New center at St. Charles
Mercy invests $21 million for behavioral health By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com “A very exciting day,” – that’s how Mercy and Catholic Health Partners officials described the formal announcement on Feb. 17 of a new $21 million Behavioral Health Institute that will be constructed on the campus of Mercy St. Charles Hospital in Oregon. The two-story building, which will connect to the main hospital, will offer a range of inpatient, partial-hospitalization and outpatient mental and behavioral health services in one location. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2015, at which time inpatient psychiatric services at St. Charles and Mercy St. Vincent will transition to the new facility. “As healthcare transforms and adapts to new models of care, we have to make sure that we are transforming along with it, so that we are proactive in our change and not reacting,” Dr. Imran Andrabi, chief operating officer and president/chief network integration officer for Mercy, said at a press conference. “Mercy has been on a journey, along with Catholic Health Partners, to make sure we create an environment in which we can provide the best quality of care with the highest safety to our patients and the community, and to do that while lowering costs at the same time. “A critical component of this transformation is creating ‘centers of excellence,’ at which we can offer access to a range
“
Overall, the project will be a very good boost for the local trades.

George Decker, 80, has been looking for his dog, a three year old Yorkie mix, since it slipped away from him as he was taking it to the groomer’s at Coy and Navarre Avenue on Feb. 11. Decker is desperate to find the dog, which helped him recover from a stroke last year. “She’s my life,” said Decker, who Little Bitz has circulated fliers of the dog in hopes of finding it. “Next to my wife, she’s the most precious thing in my life. I raised her since she was a baby.” The dog, called “Little Bitz,” was a present from his daughter, Carol. Decker had taken the 10 lb. dog to Nose to Tail grooming at 3308 Navarre Avenue for a 9:30 a.m. appointment on Feb. 11. But the dog, wearing a pink wool coat with a red collar, made a dash for it when Decker opened the car door in the groomer’s parking lot. Little Bitz, with its pink leash trailing behind, crossed Navarre Avenue and ended up near the BP Gas Station. Amie Brodie, owner of Nose to Tail, said she was grooming a dog when she glanced out the window and saw Little Bitz rush by. After safely securing the dog she had been grooming into a crate, she ran down Navarre in the direction Little Bitz was heading. “But by that time I did not see her anymore,” said Brodie. “A woman stopped in her car and said to me that someone had just picked up the dog at the corner of Navarre and Coy. But she didn’t give me any more information. So I just kept running. By the time I got down there, though,
of in-depth services to patients and their families in one location,” he said. “It’s our great pleasure to develop our first Center of Excellence with experts from Catholic Health Partners Behavioral Health here at St. Charles.” The “Center of Excellence” model fits in with Mercy’s and Catholic Health Partners’ mission of treating the whole person – mind, body and spirit, throughout the whole lifespan, according to Dr. Donna Markham, president, Behavioral Health Institute, Catholic Health Partners. “Behavioral health is a critical component in one’s life and well-being, and needs to be integrated into the full continuum of care,” she said. “Today, healthcare professionals know the strong connections between mental and physical health – people with behavioral health issues are at higher risk of developing chronic physical conditions, and people with chronic physical health issues are at higher risk of developing behavioral health conditions.
“As the largest health system in Ohio, we recognize this link and are taking action to ensure that behavioral health concerns are addressed appropriately, at the right time and with the right treatment options available,” Dr. Markham said. “Patients and their families deserve nothing less.” The new facility’s comprehensive approach to behavioral health that doesn’t currently exist in the market, Dr. Markham said. “CHP and Mercy are leading the change throughout the state and locally,” Dr. Markham said. “We have two facilities that serve behavioral health patients – St. Vincent’s and St. Charles. Both of those facilities serve acute care patients alone. We do not have a continuum of care at either site. “After a lot of engagement with market leaders and taking a look at what seemed to be the best approach, we determined it would really be in the best interest of our patients if we could establish one comprehensive institute that would serve the needs of the patients in this community. “With that, we considered, where could we put a 62,000-square-foot facility that would be proximate to a hospital because of the medical needs that surface in behavioral health,” she said. “After considerable research, the determination was made that it would be on the St. Charles campus. “The new facility will offer acute care, which serves patients in their crisis time, when they need a safe environment to overcome the most critical stage of their illness,” (Continued on page 2)

Man desperately searches for lost dog Continued from front page she was gone.” Frantic, George and his wife, Addie, checked with Lucas County Canine Care & Control (formerly known as Lucas County Dog Warden) in hopes the woman had turned in the dog. But no such luck. The dog’s tags had been removed before it went to the groomer’s so they wouldn’t get lost, said Addie. “That was a big mistake,” she said. Addie said a witness later contacted her by phone saying that a female motorist had picked up Little Bitz just minutes after it had sprinted across the road, placed it in the back seat with her children before driving off. There was no description of the vehicle. Since then, George has been heartbroken. “I think about her all day,” he said. On Wednesday, he got up at 3 a.m., crying, said Addie. “He said he couldn’t sleep. He blames himself for not having a better grip on Little Bitz. Since he had a stroke, his hands are not very strong. That’s how she got away from him.”

Little Bitz, she said, is “his baby.” “He loves that dog beyond all. She tells him when to go to bed. She comes and gets him, then goes to the stairs,” said Addie. “She’s spoiled rotten. She has more than 30 dresses, a raincoat, a regular coat, and 10 leashes. And she has two big bags of toys.” Little Bitz played a big part in helping George recover from a stroke last year. While in the hospital, his health continued to decline after a series of smaller strokes, said Addie. Little Bitz turned that around after the doctor allowed Addie to bring it in for visits.
“When George was in the hospital, he didn’t know any of us,” recalled Addie. “He was just laying there. I asked the doctor if it was possible if I could bring in Little Bitz, and he said `Lord yes, bring in the dog, shut the hospital door, and let George pet her.’ That would be the best thing in the world for him.” Not long after, George’s health improved. The doctor “told us she’s the best thing that ever happened to both of us,” said Addie. George wants whoever picked up Little Bitz to know just what she means to him. “I love that dog,” said George, choking back tears, “just like she was one of my kids.” “George gets up in the morning and sits around. There’s nothing of interest to him. He just wants his dog,” said Addie. “And I want it for him. It belongs to him and he should have it.” The Deckers are offering a $200 reward for the return of Little Bitz “no questions asked.” “We just want her back,” said George. The Deckers can be reached at 419726-9316.

Dr. Markham said. “Expanded services will include partial hospitalization, which is a day program where patients come in the morning and then go home in the afternoon. They sleep at home so it doesn’t disrupt their lives. This helps to consolidate the gains they’ve made once they start feeling a little bit better.” The Behavioral Health Institute will also have intensive outpatient services. “There will be two different tracks – to serve chemical dependency and mental health patients,” Dr. Markham said. “We (Catholic Health Partners) have undertaken this in Moraine, Ohio, in Paducah, Ky., and there will be others across the state, but this one is our focus in the coming year,” she said. “Our work here in Lucas County is the most ambitious of our undertakings, given the size and the needs.” According to Brian Currin, project manager at Danis Building Construction, some preliminary site work has been started, and an official groundbreaking will be held when the weather permits. Though Danis is located in Miamisburg, the company has already begun to seek out local contractors for the project. “We’ll be using local paint, drywall and other contractors,” Currin said. “Overall, the project will be a very good boost for the local trades.” “We’re so excited about Mercy and Catholic Health Partners’ investment in the Oregon community,” said Mike Beasley, City of Oregon administrator. “Mercy has not only been a good employer, but also an excellent service provider in Oregon for a number of years.”

Oak Harbor
Village seeks change for flood relief Lesley Sharples won’t soon forget Christmas 2013. Four days before Christmas a rainstorm caused a sewer system backup that dumped gallons of raw sewage into the basement of her Oak Harbor home. She and her husband lost a new $7,000 furnace, washer and dryer and numerous personal items as several feet of sewer water ravaged her home. Sharples has repeatedly visited village council to monitor progress in quelling the sewer backups she fears any time of a snow or rain fall. She insists flooding problems intensified when the Ohio Department of Transportation renovated State Route 19 a couple of years ago. “What happens if my house collapses because the basement collapses?” Sharples asked. She noted emphatically several times she will not pay her storm sewer bill until the problem is solved because she is not receiving the service. Village leaders hang their hopes, for now, on a newly hired consultant, the Jones & Henry engineering firm, which is formulating a plan to submit to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. First, though, engineers are seeking a temporary permit modification to open a crucial Portage Street combined sewer overflow valve and up to four others to help relieve some of the immediate pressure. Fixing the overall problem is likely to cost millions the village doesn’t have right now. So, village leaders hope to get an EPA blessing before the spring rains begin. The engineers plan to focus on the permit section regarding damage to personal health and personal property. As a result, they will turn to residents and the stories they have to tell. Wastewater treatment plant supervisor Jerry Neff said he turned over to the engineers a list of residents who have experienced flooding since September 2011. Thirty-five homes were impacted by the pre-Christmas deluge, according to Dan Miller, a company spokesman for the Toledo office of Jones & Henry. Many of them are repeat cases from previous storm sewer overflow incidents, he said. The engineering team won’t be conducting individual interviews. More likely, Miller said, the village will hold a public hearing where engineers can gather comments to build a strong case to present to EPA officials. A hearing date hasn’t been set. Miller and others will travel to Oak Harbor on Feb. 27 to update the administration on its work, walk through the system and discuss strategy. The public hearing will likely be one of the subjects, he said.

What happens if my house collapses because the basement collapses?

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press
Landlord Adam Snyder is among the December flooding victims. Eleven of his rental homes were hit with flooding. He said he is tired of rushing to protect property all hours of the day and fears his policy may be cancelled due to the number of claims filed. Mayor Bill Eberle said if the village is liable for flooding, its insurance may be responsible for the residents’ deductibles. He told affected residents to have their insurance companies file claims with the village’s local representative, the
Druckenmiller Agency. Mark Sharples told council in late January he had filed a claim with the agency. On Tuesday, Druckenmiller representatives said they could not comment on how many others residents had filed floodrelated claims. The company cannot divulge any village business, staff said. When contacted afterward, interim village administrator Randy Genzman said he didn’t know either. At a request of The Press, he said he would ask the village’s primary carrier. A rain storm dropped nearly 6 inches on the area Feb. 1. No one reported any flooding difficulties then, according to former administrator Robert Pauley in his final days on the job. Mounting snow mounds combined with a warming trend and a forecast of rain pose the next serious threat. In anticipation, village crews spent the past few days clearing debris from street catch basins to allow a clear flow to the wastewater plant. Some residents have followed suit. Genzman said he prays for a nice slow melt. In the end, he added, “It is what it is and we’ll deal with what comes along.”

Lake Twp.
ATV proves very handy in lake rescue By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Less than a week after the fire departments of Lake and Jerusalem townships held a joint training session with an allterrain vehicle along Lake Erie, the vehicle played a vital role in an emergency situation on the frozen lake. Lake Township Fire Chief Bruce Moritz said his department’s Argo vehicle - which can be equipped with wheels or tracks and can float - was used Feb. 17 to rescue a man from the lake who became disoriented looking for his two lost sons. Chief Moritz said personnel from the Jerusalem Township and City of Oregon fire departments operated the vehicle to locate the man and return him to the shore. The family had been visiting Maumee Bay State Park. The boys, who also had become dis-
oriented when the wind kicked up, had walked to Turtle Island before being located. “It was a good outcome,” Chief Moritz said during Tuesday’s meeting of the Lake Township trustees. Lake Township personnel responded to the emergency with the vehicle as part of a mutual aid request. Park rangers and the Coast Guard also responded. Chief Moritz said more training sessions with the vehicle will be held in a few weeks as spring – and the prospect of the lake thawing – approach. “They liked what they saw,” he said of Jerusalem Township personnel who worked with the vehicle. On Feb. 16, personnel from the Coast Guard, the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department and Jerusalem Township assisted an injured snowmobiler off the lake near Crane Creek. The injured man requested assistance but was unsure of his location. A sheriff’s
deputy walked to the man about a mile offshore and radioed the Coast Guard and township fire department. After fire department personnel secured the man to a backboard, the Coast Guard placed him in an inflatable rescue craft that was towed to shore with the man’s snowmobile.
Snow issues Lake Township’s road department racked up 344 ½ hours of overtime in January due to snow removal efforts, Dan McLargin, road supervisor, reported to the trustees. Another four hours were needed to replace two stop signs, he said. McLargin estimated the township’s supply of road salt at 200 tons. Another 300 tons are on order but he was doubtful it would be received before spring. Chief Moritz urged township residents to “adopt” a fire hydrant in their neighborhoods by clearing the snow from around the hydrants.

Oregon plans improvements to Navarre Avenue By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com
Oregon plans on making a number of improvements to Navarre Avenue (State Route 2) based on an Access Management Study conducted in 2012 that examined the safety of vehicles pulling out of businesses onto the busy thoroughfare. Although the $2,718,327 Navarre Avenue safety project is in the design phase, it is scheduled to be completed in May 2016. The project will be financed though the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Safety Fund, and City Street Improvement Fund. According to Public Service Director Paul Roman, the project will include the following: • Improvements at the State Route 2/ Wheeling Street intersection, including the addition of a second southbound left turn lane, the relocation of the existing median island, and the modification of a signal to accommodate protected left turns in all directions; • Construction of a median along State Route 2 between Munding Drive and Isaac
Streets Drive; • Construction of bulb-outs and median openings to accommodate U-turns and emergency access; • Construction of a dedicated public access road with right-in/right-out at State Route 2 to serve businesses and provide emergency vehicle access; • Upgrading signals to improve visibility and accommodate pedestrians and U-turns; • Upgrading lane control and directional signage; • Providing micro-surfacing to improve skid resistance and eliminate conflicting pavement markings; • Providing/upgrading pedestrian accommodation (ramps). The city also plans on starting the following projects this year: • Roadway improvement program, which consists of the resurfacing and/or repair of various streets throughout the city, involving asphalt resurfacing, pavement planning, base repairs, underdrains, catch basin adjustments, and curb replacement, $800,000. • Various storm drainage projects, including drainage improvements to Patchen Road and Cresceus Road; Van Buren
Avenue; Arthur Street; and Jersey Road and Rogers Lane, $308,000. • Annual waterline replacement program consisting of 6,000 feet of new waterline, $800,000. • The Bioretention Facility Community Demonstration project, which consists of the construction of innovative storm water treatment cells that capture and treat storm water runoff from parking lots. The $112,000 Bioretention project will be completed at the South Recreation Complex soccer fields, off of Starr Avenue Extension. Cells are created with an engineered soil mix and planted with specific plants that help to either trap or uptake storm water contaminants, as well as, reduce runoff volumes during rain events. There will be nine different cells created adjacent to existing parking lots near the soccer fields. Partnering with Clay High School students, the city will also have public information signage on site to help explain these storm water practices to the public. Clay students are currently working on signage design and associated research. • Phase 3 of the Oregon Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project, which consists of the rehabilitation of mainline and lateral sanitary sewers in the Euclid Park,
Old Eastmoreland and Valley Park areas. The $3,165,000 project is a continuation of the required sanitary sewer rehabilitation by the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant Ohio EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Sanitary sewer rehabilitation projects Phases I and 2 have been completed. • Cedar Point Road improvements, consisting of relocating Cedar Point Road 1,000 feet south of its current location between Wynn Road and just east of Otter Creek Road. The purpose of the $5,000,000 project is to accommodate future industrial growth for BP-Husky Refining and adjacent property owners. • Phase 1 of the Wastewater Treatment Plant secondary treatment improvements, which include the replacement of two influent screens, replacement of three raw sewage pump motor drives, replacement of two blowers, full replacement of air piping and replacement of air diffusers in aeration tanks, a dissolved oxygen control system, site restoration, and associated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition upgrades. Phase 1 will also improve plant efficiency by reducing energy costs.

The trio is comprised of Ford, who has opened for such diverse artists as Gregory Hines and the Makem Brothers. He has also touched the lives of more than a quartermillion school children through his educational programs. He is joined by his daughter Beth Ford, who joins her father on vocals, cello and electric bass. Jan Finkle completes the trio, performing on the flute, whistle, guitar and whatever else can fit in her basket. Bob Ford and the Ragamuffins has brought audiences to life in small concert halls, clubs, schools, and at festivals, presenting an array of heartwarming songs and hilarious stories that draw in listeners — and whisk them back to yesteryear. From familiar folk tunes to classics by Burl Ives, Tommy Makem and the Kingston Trio, their musical repertoire evokes nostalgia for the simpler pleasures of the good old days. Tickets are $10 and are available at Beeker’s General Store or by calling Carol at 419-287-4848. The performance includes hits from the 1570s to the 1970s.

“The Pittsburgh Kid” Billy Conn. “Sugar” Ray Robinson. “Smokin” Joe Frazier. Willie Pep, Floyd Patterson, and of course, Muhammad Ali. These seemingly-indestructible men – along with other pugilists, have lived with Parkinson’s Disease, which can rob them of their coordination, cause defects in speech, blur vision, disturb sleep, stunt memory, and cause tremors of the limbs, neck, and head. Former Toledo-area boxer Harry Cummins knows this, so the coach and promoter is throwing his hat into the ring to lend a hand in the ongoing battle against Parkinson’s. Cummins’ International Boxing Club (formerly Fun Spot Roller Skating Rink, Oregon) will hold the “Knock-out Parkinson’s Potluck Dinner” on Feb. 27 from 6-9 p.m. It will be open to the general public, with a $20 donation and a potluck dish to share serving as a cover charge. He is starting a brand-new program at his own International Boxing Club in Oregon later this spring with help and inspiration from a graduate student in the University of Toledo’s occupational therapy department named Rachel Martinez, a 2007 graduate of Clay High School. “About five years ago, I was out in California where I came across this young man who was a really good, talented boxer, and I was sitting behind this young man, which is when I noticed the way his head and neck kept moving, and as it turns out, it’s Parkinson’s Disease that was causing it,” shares Cummins. Cummins came to the realization that this disease can touch anyone at any time. It doesn’t discriminate according to age. At the time the boxer was only 19. Cummins had a conversation with Dr. Beth Ann Hatkevich of the UT occupational therapy department, and she asked if Parkinson's patients could work out therapeutically at the gym. "Rachel, whose brother Steve used to box for us before he went into the United States Coast Guard, came to me with the idea of starting a Parkinson’s program right
Harry Cummins. (Press file photo) here at the IBC as part of her internship with UT, I was all for it," Cummins added. Martinez, 25, says a physical therapist at University of Toledo Medical Center named Dr. Michelle Masterson, had brought a similar idea to her. Programs already offered Rachel and Steve have also been known to take advantage of programs already offered to the public by the IBC, most notably adult boxercise. “It was Dr. Masterson who introduced me to a gym in Indianapolis called ‘Rock Steady Boxing’ which already has a similar Parkinson’s program. And, I also do have a family member who had Parkinson’s Disease and she was never very active. And that’s what I’ve learned, that exercise can be very beneficial to people suffering from Parkinson’s. “There are just a lot of things in boxing that can specifically help out with Parkinson’s Disease symptoms. It can help a person’s balance. It can help with the rigid stiffness in their muscles. It works with
Redfern, Brown named to Issue 1 panel By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Two state representatives from Northwest Ohio are among the legislators appointed to prepare arguments in favor of Issue 1, the state capital improvements bond issue that will be on the May 6 ballot. Representatives Tim Brown, a Republican, and Democrat Chris Redfern were named to the pro-issue group along with Stephanie Kunze, a Republican representative, and senators Kevin Bacon and Gayle Manning, Republicans, and Democrat Eric Kearney. If the issue is passed, it will continue a program that began in 1987 to provide financing for road, bridge, sewer and other infrastructure projects.
Arguments prepared by the lawmakers include: • All 88 counties in the state have benefited from more than 11,500 grants for local projects and an estimated 35,000 jobs will be created. • The issue will bring needed repairs to “deteriorating roads, bridges and other facilities.” • The issue doesn’t raise taxes and the funds to repay project bonds are “already built into state budget planning.” The state’s bond rating makes it possible for a “modest increase” in funding for the capital improvements and the issue reduces pressure to raise local government taxes. • The ballot issue received bipartisan support in the legislature, passing in the House of Representatives 90-2 and in the Senate 31-0. The arguments don’t mention the debt

that would be incurred if the issue passes. It would re-authorize the issuance of $1.875 billion in general obligation debt over 10 years and allow annual funding amounts of $150-$175 million in the first five years and $200 million in the last five. An analysis by the Legislative Service Commission estimates if the state issued $175 million in bonds annually in fiscal years 2017-2021 and $200 million each in fiscal years 2022-26 with a maturity of 30 years and a 4.5 percent interest rate, the total cost of debt service would be about $3.5 billion. The state constitution sets a limit of 5 percent on the amount of general revenue fund-backed debt the state may incur in a fiscal year. However, the limit may be waived by voters or a three-fifths majority vote of each chamber of the legislature, according to the analysis.

their footwork, which could be beneficial to those with Parkinson’s who shuffle. Plus, it’s a lot of fun. “The Parkinson’s population here in Oregon and East Toledo is very strong. ‘Rock Steady’ is offering three or four different ‘training camps’ this spring.” Rock Steady administrative manager Jessica Fithen said, “Currently, we have about 160 active Parkinson’s members here. They range in age from their late 30s, to early 90s. We have over 20 affiliates in 11 states, including three international affiliates, so our Training Camp program is a big part of how we want to reach more people with Parkinson’s.” At the potluck Thursday, Martinez, who holds Bachelor of Science degree with an impetus on exercise study from Ohio State University, will be a speaker. There will also be a disc jockey and silent auction. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go towards covering Coach Cummins’ and Martinez’s travel expenses to Indianapolis, where the pair will look to glean knowledge and training from “Rock Steady”. Leftover funds will go toward the purchase of equipment for participants who may need to stay seated in a chair when they throw those lefts and rights. Further, Martinez would like the IBC to serve as a home for Parkinson’s Disease support groups, held every time a participant comes in for a bi-weekly, or thriceweekly workout session. “This fits right into our program nicely because we already do have that program called ‘Gloves with Love,’ through which we do a lot of community service work, such as helping out with the Special Olympics, serving meals to the homeless at St. Paul’s Community Center, and just doing a lot of different things to give back to our community. This is what we want the IBC to be all about…for our gym and our members to be champions outside of the ring, as we give back to our various communities, and always strive to lend a hand to those in need,” Cummins said. For tickets in advance for the “Knockout Parkinson’s Potluck Dinner” at the IBC on Feb. 27, e-mail Rachel Martinez at rmartin29@rockets.utoledo.edu. Tickets can be purchased at the IBC.

Last Week's Results If you were able, would you feel safe traveling to Sochi, Russia for the Olympics? 62% No 38% Yes
Guest Editorial Cheers for U.S. manufacturing By Senator Sherrod Brown At the 2012 Summer Olympic opening ceremony, Team USA took the stage wearing foreign-made red, white, and blue uniforms. At a time when so many good jobs had disappeared overseas, the news that our Olympic team was being forced to wear uniforms made overseas was an outrage. It made no sense that an American organization would place a Chinese-made beret on the heads of our best athletes when we have capacity to make high-end apparel right here at home. That’s why I passed a resolution calling on the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) to change this, and it promised it would do so. Last week, at the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics, we saw the USOC live up to its pledge, as Team USA took the stage sporting American-made apparel. But while it was great to see Olympic athletes wearing uniforms with a “USAmade” label, there’s more that we can do now to boost American manufacturing. Ohio has a long and storied history of designing and manufacturing clothing and apparel and we must continue to help small businesses across our state grow and succeed. Our apparel companies – like American Made Bags in Akron and All American Clothing in Arcanum – can compete with anyone in the world, if given a level playing field. But, the U.S. government spends more than $1.5 billion on clothing made in factories overseas. We need to be doing all that we can to invest in our own manufacturing base – and that begins with ensuring our government is doing its part. My bill, the Wear American Act, would change an existing law that requires 51 percent of the federal government’s nondefense textile and apparel purchases be made with U.S. products. We can do better than that. Why shouldn’t apparel and textiles purchased by U.S. tax dollars be 100 percent Americanmade? This isn’t rocket science. It just makes plain sense to put U.S. tax dollars back into the U.S. economy. When we do have to buy goods that are made overseas, we need to make sure we aren’t doing business with contractors who violate labor rights and worker safety laws, especially as they apply to child labor. That’s why I am urging the General Services Administration (GSA) to ensure that federal agencies not only disclose the locations of the factories they contract with, but that they are aware of and take their working conditions into account when making purchasing decisions. We should be in the business of creating policies that reward hardworking Ohioans, who want to create jobs in Ohio – rather than supporting policies that help companies send U.S. jobs overseas or take part in questionable labor practices. Right now, the stakes couldn’t be higher. We must do everything we can to support American workers.
Opposes death penalty To the editor: In response to Ms. Schiavone’s letter published in the Feb. 17 issue of The Press about the execution of Dennis McGuire for murder, we call ourselves a Christian nation. As Christians we are called to forgive. I will readily admit that if Dennis McGuire had committed such an act against my family, I would find it very hard to extend forgiveness. But nonetheless, I would still be called to forgive. We live in a disposable society. Tired of your partner? File for divorce. An unwanted or inconvenient pregnancy? Have an abortion. The killing of innocent persons in a military action is collateral damage. The profits of insurance companies are more important than providing decent health care. Need to solve problems involving criminals? Execute them. The Catholic Church, and especially the late Pope John Paul II, have called for a consistent ethic of life. Executions violate that consistent ethic of life. During his 1999 visit to St. Louis, John Paul II specifically stated that the death penalty is no longer needed to protect society from criminals. From a practical standpoint, executions cost a great deal of taxpayer money, much more than life imprisonment. The average time from conviction to execution is 17 years. That statistic does not support the idea of closure for victims, swift justice or deterrence. Innocent people have been executed in the past, which is the main reason Illinois and other states have abolished the death penalty. A recent example in Ohio was the re-

lease of Derrick Jamison in 2005 one day before his scheduled execution. His release was obtained because the prosecution withheld critical evidence from the defense. Pharmaceutical manufacturers have refused to sell to states, including Ohio, that use their drugs for executions. Western European countries have abolished the death penalty. Maybe others are trying to tell the State of Ohio something. The question is, are the elected leaders and citizens of Ohio listening? Not only is the death penalty seriously flawed, it is an affront to the dignity of human life. Ohio is using my tax dollars to commit legalized murder in my name. I agree with Rev. Robert Schramm, why do we kill to show that killing is wrong? Donald Rozick Woodville
A friend to animals To the editor: Animals have lost a dear friend with the passing of comic great Sid Caesar. Sid had a huge heart for animals, especially dogs, and he and his family adopted several dogs from animal shelters and rescue groups over the years. In an article in Los Angeles’ “The Pet Press” magazine, Sid said that animals are “really true friends. And if you want animal friends, please get them from the pound. They appreciate it. A little love, a little food, and you’ve got friends for life.”
If you’re looking for a new best friend, please help keep Sid’s legacy of compassion alive by opening your heart and home to a needy dog or cat at a shelter instead of buying animals from breeders. There are thousands of sweet, healthy dogs and cats waiting in animal shelters everywhere, longing for a kind person to take them home and make them part of their family.

Appalled and disgusted To the editor: Are there any Oregon residents out there who are appalled and disgusted by being misled to prove we needed a senior levy? We are shown “facts and figures” to show the need. A levy presented with untruths proved a “levy not needed” at all. So much for our leaders and honesty. Now the money from that levy is burning a hole in their pockets, so let’s throw a little here and a little there, but not give us the new or improved senior center we voted for – accomplishing nothing. Let’s all watch carefully how this money is spent. But be wise...don’t expect voters to believe you again when you ask for another levy for anything specific. Norma Newell Oregon
It’s your life, so it’s your turn to drive In life, you are the driver, not a passenger. You are ultimately in charge of the route you travel. The decisions you make or don’t make impact your journey. As the driver, you have to deal with other traffic, road conditions and weather. You have to be aware of what is going on around you at all times. For safe travel, you make whatever adjustments are needed when needed. All you have control over are your actions. Your life is your responsibility. Blaming other people or circumstances has the same impact as letting go of the steering wheel; you will run off the road and crash. You may possibly get lost on your journey. If this happens, you need to ask directions or look at a map. Waiting for the situation to improve on its own is useless. Getting back on track requires deliberate action on your part. When a road is closed or blocked, you have to take an unplanned detour. Doing so is necessary in order to reach your objective. When faced with a detour, you don’t give up, get out of your car, and lie down on the side of the road. Instead, you follow the alternate route to your destination. Suppose after arriving at your destination you decide it’s not what you expected or not what you wanted. Remaining there would be foolish. It makes more sense to go someplace else. It doesn’t matter how long or arduous a journey you took. If you are not happy where you have wound up, find a more desirable destination and go there. It’s nice when everything works out exactly as planned. But your trip can take longer than expected. Traffic, detours, getting lost, and the weather all add to your travel time. It’s easy to become impatient. The problems you have to deal with are
Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden frustration inducing. Expending more effort than anticipated is not unusual. Every successful trip requires patience as you deal with obstacles as they occur. The longer the trip, the more challenges you will face. Being able to handle whatever situations arise is essential in order to reach your destination. Long trips require preparation. Your destination should be known. The route must be planned. Your car needs to be in good working condition. Your bags have to be packed and loaded into the car. Similarly in life, having the skills, knowledge, and ability necessary to reach your destination enhances your ability to reach it. Preparation greatly increases your capacity to succeed. Developing good driving skills requires practice. Do you remember how awkward it felt to be behind the wheel of a car for the first time? The more you drive, the better you become. Practice is key to improving. You want to practice driving under any conditions you may encounter. Urban driving requires a different skill set than country driving. In order to prepare for driving in snow you have to drive in snow. The same requirements hold true for driving in the rain or at night. Restricting your driving to ideal conditions leaves you unprepared to handle the unexpected. Life is no different than driving a car.
In both situations, you are responsible for the direction you are headed. The decisions you make determine your experience and impact your ability to reach your destination. Decide where you want to go. Determine the best way to get there. Prepare for your journey. Get started. You are responsible for where you are now. If you are not happy with your current situation, it’s up to you to change direction. Take the wheel and get going to wherever you would like to be.

February, 2004 News: A painting, once part of a collection entitled European Sojourn and worth an estimated $5,000, took a strange sojourn through “The Nickel.” The painting “Indulgence,” was reported stolen from Gumbo’s Bayou Grille, a Tom Cousino restaurant located at The Docks in East Toledo. A city worker conducting a litter sweep in the International Park parking lot picked it up thinking it was a piece of cardboard. When he saw what it was he took it back to the city shop and eventually to his East Toledo home. A month later, after reading an article about the painting in The Press, he contacted Cousino and returned the painting. The artwork depicted a monk selling Indulgences and was painted by East Toledo artist Steve Conine. Larry Dillin, president of Dillin Development Corporation, announced plans to include two high-rise residential buildings in his $325 million plans for the Marina District Sports: Scott Bergman, a Woodmore grad and a three-year starter at Bluffton College, carried a 13.3 point-per-game scoring average which ranked him second in scoring for the Beavers.

Mahoney joins Pasztor, Skeldon in Stritch hall of fame By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Longtime Cardinal Stritch Catholic administrator Tim Mahoney joined graduates William M. Pasztor, Jr. (1965) and Phillip C. Skeldon, Jr. (1980) as inductees into the school’s hall of fame. A banquet was held before the holidays. Timothy P. Mahoney Mahoney began his 30-plus year career at CSCHS in 1979 when he was hired as a science teacher. He was named science department chairperson in 1983, and in 1984 he became the Dean of Discipline for the boys. In 1987, he was named Associate Principal and on July 1, 1997 Mahoney was appointed as the first nonreligious Principal in the school’s history, and served in that capacity until 2010. From 2002 through 2007, he served on the Bishop’s Education Council, and in 2005 he received the Father John A. Thomas Leadership Award. Mahoney is currently employed as the Curriculum Coordinator for the Diocese of Toledo. He and his wife, Maureen, have six children — all of whom are CSCHS graduates – Tara ‘00, Padraic ‘01, Seamus ‘02, Casey Gargac ’05, Delaney ‘09, and Murphy ’11. They also have one grandchild. “In my time at Stritch, I participated or helped in many school activities, including numerous festivals and musicals. I served as Quiz Bowl and Student Council moderator for many years, and was a freshman football coach for three years,” Mahoney wrote. “During my tenure as an administrator I oversaw the transition to block scheduling in the ‘90s, as well as the implementation and expansion of technology. This included everything from the development of computer labs to the installation of SMART boards in the classrooms and laptops for all teachers. “During my tenure as principal, CSCHS was named one of the Top 50 Catholic High Schools in the country by the Catholic High School Honor Roll in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009.” William M. Pasztor, Jr., ‘65 (posthumously) Pasztor was a member of the first graduating class of CSCHS. As a student, he was a four-year member of the basketball

and baseball teams, played football and ran track, was a home room representative, served as the president of the chorus, and was a member of the Drama and Varsity S clubs. After Stritch, he attended The University of Toledo, and graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Education degree, majoring in Physical Education and Health Education and minoring in Earth Science. He later returned to school, and in 1990, earned his Master of Education degree, majoring in Applied Exercise Sciences. He began his long teaching career as the Physical Education Teacher at Wynn and Starr elementary schools from 197089. During that time, he also coached the Wynn Oregon Recreation football team and the first Oregon girls’ basketball team. Pasztor taught the first outdoor education program at Camp Courageous and later taught at Camp High Hope and Camp Mohican. He also implemented and taught a Saturday elementary gymnastic program, and taught visual perception programs for primary and early education students. He also developed the Adaptive Physical Education program for Oregon Schools, where he served as a consultant to teachers throughout the system in working with handicapped students of all age levels. In 1997, Pasztor also served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toledo, was a certified Crisis Prevention Intervention Instructor for Oregon City Schools from 1990-2006, and was the director of the Eagle Learning Center from 2006-10. During all these activities, Pasztor
William Pasztor
somehow found time for other community service. He was a member of the Hungarian Club; an Oregonian Club Trustee; served on the Lucas County Mental Health Board from 1991-1993; the East Center for Community Mental Health, serving as both president and vice-president: a Birmingham Hall of Fame Trustee from 1988-2010: and a member of the Oregon City Federation of Teachers from 1970 through 2006, serving as president from 1992-2006. He was also a member of the Ohio Federations of Teachers, involved in the Democratic Club, and began the move to keep the Birmingham Library open. Pasztor urged the CSCHS Class of 1965 to raise money for the school sign at the Coy Road entrance in 1992, and initiated the first-ever CSCHS combined `60s reunion in 2005. He and his wife, Jane, have twin daughters, Melinda Kennedy ‘95 (Keith ‘94), and Melissa Mummert ’95 (Brian ‘94), and four grandchildren, Logan and Morgan Kennedy and Blake and Brianna Mummert. Philip C. Skeldon, Jr. ‘80 Traveling from the south end of Toledo everyday to attend Stritch was very challenging, but if you ask Skeldon, he will tell you, “they were the best four years of my life.” With three older brothers, (Marty ‘68, Peter ’75 and Jeff ‘78, and a brother-in-law, Dr. Paul Dusseau ‘67) who were CSCHS alumni, it was easy for Phil to find his niche. He immediately became involved playing football and tennis, as well as in the musical productions playing Lt. Cable in “South Pacific” and Billy Bigelow in
“Carousel.” After graduation, Skeldon attended The University of Toledo, earning both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He returned once again to his alma mater to student teach with Dan Foote and Carol Swartz. His love of the performing arts led him to more than 30 stage productions in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan at The Toledo Rep, The Village Players, The University of Toledo and Croswell Opera House. It was during that time that Skeldon was named Best Theatrical Performer by the Lake Erie West Awards. Skeldon has been teaching at St. John’s Jesuit for 28 years, and is currently the Christian Service Director. He has been recognized in “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers,” and has established many national and international service immersion programs in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Appalachia, and Camden, N.J. With the help of others, he established the Toledo Labre Program, which meets every Monday to serve simple meals to the hungry in the central city of Toledo. Skeldon is also a former member of America’s Promise Youth Volunteerism Committee. Earlier this year, Skeldon was honored as BCSN Teacher of the Year and was the Diocese of Toledo Golden Apple Award winner. Skeldon also served on the Chuck Ealey Foundation Board and established the Undefeated Mentoring Program with Chuck Ealey for Kids at MLK, Jr. Academy for Boys. Skeldon also currently serves as the Service Director Chair for Jesuit schools in the Midwest. After his wife, Gretchen’s, death from breast cancer in 2010, Skeldon, his friends and family, created the Gretchen Gotthart Skeldon Fund to financially support three types of agencies which were dear to his late wife — and also to carry on her legacy of service to the community: 1. Agencies which serve women struggling with breast cancer. 2. Agencies which serve children with terminal illnesses. 3. Agencies which serve children with disabilities. In the last three years, the Gretchen Gotthart Skeldon Fund has gifted close to $100,000 to the local agencies. Skeldon and his 9-year-old daughter, Lily, currently reside in Sylvania.
Owens students learning in new Culinary Arts Center Culinary arts students at Owens Community College recently began classes in the newly constructed Culinary Arts Center on the Toledo-area campus. The facility spans 14,000-square-feet – an increase over the 3,700-square-foot kitchen lab where classes were taught in the past. The new facility includes three culinary labs – a baking lab, a culinary skills lab, and a restaurant skills lab. It also includes a classroom and a 75-person capacity dining area with a dem-
onstration station. The center’s large dining area will host lunches and special events, giving students real-world experience creating menus, preparing and plating food and serving. “This new facility creates many new and exciting opportunities for our students that were not available in our old space,” said Joann Gruner, chair, Food, Nutrition and Hospitality. “Having a larger space will also allow us to reduce student wait lists and more easily meet the needs of the com-
munity by providing non-credit courses and industry training in culinary arts.” State appropriated capital renovation and equipment funds were used to finance the $3.1 million construction project, completed by Holland, Ohio-based Midwest Contracting. Owens received major grants from The Honor Project Trust in the amount of $50,056 for audiovisual and information technology systems and from The Andersons Inc. Charitable Foundation in the amount of $25,000 for equipment.
Libbey Glass also made an in-kind donation of tableware and service ware. The Culinary Arts Center is home to five academic programs – the Associate of Applied Science degree in Culinary Arts, the Associate of Applied Science degree in Dietetic Technology, Associate of Applied Business degree in Hospitality Management, a Culinary Arts certificate and a Baking and Pastry certificate.

Donations make Genoa iPad lab a virtual reality By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com Joe Badger can recall that, back in the day when he went to college, it was rare for students to have their own computers. “I started at Clarkson College in 1979; in then in 1980, all incoming freshmen got a Zenith desktop computer,” said Badger, president of Genoa-based JBI Corp., an independent battery testing laboratory. “I was already a sophomore, so I didn’t get one.” A lifelong Genoa resident, Badger was looking for a way to help bring greater access to technology – a vital part of education today – to Genoa High School students. In late 2012, he approached thenschool board president Mitch Hoyles, who told Badger about the Genoa Academic Committee (G.A.C.), a newly-formed academic booster group whose goal was to encourage, promote, support, and reward academic excellence for students at Genoa High School. “I knew there were boosters for music, sports and other groups,” Badger said. “I wanted to find a mechanism to support academics, especially in light of ongoing budget cuts our schools are facing.” Hoyles put Badger in touch with Kellie Szymanski, president of the G.A.C. “When I met with Joe and his wife and they heard what we were doing, they were thrilled,” Szymanski said. “He wrote us a check for $1,000 that day, and called me some time later to make another $5,000 donation, with the stipulation the funds be earmarked for technology. “I had also met with Marty Sutter at GenoaBank,” she said. “ He and Joe are friends, and they are both big proponents of academics. We were so grateful to find that the bank board had agreed to make a $5,000 donation, that would also be earmarked for technology.” Dr. Aaron Meinke, of Genoa Medical Center, and his wife Laura, a school board member (currently president), wanted to
Marty Sutter, Joe Badger, and Laura Meinke with Genoa High School students Haley Gerke, Erica Harder, and Emma Trainer. contribute toward the effort. With the donations in hand, the G.A.C., with Genoa High School Principal Cari Buehler and technology coordinator Tom Baker, determined that creating an iPad lab would be the best use of the funds, in order to benefit the most number of students. “He found us a wonderful deal on iPads, a cart and accessories,” Szymanski said. The iPad lab, which includes 24 iPads loaded with a handful of apps including iBooks, Educreations, Discovery, NASA Science and calculators, is currently available for teachers to use in classrooms, as well as for check-out by individuals or small groups of students. “On behalf of the staff and students I am forever grateful for the generosity with-

in our Genoa community,” Buehler said. “This is a community that rallies around our kiddos to do and provide whatever is needed to make their career at Genoa High School the best that it can be. “Because of the recent generous donations from JBI, GenoaBank, and Dr. and Mrs. Meinke, our students and staff have a daily opportunity to enrich their classroom experiences,” she said. “Students now are taking their learning to a whole new level, whether that be through creating podcasts in English class or graphing equations in calculus...we are striving to develop that 21st century learner.” “These students will someday be the future leaders and decision-makers for Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan,” Sutter said. “GenoaBank is a bank that be-
lieves in playing our part. We share a common interest in supporting the people, places and events that make our community such a special place to live. “We truly believe this gift of sponsoring the iPad Lab at GHS will continue to enrich the lives of the children and teachers who live, work, and attend school in our community,” he said. In light of the iPad lab’s success, the G.A.C. is hoping to be able to buy more in the future. “Of course, we’d love to have more and we’re looking for grants to fund purchase of more iPads, but unfortunately, grants are not easy to get. “We are so grateful to our very caring and giving local businesses, including JBI, GenoaBank and Dr. and Mrs. Meinke,” Szymanski said. “It’s so gratifying how the business community has stepped up,” she said. “In the year since we organized, we’ve been able to accomplish so much, with the help of the GHS staff, parents, and community members,” she said. Szymanski credited Riverside Machine and Automation, which has been sponsoring quarterly incentives – including a pancake breakfast and dessert buffet – for students who achieve honor and high honor roll. The company also sponsors a lunch presented by the G.A.C. to a teacher chosen as Teacher of the Month. “Rayz Café has been wonderful too, allowing us to have two ‘Rayz Dayz’ fundraisers to benefit the G.A.C.,” Szymanski said. The committee is currently planning its biggest fundraiser ever – a 5K night run called “Brighten the Night,” which will be held Sept. 20 at 9 p.m., in conjunction with the Genoa Street Fair. “We’re working with the Toledo Roadrunners – it’s going to be a fun event,” Szymanski said. To make a donation to the G.A.C. or for more information, call Buehler at 419-8557741, ext. 21201. The community is invited to attend committee meetings, which are held the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the high school library.

Inspirational Jim “Basketball” Jones takes his message to schools By Stephanie Szozda Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com
Jim "Basketball" Jones gives an inspiring and unique presentation to the middle schoolers at Woodmore High School encouraging antibullying, character development and healthy life choices. (Press photo by Stephanie Szozda) In sixth grade, Jones started juggling and doing basketball tricks, and in the seventh grade, while competing in a talent show, he discovered his love for entertaining. In high school Jones soon discovered that he had a dream. His goal was to go to college and earn a degree. This was considered to be an unrealistic and unattainable goal by many and Jones found no lack of discouragement. He recalls one of the greatest influences in his life was provided by teacher Irene Schuster, in a class he took his senior year entitled, “Reading for the Real World,” designed to help students improve their reading levels. “She worked with me on reading strategies and took my reading rate my senior year from a second-grade reading level and pretty much doubled the volume of words I read per minute. But she also taught us how to break down studying and break down a book.” Then Jones took the ACT and received a disappointing score, which included a high of 28 in math and a low of nine in reading. “The guidance counselor literally said, ‘We don’t really think you should go to college; you’re really not going to be able
“
...But what they couldn’t test is my ability to schedule my time, and also, in college, I was able to focus a lot more on numbers than words.
“
There’s a one-man show in town and he has proven to be an incredible resource to local and national educators, businesses and organizations – one that is already being taken advantage of by area schools such as Woodmore, Oregon, Genoa, Rossford, Northwood and Oak Harbor. Jim Basketball Jones is the founder and star of one of the most successful one-person assemblies in the country. Though he prefers to stay within a 300 mile radius of Toledo, Jones has been paid thousands of dollars to travel from coast to coast giving inspirational assemblies at local and private schools, corporations, religious organizations and everything in between. Dealing mainly with students and teachers at all levels of education; he customizes his presentations to cater to each audience, and to the topics chosen by the client. His presentations deal with topics ranging from bullying; character education such as respect, and trustworthiness; personal development and success and also teacher training and corporate speaking. He feels his personal experiences and struggles enable him to connect with people and to discuss how it’s possible to triumph through adversity. As a child, Jones was diagnosed with dyslexia, which he explains is “a languageprocessing issue that slows people down.” “Some people have issues with the writing and the letters and associating sounds with those letters. It is not a sign of a lack of intelligence because there’re tons of successful, unbelievably gifted and talented dyslexics,” he said. “So it’s more of a learning ‘challenge’ than a learning disability.” Jones was in a special education class from first through fifth grade and had tutors until 10th grade, when he was officially out of the special education program, but took remedial classes in place of college preparation classes. “I worked so much on reading and being out of class (in elementary school), I didn’t have the stuff that normal kids would get,” he recalled. “It was very frustrating because I would miss out on so much ‘normal’ education because they would be working on my reading; so my grammar was poor. I really just missed out on the very fundamentals because I wasn’t in those classes.” Jones recalls not being able to answer a simple story problem because he didn’t know the order the months of the year came in. “It just made it even more of a challenge,” he said.
to make it,’” Jones said. “But what they couldn’t test is my ability to schedule my time, and also, in college, I was able to focus a lot more on numbers than words.” Jones applied to Bowling Green State University and got accepted on his GPA and class rank alone. He took the skills and discipline he learned from Ms. Schuster to Bowling Green. “That helped me know how to study and how to manage my time.”
Jones would later be given the award of Outstanding Graduating Senior in The College of Business at BGSU. He was also listed in The Wall Street Journal’s Top Business students in the nation. After earning his bachelor’s degree in Finance, he went on the get his MBA at The Ohio State University. In his presentation at Woodmore High School Feb. 14, Jones admitted to being bullied in school because he had to be in a special class due to his learning disability. He talked about how it made him feel to be different, and explained how physical activities like juggling and basketball helped to get his mind off of his struggles and allowed him to interact with other kids in an environment where he was not faced with a daunting disadvantage. He uses the talent show tricks he has perfected to entertain and engage the audience and to punctuate his story – a story about how it’s possible to overcome adversity; how it’s important to disregard the doubts that others proclaim freely, to never let what anyone says prevent you from following your dreams and goals.

Bowen’s squad captures Northern Buckeye trophy By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com This is starting to become a habit. Over the last three seasons, the Lake boys basketball team has gone 55-11 by playing an exciting brand of basketball while winning two Northern Buckeye Conference titles and just missing out on a third last season. This season has been a little more special than usual because Lake, which is 19-1 and 12-1 in the NBC heading into the weekend, flirted with perfection by starting 13-0 and garnering recognition by earning the No. 4 ranking in the Division II Associated Press poll. Defeating NBC foe Woodmore last Friday night would have meant a sole championship, although they could have had a little help had Eastwood defeated pre-season league favorite Rossford (14-5, 11-2) Wednesday. The Bulldogs held off the Eagles for a 50-48 victory and a Bulldog win over Elmwood Friday and Flyer loss to the Wildcats would have meant co-championships. The Flyers last regular season game was a make-up contest against Northwood Saturday. Point guard Connor Bowen, the NBC Player of the Year, leads the way, averaging 22.4 points and 8.4 assists, both tops in the conference. The 6-0 junior has gotten help this year from fellow junior Jared Rettig, a 6-2 shooting guard who is fifth in the league in scoring (16.9) and first in rebounding (9.8). “Due to our lack of size, I’ve dedicated myself to crashing the boards,” Rettig said. “I’ve just been in the right spot at the right time, I guess.” The team, which employs a four-guard lineup, has gotten solid contributions from 6-0 guard Brandyn Neal (9.4 pts., 5.4 reb.), a second-team selection, 5-11 guard Cody Witt (7.4 pts.) and 6-3 forward Todd Walters (6.8 pts, 5.4 reb.). Plus, Jake Rettig (6-0), Aaron Witt (5-9) and Adam Duncan (5-10) have provided production off the bench. When faced with challenges this season, Lake has answered the call. It’s been an exciting season for the Flyers, one that has seen them win in dramatic fashion on numerous occasions. Down one, Rettig hit a three-pointer with 3.2 seconds remaining in their 52-49 victory over Eastwood. Against Bryan, the Flyers rallied from 12-point second-half deficit to win, 67-64, and defeated Rossford in nail-biting fashion both times. The first victory, a 67-65 overtime win over the Bulldogs, was won on Jared Rettig’s go-ahead threepointer with 1:35 left in overtime, and the other win, a 75-69 victory on Feb. 11, essentially clinched the league title.
BOYS BASKETBALL Team (League) Overall
Lake sophomore Brandyn Neal goes to the hoop. (Photo courtesy of Innovations Portrait Studio/ Innovations Visual Impact.com) “I couldn’t be more pleased with the team’s success this year!” coach Ryan Bowen said. “We play one senior, three juniors, four sophomores and one freshman. So we came into the season very young. Connor and Jared have experience, but they were the only two that ever started varsity before this year. But this team has bought into everything we as coaches wanted out of them and the success quickly followed.” It wasn’t that long ago when things weren’t going so well for the program. From 2007-10, the Flyers went a combined 16-68 and won just one tournament game before Bowen took over. Since then, Lake has become one of the area’s top teams, going 67-20 (.770) while winning two league titles and a sectional crown. Bowen, a 1992 graduate of Lake, worked his way up through the program, coaching the junior high and freshman teams while also serving as a varsity assistant before getting his chance to run the show. The primary key to Lake’s success over the last four seasons is the talent that has come through in the form of his son, Connor Bowen, along with Jared Rettig,
Jayce Vancena, Marcus Pierce, Rashad Smith and Josh Tantari. But knowing how to harness that talent and employing the right kind of system has made a world of difference as well, plus, Coach Bowen believes there’s been a change in the culture. Coach Bowen’s up-tempo style allows for a more exciting brand of basketball, He stresses that it has enabled his players to play with freedom in a relaxed setting. He trusts that his players will make smart decisions and allows the talent to flourish while also playing within the framework of the system, one that has wide-ranging boundaries. “We wanted to implement a system that would be good for our athletes,” he said. “We run a read offense, without many play calls. We want to push the ball as much as possible (and) play fast, but take reasonable shots. A good point guard is a must for our style of offense, as they are making the reads, and the rest of the players are reading the ball. Our style is fun to play, and hopefully fun to watch for the fans. “We stress that as coaches must trust our players to play the game. Mistakes will happen, but we don’t stress about their

actions, we focus on their reactions. Bad plays will happen, we just work that much harder on the next play, and that mistake will be forgotten.” Connor Bowen, a three-year starter at point guard, has shown a knack for knowing when to attack and when to look for his teammates. “It’s the best thing,” he said. “I get the freedom with everything I want to do, and when I am playing well, it frees up all my teammates. “We have played really well as a team and are really close as a group so that helps us out tremendously,” Connor continued. “We are about where I thought we’d be. I’m really proud of my team and all the things we’ve accomplished so far. That style of play has allowed a slasher like Rettig, a first-team All-NBC selection, to create opportunities for himself and score in bunches. “It’s fun to play in a system like that,” Rettig said. “It helps with the small team we have so we try and be more athletic with our trapping and transition offense. Playing as one (unit) on the defensive end has helped tremendously.”
Students share their favorite Winter Olympic events By Maddy Hines and Amber Young Window To Woodmore The Winter Olympic Games have swung into action. People from all over the world train day after day to be successful in the Olympics. Many sports are well-known, such as ice hockey and snowboarding, while others like skeleton and Nordic combined may not be.
A Woodmore journalism survey asked 107 high school and middle school girls as well as 102 high school and middle school boys about their favorite events. The students were asked to circle their grade, whether they were male or female, so that there could be a comparison of what females watch versus what males watch, and their top three favorite events. Eighty-five out of 102 males picked ice hockey has their top sport to watch. Eighty-
three out of 102 boys also picked snowboarding as their second favorite sport to watch. Lastly, 48 out of 102 boys picked bobsledding as their third favorite sport to watch. Girls nationwide favor figure skating, and the girls at Woodmore, 7-12, proved this to be true as well. Out of 107 girls questioned, 84 of them picked figure skating as one of their top three favorites. Coming in second, was snowboarding, which nor-
mally might not be a girl’s first pick when handed the remote, but 65 out of 107 girls chose this event. As their third choice, girls also picked ice hockey with 42 out of 107. Woodmore students have common interests with many people all over America. According to topendsports.com, which conducted a poll on favorite Olympic sports as well, coming in first was figure skating and not far behind figure skating was ice hockey as national favorites.

A school-record 40 points by Florida State senior Natasha Howard (Waite) resulted in a convincing 8359 road win at Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. Howard registered her schoolrecord 40 points on 14-of-19 shooting from the floor, as well as 12-of-15 from the charity stripe. Her 40th point to break the former record of 39 by Roneeka Hodges vs. Maryland in 2005 came on a free throw with 56 seconds left. Howard’s 40 points are the most by an ACC player this season in conference games. She only trails Wake Forest guard Chelsea Douglas’ 48 points in non-conference play vs. FIU this past December. “Natasha was incredible,” FSU coach Sue Semrau said. “The individual honors are nice for her, but she would tell you first-hand that it’s an even greater win for our team. I’m really proud of the way our players played tonight. They did an excellent job against a very good Syracuse basketball team and Natasha led the way for us.” Howard helped the Seminoles (177, 5-6) shoot 54 percent from the field. It was FSU’s first 50-percent shooting performance in ACC play this season and its fourth time this year. FSU’s 83 points were also its highest in ACC play this year. FSU (17-8, 5-7) started to force the ball a bit in the beginning of the second half, but was able to convert its shots as Howard had six quick points to put the ‘Noles ahead 50-31 with 15:56 left in the game. FSU converted 12 of its first 13 free-throw attempts to aid its 19-point margin. FSU continued to pour it on, as Howard totaled her career high of 28 points at the 11:31 mark and Delgado had 11 assists to form a dynamic duo in the contest. Howard converted a fastbreak layup from the left side later to secure her 30th point and make her the first ‘Nole since Courtney Ward vs. Vanderbilt in 2010 to reach the 30-point mark. After falling behind early 9-2 thanks to a Syracuse 9-0 run, FSU began to show a crisp offense that focused on good ball movement. Jones drained her first trey of the game to tie the game at 9-9, and Howard continued to put in work down low as she notched 10 points in the early going to give FSU an 18-11 lead with 11:24 left in the first half. It was Howard’s 85th career double-figure game. The ‘Noles played one of their best first halves of the season, hitting the 40-point mark for the first time on the road as they led, 42-26. Howard led all scorers with 16 points and FSU shot a remarkable 6-of-8 from 3-point range.

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Many in the area know about the long standing tradition of the Oak Harbor wrestling program. A program with a storied history that dates back to the late 1970s, the Rockets have been on a tear in the last eight years, finishing second twice, third twice, fifth and seventh in Division II while winning the Sandusky Bay Conference five times. Individually, seven wrestlers have won state titles and seven more have finished in second place. Beyond that, the program has consistently sent its wrestlers to compete at the collegiate level. You’re probably familiar with Ohio State alum J.D. Bergman, a three-time All-American who won the U.S. Open last year and remains an Olympic hopeful, but there are other former Oak Harbor wrestlers still carrying on impressive collegiate careers. Currently, there are seven former Rockets wrestling collegiately, all at the NCAA Division I or D-II level, which provides scholarships — Drew Stone (Ohio State), Konnor Witt (Air Force), Jake Cramer (Tiffin), Ian Miller (Kent State), Alex Bergman (Navy), Jared Chambers (Tiffin) and Luke Cramer (Ashland). Miller and Witt sport records of 22-4 and 21-9, respectively, this season. “J.D. is the one to blame for that,” Oak Harbor coach George Bergman said. “He started it by wrestling at Ohio State and having a good career there. Wrestling in college is tough — some of the kids used to look at it like its the NFL. But you need someone to start (the trend) and J.D. got it going. “If you want to compete in college, you’ve got to go in with both feet; you’ve got to be committed. The training is difficult, too. It’s grueling, but it’s very rewarding and it’s about the relationships you build.” It’s certainly difficult making the adjustment, as Chambers and Luke Cramer, both freshmen, can attest. “The first couple meets were tough,” said Chambers, who notes that he is getting along well with his studies but was experiencing some difficulties in the beginning. “The stuff I did in high school and got away with most of the time doesn’t work against most guys in college. So I just worked more on my own or one-on-one with Coach (Joey) Simcoe and he’s helped me a lot and is still pointing out stuff that needs fixing. The work never ends.” Cramer said, “Wrestling is brutal in college. I’ve got some bumps and bruises, but nothing that’s going to keep me from wrestling. It’s been hard being thrown in the lineup as a freshman. Everybody is good — it’s a whole different thing. I’ve got to work on some things.” As Chambers stressed, it’s also dif-

J.D. is the one to blame for that. ficult balancing wrestling and academics. Alex Bergman, a freshman at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, has plenty of other demands. “School is definitely more challenging than it was in high school,” Alex Bergman said. “(The whole situation) is pretty demanding. There isn’t ever a time where I can really sit around and do nothing. I’m always busy whether it’s homework, wrestling or some military obligation.” Cramer, who is currently 13-10 with one pin, is finding that corresponding with his fellow students helps him get a better grasp of things. “In all my classes,” he said, “I’ve made friends with people and we’ll try to figure things out. That helps a lot.”
Cramer credits the Oak Harbor wrestling program for helping to prepare him for competition at the collegiate level in a number of ways, most specifically conditioning. “It made a difference,” he said. “I tried to be in the best shape possible. We were always well-conditioned at Oak Harbor. And the drill techniques we did were very helpful.” For Bergman, who is 5-4 on the season, going up against other great wrestlers was a great way for him to prepare. “It helped a lot anytime you have partners as good as Ian Miller, Konner Witt and Jake and Luke Cramer,” he said. “Then you’ll be prepared to wrestle in college. Coach Bergman has also found that his program benefits when his old wrestlers return and can relay teaching tips to their former teammates. “When the guys come back during Christmas break, we’ll have them show us what they’re working on,” he said. “The latest trends, techniques, stuff like that. It means a heck of a lot for our wrestlers hearing about (new techniques) from guys they looked up to. If it’s good enough for Ohio State and Kent State, it’s good enough for Oak Harbor.”
A Family Tradition
Naismith Trophy Howard has been added to the 2014 “Wade Watch” list, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association announced on behalf of the Wade Trophy Coalition. The 6-foot-3 Howard, daughter of a former University of Toledo basketball player, also has been named one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award, which fans can vote for online. In addition, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced that Howard advanced to the women’s midseason Top 30 list for the Naismith Trophy given to the best overall player in college basketball. The annual trophy is voted on by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s board of selectors, comprised of leading basketball journalists, coaches and administrators from around the country. The four finalists will be unveiled on March 21, and the winner will be announced on April 7 during the NCAA Women’s Final Four in Nashville, Tenn. Howard has dented the Florida State career record books with her best season so far as a senior. The Toledo native is third in career rebounds (948) and blocks (172), fourth in points (1,555), sixth in rebound average (8) and 11th in steals (182). She is on pace to average the highest amount of points per game at FSU since Roneeka Hodges averaged 19.2 points in the 2004-05 season.

Decker, three divers qualify for state meet By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Eastwood sophomore swimmer Alyssa Decker competed at the Division II state swim meet in the 200-yard medley and the 100-yard butterfly over the weekend at C.T. Branin Natatorium, Canton. Decker finished sixth in the 200 medly at the district meet with a time of 2:22.38, just over six seconds behind champion Karrigan Vargo (2:16.72), a junior from Sandusky. She was also sixth in the butterfly, finishing in 1:04.71, which is just over three seconds behind champion Josie Miller (1:01.3), a junior from Wapakoneta. Decker is joined by three local divers at the state meet — Waite freshman Anna Campos (seeding score of 405.05) and two from Oak Harbor — sophomore Cooper Hicks (378.65) and senior Bryce Buderer (366.15).

would have to reach the state meet without one of their top competitors. The state meet is Feb. 28 (team competition) and Mar. 1 (individual competition) at Hilliard Bradley High School. Clay gymnast Jody DeMeo won the individual all-around TRAC title. She earned that title by winning the floor exercise and tying for first place on the beam. She tied for third on bars and tied for sixth on vault, earning her TRAC Gymnast of the Year honors. She is the first Clay gymnast to win that award since Kylee Ault led the Eagles to the City League title in 2011. Clay finished second behind TRAC champion Findlay for the second straight year, by a final combined team score of 141.7 to 140.6. DeMeo’s teammate, Emilie Roman, was not able to finish the league meet due to an injury suffered during her dismount from the bars, which cost a one-half point deduction. As a result, she could not compete on the beam and floor exercise, which likely cost Clay the championship. Her mother, Patty Roman, says she was not able to compete at the district meet, either, but would be there to cheer the team on. She will likely need surgery for a torn ACL, Patty emailed The Press.

Have you ever noticed that young children will sometimes respond to scary things by first running and screaming, and then laughing? Often, their first impulse is to make a game out of being scared, and surprisingly, they seem to genuinely enjoy the experience. However, the older we get, the more likely we are to seemingly cower in some dark corner or to want to utterly destroy the big, bad monster. Perhaps there is some deeper wisdom in the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response. And perhaps, those monsters that we fear are really things with which we should make friends. How often do we fear things that

end up being good for us in one way or another? For example, many people fear certain social interactions, and yet when they actually take the plunge, they readily admit that there was nothing to fear and much to look forward to. And although we naturally fear the unknown, perhaps we ought to greet it with more enthusiasm, and less fear, the way children so often do. To the pure all things are pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are corrupted. R.S.V. Titus 1:15
