East Toledo ties
Innocence project considers case The Kansas City-based Midwest Innocence Project is considering the case of convicted child molester Danny Wyatt Newton. A former Air Force sergeant, Airman Basic Newton, an East Toledo native and 1995 Waite High School graduate, is currently serving a 25-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He and his family insist on his innocence and blame the military justice system for making errors leading to his conviction. AB Newton was found guilty by a jury of enlisted military personnel of attempted sodomy upon a child under 12 years of age, conspiracy to obstruct justice, indecent liberties, and sodomy upon a child under 12 years of age during a general court martial proceeding convened at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, on December 21, 2010. The victim was his then-eight-year-old stepdaughter. In addition to his prison sentence, Newton received a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and re-

duction in rank to E-1. Newton has maintained his innocence since the ordeal began in 2008. In August after his military appeals were exhausted, Newton filed a writ to have his pleadings heard in the U.S. Supreme Court, but the court declined to distribute the case to conference. The writ referred to constitutional issues relating to how the military court and military police handled evidence and other issues. The next recourse seemed to be taking the case to the innocence project network.
“We’ve been looking into the innocence project for some time, but the issue was he had to complete his appeals before they would even consider it,” said Virginia Beach (Va.) Master Police Officer Allen Perry, who is helping Newton with legal research. “Once that was done, it was a three to six month wait for them to review the initial application because they review thousands of these things. Just the fact that they have reviewed it and accepted it is a huge boon to us.” The Midwest Innocence Project is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the investigation, litigation and exoneration of wrongfully convicted men and women in a five-state region. The MIP was founded a decade ago through the University of MissouriKansas City School of Law and is part of the National Innocence Network. The MIP claims recent independent studies conservatively estimate that between two and five percent of all inmates in America were falsely convicted, with some estimates reaching up to seven percent. The MIP adds that after a conviction, it takes roughly seven to ten years for an inContinued on page 2
The Oregon school board plans to ask voters in the fall to pass a 3.95-mill levy to fund school operations. The levy is less than the 5.9 mill levies that voters have previously defeated, most recently in the General Election last November. “We are in need of a levy,” Superintendent Dr. Lonny Rivera said at a recent school board meeting. “This district, over eight years ago, started with a 5.9 trajectory – it failed. A few years later, another 5.9 attempt – it failed. And then, just this past November, a 5.9 – and it failed.” He noted that the vote counts in the previous elections were not even close. “The failures were not close. They were very large,” he said. “Truth be told, and I want this to be very clear, we need a 5.9 levy. But our community seems to be telling us that a 5.9 is not happening.” Rivera said voters may find a smaller levy amount more palatable to support. “The idea of a 3.95 was something that we looked into. It’s not a cure-all for our district. We have some other things that are looming on the horizon that we’re hoping for that will help us maintain what we’re doing for kids. We have some industry that’s moving in that we’re very excited about that will start generating tax monies in 2017. We’re hoping that that will help. And we’re hoping that other spinoffs will come and help supplement what it is that we need to function,” he said. “Some people will say, `You must not need money. You’re dropping from a 5.9 to a 3.95,” he added. “I can tell you with all honesty, in all sincerity, we do need a 5.9, but I have to have something to run the district. We’ve made some cuts through attrition. There’s programs that no longer exist. We started this trajectory way back eight years ago, by removing things that we can live without, so we’re doing a slow bleed.” If there is another levy defeat in the district, more cuts are on the way, he said. “The things I have to look at to recommend to the board are things I hold very sacred and very dear to my heart. If we fail in November, then there’s going to have to Continued on page 4

...but I believe he’s got a heck of a good case against Child and Family Services in the state of Illinois.
“
Three-year wait looms Perry says Newton will have to sit in prison at least three years before the MIP takes any definite action on the case. Meanwhile, Newton and those helping are following up by preparing a more detailed report about the alleged errors that took place during the investigation and trial. “This case is just full of errors — massive errors,” Perry said. “They are just glaring and disgusting. I mean, I’m a member of the American criminal justice system, and I’m ashamed of this case. “That’s really hard for me to accept because it’s one of my friends who I know didn’t do this. I know that the lack of quality of the investigation in this case makes me sick. I know that if I had done the same quality of work with the agency that I work with, I would have been brought up on charges — either internal or criminal. That’s my opinion.” Perry, who is with the Virginia Beach Police Department crime prevention unit and is the Project Lifesaver coordinator there, says the allegations were originally made in Virginia and believes that is where the jurisdiction should be, not Illinois. “Unfortunately, he can’t sue the military because he’s a military member, but I believe he’s got a heck of a good case against Child and Family Services in the state of Illinois,” Perry said. “We (he and his wife) were caregivers for (the child) at different times when we didn’t have kids. I’m trained to see child abuse. This isn’t some foreign world — I’ve investigated these same kinds of cases on the street, and the only interview I got was a quick phone call from a Child and Family Services person who asked me my name, address, and how I knew Danny and Sherry, and as soon as she realized that I could give her evidence against the allegations, she ended the phone conversation,” Newton claims. “None of her teachers here were contacted to see if any changes were happening in her school work or grades, and they contacted none of her other caregivers, like my in-laws, who lived less than a mile away from where Sherry and Danny lived and they baby-sat (the child) at different times. And, my mother-in-law is a teacher at an elementary school, and she was never contacted, even though Sherry and Danny gave them this information. Any information that didn’t meet their criteria for finding him guilty, they never bothered with.
“My father-in-law, who was a Major in the army, knew about this when it was going on, and he made a comment about how screwed up the military legal system is.” Perry alleges the military police violated Newton’s constitutional rights. He said he saw military police get away with procedures that he could never get away as a policeman in a civil setting, such as an alleged illegal strip search by military police of Newton’s wife, Sherry, before she entered the courtroom. “I could never in a million years get away with that, and neither can they,” Perry said. “You can’t just go sue them (military police) because they violated your constitu-
Former Air Force Staff Sergeant Danny Wyatt Newton tional rights, and it’s not because you joined the military and don’t have constitutional rights. That’s not the case. You don’t burn the constitution when you join the military.” It began in 2008 when Newton’s stepdaughter began telling extended family members that her stepfather was asking her to commit sexual acts. A conversation between the daughter and AB’s Newton’s wife was recorded and found on a computer during a search. Newton said during one of two polygraph examinations, which he passed, that on April 9, 2008, he attempted to call his stepdaughter, who was staying with her maternal grandmother in New York State
during a time he had just returned from a temporary duty assignment in Wichita Falls, Texas. After receiving no answer, he attempted to call his wife Sherry, an Air Force staff sergeant stationed at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq. It was during that phone conversation with Sherry, who was crying, that she told Danny his stepdaughter was accusing him of illicit behavior while the family was together in Virginia. Prosecutors say the incidents continued from August 2005 to April 2008. On September 30, 2008, AB Newton was approached by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations while at Fort Meade, Maryland. He was given a Miranda warning and was advised that criminal charges were being filed under Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for indecent acts with a minor. Among letters of clemency written to an appeals court are eight written by family, including his wife, and 32 additional letters written by friends and associates. The majority are military personnel. Danny and Sherry met in 1997 and married in 2001, and her daughter was 4-yearsold at the time. Danny, who joined the Air Force in 2002, specialized as a communications radio operator until his arrest.

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublictions.com To see where your tax dollars allocated for roads and related projects are going to be spent in the next 30 years or so, you can attend meetings organized by the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments. TMACOG is seeking public input on its draft 2015-2045 Transportation Plan for the region, which includes Williams, Defiance, Paulding, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Wood, Hancock, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca and Erie counties in Ohio and Hillsdale, Lenawee and Monroe counties in Michigan. The next meetings are scheduled for March 10 at the Way Library, 101 E. Indiana, Perrysburg, and March 12 at the Wood County office building, One Courthouse Square, Bowling Green. The meetings are scheduled from 6:308 p.m. A daytime meeting is scheduled for March 13 at the Main Library, 325 Michigan St., Toledo, from noon to 1 p.m. TMACOG planners have compiled a list of what they call priority projects that would be implemented during the next 30 years if funding is available. Based on past funding levels, they believe there will be sufficient revenues – primarily state and federal funds – for all of the proposed projects. A project to improve access and pedestrian safety on Navarre Avenue between White Street and Lallendorf Road is second on the list. The estimated cost is $10 million and construction is projected to occur between 2021 and 2025, A completion of the Oregon bike network ranks 44th and has an estimated cost of $1.7 million. It could start as early as 2016. Another project in Oregon and Toledo would construct a path connecting an existing walkway near the Craig Street Bridge along Seaman Road to a trail in Oregon. It ranks 48th and has an estimated cost of about $600,000. Improvements to Tracy Road between State Route 795 and Walbridge Road to accommodate heavier trucks as well as add sidewalks rank 54th are on the list. The estimated cost is $2 million. Ranking 55th is a proposed project to improve the Tracy Road/Wales Road intersection to better accommodate truck traffic with a wider turning radius and traffic signal. The estimated cost is $1.2 million. In all, there are 154 projects on the list. transit and bikeways.

New EMS equipment demonstrated By Press Staff Writer Without hiring another paramedic, the Lake Township Fire Department will have, in effect, another set of hands to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation during medical emergency runs. The township has acquired a LUCAS (Lund Hospital Cardiac Arrest System) CPR device that will be kept in the Medic 50 vehicle, Bruce Moritz, fire chief, said. Demonstrations of the device and a new Lifepak monitor/defibrillator were held Tuesday at the township administration building following the regular meeting of the township trustees. Ray Lee, a battalion chief with the fire department, said the LUCAS unit “frees up our people to do other things, It gives good quality CPR. We wear out. This thing doesn’t.”
Dunn Chevy Buick is Your Best Choice.
He said that CPR protocol recommends that persons performing hand compressions on a victim’s chest switch every two minutes to keep compressions constant. That isn’t always possible in an ambulance racing to a hospital. EMS units in Lucas County have reported a significant increase in survival rates among victims en route to a hospital while using the device, Lee added. New Lifepak units will be kept at the fire department’s stations in Walbridge and Millbury. Chief Moritz said in addition to defibrillating a patient, the unit can monitor heat beats and blood pressure and record carbon dioxide levels in a victim. Electrocardiogram results can be transmitted to emergency rooms at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, Toledo Hospital, and the University of Toledo Medical Center.

And we’re making those adjustments in-house to try to not affect our kids and the experiences they have in our district. But after November, if it doesn’t happen, there’s going to be issues of what we’re going to have to do without. And I have to preserve what happens in the educational environment first.” Those cuts would be in the extracurricular realm, he said. “It’s not a threat. It’s just something that – if we run out of money, in good conscious, I can’t allow those things to continue while I do not educate the kids who need a future, who have to find a job, who have to have employment. Those things have to be first and foremost. We’ve listened to our community, we’re not going to try and do another 5.9. We’re going to try and get by with what we can. We’re hoping we get three years out of it. There’s other districts that do this approach – where they do smaller amounts – which is more palatable to the community. Rivera said the district is doing “great things,” which would be compromised with another levy defeat. “I don’t want those things to stop. At least a 3.95 levy will buy us some time, and with the industry moving in, it may make our situation a little better,” he said. Board Member Dan Saevig agreed. “No one wants to add more taxes if it can possibly be avoided.

Commission OKs Brown Road permit By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon Planning Commission recommended approval for a Special Use permit on property that will be used as a storage facility for wood and work trailers. The property, 5435 Brown Road, is the location of the now closed Schroeder and Younker Lumber Co. & Millwork. A.A. Boos is planning to buy the property. Sondra Boos applied for a Special Use in an R-1 Low Density Residential District. The matter was referred to Oregon City Council for the March 23 council meeting. Scott Hayes, who represented A.A. Boos at the Planning Commission meeting, said the property would not be a contractor’s yard, which will remain at the company’s primary location on Pickle Road. A.A. Boos plans to tear down dilapidated structures on the property and build a new 9,600 square foot pole building for a small woodworking shop, which the company would like to relocate from its Pickle Road location. The property, which still contains remnants of lumber, is in need of improvements,” Mayor Mike Seferian said to The Press. Costs to clean up the site would be considerable, he added. A.A. Boos is doing the community a favor by getting rid of an eyesore. “The property is unsightly, and A.A. Boos wants to tear down the buildings, clean up the property, and put a new building up,” said Seferian, who is on the Planning Commission. “You can’t go wrong with that.” Seferian said the property is in a thickly wooded area that is not visible from the street. Approximately six work trailers would be stored outside. There would be no sales on the property, which would take place out of their Pickle Road office. Up to three trucks per day might visit the site, with few deliveries. It would operate from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, rarely on the weekends. About four trees will be removed, though every effort will be made to keep as many trees as possible. It will take about a year to construct the facility. Most of the adjoining properties are zoned R-1 Residential and A-1 Agricultural. Buffering would be required along those properties next to the site once the building is constructed, according to James Gilmore, Oregon’s building and zoning commissioner. Rick Orovitz, a member of the Planning Commission, asked Hayes if there would be any bulk storage of other construction materials on the property. Hayes said there would only be work trailers, wood and the woodworking shop. There was opposition to the application. A petition with 55 signatures was submitted to the Planning Commission. Some had concerns about the possible increase in traffic, and drainage problems. Pamela Beavers, Pickle Road, expressed concerns about drainage and if the property use complies with the city’s Master Plan. Seferian said the Master Plan offers guidelines for land use. Public Service Director Paul Roman said drainage and all utilities will be reviewed once a complete site plan is submitted for approval. Gilmore said “anyone could go in and use the property as is.” “The reason we are here is because the applicant wants to upgrade and improve the property,” he said. The Planning Commission recommended approval with stipulations: • No commercial sales; • Size of building limited to 10,000 square feet; • No outside storage other than wood, or anything directly related with mill work, and a maximum of six trailers; • If the property is sold after purchased by A.A.

Stritch Robotics takes on regional competitors The Robotics Club at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School competed in the regional meet in Fargo, ND, the weekend of Dec. 6. The team’s robot finished 27th overall in the competition that included teams from various parts of the United States. The team qualified by finishing second in the BEST (Boosting, Science, Engineering, and Technology) competition at Bowling Green State University on Saturday, Nov. 8. The group competed against 12 other high school teams throughout the region. “This was a great accomplishment for our students,” said Eric Sieja, a science teacher at Stritch who was the team’s advisor. “There were a lot of obstacles for them to overcome and they were able to do so in a short amount of time and under the stress of a lot of pressure.” To qualify, students had to design a robot that could pick up and move parts, as well as help build a windmill. In addition to designing and building a working robot that completes these specific tasks, students were also tasked with creating a marketing plan and presentation for their work. They also were required to fully document all their activities and ideas related to the robot. At the competition in Fargo, students were given the same tasks, but faced much

tougher competition and teams that have been competing for much longer than two years. “Everyone was shocked when we told them this was only our second year of competing in the BEST Competition,” said Sieja. “Everyone kept saying, ‘This is only your second year and you made it here? Whoa.’ That really let us know that we are a lot further along than most teams in our position.” The Robotics Club is part of the STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math,
and Medicine) initiative at CSCHS. Any student, whether or not they are enrolled in a STEMM course, may join the Robotics Club. Only 37 teams in the Midwest qualified for the competition and Stritch’s team accomplished the feat in just its second year. “I’m so proud of our students,” said Sieja. “They came together as a team and made the necessary adjustments to advance. This is a great group of kids who are incredibly committed to making this work.” In addition to designing and building a working robot that completes a specific task, students were also tasked with creating a marketing plan and presentation for their work. They also were required to fully document all their activities and ideas related to the robot. The Northern Plains Regional Final was sponsored by North Dakota State University. The BEST organization is described on its website as “a non-profit, volunteer-based organization whose mission is to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, technology, and math through participation in a sports-like, science-and engineering-based robotics competition.”
New Oregon senior center plans April opening By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon’s new senior center on Navarre Avenue is expected to open next month, according to city officials. “They are working to upgrade the building right now,” Mayor Mike Seferian said last week. “When it’s done, it’s going to look neat.” The city last year bought a 13,500-squarefoot building at 4350 Navarre Avenue for a centrally located senior center. A small section of the building is being leased by an insurance company. Although the building is in good shape, some upgrades were needed, including improvements to the kitchen so that meals can be served to seniors. “There’s a kitchen there, but it’s more like an office staff break-room,” explained City Administrator Mike Beazley. “We’re going to be upgrading that a little bit so we can meet some of the food service needs of the senior center. The work in the kitchen is going to be completed after we’re opened. We don’t want to delay the opening.” Upgrades to the facility that will be completed this month include changes to comply with the fire code, new flooring to meet the needs of a senior center rather than an office facility, and the movement of some non-load bearing walls to bring more natural light into the rooms. “They had more individual small offices than what they needed in that corridor,” said Beazley. “Those are the things being worked on now, with an expectation that they can get this done in March. The group can get prepared to move when the weather is nicer in April,” said Beazley.
The current senior center on Bay Shore Road has long been considered outdated and too small for seniors’ needs. The James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center, a former pumping station owned by the city, is cramped with only 2,800 square feet, which limits the availability of certain programs. Seferian said the city has not yet decided what to do with the building once the new facility is opened. “It’s an old building,” he said. Future use would require renovation, which would be costly. “It’s not realistic to put a lot of money into that,” he said. Beazley agreed. “It’s not in excellent condition. We want to look at a range of ideas that are the best options for the community,” he said. There has been some discussion within the administration and on council about the development of a lakefront access plan in that area, said Beazley. “We are looking at some ways to better connect our community with the lakefront, and our space in the South Shore Park area is part of that. During the course of this year, we’ll begin the process of looking at the range of options that are available to us. We have some opportunities, we think, to make it easier for our residents to connect to the lake. We’re going to get some community input. Between now and 2016, we’re going to make some decisions and see if there are some ways to achieve some of these objectives in practical ways,” said Beazley. Revenue from a 0.5-mill five-year senior levy, which generates $210,000 to the city annually, will fund expanded services at the center.
A senior advisory committee met regularly last year to discuss the best options for distributing the levy funds. The city approved a senior service plan that includes enhanced transportation services, some chore services, outreach services, and typical senior center activities that focus on socialization. The plans will likely change over time to meet the needs of seniors. “Until we get into the new space, we’re not going to know what there is a demand for. The goal is to make sure the plans are flexible enough to change with the expectations and needs of the community,” said Beazley. The city will continue to lease part of the new senior facility to the insurance company. Approximately 6,500 square feet will be devoted for senior activities.

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

Tiger Ridge supporters scared By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Tiger Ridge Exotics supporters say testimony from an Ohio Department of Agriculture worker has them fearing that the agency is not taking good care of the 11 animals it seized. Employing a search and seizure warrant, ODA officials removed six tigers, a lion, black leopard, liger, bobcat, cougar and Kodiak bear from Tiger Ridge on a cold Wednesday afternoon in late January. The animals from the Stony Ridge exotic animal shelter remain at a holding facility until appeals are heard from 71-yearold owner Kenny Hetrick and his Toledo attorney, Karen A. Novak. In Columbus, administrative hearings over the search and seizure finished last week and this week Hetrick begins his appeal to have his permitting for the exotic animals restored after it was previously denied by the state. Last week in Bowling Green Wood County Common Pleas Court, Judge Kelsey Reeves ruled against the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s filing requesting the court to dismiss a lawsuit brought on by Hetrick. Last Monday, an ODA worker testified that a cougar, Cindy, was bleeding when it arrived at the ODA facility in Reynoldsburg. The ODA acknowledged that the cougar had sore paws and they had put down rubber mats to help them heal, but ODA Communications Director Erica M. Hawkins said the worker exaggerated his testimony. The worker was dismissed by the ODA later in the week, but Tiger Ridge volunteers praised his testimony on Facebook. “Good for this state employee for speaking up and doing the right thing,” stated a Facebook post attributed to April Green. “I can only hope others will, too. “This whole seizure was unnecessary and these animals need to be back safe, with their caretakers at Tiger Ridge. What happened with Cindy, the Cougar, is unacceptable. I hope the truth keeps coming out. The ODA can’t keep covering their asses forever. Please keep Tiger Ridge and their beloved big cats and bear in your thoughts and prayers. Truth has to prevail for the sake of these animals and their family.” A post attributed to Chris Tiefel stated, “I’m not saying the state didn’t overreact, make mistakes, or did things that amount to abuse in their attempt to circumvent the courts and keep the animals for as long as possible. “I’m saying that we should remain skeptical of things, even if they agree with our side, until there is evidence to back it up,” Tiefel’s post continued. “Especially from someone who was fired coming forward with something so inflammatory...” Hawkins admits that the ODA has never seen so much support for an exotic animal owner who has had his animals taken away. The supporters also posted two photos
showing two big cats in small enclosures with cages, allegedly taken by someone inside the Reynoldsburg facility. The ODA’s policy is not allowing photographs of the animals inside its $3 million facility. “These two big cats were healthy, happy and well-cared for at Tiger Ridge Exotics,” posted the same April Green. “They lived in large outdoor enclosures, with dens, pools and enrichment. They had wonderful, loving caretakers, Kenny and his daughter Corrina,” the post continued. “Just from observing these photos, the tiger looks to have lost weight and could possibly be pacing ...his cage, a sign of stress. The lion, who’s 25 years old, is also showing signs of stress and perhaps even pain, the way he’s curled up with his face pressed against the cage. “This is not body language of healthy, content animals. These photos show behavior and body language of animals under physiological and psychological stress. No matter how you feel about exotic animal ownership, you cannot tell me that this is in the best interest of the Tiger Ridge animals.” ODA says Cindy is healthy Dr. Dr. Melissa Simmerman, one of three veterinarians at the facility, assured The Press that the animals are doing fine, contrary to the worker’s testimony and posts on Facebook by Tiger Ridge supporters. She said one way they can tell the animals are content is that, unbeknownst to many people, large cats often purr just like domestic cats. “Some of them can’t purr and they make a unique sound that is specific to them. But, they all make noises that show that they are content,” Dr. Simmerman said. She said the veterinarians there are more than qualified for their care, and they are receiving good care and diet. “Veterinarians are very diversified. In our profession and our knowledge, we are basically equipped with all that we need while in vet school to be able to go out and essentially take care of any species of animals that is out there,” Dr. Simmerman said. “The diet we provide the animals is from a company that a lot of zoos get their diets from, so we make sure that we feed them a diet-specific to their species and their needs.” However, the animals are not able to go outdoors at the facility. “We have to keep in mind that our facility is a temporary holding facility,” Dr. Simmerman said. “But, there are skylights built into the facility to allow natural light to come in and we also have all the lighting factor in the facility on a 12-hour cycle to mimic what we call the natural diurnal cycle — which is basically a 12-hour daynight cycle.” “But we’re taking care of the animals daily, they are being looked at by a veterinarian daily, so we’re monitoring their health status to make sure that they are doing well back in the building.”

Voting questions To the editor: Would you want Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to be our next president? His tax cuts have left the state with a $283 million deficit and a projected deficit of $2 billion by the end of the next fiscal year in July. Bloomberg News reported recently the state will delay $108 million in debt payments due in May – a move that will increase the amount Wisconsin has to pay. Would you say this is good leadership? Would you want Jeb Bush to be our next president? His father and brother, George W., dragged this country through national traumas. In a recent speech, Jeb blamed our President Obama for the void that hatched ISIS, which he noted didn’t exist in 2003 at the dawn of the “liberation of Iraq.” Actually his brother’s invasion of Iraq spawned al-Qaeda in Iraq and started this trauma. Bush, Sr. thinks that Jeb will get elected to correct and make up some of W’s mistakes. Bush W. knew nothing about foreign affairs and his father surrounded him with his own advisers. On the day of Jeb’s speech, he released a list of 21 advisers, 19 of whom had worked in the administrations of his father and brother. The list starts with James Baker. Then there was Paul Wolfowitz, a cheerleader of the Iraq invasion and the man who assured Congress that Iraqi oil would pay for the country’s reconstruction. Then there was Michael Hayden, who misled Congress about wire tapping and torture, and Michael Chertoff, then Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, who messed up the cleanup efforts following Hurricane Katrina. Jeb also praised Henry Kissinger, who advised prolonging the Vietnam War, which the Nixon Administration thought might help win the 1972 election. Are you impressed with the advisers? Would you vote for Sen. Rob Portman? He was one of 31 Republican senators who opposed the “clean” Homeland Security Department funding bill because it did not address Republican objections to President Obama’s executive order on immigration. Portman didn’t care about protecting the U.S. from terrorism. Now here is a man who really loves his country? He would rather

not fully fund the department so he could get even with our president. Portman needs to uphold his oath of office. He doesn’t work for Tom Zawistowski, executive director of the Portage County Tea party, who was happy with Sen. Portman’s vote. The Republican party needs to start working for all the people. If they can’t do their job, we will vote them out of office. Joann Schiavone Walbridge Editor’s note: According to Bob Lang, director of the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau, a recent bureau memorandum indicated a $283 million deficit by June 30 of this year. However, the state has since been informed the Potawatomi tribe will be making a $50 million tribal casino gaming payment that it had withheld in 2013-14, reducing the projected deficit to $233 million. The $2 billion projected deficit figure is based on state revenue estimates for the next biennium ending June 30, 2017 and the full funding of all agency budget requests. If those requests aren’t fully funded but are kept near their current levels the bureau projects a deficit in the $600-$800 million range. Schiavone was a volunteer with the Obama for America campaigns.
Don’t ignore stage 4 To the editor: Metavivor, a non-profit organization for the research of metastatic breast cancer, has held an online campaign titled “Mets Monday” on March 2 to push for an increase in the percentage of funding given to metastatic cancer research. The idea behind Mets Monday was to use social media to bring an awareness to the issue that an extremely deadly disease is significantly underfunded, receiving only 2 percent of breast cancer research funding. Metastatic breast cancer is a type of cancer that spreads rapidly to other areas of the body. Primarily these areas are the lungs, bones and brain. Survival rates are terribly low, being that 97-99 percent of
patients with it will die. Metavivor reports that over 155,000 people worldwide are living with metastatic breast cancer. And with the given survival rates, only around 4,650 will survive. These percentages have remained unchanged since the 1980s. Unfortunately, the disease is not a rare one. Doctor Iman Mohammed, head oncologist at University of Toledo Medical Center reports that around 30 percent of patients diagnosed with early stage breast cancer will end up with metastatic cancer down the road. This means that early detection of breast cancer cannot be counted as a cure. In fact, according to Dr. Mohammed, the high survival rates from early detection are manipulative, as they actually only mean an increased chance of survival for the next five years. Metavivor puts 100 percent of donations to metastatic breast cancer research, as research is the only way to find a cure. Metavivor Research and Support Inc. states “We are tired of pink washing and awareness. We are tired of talk about ‘warriors’ and ‘winners.’ Metastatic breast cancer is 97-99 percent fatal. We don’t die for lack of fighting. We die because research for our disease receives only 2 percent of breast cancer research funds.” Because 30 percent of breast cancer patients will be diagnosed with metastatic cancer, Metavivor would like to see 30 percent of funding going toward researching the disease. With a disease so common and so deadly, 2 percent of funds simply isn’t enough to support the research needed to find a cure. Amy Bockey Walbridge
A top priority To the editor: The public is not well informed regarding the costs associated with water and sewer rates. It is the responsibility of all municipalities that contract through the City of Toledo for water and/ or sewer services to furnish their residents
with access to the rates compiled on the “Octopus Chart.” The chart displays total rates paid by all municipalities. Final cost consists of Toledo’s charge, county or district charge and your community charge. Sewer rates add a very significant amount to our monthly water bill. We run many gallons per month onto our lawns, swimming pools, car washings and drinking water, etc. We pay sewer rates on all those gallons without benefit of any reduction in sewer rates. Most municipalities have an option to install a second water meter to avoid the sewer rate on water used via that meter. The second meter is expensive to install and has a monthly minimum charge when not used. Citizens would appreciate a determined portion of their water purchases to be exempt from the sewer charge without the costs of second meter. TMACOG (Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments) has discussed the need to form a regional water authority to better manage facilities, water resources and the rates we pay. There is a perception that Toledo opposes the creation of a regional water authority. The time has come for all of our mayors and council members to make our regional water and sewer system a consistent, top priority. The public appreciates the recent governmental efforts put forth to address the toxic algae bloom. We would appreciate similar efforts in creating the regional water authority and addressing the informational issues listed above. Jim Reiter Whitehouse, O.
Dog park needed To the editor: I have visited many cities that have dog parks and now Toledo has a beautiful dog park. I would love for Oregon to have one too. Why do we need a dog park? The answer is simple – if you love dogs you know they need to run free and have fun too. At least mine do. Janice Billings Oregon

Circle of Grace almost broken at talk on Islamic terrorism Page Two
by John Szozda
“
If I am a moderate Muslim I am a target of radical Islamists, too.
“
The evening started out as a graceful conversation between a Muslim and close to a hundred Christians. It did not end that way. One man told the crowd he is afraid millions of radical Islamists want to come to America to behead us infidels. He told the Muslim speaker he was not a true Muslim. Another young man started reading a six-page tract written by evangelical missionary David Wood on the “true” evil intent of the Quran. He wouldn’t stop despite shouts to sit down. Reverend Bob Ball approached him face-to-face, pled with him to stop, and reminded him this was a “Circle of Grace” evening. He urged the man to join him in prayer. But, it was to no avail. The man rambled on. The event Wednesday evening at Rossford United Methodist Church was the second in a series of conversations about some of the most misunderstood groups in our country: Muslims, Hispanics and AfroAmericans. The talks are designed to be “graceful” conversations to examine how we can better understand and live in harmony with those from different cultures, races or religious backgrounds. As you can see, graceful conversation is needed. We can’t go to war against 1.9 billion Muslims. We need ways to differentiate friend from foe. Dr. Sayed Amjad Hussain, a Pakistan native, author and past president of the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, was the guest speaker and he attempted, in a graceful way, to provide insight into Islam. He talked about our common ground. “If I am a moderate Muslim I am a target of radical Islamists, too. We have something in common… We need to band
together against this menace,” he said. Dr. Hussain said the invasion of Iraq was not justified. It was a mistake predicated on the false premise that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. “However,” he added, “Even though we as a nation are war weary, unless America leads the way to stop and eliminate the Islamic State, it will proliferate and this is the time to go and face that menace.” Dr. Hussain said we need to understand the motivation of various radical Islamic groups and individuals. What drives ISIS is not the same motivation that drove the men who massacred 132 children in his hometown of Peshawar, Pakistan, and it is not the same motivation for the men who killed 12 at Charlie Hebdo, the Paris satirical magazine.
The motivations are also different in Iraq and Syria. But all this violence is precipitated by Muslims, so it gets fixed as “Islamic Terrorism” in the American conscience, Dr. Hussain said. Sometimes the violence has little to do with Islam and more to do with living conditions, power or self-determination. More than 60,000 Muslims in Pakistan have been killed by other Muslims, he said. The Charlie Hebdo attack was to avenge the prophet Mohammed who had been depicted unfavorably in a number of cartoons. Dr. Hussain said Muslims believe Mohammed to be a “near perfect” human and we need to understand ridicule of the prophet causes great pain to a Muslim. He likened the pain to that which Christians felt in 1987 when the artist Andres Serrano submerged the image of Christ on the cross in a glass of urine. Freedom of speech should not be sacrosanct, he said. There are limitations for libel, slander, sedition, obscenity, incitement and hate speech. That said, Dr. Hussain is curious about the violent reaction to denigrating the prophet Mohammed. He said Mohammed many times walked away from those who ridiculed him. “So I ask, if the man who is at the center of this discussion and controversy had the magnanimity to walk away when he was being insulted by his family, why don’t people walk away now and follow his example?” Muslims have had more than 1400 years of living peacefully with other cultures and religions and they have been assimilated in the melting pot of America. But, the perception of Muslims changed in 2001. Dr. Hussain told the story of a friend who, the day after the World Trade Center attacks, entered the neighborhood he had lived in for 35 to 40 years. His neighbor re-
treated when he saw him on the street and later told him he did so because he was fearful that all Muslims were fanatical. “Thirty-five to forty years of living in the same neighborhood meant nothing, but that one broadcast on television meant everything.” Can the image ever be repaired? Dr. Hussain is doubtful. He hears a fearful American public saying this about moderate Muslims, “If they’re not terrorists, if they’re not fanatics, why don’t they speak up? And if they speak up, why don’t they speak up often enough? And if they speak up often enough why don’t they speak up loud enough?” Many Muslims are frustrated. All the leading Muslim organizations in the world condemn terrorism, but this message is not getting the same play in the media that gruesome acts of terror do. Stereotypes and hate dissipate with knowledge and communication. As the world gets smaller and more dangerous through technological advances, there is not a congregation in America that couldn’t benefit from these Circles of Grace conversations. The rest of the schedule is: March 11: Rev. Lawrence Keeler on “Racism and Prejudice”; March 18: Lucy Mendoza, a Peru native, on “The Hispanic Experience in America”; March 25: Rev. Larry Whatley on “The Black Experience in America”. All events are at Rossford United Methodist Church and start at 7 p.m. If you go, enter the double doors accessed from the parking lot at 270 Dixie Highway. Reservations are not needed.

Unattained goals can stem from a variety of reasons Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden
“
It’s impossible to be passionate about a goal you didn’t pick.
“
Too many people who actually set goals often fail to attain them. In this column, I will identify some of the predominant reasons this happens. Recognizing the pitfalls of goal achievement enables you to chart a successful course to realizing your dreams. You don’t believe it’s possible to attain your goal. If you don’t believe you can do it, you won’t. Your brain is programmed by your thoughts. When you instruct your mind that your goal is impossible, you will not reach it. You must first believe you can and will achieve your goal before you can do so. You don’t believe you deserve your goal. Your mind subconsciously sabotages attaining anything you feel is not deserved. Any guilt about being successful causes this derailing. Fears of success include the possibility of being criticized, ostracized, or ridiculed by those who have not attained the same goal. You must believe you do deserve your goal before you can achieve it. You listen to naysayers. These negative people always have a litany of reasons you can’t or won’t succeed. They share their opinions with conviction. Listening to them is discouraging, filling you with doubt. If you believe their drivel, you’ll abandon your goal. You have a goal that is not yours.
Setting a goal based on someone else’s expectations sabotages success from the outset. It’s impossible to be passionate about a goal you didn’t pick. Even if you do achieve a goal imposed by someone else, it brings little, if any satisfaction. Your goal must be your own. You have a goal with no perceived val-

ue. When this is case, there is no incentive for the goal’s accomplishment. It’s impossible to motivate yourself to work toward an objective with no benefits. This issue is often linked to a goal which is not yours. Pick a goal that has clear value to you. You don’t have a plan to accomplish your goal. A goal without a plan is just a wish. Hoping to reach a goal without a plan is pointless. You must have a step by step plan detailing what needs to be done to attain your goal. Each step must also be small enough to be manageable. You don’t take action. Without action, nothing happens. You can have a burning desire along with a detailed plan, but unless you take action nothing will be accomplished. Successfully reaching your goal requires consistently taking one step after another until you arrive at your destination. You are not productive. Productivity is taking action which brings you closer to your goal. Activity is being busy without making forward progress or being involved in activities not goal related. Keep track of the progress made towards your goal. Eliminate unproductive activities. You give up. Setbacks are a normal part of reaching a goal. Failure is guaranteed only when you give up. Get right
back up whenever you stumble and fall. Learn from mistakes. Make adjustments as needed. Determination and persistence is essential for success. You don’t apply enough effort. A halfhearted try isn’t effective. Anything worthwhile takes effort. Without sufficient effort, you will give up at the first obstacle. Rather than trying to accomplish a goal, make a commitment to yourself that you will do whatever it takes to reach your destination. You tackle too many goals at once. Working on too many objectives simultaneously dilutes your effectiveness. Although having many goals is good, you need to prioritize the order in which you will accomplish them. Working on too much at once reduces your productivity. You can accomplish your goals. Avoid these pitfalls. Identify your goals, formulate a plan, and then take action. Drive, discipline, and determination are important keys to your success. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden. com or your bookstore.

11th Annual Stella Bertz Cheer For A Cure a success The 11th Annual Stella Bertz Cheer For A Cure was held at Genoa High School on Feb. 21. More than 90 squads from area schools as well as a school south of Columbus and one from near the Cleveland area attended the event. Cheer For A Cure is a yearly cheerleading, dance troupe competition started by Maria Maluchnik to honor the memory of her mother, Stella Bertz, who had been the cheerleading coach at Genoa High School for over a decade. Each year Eva Dayringer, of Fremont, who is Maluchnik’s aunt makes a blanket to be presented to someone in the community dealing with cancer in their lives. The blanket is specially created with the recipient’s personality and interests taken into consideration. As each knot is tied on the blanket, Mrs. Dayringer prays for the person receiving the blanket. This year’s recipient was 9-year-old Valorie Newton, of Walbridge, along with her mother, Diana was present to receive the blanket. The event continues to be an overwhelming success for many reasons, thanks to the dedication of the many volunteers who help each year. The day-long event raises money for cancer research and helps families dealing with cancer in their lives. This year’s event raised over $40,000. Learn more at CheerForACure.org.

Red Cross Month this March. Since 1943, every president has designated March as Red Cross Month – a time to recognize those who support the Red Cross. Local communities depend on the Red Cross, which relies on donations of time, money and blood to fulfill its humanitarian mission. It doesn’t take a cape or superpowers to be a hero. By donating blood, eligible donors can help save the lives of patients in need. Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations by organizing a blood drive, volunteering to assist with Red Cross activities, or creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive online at redcrossblood.org/SleevesUp and asking others to make a lifesaving donation. Upcoming blood donation opportunities include: Oregon – March 20, 1-6 p.m., Heritage Church, 1640 South Coy Rd. Gibsonburg – March 21, 8:30-1:30 p.m., Zion Lutheran Church, 500 S. Brentwood.

A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Preventing overdose deaths State Rep. Steve Kraus (R-Sandusky) applauded the passage of a bill through the House of Representatives that takes further steps to curtail the opiate drug epidemic in Ohio. House Bill 4 expands access to naloxone, a medication used to protect an individual experiencing an opioid-related drug overdose. Naloxone reverses the effects of opioids during an overdose, which can effectively shut down a person’s respiratory system. “I’m happy to support H.B. 4, which gives first responders another tool to save lives,” Kraus said. “The drug epidemic plaguing Ohio has taken many of our loved ones, and I think this bill is a step in the right direction in curbing the drug problem in our state.” As amended in committee, the legislation also now requires the Ohio Department of Health to create a model protocol for naloxone and gives it permission to sell the medication wholesale to law enforcement officials. Health departments will also have the ability to issue naloxone protocols through their medical director or health commissioner. House Bill 4 passed with bipartisan support on the House floor and it will now head to the Senate for further consideration.
Sober Living Home to become a reality in Ottawa County The nonprofit Light House Sober Living Inc. has found a location and is moving forward with plans to provide the Ottawa County community with a safe and secure home offering hope, healing and life to men in recovery. The effort began three years ago when a group of community leaders and concerned citizens were brought together, led by Judge Bruce Winters. The group was formed under the Leadership Ottawa
County program, with the goal of creating the first sober living community in the area. The nonprofit organization, comprised of an executive board advisory committees (all unpaid positions) and two (paid) employees, has purchased property located at 515 E. Fifth St. in Port Clinton, and plans are under way to open a Level 2 Recovery Residence later this spring. The house will be able to accommodate up to 10 male residents in recovery.
Prior to the opening of the home, Light House will continue to finalize members of the board and hire employees. The board, along with the advisory committee, will develop agency policies and procedures, create budgetary guidelines, oversee committees and vote on decisions pertaining to the operation of the agency. Funding for Light House Sober Living comes from two major sources — a match fund grant from the Ohio Department of
Mental Health and Addiction Services along with contributions from the Mental Health and Recovery Board of Erie and Ottawa Counties. The home will operate solely as a recovery home and will partner with existing community agencies to offer resources and a holistic approach to life and recovery. To learn more about Light House Sober Living, to volunteer or to make a donation, contact Judy Flood at lighthousesoberliving@gmail.com.

Social Security answers commonly asked questions Question: I’m gathering everything I’ll need to file my taxes this month. Do I have to pay taxes on Social Security benefits? Also, where can I get a replacement 1099? Answer: Some people who get Social Security must pay federal income taxes on their benefits. Still, no one pays taxes on more than 85 percent of their Social Security benefits. You must pay taxes on some portion of your benefits if you file an individual federal tax return and your combined income exceeds $25,000. If you file a joint return, you must pay taxes if you and your spouse have combined income of more than $32,000. If you are married and file a separate return, you probably will have to pay taxes on your benefits. You can read more about tax preparation in relation to Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/ planners/taxes.htm. Social Security benefits include monthly retirement, survivor, and disability benefits. They don’t include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, which are not taxable. You can also get a replacement 1099 or 1042S when you open your own personal “my Social Security account” at www.socialsecurity. gov/myaccount. Question: I know I shouldn’t carry my Social Security card with me, and I always
keep it in a safe place. Somehow, I lost it. How do I get a replacement card? Answer: As long as you know your Social Security number, you probably don’t need a replacement. For most purposes, your number is your card. If you do need to get a replacement, you can do so for free. Although you can’t apply for a card online, you can learn what identification documents you’ll need, and you can fill out the replacement card application at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber. Question: I’ve been planning my retirement throughout my career, and I’m finally nearing the age when I can stop working. What is the earliest age I can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits? Answer: You can receive Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. Keep in mind that if you retire at age 62, we’ll reduce your benefits by as much as 30 percent of what you’d get if you wait until your full retirement age. If you wait until your full retirement age (66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), you’ll get your full benefit. You can also wait until age 70 to start your benefits. Then, we’ll increase your benefit because you earned delayed retirement credits. When you’re ready to apply for retirement benefits, use our online retirement
application, the quickest, easiest, and most convenient way to apply. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/retireonline. Question: I want to make sure I have enough credits to receive Social Security retirement benefits when I need them. How can I get a record of my Social Security earnings? Answer: The best way for you to check whether you have earned enough credits (40 total, equaling 10 years of work) is to open a free “my Social Security account” at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to review your Social Security Statement any time you want. Once you create an account, you can: • Keep track of your earnings to make sure your benefit is calculated correctly. The amount of your payment is based on your lifetime earnings; • Get an estimate of your future benefits if you are still working; • Get a replacement 1099 or 1042S. • Get a letter with proof of your benefits if you currently receive them; and • Manage your benefits: • Change your address; and • Start or change your direct deposit.

ProMedica offers after hours nonemergency care It never fails – like clockwork, that earache or pesky cough seem to flare up just after dinner or on the weekend – when your family doctor is not available. For those times when you need to see a doctor but symptoms don’t warrant a trip to the emergency room, ProMedica has opened “AfterHours” at ProMedica Bay Park in Oregon. The medical office opened Feb. 16 in Suite 100 in the Professional Office Building, 2751 Bay Park Dr. Hours are weeknights from 6-11 p.m. at weekends from noon-7 p.m. Closed holidays. A second AfterHours, located in the ProMedica Perrysburg Medical Center, Suite 120, 1601 Brigham Dr., is open the same hours, 365 days a year. AfterHours is staffed by certified nurse practitioners who can diagnose conditions, perform physical assessments and prescribe medication. It is designed to serve as an extension of care provided by a family doctor, offering sameday treatment for minor illnesses including: • Ear, nose and throat infections; • Cough or fever; • Typical headaches; • Allergies; • Mild asthma attacks; • Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; • Bladder infections; • Rash or insect bites (without fever); • Pregnancy testing. Sports physicals and limited lab testing are also available. “Our aim is to be an extension of your family doctor when you need high-quality care for conditions such as flu, rashes and infections during non-traditional business hours,” said Cindy Edwards-Tuttle, certified nurse practitioner and vice president of advanced practice providers. AfterHours providers can connect electronically to ProMedica physicians, allowing them to access patients’ medical histories and medications. After office visit, the patient’s primary care provider will be contacted for necessary follow-up care. For those who are not patients of ProMedica Physicians, the clinic can send a courtesy notice regarding the visit to the patient’s primary care physician. AfterHours accepts most major health plans, including Paramount Health Care, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Medical Mutual of Ohio, UnitedHealthcare, and others. Patients are advised to check with their insurance provider to confirm that their insurance is accepted.) The co-pay is the same as any doctor’s office visit and can be paid with cash, check or credit card during the office visit. Walk-ins are welcome or call during the hours of operation to make an appointment. Call 419-690-7622 for information or to make an appointment.

gainful activity.” What is that? Answer: The term “substantial gainful activity,” or SGA, is used to describe a level of work activity and earnings. Work is “substantial” if it involves doing significant physical or mental activities or a combination of both. If you are working and earn more than a certain amount, we generally consider that you are engaging in substantial gainful activity. In this case, you wouldn’t be eligible for disability benefits. You can read more about how we define substantial gainful activity at www. socialsecurity.gov/OACT/COLA/sga.html. Question: My mother receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. She’ll be going to live with my sister next month. Does she have to report the move to Social Security? Answer: Yes, she should report any change in living arrangements to us within 10 days. Failure to report the change could result in an incorrect SSI payment that may have to be paid back. Also, we need her correct address so we can send her important correspondence about her SSI benefits. She can easily change her address by accessing her personal “my Social Security account” at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. She can also call Social Security at 1-800-7721213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

Along tourney trail, mental preparation key for Eagles By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com
Clay sophomore Nick Henneman has Central Catholic 113-pounder Josh Venia in a hold as the Eagle grappler wins a Three Rivers Athletic Conference title with a 3-2 victory. (Press photo by Scott Grau/TRACsports.org) “He’s just dominant,” Cubberly said. “He understands position like no other.” Henneman (34-9), who was a No. 1 seed at sectionals, is peaking at the right time, according to Cubberly. “He’s looking really good, really tough,” Cubberly said. “He’s a real physical wrestler. All three of his brothers wrestled at Clay and never went to state. Nick wants to be the first one to do it.” Anderson has compiled a 33-10 record as a freshman, while Mondragon is 34-10. “Garret never gets out of position and is just a solid, hard-nosed wrestler,” Cubberly said. “He’s a surprise for us. I knew he was good, but I didn’t know he was as good as he is. Calixtro is very, fast. He has fasttwitch muscles and is super quick and hard to defend.” Mondragon and LeVally, who both wrestled for the Eagles’ Green team last year, are taking advantage of their positions on the Gold team this season. LeVally (30-12) won the TRAC tournament as a No. 3 seed. “Lorenzo and Calixtro are just solid, hard-nosed wrestlers,” Cubberly said. “(LeVally) beat the No. 1 seed in the (sectional) finals, a kid from Waite who was
“
His strength is his experience...He overwhelms kids with his speed and quickness.
“
It seems highly unlikely, given where they are competing this weekend, but Clay’s wrestling team could have as many as 13 individuals competing at the state tournament March 12-14 at the Schottenstein Center Columbus. The Eagles advanced five wrestlers last year and took fourth place at the Division I tournament. They took eight wrestlers in coach Ralph Cubberly’s first year with the program (2010-11). This weekend, they competed in the meat grinder that is the D-I district tournament at Cleveland State University. Other participating teams include state powers such as Lakewood St. Edward, Wadsworth, Elyria and Brunswick. “This is a big one, a tough one,” Cubberly said. “It’s the toughest district in the state for Division I. All these kids are going to have obstacles to climb over. (Richie) Screptock, if things go right, will have to beat the kid he beat in the finals of the state meet last year, just to be a district champ.” Screptock, a senior 138-pounder who won last year’s state title at 132, was one of nine individual champions for the Eagles at last week’s sectional tournament at Clay. He and his 12 teammates who advanced will have a lot of work to do in the practice room this week, Cubberly said. “We will work on technique and mental preparation,” the coach said. “Things like finishing periods on top, scoring points at the end of periods, keeping pressure on kids and watching stalling calls. Those are things that win one-point matches, and there’s going to be a lot of them from here on out.” The Eagles claimed their eighth straight sectional crown a week ago, following their seventh straight conference title. Clay has never won a district title. Cubberly said he envisioned the Eagles garnering 9-10 individual sectional crowns last week. “We got the guys I thought would be champs,” he said. In addition to Screptock, the Eagles who advanced to districts after winning sectional titles are sophomore Nick Henneman at 113 pounds, freshman Garret Anderson (120), junior Calixtro Mondragon (132), junior Lorenzo LeVally (152), senior Andy Howard (160), junior Matt Stencel (195), senior Tyler Koester (220) and freshman Nick Daly (285). The other four Clay wrestlers who advanced are seniors Kevin Witt (182) and Mike Ummel (145), junior Hunter McNutt (170) and freshman Mason Jaquillard (106). Cubberly said Screptock (35-4) is wrestling better than at any time in his career. Screptock recorded three pins at the sectional tournament.
42-8.” Cubberly warned not to be fooled by Howard’s 27-15 record. “He’s been a wrestler since he was in like second grade,” Cubberly said. “He has a lot of losses, but he’s wrestled some pretty stiff competition throughout the season. He was second in the TRAC and was a sectional champion last year at 160. He’s been there before. Hopefully he can take the next step to state this year.”
Stencel (37-1) hasn’t lost since Clay’s second tournament of the season, at the Ironman Invitational, and that was by just one point. Stencel, a state runner-up at 182 last year, had three pins including one fall in eight seconds at sectionals. “He’s on fire,” Cubberly said. “He’s wrestling really well.” Koester (23-8) defended the sectional title he won last year, when he was one victory away from advancing to the state tournament. “He’s wrestling real well,” Cubberly said. “He had a pretty good kid in the (sectional) finals and wrestled well and beat the kid. He’s just solid and hard to score on, and he’s big and strong.” Daly (27-4), the freshman heavyweight, used the second-place finish he earned at the TRAC tournament to propel him to a sectional title. The somewhat undersized Daly weighed 243 pounds at sectionals. “He’s definitely a surprise,” Cubberly said. “His strength is his experience. He’s a freshman, but he’s been wresting since the first grade. He wrestles like a smaller kid. He overwhelms kids with his speed and quickness.”

Former local biddy wrestler an NCAA national qualifier By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Jacob “Jake” Henderson, an NCAA Division I wrestler at Old Dominion, is making noise at the national level in the 285 pound weight class. Henderson holds a 20-10 overall record, a 6-5 mark in dual action, and the redshirt senior a 70-49 career mark. He is ranked first on the team with 14 decisions, claimed third place at the Johnathan Kaloust Bearcat Open, second at the Wolfpack Open and eighth at the Midlands Championships. He was the No. 4 seed at the Mid-American Conference tournament held over the weekend at the University of Missouri, bringing in a 5-1 conference dual mark. Henderson has already qualified as one the MAC’s four wrestlers who will move on to the NCAA Division I championships because of his No. 22 ranking nationally on the NCAA RPI ratings system and No. 29 ranking by the NCAA coaches panel. One of his most profiled wins this season came when he took down No. 25 Jacob Aiken-Phillips (Cornell). He has four career wins over NCAA national qualifiers. Henderson, who learned the sport under the tutelage of the East Toledo Wrestling Club as a youth, is now ranked 28th in the nation and continues to advance. Plus, he shines in the classroom, maintaining a 3.65 GPA while majoring in exercise science. ETWC assistant coach Hector Ramirez remembers Henderson as a biddy wrestler. Henderson started there at age seven while attending Garfield Elementary. “Jake was a bigger wrestler for his age,” Ramirez said. “A very mild-mannered and a very astute wrestler, even then, one could see the potential. He was very coachable and did what was asked of him. His size put him in the heavier weights, even as a young wrestler. He was taught and drilled to shoot, even if that was not considered the norm for bigger wrestlers. “His dad, Dave, would take him to all the wrestling tournaments the club went to. He either won many of them or placed in nearly every one of them, even on the national level,” Ramirez continued.
Old Dominion wrestler Jacob Henderson (left) with East Toledo Wrestling Club assistant coach Hector Ramirez after Henderson and his team competed at Eastern Michigan University. In high school at Central Catholic under the tutelage of Coach Mitch Naufal, Henderson had success on and off the mat as well. He was a two-time state runner-up. Now a senior at Old Dominion, he’s repeating the same success there as well. Henderson has wrestled at 220 pounds during most of his college career, but made room for another teammate by bumping up to 285, even though he weighs just 237 pounds. “In wrestling, anytime you give up weight and size, it usually goes against you,” Ramirez said. “For Jake, he has handled it in stride. Because he is usually lighter, by weight, he makes it up by being more muscular and faster on his feet.”

Ramirez, Naufal, and Coach Gary Burgess, who runs the ETWC out of the Clay High School wrestling room, traveled to Ypsilanti, Michigan when Old Dominion took on Eastern Michigan in a MAC dual match. Under Coach Steve Martin, 19thranked Old Dominion defeated Eastern, 25-13. Martin said Henderson, whose win clinched the dual victory, wrestled “smart.” Henderson won the 285-pound bout after notching one takedown and a threepoint near-fall in the first period. With riding time, Henderson took down Gage Hutchinson by a 6-1 decision to give the Monarchs a 20-13 lead with just the 125-pound match to go.
“The dual meet was pretty much in favor of Old Dominion when Jake stepped onto the mat,” Ramirez said. “He immediately took a beautiful inside single and was awarded the takedown in the first period. “He rode his opponent out. He took him down again in the second and then the opponent escaped. Jake leading 4-1, he was down in the third (period) and escaped. He was in on him and almost took him down again. Almost turning him, the match ended with Jake taking a solid 6-1 win. He did it with great shots from a bigger wrestler.” The Monarchs are just one of two MAC schools ranked in the top-20 in the coaches poll, as Missouri (20-0) sits in second place. ODU is 12-4 in dual action overall and 5-1 in the MAC after defeating a perennial league power, Central Michigan, last week, 22-9. Henderson took down Adam Robinson by a 5-2 decision. “Henderson wrestled well on the top position, which is something we have been stressing with him all year long,” Martin said. “We are proud of the way our guys wrestled in a very hostile environment. We competed with a lot of energy, excitement and focus, which is what you have to do on day four of a road trip,” Martin continued. “It excites me as a coach to see our kids having fun. We have never beaten CMU at their place so we knew it would be a challenge. All 10 of our guys were in positions to win each of their matches.” The Monarchs have taken down then No. 10 Edinboro, No. 21 Kent State, No. 22 Purdue, No. 23 Bucknell and No. 25 Chattanooga. ODU’s four losses have come to schools that are ranked in the NWCA top20, as the Monarchs dropped matches to No. 2 Missouri, No. 9 Virginia Tech, No. 19 Wyoming and No. 25 NC State. Ramirez says Jake’s father told the ETWC coaches that Jake was “appreciative” when he saw them in Ypsilanti. “He could hear our encouraging words and said he was not going to lose,” Ramirez said. “No matter what, that evening was special for us, too. What a great young man he has turned out to be — an accomplished wrestler and scholar. Not bad for an east sider with strong east side ties.”

The Press Box Bowen, Henry named conference Player of the Year
BOYS BASKETBALL Team (League) Overall
By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Two local senior guards, Connor Bowen (Lake) and Ramiah Henry (Waite) were named Player of the Year by their respective leagues. Bowen, the Northern Buckeye Conference POY, is joined on the first team by Eastwood senior post Zach Jacoby, Genoa senior guard Luke Rightnowar and Lake senior guard Jared Rettig. Bowen averages 21 points, 7.4 assists, 5.1 steals and four rebounds, plus he is the all-time Lake career scoring leader with 1,445 points heading into the tournament. He also has over 600 assists and over 400 steals and holds nine school records. The Flyers shared the NBC title with Rossford. The Flyers and Bulldogs were both 13-1 in the league while Lake was 19-3 entering its sectional final contest against Rogers Friday. Local second team selections are Woodmore senior guards Grant Weis and Drew Lewandowski, Eastwood senior guard Noah Smith and Lake junior guard Brandyn Neal. Honorable mention picks are Lake junior guard Jake Rettig, Genoa senior post Noah Goodrich, and Eastwood senior post Tim Hoodlebrink. Henry is Waite’s only player recognized on the Toledo City League first team, but her teammates Alycia Matney and Letrecia Williams are honorable mention. Henry was selected as the conference’s top player even though Waite finished 1-20 overall and 1-9 in the conference. The 5-foot-7 Henry, a four-year varsity player, is also second team all-district. She averaged 19.2 points and 8.3 rebounds, shot 45 percent from two-point range and made 69 percent of her free throws. She also had 70 assists, six blocked shots and 86 steals. “Ramiah is a player who improved her game every year. She has done everything the coach has asked her to do without complaint. ‘Moose’ stays in the gym late and comes early to work on her and her teammates’ game,� Waite coach Manny May said. “Her focus is on improving every aspect of her game, as well as her teammates.

Eastwood junior Alyssa Decker made it back to the consolation finals in both of her swimming events she qualified for. She swam her personal best in the 200 IM and very close to her PR in 100 fly. She finished 15th in the IM (58.73) and 14th in the fly (2:12.3), but only two and a half seconds were spread between first place and 16th place in the fly. Decker scored a combined five points with her finishes. Decker credits her coach, Carolyn Strunk, who has been teaching her the sport since she was 7-years-old, with instilling confidence and training her to be ready for major events.

two grueling events, and was part of two Eastwood relay teams. “I trust in my coaches a lot in the aspect that physically they’ll get me ready and they’ll build up my endurance. Mentally, I have to refocus every time and tell myself that I’m not tired. This is it. I have to go after it, regardless. Back when I did USA Swimming and swam six events in one day, you’d be tired, but when you want something really bad, that’s what matters. “It’s not just physically, but mentally, too. They have taught me a lot on confidence and that, it’s not all physical, it’s some mental.� Decker, who also plays volleyball and runs track, has been instrumental in helping to build the school’s swim program, which saw two relay teams and two other swimmers, Bethany Nabors and Natalie Reidling, advance to districts. “It was great seeing the girls at sectionals drop even more time at districts. It was almost shocking, but in a good way,� Decker said. “After that, I think the girls thought, ‘I can’t wait to come back next year.’ That’s what we as captains were hoping for. Nothing’s better than seeing them do well and want to come back next year.� (— Press contributing writer Yaneek Smith)

It was estimated more than 1,900 attended the game at Fremont Ross. Coxon wrote that “McGuire’s leaping shot from the side� with 1:26 to play gave Gibsonburg a 54-52 lead, but the Pirates’ 6-7 center, Don Trumbull, who finished with 27 points, hit a lay-up with five seconds remaining to tie the game. In overtime, Trumbull and Russ Brown sank early free throws to put Grand Rapids up by two, but McGuire was awarded two free throws with 50 seconds remaining thanks to a deliberate foul whistled against the Pirates, making one. The Pirates tried to stall with a onepoint lead, but McGuire intercepted a pass and was fouled with 41 seconds remaining, and his free throw tied the game at 56. In the final minute, Arndt was fouled by Grand Rapids 6-5 forward Dick Heyman, and Arndt had the chance to make the winning free throw. “Arndt’s toss rattled the hoop as it settled between the iron braces and trickled down through the netting for a one-point lead for the Bears,� wrote Coxon.

1951-52 (24-4) Class B State Qualifiers ROSTER
NO. NAME
“
If this year’s undefeated and stateranked Gibsonburg boys’ basketball team wants to repeat what the 1952 Golden Bears did, they would have some lofty expectations to fill. To this day, it is the school’s deepest run in the tournament, and it was one that few expected. Media called Gibsonburg a “one-man show� led by 6-foot-3, 170 pound senior center Charles McGuire. And one-man show the Golden Bears were, because McGuire was one of the top scorers in the state. McGuire scored 29 points in leading the Golden Bears to a 44-41 victory over McComb before 6,200 fans in the Class B regional final at the then-Toledo University Field House. At 24-3, Gibsonburg was heading to Columbus for the state tournament under the guidance of Coach Robert E. Krotzer. Most of the starters are deceased, but Northwood resident Richard Posey was a 16-year-old junior forward on the team. He said he remembers the town going all out, with signs in windows and businesses closing down for the regional and state tournaments. “Before we went, there was excitement,� Posey said. “They were really hyped up because we won a big game in Fremont to go to state. That was the biggest game, and then at state, we were just all flat.� Gibsonburg residents Sam and Connie (Jurski) Gruner were at the state quarterfinal. Sam, a Gibsonburg grad, was in college, and his wife was one of three cheerleaders. Coach Krotzer was Connie’s uncle and starting guard Larry “Dutch� Arndt eventually married her cousin. “It was a blast,� Connie said. “We were scared to death — I mean, here are these country folks going to the big city and everything.� Gibsonburg’s small school state quarterfinal against Nelsonville tipped off at 3 p.m. on a Thursday at the Ohio State University gymnasium with the winner advancing to the state semi-finals at the Columbus Fairgrounds Coliseum. A capacity crowd of 2,556 showed up at OSU for the quarterfinal. Posey, who will turn 80-years-old on February 21, said McGuire, despite being smaller than other centers, could jump with any of them. Fremont News Messenger Sports Editor Al Coxon wrote “(McGuire) amazed the throng with his ‘suspension’ shot in sinking 14 goals. He fired at the hoop 25 times. However, other Bears weren’t clicking, although Larry (Dutch) Arndt turned in a stellar all-around performance.� Nelsonville used outside shooting and a fast break to take a 55-39 lead with 5:15 remaining. Gibsonburg superintendent A.N. Welter had given a motivational speech at halftime, and Gibsonburg finished on a 12-4 run, but it was too little, too late. The Athens County school won 59-51, gave Waynesburg (24-1) their first loss of the season, 45-43, in the semifinal, but the 23-4 Hounds fell in the championship to Lockland Wayne (28-4), 56-46. For Gibsonburg to get to state, they had to defeat defending Class B state champ Grand Rapids, 57-56, in the district final to advance to the regional. The win over the Pirates was the “big game� Posey refers to. Sportswriter Earl Snodgrass wrote that
GIBSONBURG
Tough regular season Gibsonburg’s only losses that year were to Waite and Fremont St. Joseph during the regular season and Fostoria St. Wendelin in the finals of the Protest Tournament — which includes parochial and exempted village schools with the top two teams qualifying for the district. Coach Krotzer was quoted as saying a difficult regular season schedule prepared the Golden Bears well for the tournament. A key win was when Gibsonburg broke a 34-34 tie after three quarters, outscoring Coach Doyce “Frenchy� Filiere’s TroyLuckey team, 14-7, over the final eight minutes as the Bears won on the Trojans’ floor, 48-41. McGuire scored 22. McGuire scored 29 as Gibsonburg defeated the host Fliers, 62-40, to win the Clyde Invitational holiday tournament. He scored 13 of Gibsonburg’s 15 third quarter points as the Bears pulled away. In a 77-53 road rout over Sandusky St. Mary, McGuire scored 37, and McGuire totaled 32 in a 63-45 win over Old Fort. However, the Golden Bears had trouble with host Woodville in the home school’s final game in an auditorium-gym built in 1921. Each team was whistled for 34 personal fouls, and Gibsonburg made just 16 of 41 free throws and the Woodville Warriors made 20 of 38. That’s a total of 79 free throws shot in one game. The two teams ended regulation in a 62-62 tie, but Gibsonburg dominated overtime to take home a 76-64 victory.

The Bears won a Sandusky Bay Conference co-championship when they defeated Lakeside, 51-50, without the services of McGuire down the wire. He fouled out with 3:30 remaining in regulation, and the Stonecrushers rallied after trailing by 10 to tie the game, 48-48, at the close of regulation. Gibsonburg sophomore guard Richard Shreffler scored the winning bucket. The Bears shared the league title with St. Joseph, both sporting a 6-1 league record. Joining McGuire on the All-SBC first team was Genoa’s 6-4 senior Fred Diekman, Arndt was second team, and Gibsonburg 5-10 sophomore forward Curtis Bowser and 5-10 senior forward William Brown were honorable mention. A scrapbook graciously provided by Brown’s family provides the information here and contains much more. Connie Gruner believes McGuire lives in the Detroit area today and 6-0 senior guard Roger Smith lives in Fremont. Posey said at a class reunion last year, 20 classmates showed up, and at least one who attended has passed away since. At least seven players on Gibsonburg’s team are known to be deceased, including Shreffler, Arndt, Brown, Curtis Bowser, 5-8 senior guard Arlen “Ernie� Spitnale, 5-6 senior forward Frank Cicanese and 5-10 sophomore guard Robert Bowser. Besides Connie Gruner, cheerleaders were Rita (Kirwen) Brown and the late Norma Hemminger.

Firm to invest $1.5 million in East Toledo Advanced Industrial Services, a commercial and industrial specialty contactor, has relocated from Northwood to 123 Oakdale Avenue in Toledo, according to Stacy Weber, public information officer for Paula Hicks-Hudson, mayor of the City of Toledo. The City of Toledo will provide the firm with $15,062 worth of incentives over a seven year term through its Toledo Expansion Incentives program. This program provides incentives to attract and grow businesses and create employment opportunities in the community. Advanced Industrial Services, a subsidiary of The Irex Contracting Group, a multinational contractor, provides expertise in thermal and acoustic insulation, specialized fabrication and sheet metal lagging of piping, ductwork, equipment and vessels. The firm also provides full service contracting in the areas of mechanical insulation, industrial and commercial coatings, asbestos and lead abatement, scaffolding, fire stopping, noise control, and certified energy assessments. The facility will be used as the company’s regional headquarters for multi union craft personnel working on industrial projects throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. The company will invest $1.5 million into its new facility and become fully operational by June. “The City is honored to be part of this project. The east side of Toledo has historically offered the community employment in the industrial sector, however over the past several decades there has been a pattern of disinvestment into this important part of our City. It is a strong sign for the economy of Toledo that these opportunities are coming back again,” stated Mayor Hicks-Hudson.
Workplace Helping facilitate this relocation was Stephanie Kuhlman and Dallas Paul of Industrial Developers, LTD and Lynette Reichle of Reichle Klein. Industrial Developers is a development company located in Northwood with projects throughout the United States. The company partnered with a group of local investors to purchase the Oakdale facility, which created the opportunity for the relocation of Advanced Industrial Services.

Sauder Village is seeking people to make handcrafted items for the new Heritage Shop. A fun-filled workday has been planned Tuesday, March 10 to provide an opportunity to help make items for the shop and have fellowship with others who like to be creative. “Our Heritage Shop features handmade exclusives made by friends of Sauder Village,” shared Kim Krieger, PR/Media Relations representative at Sauder Village. “This shop has been an excellent way for people to help support the mission of our non-profit organization – either by donating a handcrafted item or by making a purchase from the shop.” A variety of projects will be available for people to help with March 10 from 1-4 p.m. in the Village Café. The workday will give knitters an opportunity to make hats and headbands. Worsted weight yarn and a pattern will be available for people to use – just bring a size 8-17 inch circular needles and size 8 double pointed needles. Those who do not knit will also be able to participate in creative projects. All merchandise in the shop is handcrafted and donated. Donated items, which go through a juried selection process, have included quilted, carved, painted, knitted, crocheted, hooked, woven, mixed media or fashioned in some other traditional method. Modern interpretations of traditional crafts are welcome and encouraged. To attend or donate an item, contact Debbi Russell at 800-590-9755 or email drussell@saudervillage.org.
