Wood County Planning Commission

Forum is set for grant program

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Wood County Planning Commission has scheduled a public forum for next month to hear project proposals eligible for funding from the Community Development Block Grant program.

The forum will be held March 7 at 6 p.m. in the Wood County commissioners meeting room at One Courthouse Square in Bowling Green.

The commission has sent letters to elected officials throughout the county, requesting they be prepared to report on their project ideas for 2018. A nine-page survey to determine the condition of each entity’s infrastructure systems and public facilities was included with the letters.

Since 2015, the Ohio Development Services Agency, which administers the CDBG program, has used what is called the Community Development Implementation Strategy in determining what projects are best suited for funding.

“For CDBG funding consideration, the proposed activities must be designed to

“

The state also doesn’t allow grant funds to assist water tapins unless there’s an environmental danger associated with it.

“

Northwood City Council at a meeting earlier this month established the city as an Energy Special Improvement District (ESID).

The designation allows the city to apply for low interest loans for energy efficient projects. Businesses can also apply for funding to invest in energy upgrades.

The loans can cover a variety of energy projects, including high efficiency furnaces, windows and insulation, and alternative energy devices. It also allows repayment of the loan via property tax assessments over a period of years.

Northwood plans to make $70,000 in energy efficiency retrofits to some city owned buildings, including lighting upgrades to the municipal complex and the old fire station on Andrus Road, according to Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson, who is representing Northwood on the board of directors of the Northwest Ohio Advanced Energy Improvement District.

“We’re using it as another economic development tool,” said Anderson. As a result of a study, the city will save over $150,000 to make the upgrades, he added.

“We’re going to save enough money as a result of the upgrades to pay the loan back over a period of three and a half years,” he said.

One of the objectives of establishing the ESID is that it will help businesses and municipalities lower the costs of heating, cooling and lighting in their buildings.

“In order for Northwood to join the district, we had to have a pilot project. So we decided we’d make ourselves the first project and improve all the lighting in our buildings,” said Anderson.

“Now that we are a district, businesses can approach the Northwest Ohio Advanced Energy Improvement District and apply for a loan and make their own

primarily benefit low and moderate income persons, aid in the elimination of slum and blight conditions or address an urgent need (such as tornado/flood damage),” the letter says.

Following the forum, the county will compile the information from the communities and prepare an assessment.

Dave Steiner, director of the county planning commission, said projects will

be ranked according to their feasibility, whether they address public health and safety and the number of people affected.

The county didn’t receive funding in 2017, he said, but in 2016 CDBG funds were used for an Americans with Disability Act restroom project in the Village of North Baltimore, a waterline replacement in the Village of Bradner, a door at the senior center in the Village of Walbridge and for assisting with costs to tap into a new sanitary sewer system in the Village of Bairdstown.

If the county adopted a regional water system format, as has been discussed, it likely wouldn’t be eligible for CDBG funding, he said, because the grants have to benefit service areas where the population is mostly low to moderate income.

The state also doesn’t allow grant funds to assist water tap-ins unless there’s an environmental danger associated with it,” Steiner said.

Steiner’s letter was read Tuesday during the meeting of the Lake Township trustees.

Trustees Jeff Pettit and Richard Welling said they doubted the township would qualify for a CDBG-funded project.

Tireman at the former Woodville Mall comes down

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The vacated Tireman store at the former Woodville Mall site was razed on Monday.

The Andersons and Elder-Beerman stores, the only buildings that remain on the property, are next.

“The mall is finally coming down,” City Administrator Bob Anderson said to The Press last week. “Tireman no longer stands. Andersons is still up, but it’s next on the list. Most of the material has been removed from the interior. They are also still working inside the Elder-Beerman store. By the time the Andersons is torn down, ElderBeerman will be ready.”

The Sears building has already been torn down, though it still owns the property where the store once stood. The city is hoping to acquire it so there is better control to market the site to future developers.

“Seeing that the city is the primary footprint owner, in a perfect world, we’d get the Sears property,” said Glenn Grisdale, the city’s economic development consultant. “When we have complete site control, we can do whatever we want to,” he added, including splitting up the parcel for development.

Cleanup The main mall structure was razed in 2014 due to structural issues. The city acquired the property at a sheriff’s sale in February 2016 for $200,000. Since then, it has been cleaning up the site, including the removal of asbestos. The site included 50,000 square feet of asbestos remaining material tiles, and 771,844 square feet of spray on asbestos containing material insulation covering the entire footprint of the buildings, concrete walls, I-beams, ceiling tiles, hard plaster ceilings, and floors.

The site was deemed too expensive for the private sector to fix. The city has undertaken every action possible leading up to remediating the site, including acquiring all of the property except the 10 acre Sears parcel. It also received a state loan from the Ohio Water Development Board to help pay for demolition services and asbestos abatement, estimated to cost $4.2 million.

With the cleanup nearly complete, the city hasn’t yet decided whether the 100 acre site should be used for commercial, industrial, or residential development.

Residents who attended a meeting on the matter last month voted in favor of a combination.

The city hired Brian McMahon, a real estate broker at Danbury National, to market the site.

Residents filled city council chambers on Jan. 25 to listen to economic development ideas from Grisdale. Residents also provided feedback on their preferences.

Tireman is razed and The Andersons and Elder-Beerman are next. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) More meetings Anderson said there are more meetings scheduled as the city moves forward on getting the site ready for development.

“We will be talking again when we get more positive ideas,” said Anderson.

“We’ve been working on some concept drawings that shows what is possible at the site. A lot of people are visually oriented.

That will help Brian market it.”

The city will continue to seek community feedback, refine the site planning process, align community tools and resources to maximize site readiness, and market the site to interests that are well matched to the community’s desires and market realities, he said.

“I didn’t know if we were going to get just a few people or a lot of residents to show up at the meeting. I’m very happy with all the people who showed up,” said Anderson. “Everyone was positive. We

now have to start sharpening the focus a little bit.”

Anderson doubted the site would be developed for an industrial facility.

“I just don’t see it,” he said. “You have to have investors. If Brian comes up with a big investor, we’ll see. The city is very willing to deal with the right person who wants the property.”

“At the end of the day,” said McMahon, “I think the task is to find the highest and best use that will generate the best return for investment that the city has made.

We’re very early in that process.”

Whatever ends up going in, the city will provide support, he said.

“We’re in a position to help people with the cost of land, provide some tax incentives, and then get out of the way.”

McMahon said at the meeting that some developers have expressed an interest in the property. He expects more serious inquiries once the property becomes “site ready.”

“Most of the people looking at this – kicking the tires, if you will – are going to wait until the site is really ready. I think that’s going to happen very quickly,” said McMahon. “The sooner that happens, the quicker we’re going to get interest from the state of Ohio. That is a very important partner. In economic development, there is an entity called `Jobs Ohio.’ We’ve met with them already. We’ve had some dialogue.

And there will be additional meetings with them.”

Commercial Anderson said he could envision some roads getting built on the property to accommodate residential and small commercial development or strip malls.

“It will probably be a combination of the two,” he said.

More EMS staff hired for Lake Township

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com More personnel for the Emergency Medical Services unit in Lake Township have been hired, bringing the township closer to meeting the goal of having the unit operating in the first quarter of the year.

The township trustees Tuesday approved the hiring of 10 more part-time paramedics and emergency medical technicians. Chad Lowry, Wendy Waisner, William Hartford, Dalton Giesige, Dillon Flick, Jason Sallows, Tom Gilson and Mike Sharp were hired as paramedics at $15 an hour. Cuyler Kepling and Brian Groves were hired as emergency medical techni-

cians at $11.75 an hour.

They will be on probation for one year.

At a previous meeting, the trustees approved the hiring of Kevin Sanders, a lieutenant and paramedic with the fire department, as the township’s full-time EMS coordinator. Five paramedics and two emergency medical technicians were also hired earlier this month.

“We’re getting quality people,” Bruce Moritz, township fire chief, said Tuesday.

A contract between the township and LifeStar for the service ends in March and township officials plan to have paramedics in place before the agreement expires, Mark Hummer, township administrator and police chief, said.

Under the township agreement with

LifeStar, the company provides two paramedics for each shift and the township provides an emergency vehicle and equipment and houses the on-duty personnel at the administration building on Cummings Road.

Other personnel matters were also approved Tuesday by the trustees. They accepted the resignation of Scott Ousky, a 25-year member of the fire department, who is retiring, and approved the hiring of Brian Amer as a road utility worker. Amer previously worked in the Village of Walbridge.

The trustees also approved changing the rank of firefighter Ray Lee from battalion chief to firefighter/medic. Chief Moritz said he’s been promoted at his fulltime job with the Toledo Fire Department and will have more time constraints.

Money forfeiture upheld by appeals court

By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals has rejected a request by a man seeking the return of money seized during an October 2015 traffic stop on I-280 by Northwood police officers.

The appeals court last week upheld a decision by the Wood County Common Pleas court denying the motion of Terrell Travis to have the money returned.

According to court records, authorities filed for forfeiture of the money in May 2016, alleging that a K-9 unit detected

a “target odor” on the currency and that Travis said there was no paper trail for the money.

The filings say the dog named Dark “positively and objectively provided a trained final response to the U.S. Currency, indicating that Dark had detected one or more target odors emanating from that U.S. Currency.” It says the money was “recently in contact with heroin, cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and/or their respective derivatives.”

The forfeiture filing also noted Travis had been indicted November 2015 by the Seneca County Grand Jury of several counts

of drug trafficking and was ultimately sentenced to prison for seven years. The seized money, authorities argued, was contraband from the offenses.

In his appeal, Travis argued his guilty pleas in Seneca County were unrelated to the money and that 90 percent of paper money in circulation contains drug residue.

The appeal also contended the common pleas court erred when it wouldn’t accept a motion to intervene by a Findlay, woman, Karen Wright, who said she’d given the money to Travis to purchase a vehicle in Bowling Green and deliver it to her.

Tire recycling event set Wood County residents are encouraged to properly dispose of their used farm and semi tires during a special collection event.

Pre-registration is required and may be completed by calling the Wood County Solid Waste Management District office at 419-354-9297, March 5 through March 9.

A limit of five farm/semi tires per resident will be accepted at no charge. Prior to calling, please note the number, type, and size of tires you would like to recycle. After registering, you will be provided the date and location of the event and a scheduled drop-off time. Proof of Wood County residency will be required and will be checked at the entrance. This event is for residential customers only. No agri-businesses.

Limited Ohio Environmental Protection Agency grant funding is available.

Registration will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. This event is made possible through a grant received by the Wood County Solid Waste Management District, a Wood County Commissioners’ Department, from the OEPA. Partner agencies include the Wood Soil & Water Conservation District, the Wood County Health District, the Wood County Fair Board, and the Wood County Sheriff’s Office.

Residents are discouraged from storing used tires on their properties as they create an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes; become homes for vermin, insects, and pests; and have the potential of igniting fire hazards. Those unable to dispose of their tires during this event are encouraged to visit www.recyclewoodcounty.org for a list of locations accepting tires on a daily basis for proper recycling and disposal.

Northwood project will improve energy efficiency Continued from front page

Legislation In June, 2010, the Ohio Legislature passed a bill that allows for the establishment of ESIDs. Property owners within the district can pay for energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements on their properties by way of special assessments.

The process is voluntary. Property owners are not required to participate.

In 2010, the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority and the City of Toledo were awarded a $15 million U.S. Department of Energy Better Building Program grant, which aims to implement the wide-scale use of energy efficiency and alternative energy practices and solutions in commercial, governmental and industrial facilities throughout the region. The following year, the Port petitioned Toledo to create an ESID. On July 19, 2012, the corporation’s board of directors approved adding Oregon to the district and agreed to jointly petition the city to approve an expansion of the district to encompass the geographical boundaries of the city.

Toledo created its own ESID in 2011.

Other communities in the area that have active districts include Maumee, Perrysburg, Sylvania and Sylvania Township.

Some of the energy upgrades that can be funded through ESID funding include solar thermal electric, solar thermal process heat, solar water heat, wind, biomass, geothermal direct-use energy, and geothermal heat pumps.

“

The primary goal is to encourage businesses to invest in projects that would otherwise be hard for them to justify.

“

improvements,� he said. “So if Marcos Pizza or Johnson Controls want to avail themselves of this, they could. Their projects would still have to qualify, and they have to show a cost benefit.�

Northwood joins many other communities in the area that created ESIDs in the last eight years and became members of the Northwest Ohio Advanced Energy Improvement District. It is the first city in Wood County to become a member, according Anderson.

Pump system Oregon’s first project was making energy efficiency improvements to its main municipal complex. The city installed a ground source closed-loop geothermal heat pump system that saved the city tens of thousands of dollars with a simple payback of 5.2 years. “We are saving money by using less electricity and less natural gas,� City Administrator Mike Beazley told The Press last week. “It is not grant funding,� he added. “It’s really just a way of accessing financing dollars that in some cases works out very well for businesses. The primary goal is to encourage businesses to invest in projects that would otherwise be hard for them to justify. The payback is through the assessment on property taxes over a period of years depending on the duration of the project. It mainly allows businesses or government to

invest in energy efficiency and have it paid back over time. And it works.�

The Port actively promotes the expansion of the district into other communities. Those that have active districts, or are “districts in process,� include Port Clinton, Swanton, Fremont, Monclova, North Baltimore, Ada, Fairlawn, Galion, Findlay, Lima and Marion.

The district has undertaken projects involving voluntary assessments for the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority’s Martin Luther King, Jr. train station, its headquarters building at One Maritime Plaza, Port Authority parking garages, approximately 40 City of Toledo buildings and facilities, and the United Autoworker’s building at 2300 Ashland Avenue in Toledo.

Blaze at tree farm

Fire damaged a structure early Tuesday morning that housed animals at the Country Lane Tree Farm near Clay Center, causing the deaths of six goats and several chickens.

Nine cows survived.

Mike Musolf, chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District, said the cause of the blaze remains undetermined. Fire departments from HarrisElmore, Lake Township and Jerusalem Township assisted.

Haley, Manthey, Raglow inducted John “Jack” Haley, Michael Manthey (Class of 1972) and Patrick Raglow (1983) were inducted into the Cardinal Stritch Hall of Fame.

They were joined by the 1970-71 girls basketball team and athletes Michael DeMaria (Class of 2000) and Jennifer LaPlante McDonald (1999), who were featured in the sports section of last week’s edition of The Press. Haley, Manthey and Raglow were also successful athletes or involved in Stritch athletics.

Patrick Raglow Raglow was a well-rounded student, active in athletics, the arts, and community service. A member of student council and an Eagle Scout, Raglow says there were “so many” activities.

Stritch memories include “cross country, high school musicals, and 'wrestling' with Sister Ann Carmen and not getting in trouble.”

He is the fifth of nine children born to Dr. and Mrs. Paul and Elaine Raglow, and attended St. Jerome Elementary prior to enrolling at Stritch.

Following high school, Patrick attended Bowling Green State University where he was named a Distinguished Graduate for service, and Commissioned 2nd Lt, USAF-BGSU. After BGSU, Raglow received his MS in International Relations in 1996 from Troy State University and an MS in National Security Strategy from the National Defense University in 2004.

A veteran of Just Cause, Desert Storm, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, Raglow also flew air sovereignty patrol on 9/11. With Catholic Charities, he responded to the 2013 F5 tornadoes in Central Oklahoma, where over 8,000 households were impacted, and raised funds and built their new headquarters building. He was recently selected to the Board of Catholic Charities USA. A shining example of Stritch’s mission to form Disciples of Jesus Christ, Raglow says to today’s students, “Our gifts, whatever they may be, are not our own.

It is only when we recognize our blessing and choose to share them, that they are

bound. He passed away on March 2, 2017.

About his accident, his siblings say, “His attitude was very positive, and he never dwelled on his misfortune.”

Manthey volunteered extensive time as a mentor to new quadriplegics and paraplegics at the Community Medical Center in Missoula, Montana.

In one of many nominations, Michael Mochon (1972) said, “His word was strong as oak, and he befriended everyone he met.

There is nothing he wouldn’t do to help his friends and family.”

Manthey’s family knows that this is an honor that would have make him proud, saying he “thoroughly enjoyed his days at Cardinal Stritch and now being a part of its history.”

Patrick Raglow multiplied.”

In typical Patrick Raglow style, he says this nomination is not about him, but a testament to the work that others have done for him.

“I am both deeply humbled and honored at this recognition, which in my view reflects more on Cardinal Stritch and the values it fostered in me than on my own merit. I hope that any ‘glory’ gained by me through this award is merely a reflection of the glory of God who gave me the gifts and opportunities which I’ve been privileged to engage,” Raglow said.

Raglow currently serves as the Executive Director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City; he and his wife Andrea have three children, Thomas (13), Maria (12) and Rebekah (8).

Michael Manthey Manthey embodied the values of Cardinal Stritch as a student and graduate.

On the football field, he excelled as a tight end and defensive end, earning AllToledo City League and all-district honors, ultimately earning a full scholarship to play at the University of Toledo.

Manthey’s family says his favorite Stritch memory is “passing and surviving Sister Florian’s chemistry class.”

In 1991, Manthey suffered a work related accident that left him wheelchair

John “Jack” Haley Prior to this death in 1996, Jack Haley served as the business manager at St. Vincent Medical Center for 22 years.

He brought that acumen to Stritch, saying, “This school needs to be run like a business.”

A member of St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Haley served on the Cardinal Stritch board from 1967-72. During his tenure, he improved the school’s financial position, in part by improving Stritch’s tuition collections.

At the time of his death, his family recalls Fr. John Thomas, former Principal at Stritch, telling them, “Your dad was the man who saved Cardinal Stritch High.”

Haley knew the value of a Catholic education and was excited to share that with his three daughters: Mary Ann Haley Schnee (1968), Barb Haley (1970) and Pamela Haley Strassner (1973).

He taught Catechism, was a member of the Holy Name Society, St. Vincent de Paul Society, and started the credit union at St. Ignatius Church. His family recalls that he loved attending Stritch football games and serving on the board, and he’d be very happy to be inducted into the Stritch Hall of Fame.

As a lesson for today’s students, they know he’d say, “Work hard and do good things in your life.”

Last Week's Results How do you feel about the direction of the country after the State of the Union speech?

Police officers turn social workers to fight opioid crisis “In the next 28 days, I overdosed and died four times. After each time, a D.A.R.T. officer showed up and said if I needed help to call. I told him to go screw off.”

Ashley Sallie continued, “They kept showing up. They kept trying to get me help I didn’t want. They wouldn’t take no for an answer. Thank God they saw something in me that was worth saving, because I wouldn’t be here today.”

Ashley told her story in a video produced for the Lucas County Sheriff’s Drug Abuse Response Team (D.A.R.T). The video aired at a presentation on the opioid crisis given last week to the East Toledo Club and the public. Her interaction with D.A.R.T. officers began when she checked herself into a psych ward to detox. She credits her new-found clean living to the persistence of the officers who led her to a treatment plan and sobriety housing.

Nicole Lange, 25, tells a similar story.

She was living on the streets, engaged in prostitution when her distraught mother called Deputy Sheriff Dennis Whaley.

Dep. Whaley’s first move was not a welcome one. He asked the judge presiding over Nicole’s case to increase bond from $10,000 to $25,000, assuring Nicole would not have the 10 percent to gain her freedom.

“Everything you could call a cop I called him,” Nicole remembers.

Such is the hold heroin has. But, the drug was just one problem for Nicole. “I would have to get dates to get high and give him (her pimp) all the money.”

She told The Press in a later phone conversation that she started using pain pills at age 15 when she lived in Luckey.

She graduated to heroin within a year, due to its cheap cost.

Nicole served 30 days in the Correc-

by John Szozda tions Center of Northwest Ohio. Then, Dep. Whaley helped her get treatment, a bed at a halfway house and other services. Her sobriety date is December 22, 2015.

Nicole is still drug free. She works part-time in a local factory, is in a relationship and has a month-old son. She now has spirit and will.

“It’s like the best feeling—waking up and not having to be sick and having my own house and my own bills and custody of my baby,” she said, pauses, and reluctantly adds, “I lost custody of my first child because of addiction.”

Dep. Whaley still checks on her, two years later. “He’s there when I need him,” she said. “I never thought I’d say that about a cop.”

Dep. Whaley knows the importance of being there. He is a 27-year veteran of the sheriff’s department and has been working in the D.A.R.T. program since 2015. He connects with addicts because of his personal experience with a son who is nine years clean.

“God gave me my son back, now I’m repaying,” he said.

He knows how rough it is to detox. He’s seen it. “You’re throwing up. Diarrhea. It’s a violent upheaval. You’re hot, you’re cold.

Your bones ache. You can’t sleep. You’ll be up for three or four days,” he said.

These personal stories highlight what the D.A.R.T. program can do for addicts willing to put their trust into what may

seem like an unlikely source—a police officer. But, these officers are also social workers. They connect the addict to health services, mental health services and the judicial system including drug court. When an overdose call comes in to 9-1-1, a D.A.R.T. officer goes to the hospital to offer help.

This comprehensive approach was unique in the country in 2014 when conceived by Lucas County Sheriff John Tharp and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.

At the time, law enforcement was desperate to find an answer to the opioid crisis. Dep. Whaley said 411 Ohioans died in 2010 due to drug overdose. By 2016, the death toll had climbed to 4,050.

Lucas County has not escaped the crisis. D.A.R.T. responded to 1,543 overdose calls made to 9-1-1 in 2016. The crisis has also fueled another one--prostitution. Toledo ranks fourth in the nation in human trafficking.

There are not enough resources to abate the numbers. Dep. Whaley said it is estimated there are 10,000 to 15,000 addicts in Lucas County, but only 80 detox beds. More sober living beds are also needed so recovering addicts have a place to stay with those traveling the same difficult path to sobriety.

On the national front, one major pharmaceutical manufacturer, Purdue Pharma, recently announced it would stop marketing OxyContin to doctors. That will have little effect, Dep. Whaley said. The company had already turned to gel caps and a pill that can’t be cut and snorted. Addicts have since turned to Fentanyl, Percocet and Vicodin.

The medical establishment has contributed to the crisis, Dep. Whaley said. Patients with an injury are asked to describe their pain on a scale of one to ten. “Young

You must think before you speak or write You cannot un-ring a bell, and you cannot recall words once spoken or written.

Thoughts should always precede communication. Yet too many people speak first, and then think later. If there are any subsequent regrets about what was said, apologies and explanations follow. But any damage which had already been done is not reversible.

There is a tendency to speak prematurely when you are upset, angry, frustrated, or tired. People are too quick to send a text or email or post a rant on social media. Speaking out is an emotional reaction to stress. You need to condition yourself, while you are calm, to think before speaking. You will then be much less likely to lash out while agitated.

In most circumstances, there is no rush to respond verbally or in writing. Take time to cool down and objectively assess the situation. There may even be no need to say anything at all. There are also those situations which will resolve themselves without your verbal input.

It’s next to impossible to make sound decisions while upset. Taking 10 conscious breaths helps you calm down. If you don’t have time to evaluate a situation, and then think through what is appropriate to say, don’t say anything.

If you need to get something off your chest, write down exactly what’s on your mind, along with everything you’d like to

say. Then put away what you have written until you cool down. Don’t show it, or send it to anyone. This strategy lets you blow off steam without communicating something you might regret.

When you are calm, go back and read whatever you have written. Chances are you will want to make major edits. The issue may have blown over so that nothing needs to be said at all. This is a great habit to develop because it protects you from saying or writing something inappropriate for your objectives.

Before communicating in any form, think about your purpose. You want to have a clear idea of exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Positive objectives are worthwhile. Attempting to teach someone a lesson, get even, cause embarrassment, change someone, or make another person upset, never works out in your best interest. These negative intentions will not make you happier or make your life better.

Fashion your communication to achieve your objective. Think about what you want to say along with how you want to say it. Your delivery is just as important as the content. A message can be lost or misinterpreted when the delivery is flawed.

Being polite, respectful, courteous, and considerate creates a solid delivery. Avoid a cold, callous, impersonal, or rude approach. How you say something overshad-

ows what you are saying. Evaluate your message as if you were the recipient.

Review your message several times before delivering it. Allow enough time to think through the message you want to convey. Revise it as needed. Taking more time is better than rushing a message.

For effective communication, ensure you collect all of the accurate and relevant facts. Have a clear understanding of exactly what you want your message to accomplish.

Allow enough time to formulate proper wording.

Even when time is of the essence, you can take time to think things through. If you’re caught by surprise, or are not sure of the best way to respond, tell the other person that you will have to get back to them.

Don’t allow yourself to be pressured into an immediate reply.

Always thinking before you speak or write is a great habit. This approach makes you a better, more effective communicator and you will consistently attain your desired objective.

people are soft today,” he said. They know the higher the number the stronger the prescription. Many opioid addicts start out mitigating this pain. Those more susceptible to addiction continue using to deal with anxiety, depression or guilt. The cost soon becomes unsustainable and the addict turns to cheap heroin. Dep. Whaley said his son used student loans to support his habit and was paying $80 to $120 for one Oxy pill. The escalating weekly costs quickly drives the addict to heroin which can be bought for $5 to $10.

Cutting back to balance heroin use with your paycheck is not an option. “If anyone tells you they use opioids once in a while, they are lying. They’ll be dope sick, quickly. My son, at the end of his usage, was using to just not be sick. He got no effects from it, no high.”

Dep. Whaley’s talk was of particular interest to those who live in East Toledo, the current hot bed to buy and use, he said.

Clay students host event highlighting global studies Four years ago, Clay High School implemented a Global Studies Diploma as an endorsement for graduates who completed a rigorous curriculum focused on increasing global competence.

On Feb. 6, some of those students highlighted the program to some special guests who are here in Northwest Ohio – 22 teachers, all from different countries, here on a program at Bowling Green State University.

The students showcased their Jr. Model U.N. program, which was developed as part of a capstone project by former Global Scholars. The students then hosted a potluck dinner for the international Fellows, including cultural sharing and conversations.

The Model U.N. program at the high school gives students an opportunity to fulfill some of the requirements of the endorsement. Teacher Erin Weiker is the advisor for both the Global Studies Diploma and Model U.N. The Global Studies Diploma was designed by the World Affairs Council of Northwest Ohio, and other area districts are starting to take notice of the program. It is seen as an advantage in college and career readiness.

The Teaching Excellence and Achievement (TEA) program is sponsored by a grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. State Department, and administered by the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX.) Locally the program is directed by Dr. Sharon Subreenduth of BGSU. Further events are scheduled, including an International Educator Night at Toledo School for the Arts on March 6.

Oak Harbor 8th-grade STEM program acquires 3D printers In September, the eighth-grade STEM program at Oak Harbor High School received funding from GenoaBank for the purchase of two new 3D printers.

With this addition to the curriculum, students are able to incorporate physical production with engineering tools such as TinkerCAD. It also allows instructor Rob Zajac to extend current activities and lessons in the class to incorporate tangible 3D design.

Staci McDaniel, marketing manager at GenoaBank, helped secure the donation. In the past, GenoaBank has funded prize money for a semester-long project. This year, however, Zajac thought it best to invest in 3D printers, and GenoaBank was fully on board.

“3D printers are making a significant impact in today’s world,” Zajac said. “I opted to modify my semester project, and the natural progression was to incorporate 3D printing.”

Hayes summer program Kids can design their own roller coasters, discover how airplanes fly and experiment with algae during a new summer program at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums.

The Frohman Summer Series: “Handson History” offers three activities for kids ages 6-11 using materials from the Charles E. Frohman Collection at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums to gain firsthand knowledge in history through science, technology, engineering and math initiatives.

“Hands-on History weaves together our local history and science through interactive STEM projects that bring the past alive,” said Nan Card, Hayes Presidential Library & Museums curator of manuscripts.

The sessions are free. Kids can attend one or all. Parents are welcome to attend with their children. Each session is from 10 a.m. to noon. The schedule is: • June 20 – Aviation: Students can see the early aviators and the airplanes they constructed at Sandusky’s Battery Park.

Students will discover the forces of flight and learn how early aviators applied them to their aircraft and the dangers they encountered.

Despite loss to Lake

Comets outright Northern Buckeye champs

Oak Harbor sends 8 to state meet

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Oak Harbor sent eight swimmers to the Division II state swim meet, including two relay teams and individual qualifier Elayna Krupp, a freshman who is also on one of the relay teams.

At the Bowling Green district meet, Krupp finished tied for ninth place (24.62), but won a swim-off to place ahead of Celina freshman Kennedy Newell and qualify for state in the 50 freestyle. Krupp swam a time that was .64 seconds faster than her qualifying time (25.26), while Newell’s qualifying time (24.63) was only one-hundredth of a second faster. During the swim-off, both swimmers improved their teams by even more.

“Elayna had already unofficial qualified for state as a tie for the 20th place,” Oak Harbor coach Andrea Sorg said. “However the state (Ohio High School Athletic Association) requires swim-offs if there is a tie in the same district. I did not tell Elayna until after the race that she had already qualified. She and her opponent dropped another .2 from their original times. They both showed up and swam their hearts out and Elayna ended up on top by .03.”

Oak Harbor’s 200 freestyle relay team, Krupp, senior Gabby Sharkey, freshman Emily Haar and sophomore Erin Druyor, finished in 11th place at the district with a time of 1:42.04 — good enough to qualify for state.

“All Oak Harbors swimmers competing at district dropped times and swam very well. The four boys and girls qualifying to state swam well. We couldn’t believe the girls relay places 11th and then still qualified as the 22nd seed in the state. It shows the depth of our district,” Coach Sorg said.

The boys 200 freestyle relay team, freshman Troy Metcalf and sophomores Caleb Heintz, Kobe Fletcher and Thomas Chovanec, also qualified after finishing fifth at the district meet with a time of 1:31.99, just under two seconds behind the championship team from Lima Shawnee (1:30.08).

“

It’s the closest thing I’ve had to a brotherhood. The love we have for each other is real.

“

For the second year in a row, Genoa has won the Northern Buckeye Conference, only this year they are outright champions.

The Comets did it by defeating the likes of Eastwood, Woodmore and Otsego, three teams that have won a combined 45 games this season. The Eagles shared the title with the Comets last year.

Genoa went 6-0 against the best the NBC had to offer, and won its six meetings by an average of 16.2 points. The only league hiccup was when they closed the regular season losing to Lake 60-51 — a game that Lake coach Jeff Limes said was one of his team’s best all season.

The Comets beat Otsego in their fifth game of the year by seven points, 40-33, and won every other contest against the Knights, Eagles and Wildcats by at least 13 points. The loss to Lake in the season finale left Genoa with an 18-4 record and a 13-1 mark in the conference that was highlighted by a 13-game winning streak.

“I think it’s a testament to their commitment, starting in June with our summer program,” said Genoa coach Zach Alt. “We played some elite teams in the area in the dog days of summer, and we knew it would pay off when winter came.”

Starter Josiah Bradfield added, “There have been many good teams in the NBC, but to win back-to-back championships says something about our coaches and everyone involved with the program.”

One of the reasons for the Comets’ success this year has to do with their stellar play in the fourth quarter, something the team refers to as “winning time.”

“Everybody’s got to be engaged and communicating defensively (in the fourth quarter),” said Alt. “It’s about executing and getting what we want and if not, we reset. It’s about being patient and taking what they’ll give us in the fourth quarter.”

It’s the defensive intensity that has allowed the Comets to pull away in the fourth quarter of many games this season.

“We look at it as our quarter. So many teams go into the fourth tired and running on empty, but when we go into the fourth, we know we have to defend and play as a unit,” said junior Jacob Plantz. “We have been very successful in the fourth quarter because of our defense.

“The group we have is a special group.

Everyone plays their role excellent and comes to practice every day wanting to get better. All the work we put in together as a group has definitely shown through. Coach Alt and the rest of the staff have done a great job getting us ready for every game.”

Bradfield added, “The fourth quarter is all about who wants it more. It’s about which team wants to get defensive stops more and which team wants to execute the offense more. The team that does usually wins the game.”

The Comets can put up points, too, scoring at least 50 on 12 occasions this season.

The trio of Plantz, Drew Bench and Josiah Bradfield leads the way for a group that includes the likes of Jake Bradfield, Caleb McGeorge, Noah Edwards, Nate Lewis and Joey Dominique. The unit’s chemistry is impressive and has developed over the last three years.

“We are a very close group,” said Josiah Bradfield. “We have been playing together for three years and our relationship has only gotten stronger, not just on the court but off the court, too.”

Plantz adds, “It’s the closest thing I’ve had to a brotherhood. The love we have for each other is real. We all believe in each other and expect big things out of each other. I wouldn’t trade them for anyone else. I love these guys and they love me — it’s just a special bond that we have built over the years,” Alt adds, “They’ve been together for three years now. A lot of those guys, not just Jake and Drew, made that tournament run with us (two years ago), It’s a pretty tight-knit group. We have some brothers and some neighbors on the team. We can only go as far as everybody will allow it to go.”

Cardinals want more history to follow historic season

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com History was made at Cardinal Stritch this season.

Coach Jamie Kachmarik’s fifth-ranked (Division III) Cardinals won the school’s first boys basketball title since the school was built in 1960. The only thing keeping Stritch from going undefeated in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference this season was Northwood (2-19, 1-12), which visited the Cardinals on Friday.

Stritch’s athletic programs competed as an independent from the time the school opened in 1960 until the school joined the Toledo City League in 1971. The Cardinals competed in the CL until 1994 before moving to the TAAC in 1995.

Kachmarik said this team, which improved to 20-1 on Tuesday with a 7336 non-conference win over Swanton, planned to celebrate the program’s longawaited championship at the end of the regular season.

“A lot of former players are coming back,” said Kachmarik, who was voted the TAAC Coach of the Year by his peers.

“It means a lot for this group and for the school. A lot of alums have reached out and we’re getting more and more alums coming to games to see the guys. It’s been really good for the school.”

The Cardinals (13-0 TAAC) clinched the outright conference title with a 74-70 win at Maumee Valley Country Day on Feb. 13. Kachmarik said the players held off their celebration until after their game with Northwood.

“We told them we still have a lot of work to do and do our celebrating would come this Friday,” Kachmarik said on Monday. “We have more goals ahead of us and we want to win all of our home games. We wanted to win all of our true road games, which we did. Our only loss (49-36 to Central Catholic at Southview’s tournament on Dec. 28) was at a neutral site. Hopefully, we come out on top Friday.

Either way, we’ll celebrate because we won the league.”

Stritch’s run to this year’s title didn’t come without its challenges. The Cardinals

Maumee Valley proved to be a worthy opponent on Feb. 13.

Teams are making adjustments.

“The second half of the season started with Toledo Christian at our place and they gave us everything they had. We got a great defensive stop by Little (Anderson), who blocked a shot to end the game. A few nights later, Ottawa Hills played us well and we got a big win there. You understand we’re going to have to play hard every night, and we’ve been fortunate to come out on top.”

As a tribute to their contributions to the program, Kachmarik said Stritch’s current seniors – regular starter Alex Adams, Jeff Dunsmore, Collin Yost, Shaun Enright and Terance Taylor – would start Friday against Northwood.

“They were the first group when I got here, the first freshman class,” Kachmarik said. “They’re the first full class I’ve seen go through (high school) all four years.

They will hold a special spot with our coaching staff. Those kids have seen how the program’s been built and been a big part into building a winning tradition.

“They’ll be missed, but they’ve also really helped lay the groundwork on what it takes to work hard and have a winning culture.”

Sophomore guard Joey Holifield was named the TAAC Player of the Year by the conference coaches. Holifield leads the Cardinals in scoring at 16.6 points points per game and is second in rebounding (5.0 rpg.). He was also a first-team All-TAAC pick as a freshman.

“Joey scores 17 points a game and he defends the other team’s best players every night,” Kachmarik said. “He’s talented and gifted and strong. He plays an old-school game where he doesn’t always need the ball. He’s efficient and he plays both ends of the floor, and that’s what makes him different.”

Junior point guard Jordan Burton (14.6 ppg., 4.6 apg.) was a first-team All-TAAC selection, while Anderson (11.1 ppg., 7.3 rpg.), a junior, was named to the second team. Yost (5.9 ppg.) and Adams were honorable mention selections.

The Cardinals face either Gibsonburg or Lake in the sectional tournament on March 2 at Bowsher.

For Clay grapplers, another mission accomplished

By Bruce Hefflinger Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Mission accomplished.

Clay has waited for one year to get back on top of the TRAC wrestling world and the Eagles did so in impressive fashion to reclaim the crown won a year ago by Fremont Ross.

“It was very rewarding for our kids and program,” Clay coach Ralph Cubberly said of winning the conference for the sixth time in his seven years in charge of the program.

“They wanted to bring that championship back to the Clay wrestling room.”

A year ago, Fremont Ross edged out the Eagles for the title by 1½ points “This date was marked on our calendar since we lost last year,” Cubberly explained. “We have one of those countdown clocks in our room and we set it up for Feb. 17, 2018, the night after the 2017 TRAC championships were finished.”

With a dozen wrestlers placing, Clay rolled up 219 points to finish 64½ points in front of the defending champs. Findlay, which Clay edged 31-30 in the team duals earlier this month, was in third place seven points back of Fremont Ross.

“This was a total team win,” pointed out Cubberly.

Making it more impressive, the Eagles have just four seniors in the program.

“I think that shows this program is well established and has a lot of depth,” Cubberly said.

One of those seniors, Garret Anderson, became the third Clay wrestler to win TRAC four times, joining Matt Stencel and Richie Screptock.

“Anytime a wrestler can win his conference championship four times you know he is a special athlete,” Cubberly said. “Garret is a special athlete and a hard worker who is committed to wrestling in our program.”

Anderson edged Findlay’s Seth Douglas 1-0 for the 145-pound title. The two had split matches earlier this season.

Clay heavyweight Nick Daly won con-

Anderson and Daly were two of six Eagles to finish first, with a number of keys to taking home the team title.

“Coming into the tournament we explained to the wrestlers that bonus points and beating guys that other people thought we couldn’t beat would be key to winning this tournament,” Cubberly explained.

“Guys pulling off upsets such as Tony Pendergraff at 106, AJ Szigeti at 138, Troy Murphy at 160 and JT Meek at 182 by defeating wrestlers they were seeded behind was a huge key to us winning this tourna-

ment.”

In claiming the 160-pound title, Murphy became a two-time TRAC champ.

Freshman Jacob Moon at 113, Kyle Maville at 120 and Lyle Campbell at 220 also finished first for Clay. Mike Daly at 126, Kyle Miller at 152, Pendergraff, Szigeti and Meek were all runners-up for the Eagles while Michael LaVally was third at 170.

The margin of victory could have been larger if not for a knee injury that occurred during warmups to 195-pounder Josh Nagy.

“I feel bad that Josh did not get a chance to wrestle in the conference tournament because of a freak accident,” Cubberly said.

“We fully expected him to place in this tournament as a three seed. It is too bad for him that he did not get the chance to wrestle.”

Clay’s performance at the TRAC was a step up from the Team Duals in early February.

“At the regional duals I feel our team did not compete at their best in the match against Findlay,” Cubberly said in reference to the one-point regional semifinal win against a team the Eagles had beaten 4620 earlier in the season. “We wrestled well in the Elyria match (a 44-23 loss) pushing a very good team. We did have two starters out in both of those matches in weight classes we think we could have won. While the two who stepped in did a great job, they were just a little too young and inexperienced to be able to win the matches.”

The Clay mentor felt the Duals benefitted his squad at the TRAC. “I think the regionals are a huge measuring stick for the TRAC championships and prepared us very well,” Cubberly said.

“It taught our wrestlers that if you take a team you beat earlier in the season too lightly they could jump up and beat you as seen in the Findlay match. After some team reflection between the semifinals and finals, the guys turned it around and came together and wrestled a great match. It taught our kids to respect all but to fear none.”

It was a lesson that carried over to the TRAC championships.

“The most special thing for me was to see the team mature and come together and win this championship,” Cubberly said. “Every kid and coach in our program worked very hard to bring this title back to Clay. Whenever you work hard for something and it comes to fruition it is always great.”

As for the future of Clay wrestling, the Eagles also won the JV TRAC championships as well as the Junior High League tournament.

“Winning the JV TRAC championship lets us and others know that we have a solid program at Clay and that we are set to be a very good and strong program over the next few years,” Cubberly concluded.

Waite, Northwood wrestlers second, third in City meet

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Waite wrestlers finished second in the eight-team Toledo City Athletic League meet at Scott.

Waite narrowly lost to Bowsher, 150148, and Northwood followed in third place with 125½ points. They were followed by Rogers (80), Start (72), Toledo Christian (59), Scott (47) and Woodward 26½.

Waite and Bowsher had a back and forth battle all day, and it eventually came down to the 220 pound match, which was one of the last two matches on the day.

Trenton Ervin prevailed to push Bowsher over the top. For Bowsher, it was the school’s first league wrestling championship. Waite coach Russell Jennings said his team fought through adversity to nearly win a title.

“These kids deserve all the credit in the world,” Jennings said. “Nobody gave us much of a fighting chance at the beginning

of the season and if it had not of been for one significant injury we would of easily won a City title.”

Jennings’ team returns all of its top placers next year and he believes his team will be in line to seek a championship again in 2019.

Waite had three league champions in Christian Cintron (106), Devon Wheeler (120) and Damien Barr (126). Jennings calls Wheeler “the heart and soul of our team” who he “expects big things (from) in the future.”

Waite grapplers finishing in second place were Francisco Carmona (113) and Neko Brown (132). Lamonte Redmond (138) and William Konesni (145) placed third and Dietrich Mitchell (182) finished in fourth.

Northwood wrestlers winning titles were three-time league champion Colton Falk (132) and Austin Cole (170).

Placing second for the Rangers were Nate Waurffel (126), Joey Heise (138), Cody Fonseca (220) and Joe Miller (285). Junior Chaisiri placed third at 182.

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Receiving Criticism Most of us chafe at criticism, especially if it is delivered bluntly and concerning matters which hit close to home. We are also prone to bristle if the person is criticizing us on moral matters and isn’t him- or herself a model of rectitude. But if we really want to improve then we should strive to find the kernel of truth in every criticism. We often take instruction and criticism to be inherently negative, but if it enables us to improve in some way then there is really something valuable in it. If we can somehow receive it with an open heart and genuinely thank the person giving it to us, then they are more likely to do us the favor of correcting future

Oregon

errors as well. We live in an era where everyone expects to get an A in their classes and a trophy for their athletic efforts, and so honest criticism is often lacking, and the result is that a lot of mediocre performances get high marks and many have lost the ability to receive instruction and criticism graciously. There is some grain of truth in almost every criticism, so seek to learn from it. “Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it, but whoever respects a command is rewarded. The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death.” —Proverbs 13:13-14 NIV
