Fords coming from Southern Ohio

Should Oregon favor local bids? By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon council on Monday approved the purchase of four new vehicles for $89,252 from Lebanon Ford, of Lebanon, Ohio for the police division. The cost of the new 2016 Ford Utility police interceptor vehicles, originally priced at $110,152, was reduced because of a tradein credit of $20,900. Lebanon Ford provided the lowest quote for the new vehicles, and a higher trade-in credit, than Mathews Ford, Oregon. Mathews submitted a quote of $119,324, with a trade in-credit of $17,000, for a total cost of $102,324. Police Chief Mike Navarre said the transition from the sedan to the SUV Ford “provides a lot of advantages for our officers.” He said the Ford Utility police interceptor is widely used. “It’s the most popular police vehicle used right now in the U.S.,” he said. Navarre said Mathews Ford was aware of the state contract through the Cooperative Purchasing program, but bid much higher. “We got our hands on the state contract and looked at the bidding and had the vendor in Lebanon bid on our trade-ins. The state contract is a public record. Mathews

If we start playing around with the bidding process too much, we can hurt others from choosing to want to bid.

Just days after rejecting a petition for a proposed amendment to the state constitution to legalize marijuana, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine rejected a similar petition from another group. Last Monday, DeWine rejected the petition from the group, Responsible Ohio, entitled “Medical Marijuana and Personal Use Amendment” that would have added a section to the constitution to allow adults age 21 and older to grow marijuana at home. He found two defects in the summary language of the group’s petition: • The summary language omits that the proposed amendment permits the sharing of specified amounts of marijuana between adults 21 years old and older. • The summary language does not accurately reflect the manner in which proposed taxes would be distributed. “After reviewing the submission, I conclude that I am unable to certify the summary as a fair and truthful statement of the proposed amendment,” DeWine said in a letter to the petitioners. The petition included 2,879 signatures. On Wednesday, DeWine rejected the petition for the proposed “End Ohio Cannabis Prohibition Act,” saying the petitioners didn’t submit the required minimum number of signatures. His office received the petition Feb. 17 from the group, Responsible Ohioans for Cannabis, to also amend the constitution. Although the petitions included signatures from residents in 45 counties, boards of elections reported receiving a total of only 883 valid signatures. “Because your submission did not contain the verified signatures of at least one thousand qualified electors, we must reject it,” DeWine wrote in his rejection letter. “Due to your failure to meet the signature threshold, I have not made any determination concerning the fairness and truthfulness of your proposed summary.” For a constitutional amendment to

was provided access to it, but for whatever reason, their bid was $13,000 higher than the state contract. As much as we would like it to be local, I don’t think we can’t ignore $13,000,” said Navarre. Councilman Jerry Peach agreed, saying “$13,000 is a significant amount.” “I think you did the right thing,” said Councilman James Seaman. Local preference Councilman Joshua Hughes had suggested more weight should be given to local vendors. “I understand $13,000 is a lot of money. I don’t know why Mathews Ford wouldn’t choose the state minimum bid,”

said Hughes. He noted that council recently approved a contract with Asset Protection Corporation (APC) for $60,430 to provide labor, material and equipment to upgrade the security system of the municipal complex, water treatment and wastewater treatment plants and three fire stations, even though the city’s current vendor, Torrence Sound Equipment, had submitted a lower bid of $36,000. The city went with the higher bid of APC because it has provided the security system of the court and police division for years, and it would also eliminate a double card system. “If it’s simply about the money, we could accept Torrance’s bid at a savings… and still go with Mathews and come out on the plus side,” said Hughes. Councilwoman Kathleen Pollauf said Hughes “brought up a very good point.” “I understand there’s a process with bids,” said Pollauf. “Is there any way we could find a way to give a little more incentive to local businesses for bidding on things like this?” Mayor Mike Seferian said the city “makes every attempt to do just that.” The city hand delivered the bid packet to Mathews Ford, said Seferian. “Sometimes, for whatever reason, they Continued on page 2

Pot rejected Continued from front page make it to the ballot, a petition containing summary language of the amendment and 1,000 signatures from Ohio registered voters are submitted to the attorney general’s office. After the summary language and initial signatures are certified, the Ohio Ballot Board determines if the amendment is actually a single issue or multiple. Petitioners must then collect signatures for each issue from registered voters in at least 44 counties. The number of signatures must equal at least 5 percent of the total votes cast in the county in the last gubernatorial election. The total signatures collected statewide must also equal 10 percent of the total votes in the last gubernatorial election. Other advocates of legalizing marijuana have been critical of the Responsible Ohio original proposal to only allow cannabis to be grown at sites operated by financial backers of the campaign. The group later revised its plan to let adults 21 and older obtain licenses to grow at home but not sell to the public.

Local bids

Continued from front page just aren’t able to meet the competition coming to the state bid process. They were over the state bid process. Chief Navarre will tell you we spoke with them, gave every opportunity to see to it if they could work within the parameters of that state bid, and they just didn’t choose to. We try to work with local vendors as much as possible. And sometimes, for whatever reason, they just don’t seem to respond, and sometimes they do.” Vehicle recalls and warranty repairs would be serviced locally, said Seferian. Previously raised City Administrator Mike Beazley said the subject of giving preference to local vendors in the bidding process has “come up before.” “Just so the council members know, it’s one thing when we’re talking about professional services – when it’s not necessarily apples to apples. But when you’re buying

a vehicle, or a widget, we have fairly precise definitions of the lowest and best [bid]. Cities can choose to have local preference. It’s something the city has not chosen to do historically. We always try to do everything we can to encourage the local business to bid. It’s not an easy task.” Ohio law allows it if there is a difference of 5 percent or less in the bids, said Beazley, if the city adopted a policy to give preference to local vendors. In addition, what would be defined as a “local vendor,” he said. “How do you define it? Is it a business within so many miles? What if you live in Oregon, but your business is not? It’s up to the legislative authority. The mayor and administration likes to do business locally. We think our system here usually works. But there’s sometimes when we feel like it hasn’t. That’s the challenge.” A local preference policy would not have made a difference in awarding the bid in this instance, added Beazley, because the bids exceeded a 5 percent difference. Local preferences could also have an

adverse effect on the number of bids the city could receive, said Seferian. “If we start playing around with the bidding process too much, we can hurt others from choosing to want to bid,” said Seferian. “Some of us who have been here for a while remember times when we were getting just one bid on things. And that wasn’t a situation we chose to be in because when we get multiple bids, there are some substantial savings. So our process is good, and we will continue to attract or do things to make sure the local people are aware of our bids. We make them very aware of what the state bid is.” The police division spoke to Mathews and made them aware of the state contract, said Navarre. “They had all the information. For whatever reason, they chose not to come close to that number,” said Navarre. Pollauf said she was satisfied with the administration’s explanation. The ordinance to award the bid to Lebanon Ford was unanimously passed by council.

Pipeline firm responds to residents By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The company planning to construct a 22-mile natural gas pipeline between the cities of Maumee and Oregon has filed its opposition with the Ohio Power Siting Board to a request by a coalition of about 20 residents for another hearing on the project. The residents, calling themselves the Oregon Lateral Citizens Coalition, filed their request with the siting board last month to push for an alternate route for the 24-inch-diameter pipeline that will supply natural gas for an $800 million electric generation plant along Lallendorf Road in Oregon. While not opposing the generation plant, the residents want the siting board to hold a full hearing on the pipeline project as proposed by North Coast Gas Transmission, a Columbus- based company. From Maumee, the pipeline would run under the Maumee River and through the City of Perrysburg and Perrysburg Township. From there, it would proceed northeast through Lake Township, the Village of Walbridge and City of Northwood, ending in Oregon. The residents are asking the siting board to modify the company’s proposal to require the pipeline be located at least 60 feet from the rear of residential lot lines between Curtice and Seaman roads; change the route so it is near parcel boundaries where feasible to reduce the impact on field tiles and crops, and require a 500-foot minimum distance between the pipeline and the Evergreen Landfill. North Coast’s response argues the coalition’s request lacks merit and the company met its requirements for presenting its plans to the public as set in the Ohio Revised Code. “As interests similar to OLCC’s stated interests were investigated during the course of the proceedings and adequately addressed, the Board should find that OLCC did not satisfy the second prong of

the statutory test and that their interests were adequately considered in the proceedings,” the company response says. The company also argues the pipeline route along the landfill meets statutory requirements and the line will be reinforced at that section. “Furthermore, to address any concerns regarding public safety and the protection of the landfill, the pipeline will be externally coated with fusion bonded epoxy and will be cathodically protected to safeguard it from external corrosion,” the response says. “The welds on the pipeline will be

100 percent non-destructively tested and the pipeline will be hydrostatically pressure tested at a pressure of one and onehalf times the MAOP (maximum allowable operating pressure) of the pipeline, which equates to testing at nearly two and onehalf times the expected operating pressure of the pipeline.” Barring a delay, construction of the pipeline is scheduled to start this month. A June 2016 completion is expected. Construction has begun on the generation plant and it is expected to be completed by the summer of 2017.

Obama reaches out to Collins Family Sandra Drabik Collins, the widow of Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins, said she received a letter from President Barack Obama mourning the loss of Mayor Collins and also offering condolences and words of remembrance. Mayor Collins had made several trips to Washington, D.C. since he was elected in November 2013. On at least two trips he met with President Obama. The first meeting was in December 2013 at a conference with 15 U.S. mayors at The White House. His last trip to Washington was during the last week in January, just days before Mayor Collins’ cardiac arrest on Feb. 1 which claimed his life on Feb. 6. Mrs. Drabik Collins says at the first meeting her husband was surprised that the president knew about his upset win in November. “President Obama knew that Mike was

the underdog and came from behind to win that election. It really caught Mike offguard that the president knew of his race and victory,” she said. In the letter dated February 6, President Obama wrote that he was saddened to learn of the passing of Mayor Collins and he offered his heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Drabik Collins. In a reference aimed in part at Mayor Collins’ military service as a U.S. Marine, the President wrote: “The security that lets us live in peace, the prosperity that allows us to pursue our dreams, the freedom that we cherish — these were earned by the service and sacrifice of our Nation’s veterans. We are forever indebted to these heroes, and I hope you find solace in knowing that his legacy lives on not only in the family and friends he left behind, but also in the country he helped defend.”

Due to a credit card error, 352 customers who purchased trees at the Whitehouse Christmas Tree Farm accidentally received a refund on their credit card account. The error cost the tree farm $9,300. “We have tried various methods to reach our customers – newspapers, Facebook, mailings, radio and TV. To date, we have received 94 refunds for a total of $3558.20 which is 27 percent.” Wheeler is urging Christmas tree customers to check their credit card statements. Those who find a partial refund from Wheeler Farms on Dec. 30, 2014 are asked to send a check to 3949 Sunforest Ct., Suite 101, Toledo, OH 43623. Please note the type of credit card used and the last four digits. Those who would like to pay by credit card may call 419-474-3399.

Disaster Volunteer Coalition meeting Over the past year, the EMA Directors in Erie, Huron, and Ottawa counties have been undertaking an initiative to sustain the resources provided by disaster volunteer agencies. The participating agencies, which include American Red Cross, Medical Reserve Corps, Amateur Radio, Salvation Army, and Community Emergency Response Team, are working together to cross-train volunteers, share resources, and streamline the process for activating volunteers in response to local incidents. The

top need identified by each agency is more volunteers. In response to that need, the Disaster Volunteer Coalition is sponsoring a series of recruiting events. These open house events are designed to provide community members with information on the many opportunities to volunteer with local disaster response organizations. An open house will be held Thursday, March 5 from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Harris Elmore Fire Department, 321 Rice St., Elmore.

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District Two recently forged an agreement with the City of Toledo to ensure northwest Ohio has enough salt supply to last the remainder of the winter. “There is plenty of salt; the challenge is moving it around,” said ODOT District Two Deputy Director Todd Audet. As of Feb. 24, ODOT District Two, which includes the counties of Fulton, Lucas, Henry, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca, Williams and Wood, had more than 11,000 tons of salt on hand. Similar to last year, orders from salt companies are not being delivered as expected. Several other local public agencies throughout Northwest Ohio receive salt from ODOT as part of a salt agreement signed earlier in the year. Many agencies are reporting low volumes of salt remaining. “Rather than taking a risk and waiting for transportation resources to become available, we worked out an agreement with the City of Toledo.,” Audet said. Through the agreement, ODOT will borrow 20,000 tons of salt to distribute among its facilities and to communities with ODOT salt agreements. ODOT will replace all of the salt it borrows from the city. “We sincerely appreciate the City of Toledo’s support in sharing resources to help ODOT and the surrounding communities of Northwest Ohio during winter operations. The trade will help to secure our regions’ safety and saves time and money,” Audet said.

EPA looking to improve recycling data By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A statewide initiative to encourage the commercial and industrial sectors to provide more data about their recycling efforts is being promoted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in a partnership with the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Council of Retail Merchants and Ohio Manufacturers’ Association. Dina Pierce, an OEPA spokesperson, said the agency recently established a collaborative website that includes contact information for each solid waste management district in the state and access to a survey the districts conduct annually to determine the amounts and types of materials being recycled by businesses. That data is reported to the EPA, which crunches the numbers to get a picture of how much material is being diverted from landfills and if the state’s 52 waste management districts are meeting Ohio’s recycling goals. “The partnership is new,” Pierce said. “We’re working with the chamber and other associations to try to encourage participation in the survey. One thing we’ve identified in recent years is a need for more glass recycling. Our manufacturers in Ohio need the glass. Owens Illinois is one example. They make bottles so they need recycled glass and they’ve been shipping it in from out of state. “Johns Manville makes fiberglass insulation and takes recycled glass. That is an example of not just reporting recycling information. Do people need more access to drop-off points or ways to get material recycled? So we have some initiatives to help the manufacturers and save landfill space in the process.” Rob Brundett, of the OMA, said: “Industry is an enormous consumer of recycled materials, such as metals, glass, paper and plastics; thus, manufacturers are strong advocates for recycling systems in Ohio. Measuring and reporting recycling efforts is valuable for all Ohio’s audiences.” Results of the 2013 survey of the industrial sector in the Ottawa Sandusky Seneca Solid Waste Management District indicate there was a recycling participation rate of about 69 percent. Ferrous metals, those that contain iron, accounted for the most recycled material followed by cardboard and plastic. In a letter to businesses urging them to take the survey, Tim Wasserman, director of the OSS district, said his office may be able to assist them by conducting waste assessments, identifying grants and financial resources and developing recycling programs for employees. The districts are asking the surveys be completed by April 15. Pierce said print copies can also be mailed to business by their solid waste districts.

Obituary Mildred G. Dougherty M i l d r e d G. Dougherty, 85, of Woodville, Ohio and formerly of Seville, Ohio passed away after a short illness.

Bill calls for EPA plan to protect drinking water By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Drinking Water Protection Act, which would protect drinking water from harmful cyanotoxins, passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 375-37 on Tuesday. Toledo last August issued a three-day tap water ban after microcystin, a cyanotoxin, was found in samples taken from the Collins Water Treatment Plant, which draws water from the western basin of Lake Erie. The bipartisan legislation, sponsored by Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH), would push federal agencies to provide clear protocols and oversight in the event of a large-scale algal bloom and would require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide a strategic plan to Congress for assessing and managing the risks associated with algal toxins in drinking water provided by public water systems. During the water crisis, “concerns and questions were, and have since been, raised about health effects data, testing protocols, treatment processes, and appropriate short and long term responses,” Latta said in a speech on the floor of the House Tuesday. “During hearings before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, witnesses testified on the further complexity of this issue due to the numerous algal toxins… that may have potential negative health effects when present in public drinking water,” he said. While he commended the work of the U.S. EPA and other agencies to ensure safe drinking water, the water emergency “demonstrated the need for a more strategic, comprehensive, and strong scientific

approach to protect our citizens’ public drinking water.” “I believe (this bill) does just that,” he said. Specifically, the EPA’s strategic plan, according to the bill, would: • include steps and timelines that evaluate the risks to human health from drinking water provided by public water systems contaminated with algal toxins; • establish, publish and update a list of algal toxins, which the administrator determines may have an adverse effect on human health when present in public drinking water; • provide a summary of those known adverse effects; publish health advisories and testing methods if the EPA determines it is warranted based on the published list; • recommend feasible treatment options; • enter into cooperative agreements and provide technical assistance to affected states and public water systems to manage risk associated with algal toxins; • and identify gaps in the EPA’s understanding of algal toxins. Sen. Rob Portman, (R-OH) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (DOH), an original co-sponsor of the legislation, said she hopes the bill will expedite the EPA’s work on long overdue guidelines. “When the water crisis hit Toledo last year, shortcomings in our federal response to this kind of dangerous environmental event were laid bare,” Kaptur said in a prepared statement. “While it has been long in coming, Congress has finally taken a critical step to arm communities against the threat of toxic algae, which I hope expedites the U.S. EPA’s work on long-overdue guidelines. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to approve this overdue legislation

without further delay. Kaptur was recently elected to serve as a new co-chair of the House Great Lakes Task Force. Phosphorus, the same nutrient that makes vegetables grow, feeds the algal blooms, which have been getting bigger and more frequent over the years. Most of it comes from fertilizer (commercial and manure) runoff from farm fields. Other primary sources of phosphorous include untreated discharge from sewer treatment plants, industrial waste, broken septic systems, combined sewer overflows, and residual sediment already in the lake. Lake Erie generates $7 billion annually in economic activity from fishing, recreation, and tourism.

Northwood to update Comprehensive Plan By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Northwood Mayor Mark Stoner said it’s time for the city to update its Comprehensive Plan. Also referred to as the Master Plan, it was first adopted in June 1992, and updated in 2004, and went into effect in 2005. “I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already,” said Stoner. Much has happened since then, he noted, including a severe economic recession and the closing and razing of the Woodville Mall “We want to look at future land use. The public’s idea changes as to what land they would like to be developed, and where buildings should go and not go,” said Stoner. The purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to: • Identify locations for future growth

by type of land use; • Propose a means to preserve existing positive elements of the community; • Provide a basis for decisions on utility extensions and expansions; • Identify transportation-related issues which will need to be addressed; • Preserve environmentally-sensitive areas of the city and/or protect them from destruction; • Identify conflicts between existing land use and propose potential resolutions; • Provide a basis for property planned growth and development of the community. Stoner also wants to revamp regulations in the central business district along Woodville Road to attract more commercial development. The regulations, he said, are too restrictive. “At the time they went into effect, we wanted businesses to look better, use certain materials and colors for the buildings,

and their signs could only be a certain size. It was a great idea at the time. The economy was booming, a lot of businesses were coming into Northwood. But that’s not happening now,” he said. “I want to do that fairly quickly. The downtown business district concept had envisioned a “pedestrian friendly atmosphere” where people could walk to stores, which had apartments above, recalled Stoner. “But the materials we wanted businesses to use were too costly. Everyone put a lot of time into that. But it just didn’t take off like we had envisioned. My idea is to put back the business district to the way it was, which is commercial,” he said. “We’re not going to get rid of all of the improvements we made. We still want to see the smaller signs. We don’t want these great big signs all over the place. We’re going to try and make improvements, but make it easier for businesses to work with us so we can get more businesses in.”

Commissioners recognize veteran Virgil Roecker People On Feb. 12, the Ottawa County Commissioners recognized veteran Virgil Roecker, a member of American Legion Post 324, Genoa. Roecker served on active duty in the U.S. Army from March 1951 to March 1953. He completed basic training at Fort Meyer in Arlington, Virginia. After training, his duty station was Fort McNair, Washington, D.C., where he guarded incoming dignitaries at the airport and his company led the Inaugural Parade for President Eisenhower. Roecker is a proud member of the “The Old Guard,” which is the President’s Honor Guard in Washington, D.C. He was discharged as a Corporal. Roecker opened the commissioners’ regularly scheduled meeting by leading with the Pledge of Allegiance. He was honored for his dedication and sacrifices through his service to our country with a proclamation from Commission President Jo Ellen Regal. “It was an honor for me to present the

proclamation to Virgil and to recognize his bravery, sacrifices he made, and to thank him for his service to our country,” she said. The County Commissioners recognize a veteran within the community the first or second Tuesday meeting of every month.

Grateful for concerts A daughter of Harley Jacobs, the former mayor of the Village of Luckey, and his wife, Donna, who were involved in a fatal car crash Feb. 5, took time to thank Ron Hanely, the Lake Township parks and buildings director, for the township’s bluegrass concert series.

The Jacobs were passengers in a van driven by their son-in-law, Ken Johnston along with their daughter, Diane Johnston, when another vehicle collided with theirs in Bowling Green. The other driver has been citied. The Johnstons were pronounced dead at the scene and the Jacobs died later of their injuries. The Jacobs’ other daughter, Sue Glass, sent an email to Hanely on Feb. 10, thanking him and the township for the concerts. “I’d like to let you know that the township last bluegrass concert on my parents’ anniversary meant more than you know,” Glass writes in an email to Hanely. “The last picture of them was taken with the band that evening at the concert. Both parents were looking forward to the next concert and spoke of it many times. We also attended the summer concerts regularly. Please pass on our gratitude for bringing in such pleasure to many as a community service.”

The most important source of light comes from within Light is vital for life. A lack of light is deleterious. There is even a recognized malady associated with diminished sunlight. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects people during the winter months when the amount of sunlight is substantially reduced. The sun is an external source of light essential to life which varies seasonally as well as based on the weather. However, there is a much more critical light source which is always available to you. The light within you is a constant fountain of unlimited positive energy. The journey of life includes challenges, problems, obstacles, and adversity. At times, your days will become cloudy or dark. It may appear as if the sun no longer shines on you. Through these tough times the light within you still shines brightly. Whether you see and utilize this power is up to you. There are many people who deny its existence. They refuse to acknowledge its ability to successfully get you through the inevitable tough patches. This is the difference between those who always find a way to successfully move forward

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden and those who constantly make excuses for failure. The symptoms of darkness are well documented. Hopelessness, despair, moodiness, frustration, chronic stress, no goals, a lack of answers or solutions, are all characteristic indicators. People in darkness dwell in the past. They make one excuse after another justifying why they can’t or won’t move forward. They constantly blame other people or circumstances for their woes. Everyone has a light within them yearning to shine through any darkness. You have the power to tap into this energy in order to take control of your life. All that’s required is a belief in it, along with recognizing your ability to make forward progress in spite of any obstacles. Focusing on what you want is light.

Obsessing about those things you don’t want is darkness. Willpower is light. Giving up is darkness. Getting up when you stumble or fall is light. Staying down is darkness. Telling yourself all the things you can do is light. Negative self-talk is darkness. Following your own path is light. Listening to naysayers is darkness. You constantly choose between light and darkness. You are responsible for the direction of your life. When you encounter adverse situations, bad experiences, or when you make mistakes, it’s up to you what happens next. Here are some of the ways to harness the power of the light within you. Believe in yourself. Recognize the fact that you deserve to be happy. Don’t allow the past to become an anchor which drowns you. Instead, learn from the past. Repeat those behaviors which have led to success. Avoid those strategies which didn’t work. Don’t lament what has already occurred. The past is over. Plan your next steps forward. Determine where you want to go. The light within you is the source of strength you

need. Nothing and no one can take it away. Take action today to prepare for your future. If you don’t like where you are headed, change direction. Age doesn’t matter because you will never be as young as you are today. You are the driver, not a passenger. Making good decisions is how you recover from bad ones. Don’t complain. Identify a problem once and then spend all of your energy discovering a solution. Never, ever give up. Persistence causes your light to burn bright. Turn setbacks into comebacks. Each mistake is a stepping stone to further growth. The light within you shines constantly. Turn to it in good times and bad. Look at it for inspiration. It is always there to displace any darkness. It is with you wherever you are. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden. com or your bookstore.

Bill bipartisan plan to address Chinese currency manipulation Guest We know that our Editorial

“

There isn’t much Democrats and Republicans can agree on these days, but one idea is uniting senators on both sides of the aisle. This month I joined my colleagues of both political parties to announce the introduction of the Currency Undervaluation Investigation Act, to stand up to Chinese currency manipulation. This bipartisan plan could create five million jobs, increase our GDP by as much as $720 billion, and provide a shot in the arm to American manufacturing — all at no cost to taxpayers. China’s currency manipulation has been a problem for years, resulting in artificially expensive American imports to China and artificially cheap Chinese exports to the U.S. This puts our American

allegations made by U.S. companies. The Department of Commerce already has the authority to investigate currency manipulation — but it has declined to do so. Instead of addressing our growing trade deficit, we are pursuing trade deals with countries who manipulate their cur-

rencies. If we are going to continue to pursue an aggressive trade promotion agenda, we must combine it with equally strong trade enforcement. That means fighting back against currency manipulation. Foreign companies who skirt the rules are actively undermining the effectiveness of trade laws designed to protect workers and ensure American businesses can compete. This bipartisan plan would mean more products stamped with “Made in the USA,” and fewer stamped “Made in China.” We know that our American workers are the best in the world, and that with a level playing field they will out-compete anyone.

Doris and Glenn Levy can now cut-a-rug at the new Oregon senior center. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) While the realization came quickly, the solution did not. There were surveys, changes in city leadership, The Big Recession, a contentious ballot issue and differences of opinions about services and a new location. Through it all, Doris Levy persisted. She pushed. She antagonized. She wrote letters to the editor. Finally, last year, momentum turned her way. Bihn and Levy, along with several other women, formed the Citizens for an Oregon Senior Center. Their goal was to keep the issue in front of council. Meanwhile, city administrator Mike Beazley and recreation committee chairman Dennis Walendzak formed the Senior Services Advisory Group to analyze options. Then, in November 2013, the senior services funding issue passed. Levy was getting closer to her dance floor. But, there were still pesky political implications. Pick the wrong location and you upset some in the age group with his-

“

I gave up my life for your military career and raised the kids, so let’s take dance lessons.

“

Doris Levy is looking forward to that last dance on the first day the new Oregon senior center opens this spring. Her partner will be her husband, Glenn and, like the dancer in the 1960 Drifters song, she’ll hit the floor a few more times than he will. Doris is 83, Glenn is 90. He has an artificial knee and a bad hip. But, both will savor that last dance, not only because of their love for each other, but because Doris will have seen a dream deferred come true. Doris and Glenn have been married 64 years, but the dancing didn’t start until 1966, after Glenn retired from the Navy. Until then, Doris followed Glenn wherever he was stationed: Boston, Milwaukee, Rhode Island. But, when they returned home to Oregon she told him, “I gave up my life for your military career and raised the kids, so let’s take dance lessons.” They took them at Starr school and then hit the senior center dance circuit: Eleanor Kahle in West Toledo, Chet Zablocki in North Toledo; Margaret Hunt in South Toledo, the East Toledo Senior Center and the Maumee Senior Center. They learned square dancing, line dancing and the polka. It was for the fun, the exercise, and something the young take for granted, something that is missing in the lives of many seniors—socialization. Glenn and Doris danced four nights a week back then, but in 2003 Glenn slipped on black ice. That led to the knee replacement and Doris’s quest for a dance floor closer to home. That place was the James Hancock Senior Center in the northeast corner of Oregon. It took one visit to realize Oregon’s senior center was not as large, nor as well attended as the others. She aimed to change that. She frequently lobbied council for a larger center. One of her early allies was Sandy Bihn, former Oregon councilman. The two of them toured other centers. Bihn said the disparity was evident. “It didn’t take rocket science to become extremely aware that our center was just a one-room school house that was way too small for the functions that seniors wanted, or needed.”

torically the highest percentage of voter turnout. Fund some services and you may harm a private business, or an organization like the Eastern YMCA. City administrator Mike Beazley said gauging what the public wanted took time

and Doris Levy and the citizens committee helped council focus on the issue. “She was one of a number of citizens who brought the issue to our attention. The mayor, administration and council were all responding to what they saw as community needs. One of the ways you become aware of community needs is people talk about them. “It was hard to get a consensus about the location. In too many ways we were letting the perfect get in the way of the good. Wait for something perfect and you’ll wait a long time.” So, Oregon seniors waited. Bihn says that without Doris Levy pushing the issue, they may still be waiting. “She was the heart and soul of making it happen. She was the inspiration to all of us.” While city leaders debated the location and what services to offer, a significant aspect of senior life was pushed to the back of their minds. It was this aspect that Doris Levy wanted to keep in front of them—socialization. The current director of the senior center, Paula Benton, knows the importance of socialization and she believes the new larger center will have the room to offer more options. “For cognitive thinking there’s nothing better than bingo or jigsaw puzzles and things of that nature,” she said. “When we move, we can do so much more socialization and recreation. Those are the suggestions I get from everybody.” Sandy Bihn agrees. She says offering hobbies such as quilting and woodworking will improve the quality of life for seniors looking for companionship at a time when they are losing friends and relatives. Some seniors tend to isolate themselves in their home, either by choice or infirmity. While it is good to provide services to help seniors stay in their homes, we should also provide opportunities for them to connect with the outside world, Bihn said. Doris Levy’s quest for a larger senior center took 11 years. The dance floor opens in April. God willing, she can’t wait for Glenn to whisper in her ear: Don’t forget who’s taking you home And in whose arms you’re gonna be So darlin’, save the last dance for me.

Lone Raven brings Celtic, world music to Pemberville stage Just in time to help get residents in the spirit for St. Patrick’s Day, Lone Raven will bring their eclectic brand of traditional Celtic and world music to the Pemberville Opera House Saturday, March 7. Showtime for the performance, which is part of the ongoing Live! In the House concert series, is 7:30 p.m. With more than 20 instruments on stage, including a variety of unique ethnic instruments, the Ohio-based music ensemble soars through everything from heartfelt Irish ballads to exhilarating Gypsy fiddle tunes, musically transporting listeners through breathtaking European landscapes. In addition to sharing the music of their ancestors, they delight audiences with a collection of award-winning, original compositions. Instrumentals are fueled by the twin fiddles of Elizabeth Blickenstaff and Kara Markley, driven by an explosive rhythm section consisting of Craig Markley and the award-winning guitar playing of Neil Jacobs. In addition, Markley’s highly acclaimed vocal stylings are showcased throughout each concert, as she performs songs in both English and Irish Gaelic. The band tours nationally throughout the year, playing at festivals, theatres and concert halls, garnering consistent rave reviews. Their newest CD release, “Flight From The Hinterlands” is available now. For more information, visit www.loneraven.com. Tickets are $10 each and are available at Beeker’s General Store, 226 E. Front St., Pemberville; at the door, or by contacting Carol at 419-287-4848 or carol@pembervilleoperahouse.org. Visit www.pembervilleoperahouse.org for more information.

Metroparks roots To help put Americans back to work during The Great Depression, the federal government established New Deal programs such as the Civilian Conservation Corps to employ large contingents of men to plant trees, build recreational structures, dig lakes and ponds, and more. From 1937 to 1942, the CCC employed 2.5 million men for national, state and local park projects. A similar program, the Works Progress Administration, operated until 1943. Locally, these workers built everything from the entrance gates and stone bridges at Pearson Metropark to the Adirondack-style shelters overlooking the Maumee River at Farnsworth. Their work can also be seen at Side Cut, Bend View and Oak Openings. Metroparks Toledo would like to document this period in American history that was so important to the park system as we know it.

Choraliers seeking ‘alums’ The Choraliers of Oregon, are seeking former singers who would like to participate in a segment of the 60th anniversary show, which will be held April 30-May 2. For more information, call Vicky Cubberly at 419-693-7542 or Cheryl Berger Garlow at 419-873-9814.

The Celtic band, Lone Raven, will be in Pemberville March 7. Members are (left to right) Neil Jacobs (string guitar, bouzouki, prim, tambura, mandolin), Elizabeth Blickenstaff (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), Sid Omasta (bass, mandolin, fiddle, bouzouki, guitar), Kara Markley (vocals, fiddle, whistle, keyboards) and Craig Markley (keyboards, accordian, whistle, guitar, woodwinds, bodhran, percussion, vocals). Department is searching for men who worked in the CCC or WPA, or members of their families who may have pictures or stories to share. The project will document the many contributions these workers made to the Metroparks. According to minutes of the September 1934 Board of Park Commissioners meeting, Metroparks requested aid under the Federal Emergency Recovery Act (forerunner of the WPA) to develop the parks. One year later, Board minutes stated that more than 700 men were about to begin working in six Metroparks. Four years later, minutes of an August 1938 board meeting state, “More than 1,400 men are currently employed in various WPA projects in the Metroparks.” Those who know someone who had a connection with the CCC or WPA are encouraged to contact Shannon DeYoung at 419-407-9793 or shannon.deyoung@metroparkstoledo.com.

Lake’s ‘unsung heroes’ help close deal on championship By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Lake boys basketball coach Ryan Bowen calls them the “unsung guys on my team.” In other words, the players not named Connor Bowen and Jared Rettig, who’ve had their share of headlines over the past couple of seasons. Connor Bowen and Rettig may do the bulk of the scoring, rebounding and assist making, but they and their coach know the Flyers wouldn’t be 18-3 at this point in the season without guys like starter Todd Walters and backups Adam Duncan, Drayton Williams, Nathan Permar and Andrew Abbey fulfilling their roles. “The best thing about these guys is if you want a successful team, kids have to figure our their roles – Todd Walters especially,” coach Bowen said. “Connor and Jared get all the write-ups and Todd does all the dirty work. That’s what makes things nice, when kids figure out their roles fast, and they have.” Lake took a 12-1 Northern Buckeye Conference record into Friday night’s game at Woodmore. If the Flyers win and Rossford loses at Elmwood, Lake will claim the outright NBC title. The Flyers downed Woodmore 79-57 on Jan. 23. Lake almost blew its chances of winning the NBC on Wednesday night at Elmwood, trailing 19-18 at halftime after going 1-for-14 from 3-point range. “We played Oak Harbor on Tuesday (69-39 win) and the kids didn’t have school (Wednesday), so we knew they’d be complacent,” coach Bowen said. “We told them, ‘just be us. Get in attacking lanes.’ I walked out of the locker room at halftime and told my seniors, Connor, Jared and Todd, it was on them.” The Flyers exploded for 36 third-quarter points and shot 9-for-17 from behind the arc in the second half, while their defense forced 20 turnovers. “I asked the seniors, ‘what did you say to the kids?’ They said, ‘Coach, you told us to keep it between us, so we will,’ ” coach Bowen said. “They all lead by example but they’re three very quiet kids. Those three have had an unbelievable amount of success in basketball. They’re the first ones

there, the last ones to leave. They dive for balls, they’re the first ones in the weight room. The role players feed into that and they work just as hard.” Connor Bowen is averaging 21 points and 7.5 assists a game, while Jared Rettig averages 16.9 points and eight rebounds a game. Walters, a 6-foot-3 post, pulls down more than five rebounds a game and averages just over three points. The other starters are junior Brandyn Neal (11.5 ppg.) and sophomore Jake Rettig, who also averages double figures. Lake’s first two players off the bench are Duncan, a 5-10 junior, and Williams, a 6-1 junior. “Adam is 100 percent hustle,” coach Bowen said. “We don’t ask much out of him offensively, but he causes chaos on the court defensively. He’s a fast athlete and we tell him to fly around and cause havoc all over the court. He and Williams either go in for Todd or Jake. “Drayton is a big kid, athletic. He and Todd have the same role. Drayton is a great rebounder, plays great defense and is a high-energy guy. He’s going to dive for loose balls and get some rebounds. He started a couple games and Adam and Nathan started a couple games when Jake Rettig was out basically the whole month of January.” Permar a 6-3 junior, plays the role of shooter when he enters a game, according to coach Bowen. “If we play a team where we knew we could get some shots against, that’s when he would start,” Bowen said. “He’s a kid who can stretch the floor a little bit and shoot it well.” Abbey, a 5-10 senior, doesn’t see a lot of playing time but is a team captain along with the other seniors. “Andrew is our school valedictorian and we made him a captain for practice purposes,” coach Bowen said. “He practices with our second team. Our varsity goes against the jayvee every day in practice. He’s a captain with that and he does a great job. He does not let them not play hard. If they don’t, he’ll get on them in a hurry and they respond to that.” The Flyers, a No. 5 seed, received a bye and face either Rogers or Bryan at Anthony Wayne in the Division II sectional tournament on March 6.

Bowen, ‘Wojo’ join local diamond contingent at Owens By J. Patrick Eaken and Nicholas Huenefeld sports@presspublications.com All of a sudden, it seems like the Owens Community College baseball program is filling its roster with players from the Eastern Maumee Bay community. One Lake signee and a second Genoa signee will join a third Comet, plus there are three from Eastwood and one from Cardinal Stritch already playing at Owens. Connor Bowen (Lake) signed his intentions to play baseball for the Express at Strike Zone Sports Training Center. Bowen was an All-Press shortstop at Lake his junior year, batting .404 (42 for 104) with 32 runs, seven doubles, one triple, one home run, seven walks, 25 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. He led his team to the regional semifinals. “To me, this is the number that is truly outstanding — he only struck out one time in 122 plate appearances. He’s a tough out,”

rent teammate, Nick Wolfe, and his former Genoa teammate, Casey Gose, with the team next year. Wolfe recently signed with Owens, while Gose is a freshman on the baseball team at Owens this season. “Jacob has a bulldog mentality,” said Parisho. “He plays the game hard, and I’m looking forward to seeing him in multiple roles with us. He is a great addition to our program.” Wojciechowski can play in the outfield and pitch, and he earned second team AllNBC honors at Genoa. “Jake is a high energy, high effort player,” Genoa coach Ron Rightnowar said. “He will work extremely hard to be as good as he can be. This year’s Owens team will also include Jacob Schmeltz (Eastwood), Grant Peters (Eastwood) and Zach Coffield (Eastwood). Also playing for Owens this spring is freshman senior right-handed pitcher Robbie Bekier (Stritch). (Nicholas Huenefeld is the Owens sports information director.)

said Lake baseball coach Greg Wilker, who calls Bowen a “triple threat” at fielding, batting and base-running. Last year, Bowen hit .478 in league play and was the Northern Buckeye Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Away from the field, Bowen is also the point guard on Lake’s basketball team. He recently became the school’s all-time leading scorer, and he also holds the career records for assists and steals. His 377 steals is second all-time in the state of Ohio behind Jacob Diebler (578, 2001-05). He plays for his father, Coach Ryan Bowen, and basketball was on the table as far as college goes. “He wasn’t sure if he wanted to go basketball or baseball, but I think he realized eventually down the road he’s going to play at a higher level at baseball,” Wilker said. “I really think once he concentrates on just baseball alone, there’s no doubt in my mind he’s a Division I player.

Biggert recalls Toledo wrestling days, ‘Foxcatcher’ ties By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

“

He didn’t impress me, put it that way, even though he whipped my butt.

“

Former Oak Harbor and University of Toledo wrestler Chuck Biggert hasn’t seen the Oscar-nominated movie, Foxcatcher, and doesn’t intend to in the near future. “It’s not the type of movie I would want to see with my wife, I guess,” Biggert said. “We’re into comedy and fun stuff.” Biggert, who is now 58 and splits time between homes in Genoa and South Carolina, didn’t realize that the movie includes former Oak Harbor and Ohio State wrestler J.D. Bergman, who is credited as “Wrestler #3” in the movie. Still, Biggert said, “I’m not even interested in seeing it. I can’t see how it would be entertaining. He (John du Pont) ended up shooting himself and (Dave) Schultz. I don’t know why that would be a movie.” The movie tells the story of brothers Dave and Mark Schultz, Olympic gold medal champions who trained for du Point’s private Foxcatcher wrestling team at an amateur sports center known as Foxcatcher Farm that du Pont set up on his estate in Pennsylvania. Du Pont ended up shooting and killing Dave Schultz on Jan. 26, 1996. Biggert is the second former Oak Harbor wrestler with ties to the movie — former Rocket and Ohio State standout J.D. Bergman had a role in the movie. Biggert, who graduated from Oak Harbor in 1974 following a standout wrestling career, competed against Mark Schultz in college. Biggert was a three-time state tournament qualifier at Oak Harbor, going 29-1 and placing third at 145 pounds his senior year. He wrestled at Ohio University as a freshman before transferring to the University of Toledo. “I didn’t do too bad (at Ohio U),” Biggert

Chuck Biggert said. “I transferred to UT and took second, second and first in the MAC tournament. I transferred just to be close to home. All my brothers were in sports. My brother (Doug) won a state championship in the pole vault, and my other brother (John) took second in the state in wrestling. It was the first time I had left home, and I just missed home and ended up coming back to Toledo.” Biggert, who is 5-foot-10, qualified to the NCAA tournament with the Rockets at 150 pounds in 1978 and ‘79, losing in the quarterfinals in 1979. “I was seventh at the tournament and I met my goal,” Biggert said. “I wanted to be an All-American. I should have put my

goal higher, but that was fine.” Mark Schultz, meanwhile, was already a promising wrestler at that time. He transferred to the University of Oklahoma from UCLA after his freshman year and won NCAA titles for the Sooners from 1981-83. Mark and Dave Schultz both won gold medals in freestyle at the 1984 Olympics, and Mark won two World titles. He is a member of three halls of fame. Biggert’s memory of the exact year he and Schultz met on the mat in the NCAA tournament is kind of fuzzy. He said it was at the University of Iowa, and the two were only separated by one point heading into the third period.

“It was the first time I had wrestled in the NCAAs,” Biggert said. “In the last period he got a Japanese lizard on me, which is like a double arm bar, and ended up scoring 10 points with that move. He did two of those on me and ended up winning the match. We were neck and neck the first and second period. I think it ended up 17-8. He was a junior and I was a sophomore. I think he took third in the NCAA tournament that year. “He didn’t impress me, put it that way, even though he whipped my butt. We went toe-to-toe until that move. I never got the chance to wrestle Schultz again. He went up a weight class and I didn’t cut weight much. I wrestled at 145 or 150.” Biggert graduated with bachelor’s and masters degrees from UT and has been retired for three years after working as a superintendent for county programs in southern Ohio. He and his wife, Robin, have a son and a daughter, as well as a grandson and granddaughter. “I come to South Carolina in the winter to see my son and granddaughter,” Biggert said. He was an assistant wrestling coach at UT and then coached for a year at Clay before calling it quits. “Then I kind of moved on and had other interests,” Biggert said, adding that he was disappointed when he learned that UT discontinued its wrestling program in 1994. “Bowling Green left, and then after that it was only a few more years before UT did,” he said. “I talked with Harvey Bowles, the coach at the time. I think he just ended up telling (UT officials) to shove it. You can’t say that to those type of people, because they go after you. It was tied into Title IX. I was disappointed. We had some fantastic wrestlers in the area and none of them go to UT or BG. It’s just sad, especially with the great wrestlers the University of Toledo had.”

Walbridge resident to play college baseball in Illinois By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Walbridge resident Spencer Schultz, a Bowling Green High School senior, signed to play college baseball at Olney Central Community College in Olney, Illinois. Schultz transferred to BG from Lake his junior year when his father, Bob Schultz, got the head baseball coaching job there. Spencer, a 6-foot-3, 185 pound first baseman, batted over .404 with 47 hits, 19 RBIs, and had a .453 on base percentage last year for BG and was a second team All-Northern Lakes League designated hitter. Numbers are down slightly because he had to miss part of the season because of

transfer rules. As a sophomore at Lake, he was honorable mention All-NBC. He also was first team All-NLL and second team all-district tight end for BG’s football team last fall, which was the first Bobcat team in over a decade to qualify for the playoffs. He will be honored by the Toledo Wistert Chapter of the National Football Foundation at its 53rd Annual Scholar-Athlete Awards Banquet on Mar. 16 at the Seagate Centre. Spencer said the Olney Central coach and program were part of the attraction, too. Olney Central coach Dennis Conley is entering his 34th year as head coach, and enters the 2014 season three wins shy of 1,200 for his hall of fame career. Spencer, who will be playing sum-

mer baseball through the Ohio Elite, run through former Clay coaches Gary Isbell and Karl Knierim’s Strike Zone Sports Training Center, says playing for his father was a boost toward developing his baseball skills. “He pushes me a lot harder than a lot of other coaches ever had,” Spencer said. “He only expects the best things out of me, which are the best things for me. With him, there’s no sugar coating anything, so he just tells me straight up — either you have to do it or figure out a way to do it.” Coach Schultz, once a standout pitcher at Waite and longtime coach at Owens Community College, said the Great Rivers Athletic Conference was part of the draw for Spencer.

“As far as the conference goes, we did some checking with some area people and some area scouts, and from my understanding it’s the best junior college in the Midwest,” Bob Schultz said. “Not the school he’s going to, but that conference and a lot of recognition comes out of that area. That was the big draw for him — he wants to play (NCAA) Division I baseball and that’s what he’s definitely striving for.” Coach Schultz also coached two years for the Oregon-based summer collegiate Maumee Bay Buccaneers (1999-2004) which featured Major League pitcher Justin Thomas (Clay/Youngstown State) and firstyear Northwood baseball coach Jeff Hess (Clay/Owens), among other local standout prep stars who went on to play collegiately.

nspirational essage of the The German philosopher, Nietzsche said that when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you, and that when you stare at monsters, the monsters stare back at you. By the abyss, Nietzsche may have meant the emptiness and ultimate meaninglessness of existence. And thus, what Nietzsche seems to be saying is that anyone who looks at life as devoid of meaning will have this reflected back at them. A person who considers life to be meaningless will likely reflect this in some kind of existential despair. Likewise, we cannot look at or

Lake inducts Fimognari, TenEyck, Ward and 2009 cagers By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com The Lake Athletic Hall of Fame inducted an outstanding citizen, and outstanding athlete, an undefeated basketball team, and dedicated its track to a long time coach and teacher who passed away last July. The outstanding citizen is Bob Fimognari, a football statistician for the last 21 years, basketball statistician for the last 22 years, a Lake softball coach for five years and a Lake Township-Millbury youth baseball coach for 10 years. Fimognari, a member of the Flyer Club since 2000, can always be seen volunteering at tournaments, fundraisers, special events, booster functions, special projects, or “wherever there is a need,” states a press release, adding that Fimognari has provided “many years of performing numerous duties to improve the quality of our athletic programs and facilities.” The outstanding athlete is 2007 Lake grad Brittany TenEyck, who earned 10 varsity letters, including four in diving, four in cheerleading and two in track. In diving, she is a two-time Division II state champion in 2006 and 2007 and qualified for the state finals four times. In 2006, TenEyck won the one-meter state diving championship with a semifinal score of 301.25 and final score of 428.75. As a result, TenEyck, a junior, and classmate Krista Sanders (eighth) scored a combined 31 points to led Lake to finish 20th out of 55 teams scoring in the Division II team standings. In 2007 as a senior, TenEyck defended her state Division II diving championship at the C.T. Branim Natatorium in Canton and classmate and teammate Krista Sanders finished seventh. TenEcyk’s score of 475.55 was just 10 points off the state record, while Sanders scored 371.65. TenEyck, who was coached by her father Scott TenEyck in high school, holds the Division II district record for diving, and is a four-time sectional and district champion. TenEyck went on to a successful diving career at the University of Cincinnati, transferring after two years at the University of Toledo. Her senior year, she picked up the best finish for the Bearcats in the Big East meet with a fifth place effort in the one-meter event, tallying a six-dive total of 274.65 in the finals. Lake’s 2009 girls’ basketball team coached by Denny Meyer finished the regular season 20-0 and was rated sixth in the state by the Associated Press. They were Suburban Lakes League and sectional champions and district runner-up, losing to eventual Division III state semifinalist Liberty-Benton, 45-41, in the district final. The Flyers finished 22-1. One of the highlights of the season was when the Lake Field House sold out for the first time in school history for a girls’ basketball game. An enthusiastic crowd of 1,900 attended the Genoa-Lake game, which was a key win for Lake on its road to the SLL championship. Players and their class that year included freshmen Hannah Cox and Megan Schnell, sophomores Jessica Abbey, Kaysie Brittenham, Carly Huston, Drew Plummer and Emily Whitmore, juniors Kimberly Meyer and Kayla Reilly and seniors Kelsey McCloskey, Heather Cox, Lauren Lind, and Rebekah Will.

Brittenham, who led Lake to the regional semifinals her senior year, is currently a senior starter on the nationally-ranked Cedarville University basketball team. Longtime coach Norris “Gene” Ward, who the press release called “a legend at Lake Schools,” passed away on July 19, 2014. Lake’s outdoor track has been renamed in his honor. As a coach, he took over the football, basketball, cross country, track and hockey programs at Lake. In fact, he helped start both the football and hockey programs there. After helping to start the hockey team, he coached it for 27 years. In 1996, Ward’s accomplishments were recognized by the Ohio High School Athletic Association when it presented him with the very first Award for Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity in hockey coaching. Ward is survived by his daughters Terrie Deitemyer and Sandy Ward, who attended the induction ceremony at Lake on Feb. 20.

Hess girls first team Clay girls’ basketball put the finishing touches on the regular season by earning their 17th win with a 66-39 victory over Bowsher. Clay used a big 23-3 second quarter to break open a tight game, then put the game away in the third quarter by extending the lead to as much as 29. Leading the way for the Eagles was Hannah Hess, who scored 23 points and knocked down four three-point shots. Haley Hess hit for 14 and nine other Eagles scored in the team’s final home game of the season. The Hess girls, both junior guards, earned first team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference and first team all-district honors after leading the team in scoring — Haley at 14.2 points per game and Hannah at 14.1. Clay finished 17-6 overall and 9-5 in the TRAC, good enough for third place. The 17 victories are the most regular season wins in 12 years for the girls’ program, and nine wins and finishing third is the best Clay has done since joining the TRAC.

The Press Box The third-seeded Eagles’ season ended last Tuesday in a 39-30 Division I sectional semifinal loss to No. 13 seed Anthony Wayne (9-13). Coach Corey Slovak believes one game doesn’t take away from what his team accomplished. “We have been emphasizing all year that we don’t want a single game to define our season, win or lose. As tough as the loss to AW was, looking at the big picture we are going to celebrate some great accomplishments from this year,” Slovak said. In the TRAC standings, Clay finished behind league champion and three-time defending state semifinalist Notre Dame, which is state-ranked again this year, and runner-up Central Catholic, which defeated Notre Dame once. The Eagles split games with the Irish. During the regular season, Clay was an unbeaten 8-0 against non-conference opponents. Seven seniors, Morgan Connor, Haley Orr, Sam Enck, Hannah Novak, Maddison Grimes, Jessalyn Bohland, Jenna Kidd, earned all-district academic honors.

Attitude change leads Ranger girls to winning season By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com When it comes to basketball, it is about having a positive outlook, and the Northwood girls’ have found it. For the first time in three years, Northwood finished with a winning season; even though at 12-11 they were just one game over .500. They were 11-5 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, good enough for third place out of nine teams. The Rangers were on a mission from the very start. “We are more of a team this year and we are sick of being labeled as losers, so we worked hard to change that,” said 5-foot-7 junior wing Dara Artino. Evergreen, from a Northwest Ohio Athletic League deep in girls’ basketball talent this year, hit eight 3-point goals to end Northwood’s season with a 53-33 sectional semifinal victory last Tuesday. Northwood sophomore guard Allison Roach had three treys of her own and was 6-for-8 at the line in scoring 19 points. The athletic guard and shooter led the team in scoring, averaging 15.5 points per game. Fourth-year coach Bill Hamilton’s Rangers last had a winning season his first year, 2011-12, when the Rangers finished 12-9 overall and 9-5 in the TAAC. That team was heavy-laden with experience. This year’s team has one senior starter, 5-foot-8 Philysity Wojcinski, so Hamilton is counting on continuing to build for the future. “We’re already planning for next year. This has been a process because the first year that I was here we were senior-heavy and we were pretty successful at that point,” Hamilton said. “Then, we went down to a lot of underclassmen and we’ve had to build to this point.” Hamilton said Wojcinski played her role in getting the program jump started, and the younger players wanted her to go out successful, too. “She’s truly been what we have asked her to do as far as leadership goes. She has kept things going and flowing as a group and we’re pretty excited about what she

Roach said, “We wanted to send our seniors out with a winning season, and we accomplished that, and we wanted to move our spot up in the TAAC from last to third, and now we are third.” Credit goes to Yenrick Hamilton says part of the credit this year goes to first-year assistant Tim Yenrick, a former coach at Rossford. Yenrick, a Waite graduate, is known to many for his role as director of the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio, former director of the East Toledo Family Center, and brother of former long-time Waite principal Dave Yenrick. Wojcinski, 5-10 sophomore Jade Laviolette and 5-11 junior Kristin Sawmiller also credit Yenrick for finding ways to get

the most out of the players. “As the kids said, my old assistant, Jim Besgrove, helped tremendously, and now we have a new assistant who has brought in some new things and some new ideas. It’s just this progression of things that has created the success we have had,” Hamilton said. “He has definitely brought some newness and life to some of the things we were doing, and a new way of looking at things, and they have really bought into that as well. When we sat down at the beginning of the season, I said, ‘This is what we have, so what do we need to do to make it better?’ and he brought his ideas along with what we’ve done in the past.” Hamilton says Wojcinski, Laviolette, Roach, Artino, Sawmiller, and 5-7 junior Alexandria Rable are the leaders on the court. Four of them, Wojcinski (7.4),

Sawmiller (5.7), Artino (5.5) and Rable (5.4) rebounded by committee, combining to bring down 24 rebounds per game. “Those six girls have been the catalyst behind our success and they have truly worked hard together as a unit,” Hamilton said. “We decided that we were going to build on that unit so we would create the success that we thought we could get, and we attained some of that and we’re looking for an even better season next season because of what we were able to do this year.” Rable says the players all picked up speed as they’ve grown older and are starting to score more in transition. Plus, many of them played varsity last year, so they came into the season experienced. The team got the wins it expected, some coming over smaller TAAC schools, but had trouble standing up against topnotch league programs like state-ranked Ottawa Hills. But Hamilton saw a different team on the floor at the end of the season compared to when they first started conditioning last fall, and that is what every coach wants to see. “We’ve improved throughout the season,” Hamilton said. “Every time we step out onto the floor we see different things and new things. They really have decided that this is going to be fun and we’re going to work as hard as we can to make it work.” All the players say playing as a unit helped, but Sawmiller also credits the support the team is receiving from fans who attend games. Roach says familiarity helps, too. “Having a team full of best friends helps a lot because we trust each other and we’ve been playing more as a team because we’re all friends, so we work really well together,” Roach said. “There are no ball hogs or anything like that. We all know we have certain jobs on the team and we help each other out.” Laviolette says the girls gave plenty of time at opens gyms and scrimmages during the offseason last year, and Hamilton expects more of the same this year. “We’re going to do our best and play as hard as we can to be successful, and that is our goal — to be successful,” Hamilton said.
