Trump asked to back nuclear power By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“

Premature closure of America’s nuclear power plants threatens our competitive edge in this field.

“

Four members of Ohio’s congressional delegation have written to President Donald Trump, asking him to support nuclear power. In a letter dated Feb. 15, Democrats Marcy Kaptur, Marcia Fudge and Tim Ryan and Republican David Joyce write that the discovery of large deposits of natural gas and advancements in drilling technology, “have driven down the price of electricity generation from gas-fired power plants and undercut baseload generation at nuclear power plants.” The letter describes nuclear energy as vital for national security. “Premature closure of America’s nuclear power plants threatens our competitive edge in this field,” the letter says. FirstEnergy has said it will complete a review this year of its coal and nuclear power plants with a goal of exiting the generation market. During a recent conference call with analysts, Chuck Jones, the company’s chief executive officer, said bankruptcy is an option for FirstEnergy Solutions, the subsidiary that operates generation plants, including the Davis-Besse and Perry nuclear units. Citing a report by the Energy Futures Initiative, the four members of congress

state that a “commercial atomic power sector is necessary to keep uranium-processing technology away from terrorists and other bad actors.” They also stress the impact of the plants on the state’s economy. “The Davis-Besse and Perry nuclear power plants in northern Ohio are important components to the regional economy and to America’s energy security. These high-performing plants are economic engines that provide good-paying jobs both at the plants and through a far-reaching supply chain. These jobs support thriving communities and generate critical tax revenue that fund essential services,” the letter says. Devaluation hits school district Members of the Benton-Carroll-Salem

school board and administration have cited the recent property devaluation of the Davis-Besse plant as the primary reason the district needs additional tax revenue. The resulting annual loss to the district from the devaluation is about $4.6 million, about a fourth of the B-C-S operating budget. Voters in the school district will decide two levy requests on the May ballot. The letter from the members of congress urges President Trump to “step in and offer immediate assistance to prevent the critical generators from closing prematurely.” Mark Stahl, an Ottawa County commissioner, and Jerry Cirino, a Lake County commissioner, met last month with management of PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in 13 states, including Ohio. “We just wanted to emphasize that nuclear power offers the reliability and resiliency we need for the national security of our country. We are concerned that all these baseloads are coming off and at some point have to ask if we are able to find other sources to replace them,” Stahl said. Regional transmission organizations such as PJM will have a say in the country’s future energy mix after a decision in January by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reject a proposal by the Department of Energy to set pricing rules

A public forum on safety in the schools drew a packed crowd consisting of students, parents, school officials and police at Clay High School on Monday. The meeting was held to address security concerns in the Oregon City Schools District in the wake of a mass shooting at a high school in Florida last month. Similar meetings have been held across the country to answer questions from worried students and parents. On Feb. 14, 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, were killed after a 19-year-old former student allegedly entered the school and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle. It is considered one of the worst mass shootings in history, and has spurred a national debate on gun violence. “The reason we’re hosting the event tonight is to address something that’s on the forefront of everybody’s minds and the whole entire country. The idea of keeping our kids, our staff, and our visitors safe is critical,” said Oregon City Schools Superintendent Hal Gregory, who led the forum. Combination approach “Our goal is to keep each student, staff member and visitor safe in our schools every single solitary day,” said Gregory. “And we’re going to work very hard - and are working very hard - to do that. The goal can’t be achieved alone, but together. The key is the approach we’ve been taking for years - a combination approach. I really think that’s the only way we can do it to keep our kids safe. It’s a combination of everything that is available to us.” The combination approach entails training, security, knowledge, communicating, and open minds, he said. “We need students who are willing to share, and we need adults who are willing to act,” said Gregory.

Oregon

Public forum on shooting draws crowd Continued from front page The district has had various measures in place to keep schools safe, including the School Resource Officer Program, A.L.I.C.E Training program, Student Review and Consultation Committee, a camera system, a security window film lining at entry ways, monthly safety meetings, a table top/ functional/full-scale drill experience, and mental health services in the schools, said Gregory. The district has been at the forefront, along with the Oregon City Police Department, of the A.L.I.C.E. Training program, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate, said Gregory. The program provides preparation and a plan on how to more proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder or active shooter event. The district needs to organize training for substitute employees, increase parent communication materials, schedule annual table tops and full-scale drills, develop a plan for increased security throughout the district, and reevaluate school security weaknesses, said Gregory. “That means talking more with our kids,” he said. “I really think that is a big piece of what we’re missing.” Oregon Police Chief Mike Navarre, assistant chief Paul Magdich, Sgt. Tony Castillo, School Resource Officers (SROs) Tim McLeod and Mark Potter, Lucas County Deputy Brian Kennedy, and Oregon Fire Chief Paul Mullen were at the meeting to answer questions from the crowd. Cameras Potter said technology is so advanced that officers can now respond more quickly and efficiently to a shooter in a building. He noted, for example, that police today can get a view of the interior of the schools at any given time by accessing cameras that are in all the buildings. “Seven or eight years ago, the police department had the cameras fiber optically fed to the police department so those cameras can be viewed from our dispatch center,” said Potter. “There were no other school districts in the area that had anything like that. In violent events, as they occur, quick information is critical. For our dispatch center to be able to pull up a live camera feed inside a building and relay information to responding officers, is huge. It’s not the norm. We’re way ahead of the curve.” A parent in the audience asked what he should do if he hears a threat made against the district. “As a parent, if I am unsure, or unaware, of how to proceed when I hear something, see something, think something’s wrong. Who do we go to? Do we go to the police department, do we go to the school administration, do we go to the principals?” “That’s something we see quite often,” said McLeod. “If something were to happen at a sporting event that you feel as a parent is critical - a threat has been made, or something just doesn’t make you feel right - please call the police department right away. Call our dispatch. They will in turn get a hold of one of our road patrol units. They will come out immediately to speak with you. What they will do in turn

Oregon Police Chief Mike Navarre answers questions from the crowd at Clay High School. (Photo courtesy of Oregon City Schools) is, if they feel it is an immediate threat, they will contact me or Officer Potter. I can’t tell you how many times - at 10, 11, midnight - I get a call from our road patrol that’s dealing with one of our students. They say, `Hey, this could be an issue for you tomorrow in school.’ If it’s that urgent, contact the regular police department.” SROs are available every day at the schools and can be contacted by email and phone, he added. “You can call the schools, the police department – either one. They will get a hold of us,” said McLeod. “We have anonymous reporting forms online when it comes to actual bullying cases. We receive several of those per year. Students will get on there and report bullying behavior or any threatening behavior that they’ve experienced. So there’s multiple ways of contacting us.” “What we don’t want you to do is do nothing,” said Navarre. “Get that information to us because that’s our job.” Arming teachers P.J. Kapfhammer, a former school board president, suggested arming teachers to defend against a shooter in the schools. “I’ve really thought about this a lot. The world’s changing. The game has changed. Kids are killing kids. They’re doing it in ways they want to be seen and heard. I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t walk into this place with a gun – including tonight. There’s no way our kids are safe in our schools right now. I’ll be brutally honest with you – it isn’t hard to walk in here with a gun. It’s very simple. And it scares me. If someone wants to make that statement, they’re going to make that statement,” said Kapfhammer. “I know it’s not politically correct to talk about – to have teachers go through training to carry a gun. I know it’s not popular to say that. But

I also know that an extra gun in the room would probably save kids. I hope everyone realizes we could do a lot more.” Navarre said he was against arming teachers. “I am adamantly opposed to allowing administrators or teachers carrying guns in the schools. You would be doing the very thing that we are trying to prevent: Introducing guns into a school environment,” said Navarre. “I just don’t like the idea of teachers and administrators carrying guns because a lot of bad things will happen. Statistics are on my side. Guns in homes are used many, many more times to kill loved ones than to kill intruders. That’s a fact. We have police officers that get into physical fights when their gun is taken out of their holster and used to kill them. Every call they go to is a `gun call’ because they’re bringing a gun to that call. I do not want that in the schools. I know too many officers whose kids got access to their guns and committed suicide. There are so many things that concern me having guns throughout a school building.” Dr. Lisa Pescara-Kovach, an educational psychologist who helped the district establish the Student Review and Consultation Committee, which assesses reports of troubling behavior, said there needs to be more discussions on why someone brings a gun to school. “I appreciate all the intervention type talk and response,” she said. “But we really don’t look into the root cause. What makes them want to bring a gun to school? We need to have those kind of conversations,” said Pescara-Kovach, who has a daughter who attends Clay. “What’s motivating them to want to bring that weapon to school? I think every single piece is important, but I just don’t want to see people lose sight of us having those conversations.”

Indictments returned After a recent session, the Ottawa County Grand Jury returned indictments against the following individuals, according to Prosecuting Attorney James VanEerten: • Ryan T. Cover, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was charged with one count of Abusing Harmful Intoxicants following a traffic stop in January. The charge is a felony of the fifth degree due to Cover’s prior conviction on similar charges. • Shawn R. Bryan, of Toledo, was charged with misdemeanor counts of Telecommunications Harassment and Assault, along with a felony charge of Disrupting Public Services. According to Elmore Police reports, Bryan allegedly took a phone from an individual he had assaulted when the victim attempted to call for help. • Amber Mitchell, of Oak Harbor, was indicted on one felony count of Possession of Drugs after she was reportedly found in possession of heroin during a traffic stop last July. • Shawn Leonard, of Maumee, was indicted on one count of Trafficking in Marijuana, a felony of the fifth degree, after Ottawa County Sheriff’s Deputies reportedly found him in possession of marijuana that was packaged for distribution earlier this month. Leonard’s indictment also contains a Grand Jury Specification for forfeiture of $825 in his possession at the time of his arrest. Warrants have been issued for Cover and Bryan; summonses have been issued for other defendants. VanEerten noted that an indictment is a formal charge in the Common Pleas Court and does not denote guilt or innocence.

The inaugural Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School Alumni Association. (Submitted photo)

Cardinal Stritch

Keeping its alumni ‘family’ connected By Katie Siebenaller Press Staff Writer katiesieb@presspublications.com Cardinal Stritch has created a new way for members of its family to stay connected. With a history extending back over 50 years and resulting in thousands of alumni, the high school has formed the Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School Alumni Association. All alumni who have received a diploma from Cardinal Stritch are members of the association. An inaugural Alumni Association Board has also been formed. “I think with social media nowadays, it’s become a little easier to reach out — to see who would be interested, who would be able to volunteer their time and their talent,” says Alumni & Events Coordinator Kellie Zurawski Szymanski ‘87. “It was just the time. It came together, and it came together perfectly.” A group including Fr. John Stites and Sr. Ann Carmen Barone, along with the school’s advancement office, discussed who would be invited to serve on the first Alumni Association Board.

“We had an overwhelming response,” Szymanski adds. An alumnus from each half-decade, beginning with the first graduating class and up until 2010-2015, was chosen to serve a two-year term on the board as a director. Representing the Alumni Association Board of Directors are Christine Daunhauer Johnson (‘66), Mary Ann Benko Repka (‘71), Richard Mitchell (‘75), Mary Reeves Smith (‘80), Barbara Horner Edwards (‘88), Kara Pastorek (‘90), Jill Vuketich Smith (‘96), Chad Rutkowski (‘04), Lily Szymanski Young (‘09) and Alexandra Blazevich (‘10). “The Directors will serve as an administrative unit to promote, support, and advance a mutually beneficial relationship between Cardinal Stritch and its alumni, students, administration, faculty, and staff,” Szymanski said. “The Association’s vision for the future is to be engaged as a valued and influential supporter of Cardinal Stritch on matters relevant to growth, development, and its continued excellence.” The Alumni Board Directors will meet at least every other month at the school to discuss goals, such as creating an alumni list in an accessible format for students looking for college or career guidance,

and upcoming events the alumni will be involved in, including the spring musical (this year “The Sound of Music”), The Red & Black Gala and Party in the Parking Lot. Additionally, the Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School Alumni Association will host quarterly Stritch Socials. These events, planned for varying locations, will take place from 6-8 p.m. and serve as meetand-greets for alumni to get together. For the time being, Szymanski says Stritch Socials will take place in the Toledo area. A similar type of reception for Cardinal Stritch alumni was recently held in Columbus, allowing alumni in the area who might not be able to return to the school to connect. With the success of this event, the idea of expanding Stritch Socials to other towns and cities is being entertained. For more info about the Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School Alumni Association and to learn about upcoming events, visit their Facebook page or www. cardinalstritch.org/alumni. Those who wish to get involved or have any questions may contact Kellie Zurawski Szymanski (`87) at 419-693-0465, ext. 111 or Barbara Boyle Wilk (`79) at 419693-0465, ext. 217.

Nuclear Continued from front page that compensate coal and nuclear-powered generators for on-site storage of fuel. Instead, the FERC has asked transmission organizations to provide data as to whether the commission and markets need to take additional action to address resiliency issues of the electrical grid. PJM is expected to submit its response to the commission by March 9. Stahl said he is also concerned a bankruptcy filing by FirstEnergy will be perceived as the final step before shuttering the Davis-Besse and Perry plants. “If a bankruptcy filing does come it’s really not the end,” he said. “That’s when we really need to start looking for a buyer. Of course, a buyer will have to believe natural gas prices are going to move upward and they’ll be able to make a profit.” The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects the share of U.S. total utility-scale electricity generation from natural gas-fired power plants to rise from 32 percent in 2017 to 33 percent in 2018 and to 34 percent in 2019. The forecast generation share from coal in 2018 averages 30 percent, about the same as in 2017, but then falls to 29 percent in 2019. The nuclear share of generation was 20 percent in 2017 and is projected to average 20 percent in 2018 and 19 percent in 2019.

Police trained to deal with shooter

Great strides “There was a lot of good discussion, a lot of great ideas,” said Navarre. “It was a very respectful crowd, even though there were various opinions in the room. I think it’s important that we continue the dialogue. Many in the audience echoed that sentiment. I think we have made some great strides in the schools in bettering our preparedness. We talk about it frequently. We talk about it at our staff meetings. Every time there’s an incident like what hap-

Every time there’s an incident like what happened in Parkland, Florida, we dissect it, we try and learn from it.

“

In the wake of a mass shooting at a high school in Florida last month, Oregon city officials stated at a council meeting last week that the city is prepared to deal with an active shooter should the need arise. “Obviously, with the events that happened in the Florida school shooting a few weeks ago, Oregon is very aware of those things,” City Administrator Mike Beazley told council at a meeting on Monday. “Everyone thinks it can’t happen here, and it won‘t. But being prepared is a good thing,” said Beazley. “In Oregon, we’ve done a lot of active shooter drills. We do take those things seriously, and do our part to be prepared.” On Feb. 14, 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, were killed after a 19-year-old former student allegedly entered the school and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle. It is considered one of the worst mass shootings in history, and has stirred a national debate on gun violence. The incident has sparked a national debate on gun control. Police Chief Mike Navarre said at the council meeting on Monday that he attended a school safety forum with parents and students earlier that day at Clay High School.

pened in Parkland, Florida, we dissect it, we try and learn from it. I don’t know that we can ever completely eliminate the possibility of it ever happening here because the fact of the matter is it can happen here. But we want to be as prepared as we possibly can.” Councilman Tim Zale, who also attended the forum, said the police department has been well trained on how to deal with active shooters for many years. “There was a lot of good information at the meeting. The thing to remember is that we started getting really serious about this when we put SROs [Student Resource Officers] in the schools,” said Zale. “We debated about doing that for a long time before we did that. It turns out that was probably one of the best things we’ve ever done. Some of the SROs, through the years, have changed, and we’ve had the same group for quite a while.” A.L.I.C.E The SROs, he added, pushed for police training in the national A.L.I.C.E. program, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. The program provides preparation and a plan on how to more proactively handle the threat of an aggressive intruder or active shooter event. A.L.I.C.E. training based tactics have become the accepted response compared to the traditional “lockdown only” approach.

We have some experts in Oregon in this particular program. They have taken this very seriously. Our police department has been behind them all the way. We’ve been ahead of the curve for this kind of thing. We’re years ahead on how to handle this. I go back to the days when I was still in the police department when we initially trained for it, and how we transitioned and train for it now.” Zale said previous training had officers organize outside of the building where an active shooter was located. It is no longer the case today. Enter alone “When we first trained for it, before A.L.I.C.E. was actually a real program, we were trained to gather at the building, and everyone went in as a group. We were more tactical in that respect. I don’t know how other cities are doing it, but in our training now, when officers arrive, they go in by themselves. They don’t wait. That’s a lot of dedication that the officers have trained for and, I think, do fearlessly. We’re really lucky to have the programs that we have and how well we work with the schools, especially with the training we’ve given them and the SROs we’ve provided them with. I’m proud of what our city has done with this.” Councilman James Seaman, a former psychologist with the Toledo Public Schools District, said some have brought up the idea of possibly arming teachers with guns as a way to protect schools. “I don’t think that’s a good idea,” said Seaman. “Most people feel we should let our law enforcement officers take care of that. Let the teachers just take care of the teaching. I think we’re better off that way. We could open ourselves up for additional problems. Oregon, as Mr. Zale said, has been on the cutting edge. That’s great that we’re ahead of the curve.”

Water plan to be discussed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments will host a meeting to discuss its water quality management plan and its draft agenda for Lake Erie March 7 at the Ottawa County Emergency Operations Center in Port Clinton. The meeting is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. The operations center is located at 315 Madison St. The Areawide Water Quality Management Plan, also known as the 208 plan from the section of the Federal Clean Water Act, is a major TMACOG policy document that outlines the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities for managing wastewater and its infrastructure as well as managing urban stormwater, agricultural runoff and septic systems. The areawide region covers Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, and Wood Counties in Ohio, and Bedford, Erie, and Whiteford townships of Monroe County, Michigan Proposed updates to the plan will be discussed, said Mary Pat McCarthy, a TMACOG spokesperson. Area projects that have been completed or are starting under the 208 plan include a sanitary sewer project in the Village of Lindsey and upgrades to the waste water treatment plant. The village now shares operations with Sandusky County on the water and wastewater plants. Also, a planning area that encompassed the Village of Gibsonburg was changed to include White Star Park. Pumps at the waste water treatment plant and new storm sewers are also part of the plan. In Ottawa County, a sewer project in the Curtice-Williston area is being planned. According to the county sanitary engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, the project was spurred by sampling by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Lucas County and Ottawa County health departments that found excessive levels of e-coli and fecal coliform in Crane, Wolf and Cedar creeks. A general plan will have to be created that outlines the various options for the design of the collection system and where the sewage would ultimately be treated, Steven Lange, an engineer with the office said, adding the Village of Genoa and the City of Oregon are treatment options.

Cadet changes his focus to flight-training three months of ground school followed by nine months of getting in a plane and becoming qualified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what my ultimate plans are,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to get qualified to travel the world and do the Air Force mission.â&#x20AC;? And while flying is in his blood now, wrestling has not left. Ulinski worked this year as an assistant wrestling coach at Air Academy High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I help almost every day,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get in there and wrestle with them.â&#x20AC;? Ulinski was excited to be part of a program â&#x20AC;&#x153;just starting to be establishedâ&#x20AC;? with the proof being five wrestlers qualifying for the 4A State Tournament at the Pepsi Center in Denver. One â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jason Hanenberg â&#x20AC;&#x201D; captured a state title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being from Ohio, I brought another style along with my attitude to the program,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was able to bring a lot of new things that they had never seen.â&#x20AC;? Coaching was right up there with being a wrestler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a demanding sport thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really mental, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be in great shape,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when you win, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no greater feeling.â&#x20AC;? Though, perhaps, flying a plane is right there with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so impressed with him,â&#x20AC;? Ulinskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father said of his son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commitment he has to excellence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his military requirements, his athletic requirements and his academy requirements â&#x20AC;&#x201D; makes me proud. Their motto is service before self and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely doing what he was trained to do.â&#x20AC;? As for where it takes Ulinski four or five years from now? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be somewhere overseas loving life and flying,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helping serve my country.â&#x20AC;?

By Bruce Hefflinger Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The work ethic and discipline required to be a four-time state participant in wrestling is paying off in college for Evan Ulinski. The 2014 Woodmore graduate, a threetime state placer in wrestling including runner-up finishes as a junior and senior, is completing his last year at the United States Air Force Academy with pilot training in the plans following graduation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to give back and serve my country,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski said of his decision to attend Air Force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time, I could realize my dream of being a pilot.â&#x20AC;? Upon arriving at the Air Force Academy as a freshman, Ulinski was part of the wrestling program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was tough,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A busy day would include going to class, all the military training, wrestling room practice and then studying the rest of the night. It was a grueling schedule.â&#x20AC;? Steve Ulinski, the head wrestling coach at Woodmore, remembers the difficulty it presented for his son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traveling on the west coast swing he had to miss a lot of class,â&#x20AC;? the elder Ulinski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to be a pilot you have to finish so high in your class, so it was not the best thing for that to do so much traveling.â&#x20AC;? Still, it was a memorable year on the mat for Ulinski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fun and great to compete,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski reflected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had the most pins on the team and had a record of something like 15-6 or so. But I just wore down.â&#x20AC;? Instead, he took the traits used to be successful on the mat and used them in his studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hard work, work ethic, accountability,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski said about what he takes from wrestling into his schooling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the mat itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only you and up in the plane the same thing is true.â&#x20AC;? Ulinski credits his father for the strong qualities he possesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given me all of the values,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski said about his dad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The work ethic and the positive attitude I approach every problem with he gave me.â&#x20AC;? It has the 22-year-old getting ready for pilot training at a base in Columbus, Mississippi upon graduation from the Air Force Academy. Being one of the top 400 pilot slots in his class was a huge accomplishment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to medically qualify and have a certain amount of flying honors,â&#x20AC;? Ulinski explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you have to score well on the AFOQT (Air Force Officer Qualifying Test) and the TBAS (Test of Basic Aviation Skills).â&#x20AC;? The actual pilot training will involve

Support steel To the editor: President Trump promised to shore up the American steel industry last year when he announced a “Section 232” investigation. The trade rule lets the Department of Commerce investigate whether imports are a threat to national security. If so, he can impose import quotas or tariffs. There’s a good case for them regarding steel imports. Steel is cheap around the world because the world’s biggest steel industry – in China – is mostly state-owned. The government pays the bills, won’t turn the mills off whether or not there’s demand for it, and that means American steelworkers are competing with a foreign government that’s driving prices down.

There are plenty of steelworkers in Ohio and the steel companies here pay their own bills. If American steel goes out of business, the steel that goes into our infrastructure and military will be imported. If you think that’s no problem then I have a bridge to sell you. I hope President Trump sticks to his campaign pledge to stand up for steel. Workers are watching. Dave Bilski Perrysburg Editor’s note: Ohio Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman and Representative Marcy Kaptur have also expressed support for taking action on steel imports following the report by the commerce department

The unassuming residential road in the shadow of Sun Oil Refinery (now Toledo Refinery) was named after a world-famous trotter owned by George H. Ketcham.

The stallion held records on both mile and half-mile tracks across the country and earned his owner more than $102,000 in prize money. He was retired in 1903.

After graduation, he played in the Toledo Federation League where he broke his thumb. The injury did not deter him from his dream of playing professional baseball. He wrote to every major league team to no avail. He finally hooked up with Arandas in the Mexican Winter League earning $500 a month. Guerrero compiled a 5-2 record with a 2.74 ERA.

Fast-casual Asian fusion restaurant opens in Northwood By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer features@presspublications.com

“

I was frustrated and I thought “WTF?” to myself

“

What the Fried Rice, also known as WTF-R, opened Feb. 20 at 2509 Oregon Rd. in Northwood. The name has people talking…and coming in to check things out. The brainchild of Li Yu and Shawn Reinhart, the new restaurant promises Asian fusion food served fresh and fast. Yu came to this country from South Korea when he was 15. His family owned the former Fu Yi Chinese Restaurant in Holland, Ohio. “I have been in the food business 30 years now,” Yu said. “I started as a dishwasher and worked my way up.” When his parents retired, Yu and his wife Sarah opened Spicy Tuna Sushi Bar and Grill, in the same location. After selling that restaurant to their former employees, the couple went on to open Tea Tree Asian Bistro in Levis Commons in Perrysburg. According to Yu, he began thinking of the concept for WTF-R around six years ago. “I wanted to do a fast-casual restaurant for quite some time,” he said. “I kept thinking about it and thinking about it, but I could not come up with a name. I was frustrated and I thought ‘WTF?’” to myself. Then it hit me. It really is a catchy name.” Reinhart said the name has brought in a few customers. “I laughed when he told me the name,” Reinhart said. “We have had a few people come in because they saw the name and they were intrigued. It is funny to people when they first hear it. To me, it is kind of like Fricker’s and their Frickin’ Chicken Wings. It is catchy and people remember it.” Reinhart and Yu have been friends since their days at Bowsher High School. Reinhart went on to get his Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of Toledo. He is employed as an environmental health and safety manager. This is his first foray into the restaurant field. “I really liked the idea of an Asian Fusion restaurant that prepares food fast,” he said. “All of the food is very fresh and not frozen. So far, everyone seems to really like it as well.” WTF-R offers Asian Fusion, meaning it combines elements of Chinese, Japanese,

Korean and Thai food into fried rice, noodle, and other dishes. “It is a new fast-casual restaurant offering high-quality food in half the time,” Yu said. “Everything is prepared fresh your way.” Customers can choose the ingredients they would like in their fried rice or noodle dishes. “You get to pick your rice, protein, vegetable and flavor,” Yu said. “Everything is then cooked for you in under two minutes. It is done your way quickly.” Brown and white rice are available. Protein choices include chicken, pork, bacon and shrimp or more exotic choices like pork belly, tofu and squid. Veggies include onions, peas, carrots, mushrooms, and chestnuts to jalapenos and fresh basil. Finally, you get to pick a flavor like traditional soy, yellow curry or even kimchee, a Korean dish made up of fermented vegetables, cabbage, and daikon radish. For those who want noodles their way, options include Lo Mein, Drunken Skinny noodles and Udon. Other entrées on the menu at WTF-R include Pad Thai, General Tzu’s Chicken, Miso soup, egg rolls, pork dumplings and more. “We will sauté your delicious dish in minutes,” Yu said. “We also offer gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. Everything is fresh and healthy and the way you want it.” Thirsty? WTF-R has Boba tea and smoothies “your way” as well. Choices include milk tea, Thai tea and mango and peach smoothies. Chews include rainbow jellies, mango star jellies, strawberry-coconut jellies, peach poppies, lychee poppies and passion fruit poppies. Want an extra flavor? You can add almond, coconut, honeydew and red bean. “It has been a short first week, but we feel very welcome already,” Yu said. “We like Northwood and we appreciate everyone’s business. There are so many restaurants and the fact that people have chosen us says a lot.” WTF-R is open Sunday through Thursday, from 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m. On Friday and Saturday, you can get your Asian Fusion on from 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m. To view a full menu or to order online, visit www.whatthefriedrice.com.

Behind St. Patrick’s Day symbol Many people consider St. Patrick’s Day their favorite holiday. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations tend to be short on formality, long on fun and synonymous with various sights, sounds and symbols that make the holiday so special. Shamrock – In ancient Ireland, the shamrock symbolized rebirth, particularly the rebirth of warmer weather. But the shamrock also has more specific ties to St. Patrick, and remains one of the most recognizable symbols associated with his feast day. Historians believe that, on his return to Ireland (a native of Great Britain, St. Patrick was first taken to Ireland after being kidnapped by pirates, later returning as a Christian missionary after his release), St. Patrick used the shamrock to teach the natives about the Holy Trinity. In fact, an image of St. Patrick holding a shamrock first appeared on coins in 1675. The shamrocks status as a symbol would continue to evolve when it became a figure of Irish patriotism during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. In 2003, the shamrock was registered as an

international trademark by the Irish government. Irish Seisiœn – St. Patrick’s Day celebrants who are not of Irish descent and/or those who have never visited Ireland may not know it, but the live music they may hear when entering a pub on St. Patrick’s Day is an integral part of the fabric of Irish culture. An Irish Seisiœn typically finds a group of musicians gathered in a pub to play traditional Irish music, oftentimes while seated at a table among their audience. While many pubs reserve stage areas for their musicians on St. Patrick’s Day, the spirit of seisiœn is still present, as musicians often interact with the audience. The Tricolour – Many establishments display the familiar Irish tricolour flag on St. Patrick’s Day, and paradegoers may even wave miniature versions of this significant symbol in support of those marching. This instantly recognizable flag has a rich history. Equal parts green, white and orange, the flag was designed to foster peace in the country that had experienced consid-

ls, signs, history erable turmoil due to the divide between the country’s Protestant and Catholic residents. The green in the flag represents the Irish Catholics, while the orange represents the Irish Protestants. The white is a symbol of hope for peace between the two factions. Though Ireland established the tricolour as its national flag in 1921, it first appeared much earlier when Irish national Thomas Francis Meagher unfurled it in 1848. Green – The color green is everywhere come St. Patrick’s Day, but celebrants may be surprised to learn that blue is the color that was once most affiliated with St. Patrick himself. Numerous paintings depict St. Patrick wearing blue vestments. But green is the color now most instantly associated with Ireland, which is widely referred to as the “Emerald Isle.” Ireland’s lush countryside and rolling green hills attract millions of visitors each year. The color green can be found just about everywhere on St. Patrick’s Day, even if Patrick himself was partial to blue.

Clay grapplers have luxury of head coaches galore By Bruce Hefflinger Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There is a lot that goes into winning a TRAC title six times in the seven years Ralph Cubberly has been head coach of the Clay wrestling program. It takes good wrestlers, commitment, desire, hard work and … a dedicated coaching staff. “Our entire staff, from youth through the high school program, functions as a cohesive unit,” Cubberly noted. “We understand the role each of us plays in the program. From a coaching standpoint, there are no egos. The entire staff has a say in the way things are run in the program and we agree with what we are trying to achieve. “We want our athletes to be great wrestlers but also good citizens in the community. We understand there is more to life than just wrestling and the values we instill in these young men and the lessons they learn from the sport will take them far in life.” Drew Lashaway, Gerry Anthony, Travis Traxler, Rich Wagner and Troy McLaughlin comprise the staff for the Eagles, which last week took home a Division I sectional title for the seventh consecutive year under the direction of Cubberly and company. All except Lashaway are former head coaches. “The Clay program is capable of providing the best possible environment for kids to develop,” explained Traxler, an 18year veteran in the coaching ranks. “We have a combination of high-level coaching, facilities, administrative support and financial resources that are only found in the elite programs of the country.” Wagner, a former head coach at Genoa, Fostoria and Eastwood, understands what it takes to be successful. “The coaches all work together as a team with the same basic goals,” pointed out Wagner, a coach for 35 years. “Most of us have been head coaches at one time and can give valuable experience to the program. If we have an issue with something, someone on the staff probably has had some experience with that issue and can give advice on how to handle it.” Added McLaughlin: “Everyone is a great coach and brings their strengths to the program. We have former head coaches with more than a couple hundred years of combined experience that have coached multiple national teams in folkstyle and freestyle/Greco, so we mix and blend very well. We even have a strength and nutrition coach.” That would be Anthony, a former physical education teacher at Clay who has been involved in the sport for 30 years. “I teach the athletes to make weight safely and recover from matches during competitions,” explained Anthony, who has a Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Exercise. “We supply the athletes with prematch meals and nutrition between matches in competitions. We feel this gives us an overall edge. Our weight lifting program is both in-season and out, utilizing Olympic lifts and functional exercises.” The youngest still a veteran Lashaway is the youngest of the group, with eight years of coaching experience. “I personally try to bring a high intensity, a good role model and positive influence to our program,” said Lashaway, a former MAC champion and NCAA Division

Clay coaches Rich Wagner, Shane Miller, Mark Beach, Gerry Anthony, Ralph Cubberly, Travis Traxler, and Drew Lashaway. I qualifier while wrestling at Kent State where he was an assistant coach upon graduation. “We ask our student-athletes to push past their comfort zones in training. Gaining trust and building relationships with every individual will create an atmosphere where kids will start to push each other and compete at a high level automatically. “I bring some of my past experiences both as an athlete and coaching at the highest collegiate level to our program,” Lashaway continued. “I am very passionate about our sport and will do whatever it takes to be successful as a program.” Knowing their own individual job is a key according to Traxler. “Each coach here has different roles and accepts those roles, knowing that it’s what is best for the program,” Traxler said. “We have a coach that takes care of nutrition, a coach for running tournaments and facilities, a coach for high intensity prematch workouts, someone that puts together off-season training etc. And we get along outside of wrestling, too.” Relating to each and every person associated with the program, even some outside it, is additionally beneficial. “We have a tremendous amount of community support,” Cubberly said. “Our school administration is second to none and they are very willing to give this program every opportunity to be very good. The wrestling parents and athletes understand the commitment level expected from them and they buy into the training it takes to be a champion.” Looking to the future is part of the program as well. “I have many college connections at all levels of college,” Cubberly said. “This resource is also very helpful as it gives me a plethora of resources when training athletes. It’s nice to be able to make a phone call and be able to get a clinician to come in and teach or work out in our room with our athletes.” That can go a long way to helping a Clay wrestler stay involved in the sport at the next level. “One of the main goals we have is to

phy,” said McLaughlin, the current head coach of a junior high program that has won the TRAC four of the last five years and this year qualified for the State Duals for the third time. “It’s a watered-down version and when they’re freshmen the kids are able to pick up details very quickly.” Cubberly understands the importance of the youth program. “Our junior high is able to travel to the top competitions in the state and that prepares our junior high wrestlers for the high school team very well,” the Clay mentor said. “The program mirrors what we do in high school on everything from travel on weekends to the techniques we utilize at the varsity level. The junior high staff is very good and committed to keeping the tradition at Clay alive and well.” It is a tradition that is the envy of the TRAC.

NW Eagles climb back to claim President’s Day trophy By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Longtime coach Justin Crawford finished his 12th season with the Northwest Eagles Hockey Club much like he started it nearly five months ago — feeling sky high. Who can blame Crawford? His team limped into the annual Lake Erie Panthers President’s Day Tournament in Euclid. They had closed the regular season with three straight losses, and then the Eagles soared away with the championship trophy on the strength of four wins over Lake (5-3), the host Panthers (5-2), the Pittsburgh Arctic Foxes (8-2), and the Harbor Creek Huskies by a combined score of 22-10. The Eagles clipped the Huskies in the championship, 4-3. It was a gutsy effort that put an exclamation point on a season that was encumbered by adversity, disappointments, and a final record of 12-26-1. “My expectations were high coming into this season, as we were returning a lot of talented players,” says Crawford, a lifelong resident of Bowling Green. The Eagles traces its roots all the way back to 1998. That’s when a group of likeminded parents who were passionate about hockey set out to start a varsity team at Eastwood, but couldn’t come up with the numbers to fill out a roster. Instead, they opted for a club team, which played under the name Eastwood Eagles Hockey Club until five years ago, when it was changed to the Northwest Eagles. The team had nearly always finished over .500 against varsity competition, but not this year. “Right before the season started we lost two of our better players in Eastwood senior defenseman Ian Downard, who tore his ACL and meniscus during football season,” continues Crawford, “and forward James Koehler of Van Buren, who left us to focus on indoor track. “We did pick up some new players who were able to fill the void,” the coach continues, “but, we struggled early with penalties and finding our team chemistry. We also played a much harder schedule

than we have in past years. But, the team has been working hard to improve, and we played a much better second half of the season.” They did lose 5-4, in overtime, to Harbor Creek in game one of the Lake Erie tournament to finish 4-1. Three of the key cogs in the Eagles’ second half surge were forward Brandon Maas (16 goals, 19 assists), center Drew Wilson (16 G, 16 A) and forward Owen Jardine (9 G, 20 A), who were responsible for most of the Eagles’ offensive production. A 6 foot tall, 175 pound sophomore out of Bluffton, Wilson wears the captain’s “C” for the Eagles. Crawford says he plays more of a finesse game, which often showcases adept stick work, slick passing, and wicked

dangles, to go along with mature leadership. The leading scorer with 35 points is Maas. A six foot, 160 pound junior at Liberty-Benton who is Wilson’s polar opposite. Maas is more of a blue collar player, a grinder, in that he loves to venture into corners to dig out pucks and to park himself in front of the net, where he can set screens, stuff in rebounds, and tip in deflections. A disciplined blueliner who rarely takes penalties and serves as another of the team’s captains, sophomore Cayden Rayle helped anchor Crawford’s defense along with the goaltender duo of Zac Collum and Dalton Diels. A 5-11, 260 pound junior at Lakota, Collum is the veteran, having finished his

third season with the program, and brings good size to protect the net as well as a knack for finding the puck in traffic. His counterpart, Diels, a 6-0, 150 pound freshman from Gibsonburg, was something of a newbie between the pipes for the Eagles this year, but Crawford says he demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt quickly to the fast pace of the high school game via his own quickness and athleticism. Players the Eagles will miss next fall read like a family tree: forward/defenseman Hayden Iwinski (Springfield), who notched 12 goals and 12 assists; defenseman Daniel Suto (Clay), who was good for nine and nine; fellow D-Man Logan Grow (Springfield), who had one and eight; and of course, Eastwood’s own Downard.

Hitting .300 over an extended baseball career usually lands a player in the hall of fame, but winning 30 percent of the time in a team sport is not recommended. Lake’s boys basketball team finished 7-16 this season following a 69-60 sectional tournament loss to Gibsonburg (9-14) on Tuesday. Second-year coach Jeff Limes is trying to build something with the Flyers, who finished 4-10 in the Northern Buckeye Conference, one day at a time. “All my seniors, I give them credit,” Limes said. “We had a great summer with all these players and a great fall. We grew and progressed as the season went on. I’m looking forward to next year and getting things rolling.” Limes said he started a local youth basketball program last year that continues to grow. His goal is to change the hoops culture at Lake. “We have good kids down on the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade level,” Limes said, “and our seventh and eighth grade kids have some (talent) too. We’re looking forward to that.” The Flyers graduate four seniors, two of whom started all season and a third who started later in the season. Limes said the Gibsonburg game was somewhat indicative of how the season played out for Lake. The Flyers and Golden Bears were tied 33-33 at halftime, but Lake “came out really flat” in the third quarter and scored just eight points. “We have the capability,” Limes said. “We showed against Genoa that we can play against anybody when we play together as a group and do things right. We missed a few boxouts (Tuesday) night, and you can’t afford to do that against a scrappy team like Gibsonburg. That’s been our entire season. We play well one game and then take a few steps back the next game. When we needed to put things together, we did, just like we did against Genoa.” On Feb. 20 at Lake, the Flyers pulled off what was probably considered the upset of the season in the NBC. The Flyers got 22 points from Ben Stowers and 16 from Ahmad Smith and handed the NBC champion Comets (18-4, 13-1) their lone conference loss of the season. Lake went 17-of-25 from the free throw line and outrebounded Genoa by a 30-23 margin. That win came on the heels of a fivegame losing streak, when the Flyers didn’t have anything to play for except pride. “We had a specific game plan and the kids stuck with it,” Limes said. “We were able to change up defenses, which caused Genoa some problems. Before the game I told them we needed to play relaxed and just have fun. We had nothing to lose and

just leave everything on the court.” Smith, a senior forward, and Stowers, a senior guard, started all season for the Flyers. Senior point guard Mikey Szymanski started after the halfway point of the season. Smith led Lake in scoring (15 ppg.), rebounding (7.4 rpg.) and assists (2.4 apg.) and was named to the All-NBC second team. “I would like to see him play at the next level,” Limes said. “He’s a big kid who can handle the ball and shoot outside. He could post up if we needed him to post up inside. He was the other team’s main focus. He would get double- and triple-teamed, and he would being the ball down the floor for us.” Stowers, an honorable mention allconference selection, averaged 10.3 points and five rebounds a game. “He really turned it on toward the end of season,” Limes said. “He was another guy who could get to the basket and get to the free throw line.” Limes said Szymanski was “my defensive guy.” “He’s quick and he jumps well for a shorter guy,” the coach said. “We used him a lot in certain things and he worked his butt off full-court. He was a guy I had no fear of putting on their best players.” Junior forward Luke Walsh, an honorable mention All-NBC pick, was one of the team leaders, Limes said. Walsh averaged 5.6 points and four rebounds a game. “He’s a very athletic kid and he was a great kid to have on the court,” Limes said. “He loves football and he plays baseball, too. He gives everything he has and he would run through a wall if you asked him to.” Joe Muetze, a junior post, averaged 3.2 points and 4.5 rebounds a game and made some key free throws down the stretch in the win over Genoa. “I like his work ethic,” Limes said. “He’s another football player and one of those gentle giants. We play him against the other team’s best post player. He bangs inside and he rebounds, and he’s always got a smile on his face.” Two other players who will be expected to lead next year’s team are junior forward Matt Pindoley and freshman point guard Tyler Saffrin. Pindoley was the first player to come off the bench this season. Saffrin started the season with the junior varsity team before Limes decided to “give him a couple of quarters at the varsity level” on Jan. 6, a 53-49 home win over Delta. “We wanted to see how he would fit into the mix,” Limes said. “He did really well. He stepped up and took the role and he ended up starting for me after that. Nothing flashy, but that’s what I expect from a freshman. We’re trying to build a program, and I think he’s going to be our point guard next year and the year after that.”

Was ‘uphill climb,’ but Eagles celebrated By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Mud Hens, Tigers extend affiliation The Toledo Mud Hens and the Detroit Tigers have extended their player development agreement through the 2020 season, cementing a relationship between these two historic franchises that dates back more than 30 years. Toledo has served as Detroit’s top minor league affiliate since 1987. In 2017, a total of 32 players saw action in both a Detroit and Toledo uniform — 11 position players and 21 pitchers. Toledo has made the post-season four times (2002, 2005, 2006, and 2007) and has won the International League’s Governors’ Cup twice (2005 & 2006) while at Fifth Third Field. The Toledo Mud Hens recently completed their 16th season at Fifth Third Field in downtown Toledo with a 70-71 record. The team has drawn over a half a million fans each season to Fifth Third Field since moving downtown in 2002. The Mud Hens drew 533,014 fans in 70 games this past season for an average of 7,614 per game. Toledo opens its 17th season at Fifth Third Field on Thursday, April 12 against the Pawtucket Red Sox, with new skipper Doug Mientkiewicz at the helm.

Clay girls basketball coach Corey Slovak called the 2017-18 season “an uphill climb,” but the Eagles still got to do their share of celebrating. The Eagles won a sectional title on Feb. 22 at Start, beating Bowsher, 56-39, behind 19 points from Elizabeth Vincent and 17 from Shannon Coughlin. The win set up Thursday’s district tournament opener against top-seeded Notre Dame Academy, the Three Rivers Athletic Conference champion. Clay entered the district tournament with a 9-14 record after finishing with a 4-10 mark in the TRAC. “We had a brutal schedule this season,” Slovak said. “With our inexperience, plus an early-season injury to Sam Stanley (who missed five games) and a late-season injury to Kennedy (Slovak, three games), it was an uphill climb all season. Half of our season was against teams that (ended up winning) 15 or more games.” The Eagles played Notre Dame, which had 19 wins, three times this season (including the tournament). They also played Central Catholic (17 wins) twice, Whitmer (16 wins) twice, Northern Lakes League champion Perrysburg (18 wins), Southview (16 wins), and Northwest Ohio Athletic League champion Delta (21 wins). The Eagles beat Bedford, which won 15 games, and they split a pair of games against 15-win Fremont Ross. Delta beat the Eagles by just one point, 51-50. Vincent, a senior center, led Clay in scoring with 11 points a game this season. She added seven rebounds a game and broke her own school record with 59 blocked shots. Vincent is the program’s career leader in blocked shots, and she earned secondteam All-TRAC honors this season. “She was our most consistent scorer and the focal point of our offense,” coach Slovak said. Vincent scored a career-high 24 points in Clay’s 51-33 win over Northview. She had 13 points and 14 rebounds in a 4735 win over St. Ursula Academy, and she scored 20 points in a 59-32 regular-season win over Bowsher. Vincent grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds against Delta, while sophomore Olivia Henneman-Dallape had 11 points and 12 rebounds against the Panthers. “We had a great effort against the 21-1 NWOAL champs,” coach Slovak said. “Delta just made one more play than we did.” Clay’s other seniors were Shannon Coughlin, Stanley and Taytem Rew. Coughlin averaged eight points, four rebounds and two assists a game.

(Press photo by Scott Grau) “They didn’t have eye-popping stats,” coach Slovak said, “but each of them played important roles in our team’s success in our nine wins and when we were competitive but may not have won.” Stanley had a career-high 14 points in Clay’s 45-40 win over Bedford. The Eagles connected on a season-high seven 3-point shots. Ross beat Clay by 27 points in the first meeting, but the Eagles responded with a 46-39 win in the rematch as Coughlin scored 16 points and junior Tiffany Stevens added a career-high 11. Henneman-Dallape had 19 points and 13 rebounds in the Eagles’ 56-55 overtime win over Lima Senior. “Our sophomores came up huge for us in that win,” coach Slovak said. “Kennedy (nine points, six assists) hit a 3-pointer with 40 seconds left to tie the game, then she blocked a layup attempt by Lima at the

buzzer to force OT.” Kennedy Slovak, a sophomore guard, averaged five points, six rebounds and five assists a game. She also led the team in steals and deflections while earning honorable mention all-conference honors. Stanley was also an honorable mention All-TRAC selection. Vincent, Slovak and Henneman-Dalape were honorable mention all-district selections. “We will have two experienced starters back next season (Slovak and HennemanDallape), plus juniors Macie Grimes and Stevens, who saw playing time and contributed,” coach Slovak said. “Two other sophomores, Faith Johnson and Alivia Rew, led our junior varsity team to 13 wins. They will be counted on to contribute next season on the varsity level. Our freshman class is very athletic, and four or five of them will compete for varsity roster spots and playing time.”

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 isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Proverbs 13:13-14 NIV
