Community rallies to help save dog A dog facing euthanasia due to a serious injury from a car accident last month had surgery that saved its life, thanks to the generosity of the community. Wind Bearheart’s dog, Grizzly, had hip surgery on Tuesday at Med Vet, in Columbus, and was expected to be home by Friday. Bearhart, of Northwood, thought she’d have to put down her dog because she could not afford to pay for the surgery. But the community came to the rescue after the media highlighted her predicament and donated funds for surgery. “I am just overwhelmed by the generosity of people,” Bearheart said. “I now know there are angels walking on this earth.” On Tuesday, January 22, Bearheart, Grizzly and her dog Chance were passengers in a vehicle traveling back to Northwood after she visited her son, Shane Baumgartner, a paramedic/firefighter at Station No. 9 in Whitehouse. The car was broadsided in Fulton County by another vehicle, which was totaled in the accident. Bearheart was airlifted to The University of Toledo Medical Center in serious condition. She suffered broken bones in her face, injuries to her ribs and

head trauma. Chance, a Siberian Husky, was taken to the fire department in Whitehouse, where he was cared for by her son and his fellow firefighters. Although sore, Chance came out of the accident relatively unscathed. Grizzly, a 14 month old Newfoundland, was taken to an emergency veterinary clinic to be treated for leg injuries and a dislocated hip. Bearheart’s son then took Grizzly to the West Suburban Animal Hospital in Sylvania where he was examined by Dr. Gary Thompson, who suggested that the big bear of a dog go to the veterinary hospital in Columbus for hip surgery. Bearheart, who does not drive, has depended on her dogs for transportation. The three have been seen around Northwood, Toledo, Rossford and Perrysburg, with Bearheart on her sled with wheels, being pulled by

her dogs as she ran errands, visited friends and went sightseeing. Unfortunately, Bearheart, who was struggling to pay for her own medications, could not afford the $6,000 estimated cost for the surgery. If Grizzly could not get the surgery, he would have had to be put down. The insurance company of the other driver would not pay for Grizzly’s veterinary bills because the law considers animals personal property. After an article about Grizzly ran in The Press, donations to a special account at Fifth Third Bank as well as to a Chipin account accumulated quickly. Within two days, there was enough money raised to pay for Grizzly’s surgery. “The story really made a difference,” Bearheart said. “I am just glad his surgery was paid for. It would have broke my heart if I had to put him down. The people who have donated and those who have sent cards and messages have made me believe in people again.” Bearheart said she was also relieved to hear from Dr. Matthew Barnhart, of Med Vet, that Grizzly did not need a total hip replacement, but a procedure that was a bit less costly. Grizzly, who is young and in otherwise good health, would need a Toggle hip surgery, which would cost $4,000.

One day after several farmers in Lake Township took their complaints to the township trustees of snowmobiles trespassing on their fields, township police arrested a Genoa man for just that. Police issued a summons arrest Wednesday shortly before 7 p.m. to Michael J. Lewis, 28, Meadow Drive, Genoa, after an officer observed him crossing a field near the corner of Libby and Lemoyne roads. He was charged with criminal trespassing, according to police. At Tuesday’s meeting of the township trustees, farmers complained of snowmobiles trespassing on their fields, telling them and Police Chief Mark Hummer of acreage planted with winter wheat being damaged and “no trespassing” signs being blatantly ignored. “It’s like a slap in the face,” one grower said of the snowmobilers riding past signs designating private property. The trustees approved a motion to send a letter to State Representative Tim Brown and State Senator Randy Gardner to request tougher legislation for addressing the problem and to contact the Wood County prosecutor’s office for clarification of the current law. “We need to find out what our options are and how much jurisdiction we have,” Ron Sims, a trustee, said after the meeting. Asked by Robert Kapp what measures growers could take, Chief Hummer said they could protect their property if it is being damaged. “Your reaction has to be appropriate,” the chief said. “The best weapon you’ll have is your phone and some patience.” The growers said most of the trespassing occurs between 8 p.m. and midnight and is more frequent on weekends. Chief Hummer told the farmers he’s instructed officers to cite violators and not issue warnings. He said his office will ask the prosecutor for the maximum penalty. He acknowledged the livelihoods of

I am just so happy he will be able to run and play again.” Adding to her happiness, Bearheart returned home from Columbus to a box filled with 70 Get Well cards for Grizzly from Holland Elementary School, in Holland. “The cards are so cute and many made me smile and laugh,” she said. “I really needed a good laugh after everything that has happened. The kids even put in dog treats and they sent me a box of chocolate truffles too.” The account at Fifth Third has been closed since enough money was raised, said Bearhart. “People have been so generous and

There is a little piece of all of us within Grizzly now. It took all of us to make him whole again.” Longtime friend, Michelle Geiermann, of Minneapolis, started a Facebook page for Grizzly. She also started the Chipin account for donations. After the article appeared in The Press, donations to the Chipin account came in

very quickly, according to Geiermann. “In two days, the account jumped to $907,” she said. Grizzly also gained support on the Facebook page, she added, with over 60 “likes.” “The comments have been very supportive and sweet and we can’t thank the paper and the community enough,” she said. The Chipin account was closed on Wednesday, said Geiermann. “We have posted on Facebook that the account has been closed,” Geiermann said. “I have had a number of people ask to be kept informed of Grizzly’s progress so I will keep the Facebook page updated. Many people have asked that we let them know if money is needed for Grizzly’s rehabilitation costs. People have just been so wonderful and kind and Wind is just so appreciative.” For more information on Grizzly and his current condition, visit his Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ LetsHelpGrizzly?ref=ts.

the farmers are being hurt because the snow in many fields hasn’t been deep enough to protect winter wheat, which is planted in the fall. The chief said the township police department will be working with departments from other jurisdictions on the problem. An investigation into a recent burglary in Perrysburg Township involved several agencies, he said, and was enhanced by them having 800 megahertz radios that enable officers to communicate directly with each other. Lake Township police recently upgraded their radios to the 800 system. “I’ve never seen a snowmobile faster than a Motorola,” the chief said. Criminal trespassing is a fourth degree misdemeanor but for violations involving snowmobiles or all-terrain vehicles the fines are doubled, according to the chief. Joe Cornerly, a spokesman for the Ohio Farm Bureau, said growers have to routinely contend with trespassers “Trespassing has always been a problem for farmers. I wouldn’t say we get flooded with complaints from our members but it is a chronic issue we hear about. It led to our work on state legislation that was passed in 2010. The rules require snowmobiles and ATVs to display a license plate and registration sticker. The rules included increased penalties for those who trespass on an all-purpose vehicle and a “third strike and you’re out” provision that allows for the confiscation of their vehicle,” he said. Chief Hummer said snowmobiles can be ridden on public right-of-way.

NutritionZone gets lime-green building By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

I was a little bit disappointed with the vote. I thought the pictures of the black awnings broke up the color.

“

A small, vacant commercial building on Woodville Road in Northwood that was recently painted bright green, to the consternation of city officials, will have to undergo some changes to conform with the more conservative colors of the city’s central business district. There were not enough votes on Northwood’s Architectural Review Committee, which met recently, to allow the business to remain green without adding some touches to tone down the color, according to Kimberly Vaculik, the city’s planning, zoning and economic development coordinator. Vaculik and City Administrator Bob Anderson met last month with Josh Maluchnik, one of the owners of the business, which will be called the NutritionZone. “Josh had ideas of putting up black awnings to break up the brightness of the color of the building,” said Vaculik. “He had asked me to call an Architectural Review Committee meeting so we could officially review the color. We did that last Friday. He sent us photos of the building with the black awnings superimposed on them so we could get an idea of what it would potentially look like.” But the committee split the vote, 2-2. Maluchnik’s changes, some felt, did not go far enough. “Because the vote was tied, the motion [to accept the changes] failed,” said Vaculik. She asked Maluchnik to update the drawings to include more changes in an effort to mute the green. The committee will review the changes again at a meeting on Feb. 8. Maluchnik told The Press that he is confident the issue will be resolved. “I was a little bit disappointed with the vote,” he said. “I thought the pictures of the black awnings broke up the color.” At the next meeting, he will bring photos with more proposed changes, including installing flower boxes, and a repaved parking lot. “We’re going to make it look nice. I am just going to try and dress it up as much as possible, and we’ll go from there,” he said. The building was painted bright green, he said, to match the corporate color of Herbalife, a global nutrition company that promotes nutrition, weight management, and personal care products. He and his business partners are independent distributors of Herbalife products. The color also helps cover up imperfections of the building, which is over 40 years old. “We decided to cover up some of the imperfections with a little bit more vibrant of a paint color,” he said. In addition, the color draws attention to the small building.

“The 750 foot square foot building needs to stand out a little,” he said. Vaculik said the committee will welcome any ideas Maluchnik has, such as the flower boxes. “Basically, we want to see the green broken up more,” she said. “Maybe paint the door and trim black, put large potted plants on the ground in the corners of the building, and flower boxes underneath the windows, so the primary focus is not the bright green color of the building. I understand the use of the green, and pulling it in with the product. But it’s still a bit

An Oak Harbor man has been charged with domestic violence following an incident at his home. The Ottawa County Grand Jury has indicted Steven D. Myosky, 42, whose last known address was West Water Street, on one count of Domestic Violence. The charge is a felony of the third degree, alleging that Myosky has been convicted of similar charges two or more times. Indictments were also returned against: • Monique C. Roy, 24, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility; Richard Webber, 23, whose last known address is Clyde; and Tyrone Porter, 38, whose last known address is Toledo, were each indicted on counts of Failure to Appear, felonies of the fourth degree. All three are accused of failing to attend court hearings on unrelated indictments last month. • Brian P. Nason, 36, and Sean D. Case, 20, both of 9086 W. SR 163, Oak Harbor, were each charged with three counts of Forgery, along with a felony count each of Misuse of a Credit Card, Forgery and Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity. According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office reports, the pair used several stolen credit cards, charging nearly $7,000 over a two-month period.

much.” Councilman Dave Gallaher, who also sits on the committee, agreed. “We’re doing our best to try and work with him. We want to help him out as much as we can and get him to tone it down a little bit and make the color less vibrant,” he said. Officials at a Dec. 6 council meeting had initially expressed their displeasure of the color of the building, which at one time was a car lot, then a tax service. Councilman Ed Schimmel referred to the building’s color as “neon green,” and he had asked Vaculik to inform the property owner, Larry Oberheu, of Lambertville, Michigan, that the color was unacceptable for the city’s central business district. Maluchnik said the NutritionZone is expected to open within 60 days. He describes the business as a nutrition club that will offer healthy meal replacements and supplements, hold weight loss challenges, and nutrition classes. He also has similar businesses in the area. “We also have NutritionWorks in Genoa, and NutritionDecision in Perrysburg,” he said.

Bowersox to perform T o l e d o School for the Arts is pleased to announce that alumna Crystal Bowersox – will entertain Toledo audiences with a concert on March 3 at the SeaGate Center. The 7:30pm concert with Monte Mar is Bowersox part of an upcom ing tour taking Bowersox from Connecticut to California. Ticket sales begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13. Tickets are available at the Huntington Center Box Office or through Ticketmaster at 800745-3000 and at www.ticketmaster. com. Box office hours are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. All seats reserved and are $37. Humble beginnings and passion for music have driven the 25-year old Crystal Bowersox to become one of the most recognized young voices and up and coming singer/songwriters in America. An emotive folk-rock-country style has been catapulted from the cramped coffeehouses and cavernous subway tunnels of Chicago to millions of homes across America when she placed second in Season 9 of “American Idol.” The show helped catapult her from obscurity to fame overnight, and though Bowersox is grateful for the exposure, she’s more focused now on what she gained from the competition as an artist and performer. “I’ve always known what kind of artist I am,” the former TSA student says. “But I now know what I’m capable of.”

Free zoo admission To thank Lucas County voters for their ongoing levy support, the Toledo Zoo will offer free admission to all Lucas County residents from Saturday, Feb. 16 through Monday, February 18, throughout the President’s Day weekend.

And all across the zoo, visitors will see public feeds and enrichment with the animals, from reptiles and orangutans to vultures and giant spiders. Wondering what to do with the kids on Monday, when the schools are closed? The zoo is offering an indoor bounce house all weekend long – Saturday, Sunday and Monday. In addition, Lucas County visitors will receive coupons to use throughout the weekend, plus additional coupons for another Zoo visit in April.

County changes euthanasia policy By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The decision by the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners to adopt a different euthanasia policy at the dog warden department is being lauded by an animal advocacy group that has been pushing for reform of county dog shelters for more than 10 years. The commissioners recently approved a two-year contract with Oak Harbor Veterinary Services for euthanasia services by lethal injection instead of continuing to use a carbon monoxide gas chamber. The contract includes a cap of $30,000. Commissioner Jim Sass said the board had been reviewing other options to the chamber and said the change will avoid a lawsuit from the Ohio Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which had been pressuring the county to change its euthanasia procedure. “We still feel we were within the law,” Sass said, adding the commissioners had consulted with the county prosecutor’s office while reviewing the procedure.

also less stressful for the employees. Obviously it’s not something they relish doing.” Landon disagrees. “Most people prefer to be with their pets in order to hold them during the final moments,” she said. “Why should it be any different for a shelter dog?’ She said the Ohio SPCA is requesting the county’s gas chamber be dismantled and scrapped. Sass said there has been no decision yet on what to do with the chamber, which was commercially-built. The county’s dog shelter is self-supporting, operating on users’ fees, fines and penalties. The Ohio SPCA in 2002, when it was known as the Ohio Humane Education Association, began investigating the conditions of county dog ponds, offering assistance and submitting proposals for change. “As a result, guns were silenced; the use of engine exhaust ended, and gas boxes and gas chambers dismantled. Some of these counties have made progress, while others still need pressure from a caring public,” its website says.

He said dog warden’s staff routinely tries to find homes for the animals and euthanasia was the “last resort” at the dog shelter. Teresa Landon, executive director of the Ohio SPCA, welcomed the decision to change the policy. “We are pleased to hear that the Ottawa County commissioners have decided to contract with a veterinary clinic and remove the gas chamber from their county dog shelter,” she said. According to the county’s 2011 annual report, 242 dogs were impounded that year. Of those, 92 were euthanized, 65 were adopted and 85 were recovered by owners. The figures were similar in 2010 when 244 were impounded, 94 euthanized, 52 adopted, and 98 recovered. Landon and Sass still have differing opinions on which procedure is more humane, Sass said he witnessed a dog being euthanized last month in the gas chamber and has had a dog he personally owned put down by lethal injection. “I think it (the chamber) is less stressful. That’s just my opinion,” he said. “It’s

Council to consider appointment of K-9 handler By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday will consider the appointment of a handler for the police division’s new K-9 program. “If we have a police K-9 unit, we want to have an excellent program,” said Mayor Mike Seferian at a committee of the whole meeting on Feb. 4. “We’ll settle for nothing less than that. One of the most key features of the K-9 unit is the dog handler for the program to be successful. The handler and family of the handler have to be the right fit for the dog and the whole program. So it’s not like we get a dog, pick a person, put them in a car and everything works. It’s done to find the best possible person, to find the best dog and best program set up for what our needs are. So to do that properly, it takes a little time.” Police Chief Mike Navarre said at the meeting that Sgt. Jeffrey Martin has been selected to be the canine handler. Martin, 38, was appointed to the police division on Jan. 3, 2000 and has been a sergeant for 1 ½ years. Martin was selected out of five applicants, said Navarre. “He has a lot of knowledge, experience, and a great passion for this line of work. And it takes a special person to do that. Not everyone can do that,” said Navarre. “We were fortunate to have five very good applicants to choose from. We felt like we selected the best candidate.” Martin, subject to council’s approval, will begin six weeks of training at the Shallow Creek Kennel’s training facility in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania. “We pretty much narrowed it down to four schools – two in Ohio, one in Indiana, and one in Pennsylvania,” said Navarre. Shallow Creek Kennel is a three hour drive from Oregon. “That was important. There are

It will look at detecting the major narcotics... It’s a dual purpose canine. It will also have tracking capabilities, whether for a suspect or missing persons.

“

Additional charges may be filed in a burglary case in the Village of Walbridge in which three adults and one juvenile were arrested, according to Police Chief Ken Frost, who said Thursday the case was still under investigation. According to Chief Frost and records in Perrysburg Municipal Court, charges of burglary and obstructing official business have been filed against Jacob T. Oakley, 18, Elijah M. Parsons-Gugle, 19, and Derek R. Daly, 18. Chief Frost said the three reside in Walbridge or surrounding areas. Charges are also pending against the juvenile. Village police were alerted by a passerby early Tuesday morning of a vehicle parked in the driveway of a Wilber Street residence while the occupant was at work. Additional village officers responded and were assisted by officers from Lake Township, Northwood, Rossford, and Norfolk Southern. Chief Frost said K-9 units were used to follow two sets of tracks in the snow that led from the Wilber Street home to a residence in the 200 block of Perry Street where the four were apprehended. “There were several elements at the scene on Wilber that indicated a burglary had been committed,” the chief said. “It was basically stopped in the act.” He said the passerby was familiar with the residence and knew the person living there was at work at the time. The adults were taken to the Wood County jail and the juvenile to the county’s juvenile detention center. “We’re still working on it to determine if other charges should be filed,” the chief said. According to court records, a preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 14 at 9:30 a.m. for Parsons-Gugle and Daly and for a public defender for Oakley.

schools all over the country. But we wanted something in reasonable proximity,” said Navarre. “And we wanted a school that specialized in this type of training. These are very, very fine top of the line schools to choose from.” The type of canine will be selected at the time the training begins. “They have a number of canines at the facility,” said Navarre. “They will evaluate our needs, evaluate the canine handler, and they will select a dog that will both meet our needs and will be compatible with the handler.” Typically, most canine training facilities import dogs from overseas, Martin said to council. “Usually from Germany, Belgium,

Czechoslovakia. They pre-train the dogs,” he said. Eventually, one of the dogs at the facility will be selected as being the most compatible with the needs of the division, said Martin. “Then I will start working with that dog on a more regular basis,” said Martin. The training facilities usually have up to 100 dogs on site, he said. “There’s enough access to different types of dogs to fit with what we need,” he said. The dogs, following training, usually are about two years old, he said. Councilman Jim Seaman asked whether the training facilities prefer male or female dogs for K-9 programs. “It varies,” said Martin. “Typically, you’re going to see more males than females just because of the breeding aspect. Usually, you’re looking at males. Is a female out of the question? No.” Martin said the dog will stay with him 24 hours a day. Council will consider the contract with Shallow Creek Kennels at its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, Feb. 11. “It’s fortunate we were able to get an opening for the April 8 session,” said Navarre. “They’re holding a slot for us subject to your approval.” Martin is expected to graduate with the dog from Shallow Creek Kennels on May 17. After Martin completes training, the police division will take ownership of the dual purpose police canine, which will be used to detect drugs and human scent. “It will look at detecting the major narcotics,” said Martin, as well as some prescription drugs. “It’s a dual purpose canine. It will also have tracking capabilities, whether for a suspect or missing persons.” Council last year approved a $15,000 contribution from the Toledo Refining Company, LLC, to fund the program.

Oregon school board puts levy on the May ballot By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Voters on May 7 will be asked to renew a 2-mill, five year permanent improvement levy for the Oregon City Schools District. The Oregon school board at a special meeting Tuesday unanimously voted to place the levy on the ballot. The district’s current permanent improvement levy will expire at the end of this year. The levy is expected to collect $1,018,277 annually from 2014 to 2018. The revenue would be used to fund improvements in the district, such as major building repairs, technology upgrades, and the purchase of buses. It would not go towards salaries or operations. “Essentially, it’s to keep the buildings in good working shape and condition,” said school board member Jeff Ziviski. Passage of the levy will also allow the district to continue to collect $128,500 per year from the state of Ohio for the replacement of the tangible personal property tax, according to Ziviski.

Revenue from the current levy has been used to make the district operate more efficiently, added Ziviski. “More recently, we focused our efforts on finding projects in the district that will benefit us more long term and also bring back some cost savings for the district, such as the $300,000 natural gas line extension to Jerusalem Elementary School,” said Ziviski. “It’s more cost effective, it saves us money, and more residents are tapping into the line, which benefits the community. Those are the kind of projects we’re looking to spend money on with the renewal of the levy – to enhance the district and community, and save us dollars in the long run.” The board also wants to improve security in the school buildings, said Ziviski. “We have a strong focus on school security and want to beef up security measures we have in place at each of the schools. We have enacted a building security/safety committee with all the building principals and the rest of the administration. They’ve been brainstorming ways to improve the security of our schools and to ensure our students are safe as they can be without making it into a prison like atmosphere. So

Being able and willing to accept where we are in our lives can benefit our peace of mind and add to our personal happiness.

we’re going to reinvest the money in each of the schools to make them safer.” Among the safety proposals under consideration, he said, is the installation of a power backup system in the buildings. “We’re looking at making sure we not only have electrical power backed up at the schools, but the PA systems are `battery backed up’ so we always have lines of communication open. We’re installing additional PA speakers in areas of schools where there aren’t any now,” he said. “We’re also looking at installing panic buttons, like at banks, that are connected to the police station, at each of the schools,” he said. “Then if the phone lines are ever cut, there is that direct connection with the police department. With everything going on in society, these are the precautions we have to take.” Also on the list are improvements in each of the schools’ surveillance cameras, which are connected to the police department, he said. Besides beefing up security, the funds will also be used to improve technology in the district, he added. “Part of that is switching from the tra-

ditional textbook in the backpack to issuing students an iPad uploaded with electronic textbooks,” he said. The levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $61 annually. Ziviski said costs to renew the levy in most cases would be even lower than what homeowners currently pay due to revaluations of property. Voters originally passed the levy on May 2, 1967. It has been renewed continually since that date.

Sacred Heart rated high in survey The Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Home received the sixth top score in the 2012 Nursing Home Family Satisfaction Survey conducted for the Ohio Department of Aging. Sacred Heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score of 95.63 was the highest from Northwest Ohio. The survey was conducted by the Scripps Gerontology Center of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. More than 27,000 family members and 948 homes participated. The survey asks family members their opinions on such areas as activities, administration, admission, choices, direct care and nursing, meals and dining, social services and therapy. Two other local homes finished with scores 88 percent or higher, which earned an additional quality point in a reimbursement formula used by the Office of Medical Assistance (Medicaid) to reward quality in nursing homes. They were Otterbein Portage Valley, Pemberville and Ottawa County Riverview Nursing Home, Oak Harbor.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

What is your idea of a perfect Valentine's Day?

Would no Saturday mail delivery have a big affect on you? Yes No To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com Daniel Garrett Toledo Zoo Toledo “Go to a nice hotel, spend maybe a couple days there. I would make dinner, or I take her out to eat at a nice place whatever she would prefer and just enjoy spending time with her.”

New church not needed To the editor: For approximately three years, there has been a large fundraising campaign within the St. Ignatius Catholic community. This faith-centered highpressure campaign is aimed at raising money to build a new church. The main reasons being given for needing a new church are that the building is not big enough and that the handicap accessibility is poor, as well as it is difficult to move caskets in and out of the building for funerals. I find these reasons difficult to accept as a basis for tearing down a perfectly good, historic building and spending millions of dollars to replace it. St. Ignatius is a sound, beautiful church that could be renovated at a fraction of the projected cost of a new building. A small addition for an elevator and additional seating, installation of air conditioning, modernization of kitchen facilities and redecorating of the existing structure would make it, by today’s standards, a comfortable, user-friendly church. A new large, state-of-of-the-art facility is not needed, nor can it be afforded. Membership in the Catholic community, St. Ignatius included, is declining and most parishioners at St. Ignatius are up in years. When these individuals are gone, the proposed building and the overhead will be more than declining active membership can financially maintain. In such uncertain economic times, I find it senseless and morally wrong to spend so much money so foolishly. We have many families in our community who are struggling financially and are going without necessities; therefore, I think that it is time for some soulsearching to be done within the St. Ignatius family. Rather than asking for monetary pledges from the parishioners for a new

church, maybe we should explore ways to help those in need within our community, many of whom are our members who are being strong-armed into giving money that they should be using to provide for their families. I ran across an elderly husband and wife who did not want to give to the church fund, but for some reason through that if they did not donate they could not be buried in the church cemetery. When I was contacted to donate, I told the priest that I would not donate because I did not believe in the tearing down of a perfect and historic building. I do not need a building to have a God. Dave Jaeger Oregon

Common sense on taxes To the editor: It is not surprising Walbridge Village Council recently voted to put the resolution on hold that I introduced regarding a request for state legislation to have all elected and appointed officials current on their tax liabilities. I wonder why they would not think that it is a good idea that elected and appointed officials who control our tax money should not be allowed to do so when they themselves cannot or will not pay their taxes? Seems like common sense to me. Maybe there is the answer. Village council should check again whether it is against the law to not pay their taxes. Also, so what if we would lose half of our elected officials? If they cannot control their own spending sufficiently well to pay their taxes, then they don’t deserve to be

handling and controlling taxpayer money. This kind of great divide, on what I consider to be common sense, is why this council and I did not see eye to eye. I hope the state senate continues to support this idea for a new state law. (I did get an inquiry from them when I introduced it.) I certainly do think it is a good idea and I would imagine most people also think this is a good idea. Please Walbridge council, reconsider. Dan Wilczynski Former mayor of Walbridge

Donations sought To the editor: For the past seven years, the Elmore Area Chamber of Commerce has sponsored the “Red, White, and Boom” Fireworks program at the end of June. The program involves a chicken barbecue, entertainment and a wonderful fireworks display after dark. This year, the program will be held on Saturday, June 29. The chicken barbecue will be at 4 p.m. at Woodmore High School, with entertainment following at Well Park, followed by the fireworks. The Chamber does not have large corporate sponsors for this program. All the fundraising comes through small businesses and organizations as well as donations from individuals. This year, the Chamber needs $8,000 to pay for the fireworks. They have $4,000 raised currently. Many local residents and their families have enjoyed the fireworks from their homes and from their cars by the side of the road, in addition to those who have come to Well Park to view them there.

If you have enjoyed the Elmore fireworks in the past, won’t you consider making a donation to help with the costs? There will soon be cans to collect donations in local businesses, or donations may also be mailed to the Elmore Area Chamber of Commerce, Box 179, Elmore, OH, 43416. Georgiana Huizenga Elmore

Pipeline’s false promise To the editor: State Rep. Bob Latta said that President Obama should approve the Keystone XL pipeline because it would decrease the price of oil in the United States. This is what his Tea Party bosses and the Koch brothers would have you believe. Oil prices in the Midwest will increase as refining is diverted from Midwest refineries to the Gulf of Mexico. Not only is the pipeline an environmental hazard, there is also no guarantee that this oil ends up in the U.S. The Gulf is a perfect location from which to ship oil overseas.

Turning things around requires assessment of priorities

1. What happened? In order to begin taking corrective action you must identify exactly what went awry. To do this, you need an awareness of what’s happening in your life. You will not be able to get back on the road unless you are looking out the windshield. 2. Why did it happen? You must understand the cause and effect relationship that brought you to your current position.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

If you are on the wrong path, there’s no reason for you to keep suffering.

“

As much as you strive to stay on your desired path, there are times where you will veer off course, sometimes even going in the opposite direction. When you have lost your way you have to turn things around. Your initial step is to recognize and acknowledge that you are going in the wrong direction. You must take full responsibility for the road you are currently on. If you blame other people or circumstances, you will not get back on track. You chose the direction you are traveling. Turning things around involves reassessing and reordering your priorities. Taking for granted all you have to be thankful for is all too common. When this happens, losing your way is all too easy. Before you can begin turning things around, you must immediately stop doing whatever caused you to wind up where you don’t want to be. Nothing will get better until you do this. When you are going the wrong way, or have made a mistake, there are four important questions to answer.

The key to this is what you did and the role you played. Since the only thing you have control over is yourself, it’s a complete waste of time to fault others or make excuses. 3. What did you learn? There is more to be learned from mistakes and problems than when everything goes right. If you don’t learn anything, you are destined to constantly repeat the same errors. 4. What do you have to do to prevent it from happening again? Accurately answering this question is vital to avoiding the same mistakes that brought you off

course. People who don’t honestly answer this question are destined to find themselves stuck in an endless cycle of frustration. Blaming others for your circumstances puts you in this position. In order to turn things around, you need to determine your new direction. This decision is based on your goals. Without a clear destination, there is no way to alter your course. Formulating well defined goals is paramount. Let go of the past. Learn from your mistakes rather than fixating on failures. Life moves forward. Concentrate on taking the action today necessary for making tomorrow better. Nothing happens without action. Displace the bad habits that drove you off course, with good ones. Bad habits sabotage your success. As soon as you catch yourself behaving in an old pattern, change what you are doing. This is a repetitive process that takes time to become engrained. Persistent bad habits inhibit your turning things around. If you are on the wrong path, there’s no reason for you to keep suffering. You have the power to make changes. The longer you continue in the wrong direction, the more time it takes for your return trip. Act today to take the first step. Recognize the need for change and then formulate a plan. Believe in yourself. If you have the desire and determination, you can turn things around. Your mind believes whatever you tell it. If you believe you can, you are right. If you believe you can’t, you are also right. So tell your mind that you can and will turn things around.

Free dental services bring smiles to area kids faces

“

I’m going to put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy...

“

More than 110 area children recently left Owens Community College with brighter, healthier smiles courtesy of the college’s participation in the nationwide Give Kids A Smile Day. Give Kids A Smile Day, a national initiative by the American Dental Association, is dedicated to focusing attention on the epidemic of untreated oral disease among disadvantaged children. Held each February in conjunction with National Children’s Dental Health Month, Give Kids A Smile Day provides free oral health education, screening and treatment services to children from low-income families across the country. Owens’ Dental Hygiene program, in collaboration with the Toledo Dental Society, was among thousands of organizations that provided free dental services and educational outreach for children with limited or no access to care across the country. “It’s a lot of fun to help children who are in need of help,” said Owens dental hygiene student Nicole Buchanan, of Genoa, “Give Kids A Smile Day provides a great opportunity for students like myself to share what we have learned and to give back.” Buchanan plans to pursue a career as a dental hygienist after graduating from

Owens and obtaining her bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene. “I really appreciate all the volunteers who take the time to help others on this day,” said Trisha Truman, of Curtice, whose three children obtained services at Owens as part of the community outreach effort. “My family has attended Give Kids A Smile Day for the past several years. We are extremely thankful to everyone who makes this such a great event.” The dental experience at Owens left 5-year-old Lea Wauford of Northwood, “in the pink.”

“I lost my first tooth today,” said an excited Wauford. “I’m going to put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy. They gave me a pink princess toothbrush. Pink is my favorite color.” Services available as part of “Give Kids a Smile” included dental education and screening, X-rays, dental cleanings, limited restorations and dental sealants. In addition, students from Owens’ health program provided informational presentations for parents and children. Also assisting with the event were School of Health Sciences students within the academic areas of dental assisting, massage therapy technology and medical imaging technology. The college’s Dental Hygiene program offers a fully accredited, competency-based curriculum. Students receive classroom instruction as well as hands-on experience in the Dental Hygiene Clinic, while preparing to sit for the national, state or regional exam in dental hygiene. Owens’ program also offers dental services to area residents through its Dental Hygiene Clinic – a 20-chair clinic staffed by dental hygiene students and supervised by licensed dental professionals. Appointments are available during the fall and spring semesters for a $30 fee.

New ICU, Endoscopy Suite planned at Bay Park By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com Construction is expected to begin this quarter on a new Intensive Care Unit, as well as a new Endoscopy Suite at ProMedica Bay Park Hospital in Oregon. Like the existing unit, the new ICU will be located on the hospital’s second floor. “The unit will be built out on top of an existing roof,” according to Tom Borer, vice president of professional services at Bay Park. “The total space will be about 10,000 sq. ft., including renovation of some existing space and about 7,000 sq. ft. of new construction.” The unit will include eight patient rooms, which will be about 20 percent larger than current ICU rooms. One of the rooms will be designed to accommodate bariatric, or very obese patients. “It’s important that facilities adapt to accommo-

date a population of people who are getting heavier – from seating in waiting rooms, to the types of CAT scanners we buy, to the types of lift equipment we have to help us lift patients out of their beds for care,” Borer said. “We recognize it’s an issue that’s out there and we need to address it.” The larger rooms will not only offer enhanced patient comfort, but will also more easily accommodate equipment needed to provide care for the hospital’s sickest patients. “The patients that we are seeing in our ICU are sicker than we ever conceived of taking care of,” Borer said. “With sicker patients comes the need for more equipment and technology. Our rooms get very crowded when you bring in a ventilator, a dialysis machines and other support equipment, along with the patients themselves, the caregivers and family members.” The new rooms will be equipped with

ceiling-mounted patient lifts to assist hospital staff with moving patients. They will also include telestroke technology, which provides two-way visual communication between the ICU and neurologists and other experts in stroke treatment and care who are located at other ProMedica locations. “Telestroke offers patients access to specialists in a more timely manner,” Borer said. “This technology can also be used in other departments throughout the hospital, but it will be especially valuable in the ICU for treating stroke patients, because when it comes to strokes, time matters.” The new ICU’s design will also improve visualization between nurses and patient rooms. “There will be a direct line of sight from the nurse’s station into each and every patient room,” Borer said. “Unfortunately, today, we don’t have that.” The ICU project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

The new Endoscopy Suite will be constructed in currently unused “shell space” on the hospital’s Garden Level, space that was built intentionally for future growth and expansion, Borer said. “ When construction is complete, estimated at some time in the second quarter of this year, endoscopy services will be relocated from the surgery area to the new 4,600 sq. ft. suite. “The area where services are currently offered can get very busy and is sometimes crowded,” Borer said. “Because the unit will be all self-contained, it will offer improved privacy for patients and more efficiency for the staff and physicians as they move patients during the course of their procedures.” The suite will include 10 patient bays and space for three endoscopy rooms – one more than the hospital currently has. The new suite will serve patients who need colonoscopies, EDGs and bronchoscopies.

ProMedica to sponsor school food drive challenge As part of an overall campaign to end hunger in our region, ProMedica has announced its 2013 “Come to the Table” School Food Drive Challenge. To compete, ProMedica is asking area elementary, middle and high schools in area counties including Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood counties, to plan and implement a seven-day food drive to benefit a hunger relief agency in their community. The program is designed to increase the awareness of hunger as a significant challenge for families as well as a serious health issue in the region, while making a positive impact on the lives of those who are hungry. ProMedica will reward the school that collects the most pounds of donated, nonperishable food items with a $1,000 prize. “We are excited to offer this new challenge that will engage the creativity and energy of our area students and help them make a difference in their own community,” says Stephanie Cihon, corporate director of advocacy and community relations for ProMedica. For more information on how a school can participate in the food drive challenge, visit www.promedica.org/advocacy or email cometothetable@promedica.org to receive your entry materials.

Heart Walk at new location The American Heart Association has announced that the 2013 Heart Walk, set for May 11 at 8 a.m., will be held at Fifth Third Field in downtown Toledo. The decision to move the event from the University of Toledo’s Glass Bowl Stadium was based on desire to hold the event in a central location that would attract more companies and involve their employees in the Heart Walk. “Toledo is the fifth-least heart friendly city in the nation,” said Christine Colvin, Heart Walk Director for the American Heart Association, Northwest Ohio Division. “We would like to engage new companies in our wellness initiatives and give them incentives to help make Toledo a healthier place to live.” Companies, organizations and individuals are encouraged to sign up now to participate. All participating companies will benefit from wellness programs offered year-round at no cost. Call Christine Colvin at 419-740-6172 or visit www.heart.org/toledowalk for more information.

Stella Bertz Cheer For A Cure, an organization created to memorialize Stella Bertz, will sponsor the Ninth Annual Cheer For A Cure Championship Saturday, Feb. 16 at Genoa High School. The annual Cheer For A Cure cheerleading and dance competition was established in 2005 in memory of the generosity and dedication of Stella Bertz, who coached cheerleading in the Genoa Area School District for more than 10 years. Bertz succumbed to cancer in February 2003. The organization has grown into a national, community-based group dedicated to raising funds in an effort to impact the lives of those who have been touched by cancer. The grassroots network of cheerleaders, coaches, and supporting fans holds competitions and events to raise funds to support cancer prevention and improve quality of life by funding research, education, advocacy, and service. Registration is now open and all cheer squads and dance teams, preschool age to adult, are invited to participate in the event. Approximately 50 squads, ranging

The anticipated theme of the next program is “Sweethearts, Sweet Treats.” To register or for more information, contact the WCCOA Programs Department at 419353-5661 or 1-800-367-4935, or email programs@wccoa.net.

Capacity crowd watches Ohio State defeat Illinois By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Oak Harbor was the place to be on February 1. That Friday night, the Ohio State wrestling team made a special appearance at Oak Harbor High School, competing against Illinois in a much anticipated event before a packed house of 2,100 fans. To the delight of the crowd, the Buckeyes, ranked fifth in the country, defeated No. 6 Illinois, 25-9, to improve to 10-2 and 4-2 in the Big Ten Conference. Needless to say, the match could go down as an historic moment in area history, perhaps ranking on par with President Obama’s visit to Kozy Korner’s Restaurant last summer. The match was special for area wrestling fans, but symbolic of something more. In a state filled with millions of rabid Buckeye fans, having the Ohio State wrestling team come to a village of 2,600 people was a once-in-a-lifetime event that local residents will remember for years to come. If only for a few hours, Buckeye Nation resided not in Columbus, but in Oak Harbor. The event was especially important because Ohio State featured two Oak Harbor alums, senior C.J. Magrum and redshirt sophomore Drew Stone. Having two former Rockets compete for the Buckeyes will continue to be a huge source of pride for the community. Magrum, a three-time state champion at OHHS, and Stone, a two-time state runner-up in high school, welcomed the trip home and competing in front of their friends and family. “It was awesome coming back,” Magrum said. “It was a great experience for our team and the fans. You could feel the energy in the gym and it helped us get the win. It was great seeing how many people came to support me (and) I really felt

Ohio State wrestler Cody Magrum (right) faces off against his Illinois opponent at Oak Harbor High School. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.lifepics.com) at home. The atmosphere with a crowded gym really made a difference.” Stone, whose parents, Michael and Kim, and brother, Josh, are all OSU graduates, was enthused about coming home and competing in his old gymnasium. “It was an awesome experience,” Stone said. “There were more people than I

imagined and the support they showed was great. It was something I’ll never forget. “It’s really cool to be a Buckeye just like my parents and brother. And wrestling just makes it even better. (Those guys) are my second family and we have a lot of pride for our school and our team.” With Jon Peters, a.k.a. “Big Nut,” sit-

ting front and center, the Buckeyes competed in front of a capacity crowd against the Illini and won seven of the 10 matches. Three of the winners included Logan Stieber, Hunter Stieber and Cam Tessari, all of whom are from Monroeville, located 35 from Oak Harbor. Magrum fell just short at 184 pounds, losing, as did Stone (133), who fell, 6-4, in his match. In the Big Ten, the Buckeyes sit in fourth place, one-and-a-half games behind Penn State and Minnesota, both of whom are 6-1, and two games behind Iowa (6-0). In the coming weeks, the Ohio State will finish up regular-season play before competing in the NWCA National Duals in Minneapolis and then the Big Ten Championships in March. “We have had a good season so far,” said Magrum. “The Big Ten season is a grind, so staying healthy is a big issue. We’re training to peak for the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAAs.” Oak Harbor head coach George Bergman, who helped coordinate the event with athletic director Drew Grahl and Ohio State coach Tom Ryan, said the event was unique. “We couldn’t have put any more people in (the gym),” Bergman said. “It’s a once in a lifetime thing. I’m very confident that will never happen again in Ottawa County. We had two top 10 teams in the country. And what a treat it was (for the people). Ohio State definitely delivered. They performed very, very well. I’ve been there for some basketball games that had some good crowds, but I never saw anything quite like this. “It was very nice to have Drew and Cody back. They were very nice and appreciative and their parents were, too. People couldn’t get over how nice the Ohio State and Illinois wrestlers were. Drew Grahl and I, all we got were nice compliments. Everyone was gracious and complimentary.”

Howard becomes 28th Seminole to score 1,000 career points The Press Box Led by junior forward Natasha Howard’s double-double, the No. 20/21-ranked Florida State women’s basketball team picked up its ninth consecutive win over Clemson, 83-61, on Sunday at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Howard (Waite), who scored 19 points and grabbed 11 boards, became the 28th Seminole to score 1,000 career points when she drilled a free throw at the 11:01 mark in the first half. The Toledo native led five Seminoles in double figures as senior forward Chelsea Davis (19 points) and senior guards Alexa Deluzio (16), Leonor Rodriguez (16) and Morgan Toles (10) also scored 10 or more points for a Garnet and Gold squad that shot 55 percent after halftime. Florida State (18-4, 8-3 in the ACC) was in control the entire game and pulled away down the stretch. The victory marked the seventh time this season five Seminoles reached double figures in scoring. “It opens a lot especially for the shooters because every game we play they’re going to trap me or Chelsea and there is going be wide open shots for Leo or Alexa,” Howard said of the Noles’ balance on offense. “It’s a good thing to have everybody scoring double figures on this team. We each share the ball a lot.” Howard had her 23rd career double-

double and her second double-double game in a row bringing it to a total of eight so far this season.

Eagles wrestle at state duals

Genoa, Clay grapplers win their respective league titles By Harold Hamilton and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com Clay’s wrestling program not only hosted the Three Rivers Athletic Conference wrestling championships, they also captured their second conference title. The Eagle grapplers used eight first place finishes to rack up 238 team points. Central Catholic finished a distant second with 185½ points followed by St. John’s Jesuit (97), Findlay (92), St. Francis de Sales (82), Whitmer (66½), Fremont Ross (64), and Lima Senior (11½). Repeat champions include Clay sophomore Richie Screptock (120), Central Catholic sophomore Nate Hagan (126), and Clay seniors Damon Dominique (152), Eddie Silva (195), and Jared Gray (220). Other Clay champions were junior Aaron Hennemen (106), junior Gavin Nelson (132), junior Nick Stencel (160), freshman Matt Stencel (182), Clay runners-up were junior Jared Davis (113), senior Brian Henneman (126), Finishing third from Clay was senior Charlie Amenta (170) and junior Antonio Zapata (285). Finishing fourth was sophomore Caleb Nelson (138), Fremont Ross junior Trey Grine kept his season record unblemished at 39-0 in the 145-pound final but he needed two overtime periods and an ultimate tie-breaker to defeat Central Catholic junior Alex Mossing (23-3) 4-3. Grine was named the tournament Wrestler of the Year. Clay is also headed to the eight-team Division I state duals tournament, seeded second facing off against fourth seeded Brecksview-Broadview Heights Saturday morning. A win would have sent them to the semifinal against the Lakewood St. Edward-Pickerington Central winner. The other four teams are Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller, Centerville, Marysville, and Massillon Perry. The Eagles got there by defeating Whitmer, 69-6, Sylvania Southview, 51-21, Perrysburg, 34-25, and Sidney, 54-13.

Genoa wins Northern Buckeye The Genoa wrestling team defeated Eastwood (173½-164½) to win the Northern Buckeye Conference championship. It has been 10 years since Genoa has won a conference wrestling championship and this was only the second time in 47 years. It is the Comets fourth team title this season. The men in maroon also won the Northcoast Holiday Duals, Napoleon Gold Medal Duals, and NBC Duals. Genoa will wrestle next at the Division III Sectional Tournament on Friday and Saturday Feb 15 & 16th at Elmwood High School. Second-year coach Robert Bergman is quick to acknowledge his young men, saying “winning the NBC is a testament to our kids and especially our seniors who wouldn’t settle for anything less than their best. If you want to be more than mediocre you have to be willing to do more than what the average person is doing. They have shown that anything is possible if you are willing to work for it.” Coach Bergman goes on to say “a lot of credit for our success this season needs to go to our coaching staff. You are only as good as the people you surround yourself with and from top to bottom we have class individuals working with our kids. Brian

Sheehy, Pat Moore, Bobby Parish, Dom D’Emilio and my father Joe Bergman add a wealth of knowledge and experience to our room and sacrifice a ton of time and effort to help our kids consistently improve.” He goes on to praise Tom Giles and Jeff Holcombe for the job they do with our youngsters at the middle school as well as Dom D’Emilio and Eric Gonzalez and their entire biddy staff who set a solid foundation for our wrestling program to build on. Genoa had 10 members placing. Helping the team with first place finishes in their weight classes were Max Reeder (132), Drew Keenan (145), Ryan Szymanski (160), and Jay Nino (220). Other conference first place individual winners from local schools by weight were Woodmore wrestler Evan Ulinski (106), Lake wrestler Thomas Schnittker (113), Eastwood wrestler Andrew Caris (126), Lake wrestler Chris Salaz (138)), Eastwood wrestlers Brad Radabaugh (152), Randy Caris (170), Kyle Patterson (182), and Adam Wolf (195) and Lake grappler Jacob Hankish (285).

Waite guard Taywyn Mason proving he can be a leader By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

My coaches told me to keep shooting and keep doing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Taywyn Mason was still looking for his first dunk of the season as his Waite basketball team headed into Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City League game against Woodward. The Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 6-foot-3 junior guard, one of the top scorers in the league, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hungry for a dunk.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some steals this year,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the opportunity for a dunk. But, two points are two points. I just get my buckets and get back down the court.â&#x20AC;? Mason has had plenty of baskets this season for first-year coach Adam Rodriguez, whose squad graduated several seniors last year. The Indians were 1-18 (1-8 CL) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their only win was over Woodward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; prior to Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rematch with the Polar Bears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taywyn has been a pleasant surprise,â&#x20AC;? said Rodriguez, who coached Whitmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior varsity team the last two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew he was going to be our leading scorer. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty smooth, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a decent jump shot and some good length. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to get shots up; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty confident kid. Even though he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any extended varsity experience, he had a lot of confidence in his game.â&#x20AC;? Mason, who is Waiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tallest player, saw some varsity action prior to this season and was named a co-captain along with 6-2 senior forward Kenyatta Bowen, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rebounder (7.0). Through 19 games, Mason was averaging 18.2 points and 6.5 rebounds and was shooting 38 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the free throw line. His eight 3-pointers in a single game set a school record, and he is nearing the school single-season mark for shots made beyond the arc. He scored a team-high 19 points in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 76-61 home loss to Scott. Mason opened the season with 11 points against Sandusky and 14 against Fremont Ross. He ripped Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-3 zone defense for 30 points in a Dec. 21 loss to the Bulldogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had 20 the game before that, against

Mason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My coaches told me to keep shooting and keep doing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing. (Rodriguez) said if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score, we had no chance of being in the game.

We were losing the (Scott) game and I felt I had to put the team on my back to win the game. I had to play 110 percent to try to win the game.â&#x20AC;?

Rodriguez said that game showed Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammates he was capable of putting up big numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was just a little more aggressive against Scott,â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next night he had 28 against Dublin Coffman. The kids started buying into it and they started looking for him, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pretty good ever since.â&#x20AC;? At 170 pounds, Mason still has plenty of room to add bulk before his senior season. He said he can eat as much as he wants and has trouble gaining weight, but he plans to hit the weight room hard in the offseason. He also plans to help make Waite basketball relevant again next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m weak and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to do anything because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m skinny,â&#x20AC;? Mason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had butterflies before my first game and my hands used to sweat. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to put on a show. I want to go out and play hard. I want people to know we have talent at Waite.â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez said Mason, who has a 2.9 GPA, is handling the Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; difficult season the best way he can. As the season has progressed, teams have done more face guarding and are using more trick defenses to try to slow Mason down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never complained and he just keeps playing hard,â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really gotten better since the first time we met him on Oct. 1. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten better by leaps and bounds. Once we get him in the spring and summer and get him in AAU â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never played AAU before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping he puts on 15-20 pounds. Who knows how good he can be. It depends on how hard he works at it.â&#x20AC;? Mason said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team is focused on winning a game at the sectional tournament and building momentum towards next year. He also has his heart set on playing ball at the next level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of us want the season to be over,â&#x20AC;? Mason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really do love each other. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a family. Look out for Waite next year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a real good season. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to stick with the program and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to graduate from Waite. I feel like if I put my mind to something, I can do it. I want to play Division I basketball, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do.â&#x20AC;?

It is difficult to be a gorgeous girl, isn't it? Hi, I'm Alaina and I came to the shelter when my previous owner surrendered me when they could no longer take care of me. I love peace and quiet where I am the only one in the spot light. While I love my chin scratched and gentle pats on the head, which I reward with kitty kisses, just please don't pick me up or hold me too much. I spent so much time grooming to look this way, I would hate to have to do it again! But by all means, keep petting me until I tell you to stop. If you think you can treat me like the queen that I think I am, then stop out and say h e l l o a n d r e m e m b e r, g i r l s like me don't come around very often! woodcountyhumanesociety.com
