Serving The Eastern Maumee Bay Communities Since 1972

After 20 years

Maumee Bay is starting to freeze up By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, who is also Western Lake Erie Waterkeeper, said winter activities on Maumee Bay once enjoyed by residents are now returning, thanks to cooler temperatures and less heated water being discharged from FirstEnergy’s power plant on Bay Shore Road. “Most of the Oregon shoreline along Maumee Bay is freezing - at least for now. What a treat,” said Bihn. “We may be able to once again skate, ice fish, etc.” When Bihn’s family moved to their current home on Bay Shore Road in 1987, the ice on the bay was thick. “We were able to go out on the ice and walk along the shoreline on ice. It was great,” she said. “But all of a sudden, we couldn’t do it anymore.” Bihn said in the 1990s, Maumee Bay stopped freezing over. “I called many people and asked why and was told any number of supposed reasons, but no one mentioned the Bay Shore power plant,” said Bihn. The plant, located on the south shore of Lake Erie, near the confluence of the Maumee River and Maumee Bay in Oregon, had added another unit and increased the amount of water it used by about 200 million gallons a day. Many power plants use water for cooling. The water that is discharged from the Bay Shore plant, often referred to as a “thermal plume,” is about 10 degrees warmer than the water taken in, according to Bihn. “For nearly 20 years, I watched the so called ‘thermal plume’ keep the waters from freezing, from the plant to Maumee Bay State Park - over two miles in distance. Going out on the ice was unsafe,” said Bihn. The Bay Shore plant, which at one time used up to 750 million gallons of water per day, has closed three of its four units, due to FirstEnergy’s announcement earlier last year that it would close several power plants because of air emission standards

Group challenges license extension

Davis-Besse opponents to press on By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublicaitons.com A coalition of environmental groups vowed to continue its challenge to an operating license extension for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station after a federal board ruled against two of their motions. The coalition of Beyond Nuclear, Citizens Environmental Alliance of Southwestern Ontario, Don’t Waste Michigan, and the Green Party of Ohio has contended that a shield building where cracks have been found is vulnerable to additional stress, contrary to analysis of the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co., which is applying to the Atomic Safety Licensing Board for a 20year license extension. The current license is scheduled to expire in 2017. The board late last month approved a FENOC motion to dismiss the coalition’s challenge to what is called the Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives analyses the company conducted. In particular, the coalition questioned the company’s reliance on a computer code, Modular Accident Analysis Program, that nuclear plant operators use to simulate various scenarios.

“We conclude that FENOC’s use of the MAAP code to generate fission product source terms for use in the Davis-Besse SAMA analysis is reasonable…” the licensing board wrote in its decision. Terry Lodge, an attorney representing the coalition, said the company’s use of the code doesn’t adequately reflect the condition of the containment building. “In dismissing our SAMA contention, Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff and the Atomic Safety Licensing Board have embraced FENOC’s assumption, built into its computer modeling, that Davis-Besse’s containment will function as designed,” Lodge said. “But this is impossible, for the shield building is severely cracked, and could well fail due to any small added stress, such as a mild earthquake, tornado, or hear and pressure build-up from a reactor meltdown, This is not over. We will continue tracking NRC’s interactions with FENOC about the cracks.” FENOC issued a report last February that cited the absence of an exterior weather proof coating on the concrete building as a factor in the cracking, allowing moisture to migrate into the concrete and then freeze and expand. The extreme weather conditions of the 1978 blizzard contributed to the problem,

the report said. The cracking was discovered in October 2011 when the power station was shut down as scheduled for a new reactor vessel head, The company initially described the problem as a “sub-surface hairline crack” discovered while workers were cutting into the side of the building to remove the old reactor head. The building is made of 2 ½ feet-thick reinforced concrete and is designed to protect the steel containment vessel. There is a space of about 4 ½ feet between the shield building and the containment vessel. Michael Keegan, of Don’t Waste Michigan, described the company’s blizzard analysis as a “snow job.” “The weather sealant whitewash applied four decades now prevents independent inspection of the multiple surface cracks,” he said. The licensing board also rejected the coalition’s contention that a planned replacement in two years of a steam generator poses additional risk of more cracking, calling it “mere speculation.” FirstEnergy retained independent contractors it considered experts to conduct an analysis of the cracking problem. Inspectors from the NRC also were involved in the analysis.

Maumee Bay starting to freeze up Continued from front page imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency. As a result, the Bay Shore plant has reduced its daily water usage by over 500 million gallons a day, said Bihn. And that, she believes, has allowed the bay to freeze over once again. “About 500 million gallons of water less per day are being used in 2013 than in 1987,” said Bihn. Less water use also means less fish kills, she added, “over hundreds of millions less.” Bihn is referring to the plant’s cooling water intake system, which, according to studies, has killed millions of fish, fish larvae and eggs. It has long been a controversial topic to environmentalists because the fish, according to Bihn, come from the warmest, shallowest, and most biologically productive waters of the Great Lakes.

We may be able to once again skate, ice fish...

The Ohio EPA for years reviewed options for the Bay Shore power plant to reduce the fish kills. The plant agreed in 2010 to install devices called “reverse louvers” to address the problem, though Bihn believed that the installation of the more expensive cooling towers would have been more effective. A new power plant, which will break ground in Oregon in May on 30 acres of land just south of the BP Husky Refinery,

between Wynn and Lallendorf roads, will help fill the gap being left by the phase out of the coal fired Bay Shore power plant. But the new gas fired plant, which will convert natural gas to electricity, is not expected to have the same impact that the Bay Shore plant had on fish, said Bihn, because it will use less water. Bihn plans to take a walk on the frozen bay soon, she said. “We should be able to enjoy a frozen Oregon Maumee Bay shore line this winter - if it is cold enough,” she said. She warned the public to check the ice and make sure it’s frozen solid before walking on it. “If you want to venture out on the ice, please be careful that the ice is thick enough and safe. Hopefully there will be ‘safe ice’ allowing ice fishing and ice skating once more at Oregon on the bay,” she said.

Emergency plan

Parents asked to change their thinking By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Cari Buehler is asking for about 45 minutes of time from residents of the Genoa School District – parents of students in particular. The assistant principal of Genoa High School is confident the emergency response training that district personnel have undergone can be utilized in situations other than schools, including retail outlets, movie theaters, and others. Buehler is the lead administrator in the district to be trained in the ALICE – Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate emergency response program. A former teacher and mother of four children, including three enrolled in Genoa schools, Buehler is convinced the more the community is aware of AWARE principles the better it would be prepared to respond to a tragic situation such as what occurred last month in Newtown, Connecticut. “I spent about a year and a half researching ALICE. Who was using it,” Buehler said. “We decided to take some time

and look into it and decided it was in everyone’s best interest to know about what we’re doing. We want community members to know what ALICE covers.” The district has scheduled its second informational session to explain the program to the community for Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. A session held in the fall was attended by about 50 or so residents. District officials decided to hold another meeting after the shootings in Connecticut. In some emergency situations, it’s possible, says Buehler, some students may be told to flee their building while others may remain under lockdown. “We’ve gotten a lot of great feedback from our first session,” she said. “But some residents have had questions like, ‘Do you want students running down Genoa Clay Center Road?’ We’re asking people to change their way of thinking. The great thing about ALICE is you make it work for your district.” The more informed parents are of the district’s response plan for a crisis situation, the better, Buehler said. “Once police get on the scene no one would probably get

Memorial trees offered An offer by a former Lake Township trustee to purchase a tree and have it planted as a memorial to the students killed in Connecticut was well received by the board of trustees Wednesday. The offer by John Welch was quickly approved by the trustees, Melanie Bowen, Richard Welling, and Ron Sims, who then offered to each purchase a tree. Bowen recommended a tree be planted on township property along East Broadway that may be developed into a park and at the township’s parks. Police Chief Mark Hummer said the township police association would also contribute for a tree.

Sewer project on Wheeling may cause disruptions By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project Phase 2 in Oregon may cause some disruptions on Wheeling Street next week, according to Oregon Public Service Director Paul Roman. The project consists of rehabilitating local and trunk sanitary sewers to reduce inflo/infiltration into the city’s sanitary sewer system. Part of the project includes lining the inside of existing sanitary sewers and manholes on Wheeling Street, between Navarre Avenue and Bleeker Street, and Pickle Road, between Grasser Street and Wheeling Street. The lining work will involve cleaning, inspecting, and lining of the existing sanitary sewer and adjacent manholes within the existing right of way. “We really don’t have slowdowns in the winter anymore,” Roman said about infrastructure projects at the last council meeting in December. “The last five years have always been pretty busy.” Part of the project that involves lining the trunk sewer on Wheeling Street is scheduled to begin on January 7, said Roman. “We will put out a public notice to the residents of Wheeling informing them of the work and instructing them on anything that may affect them,” said Roman. “We’ll also try and put out information on solar boards and message boards on what’s to be expected.” The contractor will need to install temporary bypass pumps and above ground piping during the lining process, according to Roman. “The biggest issue with this work is that it will involve bypass pumping, in which there will be a large 12-inch discharge line that will have to be laid out along the west side of Wheeling Street, from Navarre to Starr,” said Roman. The work will last between three to four weeks, he added. “It will drastically affect residents on the west side of Wheeling. There will be road closures involved, certainly a lane restriction on Navarre at different times. There will be a ramp for Starr Avenue, a rectangular conduit. But we will have the proper warning beacons as well as signs prior to the work. It will be noticed. I guarantee it,” said Roman. The contractor for the project is Underground Utilities, Inc., Monroeville, Ohio. Inland Waters Pollution Control, Inc., Detroit, is a sub-contractor to Underground Utilities, Inc. The city has hired Quality Control Inspection, Inc., Bedford, Ohio, to provide a project representative/inspector who will be available on site to address any concerns during construction. The project is being funded through the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) State Issue 2 program and the Ohio EPA Water Supply Revolving Loan Program.

East Toledo

Director of land bank to talk about demolitions Cindy Geronimo, executive director of the Lucas County Land Bank, will speak at the East Toledo Senior Center Thursday, Jan. 17 at 12:30 p.m. The event is sponsored by the East Toledo Club and is open to the public. The land bank acquires and sells foreclosed tax delinquent properties without going through the long court process leading to a sheriff’s sale. In July this year, the land bank was awarded a $3.6 million grant from the Ohio Attorney General. With matching funds from the City of Toledo, the land bank has $6.8 million available through December 2013. This funding will help increase the pace of demolitions of dilapidated housing. There are 93 East Toledo properties on the demolition list. To see a map, search the web for Lucas County Land Bank. Geronimo will talk about the location of these demolitions, how to get a house on the list and how to acquire the vacant land for use as a side lot or a community garden. Prior to taking the position with the land bank, Geronimo had worked for Lucas County for 16 years, as a Civil Bailiff for the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, the Chief Deputy Recorder in the Lucas County Recorder’s Office and Director of Real Estate in the Lucas County Auditor’s Office. She also served as both a guardsman and civil service technician in the Ohio Air National Guard where she was a Logistics Special-

Workplace ist for the 180th Fighter Wing in Swanton, Ohio. The public is also invited to lunch which starts at noon and costs $6 for a sub, chips and a beverage. RSVP for lunch to 419-691-1429. The senior center is located at 1001 White St.

Each year, Genoa Retirement Village, along with their sister health campuses across a five-state area, participates in an annual fundraiser called Hope for the Holidays. In addition, the campus also participates in an annual companywide fundraising event each summer called Independence from Hunger. This year, Genoa Retirement Village donated over $4,000 of food and cash to the Genoa Area Food Pantry.

Ottawa County

New 9-1-1 system expected to be operating this month By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to the Suburban Press A major upgrade of Ottawa County’s 9-1-1 emergency system is expected to go online sometime in January. “It’s being built as we speak,” said Sgt. James Lucas, head of the communications division of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office. “I will travel to Michigan in a couple of weeks to check it out.” The new system is being assembled by Cassidian Communications, a company that specializes in emergency management technology, at a Michigan site. Their work is being assisted by Frontier, Time Warner and Advanced Wireless Technologies. “They’ll set it up there and do the testing there on site,” Lucas explained. When the bugs are worked out, the new system will be transported back to the communications station on the third floor of the Ottawa County Courthouse. There should be little to no disruption in the local 9-1-1 service during the transition. “As I understand it, it will run parallel to the old system for a while,” until final approval is given for the solitary launch, Lucas said. Expectations were high that the system would be ready by mid to late December, but that did not happen. Lucas is confident, based on recent progress reports, that the system will be in place before January’s end. The upgrade will vastly improve service for residents across Ottawa County, Sheriff Steve Levorchick said in a previous

interview. The 9-1-1 committee pushed for the 15-year-old system’s replacement given the equipment is nearing its reliable shelf life, he explained. Wood County will also continue to play a major role in the local 9-1-1 service. More than five years ago, Ottawa County, under the direction of former Sheriff Robert Bratton, forged a partnership with Wood County that tied their 9-1-1 emergency systems together and introduced a back up option. The improved system, equipment included, will be shared with Wood County,

according to Sheriff Levorchick. The $680,000 bill will be covered by the two counties. Ottawa County’s portion is $160,000. Wood County carries the larger share of the cost because its network is larger and services municipalities such as Bowling Green and Perrysburg. Local residents won’t have to shell out any cash for the upgrade either. Ottawa County’s share comes from a fund accumulated from a 9-1-1 service charge collected on cell phone bills, according to Lucas.

Your Voice on the Street: by Laura Norden What was your New Years’ Resolution for 2013?

The Press Poll Do you support banning assault weapons in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings? Yes No To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com

Chelsey Hawkins Hairdresser Walbridge “To stay positive.”

Crystal Bacon Dietary Worker Toledo “To not get down on myself. I get down on myself a lot.”

Nicole Maker Pizza Girl Curtice “To make sure everybody in my family is happy.”

Brian Michalak Boilermaker Reno Beach “To save more money and be a better father.”

Kevin Schrimsher Sun Oil Oregon “To exercise more.”

Last Week's Results Do you think President Obama and Congress will compromise to avoid the ﬁscal cliff? 99% Yes. 1,290 votes 1% No 20 votes

Let’s give the last word of 2012 to those who made the pages of The Press Let’s give the last word of 2012 to those who made the pages of The Press. “Property crimes, I know to you, are important. I’ve got homicides I can’t solve because people won’t tell me what’s going on in the neighborhoods. We have drug dealings everywhere…If you see it happening, you’ve got to report it. “I’ve got a manpower problem and I’ve got to utilize the manpower the best I can. Don’t wait until the next community meeting to talk to the police officers about what is going in your neighborhood. Tell them about it now.” Derrick Diggs, Toledo Police chief, speaking to a group of Birmingham Neighborhood residents. *** “When we had these 18 colleges all kind of floating around, they were like PT Boats, they were shooting each other. It was kind of like the Polish army or something.” E. Gordon Gee, president, The Ohio State University, attempting to explain the difficulty in coordinating OSU’s 18 colleges. *** “I just decided for me personally there was no doubt in my mind that I would rather be on the front end trying to help somebody than being the guy that comes and sees this child (a 13-year-old boy who hung himself). If this child had one positive influence, perhaps they would have gone to that person instead of taking such a desperate step. For me personally, that was my conviction, and once I realized that, there was no stopping me.” Nathan Wolf, pastor of Echo Meadows Church of Christ in Oregon, on why he quit the Anchorage, Alaska police force to become a minister. *** “When you come from an abusive family, you don’t know anything about unconditional love. That’s the one thing animals are really good at. They will love you no matter what. As long as you treat them well, they will be your devoted friends for life.” Kelly Meister, Walbridge’s Critter Lady, on her love of animals. *** “In three years, when we’re cutting all these teachers’ jobs and bus drivers’ jobs, and we’re cutting everyone to pieces again, we’re all going to forget about today. This is definitely something that should have been discussed by this board ahead of time to give our residents, who we work for, the right to ask questions. This is exactly what’s wrong with this board. I’m adamantly against locking our district into millions of dollars in contracts, knowing we’re going to be in negative money.” P.J. Kapfhammer, Oregon City Schools’ board member, on the board voting 3-2 to renew administrator contracts one and half years early. *** “How we got it in our contracts where we’re paying an administrator to go watch his kid’s basketball game? Take one for the team, guys. Don’t submit miles for it. If we’re really going broke…if it’s this dire, before we talk levies, before we stick it to the community, I would love to sit down and see how we could save money as a board, so the community doesn’t have to give as much.”

Page Two

by John Szozda P.J. Kapfhammer, Oregon school board member, criticizing the board for paying mileage to an administrator who attended his child’s basketball game. *** “You might as well have a Christmas club account as opposed to buying a maternity coverage plan. The new plans are going to be mandated to have that (maternity benefits)… It’s going to make it unaffordable. They are going to stay on Mom and Dad’s insurance until they’re 26 or 28. Then, they’re going to go to COBRA…It’s going to be more advantageous for them to not get married… That’s the way they’re going to get that maternity and childbirth covered...So they’re going to find the guy of their dreams, move in with the guy of their dreams while staying on Mommy and Daddy’s policy. They’re going to have their children. They’re going to on COBRA because now they can take the man of their dreams, put them on COBRA and stay on Mom and Dad’s policy for three more years because they are aging out, so now we have a 31-year-old on Mommy and Daddy’s policy in the State of Ohio.” Barbara Sears, Republican assistant majority floor leader for the Ohio House of Representatives on one potential effect of the Affordable Care Act. *** “I was involved in a lot of different (organizations) at Woodmore. It made me betterrounded. I think growing up at Woodmore High was wonderful for my life journey, especially in a small school (where) the student body is involved in a lot of different things.” Jon Waters, director of the Ohio State Marching Band, The Best Damn Band in the Land. *** “All right I’m going to eat my burger. And, everybody just pretend like I’m not here.” President Barack Obama, talking to diners at Kozy Corners Restaurant in Oak Harbor where he stopped by for a surprise visit on his way from Maumee to Sandusky. *** “The Asian Carp would gobble up the food that walleye, yellow perch and bass eat. Without food, these key sport fish would rapidly dwindle. The silver carp like the sound of boat motors and leap when they hear them. In the Mississippi (River), boaters wear helmets to avoid getting hit by the flying fish. While it would probably take decades for the Asian Carp to have this devastating impact, once and if the Asian Carp establish in Lake Erie, the flying fish would pose a threat to Lake Erie boaters.” Sandy Bihn, executive director for Lake Erie Waterkeeper and Oregon councilperson, on hearing Asian Carp DNA was found in Lake Erie. ***

United States — if we go to a big war do you think China and some of these Asian companies are going to ship us parts and help us fight? During World War II, most of the wives and women ran the tool shops, die shops, and machine shops to make military parts for the war. Well, if we don’t have any shops here, what would we do?” Paul Faykosh, owner of Centaur Tool & Die in Bowling Green, commenting on losing tool and die and manufacturing shops in America. *** “They are almost like performers, and I don’t think it contributes to the dialogue like we are having right here. It is dissatisfying to the American people and they are spending all this money. Ohioans should have questions answered about Ohio, rather than listening to all these canned speeches both sides give. Marcy Kaptur, U.S. Congressman, on the 2012 presidential election. *** “It was not a great location, but it was not in the condition it is in today. We never had a huge return at that location, although it helped our financial performance. Frankly, somebody has to pay for all of this stuff. There is not the demographic density to make sense of keeping a location open there.” Dan Anderson, president of The Andersons Retail Group, on pulling out of the Eastern Maumee Bay market after 24 years. *** “The Andersons were there because the mall owners gave them the spot cheaply-$10,000 per month in rent--to help draw people to the mall itself. I don’t think anybody could have done anything. There is no one to blame. When it opened, it was stateof-the-art and a hopping place. Then the mall became obsolete.” Mike Seferian, Oregon mayor, *** “The demographics are not there yet. We can’t go from a city of 20,000 to 40,000 overnight. We don’t want them to come to Oregon and not be successful. We don’t want a store to come in and fail. We want stores like Kohl’s and Target to come when they can be successful here. We could not afford to have them close up. We have to be in shape to handle what comes our way. The stores would also strain city services. With-

Sad thing is this side of the river didn’t give up on Andersons, but they sure gave up on us. Poor management of the Woodville Mall, Northwood, and Woodville Road, and most importantly, poor management of The Andersons retail division…The Andersons could have moved to Oregon and kept its “East Side” store profitable and avoided this closing. Navarre Avenue has so much more to offer and would have been ideal. It’s not like the city of Oregon hasn’t tried. So sad.” Jeannine Burgess Czop, a Press reader who said Andersons should have stuck it out longer *** “Teamwork, time management, ethical leadership and the ability to think quickly, process and make decisions...I apply something I learned through athletics every day of my life. I will always function in teams-with family, co-workers, and friends--and call on the guiding principles that I first learned as a female athlete...because someone/something gave me the opportunity to play sports. Thank you to my mentors and thank you Title IX” Kris Livingston, former Lake basketball and Division I college player and current administrator for the University of Colorado commenting on the 40th anniversary of Title IX, the federal law that brought gender equality to sports. *** “Anybody that is involved in a team sport gets something out of it. You learn to work as a team. You learn to share. There are some things that you don’t really like to do … but you do it for the team. It’s not always about fun. You learn to push through it. Face it, everything in life doesn’t always go the way you want it to.” Amy Sander, former Genoa Comet basketball player on the effect of playing sports.

Compassion is key to relating to others

Letters should be about 250 words. Deadline Wed. Noon. Send to news@presspublications.com

Clay’s loss To the editor: In reference to the letter to the editor published in The Press about the resignation of Mike Donnelly from the position as Clay High School’s football coach, Mike was forced to resign from his coaching position. I’ve known the Donnellys ever since Mike’s marriage to Tracy, and they certainly are not having problems at home where Mike would need to devote more time to his family. His children will go a long way in this world because of his and Tracy’s guidance. They will learn to respect others by the example Mike and Tracy have set. Mike loves his family and had so much love and respect for his team and players. Where was the backbone of the school board members who didn’t step up to support Mike? Knowing Mike, I’m sure he will excel in the future and become someone else’s coach. It’s Clay’s loss. Phyllis Haeft Williston

Senior support To the editor: Each year for the past several years, Home Instead Senior Care has sponsored the “Be a Santa to a Senior” program, which helps provide Christmas gifts to seniors who would otherwise have nothing. Since its inception, Home Instead has worked with Ottawa County Senior Resources’ Home Delivered Meal program to identify those seniors in need of some special Christmas cheer. This year was no exception. Thanks to Home Instead Senior Care’s caring and loving staff and the communities of Ottawa County for their generous support of this program, more than 60 seniors were able to have a gift to open for this special holiday. Dianne Martin Mortensen Ottawa County Senior Resources

How we relate to other people is to a large extent dependent on how we view them. An insidious pitfall is judging others based on what we believe in, think, and do. We have a subconscious expectation that other people share similar beliefs and behavior. We learn to be judgmental from a very young age. We are surrounded by people who are telling us what’s wrong with everyone else. We hear it from our parents, relatives, friends, strangers, newspapers, TV, and movies. It’s not surprising we then develop the same bad habit. When another person deviates from what we expect, there is a tendency for us to be judgmental. This can include ridicule, condemnation, criticism, or alienation. It’s a mistake to use yourself as a basis to judge others. This does not apply to malicious behavior but rather to the unique makeup of each individual. Each of us has our own perceptions. Even identical twins can have markedly different personalities. We all have different experiences, different expectations, different preferences, different likes and dislikes, different dreams, different goals, and different desires. The chances of any two people being exactly alike are essentially zero. So how can you expect another person to be like you and then be in any way critical of them when they are not? There will be people you disagree with. There will be those you don’t like. There will be individuals you don’t want to spend time

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden with. However, you have no more basis to condemn them than they have to condemn you. We also have a tendency to judge others based on outer appearances. We make judgments based on where someone lives, how they live, the amount of money they spend or don’t spend, the kind of car they drive, who their friends are, how they dress, what they eat, their physical appearance, or even what they enjoy doing. The list of judgment criteria we use is limitless. You never know what problems another person is dealing with. They can have the most envy evoking outer trappings yet be living a life of misery. Conversely, a person who appears to be living a Spartan existence may be happier than you could ever imagine. You never know what’s important to someone or what makes them happy. When you are judgmental of others, you generate negative energy within yourself and close off your ability to be compassionate and understanding. This causes a frustration within you that inhibits your positive energy and accumulates negative energy. When this happens, your own happi-

ness is diminished. You can’t experience true joy when you are finding fault with others. Your ability for compassion is reduced. You then have little understanding of what others might be experiencing. Every aspect of your life will be enhanced when you open your heart to accept people for who they are. Don’t waste any time or energy being judgmental or critical. You have no control over how others live their lives. You won’t change them. It’s a major task just focusing on living your own life. When you stop being judgmental, you will feel more compassion and have more understanding. You will then be able to release built up negative emotions such as anger, frustration, resentment, jealousy, envy, and bitterness. There is deep wisdom in the concept of live and let live. Changing your outlook requires readjusting your attitude. You can start immediately to develop a nonjudgmental attitude. Maintain a constant awareness of your thoughts. As soon as you catch yourself being judgmental, let it go. Making these changes will be a source of enlightenment for you. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Hangover Race

Lake-effect snow leads to sliding on track By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com While the sun was shining in the metro Toledo area on New Year’s Day, lake-effect snow was causing problems at Sandusky Speedway’s 33rd Annual Hangover Race. The snow caused races, which are run in any kind of weather, to be challenging for stock car drivers and entertaining for just under 1,000 fans. “They had plowed it, but it kept coming down,” said Oregon driver Mark Pollock. “What happened once they plowed it, it was still wet, and then it froze. I was sideways more than straight. It’s an asphalt track and it was like racing dirt. There were a lot of spin-outs.” The hardcore racing fans that braved the cold weather were treated to three divisions, the Champagne Stocks, the Moonshine Stocks, and the Whiskey Stocks. As is the customary tradition, there was an endless barrage of snowballs flying from the grandstands all afternoon as the cars raced by. Pollock said there was up to a half inch of snow on the track, but “that was enough” to cause problems. Track promoter Kevin Jaycox said that was on top of 8 to 10 inches that fell the previous week and said up to another inch fell on New Year’s Day that had to be cleared. “It was slippery,” Jaycox said. “It was definitely different. It was probably the worst track conditions I have ever seen. Honestly, we didn’t have a lot of badly wrecked cars. We had a lot of spin-outs

with the snow and stuff, but it wasn’t that bad.” Pollock added, “Race tires and moisture are not a good combination. Plus, the trouble was it kept coming down. They cleared it between each race and it kept coming down, plus I don’t think they want to put salt down on a race track.” Track promoter Kevin Jaycox said the Hangover Race, which has garnered national attention, drew fans from as far away as Canada. “They had a pretty good crowd, considering of course we had two warm years the last two years, and this is just a typical January,” Pollock said. The speedway does everything it can to make the racing fans comfortable. Under the grandstands, a bar is open so fans can stay warm while watching football on a big screen television. Drivers set up heated trailers in the infield, too. Lambertville, Michigan resident Ron Miller would begin his 50th year of racing by winning the 20-lap Champagne Stocks feature. Miller has won eight of the last nine Hangover races, and possibly even more from previous years once he checks his trophy case. Miller, who also finished first in the second Champagne heat, said that this was the most fun racing of the year. Miller took the lead on lap two and was never challenged. Pollock finished second behind Tim Murphy in the Champagne Stocks first heat, and then fourth behind Miller, Murphy, and Mark Kachenmeister in the Champagne feature. Gary Hensel finished fifth in

the feature. “The track wasn’t very good,” Pollock said. “I should have done better in both races but it was so hard to pass because there was one groove and everybody ran that one groove, and if you dropped out of that groove to pass somebody you were immediately sideways and the tires were spinning. It was a very frustrating experience. “I did pretty well, but the main thing is I brought the car back in one piece, which is a victory in itself,” Pollock continued. “But it was frustrating because I had such a fast car, and I know I could have done better, but I just couldn’t pass anybody. It would take five to six laps just to get around one car. “We kept having cautions — the feature is 20 laps of green flag racing but we probably ran 30 laps of cautions because people kept wrecking. They’d throw the green flag, and they’d wreck, and they’d throw the green flag, and they’d wreck. I’m sure a race that should have taken a half hour took an hour-and-a-half. But you know, all in all, I had fun.” Ryan Tamburro won the 15-lap Whiskey Stocks feature. Howard Kelly was the early race leader before Kevin McCall took the point. Tamburro would take the lead from Joey Wyckoff and hold on to take the checkered flag. The Moonshine Stocks 20-lap feature was won by Pauly Hess, who started fifth in the lineup. Hess would have his pace slowed by numerous cautions as the racing surface became increasingly icy as the sun came out late in the afternoon and melted some of the snow on the track.

In 1967, Wolman was approached by Jann Wenner, the founder of “Rolling Stone,” to become the publication’s first chief photographer. The meeting led to Wolman witnessing and capturing the moments of arguably one the most important periods of change in popular music and culture through his camera, with the images serving as a focal point for the magazine. For three years at the publication, Wolman’s photographs were known for capturing the events and personalities as well as visualizing the music. Over the years, Wolman’s artistic talents have been showcased in art galleries around the world. His most recent book, “Every Picture Tells A Story – Baron Wolman, The Rolling Stone Years,” highlights stories and photographs of some of the most significant artists and events of the period. Wolman’s professional background also includes sports photography, aerial photography, figure photography and portraits. More than 30 photographs will be on display in the Owens exhibit. Featured musicians within the photographs will include James Brown, B.B. King, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Duke Ellington, Jim Morrison, Neil Young, Tina Turner, Chuck Berry, George Harrison and Joan Baez, among others. “Rock On: Photographs by Baron Wolman” is being presented in part by a grant from the Ohio Humanities Council.

Eight Comets perfect in inaugural Holiday Duals By Harold Hamilton Special to The Press sports@presspublications.com Genoa’s modernized high school gym is not the only thing that’s changed this fall. Bob Bergman, now in his second year as wrestling coach, is starting to see his program’s efforts come to fruition. Last year in his staff’s first year of mentoring the team, Genoa went 28-5 in dual meets, were Northern Buckeye Conference duals champions, Napoleon dual champions, and Division III sectional champions. This year, the team is much stronger and getting challenged early in various meets where they are matched with some of the best in their division as well as some larger schools. An example of this increased competition was last week’s inaugural Northcoast Holiday Duals Tournament at Genoa High School. The tournament drew teams from across the state, some as far away as Cincinnati (Oak Hills). Competition was considered tough and included Margaretta (Sandusky Bay Conference), which was also a D-III sectional champion last year, and Division I Whitmer. Genoa dominated the field and finished with a perfect 9-0 team record while going 108-19 individually. Genoa finished the tournament by beating D-III rival Margaretta in the finals by a score of 52-12. Eight Comet matmen went 9-0 on the weekend earning first tournament team honors. Statistically, the Comets also established some impressive feats. Genoa recorded 53 pins while surrendering 13. The men in maroon also outscored the opposition by a combined dual score of 574-97 while eclipsing the 50-point barrier in each of its nine duals. Winning all nine of their matches were Damian Demillio (106 pounds), Max Reeder (132), Nathan Moore (138), Drew Keenan (145), Ryan Szymanski (152), Jake Fejes (152), Mike Snider (170), and Jay Nino (220). Of 14 wrestlers finishing undefeated, Genoa had over half. Others going undefeated were Margaretta wrestler Tyler Rogers (113), Galion wrestler Zac Tupps (120),

At 160 pounds, Genoa wrestler Jacob Fejes pinned Whitmer wrestler Conner Jacobs in 45 seconds. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos.lifepics.com) Whitmer wrestler James Wingate (126), Gibsonburg wrestler Jacob Auld (182), Cleveland Heights wreslter Bobby Upshaw (195), and Whitmer wrestler Marquise Moore (285). Tupps was named Most Valuable Wrestler and Upshaw had the most pins with eight.

Genoa was the only team to go 9-0, followed by Margaretta (8-1), Whitmer (7-2), Galion (6-3), Cincinnati Oak Hills (5-4), Gibsonburg (4-5), Mogadore (3-6), Cleveland Heights (2-7), Lakota (1-8), and Seneca East (0-9), The Comet’s next test will be an NBC

quadrangular on Jan. 8 at Genoa against league teams Elmwood, Woodmore and Lake. Genoa’s record stands at 20-3 on the year and they are currently 4-0 in the league. The Northcoast Holiday Duals was the second of four dual tournaments the Comets will be competing in this winter as they prepare for the first annual OHSAA sanctioned state duals scheduled to begin on January 23. Coach Bergman said Genoa chose to host the event because by wrestling nonleague teams it exposes his wrestlers to different styles, some of which would otherwise not be discovered until the district or state level. He said the dual format, rather than that used in the traditional bracketed tournaments, also increases competition and endurance and helps build a team. In a “dual” tournament, teams are pitted against each other building both a fan following as well as generating more team excitement. “We feel that by wrestling in duals we can build a better team and program as a whole,” Bergman said. “In duals, team scores are updated immediately so wrestlers care about each other’s performance and hold each other accountable; creating a positive peer pressure that is seldom realized in individual tournaments. “The more matches the more experience and with experience comes confidence,” Bergman continued. This type of schedule resulted in some wrestlers having nine matches where, in a conventional tournament, with eliminations, some may wrestle only two or three matches, unless they reach the semifinals. “In a 32-man bracketed tournament if you win all your matches you will only wrestle five times,” Bergman said. “Duals are usually just as tough, if not tougher, than a bracketed tournament as any competitive team will place their toughest kid against yours, and sometimes they will even bump their stud up to wrestle ours. “By wrestling in duals, wrestlers can learn from each other and coaches can make spot corrections mat side rather than running from mat to mat. We can also figure out team tendencies of our own and more readily correct them,” the coach added.

Gavin Nelson brings new element to Clay’s Gold Team By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Rich Nelson probably had a lot of reasons why he got his son, Gavin, involved in wrestling back in elementary school. “He wanted me to be real good when I got older,” said Gavin, a junior at Clay. “I never really took it that serious. I think I just did it because my dad wanted me to. It’s starting to pay off. It hasn’t paid off yet, but it will.” Nelson, a 5-foot-6 bundle of confidence and energy, waited his turn while wrestling for the Eagles’ Green team the past two seasons. He has quietly turned himself into one of coach Ralph Cubberly’s top wrestlers. Nelson, who competes on the Gold team at 132 pounds, took a 16-3 record into the new year. “He just dominates kids,” Cubberly said. “He has a non-stop motor. He just goes. He’s just strong and he’s a tough wrestler. He’s a pleasant surprise for me. I knew he was going to be good, but I didn’t know he was going to be this good.” Nelson kicked off the season by going 4-0 at a duals tournament at Cincinnati Moeller High School in November. He beat a state qualifier in overtime and also defeated an Illinois state champion during that event. A year ago, Nelson went 26-8 at 126 pounds on the Green team while he wait-

Ironically, Screptock’s younger brother, Richie, is Nelson’s workout partner. “It stunk,” said Nelson, whose brother Caleb is a sophomore on the Green team. “I wanted to be on the Gold team.

Now it’s my turn, and that practice (regimen) built up and I’m ready to use all that skill I learned in the last two years.” Cubberly said Nelson has a combination of skill, the will to work hard and determination. “He has major dedication to the sport of wrestling,” the coach said. “He didn’t

complain and cry or moan about not starting his first two years. He got better and better. He improved his technique and physical strength because he knew he was behind a couple good guys. “He had to put in his time at that level and wait for his chance. That chance is now, his junior year. Most people have an ‘I want it now’ mentality. Gavin’s not like that. He said, ‘I’ll wait until it’s my turn and I’ll be prepared,’ and boy is he prepared. I think he has an opportunity to make the state tournament if he keeps working hard. He’s going to be one of those guys people don’t know about.” Nelson, who placed seventh at the Brecksville Tournament on Dec. 21-22, has not been pinned this season but he said he knows he has to refine his technique from the bottom position. He said he feels comfortable wrestling on top and on his feet. His goal for the rest of this season is to take things one match at a time, listen to what his coaches tell him and, hopefully, make the podium at the state tournament in early March. “I think I have a chance at top eight if I keep doing what I’m doing,” Nelson said. “My coaches have told me I have what it takes and I could be something some day and I could be good. I started to put some more (effort) into it, then more. I worked harder and kept getting better results. Now, I just love it and I want to keep going farther and farther.”

Backcourt trio 3 times the trouble for opponents

“

Ryan Bowen says he has a team with great chemistry and players who don’t care about their individual statistics. The Lake boys’ basketball coach also has a trio of talented guards who plan to make life very difficult for the rest of the Northern Buckeye Conference this season. The Flyers took an 8-0 record into their key game at preseason NBC favorite Otsego on Jan. 4. They put that unbeaten record together by both scoring nearly at will, as they did in a 118-56 rout of Genoa, and by playing stifling defense. Lake has held six of its first eight opponents to 53 points or less, allowing just 19 points on the road against Elmwood, which went scoreless in the fourth quarter, and 32 against Oak Harbor. The Flyers are getting 40 points a game from their guard trio of sophomores Connor Bowen, the coach’s son, and Jared Rettig and senior Tyler Landis. Connor Bowen, a 5-11 point guard, is averaging 15 points, eight assists and four steals a game. A returning starter, he averaged just six points a game last season. He had a school-record 12 assists in the Flyers’ 62-point win over Genoa, and he nearly had a triple-double in a win over Woodward. “He’s just an old-school point guard,” coach Bowen said. “He can handle the (opponents’) presses and he does all the work on the basketball court and can make things easier for everybody else. He’s a joy

to coach. As a point guard he has to be a second coach on the court. He’s my son, so he may get chewed out more than others, but he is positive every day and he brings a lot of energy. He loves to win, and he shows it every day.” The 6-2 Rettig started last year and averaged seven points a game. He has bumped that average up to 13 points a game this season. “He’s a great scorer and he plays great defense,” coach Bowen said. “When Connor is doing the work for us and Jared is on the wing, he can shoot it and can finish well. Elmwood’s two best two players were averaging 42 points a game coming in, and Jared and Connor guarded those two and held them to zero field goals and two total points. You just tell them, ‘those are your two guys. Don’t let them get the ball.’ It’s

nice when you have two kids take pride in the defensive end. Jared just plays smooth and smart.” A big surprise has been Landis, who transferred in from Start last season but had difficulty meshing with the rest of the squad, according to coach Bowen. Landis (5-11), who is averaging 12 points a game, had never played organized basketball prior to last season. “It showed,” coach Bowen said. “He got frustrated. He had a hard time dealing with structure and he thought, ‘I want to score, but not really work on the defensive end of it.’ We had a talk in the offseason and he’s bought into what we want him to do. He’s come a long ways.” Landis scored 40 points, on 17-of-20 shooting, in the victory over Genoa. “He’s a great open-court player, but he still struggles in the half-court aspect,” coach Bowen said. “He’s great when we’re in transition. This year he’s come a long way and bought in. He sees that everybody gets along and he wants to be a part of that.” Not to be overlooked has been the play of Lake’s two 6-5 post players, Jayce Vancena and Marcus Pierce. The 225-pound Vancena is averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds per game, while the 260-pound Pierce averages eight points and eight rebounds. “Our posts have done very well,” coach Bowen said. “We have a good starting five.” (Press photos of Jared Rettig, Tyler Landis, and Connor Bowen by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.lifepics.com)

Genoa softball team readies for South Carolina trip By Cynthia L. Jacoby Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa girls’ softball team members have put the holidays behind them and are shifting focus to Spring Break training. “I’m looking for the girls to do some team bonding while having the chance to play against some other quality players from around the country,” Comets coach Jeff Eisenbrandt said in a New Year’s Eve interview. In late fall, Genoa Board of Education approved the team’s travel to the Cal Ripken Training Center in South Carolina. Eisenbrandt requested permission for the trip at the beginning of the 2012-13 school year. School board members put off a decision until they could check with the insurance company representatives regarding liability issues, Schools Superintendent Dennis Mock explained in December. “The insurance company said it was OK,” Mock said. Through fundraisers such as a bus trip to Greektown Casino, the girls and coach

raised the $5,200 needed to cover the facility training and hotel arrangements, Eisenbrandt said. The next hurdle is gathering funds to cover the travel expenses, he said. Some of those travel funds will come about through fees collected by Eisenbrandt for pitching and hitting lessons held weekends for elementary students this winter. Most likely, he’ll rent vans to transport the 13 to 16 athletes (mostly varsity players and some floaters between the varsity and junior varsity teams) to the eastern seaboard destination. “We looked into getting buses - but they are just too expensive,” Eisenbrandt explained. Team members will join other athletes from across the United States at the Cal Ripken Training Facility in Myrtle Beach. The complex boasts seven fields and features a training island that will have three Ripken-designed infield training circles, bullpen mounds, batting cages and bunting stations. This year will be Eisenbrandt’s third year at the helm of the Comets fast-pitch

softball team. The team last took a trip to Florida sometime before his hiring. He hopes the trip makes the six returning seniors as well as the underclassmen a more cohesive unit ready for the challenges of the new season. “Last year was a building year,” Eisenbrandt said. “I Jeff Eisenbrandt am hoping to build on that growth and carry it in over into the new year. The freshmen will be a big help in the outfield.” Eisenbrandt took over leadership of the Comets team in 2011. Prior to that, he had coached junior varsity at Anthony Wayne in 2008 and Perrysburg in 2009 and 2010. His resume also includes coaching a traveling team for the Wizards organization in Toledo. Expectations remain high following the storied career of his predecessor, Tom

Kontak. Kontak’s softball teams posted a 16752 overall record in eight seasons dating back to 2003. His teams won Suburban Lakes League titles in 2006 and 2007 and earned SLL runner-up honors from 2003 to 2009. In that time, the teams also collected seven sectional championships, one district title in 2006, four district runner-up finishes, one regional championship and one D-III state final four appearance. Eisenbrandt is not sure how many students in all will turn out for softball tryouts this season. “It’s getting kind of tight now,” he said of the inflow of new blood. “Genoa is a smaller community and the girls play a lot of multiple sports.” Still, he is encouraged and excited by what he sees overall in the community. And that is what especially drives him to make the hitting and pitching camps available to the younger girls. Exposure at earlier ages can only benefit the athlete pool, Eisenbrandt added.

Walleye’s Youds, Glendening to be play in all-star game By Matt Melzak and Andi Roman Tye Special to The Press Toledo Walleye defenseman Ben Youds and forward Luke Glendening will represent the Toledo Walleye at this year’s ECHL All-Star game. Youds is having a tremendous season. He is currently tied for the ECHL lead in points for defensemen with 26 (4g, 22a). The 22 assists he has collected are the most for any defenseman, and he currently sits fourth on the Walleye in scoring. He is also a plus 8 on the season. Youds started the year in Rockford, appearing in three games with 2 assists. Glendening was recalled to Grand Rapids on December 18. When he left Toledo, he was third among Toledo players in scoring with 21 points (14g, 7a). He was also fifth among ECHL first year players in scoring at that time. Two of his 14 goals were shorthanded goals and Glendening was playing as a plus 13 in Toledo. With the Griffins, he has one goal and one assist in six games. The ECHL All-Star Classic is being played January 23 in Colorado as the host team is the Colorado Eagles. Walleye forward Andrej Nestrasil is the AMI Graphics ECHL Plus Performer of the Month for December with a plus 13. Nestrasil was resassigned by the Detroit Red Wings to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League soon after. Nestrasil finished December with a plus 5 in the game to close out the month, a 9-4 win in Fort Wayne on December 31. He also had two games where he was a plus 2, December 1 against Cincinnati and the 16th against Florida. Nestrasil was a plus or better in each of his ten December games, and for the season he holds a Walleye best plus-minus at plus 14.

Former Toledo Walleye forward Andrej Nestrasil (right) heads down the ice at the Huntington Center in downtown Toledo. (Photo courtesy of the Toledo Walleye) The former third round draft choice of Detroit in 2009 has appeared in a total of 30 games this season with Toledo and has collected 31 points (10g, 21a), which ties him for the team lead. He has at least one point in each of his last 11 games with a total of 4 goals and 14 assists during the streak. The 31 points is two more than Nestrasil collected in 51 contests with Toledo a season ago. AMI Graphics in recognition of this award will present Nestrasil with a personalized Plus Performer of the Month Banner during an on-ice ceremony at an upcoming Walleye home game. Tickets are on sale for

Walleye games online at www.toledowalleye.com, or at 419-725-9255. The Walleye set a new franchise record for goals in a game in a 9-4 win at Fort Wayne. Toledo has a record of 18-12-0-1 and is 9-7-0-1 on the road this season. Toledo would get the game’s first goal just 3:11 into the opening period. Kyle Rogers beat Ken Reiter with a wrist shot from the left circle for his 6th goal of the season. Joey Martin and Randy collected the assists on the goal from Rogers. The Komets would tie the game at 6:21 when J.M. Rizk beat Pearce on a breakaway from the Toledo

blue line. Toledo would regain the lead just 34 seconds later at 6:55 when Andrej Nestrasil wristed a shot past Reiter. The lone assist went to Cody Lampl on the 9th goal of the season from Nestrasil. The Komets would even the game at two at 10:39 when Pearce was beaten Scott Kishel. “The message was to keep things simple tonight,” said Coach Nick Vitucci. “We did a great job matching their energy at the start of the game. The best part was that we finished this team off after we got the lead.” Terry Broadhurst would put Toledo back in front 3-2 at 7:13 of the second when he beat Reiter with a one-timer. Nestrasil had a perfect pass to Broadhurst for his 11th goal of the season. Wes O’Neill would put the Walleye in front by two goals at 9:43 with a power play goal, his 10th of the season. Toledo would make it 5-2 when Andrej Nestrasil scored his second goal of the night on a wrist shot from the right circle (O’Neill and Willie Coetzee assisting). The Komets would get a late goal to close to gap to 5-3 after two periods. The offensive explosion would continue in the third period. Travis Novak would make it 6-3 at 8:52 of the period. After a Komet goal made it 6-4, Toledo’s Travis Novak would score his second goal of the game and 5th of the season to make 7-4 at 11:56. Adam Hobson would score his second of the year and Joey Martin would score a shorthanded goal for his 6th to round out the scoring. Goaltender Jordan Pearce made 28 saves and is 9-5-0-0 on the season. The goal in the first period extended Andrej Nestrasil’s point streak to a season high 11 games (4g, 13a). Prior to the game against longtime rival Fort Wayne, new to the ECHL this season, Toledo added forward John May to the roster for the game. May has appeared in 26 games over four years with the Walleye scoring twice with two assists.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Worry Subsists by Lack of Faith Living in today's fast-paced world, and trying to keep up with our hectic daily lives is not always easy. Unfortunately, anxieties have become a greater part of our everyday living, and for many of us, it seems that each day brings new problems. We should resign ourselves to the fact that we will always have concerns to handle; however, the important thing is how we let these concerns affect us. Expressions such as, "I should have" or "I could have"are phrases that indicate that we are living in the past, and should serve as a reminder as to how we should act in the future. Although we cannot change our past

mistakes, we can build on them to help make us a more faith-filled person. Being accountable for our actions and knowing that God is aware of our weaknesses, as well are our strengths, should encourage us to try to do what is in His will. Being overly concerned with " what could have been" is not only demoralizing, it reflects a lack of faith. Trusting in God and believing in ourselves, along with daily prayer, will help develop our faith and help us to live better lives. To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. Good News Bible Hebrews 11:1
