Gov. DeWine renews focus on the health of Lake Erie Last week, local lawmakers welcomed remarks from Gov. Mike DeWine signaling a renewed focus on addressing algae blooms and the health of Lake Erie.

“We need a leader who will help restore the partnership between the state and our local communities to better solve problems and protect our greatest natural resource,” said State Rep. Paula Hicks-Hudson, who was President of Toledo City Council during the 2014 Toledo crisis, when a toxic algae bloom left nearly 500,000 Toledo area residents without clean water. “I am encouraged that the governor wants to make the health of our lake a priority, and we look forward to working with him to do just that.”

During his address, Gov. DeWine said his administration will prioritize and provide funding for Lake Erie. He also announced the creation of the “H2Ohio” fund to address issues with clean drinking water.

“While encouraged by the Governor’s willingness to make clean water a priority, I would warn him that we cannot simply spend our way out of the algae crisis,” said Representative Michael Sheehy, who was recently appointed as Ohio’s representative to the Great Lakes Legislative Caucus Executive Committee, which represents all eight states and two Canadian provinces in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence basin.

“This will be an expensive problem to solve, but without mandatory restrictions on excessive nutrient application, he runs the risk of failing Lake Erie and all his constituents that depend on it.”

“Lake Erie’s health is vital to not only our families, but our farmers and businesses too,” said Representative Lisa Sobecki.

“Northwest Ohio’s economic success depends on the quality of the lake’s water.”

With the first 800 plants harvested at its 55,000-square-foot facility in Gibsonburg, Standard Wellness is beginning the process of bringing its first batch of medical marijuana to market.

It’s expected to take a few weeks for the plants to fully dry, cure and pass lab testing.

The process starts with removal of fan leaves prior to cutting down the plants in the greenhouse. Plants are then weighed and placed on harvest carts to be moved into a climate-controlled drying room for 7-10 days, said Brandon Lynaugh, director of external relations.

The marijuana is then hand-trimmed and placed into containers to cure for another 14 days before being packaged and prepared for distribution.

“Making a difference in the lives of our patients is what we have all been working towards for the past two years,” said Erik Vaughan, chief executive officer of Standard Wellness. “It’s exciting to soon be able to provide our own line of the highest quality medical marijuana in the state to those in need.”

Forest, on Tiffin Avenue in Sandusky, O., and other dispensaries across the state this spring. The Forest is the sister company of StandardWellness.

The company was one of the applicants to be awarded a Level 1 license from the Ohio Department of Commerce in 2017 to grow medical marijuana. In its application to the state, Standard Wellness, based in Hudson, O., projected it would supply 1,250 pounds of cultivated marijuana flower product to the market this year and reach 7,000 pounds by 2023.

An enterprise zone agreement for the construction of the facility was approved by the Sandusky County commissioners and holds the company to creating jobs to qualify for 75 percent abatement on property taxes for 10 years.

In May 2017, village council approved an ordinance that ended a moratorium on granting any permits for cultivating or processing medical marijuana in the village but it still prohibits any retail dispensary.

Mayor Steve Fought said at the time that prohibiting the local sale of medical marijuana made ending the moratorium more palatable to village residents.

The law legalizing medical marijuana in Ohio went into effect in September 2016. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program allows people with certain medical conditions, upon the recommendation of an Ohio-licensed physician certified by the State Medical Board, to purchase and use medical marijuana. It may be dispensed as oils, tinctures, plant material, edibles and patches. The law prohibits smoking marijuana but allows vaporization.

According to the control program, there were 201 pounds of product sold totaling $1.52 million between Jan. 16 and March 3 of this year.

Oregon purchases new vehicles for police

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council recently approved the purchase of four vehicles for the police division.

The city purchased two 2019 Chevy Tahoe and two 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles from Dunn Chevy Buick for $137,041. That amount was reduced to $133,541 due to a trade-in credit The funds to purchase the vehicles had been allocated in the 2019 municipal budget.

Police Chief Mike Navarre said the original intent was to purchase four Ford Interceptor marked vehicles, which are SUVs the police division has used for the last four years. Navarre found out at the end of the year that Ford would be redesigning the vehicle, and that they would not be available until the end of 2019 or possibly 2020. The police division did not want to wait that long.

Sgt. Ed Depinet came up with an alternative plan – to purchase two Chevy Tahoes to be used by the supervisors, according to Navarre. The fairly new Ford Interceptors Navarre and Assistant Chief Paul Magdich have been driving would be rotated into the marked fleet. Dunn had two pre-owned Jeep Grand Cherokees

that he and Magdich could drive. They have about the same mileage as the Ford Interceptors they were rotating into the marked fleet.

He added that they would still get what they needed even though it was not what they had proposed. Navarre stated that the state contract for the Tahoes was with a dealer in Aurora, Ohio, and Dunn was able to come within $400 of the state contract bid. He said they did a comparison on the Jeep Cherokees with other local dealers and felt they were getting a better deal with Dunn. He added that they felt very comfortable purchasing all four vehicles from Dunn, and they were able to stay within the budget.

Councilman Reeves asked what vehicles would be traded in and replaced.

Navarre said they would be trading in one vehicle. He said they needed three additional vehicles this year because they added three new school resource officers.

He added that they were trading in a 2008 Chevy Trailblazer.

Equipment Council also approved the purchase of equipment and change orders for the vehicles from D.R. Ebel Police & Fire Equipment, Northwood, for $60,650.45.

“Unfortunately, there’s not going to be much changeover because we had to

purchase all new equipment for these four vehicles because we only traded in one vehicle that was 11 years old. It was outdated and of no use to us,” said Navarre.

“We requested bids. We only received one bid from D.R. Ebel,” said Navarre.

The manager of P&R told him he would not be submitting a bid.

“I’ve been very happy with D.R. Ebel’s work in the past,” said Navarre.

“This number is higher than in past years because it’s all new equipment that has to be purchased and installed. That includes the ballistic panels in the car doors.

The labor for that is quite expensive,” said Navarre.

Councilman Tim Zale asked Navarre why P&R would not be submitting a bid.

“Ebel has always done very good work for us. We’ve had P&R before. I’m curious as to whether they gave you a reason why,” said Zale.

“P&R said it was difficult to compete and make any money because D.R. Ebel buys the equipment in much larger quantities than they can. He basically said he can’t compete with that. They are very happy with the business they get from us.

They get all of our radio business.”

Mayor Mike Seferian said D.R. Ebel is one of the distributors of some of the equipment, and P&R would have to buy the equipment through D.R. Ebel.

Lake Twp.

Prosecutor asked to review berm requirements

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township administration is asking the Wood County prosecutor’s office to review a transcript of a township zoning hearing held last May. Mark Hummer, township administrator, said during Tuesday’s meeting of the township trustees, that a copy of a court reporter transcript of the zoning hearing has been forwarded to the prosecutor’s office to clarify stipulations imposed by the township on a request to rezone property along Woodville Road.

During the hearing, the trustees voted 2-1 to approve a request from Jim Mlynek, owner of Woodville Road Nursery, to rezone land from R-2 residential to B-2 commercial where he temporarily stores piles of leaves before composting them at his nursery on the other side of Woodville Road.

The stipulations included a requirement that Mlynek construct a four-foothigh berm around the perimeter of the site along Bailey Road. Trees were also stipulated.

Mlynek is challenging a directive

from the township’s zoning office that the berm must also be 25 feet wide.

Residents of Bailey have complained about odors and dust from the rezoned site and have said the township hasn’t enforced the width requirement.

In addition to the transcript compiled by a court reporter, there are also minutes from the township’s audio recording of the hearing.

A recent letter from Mlynek’s attorney to the township says the township’s minutes of the hearing make no mention the berm should be 25 feet wide but the minutes do reference a 25-foot setback.

The letter also contends other nearby commercial properties weren’t required to install berms.

Recycling questions In other business Tuesday, Hummer reported his office is in discussions with Republic Services, the township’s waste hauler, to reach an agreement on recycling.

Hummer said Republic customers recently received bills retro-active to January for recycling, including those who didn’t sign up for recycling.

“They (Republic) have the belief that recycling and trash pick-up are mutually dependent,” Hummer said Wednesday.

The township is in the first year of a three-year contact for trash hauling service with Republic. Hummer said it is the township’s position that residents can opt out of the recycling service, which costs residents $5.08 a month for having recyclables picked up twice a month.

Trash collection costs $12.93 a month for weekly service plus $2.90 for renting 96-gallon bins.

Those prices are lower than other haulers charge for similar or reduced service, Hummer said.

Several residents attended the meeting with questions about the bills.

The trustees also approved a resolution approving appropriations for 2019 totaling $5.3 million, including $1.1 million for the general fund.

Major planned expenses include $300,000 for road projects from the general fund and down payments of $50,000 and $100,000 respectively for a new dump truck and a new ambulance from other funds.

Patrol enforcement Ohio State Highway Patrol Troopers are trained to look beyond the initial traffic stop for possible indicators of criminal activity. In 2018, the Patrol investigated a wide range of felony offenses and saw an increase in total drug arrests from 2017.

Troopers made 16,956 total drug arrests, representing a 2 percent increase compared to 2017 and a 20 percent jump over the previous three-year average (2015-2017).

“Our highways are often used during the transportation of illegal drugs and other crimes,” said Lt. Angel Burgos of the Bowling Green Post. “By looking for criminal indicators during a traffic stop, troopers are able to keep illegal items, such as drugs, out of our communities.”

Quantities of drug seizures in 2018 substantially increased over 2017. Seizures of methamphetamine saw a 197 percent increase; fentanyl a 151 percent increase; cocaine a 94 percent increase and heroin a 78 percent increase, far surpassing 2017 totals. In fact, troopers recorded historic drug seizures in 2018, with two methamphetamine seizures consisting of 141.8 pounds and 94.6 pounds.

Troopers also conducted three of the top 10 heroin seizures on record.

Motorists are reminded that public involvement is critical to highway safety. Call #677 to report impaired drivers or drug activity.

Gov. DeWine renews focus on the health of Lake Erie Continued from front page

Signed in 2018, Ohio Senate Bill 299 provided $23.5 million for soil and water conservation districts (SWCD) located in the Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB) for nutrient management programs. ODA has already distributed $3.5 million to 24 SWCDs in Northwest Ohio.

“Water quality is a top priority of our administration,” said Gov. Mike DeWine.

“Roughly three million Ohioans rely on Lake Erie for their drinking water. These programs are a good step toward promoting better water quality, and more will come.”

the 4R principles are put into place.

•The Cost Share and Equipment Buy Down Program will provide producers with funds to purchase technological improvements to agricultural land, equipment and structures to reduce nutrient loss; “This $20 million suite of practices will go a long way toward our clean water initiatives and helping us set the tone for water quality efforts statewide,” said Pelanda. “Our agency looks forward to working with producers to implement meaningful programs that make progress toward our common goals of soil and water conservation.”

Programs At the Ohio Federation of Soil and Water Conservation Districts annual meeting last month, Pelanda announced plans for the remaining $20 million, to be spread across three new assistance programs: •The Ohio Working Lands Program will encourage producers to establish yearround vegetative cover on eligible crop land. The program will promote the conversion, establishment and maintenance of forage/hay land on certain cropland acres.

Also, there will be a new incentive payment to encourage producers to re-enroll acreage through the Lake Erie Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program. This will help reach the 67,000 acre goal and increase conservation efforts; •The Voluntary Nutrient Management Plan Development Program will be a partnership with the Ohio Agribusiness Association, in which producers are reimbursed for soil testing and nutrient management plans. This would help to ensure

Proper stewardship “Ohio’s farmers are committed to doing their part to keep nutrients on our fields and out of our water and these programs will help us do that,” said Kris Swartz, Past President of the Ohio Federation of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Northwest Ohio farmer. “I’m confident interest for these programs will be strong and I know our soil and water districts are ready to put them into practice.”

“Our members understand how important our role is helping farmers practice proper nutrient stewardship and the 4R’s,” said Chris Henney, President and CEO of the Ohio Agribusiness Association. “We’re excited to be part of these programs and stand ready to help Northwest Ohio farmers.”

Producers located in the Western Lake Erie Basin are encouraged to contact their local soil and water conservation district office to learn more and sign up for these new programs.

Quarry dumping opponents laud court

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A motion filed by the Benton Township trustees for summary judgment to block certain operations at a township quarry has been granted by Ottawa County Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters.

In his ruling, the judge wrote that Rocky Ridge Development, LLC, was digging pits in agriculturally-zoned land and mixing spent lime from the City of Toledo water treatment plant and burying it in the pits.

“This activity does not constitute a permitted use under the Benton Township zoning regulations in an A-3 (agriculture) district although defendants (Rocky Ridge Development) are properly engaged in the activity in the M-3 (heavy industrial) district,” Judge Winters wrote. “The court finds by clear and convincing evidence that a permanent injunction is necessary to prevent irreparable harm and that plaintiff does not have an equitable remedy at law.

Thus, the motion for summary judgment filed by Benton Township is granted.”

Residents fear the lime sludge endangers an aquifer that is the source of their drinking water.

A bench trial set to start March 18 has been cancelled, according to the court docket.

“The Benton Township Quarry

Dumping Opposition is pleased with the ruling granting the permanent injunction.

Together we would like to thank Ottawa County Prosecutor James Vaneerten and Ottawa County Common Pleas Judge Bruce Winters for their time and attention to this important case. Water is our most valuable resource and we need to protect it for our families and for future generations. This is another example of ‘if you see something say something.’ Without observant neighbors and the support of area residents willing to come together for a common cause this situation might have gone on unchecked. We hope our efforts inspire others to be aware, research and take action,” Brenda Weidner, a member of the group and resident who lives near the quarry, said.

In 2014, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency issued a Land Application Management Permit to Rocky Ridge Development, allowing the company to use spent lime in a soil blend to increase elevation, and improve drainage around the quarry. The permit was amended in February 2017 but within weeks the township trustees filed a complaint in common pleas court alleging that Rocky Ridge Development and Stansley Industries were violating the permit and local zoning regulations and creating a public nuisance.

In a motion filed last year with the court, attorneys for Rocky Ridge Development argued the township’s zoning regulations are

in conflict with state law.

Citing Ohio Revised Code, the motion says the Ohio EPA has the authority to regulate the disposal of industrial wastes.

Also, Ohio Administrative Code further allows the “beneficial use of industrial wastes, particularly drinking water treatment material (such as spent lime) from the treatment of a public water system’s source water supply.”

“Under the regulatory scheme, a beneficial use may include but is not limited to use for agronomic benefit as a replacement of a raw material; as a soil amendment, fertilizer or structural fill, or as fill,” the motion says.

Vaneerten, representing the township, countered that the local zoning regulations were compatible with state law.

“The purpose of a zoning resolution or ordinance is quite separate and distinct from that of an Ohio EPA regulation, since the former controls land usage in an area while the latter concerns the procedures for protecting the environment and its inhabitants,” his response to the Rocky Ridge Development motion says. “In the instant case, the LAMP permit issued by the state does not mean the defendants can conduct activities in Benton Township where the use classifications are violated. It certainly does not permit the defendants to completely ignore the zoning code as they have done in this case.”

“

The goal is not to constantly shift speed limits or install new speed limit signs on all of Ohio’s roads throughout the state.

“

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has released more details about a proposal in the next two-year transportation budget, House Bill 62, to identify specific roadways where variable speed limits could enhance driver safety.

“The goal is not to constantly shift speed limits or install new speed limit signs on all of Ohio’s roads throughout the state. Instead, ODOT wants the ability to study specific stretches of roadway,” said ODOT Director Jack Marchbanks. “We would analyze crash data, look at any peculiar weather phenomena, and see how congestion affects travel time to determine if a variable speed limit, one that changes only in certain conditions – such as bad weather - would improve safety along that specific stretch of road.”

Currently, using a variable speed limit (other than in school and construction zones) is limited by law to three sites in Ohio: I-90 from east of Cleveland to the Pennsylvania border; I-670 in Columbus and I-275 near Cincinnati. If approved by the Ohio General Assembly, House Bill 62 would allow ODOT to explore the use of variable speed limits on other corridors and to install variable speed limit signs only on limited stretches of road where an analysis shows there would be a significant safety benefit.

“This proposal is part of ODOT’s efforts to protect drivers and passengers on our roads. Variable speed limits don’t make sense in every location, but they can have a huge impact on travel safety in some areas.

We want to ensure we’re picking strategic locations where weather or traffic conges

tion create a frequent hazard to motorists,” Marchbanks said. “We only want to use it where we believe it will make a difference in safety.”

Ohio’s first variable speed limit pilot is a 12-mile stretch of I-90 in Lake County where lake effect snow regularly causes whiteout conditions that can lead to multivehicle pileups. Since the variable speed limit signs were installed, there have been no fatalities on that stretch of interstate during snowfall and only one serious injury. Crashes during snowfall have dropped by more than 50 percent.

Although the use of variable speed limits is a relatively new concept in Ohio, they have been very successful in other states, and other parts of the world, at reducing crashes. In Europe, crashes dropped by nearly 30 percent since using variable speed limits during rush hour in highly congested areas. Secondary crashes, the result of backed up traffic caused by an earlier crash, dropped by 50 percent.

H-2 Ohio Fund The Lucas County Commissioners gave the following response on Tuesday to Gov. Mike DeWine’s proposal for a new H-2 Ohio Fund in his State of the State speech at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus: “On Aug. 2, 2014 over 500,000 residents of Lucas County and Northwest Ohio went without clean, safe drinking water for three days due to the detection of microcystin in treated drinking water. Since then, the Lucas County Commissioners have advocated for a more proactive response from state officials. Lucas County continues to be a leader in addressing the harmful algal blooms by funding programs, such as Clear Water 2, the Nutrient Source Inventory Tool, and sponsoring the development of habitat restoration plans.

“The County Commissioners are encouraged by Mr. DeWine’s enthusiasm to find solutions to clean up Lake Erie, and welcome the willingness by the state to invest in resources to restore the lake back to health.

“We must ensure that taxpayer dollars yield results. That means measuring the actual nutrient reductions that are achieved through the projects that are funded. The Commissioners urge the governor to put an accountability mechanism in place “Remember, the western basin of Lake Erie has been declared in distress.

For us, we need to move out of distress.

We need specific non-point source measurements to help the lake recover. We hope the proposed H-2 Ohio Fund can help the impaired distress designation move forward.

“Last spring, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency released its Nutrient Mass Balance Study that details nutrient loads coming out of Lake Erie’s largest tributaries, including the Maumee River. What we learned from this study is that Ohio is not on target to meet the mutually agreed upon goal made by Michigan, Ohio, and Ontario to reduce the nutrients going into Lake Erie by 40 percent before 2025.

“Despite state and federal leaders continuing to allocate funding to the issue, we are not making progress. The findings in the Mass Balance Study support our continued call for accountability for the money being spent on solutions.

“Lake Erie is an economic driver for the entire Great Lakes region. Hundreds of thousands of families depend on a healthy Lake Erie for clean drinking water, financial livelihood, and recreational opportunities. Our hope is that not only can we celebrate the significant investment of money being made, but actually achieving nutrient reductions.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: What is success?

The personal success business is a significant part of our economy, with Americans spending literally billions of dollars every year in the hopes of figuring out how to be personally (and financially) successful. Much of this enterprise is materialism at its worst, with clever hucksters convincing hopeful, often greedy, or unwary marks to part with their hard-earned money in the hopes of getting rich. And while it certainly isn't fair to paint all of these success gurus with the same brush, it is worth asking what the point of all this success is about in the first place. How do the

Northwood

people selling success define it? Do they define success by nothing more than material prosperity? If so, they are defining it very narrowly, and are at odds with God's message of success. If success is nothing more than material prosperity, then Jesus and the prophets would have to be judged abject failures. On the other hand, if they define success as personal growth, meeting our individual goals, and living in harmony with God and our fellowman, then this is probably something worth attaining. You cannot serve both God and money. N.I.V Matthew 6:24

Last Week's Results Do you think the mainstream media jumped to conclusions on the Smollett hoax?

93% Yes, they should have waited until all the facts were presented.

7% No, it was a serious issue that needed to be focused on.

Adjust your focus by setting personal goals to meet A flashlight disperses light over a broad area. A laser beam concentrates all of its light onto a single point. A laser beam is so focused that it can cut through virtually anything.

Focus is how you get things accomplished. But if your focus is not properly aligned, you are off target. Adjust your focus to ensure that you are pointing towards exactly what you want to achieve. Your progress slows down or stops if you lose your focus.

In your life, dispersed effort is like a flashlight beam, it doesn’t accomplish much. Your energy flows in many directions. In this mode you bounce around from one task to another. You are distracted easily and change directions readily.

Several factors contribute to a lack of focus. First on this list is not knowing what you want. Without a specific objective, you have no idea where to concentrate your energy. Instead, you procrastinate, or switch tasks frequently.

You gain focus by identifying your top meaningful goals. These goals provide a direction you can focus on. When you encounter obstacles, or veer off course, your

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden goals provide a guide to getting back on track.

Goals are what you focus on. Without specific, well defined goals, you have nothing to directly focus on. You are then left drifting in random directions. It’s just as if you started driving your car with no destination in mind. You would be driving aimlessly.

The next factor is poor time management. Even if you know what you want, reaching your goals requires knowing how to use your time efficiently. Otherwise, your time is wasted or used ineffectively.

Poor time management dilutes your focus.

How much time you spend on a particular task isn’t what’s important. How much you accomplish is what really matters. When deciding on how to allocate your time, make sure your focus is on tasks

which yield measurable, positive, results.

Time goes by too fast to waste it on insignificant matters.

Routines help you maintain focus over the long term. Top athletes utilize training routines. Each day, they have a specific training schedule and objectives. For each day of the week, they know exactly what they will be doing. They don’t “wing it” as they go. Regular routines also enhance effective time management.

Encountering obstacles is a normal occurrence on the path to success. Rather than allow obstacles to interfere with your focus, use focus to overcome obstacles.

When facing any obstacle, you need to focus on how to overcome it. This process may involve finding a solution or taking a detour.

Detours are essential whenever your intended route is not yielding the expected results. Focusing on your ultimate objective prevents you from getting lost when taking a detour. Knowing when to take a detour requires focus. Through focus, you maintain a constant awareness of what is working as planned, and what isn’t.

Getting rid of distractions helps you

focus. Distractions dilute your efforts by drawing your attentions to low priority, or meaningless tasks. Since each day only has 24 hours, you must use discretion as to how your time is spent.

Focus is virtually impossible when you are multitasking. Your brain can only focus on one thing at a time. Therefore, when you attempt to handle many important tasks simultaneously, your focus is dispersed.

When multitasking, none of your tasks get enough attention to make a significant difference.

Pay attention to what is happening in your life each day. Assess if you are on your desired track. Adjusting your focus enhances your progress by keeping you on target to reach your goals.

Another phone scam hits area according to Lake Police Last week, I got a call from one of our Neighborhood Watch members reporting he received a phone call from someone purporting to be from the Social Security Administration. He did exactly the right thing by hanging up without giving any personal information.

This seems to be another twist to the Internal Revenue phone scam in which the caller threatens to swear out a warrant for the call recipient’s arrest unless he or she pays in full money that is supposedly owed in back taxes.

In the Social Security scam, the caller attempts to get a Social Security number from the call recipient, which is then used for identity theft purposes.

With a person’s Social Security number, the caller is able to drain a person’s bank accounts, leaving the recipient nearly penniless.

These callers prey on people’s fear that if they don’t cooperate, they can be subject to arrest or face monumental fines and penalties.

Like the IRS scam, the first indication that such a call from the Social Security Administration is a scam is the phone call itself. Neither the IRS nor the Social Security Administration do business like this over the phone. If they have a legitimate issue that requires the attention of a taxpayer or Social Security recipient, communication is done through the mail.

Those who make these calls usually call blindly, not knowing who they are calling or even what area of the country they are calling. It really doesn’t matter to them, so long as they can find someone who will fall for the swindle.

They can dial numbers all day until they find an unwitting person who will fall for the scam. After all, when they find that one person who gives them the information they want, it’s usually going to be a big pay-

off for the caller.

If you have caller ID, don’t rely on the phone number that shows up. It may look official, such as a 202 area code from Washington, D.C., but the call does not originate from there. This is known as “spoofing.” If you were to call the number back, you would find it is not a legitimate number.

Scammers may give you a phone number for you to call back, but that number will not be enough for a law enforcement agency to investigate because it will not be

a valid number after a few days.

If you get such a phone call, the best thing to do is hang up, then call your local law enforcement agency to report it. That law enforcement agency can then get the word out that the scam is being used in the area.

Remember that if you give out personal information and you find yourself the victim of a scam, often there is little a law enforcement agency will be able to do to get you your money back, though there are some exceptions. Scammers are usually smart enough to not leave any trail that will lead back to them.

Don’t be too embarrassed to report such crimes to police. Some extremely smart people have found themselves victims of scams.

Recovering opioid addicts credit family, programs

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com One in five Ohio residents knows someone struggling with heroin addiction.

Heroin and other opioids kill at least 23 people in Ohio every week.

Fatal drug overdoses remain the leading cause of accidental death in Ohio, above car crashes — a trend that began in 2007.

The number of heroin and other opioid related deaths, tracked by the Lucas County coroner’s office representing 19 counties in Northwest Ohio and two counties in Southeastern Michigan, has increased from eight in 2010 to 414 in 2017. Nationally, opioids were involved in 42,249 deaths in 2016.

Those numbers come from the Toledo Community Foundation, the Lucas County Heroin and Opiate Initiative and ProMedica, but they came to life when the Urban Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Outreach Program hosted an opiate town hall at St. Mark Lutheran Church in East Toledo last week. It drew well over 200 residents.

Toledo’s District 3 Councilman Peter J. Ujvagi said within a six month period within one block of East Toledo’s Birmingham neighborhood, where he has lived for 60 years, two young people died from opioids.

Toledo Police Lt. Zakariya Reed has witnessed the death of a person from an opiate overdose.

“It’s a hard thing to watch,” Reed said.

“We are consistently running into people every day who are taking their last breath.

It’s something that is a very traumatic thing to witness and then to learn that this is the same person again (from a previous overdose) is really traumatic because these are people who have hit rock bottom.”

The lieutenant said the police department is using the life-saving drug Narcan more than ever because the street dosages of herion are getting stronger.

“We’re seeing that some dosages that you normally take are now laying you out,” Reed said. “You can’t trust the dealer. I’ve been on the job 23 years, and in the last few years we are finding we have to give them more than one dose of Narcan — we’re seeing that more and more.

“In terms of the community this is the worst thing you can imagine. We’re still seeing crack, cocaine and all of those things out there, too, and we’re seeing people taking prescription drugs and they are overdosing on those as well.”

Tamme Smith, representing the Drug Abuse Response Team (DART), says today one dose of the opiate-based street drug fetanyl is 1,000 times more potent than one doze of morphine. A salt-piece size of fetanyl is enough to kill, she said.

“Fetanyl is so tightly bound to receptors (in the brain) that one doze of Narcan won’t knock it off,” Smith said. She said it took an emergency response team eight

dience.

Cynthia Brown-Chery of the Mental Health Services and Recovery Board, said keeping teens away from any prescription or illicit drug helps.

“The longer we can delay a young person picking up even a nicotine product or whatever that may be, helps. Having one caring adult in your life is the biggest asset you can have,” Brown-Chery said.

Making the matter worse is that 8.7 million children nationwide have a parent who suffers from a substance use disorder, said representatives from DART. Dr. Karen Steinmiller of the University of Toledo’s College of Pharmacology said we “have to stop thinking that a pill can fix everything.”

"Lonnie" tells his story to over 200 residents attending the opiate town hall at St. Mark Lutheran Church in East Toledo. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) cans of Narcan to save one person, but stressed that is not because “people are becoming intolerant to Narcan.”

“You don’t know your body chemistry, so you go to your dealer and say what you want and know sometimes they don’t even know what they have as far as strength,” Smith said.

3 testimonials It hit so close to home that three former addicts in recovery, are not only happy to be beyond their addictions, they are happy to be alive and opened the town hall with testimonials.

“Bob,” a member of St. Mark Church, has been in recovery for nine years now, but like many others, his addiction started with a prescription.

In 1998, because of a back injury, he was prescribed the opiate-based Oxycontin, which he took until 2010. Even though he stopped, he says his recovery will continue for the rest of his life.

“My life was a living hell,” Bob said.

“I’m an addict and I’ll always be an addict and that is never going to change. The difference is I am a recovering addict.”

He said a 12-step recovery program got him back to being sober, but most of all, he credits his family for being by his side. He says his life has turned around and he now serves on church council.

“The blessing of all this is I tore my family apart and now my family and I are all back together,” Bob said.

“Lars,” who is now 37-years-old, says he grew up in an abusive household in Swanton and went through 18 years of drug abuse, dating back to his teen years.

He says by age 22, he was alone.

By age 30, he “ran out of all money and burned all bridges.” On January 4, 2016, he hit rock bottom and finally began searching for help.

“Lonnie” said, during his 12-year stint as an addict, “I never knew the whole time that there was something better for me.”

Teen problem, too Following testimonials, a panel discussion was hosted by Eric Chase of Q105.5 radio, who said he has also lived with mental health issues.

According to the Sylvania Community Action Team, represented at St. Mark Church by Deb Cheny, “America’s biggest drug problem isn’t on the streets…it’s in our medicine cabinets.” Anyone with access to the medicine cabinet is a potential addict.

Teens now abuse prescription drugs more than any illicit drug except marijuana — more than cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine combined. Every day, 2,500 youths ages 12-17 abuse a pain reliever for the first time. SCAT says the prescription drugs are now the drug of choice for 12 and 13-year-olds, with more than 2.1 million teens ages 12-17 reported abusing prescription drugs.

SCAT reports that more than three in five teens say prescription drugs are easy to get from medicine cabinets and more say prescription drugs are “available everywhere” and easier to get than illicit drugs. Cheny says the issue parents are having is the way they deal with the problem.

“Our kids don’t really care about how much you know, they care about how much you care,” she said to any parents in the au-

Why incarcerate?

Smith said the common question she hears is about why do we put addicts into incarceration?

She notes that in 2017, Lucas County incarcerated 15,000 addicts and the jail charges $197 per day. She said it costs taxpayers up to $72,000 a year for a person to be incarcerated.

DART, a non-treatment program, has an 80 percent success rate, but they reach out to many of their clients once they’ve been incarcerated. Even some of the testimonials given say they may not have ever recovered if they weren’t first incarcerated and then received help.

Smith said DART works with many of the providers present at the town hall, including the T. Whitehead Center, SCAT, UMADAOP, the Prevention Action Alliance, and many others present, including some primary care facilities that offer recovery services. The Lucas County Sheriff’s Office Community Advocacy Outreach Project is a component of DART. She says DART could not provide the services it does without community support, but family and friends of addicts need to take action first.

“We challenge the stigma associated with addiction,” Smith said. “DART would not be successful without the community.

DART is the community. All systems need to work together — mental health, law enforcement and so forth. It’s about reconnecting them (addicts) into their communities.”

If you know someone who needs help, it doesn’t matter if insurance is not available, the speakers said.

“We still have this thing going around the community that if you don’t have insurance you can’t get help and that is not true,” said Brown-Chery. “We have systems in place that is an individual does not have insurance we can still be able to get them into detox and into rehab.”

They recommend, for starters, calling the recovery helping at 419-255-3125.

Ujvagi noted that the T. Whitehead Recovery Center, located at 2044 Genesee Street is available in the Birmingham neighborhood to provide alcohol and opiate rehab services.

Counseling Corner Silence, solitude beneficial From the American Counseling Association As you’ve probably noticed, it’s a noisy world. All our technology helps ensure we’re never sitting in silence. But experts advise that may not be the best thing for us.

Silence and solitude have been shown to improve our physical and mental wellbeing. And gaining the benefits of silence in our lives really isn’t that difficult.

Researchers found that even a quiet walk in a park can stimulate brain growth in the hippocampus, leading to better memory. They found that three walks per week of 40 minutes were enough to stimulate such growth.

The noise of our lives has a measurable effect on our brains. Sounds we hear cause our bodies to react, stimulating the release of stress hormones. Silence has an opposite effect. One study found silence could reduce tension after just two minutes.

Silence was more relaxing than music, helping lower blood pressure and improving blood circulation in the brain. Silence has also been shown to benefit the body’s immune systems, reduce plaque formation in arteries and help fight insomnia.

So how do you reduce the noise in your life? It starts with a conscious choice to seek the silence.

You need to put away the tech devices, escape from the demands of family, friends and work, and instead find silence, even if only in small bites of quiet time.

One easy way is to get outside in nature and take a walk. If you want to walk with someone else, that’s fine, but just agree that at least part of the walk will be in mutual silence.

You might also start off your day with a five-minute delay in getting out of bed. Use the time to awaken slowly, enjoy the early morning quiet, and think warm, pleasant thoughts rather than rushing into the worries and pressures of the day.

Another simple way to focus on silence is with deep breathing exercises during the day. Focusing on your breathing, even for just a minute or two, can help calm your mind and shut out the noises of the world.

Meditation is another path to silence for many. Whether you teach yourself, use an online app or take a class, it can help you silently focus on your thoughts.

Silence may seem hard to find at times, but putting some silence in your life can bring you considerable benefits.

Bringing beds to children brings peace

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com How many times in life do you see something happening, someone in need and decide to help?

For Michael Horvath, an engineer at Dana Corporation, and his wife, Shawna, a teacher at Scott High School, seeing a post by Mike Rowe, the former host of “Dirty Jobs” changed their lives and started a ministry.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace, an organization that builds and delivers beds to children who do not have their own, was started in Idaho in 2012 by Luke Mickelson and his family. According to Horvath, he was watching Mike Rowe’s show, “Returning the Favor,” on Facebook about SHP, when he decided he wanted to get involved.

“Rowe’s show highlights charities around the country,” Horvath said. “I saw it in February of 2018 and decided it was a great idea. It was just awesome. Shawna and I went to Idaho in June to train and learn about the organization.”

According to Horvath, since Rowe’s show, SHP which had just nine chapters in the upper northwest in 2017, has catapulted to more than 120 chapters in 39 states currently. The show is the reason the Maumee Valley Chapter began.

Horvath, a 1990 Clay High School graduate, and his wife, who are co-presidents of SHP Maumee Valley, joined with Dan Pellizzari, who is in charge of fundraising and corporate relations, and Denice Brown-Staskiewicz, who is the vetting/ delivery/inventory manager, to get to work building the beds.

“In July, after raising enough funds, the first bunk bed build was held at Cedar Creek Church in Whitehouse,” Horvath said.

“In August deliveries began. Fundraising and partner development continued culminating in builds at locations like Dana Corporation and Scott High School. In the six months, from inception thru December

2018, the Maumee Valley chapter involved more than 250 volunteers, built more than 100 beds and delivered 78 beds to children in Lucas and Wood counties.”

Horvath said that so far, in 2019, 70 volunteers have built an additional 60 beds and delivered 98 beds to local children.

“The mission of SHP is simple: No kid sleeps on the floor in our town,” he said.

“Our goal is to exceed 500 beds being made and delivered this year.”

SHP Maumee Valley has garnered support and funds from Dana Corporation, Cedar Creek Church, Glass City CrossFit, Scott High School, Toledo-Harley Davidson, Bedford Alliance Church, Therma Tru, Fed Ex, and more. Builds are currently scheduled every two weeks up until summer vacation.

“Toledo Harley-Davidson and Dana are also drop-off places for soft donations like items for twin sized beds like pillows, sheets, blankets, comforters, etc.,” he said. “We are adding sponsors and events every day. I just see this organization growing daily.”

Heather Moore, of East Toledo, experienced first-hand the generosity of SHP and how it has affected her five children and step-children. The mother, who works in the dietary department at Mercy St. Charles Hospital, heard about SHP in a Mothers Helping Mothers post on Facebook.

“I read about it and thought I would just apply for the beds,” Moore said. “My kids had been sleeping on air mattresses that, if you know about air mattresses, were always popping. I just could not afford the beds.”

Moore received a call in August from Horvath. The beds were built and delivered to her children: Malasia,11; Jalila, 10; Corianna; Ta’mya, 8; and Kei’andre, 4.

“I really could not believe it at first,” she said. “The kids were so happy and excited to have their own beds. They go back and forth now, to each other’s rooms to sleep in the beds. SHP has done so much for my family and I am so grateful.”

Moore has since spread the word about

SHP and the good it does and has done. The organization has since helped her neighbor as well.

“I just could not believe everything they did for us,” Moore said. “There still are nice people out there and I will help them spread the word as well.”

Horvath said Moore’s posts and others have helped get the word out. He was, at one time, worried about how the organization would be viewed in the area. Not anymore.

“In one night, we had 100 requests for beds,” he said. “It was surprising yet scary to see the need and to do everything to meet that need. For me, it is hard to describe, I feel this is my purpose. The grace we have felt from the volunteers, the donors and the kids who get the beds is unbelievable. They are so appreciative and excited. It is great to see the community run out and help the kids.”

Horvath said he has recently purchased a trailer which will allow them to drive to a neighborhood, and build beds and involve the participants in that build, similar to Habitat for Humanity.

SHP Maumee Valley is also going to be having several fundraisers. On Monday, March 25, from 5-9, Buffalo Wild Wings is holding a fundraiser at its location, 6710 W. Central Ave., in Toledo. On Saturday, June 1, Toledo Harley Davidson, and the local chapter of HOG, are holding a ride and build. Fleetwood’s Tap Room, at 28 N. St. Clair, will also hold a fundraiser from 12 -5 pm on Sunday, April 5.

For more information on fundraisers visit the SHP Facebook Page. SHP is also looking for companies, organizations and people in the Defiance, Findlay and Sandusky areas to get involved and help build and deliver beds.

For those wishing to get involved by donating money or soft bedding goods, building or delivering beds, please contact Horvath at Michael.horvath@shpbeds. org . More information can also be found on Facebook and on the website at https:// www.shpbeds.org.

Switching the clocks can affect your health Much of the world adjusts their clocks each spring and fall. In the fall, clocks are fixed on standard time, while in the spring they’re moved forward one hour to daylight saving time, or DST. The rationale behind DST has long been based on energy savings, as the demand for electricity to light homes is related to the times when people go to bed at night and rise in the morning.

Studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation in 1975 determined that moving clocks ahead one hour could save a small amount of energy each day.

Even though the energy savings associated with DST can be significant, some suggest those savings come at the expense of human health.

Research suggests that a one-hour time change twice a year can significantly throw off humans’ internal clocks. A report conducted by the Massachusetts Legislature in the summer of 2016 found that people lose a significant amount of sleep in the days following DST, which can lead to an increase in both traffic fatalities and onthe-job injuries. Disrupted sleep cycles can leave people restless and coping with anxiety.

A 2012 study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found shifts related to DST led to killing time on the internet and other “loafing” around from lack of energy and motivation.

Finnish researchers analyzed more than 10 years of stroke data and its relation to DST. The overall rate of ischemic stroke increased by 8 percent in the first two days after transitioning to DST. Similarly, other issues arise when clocks are switched back to standard time in the fall. Danish researchers found the rate of people seeking care for depression rose for up to 10 weeks after clocks were turned back.

Various petitions have been created to urge legislators to maintain DST all year long. The United Kingdom-based Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents says doing so will reduce road deaths currently

accidents and could increase productivity in the evening hours when the autumn arrives.

American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) President Kyle E. Yasuda, MD, FAAP, last week sent letters to the CEOs of three major technology companies — Google (which owns YouTube), Facebook (which owns Instagram and WhatsApp) and Pinterest — highlighting the growing threat that online vaccine misinformation poses to children’s health.

“Pediatricians are working in our clinics and our communities, talking with families one-on-one about how important vaccines are to protect their children’s health. But it’s no longer enough,” said Dr. Yasuda. “Our worst fears are being realized as measles outbreaks spread across the country. I reached out to the technology industry with an urgent request to work together to combat the dangerous spread of vaccine misinformation online.”

Though robust scientific research demonstrates that vaccines are safe, effective and life-saving, inaccurate and misleading content about vaccines proliferates online. As parents increasingly turn to social media to gather information and form opinions about their children’s health, the consequences of inaccurate information play out offline.

While Facebook, Google and Pinterest have each indicated that they are taking steps to address the unique vulnerabilities in their respective platforms, the Academy urges more be done to ensure that parents are equipped with credible information from verified sources about vaccines.

“Pediatricians talk with families every day about their children’s health, and we respect parents who disagree with us. We have found that continuing to talk with parents who are hesitant about vaccines is the best way to bring them closer to a decision to vaccinate their child. The same is true in the social media space,” writes Dr. Yasuda.

Help Me Grow and home visiting offered by Health Dept.

Preterm birth is when a baby is born too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy have been completed. In 2016, preterm birth affected about one of every 10 infants born in the United States.

A developing baby goes through important growth throughout pregnancy including in the final months and weeks.

For example, the brain, lungs and liver need the final weeks of pregnancy to fully develop. Premature birth and its complications (especially before 32 weeks) are the largest contributors to infant death in the U.S., and a major cause of long-term health problems in children who survive.

Babies who survive may have breathing problems, feeding difficulties, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, or vision and hearing problems.

The Sandusky County Health Department offers Help Me Grow (HMG), an evidence-based parent support pro-

gram that encourages early prenatal and well-baby care, as well as parenting education to promote the comprehensive health and development of young children. HMG is a voluntary family support program for pregnant women or new parents. Home visitors are well-trained and help empower parents with skills, tools and confidence to nurture the healthy growth of their children.

The parenting education and child development resources provided to families allows them to maximize this critical period of development in their child’s life,

Stritch’s style of play keeps team on the right track

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com There are reasons three Cardinal Stritch guards were voted first team AllToledo Area Athletic Conference, and a fourth is honorable mention.

The four Cardinals are providing close to 60 points per game for a team averaging just a fraction below 70 points per game (69.8).

They did not need to do that in the Cardinals’ 61-23 Division III district semifinal victory over Elmwood Thursday at Central Catholic’s Sullivan Center, but that’s because 10 Stritch players got into the scoring column in the rout.

Besides, Stritch had gotten to their 35-point lead before the third quarter was over and the clock was no longer stopping on dead balls because of Ohio’s tournament mercy rule. Otherwise, Stritch likely would have reached that 70-point mark, too — something they’ve already done nine times this year.

Central Catholic’s arena, complete with its overhead scoreboard, became the perfect place for the state’s 11th ranked team, Cardinal Stritch (21-3), and No. 4 Genoa (24-0) to meet in the district tournament for the third straight year Saturday with the Cardinals winning the previous two.

They were playing for the right to compete in the regional tournament this Wednesday at Bowling Green State University’s Stroh Center.

“So, it’s going to take a full team effort, especially with the quick turnaround, but we’ll see what team plays the best 32 minutes on Saturday and we’ll move on,” Cardinal Stritch coach Jamie Kachmarik said Thursday night.

If the Cardinals were able to find a way to get past Genoa Saturday, they had big plans for tournament games beyond.

“The rest of the year we want to play our best as a team and get as far as we can and try to make it to Columbus,” said 6-foot-3 senior guard Little Anderson, one of those three first team All-TAAC guards.

In the win over Elmwood, Stritch shot 50 percent from the field (22 for 44) and forced 16 Elmwood turnovers, including four steals by 5-foot-5 sophomore guard Jahiden Wilson, who also had five points.

Anderson and Joey Holifield, a 6-2 junior guard, scored 14 points each and Holifield also had nine rebounds and two steals.

In the first quarter, Stritch forced six turnovers and took a 24-6 lead, and the Cardinals’ defense forced six more in the second, but only increased its lead to 33-12.

“In the first quarter we defended well and ran the floor pretty hard — we just played harder in the first quarter,” Anderson said.

Kachmarik added, “It was basically our defense pressuring them. They run a lot of good offensive sets and all that, but we wanted to scramble it and make it where they never felt comfortable and that is kind of the way we play this year. So, it was really more about what we need to do.

“This is game 24 now, so you don’t want to change too much. That’s kind of the way we played it — it was our game plan.

I was a little nervous with it being so late and us being here and all that, but we came out with a ton of energy and started out the way we wanted to.”

(Press photo by Doug Karns/www.CardinalStritch.org) Kachmarik said he wanted his team to continue scoring at the pace they did in the first quarter, but Elmwood’s defense stiffened and Cardinal Stritch’s offense slowed down.

“The thing for us is we wanted to play at our tempo,” Kachmarik said. “We attacked and we attacked early and that was the big thing. We got that lead and I just wanted it to keep growing. I challenged our guys to keep it going and make that thing grow.

“I thought in the second quarter we started to settle for jump shots because you’ve got them thinking things are going to come easy and they got a little chewing out at halftime. In the third quarter we came out the way we should be playing and expanded the lead.”

Kachmarik says if this team doesn’t play the way it’s meant to play, there is no other way to play. He expects opponents to respect his team’s game, too, because Cardinal Stritch is going to be the team to bring it, he promises.

“The big thing for us is to focus on what we do,” Kachmarik said. “I kind of have the John Wooden philosophy, ‘They have to play us because we’re different, we’re athletic, and we play fast. We can throw different guys at you.’ So, we just try to keep that pace up and keep attacking.”

To keep things moving at that pace, there is another piece to the puzzle — Cardinal Stritch’s big men. Six-foot-7 senior forward Nolan Finch usually gets the start, and he knows his role. Finch scored four points, but his team out rebounded Elmwood 33 to 24 Thursday.

“I don’t really care about scoring — we have enough guys who can score,” Finch said. “I just want to work on the rebounds, get up and down the court and speed up the game. Teams try to slow us down and I try not to let that happen.

“I think we just have to really keep focused on defending because we have a lot of natural scorers on our team. A lot of our starting five has a guaranteed road to play college basketball so I think we just need to score and play good ball the rest of the way out.”

Kachmarik said Finch’s presence is essential, but so has been Wilson’s.

“Nolan has been playing well, and so has (senior forward) Ashton (Caryer) and you know the biggest thing is ever since Jhaiden Wilson has been inserted into the starting lineup we’ve kind of changed.

We’ve become a quicker team,” Kachmarik said.

“Ashton is coming off the bench now, and to have a 6-7, 6-8 guy coming off the bench, is a little different look than most, and (6-2 junior forward) Justin Wiggins, we want to get him going because he can really shoot the ball. Those guys, and we have guys even deeper on the bench who aren’t playing as much as they’d probably like, but we’re deep. These guys will get their shot maybe a year from now, but they’ll get the shot.”

Besides Anderson and Holifield, the other first team All-TAAC guard is 5-10 senior Jordan Burton, who scored nine points in the win over Elmwood. Wilson is the honorable mention selection.

Comets’ unsung heroes — it’s defense and scouting

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com At 24-0 and ranked fourth in the Associated Press Division III statewide poll, Genoa’s team wasn’t about to let its season end.

At least, that’s what the Comets were saying when they took on Evergreen (20-5) in a district semifinal at Central Catholic’s Sullivan Center Thursday. The lengthy and basketball savvy Vikings presented their own kind of challenge, but Genoa took control in the second half en route to a 47-37 victory.

“We wanted this game ever since the beginning of the season,” said 6-foot-2 senior forward Nathan Lewis. “Coach (Zach Alt) has emphasized that getting to where we wanted to be is the important job. I mean, we’re sitting at 24-0 right now? We’re not done. We’re not finished.”

No. 11 ranked Cardinal Stritch had something to say about that on Saturday afternoon. No matter what, Alt believes it’s not just his players who got his team here, but his coaching staff.

The Comets were fully prepared to take on the Vikings Thursday, and that credit goes to Alt’s assistants Chris Mathews and Matt Routson and also to multiple others connected to the program that know the game of basketball. It is Routson who puts together the defensive plan.

“It wasn’t (an easy win). Our coaches did a fantastic job getting us prepared. We knew all their sets, all their plays, and just getting our defense down was a big thing for us,” said 6-0 senior guard Jacob Bradfield, who scored four points.

Alt added, “There was a ton of preparation this week for this opponent. The coaching staff did an excellent job preparing the guys. The scout team consisted of both the older guys and some younger guys we brought in. I felt like we were prepared in that time and that we were in slow motion because of how prepared we were. We did what we do defensively and we tried to control the glass, and when we do those things we started to separate there.”

Genoa forced a good shooting Evergreen team into making just 13 of 35 field goals (37 percent).

“We definitely pride ourselves on defense — it is what we hold our hats on. If we can get that going, then our offense will follow that up,” said Bradfield.

The Comets were led by Northern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year and Lake Erie College-commit Jacob Plantz, a 6-foot-3 senior guard/forward, who scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Sixfoot-5 senior forward Drew Bench, who is a preferred walk-on to play football at Bowling Green State University in the fall, had eight fourth period points and finished the game with 12 points and seven boards.

Those scoring numbers are well below their averages — Plantz scores at a rate of 21.6 per game and Bench is at 13.1 points, but Plantz came in averaging 5.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists, while Bench is averaging eight rebounds and one assist. Any indiscretion in the difference between their numbers Thursday and their averages, they made up for it with their play in a game that got physical.

“They’ve got college athlete-type bodies, right? So, they are built for this type of

However, Genoa got eight players in the scoring column, and that was what can make the difference when taking on quality opponents.

“The depth of this team is crazy,” said Lewis, who contributed six points in Thursday’s win. “You’ve got a bunch of guys who are watching us, taking a role next year after we graduate. We have six seniors, so we’re pretty deep this year, and we have some juniors who can hit some buckets. I mean, we’re deep enough that we can go far.”

On offense, the Comets shot over 50 percent (17 for 36) and made 9 of 12 free throws, plus they had just three turnovers.

Some of the biggest plays were made by 6-2 senior forward Joey Dominique, 6-0 senior guard Caleb McGeorge, 5-8 junior guard Mike Rightnowar, Lewis and Bradfield — who all got into the scoring column.

“We go through our scouting report and the last thing we tell them is, ‘We have to believe and instill a belief that every player on the team can make the game winning play,’” Alt said. “And, we’ve got to practice that and you saw some guys live that tonight, right? Nate Lewis and Jacob Bradfield did some great things for us.

You’ve got to give them credit for doing the things that they did tonight and that is why we are moving on.”

Falk, Cole made the extra effort to reach state meet

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Northwood senior wrestler Colton Falk said he informed the coaching staff that he intended to compete at 138 pounds during the 2018-19 season. Falk competed at 132 pounds a year ago, but he had trouble keeping his weight down heading into his senior year.

Falk eschewed eating and drinking for two days while running two miles each day. And yet, he was still a hair — a few hairs — over the 138-pound limit in midJanuary.

“The day I made weight, I was still .2 pounds over and I decided to shave my head,” Falk said. “I made weight.”

Falk took a 39-10 record to this week’s Division III state tournament in Columbus.

He and junior teammate Austin Cole (437), who wrestles at 182 pounds, qualified by taking second place and fourth place, respectively, at last weekend’s district tournament at Lakota.

Falk and Cole are Northwood’s first state qualifiers since Jonny Wheeler and Trevor Mack qualified in 2016. Falk is a four-time City League champion and fourtime district qualifier, but this marks his first trip to state.

“My freshman year I wrestled with Johnny and Trevor, and I was going to go with them (to Columbus) to see what the atmosphere was like,” Falk said. “I wasn’t able to go, and since then I’ve been chasing the taste of making it to state and I’ve come up one or two steps short.”

Falk competed at 145 and 152 pounds before dropping down to 138 in mid-January.

“We thought, for him, that would be a good drop with some of the opponents he faced in the past,” Rangers coach Nick Encheff siad. “We new their styles and thought we could compete with that. Joey Heise, J.J. Poiry and Colton were all around 145, and with Colton dropping to 138, that solidified our run at the league (title) and in sectionals.”

Northwood wrestling state qualifiers Austin Cole and Colton Falk.

(Facebook. com/ Northwood wrestling) Falk, who won 32 matches at 132 pounds a year ago, said his mindset never changed when he dropped weight in January.

“I’ve tried to take every match seriously, especially being my senior year,” he said. “I take every match as if it was my last. I think I’ve fared well this season. I’ve accomplished a couple of my goals. I’m top-three in career wins at my school and I’m a four-time league champ. My goal for districts was to get top two.”

Falk got pinned in 3:52 by three-time state champion Dylan D’Emilio of Genoa in the district finals, but he won three matches that weekend. He was 0-2 at districts as a freshman, won one match as a sophomore and went 2-2 last season.

“Each year he’s improved,” Encheff said. “Based on his past accomplishments, we felt he was a state-caliber wrestler this year. What he had not done prior (to districts) was get that statement win, showing he could compete at this level. He got it

(last) weekend. The first round he beat a returning state qualifier, and in the semifinals he beat a young man who was projected to go down to state.”

Cole entered the state tournament needing three wins to tie the single-season school record of 46. His first-round opponent was projected 182-pound state champion Chris Langguth (30-1), a senior from Rootstown.

“Knowing that just pushes me even harder,” Cole said Tuesday. “I’ll just try to execute the match and hopefully get the win out of it.”

Cole has come a long way since his freshman year, when he had a 15-19 record.

He improved to 32-11 his sophomore season.

“My coaches pushing me made me stick with it,” said Cole, who won his second straight CL title last month. “They told me I had a lot of potential if I grind it out and work hard in the (practice) room. I believed them.”

Cole said his transformation included changing his diet and cutting out pop, which made him feel “energized.” Chicken, vegetables, fruit and lots of water replaced pizza rolls, brownies, cupcakes and Skittles on the menu.

“I was able to work harder in the room,” Cole said.

Encheff said Cole’s natural athletic ability and social demeanor helped him turn things around on the mat.

“With his progress from freshman year to this year, we felt he had a very good chance (to make it to state),” Encheff said.

“He’s pretty relaxed and isn’t too stressed out about anything. He had a couple of signature wins early in the season against young men who beat him in the past. I think that gave him some confidence. Out of his 42 wins, probably 30-plus have been by pin, tech fall or major decision.”

Cole added that he’s been dreaming of competing in Columbus for years.

“I would go down there for biddy tournaments,” he said. “Making it in high school was always my dream. Freshman year I thought, one day I want to get to the state tournament and I’m going to grind it out and get that state title.”

Gibsonburg junior wrestler Hunter Smith looks to get a takedown.

The deadline for our Transitions Page is Wednesday at Noon Hours: M-TH 9-5, Closed Friday

Despite a successful run in biddy and junior high wrestling, something told Hunter Smith he wasn’t ready to compete at the next level.

Smith, a junior at Gibsonburg, gave up wrestling as a freshman and sophomore, but he came back this season and qualified for this week’s Division III state tournament in Columbus.

“In biddy, I was always making it to state,” Smith said. “My brother (Connor) and I always made it to state. (But) I never really loved the sport and I didn’t want to stick with it. I wasn’t strong mentally and I wasn’t ready for practice and how long the (high school) season was.

“Football helped me get mentally right, being able to do all the conditioning. I just felt I needed wrestling.”

Smith turned himself into a first-team all-conference middle linebacker and offensive guard for the Golden Bears’ football team last fall. He said the football coaches “pushed me really hard” to stay in shape for next season. When Gibsonburg’s wrestlers kicked off practices in November, Hunter joined them. It didn’t take long for him to realize that wrestling muscles and football muscles are two different things.

“They are two completely different sports that help each other,” Smith said.

“You use a lot of different muscles. I was mainly sore in my legs and back. Being in that (wrestling) stance constantly, it was really hard to get back into things.

Probably for a good two weeks, I was sore every day.”

Gibsonburg wrestling coach Greg Spoores said the staff kept things simple for Smith at the start. They knew he had to feel his way around the mat again, knowing what moves would work and which ones wouldn’t work in the 220-pound weight class.

“He plays linebacker,” Spoores said, “so a lot of what he does on the football field transferred to the mat. He had been a youth wrestler, so it wasn’t like we were starting from scratch. He knew the basics and it came back quickly. He’s a good athlete also, so having that experience in youth wrestling and not starting from scratch, a lot of it came back to him pretty easily. He’s having success now, probably more than he expected to have.”

Golden Bear Invitational. He reached the championship match, where he promptly broke his right index finger en route to the 220-pound title.

“I took off about six weeks,” Smith said. “I broke my finger in the finals match and it was pretty swollen. I was pretty mad.

Most of the time, I used my time in the weight room to get stronger and make sure I wasn’t too out of shape when I got back in the wrestling room.”

Smith (27-8) qualified to this week’s state tournament at the Schottenstein Center by placing fourth last Saturday at the D-III district meet at Lakota. He dropped his first match, won four in a row, then lost by a 5-1 margin in his finals match.

“He wrestled a bad match Friday night,” Spoores said. “He got upset and he kind of let that fuel him into the next day. He had to wrestle (Alex) Duran from Genoa, who beat him in the sectional finals.

He wrestled smart and beat Duran. His fire got lit from there, and every match he got better and better. He upset some good kids to get into the fourth-place match, and he finished really strong.”

Smith competed at the state meet with senior teammate Brad Mendoza (411), a two-time state placer. Spoores said Mendoza, who took third at 170 pounds in Columbus last season, wrestled “like a man on a mission” to win the 170-pound district title last Saturday.

Smith, meanwhile, admitted that even though reaching the state tournament this season is icing on the cake, he had every intention of getting on the awards podium.

“I did not expect this at all,” he said.

“I haven’t been in the sport in so long, I didn’t know how successful I would be.

The coaches and people I’m with in practice every day push me really hard and have helped me get to where I am. I’ve been under the radar all season; it’s nice flying under the radar. There’s less pressure for me, knowing I have nothing to lose, so I can go as hard as I can with no fear.”

As it turned out, Smith drew Grandview Heights senior Hudson Jump (34-0) in his first-round match at the state tournament.

Jump won the state title at 195 pounds last season, took fifth at 195 two years ago and placed seventh at 182 as a freshman.

“That’s what I get for placing fourth at districts instead of third,” Smith said.

“Everyone’s goal is to get on that podium at state. It’s going to take a lot of hard work, because you have the best of the best down there. I will try my hardest to get on that podium.”
