Bihn blasts EPA for ‘lying’

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Councilwoman Sandy Bihn last Monday slammed the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for telling the public at an information session that an iron manufacturing facility planned in East Toledo would be the only one of its kind in the country. Bihn said there is a similar one in Texas that has several lawsuits filed against it due to pollution and noise. Bihn attended the public information session and hearing held by the Ohio EPA at Waite High School on Jan. 18 regarding a draft air emissions permit for IronUnits, which plans to build an iron briquette manufacturing facility on the former Ironville Terminal Brownfield site at Front Street and Millard Avenue in East Toledo near the Oregon border. Bihn said at last week’s council meeting that the Ohio EPA had “lied” about whether there was another facility similar to the one planned in East Toledo. “I’ve been in a very angry, upset mode for the entire weekend because of this,” said Bihn, a long time environmentalist and executive director of Lake Erie Waterkeeper. She said she had contacted an expert in the field and was told the type of technology that will be used by the facility has been used in Iran, Libya and Russia. She said an iron manufacturing plant in Portland, Texas uses technology similar to the one that will be used in East Toledo. That plant has been the subject of several lawsuits. “We were lied to - just flat out lied,” she said of the Ohio EPA. “They said there was none in the U.S. like this. It’s absolutely not true. There is a facility in Portland, Texas that produces 2.2 million tons of iron briquettes. It’s the same system they’re going to use here. The reason they didn’t want us to know this is because they have multiple lawsuits. They have lawsuits for dirt and emissions, and lawsuits over noise. The [Texas] plant was constructed and became Continued on page 6

Flu battle continues By Katie Siebenaller Press Staff Writer katiesieb@presspublications.com It is that time of year where no office, no store, no restaurant or school appears to be void of coughing and sniffling. Those are the sounds of influenza, a type of virus more commonly known as the flu. The flu is as unavoidable this year as ever, breaking out across the country, deaths and hospitalizations are being reported by numerous media outlets. As of Jan. 13, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated in their Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report that 31.5 of every 100,000 hospitalizations are confirmed to be influenza-associated. Locally, the number of influenza-associated hospitalizations tally up to 271 in Lucas County, 70 in Wood County and 21
in Ottawa County. This year’s flu is widespread enough to be classified as an epidemic, though the number of flu cases reaches high enough levels nearly every year to be labeled as such. While it is shaping up to be one of the worst flu seasons in recent history, the 2017-2018 flu season is no where near breaking records in severity. Flu season typically begins in October, and can last as late as May, covering the fall and winter months. The season’s peak varies from year to year, taking place between December and February. According to the CDC, this season’s peak is occurring right now, in January.Each flu season there is one strain of the virus that is most prevalent. This season it is Influenza A H3N2, possibly the most dreaded strain. Continued on page 2
Deputy Chief James O’Bryant commands the criminal investigation division of the Toledo Police Department, however, he might not have been qualified to join the force in 1967 when his father did. O’Bryant’s short stature (5’8 ¾”) may have precluded him from applying by one-quarter inch. Much has changed in policing in the past 50 years and O’Bryant shared some of those changes when he spoke last week to block watch leaders and members of the East Toledo Club. In 1967, the department hired primarily men of a certain size because intimidation and use of force were the dominant strategies, he said. A military background was a plus. Today, the department is much more diverse in gender, race and educational backgrounds. “We are much smarter about policing in 2018 than in 1985 when I showed up,” he said, citing advancements in technology and statistical analysis as well as closer connections with the community to build bonds and gather information. The department uses many strategies to increase how officers touch the community. Some of the programs are the school resource officer, Walk & Ride with an Officer, Coffee with Cops and Shop with a Cop. Statistical analysis has also changed the way officers go about their jobs. In the past, patrol cars were assigned to provide a presence in all neighborhoods. O’Bryant said that’s still the case, although special units are now assigned to areas experiencing an uptick in violent crime. One such program, S.T.O.P. (Strategic Tactical Operational Policing) is designed to flood a high crime neighborhood with a high police presence. These special units include officers from vice, SWAT, and the gang squad as well as street patrolmen. “If we’re in a certain neighborhood and we know someone is involved in drugs or gangs, we’re going to pull them over and talk to them,” he said. “If you have no criminal record, we’re not pulling you over and giving you a ticket for a seat belt violation. That’s not our purpose. Our purpose is to make sure that people who live in the neighborhood are safe. They deserve to be safe.” After a S.T.O.P sweep, officers go doorto-door to explain why they are there, gather information and answer questions. “The other thing we are doing now that we didn’t do is working with our federal partners—the ATF, FBI, U.S. Marshals and parole and probation departments.” Continued on page 4

East Toledo icon passes away at 95 By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com For residents of East Toledo, the Island Variety Store, located on Dearborn Avenue, has been a familiar and very lasting fixture. Customers come to the story for many reasons, including seeing owner Evelyn Krieger. On Tuesday, Jan. 9, Evelyn, 95, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family. According to her daughter, Gail Durczynski, hearing from longtime customers and friends about her mother’s legacy has been a comfort. “I have had many people come in and tell me how nice and generous she was,� Durczynski said. “Many people really do have very fond memories of her, which is just so wonderful.� Born in Monroe, Michigan, Evelyn grew up in East Toledo, graduating from Waite High School. She was a member of St. Mark Lutheran Church, where she later married the love of her life, Wesley N. Krieger. The couple built the neighborhood store in 1947. They lived with their three children in the apartment above the store. “My mom just loved the store and the apartment, “ Durczynski said. “She was able to live independently there until later last year.� Durczynski said her mother was the main caretaker of the store. Her father also worked as an insurance agent. “My mom had the best of two worlds,� she said. “She was able to be with us and earn a living, which was uncommon for women at that time. When you own a store,
Evelyn Krieger you have to give up certain things as well. You are tied to the store, but we were all very close because of it.� Her parents retired from the store in 1975. She and her sister Carol Belknap took over the day-to-day running of the store, now the oldest family-run convenience store in Toledo. Evelyn came daily to the store, in her “retirement.� “I have always worked at the store,� Belknap said. “I remember pushing a broom and taking out garbage when I could walk. I think a lot of the kids we grew up with thought it was so cool to have a store. I mean, we had access to the store whenever we wanted something. We did not have to go anywhere for last minute items.� Durczynski said she can remember a

time when there was a convenience store pretty much on every corner. She also remembers and has heard from many who still mark the first time they felt “grown up� as the time they were allowed to go to Island Variety by themselves. “I feel we have stayed around because we have kept up with the trends,� she said. “My parents. and now my sister and I have been very dedicated to the store and the community. If someone told us what they wanted, we made sure to get it.� Island Variety continues to keep pace with the times, Durczynski said. The store offers money and bill-paying services; dog, hunting and fishing licenses, and many other products. The store is open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. “A lot of people have told us that our mom was so sweet and they loved seeing her in the store,� she said. “We are still working every day and we like to be here. My daughter, Julie, said she wants to see the store remain in the family. We just want to thank this community for all of their support over the years. It meant a lot to my mom and dad and it does to us.� Evelyn is survived by her children Carol (Marv) Belknap, Gary (Sandy) Krieger, Gail (Dave) Durczynski and Jeff Schenkel; grandchildren, Becky (John), Michael (April), Ben (Cindy), Andy (Sherry), Julie (David), Jeff (Brandy), Michelle, John, Stephanie (Kirk), Valerie (Jim), Bradley (Nikki) and Jeff; and many great-grandchildren. Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Lena (Kern) Kregel; husband, Wesley; brothers, Lyle and Darryl Kregel and great-grandson, Cody VanHersett.
Every time it appears, H3N2 presents a challenge to those creating and preparing the coming year’s flu vaccines. The coming year’s flu is predicted in advance in order for vaccines to be available sooner to prevent a severe outbreak. But this particular strain is known to change genetically in the time it takes to develop the vaccine for it, or even during flu season, often decreasing the effectiveness of flu vaccines. It is important to note that despite not being 100 percent effective, it is still important to get vaccinated. The CDC recommends getting a yearly flu shot by the end of October, however, it is still not too late to get vaccinated. Even in late January, getting vaccinated remains beneficial. An injectable flu vaccine is recommended over the nasal spray vaccine, which aids in preventing several influenza viruses. Flu spreads easily, making a proactive approach to prevention crucial. Being aware of flu symptoms is the first step. Influenza viruses target the respiratory tract: the nose, throat and lungs. Symptoms can include coughing, a sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headaches or other muscle and body aches, fever or fatigue. One can have the flu without ever experiencing a fever. These symptoms can last up to two weeks, and have the potential to develop into more serious illnesses. Many cases of the flu have lead to or developed into secondary ear or sinus infections, or even pneumonia. The normal secretions that take place when a person speaks or coughs are what spread the virus to others, whether through directly infecting a person or contaminating surfaces others touch. Regular washing of hands and disinfecting surfaces can help keep the flu from spreading. “Stay home if you are ill,� adds Joni Brunkhorst, the nurse at Genoa Schools. Genoa Schools have been proactive in fighting off the flu, noting trends in symptoms among their students and keeping in contact with the Ottawa County Health Department, constantly disinfecting the schools and communicating to its students through an in-service and reminding them of proper hygiene and flu prevention. Keeping communication of symptoms open between the schools and community is important. “At Genoa, we have only had a few confirmed cases of influenza,� Brunkhorst states. “I feel that we are fairly comparative with our amount of absenteeism to past years.� Rather than the flu, Genoa Schools have seen more cases of student absences due to a GI bug, involving vomiting and headaches. “Please keep your children home if they are not feeling well,� Brunkhorst stresses to parents. “The school rule is [a student must be] 24 hours fever-free without fever-reducing medication.� The same rule of thumb is advised for working adults too.

Northwood plans to start adult recreation program Northwood residents can now sign up for an adult recreation program scheduled to start in February. Adult recreation was among the results of a survey that the city sent to residents asking what they would like to see in a city recreation program, said Patrick McGaharan, the city’s part-time director of parks and recreation. He is also working on starting a summer recreation program for kids, which topped the wish list in the survey. “My job now is to start a summer rec program and adult rec program. There were many things on the list, a lot of which can’t be addressed because of financial issues. The recreation program for adults is pretty cheap. I’m still working on the summer rec program, along with 10 other items.” The adult recreation program will be located in the Arts, Administration and Athletic Building, the former high school, he said.

also have full access to the gym, where you can play basketball.” Pickleball, he noted, will also be offered. And for an additional $1, residents can join a fitness class. “On Wednesday nights, we’ll have an instructor come in and do a fitness class from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. It will be for both experienced and inexperienced people. She’ll work with everybody,” he said. The hallways will be marked off for those who want to walk for exercise. “They’ll know how many times they have to walk around to walk a mile,” he said. Jump ropes will also be available. Senior citizens from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday can walk the hallways for free. The program is expected to start the second week of February.

“The administration is there now. They still use the auditorium. They play junior high basketball games there and play Bingo in the cafeteria. Penta County also rents a couple of rooms. So there are still activities there. The City of Northwood was given one classroom and I’m in charge of that. We’re working on new flooring and drop ceilings, and will open it up to senior citizens during the week when the book mobile comes in. I don’t know when that’s going to start, but I’m working on that, too.” A one-time fee of $20 will cover the four month adult recreation program, he said. Start small If the response is strong, more will be added to the program next year. “We’ll start small, and have more next year. We’ll get a bunch of cardio equipment, like treadmills,” he said. “Right now, we’ll have full access to a weight room that’s already in the building. It’s pretty nice over there. They doubled the size of it. We’ll
Summer rec He hopes to complete plans for the summer recreation program for kids soon. “That was the number one thing on the survey. People wanted that to come back. Obviously, it gives kids something to do in the summer. We haven’t had that in a few years,” he said. He didn’t know why it was discontinued in the first place, he said. “I don’t know why it ended - maybe because of costs. I’ve been working on costs. It’s quite a bit more expensive that what I anticipated,” he said. “My kids were in it when they were in school, and my youngest now is 23, so it’s been a while since I was involved in summer rec. It’s crazy. It sounds so simple, and it is, to organize a program like that. But then you have little stuff you have to go through to make it work.” For more information, contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 419704-2194

Toledo Community Foundation recently accepted the gift of a baseball complex from Cleves R. Delp, chairman and CEO of TDC Companies. The facility, Mercy Field, is the home of the Central Catholic Fighting Irish and Lourdes University Greywolves baseball programs. Located at 525 S. Holland-Sylvania Rd in Toledo. Mercy Field, a partnership of Mercy Health, the Diocese of Toledo, Central Catholic High School and Lourdes University, has also served as the site for numerous Sectional and District Tournament games, summer collegiate teams, and the NABF College World Series. In August 2013, Mercy Field was awarded the upper Midwest Regional Field of the Year by the National High School Baseball Coaches Association. The asset, Mercy Field, will be held and financially administered by Toledo Community Foundation. “From the beginning, this facility was intended to be a gift to the community; therefore, the Toledo Community Foundation is the perfect owner at this time,” Delp said. “Creating a charitable gift with the help of Mercy Health, the Diocese of Toledo, Toledo Central Catholic and Lourdes University has been a wonderful partnership.” “Toledo Community Foundation is thankful for this innovative gift for the community. It’s business as usual, and we will honor all sponsorship and use of field contracts that are currently in existence,” stated Keith Burwell, President, Toledo Community Foundation.

Connections with community enhance police work Continued from front page Technology has also made a difference in establishing connections with neighborhoods. The department has a presence on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Technology and statistical analysis are two tools used to combat crime, but the most important tool is the man in the uniform and the respect he commands from the citizens he has vowed to serve. “How we are judged is how we treat people. We have a theme--Do the right thing… A true police officer has the ability to be the toughest son of a pup in the room. If something bad happens here right now who are you going to look at? “Me. “And, I will take care of it. “A true policeman can also be the most compassionate guy in the room. And, sometimes, you got to be able to flip the switch,” he said. That’s easier said than done, he added. A police officer can get verbally abused, spat at, punched and then the next minute called upon to help someone, to show compassion. That goes against human nature and it takes training to overcome that. Deputy Chief O’Bryant also shared some good news with the audience. Comparing 2017 to 2016, violent crime--shootings, rape
and robbery--was down five percent and property crime--burglary auto theft and theft from autos—was down eight percent. On the other hand, homicides increased from 35 in 2016 to 39 last year. And, to no one’s surprise, the opiate crisis still fuels the crime rate. O’Bryant attended Birmingham Elementary School before his parents moved out of the district. He also served as a patrolman in East Toledo for three years. He will retire later this year and left the audience with a cautionary note. In the three- year period—1983 to 1985—more than 200 officers were hired, an average 67 a year. This year’s class numbers 39 and future classes are expected to have similar numbers. The department currently employs around 630. O’Bryant would like to see those numbers increased back to 700 but admits that will be a challenge given the number eligible for retirement. He concluded, “See something, say something…Policing is only one component of making your neighborhood better. Reporting blight, making sure the city knows the neighborhood problems, abandon homes…It’s when people don’t care is when neighborhoods die.” John Szozda is a member of the East Toledo Club.

Records missing After Jagodzinski was let go from her job last July, it was noted that all records related to the rental of city buildings were missing, according to the report. Jagodzinski was contacted in an attempt to recover the missing records. Jagodzinski returned several binders of rental records. However, after reviewing
Preventive measures City Administrator Bob Anderson told The Press last week that the city has instituted measures to prevent theft of public funds in the future. “We have taken steps to correct that. We’re putting more stringent controls on the money we take in. Specifically, we have changed how money is handled by public employees. There has to be at least two or three people involved in transactions,� said Anderson. “When we get money, it now must be deposited immediately with the Finance Department. When a room is rented, we make sure there is a record of that. The daily rental fee is $35 for residents. The deposit can be up to $100 per rental. The deposit is refunded if the room is left in satisfactory condition.

FirstEnergy announces investment Four private equity groups have agreed to invest $2.5 billion in FirstEnergy Corp. that includes a purchase of $1.62 billion in preferred stock and $850 million in common stock, the company announced last week. The preferred stock is to be converted into common shares after 18 months. The common stock was priced at $28.22 per share. Funding from the private offering will be used to reduce FirstEnergy’s holding company debt, contribute to its pension fund and “general corporate purposes.� As part of the transaction, FirstEnergy will form what it calls a Restructuring Working Group with the investors to minimize the time needed to exit the competitive generation market. FirstEnergy Solutions generates and sells power but the company’s aging nuclear and coal-powered plants have had trouble competing with power produced by natural gas and solar systems. The private firms are Elliot Management Corp., a manager of two hedge funds; Bluescape, a private investment firm that specializes in the oil, gas and power industries; GIC, a sovereign wealth fund owned by Singapore, and Zimmer Partners, LP, a New York investment firm. Hiring announced First Federal Bank has hired Beth Carr
as a Private Banker. She will be serving clients in the Toledo, Sylvania, Maumee, Oregon and Perrysburg areas. Carr has more than 30 years of banking experience and will be responsible for handling accounts and introducing clients to investment, retirement, trust and wealth management Beth Carr services. She serves on the Lourdes University Foundation Event Committee and with Northwest Ohio Regional Economic Development. Superior rating for bank GenoaBank has been awarded the Five Stars “Superior� rating from the independent bank-rating firm BauerFinancial.

The Ohio Auditor last week issued a finding for recovery for public monies totaling $650 against the former clerk of the City of Northwood and in favor of the city’s general fund. Julie Jagodzinski was fired from the city for performance reasons in July of 2016. She was indicted by the Wood County grand jury last year for two counts of theft, one count of tampering with records and one count of tampering with evidence. The city owns many buildings available for rent to residents for holding various types of events. Jagodzinski was responsible for having residents complete rental hall agreements, and collecting the rental fees. A receipt was to be completed by Jagodzinski with a copy of the receipt issued to the resident. The date of rental would be documented on a calendar with a copy of the calendar submitted to the Maintenance Department. Jagodzinski would then submit the revenue to Northwood Finance Director Ken Yant for depositing, according to an independent auditor’s report.
the contents, it was noted that records from 2014 through 2016 were still missing. As a result of an investigation by the Wood County Prosecutor’s Office, it was determined that at least $650 in rental fee revenue was collected by Jagodzinski and not deposited in the city’s bank account. Following the indictments by the grand jury, Jagodzinski pled guilty on Dec. 4 to one count of theft in office in an amended indictment. Counts two, three and four were dismissed. She was sentenced to one year community control. According to the terms of probation, she must maintain lawful employment, complete 200 hours of community service, have no contact with the City of Northwood, submit to DNA testing, and pay $650 in restitution, a $100 supervision fee and court costs.

Bihn blasts EPA for ‘lying’ Continued from front page operational in 2016. So it’s new. “ The lawsuits against the plant in Texas allege property values have plummeted due to dirt and noise from the facility. “This has been going on for a year. By December, the problems have not yet been resolved,” she said. “The fact that this wasn’t addressed in the draft permit is unconscionable. You don’t come into our community and our area with a major facility and not be honest about what is going on in Texas. Everything is the same. The only thing that is different, at least that I can tell, and the expert can tell, is they have different owners. They are havSandy Bihn ing major problems there and this is not the kind of facility that we want in our area or community.” Industry limitations She said that the amount of emissions from the plant “are so great, that no other heavy industry can come in here,” including industry on a smaller scale, due to regulations. The total emission rate at the Texas facility is 0.058. In Toledo, the total emission rate will be 0.06, she noted. “So our total emissions rate will be higher than the one in Texas. It’s incremental, but nevertheless, it’s higher.” Bihn also expressed concerns that there would not be continuous monitoring of the facility. “There’s mercury and taconite in the iron ore that’s not addressed in the permit,” she said. Control technologies that are used in newer industries will not be used at the Toledo plant because owners have said it is costly. “They refuse to use it because they have said it is too expensive.” She said the facility in Toledo is expected to be larger than the one in Texas. “This is a mammoth facility.” Noise, an issue at the Texas plant, is not controlled by EPA, she said. “It’s controlled by us. How would we know what that noise will be – there is no review. I am just shocked by what I found, that what we were told is so erroneous. I think this is a wakeup call to all of us. I think when a facility comes in to a community with an air or water permit, we ought to have a review. I don’t care how good they are or what their record is. We just don’t understand this stuff. But more than anything, this Texas facility is just a nightmare.”
Roman. Hornyak asked Bihn if any environmental groups have criticized the facility. “No. The groups haven’t addressed it,” said Bihn. “The mercury part is certainly a Lake Erie related issue. If mercury is released, it’s certainly a concern. There is documentation that mercury is in that product, but we don’t know how much.” Conveyor Council President Dennis Walendzak said plans call for the construction of a conveyor over Front Street near the border in Oregon. “It would not be a desirable thing to travel under it every time someone traveled into Oregon. We don’t even know if it’s going to be a closed conveyor that would convey the iron ore into the plant over Front Street. Obviously, that would cause potential dust emissions there. Maybe not for the city, but for the region,” he said. If approved, the draft permit would allow the $700 million project to move forward with the construction of a 2.48 million tons-per-year hot briquetted iron manufacturing facility, according to the Ohio EPA. The plan will use a reformer fueled by natural gas and a shaft furnace. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen, oxides, particulate matter and greenhouse gas pollutants are expected to be emitted, along with minor quantities of other pollutants. “I guess when I listen to all of this, sometimes the temptation of new jobs and an increase in tax revenue have to be balanced with the safety of our environment,” said Councilman James Seaman. “That’s really what we’re running into here. Sometimes it becomes very attractive and tempting to increase jobs on the docks and the railroad, and in the new factory. It all has to be balanced.” EPA aware Dina Pierce, media coordinator for the Northwest and Southwest districts, told The Press last week that the new facility would be the first of its kind in Ohio, not the nation, as Bihn said she was told at the hearing. “There is no other facility in Ohio like the proposed IronUnits plant,” said Pierce. “We are aware of the plant in Texas and evaluated that facility as the permit was drafted for the proposed Ohio IronUnits facility.” If the draft permit is approved, the final permit would require dust control measures for the storage piles and material handling if the plant is built in Toledo, she added. Pierce said in an article that appeared in the Jan. 15 edition of The Press that the Ohio EPA will be monitoring pollution emitted at the plant. “Once the facility is constructed and begins operations, the company has one year to apply for an operating permit. Before issuing the operating permit, the company is required to complete the initial stack testing requirements contained in the permit-to-install to verify the emissions are within predicted levels and are protective of local air quality. Ohio EPA will determine the frequency of additional emissions testing requirements after the results of the initial stack tests are reviewed. Additionally, the facility would be required to perform daily checks to make sure the emission units and the emission control systems are operating properly, keep records and file operation reports with Ohio EPA. Finally, Ohio EPA or Toledo Division of Environmental Services, will conduct periodic facility inspections to ensure proper operations and record keeping.” Bihn stands by her earlier comments. She reiterated to The Press on Thursday that the Ohio EPA had said at the hearing there would be no other facility like it in the U.S., not in Ohio as Pierce contended.
“
You don’t come into our community and our area with a major facility and not be honest about what is going on in Texas.
“
In Oregon Plans call for the back part of the facility to be in Oregon to be used for storage and parking. “The back part that goes over Duck Creek - there will be some storage there. They’re taking four acres of wetlands that is up for a permit as well,” said Bihn. Councilman Steve Hornyak asked if the city has any input on the project, since some of it will be in Oregon. “Any Ohio resident or entity” said Administrator Mike Beazley, “has the right to file comments with the Ohio EPA. We have no permitting authority or regulatory authority. It’s all controlled by the state. They’re going to be extending a rail line that’s going to loop around on the Oregon side, and it’s zoned appropriately.” Public Service Director Paul Roman said the company needs permit approval of a site plan for the portion in Oregon. “We’re going to still comment, even if Toledo doesn’t. But they do need permit approval for what’s going into Oregon,” said

Now is time to ask yourself what’s truly important If you had to prioritize, what would be the top 5 aspects of life which are most important to you? These are the things which matter more than anything else. Not recognizing or fully appreciating the essential elements of your life is all too common. It’s easy to take the really important stuff for granted while stressing over insignificant factors. People who have survived a harrowing, life threatening situation find they have a new perspective on what’s important. They treasure each day as the precious gift it is. A person who doesn’t appreciate what is really important is prone to stress and worry. Regardless of how good their circumstances may be, this individual looks for and finds problems on a regular basis. Appreciating what’s really important gives you a positive outlook. You are able to keep things in perspective. You won’t get stuck worrying about insignificant stuff. You’ll let unimportant issues roll off of your back. Without a conscious awareness of what’s really important, getting caught up with meaningless trivia becomes a common occurrence. You then find yourself stressing over small stuff daily and getting
Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden annoyed easily. Here are some examples of relatively unimportant things people devote too much energy to. Worrying about what other people say, think, or do, along with the decisions they make. Since you have no control over others, stop expending any energy on how they are running their lives. Comparing yourself to others and what they have is pointless. You are not in competition with anyone. Whether you have more or less than someone else has no bearing on your life. Chasing fads or trends produces no rewards. You don’t need acceptance from anyone. People who reject you are not worth any attention. Don’t waste your time associating with those who judge you based on your trendiness. Negative criticism, trying to change
people, getting upset over trivial issues, striving to make people like you, or attempting to change anything you have no control over, are some other unimportant things. Lamenting the past is a waste of time. You can’t change any events which have already transpired, but you can learn from them. Your past teaches you what worked and what didn’t. Especially valuable is learning not to waste any more time being concerned about unimportant things. You have to decide what’s important to you. Each person has their own perspective on what qualifies. Below are some examples of things which may be important. Create your list based on what you need and desire. Mental and physical health are essential for your well-being. Be proactive in this area by doing everything within your power to take care of yourself. All of the time and effort you devote to this pursuit is well spent. Significant relationships with family and friends are worthy of your attention. Being a good role model for your children is essential. Don’t take good relationships for granted. Maintaining them requires consistent participation.
Amazon a sure winner in HQ2 game By Jim Hightower In September, the giant retail monopolist Amazon announced its intention to build a second corporate headquarters in Someplace, North America. Where’s that? Aha, that’s the trick in a corporate game called “Fleece the Taxpayer.” CEO Jeff Bezos demanded that cities submit a list of bribes (excuse me, “incentives”) they would pay to get Amazon to put what he calls HQ2 in their place. Yes, the haughty Amazonian royals actually commanded our public officials to bring all the jewels, gold, and other taxpayer booty they have and kiss Bezos’ ring just to be considered for HQ2. In one stroke, taxpayers all across America were pitted against each other in a bidding war. Amazon even listed specific incentives that each supplicant should offer. First was a “business-friendly environment.” Then, urging hopefuls to “think big” when offering freebies, the directive demanded contributions of “land, site preparation, tax exemptions, relocation grants, workforce grants, utility grants, and fee reductions.” Surely no self-respecting civic official would willingly play the sucker in such a demeaning, sell-out-the-public scam. Ha! Officials from 238 cities, regions, and states have so far rushed to Bezos’ corporate castle to woo and grovel in the perverse hope that Amazon might choose their taxpayers to rip off. Amazon announced that it’s narrowed the actual contenders down to 20 cities — so they will now be compelled to jack up their bribe offers. That’s the whole purpose of the HQ2 game that this corporate huckster has been running on us. In fact, Amazon’s site-location team

No accountability To the editor: Referring to the article in the Jan. 15 edition of The Press (Voter roll case is personal for mayor); maybe I am missing an important point. If I am not, it sounds to me like citizens should be able to show up to vote on a whim regardless of their former voting record. It seems to me like another example of individuals wanting to be granted an extreme privilege without any accountability on their part. Would mayor Joe Helle support the same policy for the voters who elected him? If he would, these voters are breaking the law. Juanita Weigman Gibsonburg
Pool politics? To the editor: First the good news about the senior complex in Oregon. The new complex is to be built near our lovely senior
center; close to all the amenities and our library. Oregon has so much to offer. The bad news is our loss of a warm therapeutic pool for the 40-100 residents who need it to stay mobile and active. This is the second time this has happened. First, there was the closing of the pool on Isaac Street and we were led to believe we could use the new one on Navarre Avenue. Not true. Then a year after it opened we seniors were told we could take classes or have open time. Now in February we are frozen out again and the only place to go is Perrysburg or downtown Toledo. It appears our local hospital is not into preventative medicine. Maybe Oregon recreation could consider all the amazing health benefits of a pool and build one – especially since we keep inviting seniors to live here. Norma Newell Oregon

Cage player, golfer active again after stem cell surgery By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Waite High School 17-year-old junior Delanie Notheis was already getting noticed as a junior high basketball player. Since then, she has been through the gauntlet, but is now coming back full steam. It started when Notheis suffered an injury during her seventh grade year of basketball. She continued to play until her freshman year, and then the unthinkable happened. “A day after her 16th birthday she went down and there was no getting up to play,” Comfort McGee, her mother, emailed to The Press. “Over the years, her knee has been dislocated over 15 times. At this time a surgeon advised her that the surgery would be one that was not done in the United States.” So, Mom did her research on YouTube, and found it could be done in the U.S. In Cleveland, in fact. She found Dr. Michael Salata, an orthopedic surgeon and team physician for the Cleveland Browns who is the director of joint preservation and cartilage restoration center at the UH Cleveland Medical Center. After two months of waiting, Dr. Salata went in on March 30, 2017. “Everyone has advised that this was no normal knee surgery,” McGee said. “It was going to be a rough hard road. When Dr. Salata got inside her knee he found what was not seen on MRI — a 50 percent whole tear from dislocations that required cell stem recovery with everything else to be repaired. “We were just hoping for a recovery where she could live a normal life and do normal things at this time. We weren’t even thinking about playing sports. It was a long hard road. Last season, Delanie golfed a 36 and now is now a player on Waite girls basketball team. Then, she is getting ready for softball,” McGee continued. A role model’s influence McGee believes it was her daughter’s role models that kept her going. “As they say in The Blind Side movie, thank goodness for (role model) Lawrence Taylor. I thank goodness for (WNBA standout point guard) Skylar Diggins-Smith. Delaney has worked very hard and deserves a medal for what she’s been through. No one will ever know how much, but it will make her a bigger player on the course and on the floor.” Notheis’ relationship with DigginsSmith goes beyond being a role model. “I love her. She’s my idol, role model, mentor, everything,” Notheis said. “I’ve been to her camps every year. When my knee got injured, she was texting me about it because she had just torn her ACL, so she kind of knows what I’ve been through and she is just amazing — a great person. She went to Notre Dame and Notre Dame is my favorite school ever.” After her surgery, Notheis, a 3.0-plus student, went through rehabilitation at East Pointe Physical Therapy in Oregon. Even

She still has cells growing in a lab in Washington. It is a great story for anyone who wants to quit. I’ve seen so many older people with knee replacement, but hers was four times that. She didn’t give up. She came back fighting. Stem cell replacement is a wonderful thing. No one thought she’d be here. “She has been through more in a year than most people go through in a lifetime. She came back fighting to play the sport she loved the most — basketball. But that may not be what they recommend since her college ride is in golf. But she loves the sport that took her down to come back and play.” Rebuilding confidence Notheis golfed for Clay coach Kevin Crosson before transferring to Waite this

school year. Now, she hopes to golf collegiately. “Even though she didn’t get to golf last year, schools are still calling, such as Lourdes,” McGee said. Notheis began golfing at an early age through the East Toledo Family Center’s Tee-It-Up program. “I remember doing the little leagues where they gave me a set of clubs at the Family Center,” Notheis said. “My grandma worked at Whiteford Valley Golf Course, so I was always out there every day. After she passed, I just really wanted to succeed in golf for her. She wanted me to do that.” However, Notheis says basketball remains her favorite sport and she has a smooth shooting touch from beyond the three-point arc. Even Waite basketball coach Manny May remembers Notheis when she first appeared on the court as an eighth grader. She

began playing the game at the East Toledo Family Center while in second grade. “Her freshman year she was a phenomenal basketball player,” May said. “I remember when she was young. She used to come into the gym and work on her game in the eighth grade, and she went to Clay, and she was excelling. Then this set her back. She’s just trying to overcome her obstacles.” Now that May has her on the varsity, he is doing the best he can to restore Notheis’ confidence. “The coaching staff here is really great,” Notheis said. “They push me. I am kind of scared that I will hurt my knee again, but they tell me that nothing is going to happen, so that helps.” An inexperienced Waite team has just three wins, but May considers Notheis, a 5-8 guard/wing, part of the program’s future. “We’ve got two seniors, so with her and our underclassmen we’re trying to improve them to get them over some of their fears. With her, we’re trying to get her over injury and get better so she can step in and be in the role of a leader,” May said. May explains that rebuilding her confidence will take time. “Looking at her, not just basketball-wise, because we talk, but with her and the things that happened to her and the injuries that she had — for her to even get back on the court is phenomenal,” May said. “She was in the weight room on a regular basis early in the season. We were taking it light on her, and then she got fully released, but I’m still going to coach you and push you through whatever. I know she experienced some things, but I’m going to push her to get her over her fear. Her biggest fear is probably, ‘Will I go through that again?’ “She is a walking miracle to play basketball again and go at it. So, she has to take full advantage of that and not let anything hinder or stop her from doing things. So, she’s at practice every day and I’m going to get everything I can out of her these next couple years to make her become the person she is supposed to be, whether it’s playing college basketball at the college level or playing golf, or being a better person in life. That’s what it’s really about to me — going to college and being a better person in life. I’m trying to get to that point,” May continued. “She started early in the season but I was starting to see she is still a little bit hesitant or timid, so I’m taking her more off the bench more and getting her a couple quarters on JV to ease her back into basketball, and I’m still doing that right now to get her confidence up. She needs to shoot the ball a little bit more and be more aggressive and not be as timid because she has athletic skill and she knows the game of basketball. It’s just about decision making to get her over her hurdle of this injury. It has only been so long since post-op and she started rehab for her to get ready to playing basketball again.”

Chinese Student Ambassadors visit Northwest Ohio By Deb Wallace Special to The Press news@presspublications.com On Saturday, Jan. 13, 38 students and three teachers from China arrived at the Detroit airport to begin their three-week stay in the U.S. The group of students and teachers were divided into four smaller groups, with one group going to each of four area middle schools. The schools participating in the American Cultural Exchange Service (ACES) Youth Ambassador Exchange (YAE) this year include Woodmore, Fassett (Oregon), Rossford and Jefferson (Whitmer). This is the seventh year of the program and the second year that Woodmore has participated in it. This year, there are nine students and one teacher at Woodmore. On Monday, Jan. 22, this group attended the Woodville village council meeting and were given a welcome/history letter along with a Woodville flag pin, and Mayor Richard Harman read a proclamation. Other things the students and teachers will do while visiting the U.S. include visiting Imagination Station Toledo and the Challenger Learning Center, taking a behind-the-scenes visit at the Toledo Zoo, bowling and roller skating parties, and any other activities the host families decide to do.
Additionally the students will participate in talent shows at their respective schools to show off their skills in instrumental music, singing, dance and other talents. The purpose of the Chinese Ambassadors is to share their Chinese culture with their host families, learn more about American culture and American ways of teaching, and to improve their conversational English skills. The Ambassadors pay their own way for the visit and bring money with them to purchase souvenirs of their visit. The group at Woodmore brought a gift of chopsticks to give to the members of council during their visit to the meeting. A few other things the Chinese students and teachers have or will experience on their visit is an American potluck dinner shortly after their arrival. They will all participate in a graduation ceremony before they head home to China Feb. 4. One host family is James and Rebecca Taylor of Woodville, who are hosting students, “Alisa� Keying Fan and “Krystal� Zeyu Shang. (The students and teachers pick their own American name to use while they are here.) The Taylors are a firstyear host family for this program and have considered hosting a year-long exchange student. When they were approached by Danielle Horner (local coordinator for ACES) about this three-week program, they thought it would be a good opportunity for
them. While there are certainly many ups and downs in hosting foreign students, according to the Taylors, the best parts are introducing them to our culture, and learning about theirs, such as foods, using chopsticks and other customs. They said their biggest challenge as a host family is “limiting the kids use of their cell phones.� The Taylors say Krystal and Alisa have enjoyed family activities such as tae kwon do lessons and trying ballet, hip hop and tumbling. The girls also have enjoyed watching a middle school basketball game, trying new foods, and playing games like Uno and Yahtzee. Additionally they really enjoyed seeing the recent ice formations on Lake Erie in Port Clinton. Sean and Stephanie Rizor, also of Woodville, are hosting “Wendy� Jiaqi Wang. As another first-year host family, Rizor said, “It wasn’t quite what we expected, but then I’m not necessarily sure that you can put an expectation on cultural differences.� They decided to host because their youngest daughter is in the sixth grade had has several shared interests with Wendy. The biggest challenges for them were the language barrier and their student being a bit homesick on the trip, Rizor said. He added that Google Translate was helpful when communicating with their student, whose English has improved some as well.
“We could not imagine only being 12 years old and being sent to another country for several weeks away from your parents with a limited ability to communicate,� he said. According to the Rizors, one of the best things about being a host family is getting to see America through their students eyes. As it turns out, Wendy is a big NBA fan, and they were able to take her to a Cleveland Cavaliers game where she watched the team win. She was also able to buy some things to take back home with her. This activity, along with visiting Sky Zone, meeting the kids at school, and going shopping have been the favorite parts of this trip for her, Rizor said. Valerie Virag, regional director for ACES, said that the group as a whole enjoys visiting the parks, seeing the zoo animals and visiting Imagination Station. When asked about the process of becoming a host family, Virag said that applicants must love kids, enjoy learning a new culture, have an extra bed and feed the kids meals in their homes. Potential families fill out a hosting application, complete an online criminal background check, which ACES pays for, and have a home interview where pictures of the home are taken per State Department requirement. To learn more about the program, call Virag at 419-466-7074 or email valviragsiec@aol.com.

Stencel puts it all on the line for Chips By Bruce Hefflinger Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com When goals are immense, the prospect of reaching that coveted dream involves a lot of ambition, determination and hard work. That is certainly the case for Matt Stencel, the former state wrestling champion from Clay High School who is now wrestling at Central Michigan University. “My goal is to win a national championship the next four years,” Stencel said without hesitation. Now a redshirt freshman, Stencel had high expectations upon arriving at CMU after winning state titles in Ohio at 195 in 2015 and 220 in 2016. But the three-time state placer at Clay is now competing collegiately at heavyweight and that is a whole new obstacle. “I never wrestled heavyweight before,” noted Stencel, a member of the USA Dream Team in 2016 after winning his second state title. The Clay graduate began battling big men a year ago when he competed unattached in open tournaments, finishing with a 13-6 record. “Right now I’m learning the style,” Stencel explained about his first year at heavyweight in the Chippewas’ lineup. “I’ve come a long way since I’ve gone up.” Stencel is 22-11 on the year and ranked fourth in the Mid-American Conference. He is 3-1 in the MAC and has a 9-1 record in dual meets with a team-leading 12 falls (pins), one technical fall and two major decisions. Just last week, No. 3 ranked Missouri won eight matches — one by pin, two by major decision — in handing No. 17 Central Michigan a 29-6 loss in a MAC dual meet. However, it was Stencel who was one of the few Chippewa winners. The loss ended CMU’s dual win streak at four and left the Chippewas at 5-4 overall, 2-1 in the MAC. Missouri is 15-0, 6-0. However, Stencel posted a 9-2 victory over Jake Bohlken to close the night. “We have to get better to be able to compete with them, that’s all there is to it,” CMU coach Tom Borrelli said. “You can’t take anything away from them. They’re good. I think we’re a little better than the way we performed. We’ve got to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off. We can’t hang our head or anything like that.” While the move to a higher weight class brings a change for Stencel, it is beneficial for a team that is ranked 17th in the country. It is something that does not surprise Ralph Cubberly, his wrestling coach while at Clay. “Matt always put the team outcome ahead of his own personal achievements,” Cubberly said. “If we needed a pin from Matt to win a match he worked until he got it rather than just coasting to a win. He is all about the team which is what you want from all athletes.” Key performer Stencel has been a key performer of late for the Chippewas. In the Mid-American Conference opener with Northern Illinois, Stencel recorded his ninth pin, a 36-second fall, the eighth time an opponent has been decked by Stencel in the first period this season. “Things are going well, it’s a big learning curve,” Stencel said. “I’m just trusting the process and working hard every day to
Central Michigan wrestler Matt Stencel. (courtesy CMU athletics) get better for March.” The improvement is obvious. In another match, Stencel used a takedown with less than 10 seconds remaining for a 4-3 decision of Purdue’s Shawn Streck, the 14th-rated heavyweight in the country. Streck had beaten Stencel twice earlier in the season at the Michigan State Open, one on a fall. “There is a lot higher intensity,” Stencel said of wrestling in college. “I just trust the coaches and believe in what we’re doing.” That belief is working as evident by his most recent success in helping Central Michigan beat Purdue, which came into the match rated 19th by the National Wrestling Coaches Association. Stencel, who weighs in between 255 and 260, is finding there is a huge difference between wrestling in high school and college. “The hammerlock turn on top still works, it’s just tougher to get locked up and hold them against the bigger guys,” Stencel pointed out about a key move used at Clay. Wrestling at heavyweight rather than a lower weight is also quite a change, as Stencel admits. “It’s much harder to score points,” Stencel said. “You have to hold your position better and you can’t take a shot and expect to wrestle out of it with that kind of weight. You need to be smarter and hand

fight when you attack. “It’s not so much about moves, but about holding your position,” Stencel continued about the strategy of wrestling at heavyweight. “You must do things the correct way or they will not work. You don’t want to get stuck underneath. Getting stuck under happened a lot last year and in the practice room. You learn you can’t wrestle your way out of it.” There was no worry for that in a high school career with plenty of highlights, including a record of 184-18. “Winning two Fargo titles, two state championships and holding the state record for most consecutive falls in the state of Ohio my senior year,” Stencel said when questioned about his most memorable individual accomplishments at Clay. As a senior, Stencel recorded 36 straight pins and 40 on the season. “Matt was a hard worker that understood what he had to do to accomplish his goals, not only from an athletic standpoint but also an academic standpoint,” Cubberly said. At Central Michigan, the goals are even higher. As Stencel understands, reaching them will take a lot of hard work. “I came here with very high expectations as a big recruit,” Stencel said. “But I’m excited for the future. What we’re doing is about having the confidence to get the job done come March.”
The Press Box Five inductees joining hockey hall of fame The Toledo Hockey Hall of Fame Committee, has announced inductees to the 2018 class. • Dave Falkenberg- defenseman (Goaldiggers: 1979-86) • Bill Inglis- head coach (Goaldiggers: 1980-84) • Jim McCabe- forward (Goaldiggers: 1974-80) • Bill “Red” Mitchell- defenseman/ Head Coach (Mercurys: 1952-62; Blades: 1964-68; Hornets: 1970-71) • Andy Mulligan- defenseman/coach/ general manager (Babcocks: 1940-41; Mercurys: 1947-62; Buckeyes: 1949-50) “Dave Falkenberg displayed a great combination of scoring and toughness. Bill Inglis followed in the footsteps of legendary Goaldiggers coach Ted Garvin with two Turner Cup championships. ‘The Tin Man’ Jim McCabe, was known for his scoring and great sportsmanship. Bill Mitchell’s impact was felt over three decades and three different teams, and we wouldn’t have such a rich hockey tradition here in Toledo without the tremendous contributions by Andy Mulligan,” says Neil Neukam, Toledo Walleye Executive Vice President and General Manager. Falkenberg was a defenseman from Red Deer, Alberta who racked up more points in a Goaldiggers jersey than any other player (177 goals, 261 assists, 438 points). He played seven seasons in Toledo, and helped the Goaldiggers win back-toback Turner Cups in 1982 and 1983. Inglis, an Ottawa, Ontario native played in 36 career National Hockey League games and was the Buffalo Sabres head coach during the 1978-79 season. Inglis guided the Goaldiggers as head coach for four seasons (1980-84), including back-to-back Turner Cup Championships in 1982 and 1983. The quest for three straight fell short in the 1984 Turner Cup Finals. McCabe, a center from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, played in six seasons in Toledo (1974-79), helping the Goaldiggers win Turner Cup titles in 1975 and 1978. McCabe is second on the all-time Goaldiggers scoring list, with 169 goals with 236 assists in 429 regular season games. Mitchell, a defenseman from Port Dalhousie, Ontario, played 13 seasons in Toledo. He scored 110 goals with 249 assists in a Toledo uniform. Mitchell also served as head coach of the Toledo Blades in 1969-70 and Toledo Hornets in 1970-71. Mulligan, a Winnipeg, Manitoba native, is considered one of the “founding fathers” of hockey in Toledo. He played one season with the Toledo’s first semi-pro team, the Babcocks. He was the first head coach and longtime general manager of the Mercurys, building three International Hockey League Turner Cup Championship teams (1948, 1951, 1952). After the Mercurys folded in 1962, he became commissioner of the IHL from 1962-67.

Big night results in two major milestones By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It’s only fitting that a standout player and a successful coach would reach milestones in the same game. That way, they can celebrate together. With Oak Harbor’s 55-42 victory over Vermilion, Tom Kontak recorded his 200th career victory and Logan Harris scored the 1,000th point of her career. Kontak has gone 109-30 in six seasons at Oak Harbor and accumulated a 91-44 record at Genoa before that. Collectively, he holds a record of 200-74, good for a winning percentage of .730. Twice he has been named Ohio’s Coach of the Year for his efforts and he’s won the Alan Miller Jewelers’ All-Press Coach of the Year Award for five consecutive years. Meanwhile, the Rockets have reached new heights during his time in Oak Harbor. “Six years ago, (Oak Harbor athletic director/administrators) Drew Grahl and Keith Thorbahn took a big chance (on me). I appreciate the opportunity to have come in and made a difference. What we do is less about basketball and more about passion, accountability and team play. If you’re going to be successful at anything, you’ve got to surround yourself with good people,” said Kontak. “What these kids have done here over the six years is average 18 to 19 wins per season. We’re able to share that with a lot of people. I want to look at it from the big picture and share it with people I care about. I’ve been fortunate to have some really good basketball players and great coaches who are passionate and who have high standards and demands. I think that’s why we’ve gotten where we are. “Personally, I enjoy the fact that it’s been pretty consistent at a pretty high level. We’ve been able to maintain a high standard of play. That doesn’t happen without great players. I’d like to think no matter the talent level of each individual that they’ve gone up another notch,” Kontak continued. “It’s all about the culture and the people. I want (my players) to care so much to

Harris is currently averaging 20.1 points and 9.7 assists. Last year, she was named the All-Press Player of the Year. “It’s a big accomplishment.

University of Findlay. “I think it’s pretty cool to be able to say (we both achieved milestones) on the same night.” Her love for the game began while she was young. She says her driving force was former Oak Harbor and Woodmore coach Don Christie, who played for the Rockets’ 1983 Class AA state runner-up team. “My love of the sport started in second and third grade going to my brother’s practices. I was always taller, but I was not coordinated at all. Don Christie helped me with the shooting camps during the summer. In sixth or seventh grade, I realized I wanted to play basketball in college.”

The Hebrew phrase “tikkun olam” literally means “repair of the world,” and is found in the Mishnah, a work of classical rabbinic teaching that was compiled in the third century. The basic idea behind tikkun olam is that we should improve the world through acts of social justice and simple acts of loving kindness. The modern world is as much in need of repair as the ancient world. Tribal divisions, whether of nationstates, ethnic groups or different religions, continue to foster wars, genocide, and acts of terrorism. Tikkun olam advises individuals to work at repairing these divisions. It is also obvious that the world may need to be physically repaired, whether because of damage wreaked by earthquakes or hurricanes, or because of
Oregon
the damage done by war or human neglect. We have not always taken good care of our planet, and it is a sign of gratitude for us to work to repair it. One way to think about tikkun olam is that God has entered into a covenant with His creatures. God has given us a beautiful world, a garden of earthly delights, but He requires that we care for this garden, including all its inhabitants. We are instruments in the struggle between good and evil, and not simply observers. How will you contribute to the great task of repairing the world? “Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving you.”—Deuteronomy 16:20 NIV

As Wamer runs the show, Eagles find win column By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Reese Wamer is getting more and more comfortable in his role with Clay’s basketball team this season, and he’s bringing the rest of the Eagles with him. In three of his last four games, Wamer, a 5-foot-11 junior point guard, scored 31 points in an 83-81 double-overtime win over Waite on Jan. 9, scored a career-high 32 points in an 81-74 win over Bowsher on Jan. 16, and scored 26 points last Friday in the Eagles’ 61-57 victory over Fremont Ross, the Eagles’ first win in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference this season. Wamer leads Clay in scoring average (14.6 pts.), rebounds (6.1), assists (4.9) and steals (2.6). He’s also shooting 53 percent from the field, including 70 percent in the last two games. “He’s our everything,” Clay coach Dave Rodriquez said. “We put the ball in his hands and expect him to make plays and make the right decisions. I said it before and I’ll say it again: I think he’s the best point guard in the TRAC, and he hasn’t proven me wrong. He has a bulls-eye on his back and he has to trust his teammates more. He’s bought into it and he understands it now. These last four games, he’s been phenomenal.” The Eagles, who won just two games last season, entered Friday’s conference game at Whitmer (10-3, 6-1) with a 6-9 overall record and a 1-6 mark in the TRAC. It might not sound like much, but consider that Clay had not won six games in a season since 2007-08, when it won eight. “This team has more offensive weapons that last year, and our man-to-defense is way better than last year,” Wamer said. “We have better defenders and we believe we can beat our man and stop them from scoring.” Wamer said the reason for his increased scoring output is because he’s becoming more aggressive attacking his opponents and the basket. He also admitted to being in the shooter’s “zone” of late. “If my field-goal percentage is high, I can keep shooting and attacking and keep

(Press photo by Scott Grau) scoring,” Wamer said. “Being in a zone, you feel like you can’t miss and everything’s going to go in, even the contact layups are gonna go in. I’ve been in a zone the last couple games; hopefully I can do that the rest of the season.” While Wamer, the starting quarterback on the football team, is aware that he leads the Eagles in four categories, he said the one he’s most proud of is his assists average. As for his scoring, he credited Clay’s

post players with helping to open driving lanes for the guards. “I like to share the ball with my teammates,” Wamer said. “I’ve always been kind of a pass-first kind of dude. I have better shooters and better scorers around me this year and I trust these guys. I’m closer to the dudes on this team and I know if I pass them the ball, they can make a shot. The coaches emphasize trusting my teammates and believing they can make any shot.”
Rodriguez said that while everyone on the team follows Wamer’s lead, the junior has been more vocal this season but he still prefers to lead by example. “He goes with flow,” Rodriguez said. “He’s not a big rah-rah guy. He knows the one person who has to trust him is me. When he makes a mistake, I don’t get on him, I let him go. I told him over the summer that I’m giving him the keys to the car. He’s playing phenomenal and he’s fun to watch. He’s one of the most competitive kids I’ve ever coached.” The Eagles are a much improved shooting team this season – they’re connecting on 35 percent of their shots from 3-point range – and Rodriguez said their positive attitude has made a big difference. “The kids’ confidence has been night and day from last year,” Rodriguez said. “They have bought in and they want to win. All of these guys are good friends. They pull for each together and they have accepted their roles. We started out with 11 of our first 14 games on the road. That’s tough when you’re trying to build a program, but it’s made our team closer.” Wamer hasn’t had many down moments this season, but one of them occurred in the win over Waite. He shot 1-for-10 from the free-throw line against the Indians, but he bounced back and made 14-of-18 against Ross. “I like to focus on how we won the game,” Wamer said. “Every now and then I think about that free-throw shooting and how I can’t shoot that bad from the line, because it’s a free shot. I proved that from the line against Fremont. It felt good to see the free throws go in.” The rest of Clay’s schedule isn’t easy, but Wamer said he’s confident the team will finish strong. “If we compete at a high level, we can compete with anyone in the TRAC,” Wamer said. “We’ve definitely gotten better at 3-point shooting and free throws, and we’re not turning the ball over that much. I take pride in that, because taking care of the ball means more possessions. We’re winning more games than last year and we’ve been in more games, and I feel we can pull some out and get some more wins.”

Despite adversity, DeStazio’s Comets giving all they got
“
By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
Tatum is a blue-collar basketball player, a pretty tough kid.
“
Genoa’s girls basketball team has had to overcome injuries and inexperience this season, but eighth-year coach Mike DeStazio said the Comets aren’t as far away to turning the corner as some may think. Genoa has no seniors on the roster, and its lone junior starter is 5-foot-11 wing Sasha Roberts. “I believe in two years we can be pretty good,” DeStazio said. “You cycle (players) at small schools and that’s kind of what we’re doing right now. I love coaching these kids. We’ve seen a lot of improvement but we don’t see wins and losses. When we leave a game, we might not have won it but we want to be competitive. That’s what our goal has been.” The Comets fell to 3-11 and 1-8 in the Northern Buckeye Conference following Tuesday’s 66-39 loss to visiting Eastwood (11-4, 7-2). Roberts, a player DeStazio called “my true leader in our program,” has been a bright spot this season. Roberts leads the team in rebounding, with 12.4 per game, and averages 7.1 points. “She is by far the most athletic kid in the program,” DeStazio said. “She plays anywhere on the floor on offense and defense. Scoring points is not really what she’s about. It’s her ability to play great defense and be a great rebounder. She never complains. She just puts the blue collar on every game and works hard. She could
player, a pretty tough kid,” DeStazio said. “She’s averaging 8.1 rebounds a game and she’s 5-foot-6. Just a hard-nosed kid. She’s finally taking basketball as one of her favorite sports and she’s working on it. She’s a big-time soccer player and now we see her shot improving and her ability to handle the basketball is better. She will continue to get better.” Cruickshank, a point guard, leads the team with 11.4 points per game after scoring 18 against Eastwood. Tess Neumann averages 4.6 points. “Caitlin is going to be a tremendous player because of her work ethic,” DeStazio said. “She’s a very good shooter and she’s really playing out of position at point guard. She’s more of two-guard, but we have to put her at the point because of injuries. She works as hard as anybody I’ve ever coached and she has all the tools. She could play at the next level somewhere. “Tess has kind of been fed to the lions, so to speak. She wasn’t really quite ready for varsity as a starter, but we had to put her at that spot due to injuries. She’s athletic and the more time she puts in, the better player she’s going to be.” The rest of the roster includes junior wing Lexi Wiciak, sophomore post Darcy Goodman and sophomore guard Caitlin Gose. “Lexi is new to the program this year and is getting better every day,” DeStazio said. “Darcy has a lot of potential if she works hard in the offseason, and Caitlin has done a tremendous job helping at the varsity with all the injuries.”

become one of the top five players in the league next season, but she needs to put in some time in the offseason.” Genoa lost sophomore starting guard Rylee Fredericksen to a torn ACL on Jan. 2. Fredericksen was averaging nearly eight points and more than six rebounds a game before her season ended. Sophomore guard Kendall Gerke, a returning starter, suffered a sprained MCL in the second game this season and returned to game action on Jan. 9. DeStazio said Gerke, who is playing about 16 minutes a game, is “probably the most athletic basketball kid I have on the team.” Gerke was the Comets’ leading scorer prior to her injury. “Kendall was scoring 10, 11, 12 points a game and we’ve been missing that for eight or nine games,” DeStazio said. “And, she’s probably our best defender.” Genoa’s other starters include sophomore wing Tatum Neumann, who averages 10.7 points a game, and freshman guards Caitlin Cruickshank and Tess Neumann, who is Tatum’s sister. “Tatum is a blue-collar basketball

district will be exceeding Environmental Protection Agency regulations with the replacement project “Although it’s not yet required by EPA, the district feels it’s a priority to replace all lead service lines. We already replace any lead service line that requires maintenance,” he said. “The district expedited this project and with the support of a lowinterest loan from the Ohio EPA, we will be able to replace all of these lines this year.” A map showing the project area is available on the district website. Maps identifying lead service lines across the state were released last year by the Ohio EPA. At the time, Ohio had 1,878 Ohio public drinking water systems that were required to submit the maps by last March as part of drinking water reforms. Dina Pierce, a spokesman for the Ohio EPA, said the district loan is being finalized and the interest rate will be determined based on the going market rate at the time the loan is issued.

Theresa Pollick, a spokesman for the district, said 322 service lines have been identified for replacement with most located in sections of Rossford and western Northwood where older infrastructure is in place. In Northwood, the homes and buildings being serviced are bounded by W. Florence, Oregon, Tracy and Wales roads. The villages of Millbury and Walbridge do not have lead service lines, she said.
