City warns

Beware of door-to-door salesmen By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley urged the public to use discretion when dealing with salesmen who have been spotted in the city going door to door, particularly representatives from natural gas and electric suppliers. The city staff, he said, often get calls from the public when salesmen come knocking on their doors. “They get calls from the public when folks are going door to door for natural gas or energy sales,” he said at a council meeting on Jan. 14. Residents should make “apples to apples” comparisons of prices and terms of service with their utility companies and other companies wanting their business to ensure they are making the right decisions on paying the lowest prices, he said. “Citizens have the right to do anything they want — it’s a personal decision,” he said. But residents should be sure to ask “good questions,” he added, particularly when it comes to making decisions about choosing natural gas or electric companies. “It’s a very confusing subject for folks. The next thing they know, they’re signing up for something and they’re paying more than they intend. We just want to encour-

Home demolitions, or rather the lack of demolitions, in East Toledo brought out distraught residents when Lucas County Land Bank executive director Cindy Geronimo arrived to speak to the East Toledo Club. Over 40 residents jammed into the East Toledo Senior Center at Navarre Park expressing concerns over nuisance homes that have been a menace to the neighborhood, in some cases, for a decade. One man said, “I invested in my home on the east side 13 years ago and my branch manager over here from the bank will attest to that I invested again this year. After years, I’ve looked at three (dilapidated) properties on my street — one of them I see right outside my front door and one of them I see right outside my back door. That’s what I get to look at, and another one is two doors down next do my daughter who has a newborn baby, (and that house) has been burned down.” The man continued by saying he repeatedly telephoned the city’s nuisance abatement line, and nothing came of it. Another woman talked about a garage that had burned three years ago and still stood, despite her attempts of repeatedly calling the city’s nuisance abatement hotline. Story after story followed from local residents until one man became raucous, blaming the whole housing situation on the banking industry and faulty loans. Geronimo explained that the Lucas County Land Reutilization Corporation (or land bank), a community improvement corporation created to strengthen neighborhoods by returning vacant and abandoned properties to productive use, seeks to alleviate the situation. 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. Geronimo said in 2011, the ﬁrst year of the land bank’s existence, 50

age our citizens to ask good questions and know exactly what they’re signing up for. They can do what they want. But we do get a lot of calls. It is a challenge,” he said. Councilman Jerry Peach said he had recently learned of the natural gas salesmen in the city. He also noted that there are two men associated with the proposed gas ﬁred electrical generating plant doing an assessment of historic architectural structures. “They are driving around, taking pictures. This is just one of the steps that is necessary in the permitting process. If anyone [on council] is contacted by the public about a light gray Suburban driven by a couple of individuals taking pictures within a three mile radius of the plant, it’s

probably those individuals,” said Peach. Beazley said the assessment is needed to show that the plant “will not be in an inappropriate location.” “I think they will find it will fit in well with our industrial section of Oregon,” said Beazley. Known as the Oregon Clean Energy (OCE) project, the power plant would convert clean natural gas to electricity and will be constructed just south of the BP Husky Refinery, between Wynn and Lallendorf roads. Councilman Sandy Bihn asked Beazley if salesmen need permits to go door to door in the city. Beazley said they have to file applications with the city beforehand. “And we do a record check,” said Beazley. “Before you can go door to door, we do have the authority to reject companies and individuals. We reject people with criminal records. We rejected the application of one company because we felt they were not complying with our rules. They had some problems with àfter hour’ issues, the time of day they’re allowed to knock on the door, where they can go. Oregon has a fairly reasonable rule on that. It is not something we are perfect at. We can’t make many value judgments about what they’re selling. But public awareness is good.” Peach said the requirement has been

Demolitions Continued from front page

Rock on

homes in East Toledo were identified and three were demolished. She explained that number was low because the land bank was laying a foundation. In 2012, she said there were nine home demolitions in East Toledo, including four scheduled this month and 60 more in the spring. In partnership with the city, she expects close to 900 county wide will be identified for demolition by the land bank each year, which is about half of the 1,800 vacant and abandoned homes that have become nuisance properties. She expects about 600 per year to be demolished, double the 300 per year the city was demolishing before the land bank was created. She said the city is still doing demolitions, including fire and other emergency demolitions. “Lot of frustration” There are currently close to 100 homes in East Toledo now identified for demolition, but they have to go through an administrative process that could include an appeal from the landowner. She said the complete process typically takes six months, but some have been completed in five months. “It’s a fluid list that keeps changing,” Geronimo said. “Right now, I can tell you that of the 60 homes we have (to be demolished in East Toledo this spring), some of them may come off because of an appeal. “We really want to work these processes out,” Geronimo continued. “We’re really just here trying to get a handle on the processes and figure out the best way to get it out to the public. Everybody has had to change the way we work and it’s taken a lot of resources. We’ve had to change the way we work. “I’ve been in government my whole entire career and I will say, in government sometimes it can take a long time to get things done. (At-large Councilman) Shaun (Enright), (Mike) Craig, and myself — we all live in the same neighborhoods we grew up in,” the director added, “and you know there is a lot of crime and there are a lot of things that need to be fixed. “Collectively, we are trying to get things done. Hopefully, after taking down 900 homes we can make a difference in the community. There is a lot of frustration. I’m there and I see how hard it is to make changes.” Each home identified is inspected by nuisance abatement code enforcement officials from the city. Geronimo said even if

Wolman was Rolling Stone Magazine's first chief photographer. The exhibit, which includes rock album art, will run until March 28th. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) they are not slated for demolition, they will be cited for nuisance and she promises the land bank “will find out what’s going on with that property.” Geronimo said the land bank is focusing mostly on demolitions now because of the grant from the Ohio attorney general’s office. Continued funding for the program comes through an increase in the interest rate charged delinquent property taxpayers. County Treasurer Wade Kapsukiewicz estimates annual revenue at $1.5 million. Some homes are being resold by the land bank. Geronimo said five have been sold this year with one still available for purchase. If you are a Lucas County homeowner that lives next to a vacant lot that shares a common boundary, you may be able to purchase that lot for $100 under its side lot program, as long as you are current in your taxes and meet other specifications. Otherwise, a property will cost at least $250. If you purchase a home, Geronimo said you must show that you have at least $10,000 available for reinvestment. When the land bank acquires the property, all previously owed property taxes are waived, and when it comes to a new owner, it will

have a clean title. Geronimo said the land bank is also seeking out commercial properties for renovation or demolition. Geronimo said the land bank is trying to find out what’s going on with the historic Masonic Building on Main Street, which since 2007 has had a fence around it so residents have had to walk on the street to get around the building. The fence was put up apparently because of building material falling from several stories above. They also hope to tackle commercial brownfields. “With any of the brownfields that exist, we’ve talked to the University of Toledo to do environmental remediation,” Geronimo said. Geronimo and District 3 councilman Mike Craig explained that environmental remediation is basically using plants that will remediate a brownfield. “That’s a passive way to clear a brownfield,” Craig said, “and maybe after 10 years of cleaning the land it can be rezoned maybe commercial or residential.” To report homes or commercial property, Cindy Geronimo can be reached at 419-213-4293 weekdays from 8:30 a.m.4:30 p.m.

Salesmen Continued from front page part of the city’s code for years. “I think it’s a very valuable practice to make sure people who are coming into our community and soliciting are required to identify themselves,” he said. The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, a residential utility consumer advocate, for the last few years has warned the public about signing contracts with door to door energy company marketers. The office has received many complaints from consumers who reported that their utility bills increased after signing up with door to door sales people, then having to pay early termination fees to cancel their contracts. Information about all marketer offers and prices is available on the website of the Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel at pickocc.org.

Penta carpenters constructing soccer facility By Mark Grifﬁn Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Rob Weaver has been a senior carpentry instructor at Penta Career Center for 16 years. Every year Penta students take on a major project in order to gain experience for careers as electricians, masons and carpenters, to name a few. “We usually build a house every year,” Weaver said, “and this year the house (project) fell through at the last minute. We were left, for the ﬁrst time in 40-some years, without a house to build.” Enter Penta Superintendent Ron Matter, who approached Eastwood Schools Superintendent Brent Welker about a possible project for the Penta students to undertake in the Eastwood district. “Our superintendent talked with Brent Welker, who had a house built by Penta,” Weaver said. “We built (football coach) Jerry Rutherford’s house, too.” When Eastwood’s new soccer building, a 45x35-foot structure that will house concessions, restrooms, a storage area and a press box, is completed, Penta students will have done most of the work. Former Eastwood basketball coach Todd Henline is in charge of the construction crew. “We started in early November and (construction) will run through the end of the school year,” Weaver said. “We’d like to be totally completed by then. I never feel on schedule, but we’re moving well. We’re doing OK. This next stretch in January will tell a lot. We found a product to put on the roof sheathing, so we don’t have to shingle it until April.” Eastwood Athletic Director Chris Fahim said he hopes to have the building open to the school district by the start of soccer season next fall. “So far, so good,” he said. “They’ve laid the foundation and they’re starting to get the structure up. The kids have done a great job working through the weather and it’s shaping up nicely. It’s win-win for us. We’re getting this new facility and the Penta students are getting the experience out of it. They weren’t doing a house this year, so they were looking into doing some construction. We talked with them quite a few times and came up with blueprints, and now we have a structure going up.” Eastwood will also have two new buildings behind the baseball and softball backstops. They are 10x10, one-story structures that should be ready by the start of the spring sports season, according to Fahim. “They will house a small concession stand and a tiny press box,” he said. “There was nothing there before that. We would get trailers and put them back there. Now we have a permanent structure and our baseball and softball programs can take ownership.” Phil Donaldson, director of operations for the Eastwood School District, said the soccer facility is mostly being paid for from private donations. He said the donors have

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) chosen to remain anonymous. “It’s not costing a lot (for taxpayers),” he said. “We’re still taking in some donations, so I don’t know what it’s going to cost the school. It’s being built by Penta, so there’s no labor (costs) involved. Secondyear carpentry kids are building this. It’s slow going because they’re coming from Penta every day. There are morning and afternoon classes, so it’s a slow process. They don’t have eight-hour (work) days.” Donaldson said the plumbing will be done by Bob’s Plumbing, of Luckey, Ohio. Weaver said 100 students, ages 16-18, have been working on the soccer facility. He said his class consists of about 20 students, and all of the students are working in “two-hour chunks.” “The commute from Penta is about 17 miles,” Weaver said. “We’re doing basically

Grant to fund feasibility study The State of Ohio Department of Development, through its Local Government Innovation Fund, has awarded the Lucas County Clerk of Courts and the Wood County Clerk of Courts a grant in the amount of $90,000 to fund a feasibility study to design and evaluate an all-encompassing document imaging system between Lucas and Wood counties that could eventually integrate 20 additional counties in Northwest Ohio. The primary goal is to provide a regional approach to providing services among neighboring counties, and to provide a greater level of efﬁciency and access to public documents for taxpayers.

four hours a day. Right now we probably have 40 kids a day. The remodelers built a couple structures at the ball ﬁeld and are just about wrapped up.” He added that Penta’s construction courses generally get about 10 students a year from the Eastwood school district. “Construction courses tend to get solid students from Eastwood,” he said. “I don’t have any this year, but that’s rare. Usually I have two or three and they’re generally all really solid. Those kids just grow up with a good work ethic. We’re always looking for future projects. We have next year’s project, but we’re looking to line things up two years out if possible.” Superintendent Brent Welker said over Christmas break, the district approved a $3,000 donation from Pemberville residents Dave and Vicki Bruning for the soccer building.

“This grant will allow us to show the efﬁciency and cost-savings attained through a regional approach to providing services to our communities,” said Lucas County Clerk of Courts J. Bernie Quilter. “This grant will allow both Lucas and Wood counties to investigate how to share resources with other government agencies to perform duties that are directed to be done by our elected positions.” “Retention of public records is something that all public agencies are concerned with and fortunately for us, we have been actively doing so,” said Wood County Clerk of Courts Cindy Hofer.

Walbridge

Mayor steps down, says court battle would be too costly Two village council seats open

With the resignation of Dan Wilczynski as mayor of Walbridge, the village avoided what would likely have been a costly court battle had the former mayor or members of council decided to pursue legal action. Council voted 4-2 in December to seek an outside legal opinion on whether the mayor was violating the Ohio Revised Code by missing too many meetings of council. “Our village council hired outside counsel to get a declaration on whether that applied to mayors,” Wilczynski said Tuesday. “They came back to Brian Ballenger (village solicitor) with an opinion that said they think it applies. There is at least one court case. Brian said I could probably fight this but the village is going to have to pay for both sides. He said council is against you and they’re going to continue to push this. So I basically said I didn’t want the village to pay for lawyers to fight this.” Section 3.17 of the general provision section of the code reads: “Any member of a board, commission, council, board of trustees of an institution of higher education, or other public body of the state, except a member of the general assembly or a judge of any court in the state, who fails to attend at least three-fifths of the regular and special meetings held by that board, commission, council, board of trustees, or public body during any two-year period forfeits the member’s position on that board, commission, council, board of trustees, or public body.” The law went into effect in September 1997. Wilczynski was re-elected to the mayor’s office in November 2011 in a three-way

Walbridge residents who’d like to be considered for two vacant seats on village council should submit letters of interest to Jan Sawaya, council president. Letters can be mailed to the Walbridge Municipal Building, 111 N. Main Street, Walbridge, O. 43465; or faxed to 419-6618458 or by email to: clerkofcourt@bizwoh. rr.com to Sawaya’s attention. The seats became vacant when Dan Wilczynski forfeited the mayor’s seat and council president Ed Kolanko assumed the ofﬁce and Pat Fox resigned his council seat. Sawaya was elected by her peers to be council president when Kolanko rerace. His absences were an issue as he had to travel out of town frequently for his job in the private sector but Wilczynski said he kept in contact with the administrative staff via cell phone, email, and faxes and his presence at the council meetings wasn’t crucial to the day-to-day operations of the village. Village council last May approved appointing Ken Frost, the police chief, as part-time administrator in addition to his duties as chief. Members of council usually fell into a predictable pattern when voting on whether or not to excuse the former mayor’s absences from the meetings, with Fred Sloyer, Sue Hart-Douglas, and Jan Sawaya voting to not excuse and Pat Fox and Nathan Eikost voting to excuse him. Council President Ed Kolanko would vote to excuse when the mayor would alert him to his travel

signed his seat to become mayor. Council has 30 days to fill the vacancies, otherwise the mayor will be required to appoint someone. Fox’s resignation from council is effective Jan. 14 and Kolanko’s is Jan. 16. Appointees will fill the duration of the terms, which expire at the end of 2013. Wilczynski forfeited the mayor’s seat after council received a legal opinion that Ohio law requires members of public bodies to attend at least three-fifths of their meetings over a two-year period. His private sector job required him to be out of town often. plans before a meeting, otherwise he voted against. But Kolanko, who, as council president, assumed some responsibilities of the mayor when he was out of town, said during the summer the absences were “getting out of hand.” Between Jan. 4 and June 20 of last year, Wilczynski missed seven regular council meetings and two special meetings. He missed four regular meetings and one special meeting in the last half of the year, according to meeting minutes, Council holds two regular meetings each month. Last week, Kolanko said the absences were hampering communications between Wilczynski and council during the budget process for 2013. “There are a lot of good things, and I think council would agree, that Dan has done for the village throughout his time as

Oregon school board to renew 2-mill PI levy By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

There’s a ﬁne line in saying how safe we are and how prepared we are.

“

The Oregon school board last week voted in favor of renewing the district’s permanent improvement levy. The 2-mill, five year levy is expected to expire at the end of this year. The board’s action at a meeting on Jan. 10 requests that the Lucas County Auditor determine the final millage amount. The board will have to vote again to put the levy on the ballot. “It’s a renewal. It should not cost the taxpayers any more than they’re currently paying,” said Jane Fruth, the district’s treasurer. “It may even cost them less because of the drops in valuations. We’ll find that out finally from the county auditor once I turn this in. This is the first step.” Revenue from the levy can only be used for specific purposes, such as for building operations and repairs, equipping and furnishing schools, maintaining and purchasing buses, and computers. It is not for operating costs such as salaries. “This is not coming out of the general fund,” said Board President P.J. Kapfhammer, who, up until recently, was chairman of the capital improvements committee. “It’s important to understand that PI money in this district has been used extremely well. It’s not a new tax. It’s not a `free for all’ to just go and blow money. We

have invested in the community with the PI money. We have done projects that will save the taxpayer money down the road. We’ve done a lot of good things with this money. We’ve saved fuel costs at Jerusalem Elementary School, we’ve done metering at Fassett to save electrical use. We’re been energy efﬁcient. A lot of this money has been used to streamline our expenses and save the community money going forward.” He also said the money goes toward safety resources. “In light of the tragedy at another school, I will be looking forward to investing some more money into the safety of our district with these funds,” said Kapfhammer. “There’s a ﬁne line in saying how safe we are and how prepared we are. You’re never going to be fully prepared for something

like that. I believe our greatest assets are our kids. So it’s very important to me to put this PI money towards being more safe and prepared. I do want to put some serious dollar amounts into our schools to protect them even greater. This is exactly what we use this money for. It’s making sure the kids are safe, the buildings are safe, and that we’re efficient in the day to day operations. To me, it’s essential that we carry on with this for the betterment of our district and our kids.” Carol Molnar, vice president of the board, added that the revenue can also be used to upgrade textbooks and computers for students. “And we will need to upgrade those with the new standards,” she said. “I might add,” said Dr. Mike Zalar, superintendent of the district, “that if we were not to have this money, it would further deplete our general fund because those monies would have to come from somewhere to pay for textbooks and technology. With the loss of revenue we’ve been experiencing in the last five years — almost 25 percent of our general fund revenue — we cannot afford to lose this revenue as well.” The levy would be on the May 7 ballot if the board gives final approval, according to board member Jeff Ziviski. Voters previously passed the 2-mill permanent improvement levy on Nov. 4, 2008. The levy was expected to generate $1,251,932 annually for five years.

mayor. But obviously his work, his family, his personal life have taken him outside of being available in the village. The law is the law and we all took an oath of office to follow the laws of the State of Ohio,” Kolanko said. Kolanko assumes the mayor’s post with the resignation and said council will begin the process of filling his vacant council seat and that of Pat Fox, who was critical of the decision to seek the legal opinion on the absences, and also resigned. Fox’s letter of resignation, dated Jan. 12, states “…I feel I am no longer part of the team.” Council has 30 days to fill the vacant seats, Kolanko said. Wilczynski, a former member of village council, assumed the mayor’s office in 2003 when his predecessor, Rob Robson, resigned the office. Last week he said he was proud of the village’s effort to retain and attract businesses during his terms as mayor and to lessen much of the negative media coverage of the village.

Library hours change The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library kicked off its restored Sunday hours at four Library locations, and continued Sunday hours at Sanger Branch. As part of Phase 2 of the library’s “Promises Made, Promises Kept” campaign, beginning Feb. 4, more library locations will have restored weekly and Saturday hours. Affected branch locations include Birmingham and Locke. Restored hours include Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at both the Birmingham and Locke branches. More locations are scheduled to add hours in March in a Phase 3 rollout that will include Main Library and remaining branch locations. In 2009, the library reduced hours in the wake of a $7.4 million shortfall resulting from a reduction in state library funding, coupled with a drop in property tax valuations.

Musical auditions Genoa Civic Theatre will hold auditions for its spring musical, “Godspell” Feb. 10 and 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the theatre, located at 509 Main St., Genoa. Cast hopefuls are asked to bring a prepared song. For information, contact Marcia Busdeker, director, at mkb_ 77@hotmail.com.

Kapfhammer named president, Molnar vice pres By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon school board last week voted unanimously to reelect P.J. Kapfhammer as president of the board. The board also elected board member Carol Molnar vice president of the board. Kapfhammer, who was elected to the board in 2011, became president of the board last June when former board president Dick Gabel resigned due to health reasons. Kapfhammer, elected on a platform of transparency and change in the district, had to gain the confidence of the board when he first took his seat. Oftentimes, he got caught up in verbal disputes with Gabel, Superintendent Dr. Mike Zalar, and board member Diana Gadus over policy. Gadus even filed a complaint against Kapfhammer following a particularly heated argument at a policy meeting. After Gabel resigned, tempers cooled. In an effort to move the district forward and put the conflict behind them, the board had elected Kapfhammer president. Since then, the board and Zalar have tackled several issues on a united front. Any animosity from the past has completely faded from view. Kapfhammer told The Press after the meeting that board members have considerable respect for each other and have been working together to improve the district. “It’s a different district. People are actually smiling, and getting along. It feels like a new system,” said Kapfhammer. “I think we’re on the upswing, and I want to continue along that task. I really feel like you’re going to see great things. We have some excellent ratings back in our schools, test scores are on the rise. We had hit rock bottom, but we’re slowly crawling up. Along the way, I want to get community involvement and keep everyone moving forward.” One of the most important issues in the district this year, said Kapfhammer, is the reconfiguration of the two middle schools that the board approved last month. “It’s not enough to approve it. I want it to be a success and make sure it’s carried out the right way,” he said. Eisenhower Middle School will become Eisenhower Intermediate School, housing grades five and six. Fassett Middle School will become a traditional junior high school with grades seven and eight in attendance. “We have already formed a committee with parents, administrators and board members. They met last week for the first time,” said Kapfhammer. “We’re going to be hands on throughout the process. This is something we’re going to meet routinely on until the transformation, and I believe we’re going to still carry that committee forward after the reconfiguration. Even though we approved it, let’s make sure we’re getting this right. I want those kids, within the first month, to come home and say `This is great.’ I want the parents to say, `You know what, it’s working.’” The board had been considering the reconfiguration since last June. Raising academics, especially in grades five through eight, as well as more stringent common core state standards, are why the board made the changes. “I know in my heart of hearts, this is going to be a huge success,” said Kapfhammer. “It was educationally driven. It wasn’t about the money, but how do we improve. It’s very important that this shows improvement rapidly. I don’t want to wait two years to find out if this works.”

Navy Seabees push museum project further By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The Harbor View Historical Society, which began a soft opening of its museum in the former Harbor View Missionary Baptist Church at 2083 Autokee St. in Oregon, is getting closer to having its campus completed. Last week, U.S. Navy Seabees volunteered their time to raze a nearby home purchased by the historical society. The new land will join the former church property to create a one-and-a-half acre campus, said the society’s program manager, 30-year Navy veteran and Chief Warrant Officer Michael Joseph. The society purchased the adjoining house and property through the Lucas County Land Reutilization Corporation (or land bank), a community improvement corporation designed to strengthen neighborhoods by returning vacant and abandoned properties to productive use. The purchase and renovation of this new adjoining property is the second phase of the historical society’s development of its campus. “Initially, in December 2010, the Harbor View Historical Society presented to the planning commission of Oregon that that was going to be a park and it also was necessary as part of the entire project. After last week, we now own that property,” Joseph said. “Now, we have the entire footprint. The entire campus is acquired and we are able to start running ahead after we’ve been telling people what we are going to do and what it’s going to look like in the long run,” Joseph continued. “The new property is a swale area to collect the water from the footprint of the museum. We needed that for zoning and regulation, so it’s going to be a park.” Joseph said the park will be given a name which has a historical significance from an event that took place there in July 1947, but the historical society must get permission from the family before releasing the name. Once the property is done and the name finalized, a dedication ceremony will be held. Joseph wants those involved with the

If someone wanted to ﬁnd out, ‘Well, what is the end product going to be?’ That is how we are operating — it will be a place where students from the university can come and study. Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society to know that the Harbor View society is there to be supportive of their activities as well. “We are not replacing the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society,” Joseph said. “We support that organization. We are a different training opportunity for students and we are still making contact with the University of Toledo. We’ve got a soft contact with the university to have their history students come down and do an internship with us, and that’s different than the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society. We are going to be more about education, which was the original statement from way back. “That’s part of the museum. A lot of our people are with the boy scouts and with the United States Navy, and I am an assistant clinical professor at the University of Toledo. It’s always been about education and training and we’re happy that the Navy came out and gave us a hand.” Koshare Indian Museum Joseph added that the Harbor View society plans to model its organization after the Koshare Indian Museum, which was created by Boy Scouts of America in La Junta, Colorado in 1933.

“If someone wanted to see what the original plan we had from five or six years ago is going to look like and how it’s going to operate, we have a template that I can honestly tell everybody now that we have developed,” Joseph said. “If you look at their website (KoshareHistory.org) and how they were created, we are following line by line that project. “It was a boy scout troop, just like the boy scouts are involved in the Harbor View Historical Society. We are going to have an explorer post here. They (Koshare) are now linked with the university there and have been for around 40 years,” Joseph continued. “If something wanted to find out, ‘Well, what is the (Harbor View) end product going to be?’ That is how we are operating — it will be a place where students from the university can come and study, kids (scouts) can spend the night if they are traveling across America, and they can put a sleeping bag on the floor and get up the next morning and leave. That’s the whole thing about the Koshare Indian Museum and how we will fund ourselves.” Officials with the Harbor View society last year announced the appointment of Samuel J. Bonifas as its first president. Bonifas was selected in part due to his experience managing historical and genealogical societies throughout Ohio, says Joseph. Boniface has memberships in the Ohio Genealogical Society and he has served as president and vice president of the Allen County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Bonifas is also a member of the Delphos Miami Erie Canal Commission. In addition, a charitable organization called The Last Patrol will have an office adjoining the historical society’s museum. John Nowakowski, who heads the charity, has been working for 10 years to bring a Navy ship to Toledo that will be docked permanently. “He is going to bring a ship to Toledo for the United States Navy Sea Cadets. Right now, they’ve been looking at multiple different ships. They’ll use it as a museum and also as a training platform,” Joseph said. “This is a developing story in the City of Oregon that’s getting bigger and wider.” Those interested in helping out may contact Bonifas at 419-236-6924.

The Hungarian Club to host wine tasting event By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The Hungarian Club of Toledo will host a Wine Tasting on Saturday, January 26, beginning at 7 pm. at the club located at 220 Paine Street, in East Toledo. According to Zauzi Travis, chairperson of the event, the wine tasting has been held for several years and is a very popular event, with around 50 people attending. The cost for the tasting is $15, per person. Those attending are also asked to bring an appetizer to share. “This event is so much fun and people are usually very generous with the amount of appetizers they bring,” Travis said. “The money that is raised is put into the club’s general fund which pays for the utilities for the Hungarian Club.” Travis’s brother, Norm Heineman, of Bowling Green Beverage, will be showcasing six European wines for the event. The wines that will be served at the tasting event retail from $6.99 to $12.99, per bottle. Both Travis and Heineman have a great knowledge of ﬁne and approachable wines. They are both members of the Heineman family, which continues to own and operate the Heineman Winery at Put-in-Bay since 1888. Their father, the late Harry Heineman, was a third generation owner and wine maker with his brother Lewis, who is still at the winery. According to Heineman, the wines he will be serving and discussing are decidedly “old world” and should help expand attendees’ palates beyond the typical “new world” wines many are accustomed to. “This will be a taste of European, old world wines as opposed to the new world wines popular in and coming from the new world,” Heineman said adding wines from California and Australia are examples of the new world style of wines. “The new world wines have a big nose. We, in America, drink these wines as cocktails because they drink well on their own.” “Old world wines are not as impressive in the nose, but they go with food,” Heineman continued. ‘These are the traditional wines they have been doing for centuries.

“

Wine is one way of enhancing the experience of meals. We should learn to enjoy them more.

“

This culture (American) is not necessarily interested in drinking wine with a meal. In Europe, wines are considered foods and the wines themselves like the company of other foods.” Heineman said he has showcased Hungarian wines at the tasting in years prior, but decided to highlight budget friendly European wines in the hopes that more people will begin to enjoy the libation with food more often. “Wine is one way of enhancing the experience of meals,” he said. “We should learn to enjoy them more.” Wines at the tasting will be Moreau Blanc Dry, from France. The wine is largely made from the chardonnay grape that is blended with other white grape varieties including Chenin Blanc, Folle Blanche, Ugni Blanc and Colombard. “It is a balanced dry wine,” Heineman said. “It is ideal as an aperitif and it goes great with seafood.” From Bulgaria, Flowerface Moscato Bianco, a light and elegant dry white wine that is made with no added sugars, will

also be tasted. “From the nose of the wine, it is a wonderful dry wine,” Heineman said. “It will go with anything on your plate which is a hallmark of the old world wines.” Josef Drathen Spatlese, a Riesling wine from Germany, will also be tasted and discussed. The wine has apricot and peach notes and goes great with blue veined cheeses, richer foods with sauces and Asian dishes, Heineman said. “This is a sweeter wine and will be very attractive to people,” Heineman said. “This will be the wine people will ask for more of.” Heineman will also be bringing Grao Vasco Dao Red, a light bodied red wine from Portugal. Similar to a pinot noir, it has sour cherry, wild plum and herbal, peppery notes. “It goes with everything,” Heineman said. “The Portuguese, in my opinion, make the best quality wines of value of any country. The wines are all blends of indigenous grapes they have grown for centuries. This wine also goes with everything.” From Italy, Heineman will be bringing LaMura Rosso, a dry red wine made from organically grown grapes. It is an Ecofriendly, Sicilian wine that is ideal with, you guessed it, pizza and pasta dishes. Offley Ruby Port, from Portugal, will round out the evening. The sweet port wine has strawberry and dark berry notes, and goes with cheese and assorted desserts, Heineman said. Safe parking for the tasting is available at the Birmingham Library or Birmingham Elementary School, Travis said.

Students learning to “Pay It Forward” By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to the Suburban Press A “Pay It Forward” program at Genoa High School looks to open students’ wallets, hearts and minds to the plights of others. The three-year-old fundraising program fashioned around the holiday season was introduced by Genoa High School assistant principal Cari Buehler. This year, the event raised more than $4,500 in cash, gift cards and presents that were given to 17 needy students at the high school prior to Christmas break either through the Ottawa County Holiday Bureau or a private meeting with Buehler to ensure anonymity. “For some of these kids, these stockings full of gifts were the only Christmas they got,” Buehler said. “I don’t think the kids realized before that there are that many families struggling within the school district. I really wish the high school students could see the result of what they do. When I give them the stockings some of them cry, some are speechless, some are even shocked. The one said, ‘I’ve never had anyone do this for me.’” All the high school students participate in the ﬁve-day event in December, even the recipients, who at the time are unaware of the gifts to come. Buehler kicked off the program with an assembly aimed at inspiring students for the charitable cause. The gathering included a video designed by staff member Matt

Hirt and students Brandon Houle, Patricia Phalin, Marissa Crosby and Haley Plantz. This year, the video contained a letter from a student who helped raise funds the ﬁrst year and then found his family life drastically worse less than a year later. The stocking and gifts meant more than he could say, he wrote. “That’s the purpose of the assembly. I try to make them laugh, cry, be humble and empower them to do something,” Buehler said. The increased use of social media has distanced many students from personal interaction known in years past, she added. “I really try to spark emotion,” the assistant principal explained. The remaining four days consist of a slew of fundraising activities concentrated on having fun while raising money for a good cause. Students raised cash by wearing sweatpants, baking and purchasing

baked goods and buying tickets to win a multitude of gift cards and prizes. This year also included a dodgeball tournament where teams earned their way in by raising funds for the entry fee. Those seven teams (consisting of 70 students) and one staff team squared off in competition Jan. 10. The winning team was made up of students Seth Morrison, Jacob Fejes, Nate Moore, Mike Snider, Drew Keenan, Max Reeder, Jay Nino and Tyler Baird. The goal is to raise enough money to fill the stockings full of goodies, a meat voucher, a Visa gift card and photo album filled with various gasoline, grocery and necessity gift cards to lighten the load during the holiday season, Buehler said. The FFA organization, which built the fake fireplace where the 17 stockings hung during the fundraisers, this year also provided fleece blankets emblazoned with Comets. The giving extended beyond the walls of the high school. Riverside Machinery, Brunner Campus Quilter’s Group, Jay’s Body Shop, Genoa Bank and several local families gave donations to the cause. The response has been especially touching for Buehler. And just because the holidays are over, doesn’t mean the need goes away. Extra donations are tucked away to help extremely needy families over the Easter holiday. If you want to know more about the Pay It Forward program or have a donation, contact Buehler at the high school. The school district number is 419-855-7741.

Eastwood families hosting 11 students from China By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Eastwood Superintendent Brent Welker said “there was a buzz at the middle school Monday morning in anticipation of the arrival of several exchange students from China.” Eleven Chinese students, ages 12 to 13, will attend classes and participate in activities throughout the area for three weeks. It is the ﬁrst time Eastwood has had middle school exchange students. They were joined by Chinese teacher and chaperone Liping Niu (pictured on front page), who likes learning to speak the English language and vacationing with family. She is staying with the Dennis family. On Tuesday, the school held a pep rally to introduce the Chinese youngsters to the student body. Each student received an Eastwood Eagles t-shirt and tote bag. On Wednesday, they were taken to Maumee Bay State Park. This week, they will be introduced at a board meeting and their visit will conclude with a ceremony on Jan. 31, which will also be attended by Chinese school administrators. The Chinese contingent was brought here through the work of Valerie Virag, regional director for American Cultural Exchange Service (ACES). Virag operates out of her home in Oregon, Ohio, where she overseas scholarship arrangements for foreign exchange students arriving from 56 countries. “They hook people up here and they have connections all over in Europe, and China, and all over the world. They bring students over here for high school exchange, which is all year round, or for this, which is just a couple weeks,” Eastwood Middle School Principal John Obrock said. They are not only taking classes, they are being tested. Some of the students found themselves taking tests with their American counterparts the ﬁrst week they arrived. “They are participating in school classes every day, not just observing,” Virag said. “We told them they are being graded on their participation and their English skills. They will even participate in some of the sports, too. They are participating in practices, which I think is amazing. “Their host families have just been so warm and wonderful to them, and just nurturing them like they were their own children. You could not ask for better families to take them under their wings.”

(Photo courtesy of Valerie Virag) The 11 students are Jinhaochong Wang, age 12, (likes calligraphy, table tennis, chess; hosted by Schuerman family; student mentors are Emma and Nick); Yuyan Kang, 12, (basketball drawing, skating; Dennis family; mentor is Jack Chappuies); Jiamin Lyu, 12, (basketball, swimming, U.S. football; Slattman family; Hunter and Gavin); Hongrui Zhang, 12, (clarinet, soccer, running, basketball; Hirzel family; Grant Hirzel); Junbo Zhao, 12, (saxophone, football, basketball; Zatko family; Jacob Zatko); Wentao Yu, 12, (tennis, basketball, volleyball; Frobose family; Logan Frobose); Yiyang Cheng, 13, (soccer, camping, computers; Corns family; Logan Baugher); Haoran Li, 13, (basketball, saxophone, soccer; DeWese family; Colin DeWese); Yue Ni, 12, (basketball, golf, horse riding; Stone family; Tori Martin Crosby); Xinrong Suo, 12, (violin, piano, reading; Bair family; Megan Melcher); and Jingyi Hao, 12, (Chinese Zither, drawing, swimming; Richards family; Catherine Was). “These kids are so amazing and they are so interested in our school system and our area,” Virag said. “This Chinese middle schoolers are unique to Eastwood — it’s the ﬁrst time they’ve had middle school students and they are so thrilled about it — both my students and the school’s kids. “They are beyond excitement,” Virag continued. “Not one of them is having a homesick moment because they are so thrilled to be here and so busy. The host families over at Eastwood took them to the basketball game the night that they got here,

and they have just been so busy with them. “They are from a very small province and they don’t usually let them leave the country, but I do have a group of administrators coming from their school arriving on the 27th and they will be staying at Maumee Bay State Park for a week. I’ll be taking them around and showing them the area so that we can continue this program throughout this northwestern Ohio area in future years.” Fierce competition Virag said Rossford Exempted Schools is also participating with Chinese middle school students this year, and Clay and Genoa have in recent years. Eastwood has had Chinese foreign exchange students at the high school, but never the middle school. Virag said it is not easy for them to be chosen to come to America. She was surprised that not a single visa was turned down, however. “The ﬁrst year we did this, not one of them got turned down, which was amazing because they never get approved 100 percent. These kids, now knowing that this program is in existence, they are really beeﬁng up their English skills because it’s a competition to get to come over here,” Virag said. “There are 2,000 kids in their school, and only 21 got to come this year, so you can imagine they are taking extra classes in English. First, they have to volunteer to come and then they have to compete, so if there are 100 that sign up, they have to compete with their English to be able to

come over.” Welker, in speaking to one of the Chinese student’s teachers, said he was told that after middle school is completed in China, tests are given and the top 10 percent of students move on to high school. “Those students who do not attend our equivalent of high school will receive other kinds of training to become employable in the workforce,” Welker wrote in his weekly community email. “From there, roughly 50 percent will ever get into college. With that comes a great deal of stress. Can you imagine the pressure on kids and parents when life begins to close doors for you at the age of 14? On the ﬂip side, students are very serious, and it shows on their achievement levels. “It is very easy to become jaded and resistant to the often ham-handed attempts by policymakers to drive up test scores. They see the gaps in the performance of our students internationally, and they are concerned with America’s position in the global marketplace. Not everything that a child learns can be measured on tests, however, you cannot ignore the academic results of students around the world who attend school for more hours and more days than American students. I think we need to ﬁnd a balance that raises academic goals for our kids while maintaining that creative and independent mind that has made America great.

Local man had ﬁrst-hand view of 1965 Inauguration By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com The celebration of Barack Obama’s second inauguration will be held Monday, Jan. 21 – which is also a national holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King – so, many Americans may have the day off and be able to watch the festivities. Many more can log on and watch on their computers or smartphones. President Obama will actually take the oath of ofﬁce for his second term at 11:55 a.m. on Sunday in the Blue Room of the White House. According to inauguralscholar.com, the 20th Amendment to the Constitution changed the beginning of a presidential term from March 4 to January 20, requiring that the President and Vice President be sworn in on that day. When Jan. 20 falls on a Sunday, as it does this year, precedent determines that a private swearing-in ceremony be held for

the President and Vice President on Sunday to fulﬁll the requirements of the Constitution. Large crowds and international media coverage are expected for Monday’s public ceremony, which will be held on the National Mall. Crowds ﬂocking to Washington, Jim Clark D.C. to watch inauguration ceremonies are nothing new. Back on Jan. 20, 1965, an estimated 1.2 million attended the inauguration of President Lyndon B. Johnson – a record holder for any event held at the National Mall until the Obama inauguration in 2009. Area native L. Cpl. Jim Clark had an “up-close-and-personal” view of the festivities.

Clark, a Marine stationed at Quantico, Va., drove a Toledo-made Kaiser Jeep in the Inaugural Parade, getting a clear view of President Johnson as they passed the reviewing stand. (Fun fact: During the parade, LBJ took his pet beagle into the reviewing stand – the ﬁrst presidential dog known to have played such a role.) The then-22-year-old Clark, a graduate of Gibsonburg High School, had a top secret clearance, and did work on the Presidential helicopters. Clark drove one of several Jeeps specially made for the Inaugural Parade. “There were blue, white and red ones,” he recalled. “I was part of the American Indian section of the parade,” he said. “My passenger was Chief Enos Poor Bear, Chief of the Oglala Sioux Nation, of South Dakota.” Clark recalls the streets being lined with people. “We were still in the aftermath of the assassination of President Kennedy,” he said. “And there were a lot of police and military personnel along the parade route.”

In fact, because of security concerns, Johnson was the ﬁrst President to ride in a bullet-proof car. Though he doesn’t have any photos of himself in the parade, he does have a letter of commendation from the Kaiser Jeep Company, presented to the service men for the efﬁcient and courteous manner in which they conducted themselves. “The Jeeps we drove were equipped with special inaugural license plates and everyone who participated was invited to take one of them home,” he said. “I had mine for several years, but after moving several times, I lost it.” After completing his military service, Clark took a job with UPS and stayed in the Washington, D.C. area. “My wife Phyllis worked for Congressman Del Latta – Bob Latta’s father – on the Hill there,” he said, adding. “Bob was just a little guy then. “While she was working for Mr. Latta, we got to meet three future presidents – George H.W. Bush, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan,” Clark said.

Your Voice on the Street: by Laura Norden

The Press Poll

If you could have lunch with anybody, who would it be and why?

The Woodville Mall was recently sold. What would you like to see at that property? The mall should be fixed up. The mall should be razed and a new one constructed. A “big box” store like Target, a sit down restaurant and a theater. Sarah Huss GM Clerk East Toledo “Paul McCartney from roughly 1964 when he was young and good looking. It’s The Beatles, they changed the face of music forever.”

“Ingrid Michaelson because she is my favorite singer.”

Grateful To the editor: It is with great sadness that I write this letter. It seems that no matter how many hours I put in on Village of Walbridge work, four council members think that my attendance at their meetings is more important. As such, they hired an attorney to research the applicability of an antiquated Ohio law that requires people elected to boards attend at least 60 percent of the meetings in any two-year period. Because I am one meeting short of the 60 percent, it has been determined that I have forfeited my position. Of course, none of them talked to me about this law beforehand, as it has always been their intention to try to get rid of me. When they were not able to do it at the voting booth, they went out to find another way, no matter what the residents of Walbridge wanted. It is no surprise they have done this, as the goal of these four members of council ever since they came together was to get me out of the mayor’s position. Who knows what drives them, but it is clear to me that they have not been happy with my drive to improve Walbridge through honesty, team-building, fair treatment for all, fiscal conservativeness, and running things like a business? With these obstacles to their agenda now removed, they can get on with what they want to do. I do however provide this caution to the village residents – please keep an eye on their actions. It would not surprise me that they intend to put people who have previously resigned from Walbridge due to “personal” reasons in positions of authority. You are all smart enough to know that when someone resigns for “personal” reasons, there is always something they are trying to hide. Also, one of the last things I did as mayor was to introduce a resolution asking our legislature to pass a law that requires all elected and appointed officials to be current on their taxes. This, I believe,

is critical to the proper running of any government. Why should someone who does not pay his or her own taxes be allowed to control the tax money of others? My guess is that our current council will not support this now that I am gone. I am happy to have served as mayor for more than 10 years and have only one regret – that I was not able to overcome some of the evil in the world so that I could continue to serve the residents and businesses as elected by the people. Dan Wilczynski Walbridge

Obscured facts To the editor: Re: “Other Opinions”, Jan. 14. Dave Lange, Editor Emeritus, Chagrin Valley Times, is entitled to his own opinions, but not his own facts. I’d like to offer a few points he obscured or neglected. Regarding Ft. Hood, Lange insinuated firearms were available to resist the murderous attack of Hasan. Not true. I, as a U.S. Army Military Police Lieutenant Colonel, served Ft. Hood as the mobilization Deputy Provost Marshal. Army posts have a lot of military weapons locked up in unit arms rooms, with the ammunition stored miles away. Only an on-duty Military Police Soldier or Department of the Army Civilian Police Officer may carry a loaded sidearm, i.e. none of the soldiers or their family members living in the barracks or post housing can. Every personal firearm must be registered and kept locked in the unit arms room or the soldier’s post housing. All Army posts are one giant gun-free zone. Gun-free is only for the law abiding. Hasan knew this and used it for his slaughter.

Lange’s claim that households with guns have decreased to less than 40 percent was without attribution (Gallup says 47 percent) and seems at odds with the ever increasing number of documented firearms sales and documented use of household firearms by their owners to protect themselves, often from previously convicted criminals, who have broken into their homes intent on robbery, rape or murder. The three homicides in churches were, just like a school, in gun-free zones. Like Ft. Hood, the killers knew this and used it. Of the incidents of murders of four or more Lange mentioned, “almost all of them” were actually in gun-free zones. Regarding the Sikh congregation murders, in a gun-free zone, he specifically wrote, “No similar incidents have been reported against that peace-loving religion in India, which has the largest Sikh population in the world.” Lange is either woefully ignorant of or attempts to artfully conceal the November 1984 murders of thousands of Sikhs, by their Indian government. He also neglected to mention the millions of civilian Kurds, Germans, Croats, Cambodians, Chinese, Turks and Russians murdered in cold blood by their own governments. There are clearly issues to address, but “journalists” playing fast and free with “facts” lend nothing to the discussion. John B. Fowler, LTC (retired) Oak Harbor

Army in Toledo. This year, our goal was raised to $62,000, and while we were up against obstacles such as not being able to ring as many days as we had in the past, we were still able to surpass our goal by raising $62,603.90. We were only able to achieve this goal because of the support of our community and bell-ringing volunteers of Ottawa County. The 662 bell-ringing volunteers of Ottawa County rang the bell for 1,324 hours. Congratulations to each and every bell ringer and donor in Ottawa County, for we could not have attained this unattainable goal without you. I was extremely pleased to have many of our Ottawa County high school and middle school groups get involved with bellringing and fundraising efforts this year. These young adults recognize the importance of giving back to our community. We even had bell ringers as young as 2 years old ringing the bell. From the toy collection boxes, Angel Tree tags, coat collections, mitten trees, toy donations and monetary gifts that were a steady stream in my ofﬁce from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31, I am, once again, speechless at the bigheartedness and overwhelming support we receive each year from the residents of Ottawa County. We received and distributed more than 1,200 coats this year through our Coats for Families Program and distributed more than 6,800 toys to nearly 1,700 children through our Toy Program. Without the generosity of the community and volunteers, we could not have served so many people in need in Ottawa County and these programs that the Salvation Army offer year-round, could not happen. It is with great pride and admiration that I am proud to say that I live in and work in Ottawa County. Maureen Saponari Director, the Salvation Army-Ottawa County

A true friendship is one of life’s precious gifts Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

A true friend won’t impose their own beliefs on you.

“

There’s a big difference between acquaintances and true friends. You can know many people, but only a few will qualify as true friends. It takes little effort to be with you when times are good and you are happy. However, if you look around when times are tough, you will see that your true friends are still by your side. A true friend is an irreplaceable gift. Life is ﬁlled with challenges and a true friend will stick by you through all of them. They have a knack for knowing what you need without your having to ask. A true friend is supportive without being judgmental. A true friend accepts you for who you are. They appreciate your good points and overlook your ﬂaws. They don’t try to change you. A true friend won’t impose their own beliefs on you. A true friend will not always agree with you. They are honest with you, having no problem speaking their mind. At times, they will tell you things you don’t like. But true friends are never malicious. They always have your best interests in mind. A true friend will not abandon you even if you treat them poorly. They overlook your shortcomings and appreciate your strengths. A true friend is patient with you

even when you are impatient with them. You can have complete trust in a true friend. You don’t have to impress them or prove who you are. They know you and accept you for who you are. They won’t turn

their back on you or shun you. A true friend isn’t perfect. They also have failings. True friendship isn’t always balanced. Sometimes one person requires more understanding, and sometimes the other. For true friendship to be sustained, both people must be true friends to each other. Friends are not something to accumulate. It’s not how many friends you have that is important, it is the quality of your friends that matters. Just one true friend is an invaluable gift. Dozens of friends that you can’t rely on are of little comfort when facing challenging circumstances. Although true friends have lots of great qualities, every individual has their own idiosyncrasies. A true friend will probably have quirks that you ﬁnd really annoying. Always keep things in perspective. It’s not worth jeopardizing a true friendship over minor, insigniﬁcant irritations. There are far too many situations where true friends become estranged over inconsequential issues. They may even wind up never again having any contact. It’s a real shame and a irreplaceable loss for both people when this occurs. Life’s challenges demand your attention. It’s easy to get distracted by problems.

When this happens, your focus is shifted away from the good things in your life and towards your difﬁculties. Although your troubles have to be dealt with, never neglect your true friends. Connecting with your true friends only when you have problems is no different than someone being there for you only when you are OK. Your true friends have needs that are as important to them as yours are to you. You must contribute to the relationship with your true friends regardless of your own circumstances. Don’t take your true friends for granted. A friendship requires input and energy from both people. It is all too easy to take someone for granted who is always there for you. As solid as your true friend may be, they still have feelings and sensitivities. You have to treat your true friends with as much consideration and concern as they show for you.

A cautionary tale

Hire your own attorney when sharing property with family

Common use: A way for a homeowner to pass a home to his or her children or a significant other without going through probate while granting the homeowner the right to live in the home or control the property during the remainder of his or her life. Responsibilities: The owner of a life estate (called the life tenant) still makes repairs and pays the mortgage, property taxes and insurance unless some other agreement is put in place. Problems: Home cannot be easily sold. Disagreements about use and condition of the property can arise. While there can be some tax savings, a life estate lacks flexibility in managing assets available with a trust.

and one that is “questionably enforceable.” He said the term “nonexclusive right to use” would allow both parties to use the driveway and garage as either saw ﬁt and that the Woods could transfer that right to someone else should they decide to move and rent, which they did. The Woods took their case to Wood County Common Pleas Court. On February 11, Judge Robert Pollex found that both parties breached the original agreement. He modiﬁed the agreement to grant the Woods exclusive use of the barn and the Caswells exclusive use of the garage. He ordered that the Woods could not block the driveway to the garage. Despite being armed with this new document, Caswell said the Woods and the tenants they later rented to still interfered with his right to use the driveway and garage. He says his attempts to exercise those rights by documenting cars blocking the drive, clearing snow from the front of the garage and trying to get the police to enforce his rights resulted in his arrests and a charge of disorderly conduct. Caswell, 84, is a retired teacher. He talks loudly and is animated with his gestures. His mannerisms can lead some to misunderstand his intentions.

What is a Life Estate?

“

...but I don’t think this is one of those situations where you can ﬁght an emotional argument with logic…

“

Jim Caswell’s generous gift to his daughter cost him thousands of dollars and led to his arrest. How could a good deed go so wrong? Let’s start with the good deed. In 2002, Caswell’s daughter, Joyce Woods, was living in Colorado with her husband Bill. They wanted to move back here, and Caswell, along with his wife Kathleen, wanted to help out. They gifted their daughter two lots on Kearsley Street in Lake Township so they could build a new home. The lots were located directly behind the Caswell home which fronted Cramer Street. So far so good. The home was built and the Caswells were looking forward to getting reacquainted with their daughter, who was 56 at the time. But, it was not to be and their inability to share is a cautionary tale to others considering a legal document called a life estate. The Caswells deeded over the two lots on condition Jim Caswell would have access to a small barn and a garage located on the lots. He used these buildings for storage and to house his wood shop. An agreement was executed giving the Caswells “nonexclusive right to use, occupy and possess the two buildings” for their lifetimes. When they passed away, the buildings would become the property of Bill and Joyce Woods. Caswell believed this life estate would give him total control of the buildings. The Woods didn’t see it that way. Note the words “nonexclusive right to use”. At ﬁrst, the two families got along and shared the garage and barn then a series of disputes arose. The relationship deteriorated to the point that the Lake Township Police were called by either party at least seven times in 17 months to report indiscretions perpetrated by the other party. Caswell was charged with criminal damaging for scratching his daughter’s car by putting a ladder on it, criminal trespassing for shoveling snow in front of the garage and disorderly conduct for jacking up Bill Woods’ car and removing lug nuts. On June 12 he was charged with slapping the arm of a police ofﬁcer, a fourth-degree felony. Rebecca West-Estell, Caswell’s attorney, said some of these charges are bogus. “The problem Mr. Caswell is running into is the law enforcement community will not enforce his rights,” she said. They think it (the life estate) is dumb so they don’t enforce it.” Richard Koehn, an Oregon attorney, reviewed the life estate agreement for The Press. He called it a “terrible agreement”

ning into now is that he’s so frustrated that whenever he encounters the police he is less cooperative than they would like him to be…he ends up on the short end of the stick and that’s frustrating for him because some of those times he wasn’t doing anything wrong….It’s been this way for almost two years now.” Mark Hummer, Lake Township Police Chief, agrees with Caswell’s attorney, to a point. “We were caught in the middle of this. It took us a little off guard when the property disputes ﬁrst started. Mr. Caswell is very intelligent but I don’t think this is one of those situations where you can ﬁght an emotional argument with logic… In my

R & D Collectibles Gun Sales & Accessories

opinion you could look at it (the life estate agreement) two ways. It was either total access on that driveway and total control of that property, or a lifetime estate or easement to access that garage…It’s almost set up for failure if the parties don’t get along.” Chief Hummer also holds a real estate license and is a commercial property manager. This is the first life estate he has seen. However, a life estate is a common way to transfer property while retaining use of that property. Koehn said it is typically used when an elderly parent transfers a home to an heir but keeps the right to live in that home until time of death. Koehn says Caswell’s troubles started with the poorly-worded agreement and the clause “nonexclusive right to use.” The attorney who wrote the agreement represented both parties and was brought to the table by the Woods. This is the cautionary note to those who are considering a life estate with adult children—hire your own attorney. Caswell wishes he would have done that. Nevertheless, he still feels wronged. He said, “I’m fighting for my civil rights. Lake Township won’t give me my civil rights. That’s my property and, damn it, I’m entitled to protection for it. I’m entitled to use my property as I see fit.” Attempts were made by phone and email to contact Bill and Joyce Woods and the attorney who wrote the original agreement. All failed The Woods have moved to Nevada and the house is currently vacant. They cannot sell the property without Caswell’s permission, but they will receive clear title upon his death. Meanwhile, Caswell will keep fighting for what he believes are his civil rights. His fight is a lonely one. His wife of 66 years, Kathleen, passed away in 2011. “She was my life,” Caswell says. He admits this ongoing dispute created a lot of stress in her last year of life and continues to create stress in his. “So far, it’s made me loud and mouthy and I got no one to vent on.” Comment at zoz@presspublications.com

Are you a health care walking encyclopedia? No Bones About It.

by Ken Chisholm

RN; BS; CNOR; CRNFA; OPA

“

First, create a list of everything you know...

“

It has become increasingly evident throughout my 36 years in healthcare that people, as they get older, have increasing difficulty keeping all their personal medical/health information straight in their heads. First of all, your head isn’t where you should be trying to keep all your current and past health information, at least not as your primary location anyway. Most people, when asked by their health care provider, can rattle off most if not all of the very pertinent medical history, from childhood diseases to surgeries, conditions, medications and allergies. However, as we get older, it’s harder to recall the what, when and where about our healthcare history – and this information becomes more vital as we age. So, how can you get your medical information in order in a way you can get at it and have ready for others? Well, the first thing to do is accept the fact that you absolutely cannot assume others value your personal health information like you do, nor is keeping an updated list of medications, surgeries and important family medical history high on anyone else’s list of priorities. It is up to you. Ok, now we’re in the right frame of mind to begin. First, create a list of everything you know and remember pertaining to your medical and health history, as far back as you can remember. You can fill in any gaps later. Try your best to include immunizations, medications and dosages, conditions, diseases and other diagnoses, surgical procedures as well as others such as colonoscopies, eye examinations, preventative screenings etc. And don’t forget to list any and all allergies, as well as what happened to you when

you had the reaction – swollen lips/tongue, rash, hives, breathing difﬁculties etc. The information goes a long way in determining if you had a bona ﬁde “anaphylactic” reaction, which is potentially deadly or even fatal, versus less serious “adverse effects or side effects.” An example of this would be “when I take morphine I get sick,” or “I can’t take codeine because it binds me up.” This is not an allergic reaction, but more an adverse effect or “side effect” of a drug. Next, develop a plan as to how you will acquire and catalog the information you need and have at home. Then, develop a plan to acquire what information you need that isn’t readily available at home in your possession. This may involve calling various physicians and/or facilities that have recently cared for you and request copies of tests, x-ray reports, current diagnoses (i.e. hypertension, heart failure, high cholesterol etc.), procedures and operative records.

You’ll no doubt be required to sign releases to obtain this information and this can often be accomplished by mail, email or fax. You may also need to personally pick up your information copies. You have the right to this information and don’t let anyone else try to convince you otherwise. Once you have mastered this phase, it’s time to concentrate on your family history. This should include information on both sides of your family, father/mother, grandparents etc. Many hereditary conditions, for example, can “skip generations” or affect female offspring/descendants more than male. Try to get as speciﬁc as possible, such as why Aunt Hazel died at 45 years old, or why Uncle Harry on my mother’s side lived to 101. Many types of cancers can have their roots traced in this manner and some types can place daughters/granddaughters at increased risks (i.e. breast/ovarian cancers). By being as comprehensive as possible, family health patterns can become apparent and can provide valuable information to physicians. Now, after you have spent all this energy acquiring this information, you need to create a safe and accessible location for accessing it whenever the need arises. Storing large amounts of papers in a box, while accessible, isn’t especially practical, particularly if you want to take the information with you for any reason (i.e. vacation or relocation). There are many new products available in the marketplace that allow for electronic storage of this information. Some items can be as simple as a ﬂash drive, however look for one with proper privacy protection capabilities. Other more sophisticated devices can store large amounts of information, and yet be privacy protected. These options allow a person to take their information with them when traveling or

relocating and also offer quick and easy access to the information at a moment’s notice, such as in an emergency room. Most of these devices will allow for updating as you receive more current care. The key here, is to compile as much important information as possible and have it readily accessible. This can help improve health care by reducing duplication of prescriptions by different doctors, inadvertent alterations of dosages or even the prescribing of the wrong medication for your needs. In an emergency, having ready access to healthcare information may just save your life. The new health care laws (a.k.a. “Obamacare”) are supposed to be designed to make access to your information available anytime, anywhere. The problem here is that, up to now, there have been signiﬁcant problems with the inability of different EHR (Electronic Health Record) software programs to communicate with other programs, and until this gets resolved, odds are it will be difﬁcult to impossible to access your information beyond the local level. Sounds like a lot of work? Sure does. The alternative though, is not having valuable information when you need it, and need it quickly. Do you want to run the risk, especially as we get older and suffer the indignities of memory lapses? You be the judge.

Aging Dept.’s nursing home survey revised to offer better data important choices we may have to make in our adult lives. This survey and Ohio’s Long-term Care Consumer Guide are important tools for families who expect, and deserve, excellence,” said Bonnie KantorBurman, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. “The survey and the guide emphasize our commitment to quality care. Consumers must be fully informed about their options if we are to expect that they will, in turn, demand excellence for themselves or their family members.” The family satisfaction survey was conducted between May and December 2012 by the Scripps Gerontology Center of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, on behalf of the Ohio Department of Aging and under the direction of the Office of the State Longterm Care Ombudsman. More than 27,000 family members and 948 homes participated. Of the 721 participating homes with statistically significant results, 387 scored above the state average and 229 scored 88 or better, which earns them an additional “quality point” in a reimbursement formula used by the Office of

Selecting a nursing home that can provide the right care...

“

The Ohio Department of Aging has released the results of the 2012 Nursing Home Family Satisfaction Survey, which was revised last year to increase participation and deliver better data. The survey is designed to measure how satisﬁed family members of Ohioans who live in nursing homes are with the care and services their loved ones receive. The satisfaction ratings are available on the Ohio Long-term Care Consumer Guide at www.ltcohio.org. The Consumer Guide includes other information about nursing homes and residential care facilities, including inspection results, a list of available services, stafﬁng levels, results of resident surveys and more. According to the ODA, the survey is a valuable tool for individuals to help select a nursing home that best meets their needs. The statewide average satisfaction score for facilities was 85.6 (out of a possible 100); 25 facilities scored 93.76 or better. “Selecting a nursing home that can provide the right care in the right ways for ourselves or a loved one is one of the most

Medical Assistance (Medicaid) to reward quality in nursing homes. Survey costs are supported by a fee charged to nursing homes by the state. This year, the department revised the survey to better capture the needs and ideas of families. “This survey reﬂects our increased focus on person-centered care and caring and our new quality-based reimbursement formula. We expected that these changes may have an impact on the statewide average. We are especially pleased with the larger than-usual response rate

and are gratiﬁed by the number of families who are so involved with their loved ones’ care.” “In addition to assisting families in choosing quality, person-centered nursing homes, this survey also is a tool to help long-term care administrators and staff improve the care and services they provide,” added Beverley Laubert, the State of Ohio Long-term Care Ombudsman. “Staff, residents, families, advocates and state leaders continue to work together to ensure choice, respect and self-determination for all, regardless of where they call ‘home.’” The survey asked family members their opinions on activities, administration, admission, choices, direct care and nursing, laundry, meals and dining, social services, therapy and general satisfaction. Researchers identiﬁed two key questions that sum up the respondent’s perception of the home: “Overall, do you like this facility?” and “Would you recommend this facility to a family member or friend?” The department will survey resident satisfaction again in 2013.

Flu outbreak prompts reminder from senior care experts This flu season is shaping up to be one of the worst in decades – with the Centers for Disease Control already reporting widespread outbreaks in many states. While anyone can get the flu, seniors are especially susceptible to the virus and are at greater risk for serious flu-related complications that can lead to hospitalization and even death. Ninety percent of flurelated deaths and more than half of flu-related hospitalizations occur in people age 65 and older. “The flu can be very dangerous for seniors, so we are concerned about this re-

cent outbreak,” said Jeff Huber, president of Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care® franchise network. “We encourage seniors and their families to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the virus.” To fight the flu, senior care experts recommend the following: Get a flu shot: Experts strongly encourage all seniors and those in frequent contact with seniors to get vaccinated if they haven’t already done so. Medicare covers one vaccine per flu season. Practice good handwashing: Wash

Kent State’s Witt going up against the heavyweights By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Keith Witt won a Division II state title at 171 pounds for Oak Harbor in 2008. When he arrived on the Kent State campus a few months later to wrestle for the Golden Flashes, high school suddenly felt like a distant memory. His weight ballooned to 220 pounds his freshman year and he ended up redshirting that season. “I was really out of shape,” said Witt, now a fifth-year senior. “I was training with the team all year round. I wasn’t in my top form. It was my first year of college and my body wasn’t in the best form it could be. It wasn’t like I gained any good weight. I was dumpy and not in the best shape.” The 6-foot Witt decided to drop 50 pounds and compete at 174 pounds as a redshirt freshman in 2009-10 and ended up doing very well. He finished with a 21-9 record after starting the season 8-6, recorded 10 pins and placed second at the Mid-American Conference Championships. He also earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships, where he lost both matches. “That (174) was the best weight for me at the time,” Witt said. “I felt good throughout the season.” Witt moved up to 184 pounds a year later and went 15-9 with seven pins, second most on the team. He bumped up to 197 last season and had great success, winning a MAC title and earning another automatic bid to the NCAA Championships, where he went 0-2 again. Witt is finishing out his wrestling career this season by competing at 285 pounds. It is a weight class that often has Witt, who weighs 225 pounds, going head to head against much larger wrestlers. He has an 11-11 record so far this season. “It’s different,” Witt said. “It’s definitely a different style of wrestling compared to any other. At heavyweight, guys are a lot bigger and stronger. I lifted a lot last summer to try to get stronger to get some weight on. I was able to do that. I’m trying to get used to the weight class; it’s moving along.” Witt said one reason he moved up to

Keith Witt (Oak Harbor/Kent State) stares down an opponent. (Photo courtesy of KSU sports information) 285 was because the Flashes have the topranked 197-pounder in the country in ﬁfthyear senior Dustin Kilgore, a former NCAA champion who redshirted last year in order to train at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado. “It was better for the team for me to go up there (285),” Witt said, “and it was an opportunity for me to be in the starting lineup my last year. Once you get up to 197 and heavyweight, it’s a total difference in wrestling than at the lighter weights. Guys are so much stronger and bigger.” Witt, a four-time state tournament

qualiﬁer who compiled a 151-32 career record at Oak Harbor, said he tries to use his scrambling ability when he faces bigger, stronger competition. “I feel like I’m a better scrambler,” he said. “I can out-quick them if they get on my legs and I can try to scramble out of it. I have that advantage over them. I feel if I can get to the second period with a 0-0 score, I can win the match because I feel I’m better on top than the bigger guys. That tends to go to my advantage in most of my matches. Most of my losses have come against guys (ranked) in the top 20.”

Witt, 23, is trying his best to qualify for his third trip to the NCAA Championships before he graduates in May with a degree in justice studies. “I’d like to get to the national tournament, get to the round of 12 and try to get All-American (top eight),” said Witt, who has been wrestling since age 5. “I’m just training hard the last few months of my career and we’ll see what happens. I’m actually kind of excited to see what I’m going to do after college. I’m trying to ﬁnd a job and see where life takes me. I’m going to miss wrestling, but it hasn’t hit me yet, I guess.”

Not cutting weight does Silva’s body, mind good By Mark Grifﬁn Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Eddie Silva is feeling like himself again, and that’s proving to be a tough go for his wrestling opponents. This was a typical day in the life of the Clay senior last year, when he competed at 170 pounds: Go to school. Wrestling practice at 4 p.m. Go home and eat a little dinner. Work out again “to lose what I just ate,” Silva said, adding that he didn’t feel he was obsessed about his weight. This season, as a 195-pounder, Silva can eat whatever he wants. Pretty much. “I can eat the night before (a match) and still come in two pounds under,” said Silva, whose normal weight is around 195 pounds. Silva said that instead of trying to compete at the next weight class up from 170, 182 pounds, he wanted to get on the mat at his normal weight this season. It’s paying off. He has a 24-4 record and has placed second at the Clyde Invitational and fourth

at the Brecksville Invitational. “I like how I don’t have to cut weight,” Silva said. “I feel a lot better. Last year I cut like eight pounds a week. I’m having a pretty good year. I’m feeling pretty good about it and I’m not surprised. Not cutting weight, I feel energized. I can get into the sport more and I can have fun with it more. I could make the cut to 182, but I don’t think I could do as well as I’m doing right now.” A three-year starter, Silva went 32-6 a year ago and won the Three Rivers Athletic Conference title at 170 pounds. His junior season, however, ended in heartbreak. He won a sectional title but placed fifth at the rugged Division I district tournament, which included teams such as eventual D-I state champion Lakewood St. Edward. Fifth place didn’t get Silva to the state tournament. He was an alternate and accompanied his Eagles teammates to Columbus for the big dance. “I lost my first match (at districts) and had to come back to the consolation semifinals, and I lost again,” Silva said. “I was

trying to go for better. It was ﬁne. I got to see what state looked like for the ﬁrst time. For me that was like, ‘I want to be here next year.’ ” Second-year Clay coach Ralph Cubberly, who has sent his share of wrestlers to the state tournament, knows just the recipe Silva needs to use on the mat if he plans to qualify for the state tourney as a senior. “Eddie is a ‘light’ 195-pounder who has to utilize and continue to improve his conditioning in order to wear out his opponents,” Cubberly said. “He needs to employ a non-stop style, trying to tire out and wear his opponent out so he can score in the later periods of matches.” Silva said, “A lot of opponents are stronger than me, so I have to wear them out. I have be on their head and constantly move them to score on them. I’m very focused this year. I work hard every day at practice, and coach Cubberly pushes us every day to keep that mentality.” Cubberly added that Silva is a good

team leader who knows when to get down and dirty on the mat and when to take a deep breath and enjoy himself. “Eddie is a fun kid to have around,” the coach said. “He likes to joke and make people laugh, but when it’s time to work, he’s all business. Eddie is a hard working kid who is goal driven. He wants to place at the state tournament. He is a great teammate who leads by example.” Silva, who plans to study electrical engineering in college - his dad, Edward Sr., is an electrical engineer – admitted he enjoys showing the juniors and sophomores the right way to practice. His goal is to get on the awards podium in Columbus in early March. “I’m going for top three. That’s my goal,” he said. “It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. It is tough at 195, and my district is tough. I’m energized for the rest of the season.”

It’s been a long time coming for Oak Harbor boys basketball. After winning a combined 21 games in the previous seven seasons, the Rockets appear to have things headed in the right direction as they’ve started the year 7-5 and are 4-2 in the Sandusky Bay Conference, good for third in the league. What’s the reason for the turnaround? Quite simply, the team has a renewed spirit for the game that is based upon their work ethic and desire to turn around a once-proud program that has fallen on hard times recently. Coach Eric Sweet, who took over before the 2011-12 season, is the fifth coach Oak Harbor had in 10 years. In high school, he was coached by his father, David, a legend in Ohio high school basketball circles. Dave Sweet was at the helm at OttawaGlandorf from 1980-2006. His teams went 449-161 (.736) over 26 years and won a Division II state title in 2005. Eric went on to play collegiately at Bluffton University. Eric Sweet has tried to take some of what he learned from his father and instill that within his kids. “I’ve been pretty blunt with my kids,” Sweet said. “I told them that Oak Harbor is perceived a certain way. We’ve won 21 games and finished last or second-to-last in the league the last seven years. The only way to change things is by working your tail off. “It’s about putting in the time, effort and focus in for change. You can’t hope for change, you have to make it happen. Their job is to come in and practice hard and play hard, and they’ve done that for me. My job is to draw up some plays, put in some good sets and prepare them and put them in the best situation. These kids have bought into the fact that you’ve got to put forth the effort. If you put a lot of time and effort into it, you’ll get rewarded.” The team is led by the senior trio of

around. Before games, we talk about getting this program moving, and we’re working our tails off. When you’re working hard, you’re winning games.” The Rockets primarily employ a three guard system that features a starting lineup of Haar and Cecil in the backcourt with sophomore Cole Weirich, Wiegand and Josh Sarahman in the frontcourt at power forward and center positions. The team also has four consistent contributors off the bench in guards Andy Rathbun Eric Sweet and Derek Wood and forwards Sam Laderach and Andrew A.J. Cecil, Greg Haar and Austin Wiegand, Benner.

Northwood resident voted stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Player of the Week By Mark GrifďŹ n Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Eric Cellier has had tough acts to follow at Toledo Christian High School. Not only did his brother, Adam, help the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team reach the regional tournament in his playing days, but his sister, Emily, scored more than 1,300 points during her career at TC. With siblings like that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention having a father, Doug, who is a former wrestler â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see why Eric will do whatever it takes to succeed on the basketball court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We certainly expect him to be an all-league player for us,â&#x20AC;? Toledo Christian coach Dave McWhinnie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those kids who gives effort all the time. He loves the game and has a passion for the game unlike any player Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to say a whole lot to motivate him. He just plays hard. He wants us to win every game.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surprise to anyone who knows Cellier, who lives in Northwood, that he took the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loss to Lake this season so hard. TC has since reeled off 10 straight wins since that season-opening 44-41 loss and is 5-0 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Against Lake, everyone was out of the locker room and he still had a towel on his head,â&#x20AC;? McWhinnie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wants to win every game. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Coach, this canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an incredibly determined young man. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a kid I have to say a whole lot to to motivate because he wants it as bad as anybody. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anything get in the way of his goals.â&#x20AC;? Lake, which is now 12-1, held Cellier to just seven points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was probably the worst game of my career,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That loss was devastating. We came into the season with high expectations, and to start the season off like that was not how we planned. We had a goal to go undefeated. It was so hard, not just the loss but the way I played individually. If I had played better, we could have won.â&#x20AC;? Through 11 games Cellier, a 6-foot-2

Toledo Christian senior Eric Cellier and Cardinal Stritch sophomore Austin Adams (21), another Northwood resident, battle for a rebound as Stritch junior Brooks Gasser (12) looks on. (Press photo by Doug Karns/KateriSchools. org) guard, was averaging 20.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.6 steals a game. He was shooting 57 percent from two-point range, 37 percent from 3-point range and 76 percent from the free throw line. Last Friday, in the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 82-38 demolition of Emmanuel Christian, Cellier

scored a career-high 40 points despite sitting out the fourth quarter. His previous career high was 27 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt great,â&#x20AC;? said Cellier, who shot 17-of-24 from the ďŹ eld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started with my teammates. We pressed the whole game, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out in front of our press and I was

getting layups. I got a couple short buckets for my ďŹ rst 11 points and I had 18 in the ďŹ rst six minutes. Once I got that, I knew I had something going. Once I got to 30, my teammates were trying to get me 40. A lot of that goes to my teammates and my coaches.â&#x20AC;? Last week Cellier was voted the State Player of the Week in a poll conducted by the JJ Huddle website. He was nominated by McWhinnie and won the honor after scoring 26 points against Ottawa Hills and 24 against Van Buren. He shot a combined 16-for-17 from the ďŹ eld and free throw line against Ottawa Hills, and 9-of-11 from the ďŹ eld against Van Buren. Cellier said winning the JJ Huddle poll was â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesome.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting anything to come out of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach told me I was nominated. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a person to get people to vote for me, but I told three or four of my friends in the TAAC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one was on the team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to vote for me and they blew it up. From them, I got a couple thousand (votes). People on Facebook I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know posted it. It got kind of ridiculous.â&#x20AC;? McWhinnie said Cellier, who has a 3.5 GPA, has been the consumate leader for a team that usually features ďŹ ve senior starters. The Eagles were the preseason pick to win the TAAC title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a tremendous leader in the classroom and on the court,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys will follow his lead. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of the guys who helped organize our morning workouts this fall. He has the ability to shoot, and he has the unique ability to ďŹ nish around the rim, have a mid-range game and shoot 3-point shots. The biggest difference this year is heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten a lot stronger. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more crisp on his moves.â&#x20AC;? Cellier hopes to play basketball at the Division III level next year, but he has some unďŹ nished business with the Eagles this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really close,â&#x20AC;? he said of his teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was nervous about our chemistry early in the year. You could tell at the beginning of the season it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that good, especially with our press, but as the season has gone on weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to get better and people know their roles a lot better.â&#x20AC;?

Comet grapplers claim league dual title, to host state duals By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Genoa wrestlers swept their way to a perfect 7-0 league record, claiming their second consecutive Northern Buckeye Conference dual championship as they ripped Otsego by a score of 56-6. In addition, Genoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrestling program will have the honor of hosting the ďŹ rst round of the OHSAA State Dual Tournament on January 23. The top two teams in each sub region were given the opportunity to host. So why is Genoa continuing its dominance in the NBC and one of the two top teams in the region? Perhaps it is things like the Challenge leadership program the Comets attended recently at the University of Toledo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The leadership staff at the UT Rec Center led our wrestling team through high and low initiative exercises that focused on building morale, enhancing decision making, while providing a challenging environment to gel our team together,â&#x20AC;? Coach Bob

Bergman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The course challenged our wrestlers to take risks and overcome barriers both mentally and physically. Wrestlers learned how to work cooperatively to achieve common goals and tasks,â&#x20AC;? Bergman continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guys really seemed to enjoy the multiple challenges and obstacles they took part in. It was nice to take a break from the grind of our wrestling schedule and do something together as a team. It was neat to see our boys out of their element working together as a team. Wrestling builds a lot of character, but dangling from a rope 40 feet off the ďŹ&#x201A;oor reveals it.â&#x20AC;? The UT Challenge program is created not just for athletic teams, but for UT student organizations, corporate groups, special events, staff trainings, retreats, civic and service organizations, youth groups, and other high school and middle school groups. They had considered taking the wrestlers to a leadership course at the University of Michigan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris Rawski, who teaches at Genoa and is softball coach at Oak Harbor and

is a good friend, mentioned at (Sylvania) Southview they did a team building course at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and we were looking to go up there, but UT was closer and cheaper, so we decided to go there,â&#x20AC;? Bergman said. Dom Demilio, a longtime biddy coach who also is on the high school coaching staff, is a University of Toledo employee and was the one who mentioned that they had just begun a similar program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Demilio) mentioned that they have a leadership course,â&#x20AC;? Bergman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were talking about doing a non-wrestling event during the year to kind of break up the monotony, and Toledo just started one. I think we were the third program to go through.â&#x20AC;? The clinic is put on by the Student Recreation Center staff to teach climbers the basics of climbing. After successfully completing the clinic, climbers may purchase a climb card. This allows climbers to climb and belay with a partner during open climb hours. Besides the rope climbing, there were obstacle courses, exercises where wrestlers

had to go through hoops, exercises where they were blind-folded, and Bergman said it was all for â&#x20AC;&#x153;trust and leadership, learning to deal with peer pressure, and giving all the kids a chance to learn creativity and problem solving.â&#x20AC;? Bergman said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They loved it. They really enjoyed the challenges. The camaraderie was pretty cool. It was mostly hands on. They did a recap at the end in the classroom about team and trust and what they learned about leadership. It was well done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It deďŹ nitely helps them bond and see everything in kind of a new light. We have about 24 on the team, and about four of them got up to the top level. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about seeing what they are made of and what they are willing to attempt. It was really tough and demanding. It was both a mental and physical workout as well, and their arms were all sore. It was a workout on multiple levels.â&#x20AC;? During the last hour of the ďŹ ve-hour session, and team went swimming and diving at the rec center, in part because the rock wall had already been reserved by a university student organization.

Oregon Schools hires Mike Vicars as Clay football coach By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Former Genoa and Delta football coach Mike Vicars looks well on his way to being Clay’s next football coach. “We are recommending that Mike Vicars be our next football coach, and that will be on the board agenda for Tuesday’s meeting. We’re extremely excited about it,” Oregon Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Zalar said. “We are looking to hire him as the new junior high assistant principal, so he’s going to be at Fassett as the new assistant principal, which is a new position that is being created because of the reconfiguration next year.” Vicars was the Comets’ head coach Mike Vicars for tfive years and instantly turned around the once-proud program’s losing ways. Genoa reached the state playoffs in all five of Vicars’ years as coach. The Comets won the last four Suburban Lakes League titles before relinquishing the inaugural Northern Buckeye Conference title to Eastwood his last season as head coach there. Genoa had a 56-7 record under Vicars and won 48 straight regular-season games before losing to Eastwood in a heartbreaker in 2011. The Comets were 13-0 in 2008 before losing to eventual Division IV state champion Kettering Alter in the state semifinals. Vicars was an assistant last year under his long time staff member, Tim Spiess, who became a head coach for the first time at Genoa. “This is perfect,” Zalar said. “Mike already lives in Oregon. I’ve been watching him for the last 15 years. When I was principal out at Patrick Henry, he was at Delta, so I saw what he did with a group of ordinary kids and turned them into extraordinary teams. He did the same thing at Genoa. We’re hoping that he can work his magic in Oregon. We are going to support him and everything he needs to be successful. The fact that he’s taken a year out of being head coach, I think he is reenergized. It took him a little while to kind of get his brain wrapped around it again, but

Schmidt forwarded to The Press this comment from a city league ofﬁcial, “The two schools we have been in conversations with for months. We will continue to schedule games for next year with both teams but they will be non conference games. Additionally, we will continue to have conversations about possible inclusion into the City League.” Currently, Waite is joined by Rogers, Start, Woodward, Bowsher, and Scott to make up the six-member City League.

Record-setters In Clay girls basketball team’s 65-51 win over St. Ursula, the team set a school record by making 41 free throws, which puts the team second in Ohio’s girls allstate record book. They are only the second team ever in Ohio to make more than 40 free throws in one game. Kayla Schaefer made 19, which puts her tied for 20th in the state record book and set a new Clay girls’ school record. The Eagles followed by losing a heartbreaker to Sylvania Southview, 56-52, in overtime. They are now 4-11 overall and 2-5 in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference heading into last weekend’s play.

In the Bible, there is a story about Jesus And His disciples being in a boat on a lake when a fierce storm suddenly arrives, and their boat is in danger of sinking.

Then He got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop, and there was a great calm. (Matthew 8:23-26) I wonder what would have happened if the disciples had not awakened Jesus during the storm.

Cat owners urged to “Beat the Heat” Warmer weather may still be months away, but Humane Ohio wants pet “parents” to “Beat the Heat” by spaying their female cats in advance of their heat cycles and preventing unwanted litters from being born this spring. Animal shelters commonly refer to spring time as “kitten season” because that is when they receive the largest numbers of unwanted litters that are difﬁcult to adopt. To help reduce the number of homeless cats born this spring, Humane Ohio is offering a special “Beat the Heat” promotion sponsored by PetSmart Charities®. During the entire month of February, the non-proﬁt organization will spay owned female cats for the special rate of $20.

Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population. While some worry that their pet may be too young for this procedure, spaying and neutering is safe for kittens as young as eight weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, and Humane Ohio will fix kittens at this age as long as they weigh at least two pounds. “Female cats can have as many as three litters a year, and kittens can breed as young as four months old,” according to Jill Borkowski, Humane Ohio marketing director. “Most people don’t want to see their cat get pregnant over and over again, so hopefully our ‘Beat the Heat campaign will serve as a gentle reminder to cat owners to fix their cats before they go into heat and become pregnant this year.” The special “Beat the Heat” rate is even less than the non-profit organization’s normal low-cost spay/neuter price and is available to all residents of Ohio and Michigan. Cat parents who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the “Beat the Heat” promotion when they schedule their appointment.

Award-winning costume designer to speak at museum In conjunction with the exhibition “Made in Hollywood: Photographs from the John Kobal Foundation,” award-winning costume designer Vinilla “Vin” Burnham will give a free presentation Sunday, Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. at the Toledo Museum of Art Peristyle. The presentation, titled “Touching the Stars: Costume Design from the Covent Garden to Hollywood,” will focus on Burnham’s work for feature ﬁlms, theater, opera, ballet and television. In addition to designing Lady Gaga’s “Living Dress,” Burnham is the talent behind the Batsuit, the Penguin and Catwoman costumes for “Batman Returns.” She also is known for her “creature” creations, including creatures for Jim Henson’s Creature Shop in London as well as Aslan the Lion for the BBC production of “The Chronicles of Narnia.” The designer recently launched “The Little Costume Shop,” a collection of intricately detailed miniatures of opera and ballet costumes, which are housed at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden. The “Touching the Stars” presentation is cosponsored by the Museum and the Ballet Theatre of Toledo.

Jan. 20 also is the last day to see “Made in Hollywood.” Throughout January, tickets to the exhibition are $4 each for nonmembers. Admission for museum members is free. “Made in Hollywood” showcases more than 90 prints by the most important photographers working in Hollywood from 1920 to 1960 and highlights classic images of idols such as Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart. The exhibition celebrates the ﬁnest portraits and still photography drawn from the London-based archive of late author and collector John Kobal. The touring exhibition was organized in 2008 by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. TMA is its ﬁnal stop. The local showing of “Made in Hollywood” is made possible by the Toledo Museum of Art members and sponsored in part by Taylor Cadillac. The exhibition and related special programs are supported in part by the Ohio Arts Council’s sustainability grant program funded by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. The museum is located at 2445 Monroe St. at Scottwood Avenue. For general information, call 800-644-6862, or visit toledomuseum.org.

Colors, shapes, and textures help to create a winter garden By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com Well, here we are in the cold, doldrums of winter. The holidays are past and the changing of the years has come and gone. Resolutions ﬁrmly made on New Year’s Eve are possibly already beginning to weaken. So often it seems, as someone once quipped, “A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.” But, how about making a resolution that will make next year more interesting in your yard or garden? A garden without winter interest is just a garden in winter. But a garden with winter interest is a “winter garden.” Color, unusual shapes, textures, and forms in the winter give a yard or garden appeal and beauty. Since your yard is going to be lying there all winter anyway, you might as well bring it to life with interesting trees, shrubs and perennials, which have unique qualities that are at their best in the winter. Picture yourself looking out at your yard on a bright, sunny, winter day. The ground is covered with a fresh layer of new-fallen snow. Against this white background, the red or yellow stems of a dogwood glow in a corner of the yard.

Get Growing The peels of bark on your Paperbark Maple have trapped small pockets of snow that shine crystal-white against the goldenred brown of the tree. In another corner, a Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick’s twisted, contorted branches are rimmed in white, making them look like a winter sculpture. And you can’t miss the bright, green boxwood hedge that edges your walk, now carpeted in white. Regardless of the temperature or the weather, this yard sings with color, texture and form. Add to this the busy activity of winter birds and small animals and you have lots of “winter interest.” There are a great variety of plants that can add beauty, charm, and interest to your garden. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, our area falls in Hardiness Zone 6. Here are just a few: Trees Paperbark Maple, A. griseum – dark outer bark peels back to reveal golden, red-

dens, (3-10). Candytuft, Iberis sempervirens – darkgreen, glossy foliage provide color, texture, and cascading form through the winter and blooms in early spring, (3-9). Dianthus, Dianthus plumaris, deltoides and gratianopolitanus – handsome, ﬁne-textured, evergreen foliage (5-7). Winter Aconite, Eranthis hyemalis – blooms with bright, deep-yellow, buttercup type blossoms in Feb. – March, (zones 5-6).

Shrubs and Bushes “Arctic Fire” Dogwood, C. sericea – thickly-stemmed and an intense red (zones 3-7). “Flavirama” Dogwood, C. sericea, – bright yellow stems (zones 3-7). Henry Lauder’s Walking Stick, Corylus contorta – displays bizarrely twisted, corkscrew like branches (zones 3-9). Pyracantha, clusters of yellow, orange, or red fruits through the winter American Cranberry, Viburnum trilobum – bright red fruits remain into late winter, (zones 4-6).

Ornamental Grasses There are many available ornamental grasses that can be added to the landscape for winter texture, form, and sound. Try some of these plants to make your yard and garden more interesting next winter with unusual shapes and textures and warm, cheery colors. Many of the plants in this list can be found at local nurseries and garden centers or through mail order sources. Some websites to try are: whiteﬂowerfarm.com, www. waysidegardens.com, www.heronswood. com and www.millernurseries.com.

Perennials Coneﬂower, Echinacea – dried seedheads give form and texture in winter gar-

Nationwide dental care to be no charge for children, teenagers

WENDY HESS YOUNG, M.T.

More than 150 elementary and high school students will benefit from free dental care at Owens Community College Friday, Feb. 1 as part of the nationwide observance of Give Kids A Smile Day Friday, Feb. 1. Throughout the day, Owens’ Dental Hygiene program, in collaboration with the Toledo Dental Society, will be offering dental services at no charge for children ages 6 months to 18 years who have limited or no access to care. Appointments will be held from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. at the college’s Dental Hygiene Clinic, located in Health Technologies Hall on the Toledo-area Campus in Perrysburg Township. Toledo Dental Society dentists and Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary will provide restorative treatments such as fillings and extraction. Give Kids A Smile Day is a national initiative by the American Dental Association designed to focus attention on the epidemic of untreated oral disease among disadvantaged children. It is held each February in conjunction with National Children’s Dental Health Month. “Owens Community College’s Dental Hygiene program is excited to once again participate in such a worthwhile endeavor and provide dental services to individuals in need,” said Beth Tronolone, Owens Chair of Dental Hygiene. “Give Kids A Smile Day is also a wonderful opportunity to raise the importance and awareness of preventive dental care such as flossing, brushing and regular dental visits. Our goal is give attendees a positive dental experience and help them feel comfortable smiling again.” Owens Dental Hygiene second-year students, faculty and alumni, and area dentists will be providing dental services, which will include dental education and screening, X-rays, cleanings, limited restorations and dental sealants.

Medicaid expansion in Ohio a ‘win-win-win?’ With just over two weeks until the governor’s expected announcement regarding the possible expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, a new study finds the state has much to gain by such an expansion. The non-partisan report finds Ohio stands to make $1.4 billion in savings and create over 30,000 jobs over the next decade while providing nearly 500,000 additional Ohioans with health coverage. Co-chair of Advocates for Ohio’s Future, Mark Davis, says it’s a win for the state, a win for local governments and a win for Ohioans. “We’re looking at it as a way in which we can really strengthen communities, provide additional jobs, decrease the number of uninsured, and bring in revenue to the state budget and to help out the local entities, too,” he said. The report found that by reducing the number of uninsured, an expansion would increase Ohio employment and earnings, improve county finances and lower health care costs for Ohio’s employers and residents. Savings to the state would come mainly by shifting existing costs to the federal government, the report said. “The incarcerated population – recently released and being eligible for inpatient services – that would save a significant amount of money; prescription drug rebates would bring in an additional $218 million and of course, the taxes on the managed care organizations bring about $1.8 billion,” he said. Gov. Kasich is expected to announce his decision on a possible Medicaid expansion when he releases the two-year state budget, which is due at the beginning of February. The study was conducted by the Health Policy Institute of Ohio, the Urban Institute and Ohio State University. It is available at http://tinyurl.com/b2k7dvv.

Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.

Hi! I'm George! I am a Black Labrador Retriever mix, male super sweet boy with lots of energy! I love to play fetch and will drop the ball for you to throw to me again and again. I get along well with cats and most other dogs, and walk well on a leash. I'm pretty smart and know commands such as sit, stay, and kennel up. I did test heart worm positive upon intake, so I have to go through the lengthy treatment to get rid of them. I am hoping that someone will open up their home to me while I go through treatment and help to keep me quiet and lots of love so I can heal. I would make a great dog for an experienced owner that has lots of time and energy. If you think that we're a match made in heaven, stop out and meet me! woodcountyhumanesociety.com
