For ozone treatment

Oregon plans water rate hike

“

And this does not get rid of the problem. This is a consequence of the problem.

“

Oregon City Council on Monday will consider an ordinance that establishes a capital improvement charge for the Water Treatment Plant Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB) Infrastructure Improvements Project. “In 2014, we decided to add ozone treatment to the water treatment plant,” Public Service Director Paul Roman said at a committee of the whole meeting last week. “Ozone is literally taking pure oxygen, electrifying it, using it in the form of a gas, to oxydize and disinfect water. It’s much more powerful and more efficient than the use of chlorine. By using ozone, you’re going to use less chlorine. It will actually improve water taste and odor. But probably the main reason for ozone is that it kills microcysin much quicker than what chlorine can do.” The project improvements consist of adding ozone treatment to settled water at the water treatment plant, and modifying the existing filters for biological active

filtration (BAF). Ozone system equipment includes ozone generator and power supply unit, liquid oxygen storage, vaporization, nitrogen boost, cooling water systems, ozone destruct system, and ozone diffusion and contacting facilities. Ozonated water will then flow to the existing gravity filters modified with new underdrains and granulated activated carbon media. Costs The city will pay for the $15.6 mil-

lion project through a combination of a $1,400,000 grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) and a zero percent interest loan through the Ohio EPA Water Supply Revolving Loan Fund. The loan will be paid through the establishment of a capital improvement charge, which will be charged to all customers over the 20 year loan term. This includes Oregon and outside water customers living in Northwood, Lake Township, Village of Millbury, Jerusalem Township, the Village of Harbor View, and the Village of Genoa. The average rate increase will be $2 per month, said Roman. He said the city still has the lowest sewer and water rates compared to area communities. “In comparison to other area communities, even when you add the charges for what we’re proposing, we’re still the lowest rate in Northwest Ohio,” he said. For example, the annual water bill in 2018 in Oregon will be $197, much lower than the $667 annual water bill in Maumee, $297 in Toledo, $658 in Perrysburg, $554 in the Northwest Continued on page 4

Marijuana facility to break ground By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A groundbreaking ceremony for a state-licensed medical marijuana cultivation facility is scheduled for Dec. 16 in the Village of Gibsonburg. Standard Wellness Co., LLC, is one of the applicants to be awarded a Level 1 license last month for up to 25,000-square feet of growing space from the Ohio Department of Commerce. The company plans to construct a facility on 20 acres at Clearview Industrial Park. Mayor Steve Fought said a groundbreaking is set for 11 a.m. “We have been in daily contact with the Standard Wellness team,” the mayor said Tuesday. According to the company’s license application, it plans to construct a 52,224-square-foot facility at an estimated cost of about $6.6 million. It anticipates a 7-month construction time frame and an annual payroll of about $4.4 million after the cultivation and processing phases have begun. Standard Wellness “… is estimated to supply 1,250 pounds of cultivated medical marijuana flower product to the market in 2019, ramping to about 7,000 pounds in 2023. We expect that our state-of-theart greenhouse and advanced cultivation techniques for production will allow for 0.5 pounds of medical marijuana yield per square foot of flowering canopy per year,” the application says. Last May, village council approved an ordinance that ended a 12-month moratorium on granting any permits for cultivating or processing medical marijuana in the village but still prohibited any retail dispensary. Mayor Fought said at the time that prohibiting the local sale of medical marijuana made ending the moratorium more palatable to the public. The mayor said he and members of council felt more comfortable about the proposal after hearing a presentation by Continued on page 2

the company and after familiarizing themselves with regulations set in place by the state. A 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. While the legislation sets a format for the program, it left the task of establishing specific rules and guidelines for the cultivation, processing, testing, dispensing and medical use of marijuana to state agencies. In addition to awarding Level 1 cultivator licenses, the commerce department also awarded licenses for Level 2 cultivators that will be permitted to operate production facilities of up to 3,000 square feet. OhiGrow, LLC, Toledo, was awarded a Level 2 license. Licensees may submit requests for expansion.

Bozeman, one of three consultants hired by the department of commerce to evaluate and grade applications for the licenses, pled guilty in 2005 to possession with intent to manufacture or distribute a controlled substance in Pennsylvania. “This is an epic failure. I am outraged,” said Yost, a former county prosecutor. “The only proper course of action is to freeze the process, and independently review the evaluation and scoring from the ground up. And the Administration needs to explain how this drug dealer ended up telling the government how to run its fledgling medical marijuana program.” Without such assurances, the entire program is tainted, Yost said. Yost has directed his staff to seek additional information to determine whether there were errors made during the selection of those hired to review applications and whether any hiring errors impacted the grading of the license applications.

Oregon looks at raising sewer rate By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

...will eliminate

“

Oregon Council on Monday will consider passing a capital improvements charge for Phase 2 of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Secondary Treatments Improvement Project. In order to eliminate wastewater treatment plant bypasses and sanitary sewer overflows that are detrimental to Lake Erie, the city is required by the Ohio EPA to increase the secondary treatment capacity of the plant from 24 million gallons per day (MGD) to 36 MGD. The project will eliminate secondary treatment bypasses to Lake Erie and sanitary sewer overflows to Otter Creek during wet weather events. Secondary treatment is the biological treatment of wastewater that occurs after primary treatment. During large rain events, the wastewater treatment plant receives a tremendous amount of flow from the sanitary sewer collection system. Typically, the flow is 10 times that of a dry weather flow. This is due to storm water inflow and infiltration sources in the collection system. In order for the existing treatment process to accommodate larger wet weather flows, secondary treatment is sometimes bypassed during large rain events. Flows are sent through primary settling tanks, disinfected, and then released to Lake Erie. The bypass is in direct violation of the city’s Ohio EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, and because of this, the Ohio EPA is requiring the city to

expand the wastewater treatment plant to accommodate these storm flows. The work is in conjunction with sanitary sewer rehabilitation in the collection system to eliminate inflow and infiltration sources, which is also required by the Ohio EPA. Five-year project The project was to be constructed over a period of five years. Phase 1 of the project was completed in 2014. It consisted of the replacement of two influent screens, replacement of three raw sewage pump motor drives, replacement of two blowers, full replacement of air piping and replacement of air diffusers in aeration tanks and a dissolved oxygen control system, site restoration, and associated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) upgrades. The cost of Phase 1 is $7,630,213. Phase 2 of the project, completed in 2017, consisted of a new final clarifier with associated secondary sludge pumping facilities, replacement of chlorine feed and safety equipment, effluent pump replace-

ment and improvements, site restoration, and associated SCADA upgrades. The cost of Phase 2 was $8,418,010. Phase 2 expenses are to be financed through the Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) supplemented with grant and loan funding through the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC). Rate increase In order to repay the WPCLF and OPWC loans for Phase 2 of the project, a capital improvements charge is needed. All sewer customers living in Oregon, the Northwestern Water and Sewer District and sewered areas of Lucas County (Reno Beach/Howard Farms, Village of Harbor View) will see their rates go up. Once all project loans are paid, the respective capital improvement charge will be removed from the sewer bill. Paul Roman, director of public service, said revenue from the capital improvement charge is strictly dedicated to pay for loans and financing for a particular project. “The average household will see a rate increase of $4 per month for a sewer bill,” he said if council approves of the rate increase. In comparison to other area communities, Oregon’s sewer rate is among the lowest. For example, Oregon’s annual sewer rate in 2018 will be $422. The Northwest Water and Sewer District’s annual sewer rate is $594, Perrysburg’s is $848, and Toledo’s is $757. Communities with lower annual sewer rates are Maumee at $372, and Sylvania at $251.

Officials in Ottawa County are anxiously waiting for word from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on a proposal by Energy Secretary Rick Perry for the commission to address threats to the resiliency of the nation’s electric grid. In September, Secretary Perry urged the FERC to adopt rules requiring its markets to develop reforms that would fully price generation resources to maintain the reliability of the grid. “A diverse mix of power generation resources, including those with on-site reserves, is essential to the reliable delivery of electricity – particularly in times of supply stress such as recent natural disasters,” he said. The FERC’s decision could have an impact on Ottawa County as it might decide the fate of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant near Oak Harbor. A spokesman for the FERC said the secretary’s proposal directs the commission to act by Dec. 11. Mark Stahl, a county commissioner, and Jamie Beier-Grant, director of the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, met last month with FERC chairman Neill Chatterjee to discuss the pending decision. The two presented a petition with about 3,000 signatures asking the FERC to, “…initiate policy that would protect baseload nuclear power generation in the United States and properly value the reliability and resiliency attributes baseload nuclear power generation contributes to the overall operation of the country’s grid system. “With several years of study and technical reports issued related to safeguarding the grid and ensuring diversification in energy generation, development of a policy that properly values the baseload attributes of nuclear power generation is appropriate. The community of Oak Harbor and the County of Ottawa, Ohio acknowledge that the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station is a vital component to the nation’s diverse energy portfolio and is a critical asset of the business community. Additionally, the closure of this facility would place an economic hardship on our community, would significantly impact our ability to provide necessary services to our residents, and will result in substantial shifts in community resources causing undue burden on the residents and businesses,” the petition says. However, Chatterjee told the two that the commission’s decision can’t be based on the economic impact of a plant closure, Stahl said Wednesday. “He said there are three options that could come out,” Stahl said. “They could do everything in the letter that Secretary Perry sent to them. They could reject it in total and not do anything. Or they could come out with a modified directive. He hinted to the point there could be an interim that gives them more time to come up with a longer term solution. We stressed that the interim has to be lucrative for the nuclear power plants in order for them to stay in the game.” The proposal by Secretary Perry asks the FERC to regulate electric pricing so that coal and nuclear power plants that maintain at least a 90-day fuel supply on site can recover their costs. The proposal, called the Grid Resiliency Pricing Rule, stems from a Department of Energy study completed in April. If the rule is enacted as proposed, the FERC, with its authority under the Federal Power Act, could require third-party transmission entities such as regional transmission organizations or independent system operators to set “just and reasonable rates” for wholesale electricity from power plants that show reliability and resiliency in supplying the grid. The DOE study mentions the Polar Vortex of 2014 and hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria as events when traditional baseload generation is essential. An unlikely coalition of natural gas producers and supporters of renewable energy have criticized the proposed rule, saying it would prop up non-competitive power generators.

Local impact Councilwoman Sandy Bihn said the federal and state governments do not realize the costs the city is incurring due to the algae. “Even though we’re reasonable and we’re low, we’re still paying $16 million because of an algae problem,” said Bihn. “We all know what’s causing it – predominantly agriculture, fertilizer and manure, and there are no consequences to them, but there are to us. I think at some point, we just need to drive home that this is impacting not only our water treatment, but our use of the water, use of the bay and everything else that goes along with it, that has negative economic impacts. I don’t think we’re speaking loudly about this. “We collectively need to make that known that there’s a cost to us and it’s a consequence of what’s happening and hopefully this will control it,” continued Bihn. “As these things get worse, there’s more consequences and we’re constantly trying to stay ahead of it, and doing a great job. But there’s a huge cost to it, and not a cost to those who are causing the problem. No one wants to regulate agriculture, but they want to regulate us. We want to get rid of the problem. And this does not get rid of the problem. This is a consequence of the problem.”

Sadly, many patients may not feel the pain of a wound because of diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy or other medical problems that can be difficult to care for. If not treated correctly, these patients will feel the adverse effects for a long time to come. Which is why the specialists at Jobst Vascular Institute use a systematic approach to wound care, and the patient is an important part of the healing process.

Wreath ceremonies planned By Press Staff Writer As part of a national observance, about 900 wreaths will be placed on the graves of veterans buried at the Lake Township Ceremony on Dec. 16, according to Jeff Pettit, a location coordinator for Wreaths Across America. Volunteers interested in placing the wreaths should be at the cemetery on Walbridge Road by noon, he said, adding there will be a brief ceremony. This is the second year Pettit has been leading the local effort to decorate the graves. Wreaths Across America is a nonprofit organization dedicated to remembering the sacrifice of veterans and holding simultaneous ceremonies during the holidays throughout the country. Pettit said monetary donations this year included funding for wreaths for about 100 specific graves. The remainder will be placed randomly on veterans’ graves throughout the cemetery. There are more than 2,100 veterans buried in the cemetery, he said. In addition to receiving donations from individuals and businesses, Pettit organized a motorcycle Poker run and bar-bcue in conjunction with VFW Post 9963 in

September to raise funds. Nagle Trucking is providing a truck to bring the wreaths to the cemetery, he said. Each wreath costs $15, but for every two purchased Wreaths Across America donated a third wreath. Last year’s volunteers included area residents, members of the Oregon Kiwanis Club and members of the Lake Township fire and police departments. Ottawa County ceremonies The Ottawa County Wreath Committee will be placing wreaths on veterans’ graves in Port Clinton and Catawba area cemeteries on Dec. 16. More than 2,300 wreaths are expected to be placed on graves, Sara Toris, a committee member said. There will be a ceremony at Riverview Cemetery and Catawba Island Township Cemetery at 11 a.m. prior to the placing of wreaths. The WAA organization has adopted the mission statement: Remember, Honor, and Teach. It coordinates wreathlaying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and more than 1,200 other locations in 50 states and abroad.

Rezoning recommended by panel Press Staff Writer The Wood County Planning Commission has recommended rezoning half of two parcels along Woodville Road to B-2 general commercial and leave the other half R-2 residential. The parcels are being used by Jim Mlynek, owner of Woodville Road Nursery, as a transfer station for piles of leaves to be used for compost. The parcels in Lake Township have been the subject of discussion during several recent meetings of the township trustees after residents on Bailey Road raised concerns about odors from the site and drainage problems. The plan commission is recommending the half fronting Woodville Road be rezoned to B-2 and the portion along Bailey Road remain R-2. The non-binding recommendation will go to the township’s zoning commission, which is scheduled to meet Dec. 20. The zoning commission, in turn, will make a recommendation to the township trustees for a final decision. Dave Steiner, director of the plan commission, also suggested if the township were to adopt the recommendation it should require Mlynek to have a survey conducted to show the boundaries of the B-2 and R-2 sections. “This would clarify any issues in the future in regards to intrusion of uses on the parcels, improper zoning, etc.,” Steiner said by email. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued a permit to Mlynek to use the property as a transfer station for the

leaves. The leaves are composted at a site across Woodville Road next to his nursery business. Area municipalities and Lake Town-ship have been hauling leaves to the nursery for several years.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Wade What did you ask Santa for this Christmas?

The Press Poll Do you ſnd the holidays to be fun or stressful? Fun. Hate to see it end. Stressful. Can’t wait for it to be over. A little of both. To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com

Tyler Ross Northwood “I asked Santa for a robotic claw so it can help me clean my room.”

Maddison Warner Perrysburg “I am not telling you. You are not Santa.”

Jackson Warner Perrysburg “A little Santa and a Hulk.”

Hudson Wade Rossford “A bubble gun.”

Callen Szozda Perrysburg “A big T-Rex!”

Last Week's Results Should someone who is accused of sexual harassment/ inappropriate behavior be disqualiſed from public service? 44% No. Allegations should be proven in a politically charged environment. 37% Yes. The public demands their leaders have a high level of integrity. 19% Yes. They broke the law.

WWI exhibit extended; Return to Normalcy coming It was called “The War to End All Wars.” A world war in which 16 countries sent 65 million soldiers into combat. The casualties were horrendous—nearly 10 million killed and another 20 million wounded. Still, World War I did not deter Adolph Hitler from starting World War II. And, as the rhetoric ratchets up between President Donald Trump and Kim Jung Un, supreme leader of North Korea, and the specter of nuclear war hangs over us, it might be time to revisit the horrors and destruction of that first world war. The United States entered that war 100 years ago this year. To commemorate the local men who fought in it, the Wood County Historical Center & Museum earlier this year unveiled an extensive exhibit on the war entitled Over There! Send Word, The Wood County Boys Are Coming. If you go, don’t miss the trench, a 10foot tall, four-foot wide replica that gives you a realistic feel for what trench warfare must have been like. You can hear artillery shells bursting above. You can imagine the rain fall. You can feel the slop and mud seep through your boots, the thoughts of trench foot wicking up your legs. You sense the fear our boys must have felt when they heard the dreaded cry “Gas,” or the order to scramble over the top and charge through no man’s land into a hail of machine gun fire. Sobering. Which is exactly the feeling curator Holly Hartlerode and her staff wanted to convey when they built the trench. “We wanted to give people the feeling and the understanding of what it meant to be in these tunnels exposed to the elements, constant shelling, not knowing what was on the other side because if you

Festive holiday kickoff To the editor: Santa Claus arrived Dec. 2 aboard a Portage Fire District truck to kick off the holiday season in Oak Harbor. Later, at the annual Olde Fashioned Christmas Celebration, the Jolly Old Elf visited with more than 150 local children who enjoyed cookies and hot cocoa, and shopped downtown for gifts for their loved ones. The Oak Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce would like to extend a huge thank-you to the participating downtown stores, Oak Harbor DECA Elves, event volunteers, the Portage Fire Department, Dave Ninke, Oak Harbor Apple Festival Royalty, Santa and Mrs. Claus, Designs by Marie, Molly Judge DPM, and everyone who helped make the Christmas celebration a success this year. Don’t forget, children can also visit Santa at the Log Cabin on Dec. 15 from 6-8 p.m. Valerie Winterfield Executive Director, Oak Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce

A merry morning To the editor: A wonderful experience was had by all at the recent Breakfast with Santa sponsored by the Oregon/Northwood Rotary. Santa arrived at 8:20 in the morning with a rosy smile, several elves, a bunch of toys and a hearty ho, ho, ho. He had a chance to meet children of all ages and to

The trench is synonymous with World War I.” Hartlerode also wants visitors to understand how Imperialism and oppression led to the hopelessness which resulted in the shooting of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the fuse on the powder keg. That oppression also led to the massive wave of immigrants who entered our country—14.5 million from 1900 to 1920. Twenty rooms are dedicated to the ex-

discuss what gifts they want for Christmas. More than 440 people attended the breakfast, which was held at Clay high school, and more than 250 excited children sat on Santa’s lap. This was the largest crowd ever to arrive on a frosty Saturday morning to have breakfast, listen to Christmas stories by the Oregon Library, make ornaments at the craft tables, have their faces painted by Fassett Junior High School student volunteers and have a chance to win a new bicycle. What a joy it was to work together to give back to our community. The Oregon/ Northwood Rotary would like to thank the elves from Salon 151 for their years of service and dedication helping Santa during this holiday season. As Santa was leaving to meet other children all over the world, he asked me to plan again for next year. I told him, “Don’t worry, we will make it the best Breakfast with Santa ever.” Steve Bialorucki President, Oregon/Northwood Rotary

Caring community

To the editor: Jerusalem Township held the annual Christmas Party on Dec. 3 in the town hall. This is a purely volunteer community

effort and totally free to township children and their families. It is financially supported by our small local businesses and residents. Food, games, crafts, face-painting and, of course, Santa, all made for a jolly afternoon. It was so good to see the families enjoying quality time together. We ended by singing Christmas carols and a hearty ho, ho, ho. A big shout-out to our faithful volunteers, we are blessed to live in such a caring community. Cindy Bench Curtice

Concerned about country To the editor: I have a concern about how our country is changing. People with disabilities, veterans, women and children are getting much needed programs taken away. I believe this is because of President Trump’s policies and he should be removed from office. I’m raising money to make a commercial to remove him and have started gofundme/ com/helpgettrumpoutofoffice. It’s time we come together as one. Dylan Price Millbury

co to declare war on the United States. The exhibit was scheduled to close December 16, but response has been overwhelming, Hartlerode said, so it has been extended to December 1, 2018. Hartlerode and her staff are also putting together a mini-exhibit entitled The Return to Normalcy: A life of Leisure in Wood County 1920-1939. That opens February 1. Returning soldiers and their families, tired of war, had their fill of the world’s problems. They balked at President Woodrow Wilson’s agenda to create a significant role in world events for the United States. They wanted to look inward, pursue personal success and enjoy family life. They elected Republican Warren G. Harding, an Ohio publisher, who promised a Return to Normalcy. He initiated an agenda that was isolationist and pro big-business. He raised tariffs and cut taxes for the rich. His slogan “America First” was used by President Trump in last year’s election. The museum will accent, through exhibits and the 2018 Tea Series, the birth of popular music, the golden age of radio, cigarette advertising, the speed of the driving culture and the popularity of passenger ships on The Great Lakes. The next WWI event is entitled 1914 Christmas Truce. It will be held Thursday, December 14 at 2 p.m. RSVP to 419-3520967. For more information on both exhibits, go to woodcountyhistory.org.

Health Published second week of month.

Partnership to boost Wildwood fitness options Metroparks Toledo and Mercy Health announced new partnership that will provide Metroparks’ visitors new ways to enjoy the outdoors while improving their health and wellness. The Mercy Health Foundation is donating $100,000 a year for each of the next five years to fund the purchase and installation of all-weather, ergonomically-designed fitness equipment which incorporates the elements of a well-rounded fitness routine into outdoor fitness stations. Through this gift, Mercy Health and the Metroparks wants to provide additional health resources for the community, at no charge. The first of the new equipment will be installed near the Ward Pavilion at the east entrance to Wildwood Preserve as soon as spring 2018. Mercy Health and Metroparks collectively are working to address the obesity epidemic in Lucas County. With nearly 70 percent of all Lucas County residents either overweight or obese, the new outdoor equipment venue is designed for users of all abilities and fitness levels so as residents, even with no previous exercise experience, can use it to begin their health journey. The GTfit workout stations from Game Time at Wildwood will include three nodes with equipment designed for aerobic and balance exercise; core and muscle strengthening; and accessibility. “This will add a new dimension to the Metroparks experience,” said Dave Zenk, executive director of Metroparks Toledo. “Many people use the parks as part of a healthy lifestyle, and now, thanks to Mercy Health, we will be able to provide additional ways to improve fitness in an outdoor setting.” Metroparks is working with David Williams & Associates, a Game Time distributor that has supplied equipment for many of the park district’s playgrounds. “At Mercy Health, our commitment to health extends beyond the walls of our facilities. We want to empower the community to take back their own well-being and start the journey to healthy living,” said Bob Baxter, president and CEO, Mercy Health. “The Metroparks are a staple in Northwest Ohio and they serve as a great community destination for outdoor fun and exercise. Mercy Health is honored to partner with them on bringing another element to outdoor activity via these fitness stations.” “Mercy Health brings expertise in health and wellness, in addition to its generous financial support. This is the kind of partnership that allows us to go beyond providing core services, leveraging the expertise of our community while minimizing the financial burden on the taxpayers,” Zenk added.

Cleats for a Cause

Curtice youth designs cleat for Packers’ player By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com The Henegar family was glued to the TV last Sunday as the Green Bay Packers took on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And they were thrilled when the Packers pulled ahead to win 26-20 in overtime. The Curtice family cheered especially hard for Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews. They’re big fans of #52, who has become an ardent advocate for research and support for families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Matthews has teamed up with CureDuchenne, a non-profit organization that helps fund research for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Tammy and Scott Henegar’s son Braedan, 12, lives with Duchenne, a rare genetic disease that primarily affects males, but, in rare cases, can also affect females. Duchenne causes the muscles in the body to become weak and damaged over time. Estimates are that Duchenne affects more than 300,000 children worldwide. Today there is no cure. As game time approached, the Henegars couldn’t wait for Matthews to take the field, their eyes drawn directly to his custom cleats, not just because they were eye-catching, but because Braedan had a hand in creating the design. Throughout the league on Week 13, Matthews and other NFL stars wore special kicks as part of the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” initiative, which gives players the opportunity to wear their hearts on the cleats in support charitable causes that they are passionate about. And every cleat tells a story. For his cleats, Matthews sought the input of boys throughout the country living with Duchenne. “This year what I decided to do was hold a contest for all the boys suffering from Duchenne to submit what they would like to see me wearing this year for my cleats,” Matthews said in an NFL video promoting My Cause, My Cleats. “One of the things I really wanted when the kids submitted their drawings was for them to be as loud as possible, he said. That way, you get noticed on game day, so people wonder, ‘OK, what organization is he teaming up with... what cause is he promoting.” Braedan’s chance to participate began a couple of months ago when the Henegars organized a gathering of a group of Duchenne families at their home. “A crew from the NFL came to film the boys thanking Clay Matthews, who is instrumental in supporting Duchenne muscular dystrophy,” Tammy said. “Clay wanted to get the kids involved in designing his cleat this year, so when the families were together, we had the boys draw their design. And other kids from around the U.S. did as well,” she said. “We found out last week that he chose Braedan’s design for one of his cleats,” she said. Matthews chose a design featuring the helix of the CureDuchenne logo for his right shoe, and Braedan’s design, which featured camouflage in Packers colors for the left. “I think with these two shoes, I couldn’t be

“Honored to team up with @CureDuchenne again to help bring awareness to Duchenne muscular dystrophy through #MyCauseMyCleats,” Green Bay outside linebacker Clay Matthews wrote on his twitter page with this photo. “These cleats mean a great deal to me as they are the vision of two special boys battling Duchenne.” missed anywhere on the field,” Matthews said. Tammy was not surprised that Braedan, an avid hunter and outdoor enthusiast, designed his shoe to reflect something so close to his heart. “We were very surprised Clay chose Braedan’s design, but it seems as though he really loved it, and so did many others,” Tammy said. “And, he played very well, with great sacks,” Tammy said. “It was so cool to see Braedan’s design on his foot. In the video, Matthews also discussed why he wanted to participate in the My Cause, My Cleats initiative, which is in its second year. “My Cause, My Cleats is a great opportunity for the players simply because it’s a much higher cause, something that we’re passionate about, something to bring awareness to,” Matthews said. “It’s kind of surreal,” Matthews says in the video. “I look at myself as like anyone else – like these boys. I’m just a person who goes about his business, and my business just happens to be on Sunday in front of a lot of people playing the game of football. “But for these kids, they don’t have that opportunity.” Braedan is featured in the video, commenting on Matthews’ long hair and praising the football star’s support of Duchenne. “Clay, you inspire me that nothing can stop me and never to give up,” Braedan said. Matthews said getting boys living with Duchenne involved in the design process would “bring a smile on their face seeing a guy in front of millions of viewers wearing something that they designed. “I thought it was really neat, really cool and something that I’m really proud of,” he said.

Donate locally to support Duchenne research at www.braedansbridge.squarespace. com, the Henegar’s 501(c)(3) foundation. “We work closely with CureDuchenne and funds for research are directed through them.”

Think outside the gift box: donate blood and give life As the holidays approach, the American Red Cross is urging eligible donors to give think outside the gift box and giving life this December. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. In December, donations decline but the needs of patients remain steady. To encourage donations, all those who give blood or platelets Dec. 21 through Jan. 7, 2018, will receive a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last. Make an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767).

Advancing recovery housing plan For people struggling with an addiction to opioids, the period immediately following the initial detox can make all the difference. Recovery housing offers long-term support, empowering those in recovery to adjust to a drug-free lifestyle surrounded by a caring network of peers. Unison Health has announced plans to develop recovery housing in the Toledo area, designed to ensure a continuity of care as they transition from Unison Health’s detox facilities. According to Unison President Jeff DeLay, “Too many people leave detox without a safe place to go. They often end up going back to the people and places they were before, which makes it easier for old habits to return. Recovery housing provides a safe, drug- and alcohol-free place where people are surrounded by other individuals in recovery, who help one another maintain a commitment to sober living.” Unison Health recently received a pledge of nearly $500,000 in grant funding from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, as well as $83,000 from the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Lucas County to establish 38 recovery housing beds in the Toledo area. To receive these funds, Unison Health must raise approximately $100,000 in

matching funds by Dec. 31. A fundraising campaign is currently underway, with tremendous support coming from Unison’s staff and board of directors. Board members have pledged approximately $8,100 and staff members approximately $17,600. Contributions can be made by visiting www.unisonhealth.org or by calling Unison at 419-214-HOPE.

Toy safety tips to consider Giving gifts to children is a favorite part of winter holidays. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these recommendations for choosing a toys for the youngsters on your holiday gift list: • Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills and interest level of the intended child. Toys that are too advanced may pose safety hazards for younger children. • When choosing gifts for babies and toddlers, consider toys that will build developmental skills. Toys that can be manipulated, such as shape sorters, stacking blocks, and baby-safe puzzles, are great for developing fine motor, cognitive, and perceptual skills. For more tips on choosing toys for babies, see these toy selection tips on HealthyChildren.org. • If you are considering a digital device for a child or teen, such as a tablet,

Inspirational Message of the Week: Waiting on the Lord In this season of advent, we are told to wait upon the Lord, and reminded that this is more than just a time of waiting expectantly for Christmas. Waiting for Christmas is a microcosm of the cosmic wait experienced by creation in waiting for the Creator to take the form of creation and become man. Waiting can be hard, especially for the young, whose time horizons make days seem like years, but as we age, waiting gets easier as time seems to go by quicker with each passing year. How long is too long can also depend on what you are experiencing. Waiting to see the dentist can seem like an eternity when you have a toothache, whereas waiting for a delicious meal can be something we savor.

Waiting upon the Lord is an act of patience, humility and quietude. We must be patient, because we don’t know when or where the Lord will reveal Himself. We must be humble while waiting for the Lord because the Lord’s coming is done in His good time and not ours. And finally, we must clear a quiet space in our souls for the Lord to come. In the noisy hustle and bustle of our hectic lives, we might not hear the Lord’s quiet voice even if He were there.As we approach the celebration of the Lord’s birth, be patient, be humble, and make quiet space for the Lord to inhabit.“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” —Psalm 27:13-14 NIV

Children can have serious stomach and intestinal problems – including death – after swallowing button batteries or magnets. In addition to toys, button batteries may be in musical greeting cards, remote controls, hearing aids, and other small electronics. Small, powerful magnets may be part of building toy sets. Keep button batteries and magnets away from young children and call your health care provider immediately if your child swallows one. • To prevent burns and electrical shocks, do not give children under age 10 a toy that must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Holiday depression can be a very real problem While the holiday season is a happy and joyful time for most people, it can also be a time of sadness and depression for many. In most cases, overcoming seasonal depression is a simple process, but in some cases, it can be a serious problem. According to all the stories we see on TV, sparkling scenes in local department stores, and beautiful ad campaigns in magazines and newspapers, this is a happy season with all kinds of good times and pleasures. And while that can be true in many cases, all the promotion of this “happy” season can also build up unrealistic expectations and a resulting disappointment when we can’t match the images that are bombarding us. We may find ourselves becoming upset because we aren’t being invited to all the best parties, we can’t afford lots of amazing presents, and we aren’t having the “per-

The

Counseling Corner fect” holiday we imagine others are enjoying. When we compare ourselves to how things “ought to be” we can feel that we’re being cheated and left out for some reason. Other factors that can contribute to holiday depression are the lifestyle changes most of us face during this season. Our diets suddenly include more candy, cookies and alcohol than normal. We are exercising less, facing shorter, colder days, and have less time for outdoor activities and our regular routines. So how to avoid these depression triggers? A good starting point is simply real-

izing that the media-promoted “perfect” holidays don’t really exist. Instead of envying that television family or the holidays you imagine the neighbors having, focus instead on the good and positive things in your own life. Think about the things you really enjoy in this season.

It’s also a time to stay in control of your life. Balance holiday party temptations with a healthier diet at home. Make time for regular exercise. Just a brisk 30-minute daily walk has been shown to help fight holiday depression. It’s also important not to isolate yourself. Get together with friends and family, not to discuss how you’re feeling, but just to enjoy them socially. Doing so can do a great deal to lift your mood. But if you find that holiday depression isn’t going away for you despite your best efforts, talk to a counseling professional, your personal physician or your clergy. Serious depression is not a health problem to be ignored. Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

AAP urges leaders to take action on gun violence The American Academy of Pediatrics offers our deepest condolences to the victims and families who lost loved ones in the recent mass shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, and to the entire community as they grieve. These families and this community will need ongoing support, and our hearts go out to them during this time of tremendous and senseless loss. Childhood activities like attending church, school, or a concert, playing at home or playing in a park, should be routine parts of growing up, not the latest examples of where children were gunned down. Two of the five deadliest mass shootings in modern American history happened in the last 35 days. Every day on average, 93 people

die from gun-related injuries in this country, including mass shootings, homicides,

suicides and unintentional firearm injuries. Gun violence has taken root as an intractable, deadly epidemic in our nation. These are our children, grandchildren, neighbors, and friends. As pediatricians, these are the patients whose gunshot injuries we treat in emergency departments, and whose lingering stress, sadness and anxiety we help manage. These are families forever grieving, communities forever branded by one violent event, children forever the age they were when their lives were taken far too soon. It doesn’t have to be this way. We cannot simply keep expressing outrage, grief and frustration and letting the latest body count fade into yesterday’s news. We are not helpless. Like any epidemic, gun violence can be prevented. We know what works, we just need elected

leaders to take action – immediately – to move forward with meaningful solutions to stop gun violence in its tracks. Expanding background checks, banning assault weapons, and bolstering mental health resources are just a few evidence-based, common sense measures that we must act on now. What should strike us about the tragedy in Sutherland Springs is that this could be any town in America. Gun violence is in everyone’s hometown. This affects all of us, and it will take all of us acting together to make our country safer. We need leaders at every level of government to stand up and commit to protecting our communities, our families, and our children. It is not too soon to discuss meaningful, comprehensive public policies that will keep children safe from guns. For too many, it’s already too late.

Medicare or Medicaid? What’s the difference? By Erin Thompson Social Security Public Affairs Specialist, in Toledo A lot of people have a difficult time understanding the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. Both programs begin with “M.” They’re both health insurance programs run by the government. People often ask questions about what Medicare and Medicaid are, what services they cover, and who administers the programs. Let’s start with Medicare. Medicare is the national healthcare program for those age 65 or older and the disabled. You pay for some Medicare expenses by paying the Medicare tax while you work. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is the agency in charge of both Medicare and Medicaid, but you sign up for Medicare A (hospital) and Medicare B (medical) through Social Security. You can apply for Medicare online from the convenience of your home at the link on our website –www.socialsecurity. gov/medicare/. If you’re already receiving Social Security retirement benefits when you reach age 65 or are in the 25th month of receiving disability checks, we will enroll you automatically. Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Part D (prescription drug) plans are available for purchase in the insurance marketplace. Social Security administers a program called Extra Help to help people with low income and low resources pay for premiums, co-pays, and co-insurance costs for Part D plans. You can find out more about Extra Help and file for it at www. socialsecurity.gov/medicare/prescriptionhelp. Each year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publishes “Medicare and You” available online at www.medicare.gov/medicare-and-you/medicare-andyou.html. This publication is a user’s manual for Medicare. Medicare and Medicaid are two of the major insurance programs that provide healthcare to the American public.

Elmwood Skilled Nursing of Fremont, which opened on Fangboner Road in 2014, has been ranked among the nations best nursing homes for 2017-18 by U.S. News & World Report. (Submitted photo)

Elmwood of Fremont ranked in top Elmwood Skilled Nursing of Fremont has been named as one of the nation’s Best Nursing Homes for 2017-18 by U.S. News & World Report, a global authority in health care rankings. Only 15 percent of nursing homes in the United States achieved the ranking. Elmwood Communities opened their new, 30-suite, state-of-the art, skilled nursing and memory-care addition at the current senior living and healthcare campus on Fangboner Road in Fremont in October 2014. Since that time, the Skilled Nursing facility has earned several 5-star ratings and rehabilitation therapy awards. Kathy Hunt, owner and CEO of

Elmwood Communities, credited the Fremont staff for contributing to the facility’s success and top ranking. “I am incredibly proud of all of our staff members at Elmwood,” she said. “They work very hard each and every day to provide the best care and services to our very special clientele.” Jean Smith, Elmwood Skilled Nursing of Fremont Administrator, added, “Our Elmwood staff is made up of quality individuals with compassionate hearts, and they strive to earn this award every day. Each and every department is deserving of this award. They truly are an exceptional group.” To qualify as a Best Nursing Home, all facilities had to earn an average rating of 4.5

out of 5 during 10 months of federal reports ending in August 2017. They also must consistently meet performance standards set by U.S. News, such as earning at least a 4 in the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) overall rating for all 10 months. More than 15,000 nursing homes nationwide and nearly 100 major metropolitan areas were evaluated. Elmwood Assisted Living & Skilled Nursing of Fremont is located at 1545 Fangboner Rd.

More than a cold – doctors warn of RSV in children (COLUMBUS) – Like most moms, Shanisty Ireland had dealt with many bugs being passed among her three children. Last winter, she thought her newborn, Adam, had the same cold that had caused her older children to cough and sniffle. But as Adam ran a fever and struggled to keep his food down, she realized this was something far more serious. She took her baby to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus where he was diagnosed with respiratory syncytial virus, more commonly known as RSV. He spent four days inpatient receiving oxygen, IV fluids and breathing treatments that thankfully helped him fully recover. Because its symptoms are similar to those of other viruses – coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever, irritability and loss of appetite – RSV is considered the most common illness that many parents have never heard of. While in many healthy babies, RSV may not develop into a more serious illness, it is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children younger than 1 year of age in the United States, making it the most frequent cause of hospitalization for infants. More than 140,000 infants and young children in the U.S. end up hospitalized each year with illness caused by severe RSV infection. “By age 2, 90 to 100 percent of children have had at least one infection caused by RSV,” said Octavio Ramilo, MD, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at

Adam Ireland is a healthy 10-month-old, but was hospitalized at just 6 weeks old with breathing problems. He had RSV, a common respiratory virus that can make it hard for babies to breathe. The virus is often mistaken for a cold, but some babies develop severe, life-threatening symptoms. (Submitted photo)

John W. Bower Aug. 26, 1952 ~ Nov. 12, 2017 John W. Bower age 65 of Perrysburg, Ohio passed away suddenly Sunday November 12, 2017 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg after a brief battle with cancer. John was born August 26, 1952 in DeRidder, LA to John and Carol (Donohue) Bower. He moved from Genoa to Toledo in the 70’s and worked as a mechanic at Libby Glass for 45 years until retiring in 2016.

Nationwide Children’s. “Babies under 3 months of age are very prone to get sicker for two reasons: their lungs are very small and therefore unable to handle a lot of inflammation, and the white cells of their immune systems that protect us against infections are not ready yet.” Signs that a baby may be experiencing a severe form of RSV infection include not taking their bottles and breathing more rapidly than usual. If a parent suspects their child may be experiencing RSV, they should seek medical attention. “In most cases, children with the virus recover on their own in about a week, although a lingering cough can persist for up to three weeks,” said Asuncion Mejias, MD, PhD, principal investigator in the Center for Vaccines and Immunity in The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s. “However, for high-risk groups such as young infants, patients with conditions like chronic lung disease and congenital heart disease, and patients with compromised immune systems, RSV can become much more serious very quickly.” While there is no treatment for RSV, parents and caregivers can reduce the risk of RSV by washing hands frequently, disinfecting hard surfaces, and avoiding sharing dishes and utensils. Very young babies should not be exposed to many people, especially during the winter.

State runner-up Eastwood sweeps All-Press honors By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com The Midwest Athletic Conference, located mostly in Auglaize and Mercer counties, has won 123 various state team championships. The league has brought home one state title in football every year since 2009 and has been missing from state championship games only three times since 1991. There is no reason why our local leagues cannot meet up to that challenge. Eastwood has taken the first step.

Of the 10 schools in the Eastern Maumee Bay region, none have made the state championship game since the playoffs began 46 years ago — until now. The Eagles changed all that this year. Eastwood lost the Division V state final 21-14 in overtime to perennial power Wheelersburg, ending a record-setting 14-1 season. In voting by 10 area coaches and 10 media members, the Eagles swept this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press top honors. First-year coach Craig Rutherford was nearly a unanimous choice for Coach of the Year and 6-foot-2, 190 pound sophomore

running back Jaden Rayford won Offensive Player of the Year, also by a nearly unanimous vote. In a grueling 15-game schedule, of which Rayford missed one and a half games, he carried the ball 352 times for 2,205 yards, an average of 6.3 per carry, and 35 touchdowns. His longest run was 76 yards and he averaged 157.5 yards per game. Rutherford said there were times this year when he would drag three or four guys with him into the end zone. In the state championship game, Rayford ran 30 times for 136 yards, including 141 to the positive and five to the neg-

ative, plus he scored one touchdown. His longest run was 31 yards and he averaged 4.5 per carry. “Jaden had 140 yards rushing, and if he hadn’t played the game he did and he hadn’t taken it to them as many times, we wouldn't have gotten here. He carried the ball 30 times in an extremely physical game and we would have had no shot to be in this opportunity. So we have to give him a lot of credit for at least getting us to overtime,” Rutherford said after the game. However, the All-Press Defensive POY

voting went a little different. Eastwood’s 6-foot-1, 205 pound senior defensive lineman Antonio Salinas won that award, but he had beat out two of his own teammates. Finishing in a close second were 6-3, 247 pound senior lineman Dalton Andrews and 5-10, 182 senior linebacker Tyler Schmeltz. One more vote for either and they would have shared the honor. Another Eagle, 6-0, 168 senior lineman Zach Henline, also received Defensive POY votes. Salinas ended the season with 101 total tackles, including 61 tackles and 40 assists, but what was even more terrifying for opponents was his 29 tackles for a loss and 14 sacks. He also caused three fumbles and recovered one. Schmeltz had 119 total tackles, including 70 tackles and 49 assists, plus five tackles for a loss, one caused fumble and two fumble recoveries. Henline had 97 tackles (57, 40), including 18 for a loss, 16½ sacks, two caused fumbles and eight fumble recoveries. Andrews had 56 tackles (36, 20), 14 for a loss, seven sacks, and caused one fumble, plus it was his play that kept the Wheelersburg passing game at bay by putting pressure on the quarterback in the state championship game. When Andrews got hurt in the second quarter, Wheelersburg got away with two touchdown drives at the end of each half without Andrews in the game, and it was the Pirates’ passing game that beat the Eagles. “Obviously, we are going to look back on how special this season was and how great of a game this was. It’s hard right now, as close as we were, and it was everything we expected it to be,” Coach Rutherford said. “The amazing thing for us is, even as one of our best players gets hurt, we continued to have guys step up. We were right there in a game that we had so many chances, and it was never just one of our guys who made a play for us this year. It wasn’t just one guy who came up a little bit short. I’m just really proud of the effort that our guys brought to this game and to this whole season.” Senior quarterback Jake Pickerel, a second team selection, and first team All-Press senior outside linebacker Cory Coffman say the memory will last a lifetime. “I’m very proud,” Pickerel said. “These seniors ought to be very proud this year. We’ll never forget this. Twenty years from now our seniors will get together and we’ll still talk about this game.” Coffman added, “I am extremely proud of what we accomplished this year. Obviously, we are always going to think, ‘What if we got this play?’, ‘What if we got that?’ It’s tough, but in a couple days we will be able to realize what we accomplished was extremely special and people are going to remember this for a long time. I truly believe we left it all out there. I don’t think we have any regrets coming off the field, how hard we played, how physical we were. I think we really gave it our all and I’m glad for all of our guys.” Eastwood’s line play was so dominant that in All-Press voting, the Eagles grabbed nearly every spot in the trenches on both offense and defense. Even Wheelersburg 10th-year coach Rob Woodward noticed. “They’re offensive line was the best that I’ve seen all year on film. They’re running backs run so hard, and defensively they were so fast. Their secondary and their guys up front have a lot of speed,” Woodward said.

Another victory for Buckeyes, tough ending for Deiter For those who wondered how good Ohio State might be compared to the rest of the Big Ten, particularly Wisconsin, you found out in the Big Ten championship. Unbeaten Wisconsin, ranked No. 3 nationally going into the game, had the nation’s longest winning streak at 12 games. One reason for their success was their freshman running back, Jonathan Taylor, who had 1,806 rushing yards going into the game and was Big Ten Freshman of the Week eight times this year. In addition, the Badgers’ defense was tops in the nation and in their previous three games they allowed a total of 10 points. Wisconsin was a formidable representative of the Big Ten’s West Division. The East Division representative was Ohio State, who has been bi-polar this year depending on which team they bring. They lost early to Oklahoma and had difficulty beating Penn State before taking a whipping from unranked Iowa. Iowa served as a wakeup call, however, and they easily finished the season including wins against Michigan State and Michigan. Both teams were hoping for a big win in a championship game that might have helped them get selected for the national playoffs. Ohio State scored six minutes into the first quarter with an 84-yard J.T. Barrett pass to Terry McLaurin. Four minutes later Wisconsin linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel got a pick-six and the score was tied. With less than a minute left in the quarter the Buckeyes took the lead for good on a Barrett 57-yard pass to Paris Campbell. The rest of the game pretty much belonged to Ohio State as their offense handled the tough Wisconsin defense by rushing for 238 yards while holding the Badgers to only 60 yards, which is well below their average of 244 per game. Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins got 179 yards to set a single season OSU freshman record of 1,364. As for Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett’s knee surgery just six days before the game, he looked as if he may have been a bit slower but ran well 19 times and scored OSU’s third TD on a 1-yard plunge in the second quarter. Barrett overthrew a few passes to wide open receivers and a few balls were dropped that should have been caught. OSU speed was much superior to the Badgers, which was particularly noticeable when the wide receivers broke free and easily outran the defensive backs assigned to cover them. Defensively the Buckeyes were tough. They shut down the run and didn’t allow any meaningful pass completions. Wisconsin only scored one TD offensively. Seventeen of the Badger points came from

In My Opinion

by Harold Hamilton OSU turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble). Numerous game and school records were set by OSU, including the 35 singleseason TD passes thrown by Barrett and most Big Ten Championship game tackles (16) by OSU’s Jerome Baker. It was the 36th Big Ten football title for Ohio State. Wisconsin’s offensive lineman, Genoa graduate Mike Deiter has started for three years and successfully played multiple positions for the Badgers O-line. In Saturday’s game, he had the task of blocking the Buckeye’s All-American defensive player Nick Bosa. Deiter did well considering the problems other linemen have had when faced with the same task throughout the season.

Wisconsin is a great school and always fields a good team. Their players seem to have high moral integrity, which apparently is becoming scarce in today’s college football environment. This loss had to be painful to a team that had such high hopes, particular since the Badgerse also loss to Ohio Mike Deiter State the last time the two teams met for the Big Ten championship in 2014. The bus ride home to Madison was likely a long one. (Harold Hamilton is a freelance photographer from Northwood who covered the Big Ten championship on press credentials provided through The Press.

Hall, Brossia, Sutter playing key roles for ‘Jackets By Bruce Hefflinger Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Liam Hall was uncertain what to expect with college soccer. The results were better than even the freshman imagined. “It exceeded my expectations,” the Oak Harbor graduate said following a record-setting first year at Defiance College. “I didn’t plan on starting every game or scoring five goals and having seven assists.” Hall, one of three area players on the DC roster along with Jarod Brossia and Cody Sutter, earned honorable mention accolades for his freshman performance after helping the Yellow Jackets to their best finish ever in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. “Liam was huge for us,” DC coach Jordan Valentine said. “We knew he had the capability to be a big player for us but you never know with a freshman if they’re able to transition. Some take a little longer, but Liam hit the ground running and broke our (single season) school assist record.” Hall’s best outings came in consecutive games, a goal and assist in a 2-0 win over Franklin followed by a pair of goals in a 2-1 victory over rival Bluffton. “Club soccer was a big factor in the way I played,” the 6-1 145-pounder said. “I was a lazy player before that because I always played, but when I wasn’t starting with Club I learned to work hard day in and day out. That’s big for me now.” One of seven freshman starters on the Jackets, Hall helped DC to a 4-1-2 start to the season, its best since 1996, and a final mark of 8-8-2, the first .500 record since 2013. “I love the school,” said the highestscoring freshman in the league this season. “If the freshmen stick together four years we can do big things.” Valentine knows Hall will be a big part of it should DC reach the postseason for the first time in school history. The Jackets were fifth in the HCAC this year, with the top four teams advancing to the league tournament. “Liam’s a winner,” Valentine said. “He wants to win whether its practice or a game

(Courtesy Defiance Sports Information Department) and he’ll do whatever it takes to help the team perform to the best of its ability.” Brossia, a sophomore at DC, started the season slowly following a change in position before an injury cut the year short, resulting in the Genoa graduate playing in nine games with one start. “I moved to the outside midfield posi-

tion as a freshman but this year came in and was more of a defensive center midfielder,” Brossia explained. “I had played it in high school so I was used to it, but here it was more of a defensive role than attack.” Moving Brossia was beneficial to the success of the Jackets according to Valentine.

“With his skill set we wanted him to keep possession of the ball,” Valentine said of Brossia, who missed nearly the last three weeks of the season due to a sprained ACL. “We wanted him to control the tempo and keep possession of the ball for us. “It’s probably where he’ll continue playing,” Valentine added. “He hadn’t played it much, but he has a lot of potential if he just fixes up a few things.” Brossia, a business major with a minor in marketing, has found college soccer quite a challenge. “It’s a lot more than people expect,” the 6-0 170-pounder said. “Everyone is bigger, faster and stronger. They’re athletic and quick. The speed of the game is a lot faster than high school. It takes time to get used to it.” Valentine likes where Brossia is at in the program. “He’s a hard worker,” the fourth-year DC coach said. “He’s bought into what we’re trying to do and how we’re trying to do it. He’s a big locker room guy for us.” Sutter missed much of his sophomore campaign after starting in nine games a year ago. “By the time he came back we had found our groove with the starting 11,” Valentine said of Sutter, who suffered a concussion during preseason and did not return until game eight of the regular season. “We didn’t want to rush him back, especially as a defender who has to head the ball a lot. “It was a strained season for him with the injury hindering him, but the way he works he should be in the mix to start next year. He’s a hard worker that’s willing to sacrifice to do what he needs to do to help the team.” Valentine is counting on all three locals to play key roles in the immediate future. “We brought in 21 freshmen and were the second youngest team in the conference,” Valentine noted about the 2017 season. “I’m happy with what we did and there are good things going for us. The best years are yet to come. We only lost five seniors and I think next year we can compete for the conference championship.”

Comets a force to reckon with in Northern Buckeye By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Never mind that Genoa’s wrestling team is the unanimous choice by the coaches to win their sixth straight Northern Buckeye Conference title. The Comets, under seventh-year coach Bob Bergman, are aiming higher. Last year’s squad placed second at the Division III state tournament behind Mechanicsburg (and just ahead of Oak Harbor), and this year’s team is focused on winning the school’s first state wrestling championship. Genoa returns six state qualifiers, including three state champs and one state runner-up. As an added bonus, the Comets have added sophomore Kevin Contos, a 152-pounder who transferred from Clay. Contos placed sixth at last year’s D-I state tournament and will be eligible to compete for Genoa beginning Jan. 10, according to Bergman. “We have the firepower to do something special this year, to top our performance last year,” Bergman said. “That’s what the kids have been talking about. We know we have the potential to (win state). If you’re not humble, you’ll stumble, and we’re not going out talking about it outside our (practice) room. The goal every day is to get better and push each other.” The Comets first 13 to 14 practices went “tremendously smooth and we haven’t had a bad day yet,” Bergman said. He added that the wrestlers are hungry and the underclassmen are learning from the veterans. Genoa has 22 wrestlers on the varsity roster. “We have depth in a couple spots, but not all the way through the lineup,” Bergman said. “We have a solid (backup) in about four or five spots where we can pop him in there and he can hold his own. The kids do a pretty good job of figuring out where their best optimal weight’s going to be. We’ve had a very good fall. All of them were very active and none of them were coming in really heavy.” Genoa opened the season on Tuesday with NBC dual matches against Fostoria and host Otsego. The Comets beat the Redmen, 79-0, and defeated the Knights, 62-12. “It was going to be real nice to start wrestling other people,” Bergman said prior to the matches. “The kids are at that point where they’ve been working and working and they’re looking for a payday. There are

a lot of great match-ups across the board in our room. The guys are anxious.” Genoa returns 10 NBC placers and eight district qualifiers from last season. The Comets’ returning state champions are juniors Oscar Sanchez, who won the title at 106 pounds and is moving up to 113 this season; Dylan D’Emilio at 113; and James Limongi at 160. Those three combined for 139 wins last season. Junior Julian Sanchez (50-4 record), the state runner-up at 120 last year, will bump up to 126 this season, followed by Dylan D’Emilio at 132. Sophomore Dustin Morgillo (138) was also a state qualifier. Senior 182-pounder Xavier Beach was a state alternate last year and earned AllAmerica status at last summer’s Disney Duals along with senior Seth Moore (170), who has more than 100 career wins. Senior heavyweight Noah Koch was a district qualifier last year and earned a medal at the Disney Duals. “We’re high on Noah,” Bergman said. Senior Andrew Muir (145) competed at the district tournament a year ago and will be joined in the lineup by sophomore Corey Welsh (106 pounds), who won 25 matches last year. Freshman Devin D’Emilio, a middle-school state qualifier last year, will wrestle at 113 and 120, while sophomore Antonio Quezada (170/182) won 23 matches as a freshman. Sophomore Brian Martin (195), who was named the Comets’ most improved wrestler last year, returns after winning 10 matches in 2016-17. He will be joined by fellow juniors Christian Aranda (220) and Jacob Stewart (145). Aranda earned a medal at the Disney Duals, and Stewart won 17 matches last season. “Jacob is one of our best athletes,” Bergman said. “He’s going to turn some heads this year.” Genoa received all eight first-place votes by the coaches to win the NBC. Rossford was chosen second followed by Eastwood, Lake, Elmwood, Otsego, Woodmore and Fostoria. The NBC tournament is Feb. 3 at Elmwood. Bergman said the Comets know they will have to work hard to defend their conference title. “The NBC has a lot of talent, so you never know,” he said. “A lot of things can happen in wrestling. It’s a contact sport with skin issues, weight issues, eligibility, and injuries. We don’t take anything for granted because a lot can change in wrestling pretty quickly.”

Ottawa County Grand jury returns over a dozen indictments After a recent session, the Ottawa County Grand Jury has returned indictments against the following individuals: • Amanda Cooper, whose last known address is Curtice, was indicted on multiple drug-related felony charges, along with a charge of Tampering With Evidence. Reports indicate that agents of the Ottawa County Drug task Force, along with deputies of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, searched Cooper’s home last month and found methamphetamine as well as drug abuse instruments and paraphernalia. • George Hurrell, III, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been indicted on two counts of Domestic Violence after he reportedly caused physical harm to two family members last month. The charges are felonies of the fourth degree, due to Hurrell’s prior domestic violence conviction. • Daniel E. Pribe, Jr., who is also being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was indicted on one count each of Menacing by Stalking and Violating a Protection Order, both felonies. Pribe is accused of contacting a person who obtained

a protection order against him. The indictment also alleges that Pribe has previously been convicted of violating an order of protection. • Ronald L. Harper, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been indicted on one count of Rape, a felony of the first degree. According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office reports, Harper engaged in sexual conduct with a minor under the age of 10 in 2016. The charge carries a potential penalty of life imprisonment. • James Goldick Sr., has been charged with one count of Vandalism after he reportedly caused more than $1,000 damage to a Carroll Township campground in August. • Cody Habel, also being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been indicted on three counts of Rape, all felonies of the first degree. The indictment specifies that Habel engaged in sexual conduct with a minor under the age of 10 on three occasions over a two-year period. • Diane Behlmer, also being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been

charges with five counts of Grand Theft and one count each of Safecracking and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle after she reportedly stole several firearms from a Carroll Township residence last month. • Matthew Shiffert, of Graytown, has been indicted on 75 felony charges relating to child pornography. According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office reports, hundreds of pornographic images of children were found on Shiffert’s computer earlier this year. • Randy L. Adams, Jr., of Curtice, has been indicted on one count of Tampering with Evidence after he reportedly altered, concealed or destroyed evidence in a felony investigation being conducted by the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office last June. • Thomas Cook, who is being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was charged with three counts of Unlawful Sexual Contact with a Minor after he allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with a minor under the age of 16 earlier this year. • Several local individuals were charged with a number of felony drug offenses including:
