City undecided on dispatch center Northwood officials are continuing to discuss the possibility of being part of a regional dispatch center with other communities in Wood County, but nothing yet has been decided. Lake Township Police Chief Mark Hummer recently gave a presentation on the topic to Northwood City Council. Hummer, who is leading the effort, has made similar presentations to Lake Township, Walbridge and Rossford, which would also be part of the center. Currently, Lake Township dispatches for Rossford, Walbridge and Millbury. Northwood has its own dispatch service for fire and police. Hummer, Northwood Administrator Bob Anderson and other Wood County officials have been meeting since 2009 to discuss the matter. A regional dispatch study funded by an $87,840 state grant looked into establishing a regional dispatch center and the formation of a council of governments to manage it, said Hummer. “A consolidation of emergency dispatching services for Lake Township, the villages of Millbury and Walbridge, and the

cities of Rossford and Northwood would be a better format to meet changes for the 9-11 system being planned by the state,” said Hummer. The country is preparing for the transition to a “Next Generation 9-1-1” or NG91-1, a technological upgrade to the current 9-1-1 system. NG9-1-1 is expected to improve public emergency communications services by updating the 9-1-1 service infrastructure, which will allow the public to transmit text, images, video and data to a 9-1-1dispatch center, also known as a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Costly system Last February, the Federal Communications Commission, according to Hummer,
gave a report to Congress that noted plans for the Next Generation system of 9-1-1, which he said would be expensive. “But they’re not going to give us any more money,” he said. “I think we’ve heard that story before.” The upgrade will require the installation of a costly fiber optic system, which would allow dispatch centers to receive text messages and video. “It’s going to be very expensive, not only to put in, but to maintain. They have a plan on how we can do that. They want to lower the number of PSAPS in each county. Wood County currently has eight PSAPS. By 2018, they are only going to fund three. You will be able to fund your own, if you wish to, but if the county is not in compliance, they are going to cut 50 percent of our funding,” he said. A regional dispatch system would provide a seamless flow of information between the jurisdictions and responders, he said. “It would give us consistent service levels and standard operating procedures. And it would improve our staffing efficiencies,” he said. Costs to each community, he said, would be reduced over time.

A sergeant in the Village of Genoa Police Department who mocked a neighboring police chief in Facebook by posting cartoons has been disciplined for his actions. Sgt. Todd Mocniak took down the Facebook posts referencing Clay Township Police Chief Terry Mitchell and had “corrective counseling” in a one-on-one session with Chief Bob Bratton in early December, the chief said. Clay Township borders part of Genoa and the departments regularly assist one another with mutual aid calls. “He got a sit down meeting with me,” Bratton continued. “I thought it was in bad taste that he did that.” Mocniak, a more than 10-year veteran of the department, is an avid Internet user and regularly posts items on his personal Facebook and Twitter accounts, the chief said. However, the items in question were brought to Bratton’s attention in November by staff from another law enforcement agency. “We thought it was not in the best judgment and it was about a chief of an area police department.” Bratton outlined the problem in a letter written Nov. 18 to Mayor Mark Williams. He noted the cartoons were standard ones that came from a pull-down menu and that users then inserted their own words to finish the cartoon. Mocniak told Bratton he considered the cartoons a joke. But there’s a history between the two departments and its officers and the cartoons only served to open old wounds, Bratton said. In one of the two cartoons, two children are seen running from a house with a broken window. One of the children is carrying a baseball bat. The caption states: “Jamie and Todd won’t be playing ball near the old Mitchell place again.” The second child supposedly refers to a former Clay Township police officer. “He didn’t think anything of it. He thought it was a joke. But as a command officer he should know better … and there’s an underlying history there with the departments to consider,” Bratton said. Bratton said he spoke to Mitchell on behalf on his department regarding the issue.

Dispatch Continued from front page “We would be better prepared for future technology needs because we’ll be able to spread the costs. We’re not going to come in here and tell you we’re going to save a bunch of money right off the bat. But the goal is to save a lot of money over the long term and minimize our initial capital costs,” he said. The formation of the council of governments would give equitable representation to communities that are involved. “Equitable representation gives everyone oversight. It’s a council of governments, which you have a voice on,” he said. Local control “We can add additional users without them being a member of the council of government. I have been approached by other agencies that have shown an interest. If we get this up and running, they could be subscribers paying into our service. It also allows future opportunities to share functions. The more of us who come together, I think the chances of us losing our PSAP in 2018 are less. You are a force to be reckoned with. I think the more we can get on board with this, the more we’ll be able to maintain our local control and our local destiny,” he said. Location of the regional dispatch center would be decided by the council of governments. “The study has indicated we need about 2,230 square feet for a regional dispatch center covering this geographic area and it needs to be expandable.

There would have to be building renovations, probably costing $115,000,” he said. The Northwood facility on Wales Road would require renovations costing between $15,000-$30,000. “It is a dedicated and secure area for dispatch - with a total of about 500 square feet. There may be some issues with expansion in the future. They would be using existing staff facilities in the building. The beauty of this is we have two facilities that
would work,” he said. Northwood Administrator Bob Anderson said the city remains noncommittal at this time. “It’s probably a good idea on its face,” he said. “But as you all know, the devil’s in the details, getting everything together. It’s probably a good idea to keep on talking – the trustees and the affected city councils. The concept of sharing services makes sense to me. As Mark touched on, this is kind of an update to see where we go. There are some things that need to be discussed.

Location is one, and cost is another thing.” “Any thought of giving this a whirl prior to doing all this to see whether or not it would work?” Northwood Law Director Brian Ballenger asked Hummer. “We kind of did give it a whirl – when you were gracious enough to allow our dispatch center to move in with yours for about a month,” said Hummer. “Did it work?” asked Ballenger. “As quick as it was thrown together,” said Hummer, “it did work. The important thing is the personalities got along.”

Committee had concerns about senior levy By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian and Councilman Terry Reeves, chairman of Oregon’s Recreation and Parks Committee, last summer told the president of the James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center that accurate information on a proposed 0.5-mill senior services levy should be provided to voters to increase chances of getting it passed. Seferian and Reeves told Bob Marquette, president of the center, that voters don’t like to be “duped.” The committee met on July 22 and recommended to council, which met that evening, to place the levy on the Nov. 5 ballot. The levy was passed. But some felt betrayed after it was learned Marquette may have provided inaccurate information about the need for the levy in an effort to get it passed. Marquette, as chair of the Oregon Citizens Supporting Senior Services prolevy group, had appeared before council and the school board after the committee meeting to promote the levy. He had claimed the Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Inc. (AOoA) and the city cut funding to the center last year when in fact they had not. Funding from the AOoA and the city remained the same in 2013 as in 2012. The center had received less from the AOoA in 2012 compared to 2011 partly because the center had underperformed in providing contracted services to seniors. Voters had also been unaware that Marquette and Bob Benton, director of the senior board, earlier last year rejected the possibility of getting $250,000 from the AOoA to expand operations at the center. The AOoA, which collects revenue from a Lucas County Senior Services levy, made the offer because the city plans to spend $750,000 to expand the senior center building on Bay Shore Road this year. Instead, Marquette and Benton opted for a local senior levy, which would bring in over $200,000 in annual revenue, on the November ballot, according to city and county officials. Accuracy Marquette said at the committee meeting that the levy was needed “to maintain the financial stability for the services rendered for the senior community.” But Seferian said voters would first want to know how the center planned to use the revenue before they supported a levy. “We’re very cautions when we want to add taxes to the base for anyone in the city,” said Seferian, who was opposed to the levy. “We were recently blessed with some tax revenues. We could make real handsome contributions to the senior center in terms of operations.” Seferian said it would be a battle to get the levy passed and that voters should receive accurate information to help them
decide whether or not to back it. “No one wants to be duped,” said Seferian. “No one even wants to think that their tax dollars are going to be spent frivolously. The key thing on the part of whatever committee puts this together is having accurate information, and a lot of it.” “Absolutely,” said Marquette, who went on to say that the AOoA had cut the center’s funding by $16,000, which was inaccurate. The center had received less money in 2012 and 2013 than in 2011, but mostly because it had not used all the funding allocated by the agency. The city has also contributed $47,715 to the center since 2011. Fundraisers Marquette told the committee that the center has had to rely on fundraisers to help pay for employees’ salaries. “The funding we receive from the AOoA and the city does not cover the costs of operating, let alone the costs of personnel and wages. We must have fundraisers to meet those ends,” said Marquette. Senior center director Paula Benton, he added, couldn’t make payroll without the fundraisers. “It happens constantly throughout the
year. And when we got hit with the loss of those funds, where do you make up $16,000? You just don’t. We have to have these fundraisers,” he said. Justin Moor, vice president of planning and program development at the AOoA, told The Press last week that the agency has a purchase of service contract with the senior center based on services it expects to provide to seniors. The AOoA reimburses the center for those services. “We do not provide lump sum grants to cover salaries,” he said. The senior center submits a budget, which includes a breakdown of how much funding will go towards salaries associated with providing the services to seniors, he added. Usually, the director of the center submits the budget to the AOoA. Moor said he does not know why Marquette said the center does not have enough funding from the AOoA and the city to cover operating expenses and payroll. “I think that would be a question best answered by the senior center because they’re the ones who put together the budget they submit to us,” he said. Marquette and Benton did not return messages from The Press for comment.
Craig Bridge closure The Craig Memorial Bridge, (SR 65) which spans the Maumee River between Front and Summit streets in Toledo, will be closed to traffic beginning Monday, Jan. 6 at 7 a.m. through Saturday March 15 to allow workers to paint the bascule spans.

Ron Sims praised for work as trustee By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The 12 years Ron Sims was a member of the Lake Township Board of Trustees marked one of the most progressive periods in the township history – highlighted by the construction of new facilities and parks, the creation of a police K-9 unit and a Special Response Team, the acquisition of modern vehicles and equipment for the police and fire departments and other advancements, said Richard Welling, a trustee, who paid tribute Monday to Sims during the trustees’ final meeting of 2013. Sims was not re-elected in the November election and didn’t attend the meeting. “The trustees’ decisions and actions over the past 12 years have successfully met the rigorous challenges, mandates and technological changes of the 21st century,” Welling said, reading from a prepared statement. He said Lake Township was the first township in Wood County to adopt gas
and electric service aggregation, collectively saving residents thousands of dollars on their utility bills. The board of trustees during Sims time in office hired the township’s first solicitor to help expedite legal decisions. He also credited Sims for helping complete the purchase of property on Ayers Road where a new fire station was constructed, replacing a station built in the 1940s. “The majority of the current staff of police officers and firefighters on the Lake Township rolls have been hired and promoted during the past 12 years,” Welling said. “They are an outstanding group of well trained and professional men and women.” The trustees’ decision to hire an administrator was also made while Sims held office and Welling credited administrator Mark Hummer for facilitating more efficient governmental service. He praised parks director Ron Hanley and volunteers on the parks committee for implementing the Music in the Park and farmers market programs.
The township has also benefited from more than $1 million in grants for roads, dispatching service and the police and fire departments, Welling said. He also praised Vicki Schwamberger, fiscal officer, for her efforts during the rebuilding of the township administration building in the wake of the June 2010 tornado. Jeff Pettit, who was elected in November, was sworn into office for a fouryear term along with Welling, who was reelected. Trustee Melanie Bowen and Welling welcomed Pettit and said he’d bring a new perspective to the office. In other business, the trustees: • Approved a resolution renewing dental, vision and life insurance coverage employees with Guardian Insurance. • Re-appointed James Balogh and Dwight Gettings to five-year terms on the board of zoning appeals, effective Jan. 1. • Scheduled the organizational meeting for Jan. 7 at 5:30 p.m.
Genoa updates phone system village wide By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press An upgrade in the village administration’s telephone system is almost complete in Genoa. The communications update was necessary given the old system was nearly 15 years old, administrator Kevin Gladden said. Liberty Consulting, also known as ISSO, is the company charged with handling the changeover. The estimated cost is about $12,000 but the final bill won’t be issued until the project is finished in the next few weeks, according to Chuck Brinkman, village fiscal officer. Capabilities of the new system far exceed the old system. “The (old) phone system is pretty simple. It’s about 15 or 16 years old,” Gladden said.
New options will enable staff members to access their phone calls and messages easier. “It makes it a lot better if you are willing to use the options,” Gladden noted regarding the new technology. Gladden’s telephone messages can be routed through a computer and will send messages to his cell phone while he’s in the field. “Since I’m mobile a lot, it will go to my phone in the form of a text or email,” says Gladden whose is often checking on work progress of public utility crews throughout the village. “The message will follow me wherever I go.” Police Chief Bob Bratton is also ready to embrace the new system. A new, separate phone system just went on line for the police department phone system on Friday. Bratton especially likes that he can for-
ward his calls to his cell phone when he leaves the office. Or, from an outside location, he can call in and access his messages. “It’s going to be a lot easier for people to get a hold of us. When you’re a small department, like we are, people like to be able to reach you to talk about a number of things,” the chief said. The office already offers an alert system when a visitor arrives at the office and finds it empty. Press a button in the lobby and an officer is sent to stop by to check in with the visitor. Still, in the event of an emergency, Bratton notes common sense must prevail. Don’t leave messages, Bratton stresses. In those instances, call 9-1-1 or the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office main line (419-7344404) manned by dispatchers 24 hours a day.

New contractor registration fee By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Working on commercial and residential building projects in Ottawa County comes with a price in 2014. A new contractor registration fee took effect Jan. 1 in the Ottawa County Building Inspection Department. The cost for a certificate of registration is $100 per trade annually, with a maximum fee of $200, according to the motion passed in early November by the Ottawa County Commissioners. Contractors are required to file for the new fee annually before any plans or permits are processed on their behalf, Building Inspection Chief Tracy Buhrow said. The commissioners’ decision to enact the fee followed nearly 18 months of research as well as a Nov. 5 meeting to gather input from builders and contractors in the area. “In fact, we started looking at the contractor fee because of some of the complaints we had received from local contractors about other groups coming in here and not following the same rules,” Buhrow explained. The county department now will be responsible for checking on mechanical and commercial licenses for specialty work such as refrigeration, electrical and mechanical services. “That used to be handled
by the State of Ohio. We had no authority to monitor those licenses before,” Buhrow explained. “There were a lot of contractors who were not licensed for some of the work they were doing.” State law does not require general contractors to be licensed. Another change: Building department regulations also will require proof of liability insurance as well as workman’s compensation benefits. “We never had that before,” Buhrow said. “Our goal is to protect the homeowners. And, the contractors are working on a level playing field.” Homeowners on do-it-yourself projects also aren’t required to pay the fee. So, for example, a person building a deck would file for the permit and then a homeowner’s exemption regarding the fee. Department staff take it on faith the resident will complete the work themselves and not bring in subcontractors to undertake the project, Buhrow said. Those caught disobeying the rules could result in pulled permits or a number of different options depending on the violation, Buhrow noted. None of the building permit costs will change in the upcoming year. They were last updated about three years ago. For a list of those costs, check out the building inspection department link on the county website www.co.ottawa.oh.us.

T-BONE OR Help with heating bills available PORTERHOUSE STEAKS $ 99 The Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP) at WSOS, which kicked off Nov. 1, has assisted 497 households in the agency’s four-county service area with paying their heating bills. The figure represents an increase over the 373 that received assistance during the same time period in 2012. EHEAP provides one-time assistance for paying heating bills for those who have received shut-off notices, including up to $175 to pay regulated utilities, $350 for wood, $450 for non-regulated utility companies and up to $750 for those who use propane and have less than a 10-day supply left in the tank. To be eligible, applicants must meet income requirements, which this year is 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. Residents who do not have shut-off notices can get assistance once per heating season through regular HEAP. HEAP applications can be filed online, via mail or by scheduling an appointment with a WSOS HEAP staff member. EHEAP operates until March 31, 2014. Regular HEAP applications will be accepted until May 31, 2014. WSOS will also assist with re-verifying PIPP plus customers, who must re-verify their status with the heating source each year.

Trends from the 2013 news
From green slime in Lake Erie to making crime pay Here are 10 possible trends emerging from the stories that made The Press in 2013. 1) Green Slime: The progress seems painfully slow. The threat to our multi-billion dollar fishing and tourism industry is real. So real it has spurred bipartisan support in the Ohio legislature. Sen. Randy Gardner (R) and Rep. Chris Redfern (D) will provide leadership roles in the newlyformed Lake Erie Caucus. The caucus will address open-lake dumping of dredge material and phosphorous run-off from farm fields, two practices that, coupled with aging sewer systems, are the likely culprits contributing to toxic-algal blooms (green slime). In 2011 the slime covered some 2,000 square miles. It can be as toxic as cobra venom. Creation of a pilot wetland system at the mouth of Wolf Creek in Oregon is one new effort to reduce contaminants heading for Lake Erie. More strategies are needed and soon. 2) The Digital Revolution: Kindergarten teachers at Eastwood are using iPads to help struggling students catch up while challenging the gifted. Oregon has provided junior high students with personal iPads and next year Clay students will get laptops. Both districts received state grants to develop on-line content with the goal of eliminating expensive textbooks. Genoa installed a new Wi-Fi system to help teachers modify learning programs to include innovative technology. Cardinal Stritch freshmen received iPads in 2012. The Digital
Page Two
by John Szozda Revolution is here. 3) Making gang crime pay: According to the FBI, there are 33,000 gangs with 1.4 million members operating in the U.S. To combat that growth, some police departments and prosecutors in Ohio are dusting off a little-used bill drafted in 1998 by former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery and sponsored by John Garcia, a state representative from East Toledo. The bill classifies participation in a criminal gang as a felony and tacks on two to eight years to any crime committed by a gang member. Hamilton County, Lorain and Toledo have resurrected the bill and used it effectively. It may be difficult to implement, but it’s a needed tool. 4) Opportunity in the trades: A group of local manufacturers donated $65,000 to Oregon schools for the purchase of a Computer Numerical Controlled milling center to train prospective employees. In Ottawa County, the community improvement corporation took high school officials on a tour of four manufacturers to give them a better understanding of career paths in the skilled trades. Rising labor costs overseas and higher transportation costs have led to a rebirth
in manufacturing in the U.S. and that has opened up good paying jobs in the skilled trades. 5) Gun raffles: Volunteer groups are finding it increasingly difficult to field the manpower needed to raise funds through community festivals. For nearly 40 years, The Millbury Fire Department counted on the annual Ox Roast to fund equipment purchases, but in 2013, due to a lack of volunteers and increasing fees, the department cancelled the roast and instead auctioned off a .223 caliber tactical rifle. Other groups which hold feather parties, Monte Carlo nights and reverse raffles will also look for easier ways to fund their good deeds. 6) Ready, aim, stop: Lake Township officials have fielded a number of complaints from residents about shooting ranges near their homes. As more subdivisions are platted in what was farm country and as small arms weapons become more powerful, more townships will update zoning regulations to mirror their municipal neighbors. 7) Gluten-free: An estimated three million Americans suffer from celiac disease, an allergic reaction to gluten, an ingredient found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. There is no pharmacological cure so a gluten-free diet is the best option. Hirzel Canning Company & Farms of Northwood announced it is now offering a gluten-free condensed tomato soup in its Dei Fratelli line. More will follow. 8) Tougher DUI laws: The National Traffic Safety Transportation Board has called for a reduction in the blood alcohol content for a DUI charge from .08 to .05 per-
cent. This move comes despite the fact that alcohol-related deaths have plummeted from 26,173 in 1982 to 9,878 in 2011. The proposed limit is opposed by the restaurant and bar industry which contends having a drink or two with dinner would put most people over the limit. Ironically, it’s not the social drinker, but rather the chronic drinker that causes the most carnage on our roads. While this particular change in the law may be one step too far, look for other initiatives to come. 9) Read or else: Ohio’s Third Grade Reading Guarantee states third graders who don’t score a certain level on the state reading test cannot advance to fourth grade unless they are given special instructional aid to get them up to speed. This is a much needed change. Reading is the most indispensible skill for a successful career. 10) Solid home, bargain price: In 2007, the average realtor-listed home in East Toledo sold for $33,944. Today, the average home sells for $15,159. These depressed values have left many homeowners owing more than their home is worth and without any equity to secure a loan for improvements. There is a bright side, however. Some young people have relocated to East Toledo to capitalize on the bargain prices. You can still get a solid home with a lot of character for a price that would be the envy of urban dwellers in many other cities. Comment at zoz@presspublications. com
To succeed at any task, avoid using the back door It seems like a positive statement when someone announces they are going to give something a try. Isn’t their intention to attain a specific goal admirable? Doesn’t trying demonstrate a desire to succeed? In reality, trying is a back door to failure. After trying and failing, the phrase we then hear is, “Well, at least I gave it my best try.” A person taking this approach avoids feeling guilty as they might if no attempt was made. Then, after their failed bid, they give up on their objective as being unobtainable. Success requires unwavering determination and commitment. For successful people, failure is not an option. The problem with trying is that it is less than a full and total commitment. Trying is the equivalent of, “let’s see what happens.” Many things you attempt will not initially work out as planned. Those who give something a try give up at the first obstacle. For them, a setback is a roadblock. Failure is assured only when you give up. Success rarely occurs at the first attempt. Success requires adjusting as needed, knowledge, and experience. Rather than giving something a try, commit to doing it. Be willing to do whatever is necessary to reach your objective. This requires time and dedication. When something doesn’t work as expected, it’s a learning experience, not failure. Willpower is the force that propels
Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden you to your destination. You must turn setbacks into comebacks. When something doesn’t work, make an adjustment and move forward. Learn from experience. Avoid whatever didn’t work while repeating those things that did. The road to success is filled with naysayers. Critics abound who are eager to inform you as to why you will not, cannot, or should not be successful. They will offer an endless barrage of reasons for failure. Failure is assured when you take no for an answer. The reasons for allowing “no” to stop you are varied, but the result is always the same. Seeking acceptance is one motivation. The fear of being rejected compels you to take this bad advice. Concern about ridicule is another justification for taking no as an answer. Why risk being laughed at if you should fail? The reasoning is that it’s easier to play it safe rather than going out on a limb. Fear of criticism is a powerful driving force. We grow up seeking to please others. From a young age we learn the supposed
benefits of avoiding denunciation. Now that you know what pitfalls to avoid, here is the strategy utilized by successful people. Start with an understanding of what it is you really, really want. Your goal must be important to you. It has to be yours rather than imposed on you by someone else. You need to have a burning desire for its achievement. Next, tell your mind that you will achieve your objective. You will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, in order to be successful. Visualize what it will feel like once you are where you want to be. Obstacles, pitfalls, setbacks, disappointments, and problems are a normal part of the process. Don’t be deterred when they are encountered. Ignore the naysayers. They always find you. It doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do. Stay on your path, always keeping your objective in mind. An interesting side note is that as you become successful, your detractors will miraculously turn into supporters. Nothing succeeds like success. Success requires willpower, not try power. There is nothing to be achieved by giving up. Failure is not an option. There is always a way to reach your destination.

Opera house submits grant proposal for elevator By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Pemberville Opera House programming director Carol Bailey is on a mission. Bailey has been working to raise $330,000 for an elevator to help the disabled and elderly reach the upper floor of the Pemberville Town Hall. She says that as the opera house lovers age, support grows for an elevator. “As far as the elevator goes at the opera house, nothing has really gone anywhere with it since it was restored,� Bailey said. “I’ve been doing these (Live! in the House) shows now for the past six years, and I’ve been watching people having a harder and harder time getting up the stairs.� The gem of the historic town hall is its theatre, which is located on the second floor. During the height of the Oil Boom in 1891, construction began on the building with its own opera house on the second floor, originally completed at a cost under $6,000. Bailey recently finished submitting a grant proposal to the Ohio Arts Council, a state agency which biennially requests funds from the state legislature. “I submitted my request for $220,000, which is two-thirds, and I did that because I believe, number one, we can raise the $110,000, and number two, I believe things like this are much more appreciated if they know (funds can be matched).� The Ohio Arts Council celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2010 amidst serious challenges, including significant reductions in both budget and staff levels. Despite these reductions, the agency still awarded more than $10 million in grants to artists, arts organizations and schools, and provided support for more than 35 million arts experiences for Ohioans, which is enough to keep Bailey hopeful. Bailey’s request cleared two hurdles, but just before Christmas, she was told by State Rep. Tim Brown’s office that she needed letters of support. Bailey emailed about 70 residents on her opera house list, business owners representing the Pemberville Independent Merchants Association, and individuals involved with the opera house’s summer children’s theater. She needed the support letters early the next morning. “Mayor (Gordon) Bowman has been critical in informing both Tim Brown and (State Sen.) Randy Gardner and being my ‘official’ from Pemberville,� Bailey wrote. “He has helped me all along the way. And (Pemberville area resident and The Ability Center of Toledo grant writer) Dan Wilkins
Andes Manta, four brothers from the Ecuadoran Andes, brought an evening of traditional South American music to the Pemberville Opera House Nov. 9th. has been on board as well. Now it is your turn.� She was happy with the response, but warns residents that the money hasn’t been awarded yet. “I’m cautious. I don’t want to get people too excited,� Bailey said. “I think when we get closer to when it will be debated on the house floor, we might do an intensive contact and lobbying effort, but right now I’ve got about 25 emails and letters. I have people responding and all we can do now is wait.� She expects the funding to come up for vote in the state legislature in February or early March.
Three proposals Architect Scott J. Heacock originally came up with three design options to construct an elevator. Construction costs for each option are $228,000, $178,900, and $258,000 (Option 3). “All of the renderings are wonderful,� Todd Sheets, owner of Beeker’s General Store, told The Press. “The most expensive rendering does show that we would be able to add restrooms as part of that elevator, and then we would be able to add restrooms on the second story.� Option three would cost $300,000-plus with the upstairs restroom option, which is what the historical society is really after. “In our opinion, the only one that was really feasible that would help both the

that night, I ‘Googled’ it and I found it, and I found that essentially it was a biennial bill and it had closed about two weeks earlier on the first of November. “I thought, ‘Well, I’m stuck for two more years. I can’t go after that. We’ll just have to keep plowing along and do some major fundraising to help get this going,’� Bailey said. “In the meantime, about (five) weeks ago, I got an email from the Ohio Arts Council, essentially saying they wanted more arts projects included in this bill, and they wanted them submitted by the end of November, and I received this just short of Thanksgiving. So it was like, ‘I’ve got to get cracking.’ “So, I contacted Mayor Bowman, and he and I each took a copy of the questionnaire and we each wrote answers, and I sent it to Dan Wilkins and he sort of married the two answers, Mayor Bowman’s and mine, and I then I sent it onto my son, who wrote grants for the Cherry Street Mission, and I had him tweak it. “I submitted that, and then I got a call a week later where I had to submit other information and that changed the whole outlook a little bit,� Bailey said.

town hall, which is not really accessible, and the opera house, would be to put a tower on the brick street (Main Street) side of the opera house, so we’d have another entrance to the opera house, which isn’t a bad thing either because another access would be good,� Bailey said. “There are not a lot of plans available for that building, which way the beams run, etc., and if we put it inside we would lose so much floor space that we can’t really afford to lose,� Bailey continued. Construction could take up to a decade or more, says Sheets. “The elevator would be placed on the exterior of the opera house, but of course, it would be made to enhance the town hall,� Sheets said. “It wouldn’t take away from the historical value. That’s what we’re all about.� It wasn’t that long ago that Bailey had only about $7,000 raised for construction. Then, Ohio Arts Council regional program coordinator Kathy Cain visited for a November show, and that got the ball rolling. “She was here for a couple days, and we did programs at Lake Schools, a library program and opera house program,� said Bailey, who is also the Grand Rapids Town Hall programming director and Pemberville Free Fair entertainment chair. “I said to her, ‘You’ve got to help me find some money.’ And, she told me about the capital bill and essentially, I got home

What can a girl do? A world of good…and that good can start with a sweet, delicious cookie. It’s Girl Scout cookie time, and girls throughout the area are anxious to show off their entrepreneurial skills as they run their own cookie business. According to the Girl Scouts of the United States, the organization’s Cookie Program is the largest girl-run business in the world, which not only raises funds, but also empowers girls with strength, abilities and drive they’ll need to become confident, accomplished women. Through cookie sales, girls are presented with opportunities to learn goalsetting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics. The funds they raise help them earn their own way for activities and service projects they choose to do for the year. All Girl Scout Cookie Program proceeds stay in the community. Girls will begin taking orders Friday, Jan. 10.

Looking back at 2013
Szegedi, Cramer, Reynolds win NCAA, state championships One national championship and two state championships highlight the year 2013 in local sports. We can thank Oregon’s Dylan Szegedi, Oak Harbor’s Luke Cramer, and Gibsonburg’s Colleen Reynolds for those championships. 1. Oregon native Dylan Szegedi (St. Francis DeSales) wins an NCAA Division II diving championship, the first for Wayne State University. The 5-foot-9, 165 pound Szegedi, who is coached by Scott TenEyck, scored a school record 343 points in the finals to finish in first in the one-meter championship with a score of 526.7 points in Birgmingham, Ala. His final dive, an inward two-and-a-half tuck, clinched the victory. 2. Oak Harbor senior Luke Cramer wins a Division II 170 pound class state wrestling title, finishing the year 42-5 and earning a plague from Alan Miller Jewelers as The Press’ Most Outstanding Wrestler. 3. Gibsonburg sophomore Colleen Reynolds won the 400-meter dash at the Division III state track and field meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. Reynolds accomplished her goal, winning the 400 in a careerbest time of 56.57 seconds. Her previous best was the 57.66 she ran to win the regional title the Colleen Reynolds week before. 4. Super Bowls 2013 and 2014 have local flavor — Oregon based Maumee Bay Turf Center puts down the field turf for two consecutive Super Bowls. In 2012, MBTC installed the Speed S5-M synthetic turf system by UBU Sports at the Louisiana Super Dome, host of the 2013 Super Bowl between the Baltimore Ravens and San Fransisco 49ers. In 2013, the turf at New York’s MetLife Stadium was also installed by Maumee Bay Turf Center. 5. Natasha Howard (Waite), a 6-foot3 Florida State senior center, is on the 2013-14 Naismith watch list and has been nominated for numerous national awards, reached milestone after milestone at FSU, was invited to World University Games Team Trials, and as a junior was first team All-ACC last year. She became the 28th Seminole to reach the 1,000 point plateau in February. Former President G.W. Bush watched her and Baylor All-American Brittney Griner battle in an NCAA tournament game last year in Waco, Texas. 6. Derrick Vicars (Genoa) led the

University of Findlay track and field team on the final day of the NCAA Division II national championships, taking second in the shot put with a toss of 62 feet, 10 inches to earn All-American honors. His brother, Marcus Vicars, finished 11th in the event for UF with a distance of 55-5½. 7. Eastwood softball reaches the state final four, finishing the season 29-4 after losing to top-ranked Bloom-Carroll in the Division III state semifinal. The Eagles set a single-season school record for victories and defended their Northern Buckeye Conference championship. Ally Gabel was named the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Offensive Player of the Year. 8. Oak Harbor girls’ soccer reaches the D-III state final four — the 10th-ranked Rockets finish 19-2-1, losing in the state semifinals. Freshman Emma Barney is Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Player of the Year along with Jordyn Taylor (Lake), Courtney Niswander (Eastwood), and Kama Hardy (Cardinal Stritch Catholic), and Barney also earns second team AllOhio honors while coach Renee Goldstein is Ohio’s D-III Coach of the Year. 9. Waite’s historic football program celebrates 100th year on gridiron. In that century, Waite won two national championships (1924 and 1932), earning an invitation to the

White House after defeating Miami Senior (Fla.). But Waite’s last Toledo City League championship came 40 years ago (1963). During its heyday before World War II, the Waite team traveled across the country by train to play top programs from around the nation under legendary coaches such as Jack Mollenkopf and Don McAllister. 10. Northwood grad Jessica Grindle (Owens Community College) is chosen an NSCAA All-American soccer player as Owens reaches the national finals with majority of its roster made of players from high schools representing the Eastern Maumee Bay region (11 players from Clay, Eastwood, Lake, Woodmore, Oak Harbor, and Northwood). Grindle led the team in scoring with 23 goals and five assists as the Express finished 17-2-2, winning a program record 15 consecutive matches during one stretch and a regional tournament title. It is the first time an Owens athlete has been named an NSCAA All-American.

We should live each day as if it is going to be our last. Tomorrow is promised to no one, and so we really do not know when our last day might be. How would we live today differently if we knew it was going to be our last? What are we putting off that we would regret not saying or doing if we were to die this very day? In the United States, over 7000 people die every day. How many of them missed opportunities to live and love each day fully? Each and every day is special and irreplaceable, and comes with unique opportunities.

eek: Irreplaceable Days
All of the major religions of the world counsel us to contemplate our deaths, and this isn’t because there is a universal tendency toward morbidity, but rather because it is only against the backdrop of our mortality that the true value and meaning of our lives become apparent. None of us will live forever, but those of us who recognize the brevity of life will savor its joys and even its sorrows more than those who do not. So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. R.S.V. Psalm 90:12

Comet heavies combine for quarter ton, 27-1 record By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Heavyweights Cody Buckner and Louis Cutchall are good friends and workout partners in the Genoa wrestling team’s practice room. Buckner stands 6-1 and weighs 280 pounds. Cutchall is 6-2 and 285 pounds and still cutting his weight down from over 290 after suffering a knee injury during football season. “I had a hard time cutting weight a little bit,” Cutchall said. “I’m good to go now.” Both individuals are talented and very driven to succeed on the mat. The Comets’ behemoths have a combined 27-1 record, with Buckner, a senior, going 5-0 and Cutchall, a junior, going 4-0 at last weekend’s 10-team Northcoast Holiday Duals tournament at Genoa. Coach Bob Bergman, whose Comets went 9-0 at the duals tourney, said he is blessed to have two talented competitors in the heavyweight division. “Both of them are incredibly unselfish,” Bergman said. “It’s a great way to keep a one-two punch, like a tag team. We compete in a lot of duals and they pretty much alternate. These two are workout partners and they lift together. They do a lot together.” Bergman said the two complement each other in certain ways on the mat. “Louis is really good on top,” he said, “and Cody is really good on his feet. They make each other better in each area. There’s no letdown at all when either one of them wrestles. Every tournament we’ve been to, they’ve both dominated.” Buckner has a 20-1 record – his only loss is to Oak Harbor’s T.J. Lawrence – and Cutchall is 7-0. Buckner, a three-year starter, placed second at last year’s Northern Buckeye Conference tournament and went on to win a sectional crown and advanced to the state tournament. He went 1-2 in Columbus and finished with a 33-11 overall record. “Cody really committed himself after making state last year,” Bergman said. “He got motivated in the weight room. He’s pretty strong for a heavyweight. That’s what he really commits himself to in the offseason.” Buckner said being unable to reach the awards podium at state last year “made me want to get better.” “I should be a placer this year and be on top of the podium,” he said. “I was upset last year that I came that far and didn’t make it to the podium. I’ve got to have better technique and work on my cardio so I can last longer in the periods.” Cutchall, who compiled an 18-5 record a year ago, could have been the one competing for a spot at the state tournament if not for one person – Cody Buckner. Buckner won a wrestle-off against Cutchall prior to the NBC tournament, so Buckner got to compete in the conference tournament and represent Genoa at the sectional, district and state level. “Cody has credentials, but Louis is every bit as good,” Bergman said. “They are so unselfish. They are whatever-the-teamneeds types of guys, and that’s very rare.” Cutchall holds no grudges against Buckner for beating him in that all-or-nothing wrestle-off last season. Quite the contrary.

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos. smugmug. com) “Me and Cody are pretty close,” Cutchall said. “I’ve wrestled with him for about five years now and we definitely encourage each other to work hard, and we push each other in the (practice) room. We’re definitely there to support each other and give tips to each other on what we see in each other’s match. I definitely think I helped push him to get to state.” Buckner said he considers Cutchall to be one of his own family. “He’s like a brother to me,” Buckner said. “Without him, I don’t think I would have gotten to state. He makes me a better wrestler. He shows me what I can work on and get better at. We work on stuff we need to work on.” Buckner said he has improved his strength and conditioning by lifting weights and attending wrestling camps over the summer. He went 5-1 at an all-star camp in Pittsburgh, and he also attended local wrestling camps. Cutchall said offseason work has also helped him improve, and he credited Buckner for keeping him prepared from week to week during the season. “He pushes me in the room to the max,” Cutchall said. “He gets everything out of me. He gets me prepared for kids who might be stronger than me, and he gives me good technique to use against them.” Several weeks from now, Buckner and Cutchall will have another wrestle-off, to see which one of them will carry the heavyweight banner for Genoa into the postseason. Buckner said he thinks about that scenario all the time. “I think about it a lot,” he said. “That’s a hard part. Usually when we wrestle off, we hug it out (afterwards) and talk about how we did and we wish the best for one another.” Cutchall said he keeps that eventual wrestle-off in the back of his mind when the two are practicing. “Mentally, I’m putting the wrestle-off together in my head so I can keep it stored up,” Cutchall said. “I’ll hold a little back

but I’d also like to go to state. That’s my dream.”

The Press Box Strike Zone Sports Training opens at Great Eastern Strike Zone Sports Training co-owner Garry Isbell said he has always dreamed of opening a sports training facility, and now that dream is coming to fruition. Strike Zone, an 18,500-square-foot facility located in the Great Eastern Shopping Plaza (2660 Woodville Rd.), hosted a grand opening on Jan. 4. “We’re excited,” Isbell said. “I’ve always wanted to do this and I never thought it would be possible, and it’s going to happen. It’s an exciting opportunity - hopefully one to remember for years to come - and an opportunity for the community of Northwood and surrounding communities.” Isbell is the co-owner of Strike Zone along with Karl Knierim and Rod Achter. Isbell and Knierim are former Clay baseball coaches, and Achter coached basketball, baseball and football at Clay. Isbell replaced Knierim, who guided the Eagles’ baseball program for 13 years, at Clay in 2010 but resigned after the 2013 season in order to pursue his dream of opening a sports instruction clinic. “Rod and Karl have been my two (baseball) assistants, and I coached football with Rod for 10 years at Clay,” Isbell said. “He’s wanted to do this, too. He was going to manage the store when Karl and I couldn’t be there. After crunching numbers, we felt it would be more beneficial for him to come in (as an owner), so we did it.” Strike Zone will feature more than 10,000 feet of artificial turf, installed by Maumee Bay Turf Center of Oregon. The facility houses six batting tunnels, three pitching lanes and an open area for infield and outfield defensive drills. It has a full weight room, a pro shop and full-scale artificially turfed locker rooms that resemble a baseball field. The best feature, however, is the level of instruction that will be made available for local youth athletes. Isbell and Knierim will offer the main instruction for baseball, while Clay grad Molly Berry will give instruction for softball. Berry was an All-Ohio performer at Clay and an all-conference softball player

Former Clay and Michigan State standout pitcher A.J. Achter, who is in the Minnesota Twins farm system, and John Niese, a Defiance native who was the No. 2 starter for the New York Mets last season, will host a two-week pitching camp beginning Jan. 25 for ages 8-18. Rod Achter, Isbell and former Clay football coach Mike Donnelly are Strike Zone’s football instructors. Rod Achter was a wide receiver at the University of Toledo and briefly played in the NFL with Minnesota and Cincinnati. “We will have other instructors who will be here based on availability,” Isbell said. “All of the instructors have extreme
professionalism, and there is over 70 years of combined teaching and coaching in the baseball world. Nothing on the East Side or Northwest Ohio has anything close to what we have to offer, and our prices are extremely competitive. All of our instructors are highly qualified. We don’t have anyone who has played at less than the Division I college level.” For more information, visit www.szsportstraining.com. ( — Press contributing writer Mark Griffin)

Bowen and son keep Flyers unbeaten through holiday By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
“
The team is off to a great start.
“
It’s become common place seeing Lake’s high-powered offense lighting up the scoreboard with big numbers, and this year is no different. Behind a well-balanced scoring attack, a stout defense and clutch shooting, Lake has opened up the season with an 8-0 record and a 4-0 mark in the Northern Buckeye Conference and is positioning itself for another great run. For the most part, the Flyers have been dominant, winning games by convincing margins. Six of Lake’s wins have come by at least 18 points, but the Flyers have had some close calls, too. In their fourth game of the year, the Flyers rallied from a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter and defeated Eastwood, 52-49, taking a two-point lead on a threepointer by freshman Jake Rettig with 3.2 seconds remaining to narrowly avoid the defeat. More recently, Lake defeated Bryan, 67-64, in the Lake Holiday Tournament championship behind 35 points from junior point guard Connor Bowen. The Flyers, which trailed by 12 midway through the third quarter, rallied to take their first lead with just over six minutes remaining before holding on for the victory. “The team is off to a great start,” said coach Ryan Bowen, now in his fourth year leading the program. “Those wins (over Eastwood and Bryan) were great characterbuilders for our team. The boys have bought into their roles quickly and are working together nicely. This is a very unselfish group that really cares about winning over all else. The boys hate to lose and will give everything they have to get a win.” With a starting lineup that employs four guards, Bowen (6-0) runs the point with junior Jared Rettig (6-2), sophomore Brandyn Neal (6-0) senior Cody Witt (511) filling in at the other guard spots. Todd Walters, a 6-3 junior, rounds out the starting five at forward and Jake Rettig (6-0), a freshman, and sophomores Aaron Witt (59) and Adam Duncan (5-10) are the primary subs off the bench. Bowen, a first-team NBC selection last year, leads the team with an average of 19.5 points, 9.8 assists and 6.7 rebounds with Jared Rettig (15.7 ppg, 8.5 rpg) right behind him. Neal, who transferred back to Lake this year, is averaging 10.7 points and 4.2 rebounds, Witt is helping to pace the attack with 9.1 points and Walters (7.5 ppg, 4.0 rpg) and Jake Rettig (7.5 ppg) are tied for fifth on the team in scoring. Bowen a three-year starter at point guard for the Flyers, has command of the offense. He knows when to look for his

(Photo by Innovations Portrait Studio/InnovationsVisualImpact.com) teammates but is also capable of scoring on his own, both with the outside shot and because of his ability to drive to the basket and create. In addition to putting up 35 points in the Flyers’ win over Bryan, Bowen also set a single-game school record this season with 16 assists in the holiday tournament’s 98-42 semifinal win over Seneca East. “Connor has been tremendous for us so far this season,” Coach Bowen said. “He is an extension of our coaching staff on the court; he makes things easy for us coaches. He brings an enormous amount of energy every practice and is our guy to run all of our offenses. His experience over his freshman and sophomore years is definitely paying off.”
This year, the Flyers also put up 101 points on Genoa and 118 in a game last season. They scored at least 87 points three times two years ago. But Bowen says he has gotten his teams to be successful because of his commitment to getting the kids to buy into playing hard-nosed defense. “We really harp on the kids to have our defense be our offense,” Bowen said. “If we can get steals and rebound well, we can push the ball for open-court scores. We like to have a lot of possessions every game, so our defense has to work hard to get stops. And the kids have really found out that to be successful on the defensive end, it has to be a five-man effort. We have a smart group of players and will play multiple defenses, sometimes on the fly, and
they adjust well.” The eason hasn’t been without its challenges. Gone from last year are guard Ben Swartz and two key post players, Marcus Pierce (6-5) and Jayce Vancena (6-5). Swartz and Pierce graduated and Vancena, a senior, has already signed to play baseball at the University of Michigan next year and is focusing on that sport. Saturday, Lake was to travel to Old Fort, which is 7-1 and features Hunter Perry, one of the best players in Northwest Ohio, and then faces Rossford (6-3, 4-0) in a battle between the league’s top teams. Both the Flyers and the Bulldogs, who are undefeated in the NBC, were picked to finish atop the conference before the season began. In the last two years, the Flyers have established themselves as a premier team in the NBC. In the 2011-12 season, NBC Player of the Year Rashad Smith (19.2 ppg) and Josh Tantari led the club to a 17-6 record, a share of the inaugural NBC title and advanced to the Division III district finals. Last year, Bowen, Vancena, Pierce and company went 19-4 and just missed winning their second straight league title, falling to Eastwood, 61-60, in the final game of the regular season. Lake’s record over the last two and a half years is a combined 4410 (.815) and 26-6 in the conference, tops in the NBC. And like any successful program, Bowen has helped to build a strong foundation that consistently churns out talented, capable athletes. “It’s been easy for us so far to transition from year to year with the talent we have been blessed with,” Bowen said. “Every year we take the kids down south to a summer camp that is very intense and it’s a great way for our team to bond. If you’re not tough, you will struggle. And our kids have bought into that, and we feel they really look forward to competing in (the camp). The first year, we brought nine kids down, and the number continues to grow: we had 24 kids attend this year. “And we’ve had a lot of success with our middle-school teams, placing a team in the championship game for four straight years. So we have some really good coaches working hard for us, understanding what we want accomplished at the younger levels. I have been lucky to have such great coaches to work with since I became head coach.” In addition to having a successful basketball program that is competing in a new facility at Flyer Field House, Lake is currently experiencing a successful run in regard to another major sport. In addition to having one of the state’s better baseball programs, the football team, under coach Mark Emans, turned around its fortunes, going 8-3 and qualifying for the playoffs.
Shroyer’s 217 average leads Clay High School’s ‘Green Team’ Clay’s Green Team finished second in the 16-team Toledo Metro Bowling League after the league’s first 10-week session. Another winner will be crowned following the second 10-week session, which ends Jan. 4 at Southwyck Lanes. The third session is followed by a four-team playoff, which begins after the conclusion of the regular season on March 14. The Green Team finished second behind Bowsher after the first 10 weeks and consists of senior David Scott, junior Austin VanNest, Kagen Schroyer, a senior from Bedford High, and freshman Jacob Koles. Clay, a club bowling program coached by Ron Koles, has two varsity teams and one junior varsity team. Clay’s Gold Team, consisting of senior sisters Harleigh and Cooper Isbell and Bedford senior Spencer Sevrence, is also

When you bowl with better bowlers, you tend to do better.

having a good season. Because the Gold has three members instead of four, it will receive a “vacancy” score of 160 at the end of the season. The Gold placed fifth after the first 10-week session. “I’m thinking the Gold Team will probably be a wild card (in the playoffs),” coach Koles said. “The Green Team will be one of

the top four (qualifiers). We have a chance to win this second session. We’re only three points behind Bowsher after (last Saturday), after we beat Maumee 18-9.” The Green Team faced Bowsher in the first-session finals and lost by 10 points, using a point system. Shroyer carries a 217 average to lead Clay’s Green Team, followed by Scott (202), Jacob Koles (183) and Van Nest (181). “Austin has probably had the biggest improvement this season,” coach Koles said. “He’s been with me since he was a freshman. He only averaged 130 as a freshman; three years later he’s improved his average a good 40-50 pins. When you bowl with better bowlers, you tend to do better. The varsity division is a lot better than the junior varsity division.” Coach Koles said his son Jacob, who is left-handed, has raised his average 20-25 pins this season. “He’s improved,” Ron Koles said. “He doesn’t want to do bad because he knows his dad will be on his case.”

Coach Koles said Scott, who has a “real high backswing and really hooks the ball,” needs to work on his consistency. “He’s more controlled than he has been in the past,” Koles said. “I think he should be around 217 average-wise. He throws a lot of balls, but he’s been kind of inconsistent up until this year. If he practiced on being more consistent, he’d be a lot better.” Schroyer is the Green Team’s most consistent bowler, according to Koles. “Kagen’s had that (217) average for the past couple years,” he said. “He’s the guy you want throwing last, because you know he’s going to throw a strike. He’s consistent. He has a standard game, but he can hook it if he wants to. He’s got a good game.” Sevrence has a team-best 205 average on the Gold Team, followed by Harleigh Isbell (197) and Cooper Isbell (183). “Spencer is more or less like David Scott,” Koles said. “He hooks the ball a lot. He holds the City record for a youth bowler at Jugs, with an 868 series, last year in the Traveling League.”

The Danberry Treasure Chest, a nonprofit emergency assistance fund administered by the Toledo Children’s Hospital Foundation, raised more than $67,000 in contributions in 2013. The Toledo real estate company, through its annual dinner auction and a combination of smaller fund raisers, has raised $500,000 in Treasure Chest contributions since its inception. This has enabled the fund to assist more than 670 families in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan during the past 19 years. So far in 2013 the Fund has help 64 families. Of special note and recognition this year was the Toledo Hospital Facilities Department’s contribution of $6,500 and a $4,000 donation from the employees at Johnson Controls in Holland. “It is incredible that these groups of employees held their own fund raisers to donate to the Treasure Chest. They see the need for a special fund like this and they see the impact it has on the children and their families in times of need,” said Dick Baker, Danberry’s President, in a company release. Danberry serves Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan with six offices including one in Oregon and 240 agents and staff. To find out more about the Treasure Chest Fund visit www.danberry.com.
