor, for the broad support it’s received, saying she sought extensive input from health care professionals and others while the bill was being crafted. For LaTourette, the bill has special meaning. “I spent two years seeing firsthand the

dramatic impact access to palliative care had on my dad and my entire family. For my dad, it was about scheduling his treatments around taking that one last family vacation or being able to make the trip to Columbus to see me sworn in,” she said when the bill passed the House. The bill requires specified health care facilities to establish a system for identifying patients or residents who could benefit from palliative care and to facilitate access to palliative care for individuals with a serious illness. It also authorizes a licensed hospice care program operating an inpatient hospice care facility or unit to provide palliative care to a patient other than a hospice patient. The Ohio Council of the Alzheimer’s Association provided written testimony in support of the bill. According to the association, nursing home residents with dementia who receive palliative care at the end of life, compared to those who don’t receive such care, are up to 15 times less likely to die in a hospital and nearly 2 ½ times less likely to have a hospitalization in the last 30 days of life. They’re also less likely to have an emergency room visit in the last week of life. The Council on Older Persons, a standing committee of the Center for Community Solutions that advocates for the needs of older adults in Cuyahoga County, also provided testimony in support of the bill.

Student credit union opens On Dec. 6, Sun Federal Credit Union and Clay High School celebrated the grand opening of the first student-run credit union in Northwest Ohio. Several school and city officials attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the school, located at 5665 Seaman Rd, Oregon. Sun Federal Credit Union and Clay High School have partnered to create an ongoing, real-time, branch for the Oregon City Schools community. The partnership allows students to learn and grow in financial literacy, equipping them to achieve economic goals. The branch, staffed by volunteer student leaders, is the first of its kind to open in Northwest Ohio and offers hands-on experience running a cooperative credit union branch. The student run credit union offers financial services to students, administrators and community members of the Oregon City School District. In commitment to the partnership, Sun Federal Credit Union

made a contribution to the Oregon Schools Foundation at the grand opening. “Our student mission of ‘People Caring About People’ inspires us to provide financial literacy for our future leaders to help them reach their life goals,” said Gary Moritz, president/CEO of Sun Federal Credit Union. “Learning financial principles and disciplines early on, provides financial freedom which leads to a happier and more productive lifestyle. Clay High School has partnered with us on this endeavor and their students are drivers of this mission.” “OCS is committed to providing our students truly unique educational experiences,” said Hal Gregory, district superintendent. “The partnership with Sun Federal and the new Clay HS/Sun Federal student-led credit union is a shining example of what a not-for-profit, financial cooperative and education can do to support the relevant learning needs of today’s students.”

$36 million was provided at zero percent interest (meaning borrowers are not required to repay the loans); •The distribution of $13 million across 51 counties for home sewage treatment system (septic) replacement and upgrades; •The issuance of 17 loans for large projects of $10 million or greater including combined sewer overflow projects in Lucas County, as well as in the counties of Cuyahoga, Hamilton, Franklin, Lorain and Summit along with large wastewater treatment plant improvements in Miami and Henry counties; • Projects to separate Combined Sewer Overflows in the Lake Erie watershed received $258 million. Some of the local projects that received funding from the Ohio EPA include a $5.5 million award to the City of Toledo for a downtown storage basin to correct Combined Sewer Overflow discharges. The city received a $13 million discount for the project. Also, the Wood County Health District received $75,000 for home sewage treatment replacement and upgrades. Noteworthy in 2018 Scheduled for 2018:

•The Ohio EPA is making $50 million available at 0% interest rate for regionalization projects; •In response to harmful algal blooms (HABs) and their potential effect on drinking water systems, Ohio EPA made $100 million available at 0% interest in 2015, 2016 and 2017 for equipment to reduce phosphorus and other nutrients. In 2018, Ohio EPA is offering $50 million at a 0% interest rate for these types of projects; •Changes in the Clean Water Act required Ohio EPA to develop and use “affordability criteria,” as a primary determiner in the distribution of principal forgiveness. The maximum amount of principal forgiveness that Ohio is permitted to offer in 2018 is approximately $29.8 million. Approximately $13.3 million will be reserved for replacement or repair of failing home sewage treatment systems (HSTS) or for connecting abandoned HSTS to existing sewers. Up to $500,000 will be set aside to fund energy efficiency upgrades (i.e., efficient pumps, variable frequency drives, etc.) and up to $500,000 to fund backup power facilities.

Lock-It-Up invests $1 million to update By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

Memorandum signed A memorandum of agreement between the Wood County Port Authority and several historic organizations calls for a review to be completed before the demolition of the Swing Bridge crossing the Maumee River can begin. The port authority is proposing the bridge be demolished due to its deteriorating condition. The bridge was previously owned by CSX and is located about 150 feet downriver from the Ohio Turnpike. Because the span is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the memorandum agreement, which was signed Sept. 7, calls for a commemorative plaque and parts of the bridge be made available for use along the Chessie Circle Trail The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, Ohio Department of Transportation, Maumee Valley Heritage Corridor and Historicbridgefoundation.com also signed the agreement.

...anticipate there may be some growth to where we will need some more units...

“

Lock-It-Up self storage in Oregon has added two new buildings totaling 24,000 square feet and 140 units at its new office at 3306 Dustin Road. The total investment in the expansion was $1 million, according to Stacey Irwin, director of the facility. “I’m very pleased with the appearance of the new site,” she said. “We put some stone work on the front of our new office. We have an iron black decorative access gate. The building is very professional and the landscaping and fencing are top notch, which I feel adds a very nice presence to area businesses.” Lock-It-Up is a division of Tolson Enterprises. Founded in 1991 by Harvey Tolson, Tolson Enterprises is a Toledo based real estate, investment, development and management company with over 40 employees. Its property holdings include office, industrial, and commercial retail properties as well as the self-storage division trading under the brand name Lock-ItUp. “We own 16 self-storage properties in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan,” said Irwin. The plan to expand was driven by the desire to update the facility, she said. “We were really landlocked where we were,” she said of the old office at 3316 Dustin Road. “I wouldn’t say demand has increased a lot. We actually built because we have a slight demand, but we really like that area. We anticipate there may be some growth to where we will need some

and it’s very convenient,” said Irwin. Irwin said customers lease the storage for an average of two years, according to national studies. “The industry is different. We did some studies on our own, and it’s two years. But the industry states it’s anywhere from 15-18 months nationwide. Our customers tend to stay a little bit longer. I’ve been working for 16 years now, and there are some customers who are still with us that were here when I started. It ranges from one to two months, all the way to many years.”

more units. We just wanted an opportunity to update. The old office was tired and we wanted something that fit our image better, and would better serve our customers,” she said. Temporary space Customers who use the storage facility are usually in need of temporary space while their lives are in transition, though sometimes a unit is leased for years, she said. “Our customers range from college students to people who live in apartments and need to store seasonal items to people who are downsizing, maybe retiring. But they all want to get rid of their things. There are people who are going into assisted living or a nursing home who need to store their things. Sometimes when there’s a death in the family, their items go into storage. Divorce also brings us a lot of customers. Then a lot of our customers are simply moving from one place to the next. Once they use the unit, they find it’s pretty addicting

Rates Rates are different for each storage facility, she said. “It depends really on the area and the demand,” she said. “There’s lots of different factors.” Generally, rates range from $30 per month for a small five foot by five foot space up to $200 per month for a large 10 foot by 40 foot unit. “We can even go larger than that and customize it for commercial customers,” she said. “The biggest space is used sometimes by businesses, and we also have people who like to store their cars, especially in the wintertime. They might put their car on one side of the unit, and put household items on the other side.” Irwin said plans call for a grand opening of the expanded facility, though a date has not yet been decided. “We are excited to be expanding in this community and are looking forward to the changes that the city has in store for our neighborhood, and we are anticipating becoming actively involved in area events,” she said.

Soil sorter housing installed at Brush By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Clean-up work at the former Brush Beryllium site near the Village of Luckey will resume Jan. 2 after a break for the holidays. Contractor crews have been pouring concrete for several pads that are needed and assembly of the structure that will house a soil sorter is complete, said Arleen Kreusch, outreach program specialist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps has contracted with Portage, Inc., a company based in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to be the prime contractor for the clean-up project. The site is a former beryllium produc-

tion facility the Atomic Energy Commission operated in the 1950s as part of the national defense program. The Corps has identified soils contaminated with beryllium, lead, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234 and uranium-238 for removal. Kreusch said a pugmill, a device that will break up the soil before it goes through the sorter, was delivered to the site in midDecember and components of the sorter began arriving in the past two weeks. Parts for a wastewater treatment facility are scheduled to arrive in early January, she said. The Corps announced in a November update of the project that contaminated soils from the site won’t be disposed at the

Evergreen landfill in Northwood. The Evergreen facility was one of two disposal sites the Corps had been considering for disposal as soils and other contaminated materials are removed during the project; the other site, the U.S. Ecology Wayne Disposal Facility, Belleville, Mich., received approval from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to receive soils. Kreusch said some soil and materials have already been transported to the Michigan facility. The initial stages of the clean-up have focused on lagoons along the site’s southern boundary along Gilbert Road. From there, crews will work on trenches north of the lagoons.

Swims are open to B-C-S students, families and community members Sundays in January, February and March from 2-4 p.m. Racquetball courts will also be open to adults during these times. Pool admission is $2 for adults and $1 for B-C-S students. Racquetball courts will be open to adults only for an additional charge of $2 (limit four per court). A lifeguard and site director will be on site to ensure safety. Sunday Fun will be cancelled if Ottawa County is on a Level Two or Level Three Emergency as announced by the Ottawa County Sheriff.

The power of kindness can turn nasty situations around Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

Being kind is not synonymous with being taken advantage of. You can be kind while being assertive and not allowing others to walk all over you.

“

The world can be a tough place. Circumstances are not always fair. People are not always nice. There are more mean, rude, and inconsiderate people than there should be. How should you respond when confronted by one of these individuals? Should you respond in the same manner you are treated, or is there a better approach? Being mean and nasty in the face of mistreatment seems to be an automatic reaction. We are used to responding in kind. We mirror the treatment we are receiving. When someone yells at you, you yell back. When you are treated rudely, you are rude in return. This negative approach doesn’t improve the interaction, and often makes it worse. You’ve experienced this effect whenever you have gotten caught up in a shouting match. Since engaging someone at a negative level doesn’t produce positive results, what tact should you take instead? Tapping into the power of kindness is a strategy which often leads to surprisingly positive results. Even in situations where you feel there are no additional options, using kindness has the potential to turn circumstances around. Kindness doesn’t work 100 percent of the time because there are those individuals who are so nasty that nothing works. However, kindness is effective in a major-

ity of situations. Being kind is not synonymous with being taken advantage of. You can be kind while being assertive and not allowing others to walk all over you. You may encounter some individuals who don’t seem to deserve kindness.

Kindness is utilized because it works to your benefit, not just because someone else deserves it. Lowering yourself to someone else’s level never works in your best interest. Becoming mean, insulting, rude, and disrespectful will alienate both good and bad people. You will attract problems and adverse situations. Nothing will be improved while most circumstances will worsen. You can use the power of kindness in dealing with anyone you encounter. Kindness provides you with a positive edge without any negative side effects. Even if kindness doesn’t work as well as you had hoped, you’ve lost nothing and haven’t said or done anything you might later regret. Kindness consists of courtesy, respect, and thoughtfulness. It often catches mean people by surprise because they are used to people treating them poorly. They expect you to react in kind to their offensive behavior. Because your kindness breaks the pattern of what mean people expect, they aren’t sure of how to react. This provides you with an opening to lead the interaction in a more positive direction. This is done with questions rather than by making statements. Well thought out questions are non-

confrontational. Questions invite participation. They can be structured to find out what someone wants, needs, likes, dislikes, or objects to. Questions can be used to clarify your understanding along with what you want, need, or desire. You are more effective in your application of kindness when you have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish. Although many different outcomes are achievable, one thing you can’t change is someone else. In your interaction with mean people, use please and thank you. Be a good listener. They want to engage you in an argument. Fight any temptation to be drawn into a confrontation. Instead of taking the bait, respond with kindness. It may be hard to do at first, but kindness is well worth the effort. If you are upset, take time to cool down and objectively assess your situation. Always think before you speak or act. Avoid any behavior which does not have a chance of improving your situation. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

Tips should go to the servers, not their bosses or company By Negin Owliaei Thea Bryan is a single mother putting herself through graduate school. She spends her days at an unpaid internship for her social work program. At nights, she bartends for tips. Sometimes, the pay is lucrative. But around October, her work — and money — started to lag. “When business is slow, as it has been for me lately, I don’t get paid. The managers get paid, the kitchen staff gets paid, the dishwasher gets paid. I don’t,” Bryan said. The Department of Labor could make things much worse for Bryan. Under a proposed new rule, she might have to hand her tips over to her bosses. The new rule would let minimum wage employers take over the tips that customers leave for their servers. That’s right: If you serve, your boss would get your tips. Bryan shared her story at a press briefing put on by Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United on December 12. “Why is there such an effort to keep people from making decent wages?” Bryan asked. “First they don’t want to pay a decent hourly wage if you get tips. Now they want to take your tips if you make a decent hourly wage!” The National Restaurant Association, also known as “the other NRA,” frames the proposed rule as a way to allow for tip pooling, to end pay disparities between the front and back of the house. But ROC United and other groups point out that there’s no provision to ensure that tips stay in the hands of workers and not their bosses. In fact, the language in proposal suggests that employers could allocate tips to

Guest Editorial make capital improvements or lower menu prices — or they could just pocket the tips themselves. That transfer of money from workers up to their bosses is no small change. If the rule is enacted, the Economic Policy Institute says that employers would take $5.8 billion in tips from workers, an estimate they call conservative. The restaurant industry is already rife with wage theft. Employers of tipped workers are among the worst offenders in minimum wage violations, especially due to the subminimum tipped wage. Employers can pay tipped workers as little as $2.13 an hour as long as their tips bring them up to the full minimum wage. But enforcement is lax. Bryan says she’s gone two weeks without getting paid a minimum wage, and hasn’t been able to get her employer to make up the difference. Some employers already steal tips, as ROC United co-director Saru Jayaraman pointed out. ROC United has surveyed nearly 10,000 restaurant workers, Jayaraman said, and one in five reported that employers have taken a portion of their tips, even though that’s currently not legal. The Department of Labor is already feeling the pressure. Jayaraman said tens of thousands of people submitted comments against the rule in the first three days alone.

The battle over tips is only adding to Bryan’s stress over wages. “My son is 11 years old,” she said. “I would like to know how much money I will be making any given month so I can enroll him in after school activities and maybe take him to the movies every once in a while, or pay my rent.” That’s why Bryan’s not limiting her advocacy to the fight over owning tips. She says she’d like to see all people in the ser-

There are a ton of people doing restaurant and food reviews out there. They are not very good.

“

So, you think you are funny? So did Corey Wagner, of Toledo. The young man decided early on that a life of comedy was for him. He also decided to not take the easy way to his dream path. Wagner, who grew up in West Toledo, was going to go to a Catholic school. He did not want an all-boys school, and a friend of his was going to go to Cardinal Stritch. Therefore, he hitched a ride across the river for all four years. “My mom said I could go, but I had to find a ride, so I did,” Wagner said. “So, that is how it was, really. I wanted to get to Chicago as well, but I came up with a plan for that. My whole family is really funny, and I was pretty funny. I have wanted to do comedy since high school and Chicago is the place to be when you are from the west.” Wagner graduated from Stritch in 2005 and decided to go into the military to serve for a bit, and for the GI Bill. He joined the U.S. Air Force as a Computer, Network, Switching, and Crypto Graphic Technician. “I spent a year in San Antonio for boot camp, then I was sent to Germany,” he said. “I was in Qatar for four months and then Idaho after that. After four years, I decided to go to college. I needed to get a degree so I could have a back-up job in Chicago if I needed it.” Wagner came back to Northwest Ohio and enrolled in the University of Toledo, where he got his degree in electrical engineering in 2014. He was then ready to move to Chicago. “I pretty much left right after graduation,” he said. “I took some classes at The Second City. One year later, I went to Second City’s Conservatory Program. That is where I met Sean. For his part, Sean Ely, Wagner’s partner in comedy, did not take a straight line to working in comedy either. Ely grew up in Redford, Michigan, just outside of Detroit. He went to Detroit Central Catholic, which was in Redford, across the street from his home. Ely earned his degree in journalism from Michigan State University in 2009. “I went to work at The Oklahoman, in Oklahoma City, for a four-month internship,” Ely said. “I always wanted to tell a story and I wanted to write sports. I ended up covering small town city council, school board and courts. I came back home four months later.” Ely worked at the Owosso Argus-Press in Michigan, learning how to edit video for the newspaper. He finally made his way to Chicago. He was working as a video editor for RedEye Chicago, a subsidiary of the Chicago Tribune. “There were a lot of layoffs in the newspaper industry,” he said. “I left in 2015 to start my own video marketing company and to do social marketing for clients. I also met Corey.”

Ely and Wagner loved doing skits together at Second City and decided to make videos together. “We wanted to make videos and we loved performing together,” Ely said. “There are a ton of people doing restaurant and food reviews out there. They are not very good. We wanted to make them funny, and I love to do video, so it was a match.” “I thought it was the stupidest idea ever,” Wagner chimed in. “I really just started doing this because Sean wanted to do it. I never thought it would grow like it has. We have made it a comedy and people seem to really love it.” The two now have their own webbased comedy program, Number Six With Cheese. “Corey and I came up with a list of names for the show,” Ely said. “We decided to play FIFA on Xbox to see whose name would win. Corey won, and one and a half years later, here we are. Number Six With Cheese has gained a following both on Facebook and on their YouTube Channel. The duo did a few shows in Detroit and Toledo a few months ago. The two reviewed Cake in a Cup and Barry Bagels, and did a comparison of Tony Packo’s and Rudy’s Coney Dogs, and Sylvania’s J&G Pizza vs Pizza Cat, an upstart in West Toledo. “The Packo’s video had 25,000 views in one day,” Wagner said. “A lot of Toledo companies watch our show and invite us to

It has been a lot of fun.” Although Wagner currently works at the front desk of a gym to make ends meet, the two have garnered sponsorships for their series from Second City. Fans of the show as well as companies have also sent packages of food for the two to review. “We are working with several companies right now,” Wagner said. “We have signed a holding agreement with one company and another company wants us to do some digital stuff. There is also a possibility of doing something for television.” So, is there a food that almost had

them quit the show altogether? Ely said he is not a food snob and will basically try anything. For Wagner, there is still one food that freaked him out. “The Sushi Burrito,” Wagner said. “It is my mortal enemy. It was so gross – and I like sushi.” Number Six with Cheese will open an ecommerce store in the next few weeks. They currently do new reviews Monday through Friday. They are also hoping to just work on the show, and nothing else. The show is available on Facebook and YouTube.

Get away to northern Michigan, where holidays are ‘big’ A rowboat with no one aboard bobbing at anchor well offshore in Glen Lake isn’t much of an attention-grabber, though this one demanded a second look. That second look confirmed that this small craft tossing in the waves, partially obscured by a thick curtain of snow, had special cargo. A small Christmas tree stood as properly amidship as any in the homes onshore. Welcome to Christmastime in northern Michigan, where carolers still go door-todoor, Christmas Days are white, and the Christmas spirit is everywhere. Revelers fill the giant gaily decorated lobby at Grand Traverse Resort, while parents and children are transported to the top of the tower – 16 stories – where children pour out their fondest wishes to Santa. In the city, there’s a festive feel as the home of Traverse City’s benevolent founder, Perry Hannah, is opened for Saturdayevening tours, while just a block away, hundreds arrive to enjoy the city’s Symphony Orchestra’s annual Christmas concert, which included audience accompaniment. Outside, over a foot of snow has made Traverse City and the surrounding dunes and forests a classic winter wonderland, so white and beautiful that parents are entirely believable as they tell their children Santa’s workshop isn’t far away. For the record that’s literally a half-truth. Traverse City on the south end of Grand Traverse Bay is just barely south of the 45th parallel, the halfway point between the equator and North Pole. In the resort, in the city, up and down

The Traverse City Region is a Winter Wonderland any direction you travel. This is Crystal River at Glen Arbor. (Photo by Art Weber)

Natural Wanders by Art Weber Old Mission Peninsula, which splits the big bay into two arms, and the Leelanau Peninsula, which stands tall and sandy on the west side of the bay, separating it from Lake Michigan, Christmas is a big deal. Lights, signs, Santas. Traverse City is the cultural center, a

small city of 15,000 that combines big city amenities like great dining and services with the neighborly reception you’d expect in a village. Scattered about is a rolling countryside dotted with quaint small towns, vineyards, and an extraordinary selection of great views, nature trails, opportunities for skiing and snowmobiling, and miles and miles of shoreline. Less than an hour from Traverse City on Lake Michigan is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, 17.000 acres ruled by towering sand dunes stretching along more than 35 miles of shoreline from Empire

north along the Leelanau Peninsula. Reflecting the area, Sleeping Bear is a great combination of outstanding natural and cultural features. It’s so good that in 2011, the area was designated “The Most Beautiful Place in America” in a Good Morning America poll of viewers. The region is always a great vacation destination, whether for weeks or a few days. Each season brings a different beauty and Christmastime was no different, with the bonus of a true holiday spirit.

The father of two former Genoa threesports stars who graduated in 1992 and 1993, Gladden admits that he’s been known to get just a bit too worked-up over some ballgames. “I actually started announcing all of the Genoa High School basketball games first, and that was right around 1994 right after my youngest boy Andrew graduated from Genoa, and when Dennis Spisak, who was the Genoa athletic director out here at the time, approached me, and said, ‘You know, we want you to announce our basketball games for us, because your voice is loud enough, it’s clear enough, and we can definitely always hear you every night way up in the stands,’” Gladden told Press contributing writer Jeffrey D. Norwalk in 2009. “Spisak told me, ‘Yeah, you might as well put that voice to good use, and get behind the microphone,’ which at the time, I thought was kind of funny, really,” continues Gladden. Gladden’s first game courtside would come against Eastwood in a sold-out contest, for all the Suburban Lakes League marbles. Soon after, he agreed to take over for Bill “The Professor” Bundy. “In the very first Genoa home basketball game that I did, we were playing against Eastwood, and as it’s been for so many seasons, Genoa was good that year, Eastwood was really good, and it was just a really big game for both teams, with I think a shot for the league title on the line,” hints K.G. “From that night on, the whole thing just kind of progressed into my starting to announce for Genoa football up at Bergman, too, in about 1996,” adds Gladden. “Jim Henline, who was the principal at Genoa at the time, came up to me, and said, ‘Hey, you’re doing such a good job announcing basketball for us, we’d like you to do football for us, too.’ (— in part reprinted from a Press feature by contributing writer Jeffrey D.

With only four seniors it has to be rebuilding time for Clay wrestling, correct? Not at Clay. Not with coach Ralph Cubberly. Just ask the 26 other teams that competed at the Comet Classic in Solon to open up the season. Despite forfeiting four weight classes, Cubberly’s Eagles took home the team championship by narrowly edging out Mentor Lake Catholic for first place in the prestigious tournament. “We have a deep tradition in wrestling and the athletes who choose to be a part of this program accept the challenge to carry on Clay wrestling tradition through hard work and dedication to this sport,” explained Cubberly, who is in his seventh year in charge of the Eagles. Entering the current season, Cubberly is 126-35 at Clay with five conference championships while winning sectionals all six years at the helm of the program. There have been a pair of state runners-up team finishes to go along with five during his 20-year reign at Eastwood. In between Cubberly coached for two years at Defiance. A year ago, Clay came in second in the TRAC and third at districts, while claiming a sectional championship. Expectations to continue the tradition never end, as evident by the tourney crown to open the year. “This team has a lot of experience even though we only have four seniors on it,” noted Cubberly, who was 430-130 overall prior to the 2017-18 campaign. Garret Anderson and Nick Daly are returning state qualifiers and headline this year’s squad. Anderson, who will wrestle at 145, is a three-time TRAC and sectional champion who was second at districts a year ago. Daly, a heavyweight, won TRAC and sectional crowns last season while placing fourth at districts. Four other district qualifiers bring more optimism to the team in Troy Murphy at 160 or 170, Kyle Miller at 152 or 160, Kyle Maville at 120 and Josh Nagy at 182 or 195. Both Murphy and Miller won TRAC and sectionals last season, each reaching districts for the second time. Nagy, a junior, was one of two Clay wrestlers to finish first in the season opening tournament in Solon, with eight Eagles placing in the event. J.T. Meek, at 182, is another being looked at to contribute this year. “We have a couple of spots where some underclassmen will need to step up and fill in holes left after graduation last year,” pointed out Cubberly, a member of the Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame who twice has been selected Coach of the year in the state. Jacob Moon (106), who finished first in the Comet Classic and then came in sixth a week later in the 24th annual Walsh Jesuit Ironman Wrestling Tournament highlighted by a 13-1 decision over the top seed from California, headlines a strong freshman class. Promising newcomers along with Moon are Seth Meinke (120), Mike Daly (126), Gabe Walentowski (132), T.J. Lajhti (138), Nate Howard (152), Justin Tolles (170) and Caleb Mullican (182) according to Cubberly. “All are very good and experienced freshmen we are expecting big things from this season,” Cubberly said. The Eagles feature 38 athletes on the roster, with 18 of those freshmen.

(Facebook.com/ClayWrestling) “All of our wrestlers are focused on one plan and are training themselves both mentally and physically for the challenges that lie ahead in our very tough schedule,” noted Cubberly, who has had one national champion, three state champs, two state runners-up, 18 state placers and 29 state qualifiers during his time in charge of the Clay program. “We need to outwork our opponents and stick to our practice plan,” Clay said about keys to another great season at Clay. “We need to be disciplined in the things we do including diet and school work, and to continue building team camaraderie and spirit.” At the 33-team 58th North Canton Hoover Holiday tournament, Clay finished ninth overall. Maville finished second, Anderson third, Meek fourth and junior A.J. Szigeti sixth. “Everyone on the team fought hard and has made improvements. We are very excit-

ed for the remaining portion of the season,” Cubberly said. At 120, Maville (8-3), a junior, made his way to the championship, losing by a 2-1 decision to undefeated junior Ken Hayman (5-0) of Canon-McMillan (Pennsylvania). At 138, Szigeti (5-5) was pinned in 4:45 by freshman Austin Pownall (4-2) of Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy in the fifth place match. At 145, Anderson (9-2), a senior, defeated Steubenville senior Michael Gray (7-2), 6-2, in the consolation final. At 182, Meek (8-3), a sophomore, lost his consolation final to Dublin Coffman junior Lennox Wolak (-1), who pinned him in 28 seconds. In the team standings, Wadsworth won with 241 points, followed by CVCA (175), Canon-McMillan (139), Coffman (117), Tuslaw (116), Huntington (111), Lake Catholic (108) and Clay (104). The only other Northwest Ohio team was Delta, which finished 13th, scoring 94 points.

Eastwood’s ’67 team to be honored It was 1966-67 — arguably one of Eastwood’s most successful years ever on the football field and basketball court. The Eagles won championships despite having to compete with larger schools in the Northern Lakes League. An NLL football championship was followed by an 18-0 regular season on the basketball court and then a win in the Class AA district tournament over fourthranked Libbey at a packed Whitmer Memorial Field House. The team was coached by the late Dale Bruning, a lifelong Pemberville resident and former history teacher who had a plethora of basketball coaching experience at Wood County high schools. Now, it’s time for the rest of us to honor that team. On the 50th anniversary of that 22-1 season, the 1966-67 squad will be honored on January 13 at

approximately 7 p.m., between the junior varsity and varsity games at Eastwood High School. The Eastwood boys will host Port Clinton that night. In 18 regular season games, the Eagles outscored opponents by an average score of 76.2 to 49.8, including a 109-64 win over NLL foe Springfield. Co-captain Jim Mandell, a senior guard who was fourth in Wood County and NLL scoring, had an 18.9 average, followed by junior guard Mike Gardner (15.4), and 6-4 senior cocaptain Bob Wilson (14.4). Ken Hamen, a 6-4 sophomore forward who later went on to a successful college career, grabbed 191 rebounds, Wilson was second with 183, and Bowlus had 153. Bowlus averaged 8.8 points and Hamen 7.3, but two years later Hamen would average well over 20 a game in leading the county and the NLL.

Flyers winning despite having to overcome injuries By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It was Dec. 12 and Lake’s girls basketball team was heading to Rossford for a Northern Buckeye Conference game against the Bulldogs, who were then 3-1. Flyers coach Joe Nowak was interested to see how his team would respond to adversity: Lake starters Lexi Robinson (foot) and Kortney Ellison (concussion) would not play due to injuries. Nowak inserted Bri Petroff into Robinson’s position at forward, and Colette Askins stepped into a starting guard role for Ellison. The Flyers, five days removed from a 50-44 home loss to NBC rival Elmwood, ripped the Bulldogs to the tune of 5215. Lake improved to 7-2 (4-1 NBC) with Wednesday’s 59-35 win at Port Clinton. “We’re going into our fourth game missing two starters,” Nowak said of the Port Clinton game. “That will be the last game (Ellison) misses, hopefully. These last three or four games, I’ve been really happy with way everyone has come together and galvanized. We’ve played very well for having a very limited roster. We have played six girls consistently and they’ve done a really nice job of meshing together and filling those voids.” Nowak said Askins and Petroff “have done a fantastic job” filling in, and he praised senior guard Maddy Hodgson, senior post Kayla Bekier and junior guard Mya Staczek for “stepping up their games.” “We’ve filled those voids by committee,” Nowak said. “Not to take away from the contributions that Colette and Bri and Hayley St. John have had. They’ve been that extra added benefit of the way these girls have come together and played well together.” The Flyers’ lone losses are to Elmwood (7-1, 5-0) and Swanton, which handed Lake a 47-40 home loss on Nov. 28. The Flyers were playing their third game in five days against Swanton. “I wish we could get both of those back,” Nowak said. “Swanton came in and played a great game. We weren’t focused and ready to go from an execution stand-

Elmwood was before Lexi got hurt and it took us a while to get used to the defense they were playing — a diamondand-one. We came out really passive. The second half, we came out much more aggressive and started to hit some shots. We were down one with less than a minute to play.”

Robinson, a first-team all-conference and all-district selection last season, has played in five games and averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds. “When we found out Lexi was going to be out and for how long, I was curious how the players would react to that,” Nowak said. “The way the girls came together and

trusted all that extra work they put in during the offseason and on a daily basis, they trusted that and took that next-girl-up mentality. I’ve been unbelievably happy with the way they’ve responded.” Through eight games, Bekier averaged 9.8 points and 9.1 rebounds after averaging around nine rebounds a game last season. “She is so athletic and long and quick, she goes after that ball when it comes off the rim,” Nowak said. “Offensively, she put in a lot of work in the spring last year. She didn’t play a spring sport, so she was coming in three days a week for an hour, putting up shot after shot. I think that hard work is showing now. She’s starting to knock down the jump shot consistently, and the majority of her points don’t come with her back to the basket.” Staczek, who poured in 30 points in Wednesday’s win over Port Clinton, was second on the team in scoring (11.5 ppg.) through eight games, despite scoring just six points in the Flyers’ first two games. Staczek has already doubled her scoring average from last season. “She came in during the summer and put in a lot of work,” Nowak said. “We want her to take advantage of her athleticism. In Lexi’s absence, she’s working to be more aggressive and taking her shots when they’re there. I’ve been most impressed with her on the defensive end. She has a motor that doesn’t stop. She’s fast and athletic and she guards the other team’s best ball handler. She gives them fits the entire length of the floor.” Hodgson averaged nine points and 6.9 assists through eight games. She dished out a school-record 16 assists in a win over Fostoria, breaking the previous record of 13, and had nine points, 10 assists and five steals against Port Clinton. “This is my third year with her, and from her sophomore year to now, she is a totally different player,” Nowak said. “I talked to her after she broke the (assist) record and she was happy she did it, but she also understood it wasn’t just her accomplishment. All of the girls she passed the ball to had to make their shots. She’s been huge for us and she has kind of expanded her responsibilities and contributions.”

Eastwood grapplers going from gridiron to the mat By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Even with as many as six freshmen in the starting lineup, Eastwood’s wrestling team has already shown it could be one of the top teams in the Northern Buckeye Conference this season. Coach Joe Wyant’s squad, which was picked by the coaches to finish third in the NBC, opened the season with conference wins over Otsego, Elmwood and Rossford, and lost to five-time defending NBC champion Genoa. The Eagles also won the team title on Dec. 16 at the Fremont St. Joe tournament. “I think we have a good shot to get second in the conference,” Wyant said. “We’ll be right there. We have a really young team. We start six freshmen who are going to be really good by the time they are seniors. I’m really happy with the freshmen we have.” Several wrestlers who played for the state runner-up football team were still getting their wrestling feet wet as of last week. Senior 195-pounder Seth Welch, seniors Jacob Hahn (138) and Addison Clark (285), and sophomores Mason Glaze (120) and Austin Nissan (220) all played for the Eagles’ football team. Welch was 29-19 and placed third at the NBC tournament at 170 pounds last year. He is 8-0 at 195 this season. “He might be 182 eventually,” Wyant said. “Seth is just a good, hard-nosed kid. He was our best offensive lineman in football and he was the lineman of the year in our league. He’s a tough kid and he’s strong. I would like to see him win a league championship.” Clark had a 22-15 record last season and took fourth at the NBC tournament. He was a second-team All-Ohio pick at tackle in football, and he is 7-2 on the mat so far this season. “He’s one that has probably improved the most over the last few years,” Wyant said. “He didn’t wrestle as a freshman, but wrestling’s made him a better football player.” Glaze competed at 106 pounds last season and was a district qualifier. He finished

(Press photo by Lee Welch/FamilyPhotoGroup.com) 33-18 and took fourth at the NBC tournament. “Our league had three of the best 106-pounders in the state (last year),” Wyant said. “It wasn’t that Mason wasn’t good, he just kept running into the Genoa kid and the Lake kid; Otsego had a good one, too. Mason’s a tough guy. He’s got good technique and he’s not intimidated by people.” Jacob Hahn, who is 8-1 this season, placed at the district tournament at 132 a year ago and finished 37-17. He took second in the NBC and third at sectionals. “He’s very strong and he’s quick,”

Wyant said. “He just has a desire to win. He was one of the best soccer players we’ve had, and he also ran track.” Jacob’s younger brother, Brandon, a freshman, is 14-0 at 113 pounds this season. “Brandon has the potential that by the time he’s done wrestling, he’s going to be one of the best wrestlers Eastwood has had,” Wyant said. “He’s very intelligent and he remembers everything. He works hard and he’s strong and quick. He’s got all the assets to be a very good wrestler.” Junior Zane Jankowski returns at 145 pounds after winning 12 matches last year.

Senior Kyle Fruth, who wrestled at 138 and 145 as a junior, is at 132 this season and has an 11-3 record. “Zane filled in at 145 last year,” Wyant said. “He’s a good kid and a very solid wrestler. Kyle got a lot stronger in the past year, and right now he’s had a really good start.” The rest of Eastwood’s lineup includes sophomore Ross Beaverson at 170, senior Cody Collins at 126, and freshmen Bryce Maynard (106), Zach Kwaitkowski (126), Jimmy Recknagel (152), Connor Oberhouse (160) and Blake Landis (182). Maynard is off to an 8-1 start this season, while Jankowski is 10-4.

Bekier signs with national runner-up Owens volleyball The Press Box

It has been a busy month for the Owens College volleyball program since their runner-up finish in the 2017 NJCAA Division II National Championships. The program has four new signings that have happened over the past month since the end of the season and the coaching staff is working hard to replace the six sophomores that have departed after the past season. The Express will welcome Kayla Bekier (Lake), Kara Schafer (Monroeville), Kiah Wendell (Fort Recovery) and Kara Evers (Marion Local) this coming fall. Bekier, a six foot tall senior, finished her final season at Lake as a first team AllNorthern Buckeye Conference, first team alldistrict and first team Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press outside hitter. During her junior year, Bekier was second team All-NBC, all-district and All-Press. During her sophomore season, she was an honorable mention All-NBC, all-district, and All-Press. Bekier is a two-sport athlete who also plays basketball for the Flyers. She also garnered several academic honors as well. Bekier has been on the honor roll and the high honor roll as well. She also has received her Academic Letter. Bekier’s parents are Leon and Cindy Baker. Owens finished the 2017 season as the national runner-up for the first time in NJCAA D-II and it is their highest finish since the team began competing at the D-II level. This season the Express finished at 40-1 overall. They finished with the highest winning percentage in the last decade for the volleyball program.

In December, the Civilian Marksmanship Program hosted its last air rifle event of 2017. A total of 407 junior athletes from around the country made the decision to either travel north to the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center at Camp Perry in Port Clinton or the CMP South Competition Center in Anniston, Ala., to fire in the annual Gary Anderson Invitational. The 3x20 aggregate event allows competitors from both locations to go “shoulder-to-shoulder,” even while miles apart. Last year’s sporter champion, Emma Thompson, 17, of Freeport High School in Illinois, came out to reclaim her title by a six-point margin, with an overall score of 645.3. During her 2016 performance, Thompson fired a 20 Shots Standing Navy JROTC record, 20 Shot Kneeling Navy JROTC and Age Group II records, along with 3x20 Navy JROTC, Age Group II and Overall records and a 3x20 plus Finals record score – still holding nearly all of those records today. Possessing an undeniable talent, Thompson has been a Distinguished Junior competitor since 2015.

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Christmas Christianity is a religion of paradoxes, and one of the most paradoxical elements of Christianity is the incarnation, the idea that God became man, being born as a helpless child in the humblest of circumstances. Nativity scenes memorialize this event, showing a baby lying in a manger, which is nothing more than a feeding trough for domesticated animals. But Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth is only the first of many paradoxes. At the other end of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is the paradox of the almighty God letting himself be taunted and tortured, and ultimately letting himself die an ignominious death by hanging on a cross. We do well to remember that Christianity turns many virtues on their head. Strength, pride and wisdom are replaced by weakness, humility and a kind of naivete or simple-

Oregon

mindedness. At this time of year when we celebrate Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth with lavish spending and gift-giving, we do well to remember that material things are golden fetters and that poverty makes us free to live a simpler, more spiritual life. The Son of God was born in a manger, and as He himself told a potential follower, he still had nowhere to lay his head. Jesus appears to be telling this man to count the cost of becoming his follower. Christmas might make us think that Christianity is nothing but sweetness and light when in fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly difficult to be a good Christian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I will follow you wherever you go.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jesus replied, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Luke 9:57-58

Thank You The Oregon Health and Welfare Christmas Basket Committee would like to thank all of the generous businesses and individuals that make Christmas Basket distribution possible. The Christmas season can be difficult for many. Taking part in a holiday program like the Christmas Basket can be very rewarding for volunteers, financial supporters and businesses. The Oregon Christmas Basket Program started in the 1960s as Oregon School teachers noticed there were students in class that most likely would not have a holiday meal. High School students delivered food to the 15 to 20 families who were recipients at the time. The program has grown and evolved since its inception. Thanks to the generous support of volunteers, individuals, and businesses, we were able to serve 453 individuals this holiday season. Our sincerest thanks to all who helped, Yvonne Thoma-Patton, Committee Chair Rick Orovitz, Jim Kwiatkowski, Gerry Wasserman, Shirley Norton, Nancy Charlton, Trina Floyd Volunteers Vernon Patton Emily Paluch Trina Floyd Miriam Pasznick Gary Langel Mary K.
