Area cities stayed on top of the weather Northwood and Oregon responded quickly to the demands caused by heavy snowfall and subzero temperatures and wind chills last week. Northwood’s four snowplows had not stopped until the main roads and side streets had been cleared, said City Administrator Bob Anderson Wednesday evening. “Everything was open pretty fast,” said Anderson, who is also the city’s safety director. “We concentrated on the primary roads first, and also kept our business roads cleared. As soon as we could, we headed for all the subdivisions. Our guys have done a really good job. They’ve been working since before the storm actually started. Tonight [Wednesday] might be the first night we haven’t had anyone out plowing.” The city has four large snow plows as well as smaller trucks and heavy duty pickups with blades attached. “We had four street employees and the building and maintenance supervisor out plowing. They don’t work any more than 12 hours. We keep track of how many hours

But we also make sure our people don’t get fatigued so they’re safe,” said Anderson. “The only problem we had, just like everyone else, is the snow getting blown over some of our roads,” he added. “You can plow them a million times, but if it’s still blowing, the roads are still going to be covered with snow an hour later.” The majority of residents, he said, got their vehicles off the streets so that plows could remove the snow. Some of the

roads are very narrow, making it difficult for plows as well as emergency vehicles to navigate. “Emergency vehicles can’t get through some of those roads if there is a car on each side of the road,” he said. “Emergency access is vital.” Oregon Oregon’s roads were also cleared as of Wednesday evening, according to Mayor Mike Seferian. “Everything is plowed,” he said. “We just have two crews out this evening covering the city for possible snow drifts.” The city has 13 plows consisting of big and small end loaders and trucks with plows, said Seferian. “At any given time, some of them are being serviced or repaired. One of the snow plows hit a little shift in the road on Navarre Avenue and the blade was bent. It’s not anything tragic. But rather than keep that one out on the road, it was pulled for repairs so it didn’t get damaged any worse. And one of the big end loaders had a hydraulic issue, so part of the time, it was down. When you’re pushing that level of snow, breakdowns happen and it’s not uncommon at all,” he said.

Pemberville mayor Gordan Bowman is hoping that nearly a foot of snow melts real slow after expected 40-plus degree weather over the weekend. The slower the better, he says, adding that while concerned, he is confident potential flooding won’t reach the same proportions as it did nine years ago. In 2005, melting snow and heavy rains led to flooding that resulted in the National Guard coming into town while drawing national news coverage. Throughout the day on January 13, news helicopters were spotted hovering over the village, and at least one of them represented national media. At one point the next morning on NBC’s Today show, Pemberville was specifically singled out as a victim of flooding in Ohio. Then-mayor James Opelt himself counted 20 interviews he performed throughout the six days that national and local news media were in town. He said he even talked to relatives in Arizona and Florida who had heard about the flooding in Pemberville on national news. In a downtown parking lot by the Portage River, hundreds of volunteers worked 24 hours setting up a dike system consisting of 18,000 sand bags and over 300 tons of sand to keep the rising water from damaging buildings. For the most part, the efforts worked. Some homeowners living near the river were not so lucky. Many homeowners experienced rising water filling their basements to the brim and coming close to entering the first floor of the home itself. Opelt said as many as 14 families were voluntarily evacuated from their riverside homes, and some homes were damaged to a tune of as much as $10,000 or more per house. In August 2007, flooding again hit villages along the Portage River, but it did not come close to levels reached in 2005. Because of that experience, and other historic floods, Pemberville has become increasingly aware of potential damage to its downtown buildings.

Northwood seeks lights at Wales Rd. By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Northwood is looking at installing street lights at Wales and Drouillard roads to improve safety at the intersection. “We’ve had a couple of accidents there,” Administrator Bob Anderson said at a recent council meeting. “We want to make it as safe as possible.” The city has received cost estimates to install the lights, he said. A fatal accident occurred at the intersection in December. Councilwoman Connie Hughes said she’s had a few calls about the lights. Anderson said there are currently two stop signs on Drouillard Road. “We got two stop signs going both ways, one on each side of the road. We have a flashing red light on one of the stop signs. We have a sign indicating a stop sign is coming up. We have a sign that says `Cross Traffic Does Not Stop. However, we’re trying to figure out how we can make this saf-

er,” he said. “We thought about flashing LED stop signs. In fact, we’ve talked about it at the Safety Committee a little bit,” he added. The Ohio Department of Transportation, he said, is also looking into improving safety at the intersection. After the meeting, Anderson said that street lights would not have averted the recent accident because it occurred during the day. “We do have a flashing stop sign there. Just before Christmas, someone blew through the stop sign and hit another car. Unfortunately, she died later of her injuries,” he said. The street lights, he said, will be installed to improve safety at night. “It’s pretty dark out there. It concerns us,” he said. “We want to make sure people see the stop signs and don’t run into each other. We have already contacted Toledo Edison. We hope they get them in soon.” Tax abatement Also at the meeting, council approved a

Community Reinvestment Area Agreement with AC and Sons, LLC and IC-FLUID Power, Inc., a privately held custom hydraulics and replacement spare parts firm. The agreement calls for 100 percent property tax abatement for up to 15 years, said Anderson. The school district will not be affected. “The company will pay the school district to make it whole,” he said. “It’s good for the city because we will be able to collect income tax from it. Hopefully, it will still be here after 15 years.” The company, which has outgrown its current location in Rossford, will manufacture heat exchangers at the new 14,080 square foot facility, expected to be constructed this spring on Wales Road. “The property is already in a Community Reinvestment Area,” said Anderson. The company is just taking advantage of something we’ve set up to attract new business.” A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the state-of-the-art headquarters and manufacturing facility last November.

Former Ottawa County Sheriff Robert Bratton said he will plead guilty to a single charge of theft in office and will resign his current position as Genoa police chief. Bratton, 60, is accused of mishandling $5,000 in federal Furtherance of Justice Funds between 2008 and 2011 for personal spending during his tenure as Ottawa County sheriff. He served as sheriff from 2004 to 2011. “I made a mistake. I admit I made a mistake,” Bratton said, “And I will go into court and I will sit down and I will plead guilty and I will no longer be able to be a police officer.” An information charge was filed Thursday against Bratton in U.S. District Court in Toledo. He is scheduled to appear at 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 29. A conviction in federal court means Bratton will be tagged a felon and he will no longer be able to possess a gun. With that, he said, he must resign his post as Genoa police chief. Bratton said he intends to remain chief until 4 p.m. Monday when he will submit his resignation letter to Genoa Mayor Mark Williams. He plans to use the weekend to get the office ready to turn over to another and remove his personal items. Williams could not be reached for comment Thursday night. Village Administrator Kevin Gladden said he was saddened by the event. “The village, for its part, wishes him good luck. It did not affect his work here. He did a good job for our department,” Gladden said. Village council, which rescheduled its first meeting of the year to Jan. 13 because of the snowstorm and will address the resignation letter then, Gladden said. The next in command at the police department, Sgt. Todd Mocniak, will temporarily take over chief duties. Details of the mishandled money came to light a couple of years ago when the Ohio auditor’s office determined that Bratton had wrongly spent nearly $5,000 – some in cash and the remainder in credit card expenses – on personal items including uniforms, prescription medicine and Cedar Point tickets. The Furtherance of Justice fund is to be used to help cover costs of official law enforcement duties. Revenues come from the federal government but are administered by the state.

World still warming By Mary Kuhlman Ohio News Connection news@presspublications.com

In 2005, firemen and volunteers in downtown Pemberville pump flood water out of businesses after sandbagging the riverside area. (Press file photo by Ken Grosjean)

Pemberville braces for river flooding after that 2005 flood to help offset any future losses suffered by floods, or for that matter, other disasters, such as fire or tornadoes. One of the owners of downtown buildings, Dennis Henline, is already planning what’s ahead when the snow began melting because of warmer temperatures and possible rain over the weekend. “All we’re going to do is keep a gentle eye on it. We’re not going to spend any money or labor or anything,” said Henline, owner of Pemberville Home Improvement Center. “The one day won’t be bad if we just get an inch or two (of rain), but if we get three inches, that will change our whole strategy. I think with the frozen snow drifts and stuff that we can handle one inch, but where we would have trouble would be two or three. Believe it or not, the river has not frozen, so we’re not going to have an ice

jam that would create the flood,” Henline continued. Henline said the village will not resort to sand bags, like they did in 2005. “The only thing that would really cre-

ate a problem would be the ten inches of snow we got plus two inches of rain, then we would probably not go with sand bags, but we’d probably go with dump trucks full of gravel and plastic and just make our own little barrier. Sand bags are a lot of work coming and going, but we’re going to use some tractors and dump trucks where we can build a temporary barrier just to protect the downtown businesses.” In 2005, there was snow on the ground and temperatures suddenly became Springlike, leading to a quick melt. Forecasters say that temperaturs should not go higher than the upper 40s this year. “If we’d have a fast melt like that with two inches of rain, then we’re in trouble,” Henline said. “But looking at the long range, we go through 24 hours and then it’s supposed to get cold again at night, so some of the water will remain in the farm fields where we won’t have to deal with it right away.”

Area cities stay on top

Meetings rescheduled due to severe weather

Continued from front page Some need just minor adjustments, he added. One plow’s defroster broke down, causing the windows to fog up. “The truck was running great, but with the defroster broken, the driver couldn’t see and needed another vehicle. It was just a matter of icing on the intake, not allowing the truck to draw in any air to blow onto the windshield.” Street crews work 12 hour shifts, and are compensated with overtime, time and a half and double time pay after 40 hours, he said. There were no waterline breaks reported, though they can occur when the temperatures start to rise. “Sometimes after a cold spell, when it starts to get warm a little bit, is when waterline breaks can show up, so we’re not out of that yet,” said Seferian. “We can be more susceptible later because the ground starts to move when it gets warmer. We’re fortunate so far, but we could still have them.” Road salt Both cities were expected by last Thursday to start covering the streets with road salt, which is ineffective in temperatures below 20 degrees. The temperature on Thursday was expected to climb to 24 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. “We’re going to start using a lot of salt pretty soon to break down the remaining ice on the roads. We used a little so there’s some traction for motorists,” said Anderson. Seferian said the city also used road salt during the day on Wednesday as temperatures hovered near 20 degrees. “We were on the edge today,” he said. “We used salt during the daylight hours. The sunlight makes it start working.” The city decided not to salt the roads in

Ohio and other parts of the nation may be frozen, but an expert says the world is still warming. Lonnie Thompson, an Ohio State University professor who has studied the effects of climate on glaciers around the globe, said public opinion on climate change tends to shift in response to cold weather patterns. “We have a tendency to say, ‘Well, if it’s cold here; the world must be getting colder.’ Well, this is not true,” he said. “We live on a huge planet. It’s a complex system, and that natural variability that’s always been with us continues, even though the longer-term trend is toward warming.” Weather is what is currently happening, Thompson said, while climate figures are averages based on the weather. While the world does go through ice ages and warming periods, he said, it’s the longerterm rate of change that is prompting alarm about the earth’s warming pattern. Each of the past three decades has been hotter than the one before, Thompson said, and those three decades were hotter than at any time in the previous 1,400 years. In his travels, Thompson has studied glaciers, tree rings, corals and other biorecords to find the natural indicators of climate change. Scientific data tells the same story, he said. “If you look at the instrumental records, eight of the nine warmest years in that 132year record have occurred since 2000,” he said. “So, the world hasn’t stopped warming - it just happens to be cold right now here in Ohio.” The current frigid temperatures, as well as other so-called “extreme weather events,” could be connected to climate change, he said, adding that some scientists think it’s through a chain reaction starting with the warming of the Arctic. “A number of papers have been published suggesting that the loss of sea ice in the Arctic has caused larger undulations in our jet stream,” he said, “which allows the Arctic air masses to penetrate farther to the south, and also warm air to move farther to the north.” When considering the changing climate, he said, it’s important to look at what’s happening on a global scale. While it may have been 5 below zero in Ohio on Monday, it was 34 degrees Fahrenheit in Anchorage, Alaska.

(Press photo by Stephanie Szozda) the evening due to falling temperatures. “If you get some melting, and it drops down cold enough, it will re-freeze when nightfall comes and it will be more slippery than if you didn’t salt,” said Seferian. Auto repair Seferian, who owns an auto repair shop, said most disabled vehicles in this weather are due to dead batteries. “We see a lot of car batteries we have to change. A little place like ours, we changed five today,” he said. “What most people don’t realize,” he added, “is that the cold isn’t as hard on bat-

teries as hot weather is. More batteries are damaged in the hot part of the summer as in the winter. It’s 10 to one. Heat is more damaging than cold all the time. However, it takes one-third of the power to start a car in the summer than it does in the winter. Batteries are damaged a lot of times in the summer, but they are just getting by. When it gets to subzero temperatures, it’s three times more difficult to turn over the car because it demands more power, and that’s when the problem shows up.” Thirty-five years ago, auto repair shops might replace 20 batteries in a day in such weather.

The recent spell of snow, wind, and freezing temperatures forced the cancellation of meetings and services in several area towns. • Walbridge Village Council will hold its first regular meeting of 2014 on Jan. 15 at 6:30 p.m. after cancelling its Jan. 7 meeting. •The Lake Township trustees cancelled their organizational meeting for 2014 and rescheduled it for Jan. 14 at 5:30 p.m. •In the Village of Pemberville, trash pick-up has been rescheduled for Jan. 13, according to the village administration. Buckeye Sanitation, which collects the trash, has a message on its answering machine that it cancelled its Jan. 6 collection. In Lake Township, police responded to a weather-related accident on Monday when a motorist was unable to stop at the intersection of Walbridge and Bradner roads and slid into another vehicle. Two private-property accidents involving tractor-trailers at a truckstop were reported on Jan. 5 and 6, police said. There were no injuries reported. The emergency status for most area counties was reduced to Level 1 during the afternoon on Thursday.

Energy program The Village of Genoa has renewed its partnership with Efficiency Smart through the end of 2016, extending the initial threeyear contract that began in January 2011. The Efficiency Smart program provides energy efficiency services for electric customers of the village’s utility system. Through the end of November 2013, the partnership has resulted in 486 megawatt-hours of energy saved in Genoa, more than double the goal established for the first contract, according to figures compiled by the program.

Failing grade CharityWatch, which provides indepth analysis of charities, said Planet Aid does not spend much money it makes on programs. “This charity consistently reports low overhead and high program spending in its annual financial documents, but a closer analysis by CharityWatch reveals a different picture of how efficiently Planet Aid is operating,” states a report on its website. “Planet Aid reports spending 84 percent of its expenses on programs in 2012. CharityWatch’s analysis of Planet Aid’s 2012 tax form and audited financial statements show the charity spending only 27 percent of its expenses on programs.” CharityWatch further states that Planet Aid does not distribute the vast majority of the clothing and other goods it collects to needy people, but sells it. “In 2012 Planet Aid brought in over $38.4 million from selling these items,” according to CharityWatch.

2013 Traffic fatalities drop in Ohio By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Preliminary data indicate there were fewer fatalities from traffic crashes last year in area counties than in 2012, reflecting a state-wide trend. Fatalities from crashes dropped last year in Wood, Lucas and Ottawa counties but increased in Sandusky County, according to figures compiled by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The highway patrol said 982 persons died last year in traffic crashes in the state compared to 1,122 in 2012. The 2013 figure, while provisional, may be the lowest number of fatalities in the state since the highway patrol started keeping records in the 1930s.

Fatalities dropped last year by one in Ottawa and Lucas counties and five in Wood County; but increased by four in Sandusky County compared to 2012. Statewide, there 835 single-fatality crashes, 55 crashes in which two persons were killed, three crashes in which three persons were killed and two crashes in which six persons were killed. Locally, drunk-driving citation actions last year increased in all but Sandusky County: • Ottawa County - 133 citations in 2013; 119 in 2012. • Wood County - 474 citations in 2013; 430 in 2012. • Lucas County - 1,192 citations in 2013; 1063 in 2012. • Sandusky County - 299 citations in 2013; 344 in 2012.

City Administrator Bob Anderson said after the meeting that the city has already removed several bins, which have cropped up mostly along commercial corridors over the years. The public has complained about the bins, which he said were unsightly. Most of the boxes belong to Planet Aid, which started in the Boston area in 1997. Its website states that the project “protects the environment and supports sustainable development in impoverished communities around the world.” Another organization, the Special Olympics, removed their own bins, said Anderson. “They seem very legitimate. They had three of them. They pulled them after they got our letter. They were very responsive. They wanted us to reconsider outright banning them. Right now, they don’t comply with our zoning regulations. They are an accessory use,” he said. The organizations have to remove the bins, he added, or go before the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) to get a permit to locate them in the city. He doubts the BZA would approve such a request. “If we had one or two collection boxes in the city, that’s not a problem,” he said. “But when you have one every hundred feet, that’s a problem. People tend to drop stuff off in the bins that they just don’t want – garbage. Some of them aren’t very well maintained. And some are downright ugly - made of plywood with a thin coat of paint.” Anderson said he wasn’t sure whether the city was going to ban the boxes or make some exceptions. “We still have the Salvation Army and Goodwill,” he said. Besides Toledo, Rossford last year was also looking at regulating the bins.

Zoning violation The city last year mailed letters to the owners of the collection boxes, as well as to the owners of properties where the boxes are located, to inform them they are in violation of the zoning code. The bins, called “accessory structures,” are not permitted by the Central Business District Zoning code, according to the city. “An accessory use is permitted when it is clearly, customarily and incidentally subordinate to the principal, permitted use of a parcel,” states the letter. “This is clearly not the case with `clothing collection boxes’ within the Central Business District. Therefore, you must remove any and all collection boxes currently located on your property…Failure to comply may result in further action, including, but not limited to the removal of the boxes by the city.”

“

If we had one or two collection boxes in the city, that’s not a problem...

Robert Thompson, an official with Planet Aid, which collects clothing and shoes for the needy, said his group wants to work with the city to keep the yellow bins in the community. “We resent being hit with a broad brush, which happens in every community with curbside recycling,” said Thompson at a council meeting last month. “You don’t want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. We’re trying to avoid that. When we’ve had the chance to work with a city, we have been able to avoid the banning of boxes per se.” The “secret,” he said, to easing their concerns is to give the city control over the boxes. “You control the boxes – you control the circumstances, you control the licensing of the boxes, you control the whole operation. That’s been done in many, many cities in Michigan. That seems to be the theme all the way around,” he said. The group is currently working with Toledo on a proposed ordinance regulating drop boxes, he added. He gave council an introductory letter describing Planet Aid, which he said operates in 21 states and has a home office in Massachusetts. The local branch that covers this area is in Romulus, Michigan.

Legal action considered

Bird groups say turbine plans violate law By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“

We are asking the developer to immediately halt construction and take the steps mandated by federal law to prevent the illegal killing of protected species.

“

Plans to install a wind turbine at Camp Perry may be headed to court as the Black Swamp Bird Observatory in Oak Harbor and a national conservation organization have jointly said they intend to file suit against the Ohio National Guard, contending federal law protecting wildlife is being violated. The BSBO and American Bird Conservancy say an environmental review process has been circumvented and the proposed wind project is violating the Endangered Species Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. If completed, the Ohio National Guard’s plan to erect a turbine at the camp poses a threat to endangered species such as Piping Plover and Kirtland’s Warbler as well as other federally protected birds, said Dr. Michael Hutchins, national coordinator of ABC’s bird smart energy campaign. “We are asking the developer to immediately halt construction and take the steps mandated by federal law to prevent the illegal killing of protected species,” he said. “The proposed development of wind power at Camp Perry ignores the many concerns expressed by wildlife professionals in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Ohio Department of Natural Resources. He said the turbine would sit in the middle of a major bird migration route that is adjacent to a national wildlife refuge. The bird observatory and conservancy stated their intent to sue in a Jan. 8 letter to Capt. Roger Nienberg, of the Ohio National Guard Red Horse Squadron at Camp Perry, Deborah James, Secretary of the Air Force, Dan Ashe, director the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Sally Jewell, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, and Gen. Mark Welsh III, Air Force Chief of Staff. A public interest law firm, Meyer Giltzenstein & Crystal, based in Washington, D.C., submitted the letter to the officials. It asks for an “adequate response” by

Jan. 20. “It is our preference, however, to work in a collaborative fashion with Air National Guard and the (Fish & Wildlife) Service to rectify the violations described herein and to consider alternatives other than wind power to meet ANG’s renewable energy needs,” the letter says. “It is important to emphasize that the bird conservancy and observatory position is that wind power can be an important tool in fighting climate change and can broadly result in benefits to birds and their habitats. As a result, we support the military’s commitment (and ANG’s in particular) to gradually increasing its share of energy usage from renewable sources. However, the available empirical data also demonstrate that wind energy projects, when poorly sited, can negatively impact birds – including eagles, migratory songbirds, and rare and endangered species – in significant ways through collisions with turbines and associated power lines, and through loss and degradation of essential habitat.” Mark Shieldcastle, research director at the bird observatory, has been heading efforts to study flight patterns of migratory birds crossing Lake Erie. With the use of radar units, Shieldcastle and researchers from government and academia have been compiling data on migrat-

ing flocks in the spring and fall, hoping to determine how close they’d come to wind turbines. Radar units can give researchers a look at the patterns of movement and volume of the birds, their elevation, and how they’re interacting with the lake and shoreline, Shieldcastle said last spring. One question in particular needs to be addressed, he said: Are they flying above the risk zone – the area around the blades of the turbines? One radar unit was placed close to the shoreline while the others were three and 15 miles inland. Preliminary data from the unit farthest inland are yielding a surprise. “That unit had a huge amount of activity below 500 feet,” Shieldcastle said. “How that compares to right along the coastline we don’t know yet. But they weren’t expecting that much bird activity that low 15 miles inland. That can be a very important piece of information, depending on how that analysis comes out. One possible explanation is the birds are dropping in just like a jet comes in – on a long approach. That’s still up in the air until the data is analyzed. But it does show the birds follow a lower altitude farther inland than was thought.” If funding is available, researchers would like to have three years of data, he said. According to an environmental assessment prepared in 2012 for the Air National Guard, the proposed turbine will be able to generate 500-600 thousand kilowatts of power and have a three blade rotor with a diameter of 135 feet. The maximum height of the rotor tip would be 198 feet above ground level. At its lowest level the rotor tip would be 85 feet above ground. A specific turbine system hadn’t been selected when the assessment was conducted so the dimensions could vary as much as 10 percent, the assessment says. The turbine will offset a portion of the electric consumption at Camp Perry to meet directives set by executive orders and the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

“Frost Fest” fundraiser set The Oregon Schools Foundation will hold their annual dinner dance and auction fundraiser Saturday, Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. at St. Michael’s Centre, 4001 Navarre Ave., Oregon. This year’s event will be known as “Frost Fest.” During the evening, students from Oregon City Schools will trade their books and pencils for white gloves and serve dinner and dessert to all guests as a way to give back to the community. “We are really excited to host this event each year, as the benefit goes directly to the students of Oregon Schools,” said Brent Shimman, president of the board of trustees. “We also hope to continue to bring more awareness of the Foundation’s mission and goals to the community, so that our students are the ultimate benefactors of what a community can build.” The evening will include dinner and dessert by Michael’s Gourmet Catering, a silent auction, raffles, dancing and door prizes. The Oregon Schools Foundation was established in 1991 by a group of civic-minded community members. The not-for-profit organization serves as a catalyst to bring local businesses and the community together to help augment educational opportunities for Oregon children. Through an established endowment fund from donations, the foundation provides grants, as well as community resources, to support programs to enhance and enrich the educational experiences in our schools. Tickets are $25 each or $200 per table of eight. Corporate table and grant sponsorship opportunities are available. Donations of auction items are being accepted. For tickets, call Amy Hansen at 419-836-1161 or email OregonSchools Foundation@gmail.com. RSVP by Monday, Jan. 20 to secure a reservation.

Some thoughts on freedom and dependence Letters â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to fish and they can feed themselves for a lifetime.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good reason wildlife refuges prohibit feeding the animals. When animals are given food, they stop foraging because they become dependent on the handouts. When the â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeâ&#x20AC;? food stops, many animals die waiting for more rather than expending the effort to find what they need. Although dependence appears to be an easy road to take, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of servitude rather than freedom. When you turn to someone else to provide for your needs, you exchange liberty for control. In effect, those you turn to hold you captive. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any choices which may jeopardize your handouts. Dependence is a source of misery rather than joy. At first it seems like a great deal. However, the euphoria fades with the realization that your options are diminishing over time. Jim took a job after high school that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require any special talents or skills. It was easy work that paid a decent wage. All Jim had to do was handle whatever simple tasks he was given. Jim loved his situation. Jim had no motivation to further his professional development. There was no need to acquire any new skills. Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s week was simple. He showed up for work, completed his work, and went home. His job allowed Jim to live comfortably with rela-

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden tively little effort. Five years into his job, Jim got married and started a family. The next year, the demands of his job increased. Jim was now required to spend 50 hours a week at work rather than the 35 he was used to. At first this seemed OK. The pay was good and the work easy. Besides, Jim knew he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many options since his skills were insufficient to make the same income someplace else. In year eight, his work demands increased again to 60 hours a week. Jim couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse since he needed the job to support his wife and two children. Although Jim really wanted to spend more time with his family, he had to put in the hours at work because he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earn as much money with another employer. Jim had become totally dependent on his job. This example may be simplistic but it illustrates the perils of dependence. Dependence subverts your freedom by eliminating options. You can become dependent for your financial, emotional or social needs. Emotional dependence occurs when you give somebody the power to affect how you feel. If your happiness is based on how

another person behaves, you are emotionally dependent on them. Since you no longer control your feelings, you lose emotional stability and identity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your choice whether you are dependent or not. No one can make you dependent. You have the free will to decline any offer of dependence. A life of dependence is a life of being controlled. The antidote for dependency is selfsufficiency. This is where you rely on yourself for your needs. You take responsibility for your emotions. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior but you do have control over your response. Reject handouts. Take steps to ensure your financial security. Take action to prepare for your future. Complacency lulls you into dependency. Always be aware of the impact your behavior has. Self-sufficient people actively shape their future. They make changes as necessary to remain on track to their goals. They put in whatever effort is required to reach their destination. Self-sufficient people chose not to be dependent on other people or circumstances. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be dependent either.

Recognizing efforts To the editor: I enjoyed very much the recent article regarding Genoa grad, pitcher Chris Bassittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climb through the Chicago White Sox organization. Author Mark Griffin captured well the challenges and successes that Chris has and is experiencing in chasing his dream of reaching the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigs.â&#x20AC;? The path is not an easy one as Chris freely admitted with few if any guarantees. Thanks to The Press and Mr. Griffin, his attempt has not gone unnoticed to area baseball enthusiasts. Celebrations of local athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accomplishments, such as those of Chris Bassittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, reinforce an important niche The Press provides for its many readers. Rick Briggle

The state of housing in 05 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I invested in my home on the east side 13 years ago. I invested again this year. I look at three (dilapidated) properties on my streetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of them I see right outside my front door and one of them I see right outside my back door. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I get to look at, and another one is two doors down next to my daughter who has a newborn baby, (and that house) has been burned down.â&#x20AC;? An East Toledo resident attending a talk on the demolition efforts of the Lucas County Land Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The housing is really affordable and interest rates are low. I encourage my friends to look in Toledo for homes. We wanted to be in the city and closer to the activities. Living here has allowed us to put money into other things like student loan debt. Look, you dream of owning a home and you can do it in a cost effective manner that allows you to not get into a hole you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dig out of.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Christy Mesaros-Winckles, on moving to East Toledo after living six years in Springfield Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that feeder system coming into Oregon, Genoa, Northwood and Rossford. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affecting sales and prices in those areas. People have to sell their home in East Toledo to move to the suburbs and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough equity to do thatâ&#x20AC;ŚPeople my age have lost their equity, the kids who buy today, hopefully, if the natural thing happens, will gain that equity.â&#x20AC;? Chris Hall, vice president of Danberry Realtors.

The Woodville Mall â&#x20AC;&#x153;That mall is coming down.â&#x20AC;? Juanita Jones, former manager of the Woodville Mall and spokesperson for the current owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a land grab for the city. The owners cannot complete the demolition on the property without a city permit. And the city has blocked us at every turn.â&#x20AC;? Adam Burke, attorney for owners of the Woodville Mall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not ignoring them. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of asbestos involved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complicated deal. They missed the deadline of September 30. But we still want the owners to tear down the mall. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have anything to do with that mall.â&#x20AC;? Bob Anderson, Northwood city administrator addressing a complaint from the owners which contends the city is now responsible for tearing down the mall because it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet a court deadline to submit paperwork. Anderson contends the mall owners didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide enough detail to guarantee public safety.

Red light cameras â&#x20AC;&#x153;Woodville Road is dead. Anything we can do to bring traffic back to Woodville

by John Szozda Road, we need to do. If those red light cameras scare away five drivers, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five drivers too many. I go over to Navarre Avenue, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even turn back onto the road from a parking lot, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much traffic. Our businesses are fleeing over there. I have had so many people tell me they will not drive through Northwood. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking two or three people, but probably there are 100 people who tell me that. As a business owner on Woodville Road, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need clients being scared away. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people tell me they will go to our Central Avenue office just to stay away from Northwood.â&#x20AC;? Ed Schimmel, Northwood councilman, on eliminating the red light cameras in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The loss of businesses on Woodville Road has fueled this decrease in traffic. With a decrease in the number of cars moving through the intersection, of course the number of accidents has decreased. The number of businesses on Woodville Road has also greatly decreased since the placement of the cameras. I do not believe that this is a coincidence.â&#x20AC;? Ed Schimmel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that was truly the case, why is Franklin Park thriving. They have cameras near there. If those cameras were causing an issue, then their businesses would suffer.â&#x20AC;? Thomas Cairl, Northwood police chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we do have the availability of safety money from the cameras, I see this as a good area in which to put some of it. The number of people who end up paying the fine might not even live here. So instead of taxing our own people to provide a service, we may be able to tax a region to pay for a service. As a resident, I would support that.â&#x20AC;? Greg Clark, Northwood schools superintendent, on using traffic camera money to hire a school resource officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We, in essence, by putting it off, have made a decision. So whether they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign a contract and keep it tabled forever, or vote not to renew the contract, the result is the same: The red light traffic cameras are not operating.â&#x20AC;?

Paul Riss, self-proclaimed punk rock birder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go back to your childhood mind where anything is possible. From there set your intentions.

Bryan Golden, Press columnist, on making your dreams reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide our youth with leadership avenues, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find them themselves and a lot of times itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not constructive.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Romules Durant, Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new superintendent and a Waite grad, speaking about challenging young people by giving them responsibility in school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that nursing home assessment approach work for schools? Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teams of teachers and administrators, trained to look for the good and the bad, walk in some morning, observe classes, evaluate lesson plans, talk to students, parents, teachers and administrators, and make an overall assessment based on both qualitative and quantitative data? People and numbers count, not just numbers and numbers.

it can be a win-win to be poor, actually. I know it sounds crazy, but I know people who have bees in Perrysburg and they die every year because everybody has a chemical lawn service.

Advocate honored with Ntl. Youth Development Award By: Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

I always told my mom and dad that I wanted to empower young people to get what they want out of life... Eryn Sanders

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Eryn Sanders, Rural Outreach Coordinator for The Ability Center of Greater Toledo, Ottawa Office, was awarded the Linda Gonzalez Award through the Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living (APRIL) at the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national conference held in October. Sanders is an Elmore native who currently lives in Millbury. APRIL is a national grassroots nonprofit membership organization consisting of Centers for Independent Living, their satellites and branch offices, statewide Independent Living Councils, and other organizations and individuals concerned with the independent living issues of people with disabilities living in rural America. At the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual conference, held in a rural part of the country each year, participants and presenters from throughout the country come together to talk about the challenges and resources available for people with disabilities living in rural America. The conference also includes the presentation of the Linda Gonzales Award to a person who has made a significant impact in rural youth issues. Gonzales, dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Queen of Independent Living,â&#x20AC;? died July 27, 2013. The award named for her recognizes her strength and resolve, and celebrates her numerous contributions to the youth movement and Independent Living. Sanders received the award in recognition for her impact on community partnerships in the six rural counties The Ability Center serves. In addition to her regular duties, in 2012, she took on the role of developing community partnerships with organizations that provide services to youth in the communities, specifically Wood County

4-H, Ottawa County 4-H, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. She made it her mission to ensure the organizations are accepting of and include all youth, with and without disabilities, in their programming. Working closely with the 4-H in Wood County, she began by developing and leading workshops to teach inclusion to directors, leaders and staff. She then worked with summer camp counselors and staff of 4-H Camp Palmer in Fayette, Ohio, to make the camp accessible for anyone who utilizes the camp facilities. As a result of her work, more than 60 youths with disabilities, including 27 new young people, were able to attend Camp Palmer and be included in all its programs, according to Tory Thompson, Director of Rural Outreach for The Ability Center, Ottawa County office. Her efforts also led to her being named The Ability Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Employee of the Year. She will be honored at the January meeting of the Board of Trustees. The honors and her successes are a very gratifying for the young woman who started as a volunteer at The Ability Center, seeking a way to help others facing the challenges of a disability.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something she knows and understands, having been in a wheelchair since she was 14. Because traumatic birth injury impaired her mobility, school officials became concerned about the risks of her walking on school grounds due to liability reasons, and, despite intercessions by her parents, insisted she use a wheelchair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was frustratingâ&#x20AC;ŚIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have ended up using a wheelchair anyway, but I was trying to prolong it as long as I could. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can walk with braces, but they hurtâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s must easier to use the wheelchair,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of my situation, I always told my mom and dad that I wanted to empower young people to get what they want out of life,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I knew what it felt like for me.â&#x20AC;? After volunteering for four years, she took a job with The Ability Center. Her job entails promoting independence through advocacy, mentoring and independent living assistance for individuals with all types of disabilities, including physical, mental, emotional, and developmental. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strongly encourage all our young people and their parents to be involved at meetings with schools and other resourc-

es,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to speak up and be your own advocate, because nobody knows what you need more than you do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ability Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to be there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the background â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to empower individuals to be independent and be a part of the community. Hopefully, in turn, they will do the same and empower,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our whole goal for the future is to put ourselves out of work.â&#x20AC;? Sanders was thrilled that her supervisors considered her when a grant became available for the youth inclusion project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be perfect for thisâ&#x20AC;Śyouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young, you grew up in the country, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a go-getter.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? She looked forward to approaching youth-related community groups to see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be on board for what might be a new way of thinking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started with Wood County 4-H, which was excited for something new,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We formed a board and worked on concepts to promote inclusion, including things like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;People First Language,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which directs language toward the person first, before the disability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encouraged youths to go out and recruit people to join the organization,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also enjoyed working with the staff and kids at Camp Palmer, helping to get them comfortable enough to ask questions about me and disabilities in general â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the kind you see and the kind that might not be so obvious.â&#x20AC;? Sanders is gratified to see the impact of her efforts at Camp Palmer and in the various organizations sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked with, and she is actively seeking organizations and programs in the Northwest Ohio area wanting to learn more about fostering inclusion for people with all kinds of disabilities. Clubs, organizations and other groups interested in learning more may contact Sanders at The Ability Center of Greater Toledo-Ottawa Office, located at the Sutton Center, by calling 419-734-0330.

Classes focus on fitness, good health for the whole family Though many people make losing weight their number-one New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution, getting fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and teaching children in our lives by example to do the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; should be the goal for 2014 and a lifetime, says Dayre Carpenter of Focus Fitness of Oregon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sooner you get started, the better youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel, and the more conscious you are of what you eat,â&#x20AC;? says Carpenter, a licensed fitness instructor and a personal trainer certified by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). â&#x20AC;&#x153;My programs and classes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about getting skinny,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m focused on helping adults, youths and families get more active and healthy. Fitness has a real impact on family life. And parents can help kids stay active by setting a good example.â&#x20AC;? Carpenter turned her focus to fitness and became a certified personal trainer after caring for her grandparents, who died in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My grandmother suffered with Type II diabetes and other chronic conditions that were preventable,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just

needed to be more active.â&#x20AC;? Focus Fitness is offering CookieCrushing, Resolution Rocking Workouts Mondays and Fridays from 5:30-6 p.m. through Jan. 31, 2014, inside New Harvest Church, 3540 Seaman Rd, Oregon. The total body, moderate-intensity group workouts are designed to help participants fight the battle of the post-holiday bulge and get a healthy start in 2014. (Not intended for ages 15 and younger.) The cost is $10 per week. In addition, a family-friendly free Beginnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Workout is offered Monday and Friday from 6:30-7 p.m., also through Jan. 31. An Absolutely Abs classes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; short, focused and intense workouts designed to work abs and strengthen the core â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are offered Monday and Friday from 7-7:15 p.m. The cost is $5 per class or $3 for series members. Child care is available for parents during workouts for just $2 per child with 24hour notice.

Citing studies from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that estimate that one in every four children in America is overweight to obese, and nearly one in five is sedentary (defined as no participation in 104 activities in an entire calendar year), Carpenter is planning to offer after-school youth fitness sessions at Coy Elementary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Studies show fitness is closely linked with better grades, better attendance and better self-esteem, which can help prevent problems with bullying. And a workout is a great de-stressor.â&#x20AC;? Carpenter chooses to hold classes in available church and school spaces to keep the cost down and ensure accessibility for community members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health is a community issue and should be addressed as such,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;?Focus Fitness is offering a Worship Leader Workout Class to help ministers share a little â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweat equityâ&#x20AC;? with their congregants.â&#x20AC;? Focus Fitness recently began working with Food for Thought, the Oregon-based

food pantry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now when you bring a jar of peanut butter for the food pantry, you can try a workout class free,â&#x20AC;? Carpenter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food for Thought still makes 350 sack lunches every Friday for the homeless. In February, people who volunteer to help make sandwiches on Friday will be invited to attend a family-friendly fitness class immediately after. So parents can teach their kids the value of healthy exercise and the rewards of helping others at the same time.â&#x20AC;? Always open to new class development if a small group forms, Focus Fitness also offers fitness instruction at work sites, as well as personal training sessions for couples and individuals in their home or other appropriate locations.

Instructor adding new spice to Zumba classes at Lutheran Home This year will be the fifth year that Ann-Marie Searle, licensed ZIN Zumba instructor, has been teaching Zumba DanceFitness at The Lutheran Home at Toledo, 131 N. Wheeling (corner of Seaman and Wheeling), on the border of East Toledo/ Oregon. She is looking forward to 2014 being the best year yet. “This year, I will be implementing some new classes that I’ve never offered before,” she said. Searle says the popularity of the dancefitness program has skyrocketed in the area since she became licensed in late 2007. “A Zumba class is ‘officially’ a combination of dance and fitness moves, with the music being at least 70 percent Latin and international/world music and no more than 30 percent American music,” Searle said. “In any one of my classes, you might find a salsa song by Enrique Iglesias, a hip-hop song by Pitbull, a cumbia song by Fonseca, a reggaeton song by Daddy Yankee, and many other rhythms and artists too numerous to mention. “A Zumba class is like taking a musical trip around the world in one hour,” she said. “Combine that ‘trip’ with pumpedup energy and a room full of enthusiastic participants ranging in age from their 20s into their 70s, and you have a huge calorie-burning, exercise-in-disguise party that gives you a physical and mental high. Between doing Zumba and walking, Searle has lost 85 pounds and kept it off, she said. Searle and her team of instructors, including Scott Searle and Joanne Allred, teach Zumba classes at the Lutheran Home at Toledo, every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. New participants are invited to come and try a free class. Punch-card discounts will be offered through Jan. 15. For a complete class schedule and more information, call 419-381-2225 or email a-m4Zumba@ att.net.

Meetings will be held Thursdays from noon to 1 p.m. Complimentary lunch will be served. The 2014 dates include Jan. 16, Feb. 20, March 20, April 17, May 15 and June 19.

Bill introduced On Jan. 7, State Rep. Mike Sheehy (D-Oregon) and Rep. Robert Cole Sprague (R-Findlay) jointly introduced a bill to designate the first Friday in May as Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness & Education Day. “Designating a day for education and awareness about prescription drug abuse will help inform Ohioans about the dangers of misusing prescription medication – especially the very addictive pain killers,” Rep. Sheehy said. “Even after the attention

surrounding this epidemic lessens, we will still have this day to educate Ohioans about the dangers of abusing prescription drugs.” HB 399 was inspired by Kyle and April Schalow of Holland, Ohio, who founded the RX Memorial Foundation in August 2012 to bring awareness to the dangers of prescription drug abuse. The couple have received local recognition for their activism and have testified before the Ohio House Prescription Drug Addiction and Healthcare Reform Study Committee. The bill must pass in both the House and Senate before the Governor signs it into law.

Protect four-legged friends from snow, ice and wintry temps

“

Never leave your dog or cat alone in a car during cold weather.

“

Though forecasters are calling for temps to climb into the 30s and 40s – which may seem balmy after the recent sub-zero weather – there’s still plenty of winter to come. The ASPCA offers these tips to help pet owners keep their companion animals safe when the mercury dips. • Keep your cat inside. Outdoors, felines can freeze, become lost or be stolen, injured or killed. Cats who are allowed to stray are exposed to infectious diseases, including rabies, from other cats, dogs and wildlife. During the winter, outdoor cats sometimes sleep under the hoods of cars. When the motor is started, the cat can be injured or killed by the fan belt. If there are outdoor cats in your area, bang loudly on the car hood before starting the engine to give the cat a chance to escape. • Never let your dog off the leash on snow or ice, especially during a snow-

storm, when dogs can lose their scent and easily become lost. More dogs are lost during the winter than during any other season, so make sure yours always wears ID tags. • Thoroughly wipe off your dog’s legs

and stomach when he comes in out of the sleet, snow or ice. He can ingest salt, antifreeze or other potentially dangerous chemicals while licking his paws, and his paw pads may also bleed from snow or encrusted ice. • Never shave your dog down to the skin in winter, as a longer coat will provide more warmth. When you bathe your dog in the colder months, be sure to completely dry him before taking him out for a walk. Own a short-haired breed? Consider getting him a coat or sweater with a high collar or turtleneck with coverage from the base of the tail to the belly. For many dogs, this is regulation winter wear. • Never leave your dog or cat alone in a car during cold weather. A car can act as a refrigerator in the winter, holding in the cold and causing the animal to freeze to death. • Puppies do not tolerate the cold as

well as adult dogs, and may be difficult to housebreak during the winter. If your puppy appears to be sensitive to the weather, you may opt to paper-train him inside. If your dog is sensitive to the cold due to age, illness or breed type, take him outdoors only to relieve himself. • Does your dog spend a lot of time engaged in outdoor activities? Increase his supply of food, particularly protein, to keep him, and his fur, in tip-top shape. • Like coolant, antifreeze is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. Be sure to thoroughly clean up any spills from your vehicle, and consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol. Visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center more information. • Make sure your companion animal has a warm place to sleep, off the floor and away from all drafts. A cozy dog or cat bed with a warm blanket or pillow is perfect.

Genoa’s duo scoring punch finding its momentum By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

I think Albright has realized that if you surround her with a couple more scorers, people can’t focus too much on her with a gimmick defense.

“

Led by senior Ciara Albright and sophomore Haley Pickard, who are averaging a combined 36.9 points, Genoa has won four consecutive games and finds itself 9-3 overall and 4-2 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. The Comets are back in the hunt after a dramatic, 57-52 victory over Rossford last week. Their winning streak also includes a 57-41 victory of Old Fort, which came into the game undefeated. The Comets’ other seven wins have come in convincing fashion and two of their three losses were to Oak Harbor (9-2) and Elmwood (7-4), two teams having quality seasons. The loss to reigning league champion Elmwood, a 57-47 setback, sparked the current winning streak and enabled the team to refocus. “We sort of got put in place,” said guard Carly Gose, a five foot tall sophomore. “It helped us get rid of the mindset that we couldn’t be stopped. We have better team chemistry now and are working together. And we’re thankful to be back at full strength. Everyone is a key player on the team.” Coach Mike DeStazio believes the team put too much pressure on itself in the game against the Royals and has since been able to relax. “I thought the outside pressure in the Elmwood game was an awful lot,” DeStazio said. “We had one loss. They had none. Everybody acted like that was a game we had to win if we wanted to win the league. It was the fifth league game out of 14. I thought the kids did not play with confidence. The girls played very tight; they became too mechanical. This is a group that needs to play basketball without being too structured. They’re athletic, quick, and I don’t think they played that way against Elmwood.” Albright, a returning Division III honorable mention all-state selection who led the NBC in scoring last season with 16.6 points, has combined with Pickard to form a potent one-two scoring punch that is giving defenses fits. Albright is averaging 20.3 points and nine rebounds while Pickard, an all-district honorable mention selection last year, is putting up 16.6 points and 7.7 rebounds. The performance that stands out for Albright this year was her 16-point, 17-rebound effort in the comeback victory against the Bulldogs, a game that saw the Comets blow a 14-point lead. “I think Albright has realized that if you surround her with a couple more scorers, people can’t focus too much on her with a gimmick defense,” DeStazio said. “The thing about ‘C’ is that she’s a great finisher. She’s good at getting to the hoop. Between the two, Pickard is a little quicker. Albright is more of a basketball player. Albright can get to the hoop and ‘Pick’ is just a great athlete. She’s as tough mentally as you’ll find. She’s got great hands (and) she can get to the hoop. She doesn’t want to lose. When you talk about her, she is really an easy kid to coach because of the effort she gives. Her bar is raised so high all the time.” Despite having a great individual season, Pickard understands the importance of getting everyone involved. “It’s important for everyone to help out and score,” Pickard said. “Basketball

is a team game. We like to use our speed and quickness to create turnovers for our offense.” The starting lineup features Pickard at the point, 5-4 freshman Emily Edwards at guard, Albright at small forward and seniors Katie Jensen and Brynn Skilliter, both of whom stand 5-8, in the post with sophomore guards Gose and (5-4) Haley Gerke, wing Erica Harder, a 5-11 sophomore, 5-9 junior Christy Dazley and sophomore Caitlyn Shessler filling in off the bench. And that’s where the role players come in.

Skilliter, who leads the league in rebounding at 9.9 per contest, and is averaging 4.6 points, has increased scoring while continuing to be a solid defensive presence in the post. Jensen, who normally plays in the post, is such a versatile talent that can shoot and play any of the five positions. She is currently averaging 7.1 points and 3.6 rebounds. “Brynn has been a pleasant surprise in terms of her scoring,” said DeStazio. “She told me before the season that she was going to be more of a scorer for us. She’s another unsung hero on this team. When you look at everything she does, you can’t win without her. “Katie is a smart player. She sees the floor and makes great passes and takes the ball out of bounds all the time. She also plays at the top of our defense. She is the kind of player that, at the end of the night, won’t have a lot of stats, but she was a big part of the game.” The other starter, Edwards, who is averaging 5.2 points and 3.1 steals, has filled in nicely for Gose and Gerke, both of whom have missed significant time this year because of injuries. “I’ve started her every game,” DeStazio said. “She was the silver lining in a dark cloud when we lost. She’s a freshman and I didn’t know what she was capable of. She’s done a nice job for us.” Genoa returns to action on Monday when they host Lakota in non-league action and travel to Elmore to face Woodmore, which won their first meeting, 57-50.

Slovak remains cautious despite Clay girls’ 8-3 start By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay’s girls basketball team took an impressive 8-3 record into Thursday night’s scheduled game against Three Rivers Athletic Conference rival Notre Dame Academy, the fourth-ranked Division I team in the state. Concerning that record, Eagles coach Corey Slovak on Tuesday offered this caveat: Clay has yet to face the meat of its TRAC schedule. “We haven’t hit Notre Dame, Lima Senior or Whitmer yet,” he said. “I’m looking just to be competitive against Notre Dame. They will challenge us with their experience and size. They have two 6-footers and a 5-11. I don’t start a girl taller than 5-8, so our size will be a disadvantage.” A lack of size has been the Eagles’ Achilles heel for several years, but this year’s squad has found ways to be competitive. Clay won three of its first four TRAC games against Findlay, Fremont Ross and St. Ursula, and lost to Central Catholic. “These girls epitomize what it means to be a team,” Slovak said. “We don’t have that one girl who is going to go out and get us 25 a night. We don’t have that 6-2 girl who is going to be a defensive stopper. They’ve bought into who we are. We are small, so we have to use our team speed. We have shooters, so we look to shoot the 3-ball. We are aggressive. We play 90 feet. I tell them if you’re open, shoot it. That’s how we have to play. At this point, it’s worked.” The Eagles have pretty much the same group of players they had last season, when they averaged 39 points a game. This year’s team averages 61 points a game. “We’re probably averaging 20-24 points a game off assists,” Slovak said. “We’re cutting down on turnovers, too. That’s helping.” The Eagles’ top scorer, junior guard Morgan Connor, averages 16.1 points and a has a team-high 30 steals. Connor shoots 41 percent from behind the arc and has scored in double figures in all 11 games. “She’s been solid for us the entire year,” Slovak said. “She’s been our most consistent scorer. We’ve been scouted by everyone, so she’s scoring knowing she’s

Clay junior Samantha Erick heads downcourt in transition in the Eagles’ victory at Waite. (Press photo by Russ Lytle/ Facebook/ Russ Lytle/ RHP) going to get the other team’s attention. She can spot up or create her own shot and she gets to the basket pretty good. With her feet set, she is a pretty dead-eye shooter.” Sophomore guard Haley Hess, the Eagles’ sixth man, averages 13.9 points. Slovak said Hess, who shoots 40 percent

from 3-point range and 66 percent inside the arc, has no trouble scoring off the bench. “I love her as the sixth man, because she is instant offense,” Slovak said. “If we get off to a slow start, she can get us back in the game. She plays the point for us when she’s in the game, and it’s nice to have that.

I like having her as that go-to girl off the bench right away.” Junior guard Sam Enck averages nine points and is one of the team’s top defenders along with Haley Orr, according to Slovak. “We are getting some scoring out of Sam, and she always (guards) the other teams’s best offensive player,” Slovak said. “She gets a lot of points in transition and going to the basket. She’s not that big, but she does a nice job of getting herself in position to make layups. She’s been in double figures three out of the last four games, and she’s doing a nice job of getting to the free throw line.” Orr, a junior guard, averages just under four points a game but that doesn’t concern Slovak. Orr is known as Clay’s defensive specialist. “She’s smart,” Slovak said. “You get her on the court and she plays like she’s in a bad mood. She plays defense with kind of that chip on her shoulder, and she’s very selfless. She’s not worried about scoring or being a big part of our offense. She knows her role very well.” The Eagles’ other starters are sophomore Hannah Hess, who at 5-8 is the team’s tallest starter, and senior guard Kayla Schafer, who leads the team with nearly four assists per game. “Kayla has done a lot of things well for us recently that don’t have to deal with her scoring,” Slovak said. “She’s being the quarterback on the floor and playing pretty good defense. She’s done a nice job of minimizing turnovers. Hannah Hess averages nearly nine points and a team-best four rebounds a game. “Hannah is going to be an outstanding player,” Slovak said. “She’s getting better at getting to the basket and she’s a good shooter. I wish Hannah would shoot it more. Sometimes she is a little too indecisive on the floor, but we’re working on that.” Slovak added that the Eagles have two main goals from here on out. “We want to finish in the top half of the TRAC, which will require us to beat one of the established teams,” he said. “We also want to get to districts. Those are two things we believe are realistic and still very challenging for us.”

Three more Clay High wrestlers close in on 100 victories By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

It said ‘100 wins’ and had my name and all my accomplishments. It was nice.

“

It’s not unusual for a high school wrestling program to feature a couple of wrestlers who have 100 career wins under their belts. Clay has five current wrestlers with 100 wins. “You don’t see that too often,” coach Ralph Cubberly said. The Eagles’ Nick Stencel, at 160 pounds, and heavyweight Antonio Zapata both earned career win No. 100 a year ago. This season, seniors Jared Davis and Gavin Nelson and junior Richie Screptock have all picked up their 100th career victories. Davis, a 126-pounder, nailed down win No. 100 at the Brecksville tournament on Dec. 30, beating Zach Tupps of Ashland. Davis decisioned Tupps, 1-0, with a second-period escape. “I wasn’t really thinking about (my 100th win) during the match,” Davis said. “I had to go out and win anyway. Gavin came up to me afterwards and said, ‘Nice of you to join the club.’ He already had his 100th. I asked him what he was talking about before I realized I finally got it. That made the win a little better.” Davis was 27-7 as a freshman at 103 pounds and 29-12 at 106 as a sophomore. He had a 32-12 record last year and is 12-4 this season. Davis’ career mark stands at 100-35, and he is one of only three Clay wrestlers to reach the state tournament three times. He placed seventh at 106 as a sophomore. “Jared is a great leader,” Cubberly said. Davis, who won the season-opening Solon tournament, said getting to 100 career wins was never really a goal. “With my other goals, I had planned on reaching it anyway,” he said. “I wanted to be a state qualifier and a state placer, and it was just something that was going to happen anyway. If I achieved my major goals, then I didn’t see that not happening.” Davis said his goals from this point forward include winnning his second Three Rivers Athletic Conference title, winning his third sectional title and moving on to win district and state championships. “I’m doing pretty good,” he said. “I’m

(Press photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook/Russ Lytle/RHP) not cutting as much weight this year, so I can focus on getting better instead of getting weight off week to week. My offseason wrestling and training has helped me improve my skills this year. It’s sort of showing so far, but there is always room for improvement no matter who you are.” Nelson, a 138-pounder, is 15-5 this season and has a career mark of 107-31. He won 26 matches as a freshman and sophomore and finished 44-11 at 132 pounds a year ago. “Gavin is one of our hardest workers,” Cubberly said. “He is a very focused, hardworking kid and he was a state alternate last year.” Nelson earned his 100th career win at the Oak Harbor Duals, pinning Oak

Harbor’s Dylan Thorp in the first period. “I was keeping track,” Nelson said, “and I told Coach, ‘I’m going to get my 100th win tonight.’ He said, ‘Hey, it’s not that big a deal.’ They made it sound like it’s just another match, but one of the coaches made a sign for me. It said ‘100 wins’ and had my name and all my accomplishments. It was nice.” Nelson said he figured he would reach his 100th win this season, “but I didn’t know I would get it this early in the year.” “I didn’t know how many I needed this year, and it added up fast,” he said. “Then I realized I can go way over the (100) mark.” Nelson said he feels like he’s on the right track this season after taking third at the Brecksville tournament.

“I have a feel for close matches because I’ve wrestled so many tough tournaments,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of real tight matches and I’ll know how to win them if I get to state. Being on the state podium, that’s the only goal I have.” Screptock, who is 18-7 at 132 pounds, has been on the state podium twice. He took seventh at 112 as a freshman and placed fourth at 120 last season. Screptock’s career record stands at 111-20 after finishing 42-7 as a freshman and 51-6 as a sophomore. Win No. 100, an 8-2 victory, came at the Ironman tournament against an opponent from Arvada West (Colo.) High School. “It was kind of a goal,” Screptock said. “I just remember winning the match and feeling good about getting my 100th win. I knew that was it; I was keeping track. I wanted to get to 100 this year, that way I can surpass the (school) record next year.” Angelo Amenta holds Clay’s school record for career wins, with 160. He is now a sophomore wrestler at Columbia University. “Richie’s got a ton of experience,” Cubberly said. “He’s wrestled at all the summer stuff and has tons of experience. He’s very aware of wrestling positioning and he’s easy to coach because he knows what’s going on.” Screptock, a two-time conference and sectional champion, said he still has a few things to work on this season, like offense and setting up opponents. “I’m getting on track,” he said. “I want to win the state title this year.”

Teams participating include Anthony Wayne, Bath, Bowling Green, Brush, Grove City Central Crossing, Clay, Delta, Findlay, Fremont Ross, Grove City, Liberty Center, Lima Shawnee, Lorain, Madison Comprehensive, Massillon Washington, Maumee, Mt. Vernon, Northwood, Parma Normandy, Perry, Perrysburg, Sandusky, Sylvania Southview, Springfield, Tiffin Columbian and Wauseon. “Perrysburg and Delta will be tough. (They) may not have the depth that Clay has — but will get a number of guys at least to the semis and probably at least a couple each to the finals. (170 pound junior Rocco) Caywood moving over to Perrysburg has helped them a lot for tourneys,” one blogger wrote. “Of course, Wauseon will be right there contending for the championship. They finished ahead of Clay at Brecksville and right now I would have to consider them to be the favorite,” the blogger continued. After 34 years of teaching and coaching, the late Mike Casey had surely become a fixture and mentor for the Clay High School student body and administration. He was a social studies teacher and athletic director at the Oregon school. He was a golf coach for 13 years, assistant wrestling coach for nine, assistant football coach for six years, and athletic

“I think being A.D. is the best job I ever had. I really enjoyed the freedom. In a way it’s kind of like running a small business. You’re kind of the boss and you have a lot of people working for you. All of the coach-

es were really good to work for,” Casey told The Press when he retired in the 1990s. On that GLL golf championship team he coached were Dave Sekinger, who went on to golf at Eastern Michigan, Jeff Keller, currently a lawyer and Oregon Municipal Court judge, and star golfer John Rimer. Football players while he was athletic director included Jimmy Harrel, who went on to play at Ohio State and started there at wingback for two years, and Phil McDonald, who went on to star at Illinois at center. Casey told The Press that his thrill was to see these two play against each other in Ohio Stadium. He couldn’t forget Ted Federici, whom he calls a “legendary” football coach. Clay’s home field at Memorial Stadium is named after Federici. “Federucci had a great relationship with the kids and parents. They were great years and we had great ‘numbers’,” Casey said. While he was at Clay, a million dollar renovation of the football stadium, originally built nearly 70 years ago, was completed. Another accomplishment he witnessed was the building of a new basketball arena. He said the football stadium was “a million dollar project that cost the board of education about $300,000. The rest of it was done by the community coming in with equipment, know-how, and skills, donations in money, and donations in kind.” He said one of the biggest changes he saw, in almost all sports, was prep athletes competing year-round. He wanted to see the OHSAA put stronger limitations on the beginning and end of athletic seasons for high school athletes.

Wheeler, Dunbar lead 7-man squad By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Third-year Northwood wrestling coach Bill Cannon may only have seven individuals on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster, but he said the Rangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program is â&#x20AC;&#x153;starting to evolve.â&#x20AC;? Northwood features one junior, two sophomores and four freshmen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had anything,â&#x20AC;? said Cannon, who has been with the program for eight years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some very heartbreaking years getting to where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at now. I love to be optimistic all the time, but we have a shot to take three kids to the state tournament. Our (practice) roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting better. I think people need to start paying attention.â&#x20AC;? Northwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top two performers so far have been sophomore Jonny Wheeler at 138 pounds and junior Devon Dunbar at 132. Wheeler, who lettered last year at 120, is 10-0 this season and won his weight class at the Northwood Invitational. Cannon said Wheelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to move down to 126

later this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real defensive wrestler,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short and hard to score on. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not at all surprised. I told him last year as soon as he decided to come out of his shell he would surprise himself and others. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know his potential. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting victories and starting to open up. He wrestles with Devon every day and all that can do is make him better.â&#x20AC;? Dunbar, who took sixth at the district tournament a year ago, placed fourth at the Northwood Invite. Cannon said that Dunbar, who lost to eventual 106-pound Division III state runner-up Evan Ulinski of Woodmore in the district tourney last winter, will probably drop down to 120 this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a rough start at the Northwood tournament,â&#x20AC;? Cannon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He lost by two points on Friday night and lost in overtime. He was (upset) and laid an egg and lost his fourthfifth place match. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looked really good and he is very driven. Losing to Ulinski last year put a fire under him. He has to start believing in himself and start putting some work in.â&#x20AC;? Cannon also has high expecta-

tions for sophomore John Habel, a 160-pounder who lettered as a freshman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was beat up his freshman year pretty bad, injury-wise,â&#x20AC;? Cannon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he finally got going it was a lot to catch up with, being in a senior-dominated weight class as a freshman at 138 and 145. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kid who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to drop weight. Whatever heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to (weight-wise), heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go to. He lifted all summer and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong enough to be at 160.â&#x20AC;? The rest of the roster consists of freshmen Bradley Meeks at 113, Dustyn Williams (132), Trevor Mack (138) and Trent Dale (145). Cannon said the rookies â&#x20AC;&#x153;definitely have potential.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two of them really have a chance to make something and the other two are building blocks,â&#x20AC;? Cannon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They work hard in the room. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a choice but to figure it out quick, because the other three guys take it to them pretty good. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning quick. Wrestling with those other guys, you have to think on your feet.â&#x20AC;?

eek: Healthy Christianity

because of this harsh treatment of his body. Consider what St. Paul tells us about sins against the flesh: "Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18) So, we should take care of ourselves and work on making our body healthy and strong; but, we must remain properly focused and not let our healthy body become a source of pride. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? New K.J.V. 1 Corinthians 6:19

As Christians, it is all too easy to justify the neglect of our bodies as the result of our focus on more important things, such as the salvation of our souls. But, a healthy body is conducive to both morality and religion, and a frail or sick body can actually be an impediment to both. Furthermore, it is very difficult to have a positive attitude when we are sick, and ill health also tends to make us self-centered, since all we can think about is how poorly we feel. On his deathbed, St. Francis of Assisi apologized to his body, which had been ravaged by years of harsh and intentional neglect. He died at the age of forty-five, no doubt in part

Happy New Year! My name is Kramer and I have made the resolution to find a new and loving home this year. I was picked up off the cold streets by the kind people at the Lucas County Canine Care & Control (FKA Lucas County Dog Warden) and have been lovingly taken care of while I wait patiently for a family to come and adopt me. I promise I will be a good boy! If you are interested in me or any of my canine companions please visit the Lucas County Canine Care & Control - 410 S Erie St, Toledo, 419-213-2800. Open Mon-Fri 11-7, Sat & Sun 11-5. You can view adoptable dogs on our Facebook page as well as Petfinder.com, and stray dogs can be viewed on PetHarbor.com. Remember to purchase a 2014 license for your dog, stay warm, hug your dog, and have a safe and fabulous new year.
