Chief Stanton to fight By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Jerusalem Township Fire Chief Harold Stanton said he will vigorously defend himself at a hearing next week against charges that he allowed someone from outside the fire department to assist personnel on a fire call on February 23. “I’m being blamed for something I didn’t do,” said Stanton, who has been part-time fire chief since 2008. “There’s a serious lack of evidence.” Township trustees at a meeting on Tuesday, March 5, agreed to suspend Stanton for allegedly permitting an individual who is not a member of the fire department to actively participate on emergency calls. “This action is potentially dangerous to the individual, significantly increases the township’s potential liability and violates Ohio law,” trustees stated in a letter to Stanton dated March 5. The letter states that trustees had, on several occasions, discussed the matter with Stanton. “The trustees have repeatedly instructed you not to permit individuals to assist the fire department during emergency situations unless they have been lawfully appointed Jerusalem Township firefighters,” states the letter. “You have failed to follow the instructions of the township trustees. Your conduct and failure to follow instructions constitutes misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, and misconduct in the performance of your official duties as chief of the Jerusalem Township Fire Department.” The final straw for trustees came on Feb. 23, when Stanton and township firefighters responded to a call of a house fire on Clubhouse Boulevard. Jim Gray, a former Jerusalem Township firefighter, showed up to assist firefighters at the scene, according to Stanton. “I did not ask Gray to assist us,” said Stanton. He believes his suspension may be politically motivated, since Gray is the brother of former Trustee Joe Gray, with whom Trustee Joe Kiss was often at odds when both served on the board. “I have trouble with where this is coming from. I don’t understand the whole thing,” said Stanton. He said trustees have told him before

that individuals outside the department cannot assist in emergency calls. “I never invited him to fire scenes,” Stanton said of Gray. “He just showed up.” He said he had informed Gray in the past that trustees did not want him responding to calls. He said he thought the matter had been sufficiently addressed. But then Gray showed up at the house fire on Clubhouse Boulevard. Stanton said he did not see him. “We had a house going, fully involved, and I had a crew making entry into the building,” recalls Stanton. “As usual, with a volunteer fire department, out here in the sticks, we don’t have any hydrants or a ready water supply. So I’m concerned about water movement, resources coming on the scene, people doing their jobs, and making sure everyone is safe. Somewhere along the way, apparently, Gray supposedly pulled some hose behind me somewhere between two engines. How in the world could I police that? I’m one person. I can only do so many things at one time. So I’m giving orders and watching the safety of my firefighters on the scene so nobody ends up dead. Now I’m served with these papers, with no previous conversation about this - nobody called me to ask `Hey, did this happen?’ So now it all revolves around this hearing.” Stanton said he was disappointed that trustees held the March 5 meeting without notifying him of the pending charges. “I heard about it by accident. I showed up at the meeting, and I was notified that I was being suspended pending the hearing,” said Stanton. Kiss said Stanton’s suspension has nothing to do with his stormy relationship with former Trustee Joe Gray. “This is all about people not following instructions and liability,” said Kiss. “The other trustees also support the suspension. I can’t do it on my own. I’m looking out for the interests of my firemen and my township. It’s not a personal thing.” Lucas County assistant prosecutor John Borell, the township’s attorney, said the disciplinary process of township firefighters is governed by Ohio statute. “All township firefighters that require discipline or termination are entitled to a hearing at the next regular township meeting,” he said. Stanton may bring an attorney to the hearing, and also examine witnesses and answer charges against him, said Borell. “Then trustees make a decision. If Stanton disagrees with the decision, he can appeal it to the court of common pleas,” said Borell. Stanton said Gray is expected to show up at the hearing to support his claim he was unaware Gray was at the scene of the house fire. He said witnesses will also be there to back him up. “I don’t expect a favorable outcome. I would like the citizens to be there to hear the story. I want this out in the open,” said Stanton. “I’ve made mistakes before. If I had done it, I’d own up to it. I’m a big boy. But I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Birmingham

Finding roots in the city By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presswpublications.com When Dr. Christy Mesaros-Winckles and her husband, Andrew Winckles, a doctoral candidate, were looking for a home to buy, they knew just what they wanted…a sense of history and community. Last summer, they found just what they were looking for in the historic Birmingham district in East Toledo. Originally from Columbus, MesarosWinckles and her husband met while they were both students at Spring Arbor University, in Spring Arbor, Michigan. “We wanted a place to settle down and a place where we could both commute to different universities,” she explained. “My husband was originally from this area so it made sense for us.” The couple rented a home in Springfield Township for six years. MesarosWinckles completed her doctorate in Com-

munication Studies at Bowling Green State University. She is currently an assistant professor of English and communications at Sienna Heights University, in Adrian. Andrew completed his master’s degree in English at Eastern Michigan University and will complete his doctorate in English at Wayne State University in May. Although living in the suburbs was nice, it was also quite expensive for a young couple trying to pay off student loans. Mesaros-Winckles said both she and her husband yearned to own a home of their own in an area rich in history. “We told our realtor we wanted a home in either the Old West End or in Birmingham,” she said. “We both love history and we really wanted a sense of community. We had been going to the Birmingham Ethnic Festival for a few years and we always felt welcomed and at home in the area.” Of course, it didn’t hurt that both of them have Hungarian roots.

Young professionals find roots in the city Continued from front page

“

Look, you dream of owning a home and you can do it in a cost effective manner that allows you to not get into a hole you can’t dig out of.

“

“My great grandparents came from Hungary to Pennsylvania in the 20’s,” Mesaros-Winckles said. “My husband was born here, but his parents are with the Free Methodist Church and have been in Budapest, Hungary, for 10 years. Andrew went to an English speaking high school there.” Last fall, the couple closed on a home on Valentine Street. Demographically, the neighborhood is a healthy mix of both young and older people as well as blue collar and young professional workers. There are renters and proud home owners, which attracted them to the neighborhood. ‘There is a real sense of community here,” Mesaros-Winckles said. “When the weather is nice and if you sit on your porch everyone will come to talk to you. It was not that way in Springfield Township. Many people there were just very busy with their lives. Here, we have met so many nice people. I know most of my neighbors and many people who live on other streets around here. It is just a great place to live.” Mesaros-Winckles acknowledged there are a few issues in Birmingham, but, for the most part, she feels safe. “We have a security system, but you have to have that when you live in a city,” she said. “I feel safe in the neighborhood. There has been petty theft and some cars broken into, but everybody looks out for each other and we let people know what is going on. I am very impressed with the community organization and how people are trying to get the issues resolved.” The couple has jumped right in to help their adopted neighborhood. Mesaros-Winckles has joined the Birmingham Development Corporation and is a member of both the safety and housing committees. She is also interested in becoming involved with the community garden. “I feel a connection to Birmingham,” she said. “It is a nice community and it is a natural fit for us. It is not a wealthy area, but people do take care of their homes. When we were looking for homes on our street, we noticed every home that is occupied had flowers out. There is a lot of pride in

the neighborhood and people try to make it look nice. “ Mesaros-Winckles is so in love with the neighborhood that she is advising young couples looking to buy a home to look at Birmingham and at Toledo, in general. “The housing is really affordable and interest rates are low,” she said. “I encourage my friends to look in Toledo for homes. We wanted to be in the city and closer to the activities. Living here has allowed us to put money into other things like student loan debt. Look, you dream of owning a home and you can do it in a cost effective manner that allows you to not get into a hole you can’t dig out of.” Mesaros-Winckles said she is also hoping the city will offer incentives to those who would like to live in Toledo. “I would love to see the city have an incentive program for young professionals,” she said. “It would make a difference. There are cute homes in Toledo and there needs to be more awareness of it. The city spends a lot of time trying to get new business here, but you also need more people to move back in. Hopefully, word of mouth will get more people back into the city.”

Genoa council cuts village police budget The police budget took the biggest hit when Genoa Village Council scrutinized details of the proposed 2013 budget. An estimated $30,000 was taken out of the capital improvements fund. “We’re not going to have a new car this year,” said Administrator Kevin Gladden. The department will also transfer its computer system coverage back to Liberty Consulting, the firm that services the other village computer systems. The police department recently upgraded its technology and had used another company, Gladden explained. However, there have been some occasional service and Internet issues, he said. So members of the finance committee decided it was best for the police department to return to the fold with the other departments and cut that added expense. Police Chief Bob Bratton, who returned recently to work part-time after breaking his right ankle days after Christmas, said he worked out the changes with the administration. His budget is slightly more than $480,000. He said the department may have to nurse one particular cruiser along through the year. “We have low mileage but we have had some issues with it. With some good maintenance and God willing, we should be able to make it to next year,” Bratton said of the

vehicle. Bratton said he sacrificed the new car because he wanted to prevent cuts in the salary line items for now. “Cuts in the salaries hurt everybody,” the chief said. A review of the police and fire pension contributions also caused council to set some boundaries. “The committee decided to cap that at 10 percent,” Gladden said. The administrator said that the village matches employee contribution up to 10 percent. He said the current pension contribution figure is hovering somewhere now between 9 and 10 percent. “But from what they have said it could go up to about 11 percent here within the next three years,” Gladden said. Any amount above the cap will then be

the employee’s responsibility. Discussions on raises are on hold for now. “The money has been built into the budget, but they won’t get into really talking about it until April,” Gladden explained. Employee raises don’t come from one central fund. So council set aside 3 percent in various funds such as the water, sewer, electric and general funds to cover staffers under the direction of the respective offices. But that percentage amount is not guaranteed, Gladden noted. Raises for council, the police chief and administrator are not part of that package. “I don’t know about any raises coming down the line for those right now. I am not aware of any negotiations taking place for them,” he added. Council had a public hearing to review the final budget at 7 p.m. Monday, prior to the regular council meeting. No one from the public showed. The second reading of the budget then took place during the regular meeting. The third and final reading is set for March 18. By Ohio law, council must pass the budget by March 31. Two major projects in the budget include Phase 6 of the Northwest Storm Sewer Project and Phase 2 of the Washington Street reconstruction project. The village’s share runs about $400,000 for both projects combined. State Issue 2 funds will pick up the remainder of the costs.

Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce presents Prism awards By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Area businesses, social service agencies, and schools were recognized Wednesday at the 20th annual Prism Awards ceremony sponsored by the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce. The General Excellence Award was presented to The Future Wave Salon, Navarre Avenue, Oregon, owned by Jodi and Lee Eckman, who’ve incorporated environmentally-friendly products and services into their business model. The salon collects blue jeans for Eco Erek to be used for insulation products and raise funds for Alliance for the Great Lakes. The Pioneer Award went to Marsh Funeral Homes, which has a long history of operating funeral homes in the villages of Luckey, Woodville, and Pemberville. Owned by Dave Marsh, the business was recently named an exclusive Veterans and Family Memorial Care Provider in Wood and Sandusky counties. Marsh also collects used phones for the Cell Phones for Soldiers program. The Horizon Award was won by Cancer Connection of Northwest Ohio, Toledo, which was founded in 2008 by Jean Schoen, who had a family member contract cancer. She told the crowd that Cancer Connection “…is an example of community helping community.” The agency partners with businesses and organizations to offer financial assistance, nutrition assessment, holistic therapies, temporary housing, and donated medical equipment for cancer patients. More than 350 families have been assisted. The Best Practice Award was presented to Cardinal Stritch High School for its Science. Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine Initiative, which is designed to prepare students for jobs of the future. The Rev. Eric Schild, principal of Stritch, drew the biggest laugh of the night when he joked about losing out two years ago to the Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Home, also in Oregon.

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) “Thank God, tonight Jesus loves us more,” he quipped. He also thanked the businesses that are partnering with the school in the initiative. “It’s awesome to have the support of Oregon and surrounding community,” he said. The Community Partner Award went to BP-Husky Refining, which is nearing 10 million man-hours of work without a lost time injury at its refinery on Cedar Point Road in Oregon. In addition to refinery employees, Alan Clink, project and turn around manager, thanked local contractors and workers of the building trades. The refinery also

provides more than $600,000 annually for charitable causes. The Community Improvement Award was presented to The Press. John Szozda, general manager, accepted the award and related the challenges of reporting on local government issues. Bill Myers, whose family has owned a farm in Oregon for more than a century, was presented a service award for a 100 Year Old Business. The farm has been utilizing windbreaks, no-till planting, and other conservation practices before they became popular. Roger Dodsworth, assistant director of

the East Toledo Family Center, received a standing ovation for being awarded Person of the Year. He is credited with rejuvenating youth and sports programs at the center, where he has worked for 29 years. He told the crowd of a time in his life when “I was down and out myself and looked to the family center for help.” “All it takes is people,” he said. “People helping people.” About 200 persons attended the awards ceremony held at the Sunrise Park & Banquet Center in Millbury. Chrys Peterson, a news anchor for WTOL TV, served as the master of ceremonies.

Gunfire disrupts the peace By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The crack of gunfire in some areas of Oregon has prompted residents to complain to the city. Oregon Councilman Mike Sheehy wants the city to revisit its laws regarding the discharge of guns in the city limits. Sheehy said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday that there have been complaints in the Starr Extension area. He said he spoke with Police Chief Mike Navarre on the matter. “The last time we addressed the discharge of guns in the city limits was way back before there was any housing around Eagles Landing and housing developments on Seaman Road. It would be interesting to revisit that topic,” said Sheehy. Administrator Mike Beasley said there are limits to how close a firearm can be discharged near a residence as well as other buildings in the city. “I’ve talked with some citizens on the issue you’ve raised. We have begun an effort to try and deal with it, with the existing laws as well,” said Beasley. “I don’t think we necessarily have to wait for the law to change to solve some of the problems referenced in those complaints.” Mayor Mike Seferian said guns cannot be used within 400 feet of a residence or subdivision. Some of the gunfire people are complaining about, he said, is not from hunting but from target practice. “It happens in my old neighborhood. I’ve actually spoken to those people who are shooting,” said Seferian. He said council should tread slowly because gun owners are sensitive about their right to own and use guns. “I remember when we had meetings about shooting and hunting. We had a very spirited crowd. Even if they are not the ones shooting them at the time, they sure love to have that right,” said Seferian. “It isn’t a topic we want to jump into quickly and start making changes with the way it was drafted. I think we’re already covered.” Seferian said he sympathizes with residents who endure the sound of target practice – “maybe an hour and a half straight.” “They may get away with that on the Fourth of July, and someone might mistake that as fireworks. The incidents that come up seem to be in certain areas and are isolated,” he said. He would prefer to talk to the gun owners “and let them know they could likely lose some of those rights if they don’t use common decency with whatever they’re shooting out there.” “We hope we can make success in that way,” said Seferian. “If we can’t, we’ll have to see what other steps we can take. I’ll stay in touch with the people involved and try and see that it doesn’t get out of hand.”

Gambling had its day along Woodville strip By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com This area east of the Maumee River is no stranger to casino gambling — legal and illegal. Las Vegas-style gambling came to East Toledo in 2012 in the form of the 290,000 square foot, $200 million Hollywood Casino Toledo on the banks of the Maumee River, which opened just after the Memorial Day holiday last year. Of course, that casino is legal with 33 percent of gross revenue going to taxes. Illegal gambling clubs here date back to Prohibition days and its unlikely any of the profits went toward taxes. Author Terry Shaffer describes its history in his 146-page book, Illegal Gambling Clubs of Toledo: The Chips, The Dice, The Places and Faces. In his research, Shaffer discovered Bon Aire Supper Club, Social Club 51, the El Rancho Ballroom, the Terminal Social Club, and Ted Stone’s Café — all located along the Woodville Road strip from East Toledo to as far east as present-day Millbury. His book goes city-wide in describing the culture surrounding Toledo’s infamous mobsters and lists 72 different illegal gambling operations dating back to the turn of the century. Included are detailed descriptions of the clubs from the dates of operation, the location, the owners and operators to the police raids that attempted to shut them down. “A lot of this research, the pictures, mug shots that are in there, came from the Toledo Police Museum. They had discovered the long lost mob files. They had three cases of files from the Licavolis (headed by mobster Thomas “Yonnie” Licavoli) to everything else and they had been missing for years.” “I just happened to stumble upon them when I went there to find out what I can for this book, and the director said, ‘Well Terry, I’ve got the missing files.’ I guess when they were putting the museum together they started digging into old places and gathering stuff together and the old files showed up, so I was the first researcher to have access to these.” Shaffer, a Toledo resident since 1966, is a graduate of the University of Toledo and a local business owner. He has spent the past 15 years researching and collecting vintage casino gambling chips and has become a popular luncheon speaker for civic organizations. Shaffer explains that the opening of the Hollywood Toledo Casino motivated him to get his book finished. “It forced my personal deadline,” Shaffer said. “I’ve been researching it out of a personal interest for a long time. It came out of a casino chip interest, and then I found a few illegal chips that belonged to a Toledo club and that really brought my interest forward and I started really collecting them. “Because of my chip interest, I started researching the history and who the people were that were involved. From my own collection I wanted to find out the bottom line — who really ran these, when were they operating.” Woodville Road strip In his research, Shaffer discovered The Bon Aire Supper Club, 2188 Woodville Road, which was owned by Joseph Urbaytis and Edward “Big Edge” Wojnarowski, alias

We know the location today as the Woodville Army/Navy Surplus Store, but the Bon Aire building is gone. Jimmy Dugan took over in 1946 and changed its name to Terminal Social Club (aka Dugan’s). The craps table attendant at first was Stanley “Jerry” Marinski and then Dugan in 1946. Games at the Bon Aire included craps and poker, but it all came to an end after a raid and murder in November, 1951. Urbaytis (1900-46), best known as leader of the gang that pulled off the great million dollar Toledo Post Office robbery of 1921 at the age of 21, was murdered on November 5, 1946 by ex-con Frank Burns. The gun used by Burns was formerly owned by Detective Captain George Timiney and had been reported stolen in June 1946, five months before the Urbaytis shooting. In the 1921 post office robbery, Urbaytis and 12 others were convicted of Toledo’s largest and most historic heist, writes Shaffer. Urbaytis was sentenced to 60 years, but escaped twice. After his second escape, he was sent to Alcatraz. His sentence was reduced to 25 years after a successful appeal addressing the judge’s excessive 60-year sentence. After his release in 1943, he opened the nonlicensed Bon Aire club on Woodville Road just outside Toledo. Social Club 51 was located at 221 Mary Avenue in the Northwood area, just off Woodville Road and was owned by Joseph Yappallo (alias Joe Yap) and William Kelly, and also involved in operations were Joseph Lerous and Herbert Tarsha. It opened in 1964 with blackjack and poker tables, opening at 2:30 a.m. and closing between 7 and 8 a.m. Big money nights were Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Shaffer writes. Club 51 closed after a raid on January 23, 1965. According to Shaffer’s book, the police chief knew about the club since October, 1964, but held off conducting the raid until he had enough evidence.

“There were approximately 60 gamblers playing poker and blackjack present at the time of the raid,” Shaffer writes. “The entrance door was equipped with two-way glass for use by the door tender. On the night of the raid, the door tender was Joe Yap.” In Wood County The El Rancho, 1460 Woodville Road, was located three miles east of the city limits near Millbury. The original gambling building was destroyed by fire. After its gambling days, the location later became the Sun Oil Recreation Center and was outfitted with baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a swimming pool and camping and picnic areas. Its short life as gambling club began on November 9, 1944 by owners Ed Warnke, R.E. Rhinehart and members of the Academy Club. It closed just four days later after being raided. “They were pretty sharp out there. The sheriff’s department didn’t let them go too long,” Shaffer said. Games included craps, blackjack, and horse racing. The gambling house was to never close, including Sundays, and had free 10 minute taxi shuttle service every few minutes from two cigar stores on 210 and 625 St. Clair Street in downtown Toledo. The tip-off to the Wood County Sheriff’s Department came from a competing club called the Forest Park Club just three miles down the street. Another east side club mentioned in Shaffer’s book is Ted Stone’s Café, 2172 Woodville Road, owned by Ted Stone and operated by Benny Aronoff. Aronoff had moved his Buckeye Club operations out to the café for a short time in 1936 while the heat was on in downtown Toledo.

Oregon eyes flood relief, erosion control contracts By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon city council on Monday will consider purchasing properties and awarding contracts as part of the flood relief and erosion control project. The city wants to buy four acres of property at Bay Shore and Wynn roads from First Energy for $51,646.50, or $12,658 per acre, Public Service Director Paul Roman said at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday. The city also wants to purchase 24.4 acres of properties between Lallendorf and Cedar Point roads from Toledo Edison for $293,088, or $12,000 per acre, and a four acre temporary construction easement for $9,581. Council will also consider awarding a contract to Miller Bros. Construction, from Archbold, to furnish labor, materials and equipment for the project. “They are the lowest and best bid received,” said Roman. “Miller Brothers is an excellent company. They were one of the first contractors to be prequalified ever

since we implemented the lowest and best bid [program]. The bids were very competitive.” Council will also consider awarding Poggemeyer Design Group, Bowling Green, a $35,959 contract for professional engineering services during construction of the project. The city will receive a $900,000 Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) grant and a $900,000 OPWC loan with zero percent interest to finance the project. The city and BP Husky, a project partner, will pay the balance of the $5 million project. “As of right now, our estimated cost is around $2.2 million,” said Roman. The project is included in the city’s 2013 budget. The flood relief and erosion control project, which will assist residents with drainage issues, will be conducted in two phases and will relocate four watersheds to one drainage system out to the lake. “So far, things are going well. I am close to receiving the Army Corps of Engineers permit. I’ve been told it’s been moved up the ladder and it’s close,” said Roman. Councilwoman Sandy Bihn asked Ro-

man if there would be traffic issues during construction of the project. “The project is literally a 15 month project. It will start in April and finish in June of 2014,” said Roman. “It’s clear that Bay Shore cannot be closed at the same time as Cedar Point and vice versa. Both will be used as a detour route for the other throughout the project.” “When you say close Bay Shore Road, that means blocking off the fire station from those of us that live there. That is a huge problem,” said Bihn. “We limit the time that something is closed,” said Roman. “Sometimes the physical closure itself is two weeks. We work with the fire department on every project to make sure they are very well aware of what we’re doing and that they have a path through that area wherever we can provide one. We have done this before. The Bay Shore Road Bridge was replaced over Otter Creek and it did go very well. That was in between the fire station and the other end of Bay Shore Road.” “It’s a constant concern,” said Bihn, “because it does increase the time of response considerably.”

Commissioners approve sales tax in Ottawa County

“

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press

This isn’t going to give a big boost but we will be able to maintain.

“

The Ottawa County Commissioners have renewed an additional 0.25 percent sales tax and are now hoping it sticks. The board held two public meetings prior to approving the additional sales tax on Feb. 28. The addition leaves the current collection at 6.75 percent locally. That means the sales tax would cost a person 25 cents per $100 spent in goods and services purchases, excluding groceries and fuel. The resolution becomes official 30 days afterward. Collection begins July 1. And therein is the hitch. The commissioners still don’t know if the state will end up squelching the sales tax’s enactment. Gov. John Kasich wants a ban on new sales taxes introduced by local goverments for three years. The state’s yearly fiscal budget ends June 30 and the new budget begins July 1. His proposal also includes a rollback of the state’s current 5.5 percent sales tax to 5 percent. At that same time, the governor proposes to broaden the amount of items subject to sales tax, which is being disputed by a number of organizations. “All the people we have talked to at the commissioners association aren’t sure what effect the state budget will have for sure on counties,” said Commissioner Jo Ellen Regal, president of the board of commissioners. One thing is sure. If the Kasich proposal goes through, it will nullify the commissioners’ decision. “This makes it really difficult,” Regal said. In exchange for the ban on new sales taxes, the proposed state budget includes a 10 percent guarantee of each county’s sales

tax for two years and 5 percent for the third year. Commissioners first introduced the tax as an emergency three years ago to help a budget hit hard by a bad economy, decreasing house values and state aid cuts. The tax has brought in about $3 million over the course of its life, Dennis Jensen, county administrator, said. But there are two key differences in the newly approved tax. First, the new tax is continuing, or a permanent tax, compared to the three-year life of the first tax. Second, this resolution’s approval was not unanimous. Commissioners Steve Arndt and Jim Sass were among the board that approved the first tax. Regal replaced former commissioner Mark Stahl, who also sat on the board at the time of the first vote. But this time around, Arndt opposed the new tax. Regal and Sass voted yes. Arndt said he believes the permanent tax should be taken to a public vote. He said the sales tax had become a campaign issue and the issue of it becoming permanent came up again at public hearings. “People said if it was a temporary tax

Making a Difference

they did not have a problem. But if it was to be permanent, they wanted it to go to a vote,” Arndt said. He added the 2013 county budget has already been settled and that the bottom line took into account the possibility of the sales tax falling off the books. “We had time to wait to see how this all shakes out at the state and then re-evaluate it,” Arndt said. “And we don’t know what legal authority the state has to set sales tax for counties and other municipalities. That is something that is being looked at.” But Regal said taking the issue to the voters would have required the former commissioners’ board to act last year and put the tax question on the November 2012 ballot. Waiting now would cost up to $900,000 in new revenue, she said. Commissioners have been to several organizations to pitch their renewal plan. The county’s general fund has taken several hits, they say in a report: • Low interest rates – interest income is down 88 percent from 2007 • Jobs and Family Services funding is down $2.3 million (42 percent) from 2006 to 2012 and the number of employees are down 21 (36 percent) for the same period, while caseload has increased significantly. • Declining property values – property tax is second largest county revenue at 23 percent of total revenues • Increasing health insurance costs and regulations The state has also chiseled away at funding by lopping off significant cash from funds such as public utility reimbursements, local government funds and tangible personal property taxes, Regal said.

eek: Don’t Put Your Trust in Things of this World

Young children seem to have the utmost trust in their parents. For instance, they know that whenever they are not feeling well, their parents are there to comfort them and do whatever is necessary to make them better. A parent's love is special, and it seems that there is nothing that they would not do for their children. As adults, we should remember that all things of this world are temporary and that there is nothing we can truly depend on or be absolutely sure of. A loved one passing away, or finances being low, or a serious illness could turn our world upside down in an instant. However, we should take heart; there is good news: we are God's children,

Oregon

and His love for us is even greater than that of our parents’. And although it takes enormous courage to put our complete trust in God, we must believe that He wants only what is good for us. What is required of us is to see God's work in everything we do, and develop perfect trust to accept the trials of his life. The first step in increasing our trust in God is to thank Him daily for His many blessings and to go to Him with our anxieties. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. N.I.V. Proverbs 3:5-6

Ottawa County Common Pleas Court Judge Bruce Winters said changes in felony cases reflect the state’s austerity measures. About 94 percent of those convicted in his court cannot be sent to state prisons anymore. So they either end up in the county jail or need to be monitored some other way – all costing the county dollars. The commissioners note that Ottawa County has the fourth lowest effective property rate of all 88 counties and that there are no levied mills supporting the general fund. Ottawa County’s sales tax is also competitive with the surrounding counties which range from 6.5 percent to 7 percent, the state allowed maximum, they said. “This isn’t going to give a big boost but we will be able to maintain,” Regal said of the extra quarter percent tax. She county officials will continue to look at any cost-saving measures and shared government programs to help reduce spending. Since 2009, the county has eliminated 27.5 full-time positions. Nonunion county employees under the commissioners’ office haven’t received raises in five years and the county’s Fraternal Order of Police union employees agreed to no pay raises for the last two years. Still, should things start to look up and the county has a good year and revenues increase, there’s always the option of possibly rolling back inside millage to lighten the load on taxpayers, she said. “I know people are skeptical. I know people get frustrated with county government, all government,” Regal said. “But we have a really good group of people here, department heads and staff, who want to keep expenses down and are working to do that.”

Unveiling Las Vegas-style venue in time for St. Patrick’s Day Iconic is the theme of Icons Eatery and Entertainment, Oregon’s newest addition to the local dining and entertainment scene. Pictures of gallery-framed film, sport, and otherwise known icons line the walls of this Las Vegas-style venue located on Navarre Ave. at the site of the recently closed Yeehas. Chad Munson, entertainment and marketing director, states that chefs Dan Griffin & Brad Cousino have worked with 5-star chefs around the country to bring the Toledo area the most “Iconic” cuisine possible without emptying out your wallet. Digitally personalized party booth areas and weekend performances – from DJs to upbeat party cover bands – are featured. Icons also offers catering for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, etc. General Manager Don Klatt states he will offer a variety of entertainment on weekdays from jazz and acoustic music to magic and karaoke. “We are very proud to say we offer the best of everything, at prices Toledo area residents can afford.” Icons opened their doors the end of January, after an interior overhaul of the Yeehas decor. After a few weeks of “working out the kinks” with the new staff, menus, sound system and computer system, Icons is celebrating March as its official grand opening month. Local Cumulus affiliate, Star 105.5 will co-sponsor an “Iconic St. Patrick’s” party, Saturday March 16th and Sunday March 17th, featuring the cover band, Hello My Name Is, from Columbus.

Resignations warranted

To the editor: When the Lake Township Trustees first became aware of the alleged incidents of Feb. 9 involving two firefighters and a police officer, the following action occurred. An investigation was started by the police chief and the deputy fire chief because it appeared at the time that the fire chief may have had some involvement in the alleged incidents. Trustee Ron Sims was advised not to be involved in any of the investigation and to recuse himself from any and all actions taken coming out of the investigations. The investigation was conducted following the procedures outlined by law and the rules and regulations of the Lake Township Fire Department. Once the pertinent facts were ascertained, the two firefighters were interviewed by the deputy fire chief, who outlined the issues to them. The township’s legal counsel interviewed the fire chief. The three were entitled under the law to due process; they instead chose to accept responsibility for their actions and tendered their resignations to the trustees for acceptance, which we did at a special meeting called by me Feb. 21. In regards to the secondary issue of the police officer involved, under the O.P.B.O contract, the police chief is responsible for any and all discipline under Section 14 of the contract and that issue has been handled by the police chief. I do believe that the former chief was an outstanding fire chief for the township and a true hero of June 5, 2010. The response of safety service personnel during the tornado was heroic and done following standard emergency protocols – the actions taken on Feb. 9 were not and therein lies the problem. Good deeds of the past do not justify complacency of the rules and regulations that govern societal behavior of the present. Medical standards and practices are vital and exist to protect everyone. Given the pertinent facts, serious action

Keep Saturday delivery To the editor: I read the Press Poll and found that 90 percent of your readers would be affected by no Saturday mail delivery. We need to let our Representatives and Senators know that we do value having Saturday delivery. I urge everyone to write to their district offices and ask their Representative to support HR 30 and Sen. Portman to support SB 316. Then write to Sen. Brown and thank him for being a co-sponsor of SB 316. These bills would protect six-day delivery and fix the immediate fiscal problems of the Post Office by ending the pre-funding of 75 years of future postal employees’ health benefits in 10 years. The Post Office services every address in the United States six days a week. It is affordable – in fact, the cheapest postage rate in the world and a universal service for all. We have heard, “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” Let’s not let the Post Office fade away. It is so nice to hear from a family member or friend in letter form. Remember looking forward to the birthday card from Grandma with $20 inside? I have been reading about concerns about the possibility of cyber attacks. I’ve read that some banks have spent millions shoring up their security because of compromises to their systems. What would we do if we had all our information deleted or stolen? The Post Office has everything in place to continue communication if that

were to happen. Please write today. Joyce Bower Gibsonburg

A regressive tax To the editor: Once again, our Republican governor is playing us for suckers. He is claiming to lower our income tax so he can give big breaks to the companies and make us pay for it. Remember when Robert Taft gave big tax breaks to the companies which were supposed to bring many jobs? It never happened. Now our Republican governor is making the same claims. Sales tax is one of the most regressive taxes; it puts the whole burden of running government on the people and relieves the rich and corporations. It is really a big tax hike for the people and another giveaway to the companies. If you didn’t notice, we had five bond issues this last time because funding was cut from schools and mental health. This will take even more money out of the economy and give people less to spend. Already, our cash-strapped schools are bracing for more cuts under the guise of running more efficiently. Albert Kapustar Oregon

A ridiculous point

To the editor: The incident at Clay High School on Feb. 1 has reached a ridiculous point when P.J. Kapfhammer is require to appear in court. He deserves thanks for being aware of the safety of student athletes in requesting the identity of a man, unknown to him, wandering among them. Fault lies with Mr. Brachowski for turning his head away when questioned about his presence. It seems that he is mistaking a privilege as entitlement. His

mother’s overreaction to this easily-explained situation and the increasing persecution of Kapfhammer can only reinforce his attitude. Hopefully, the treatment of Kapfhammer will not deter others from being aware of potential dangers to young people and taking action when necessary. It is preferable to risk upsetting someone rather than to feel the guilt of not preventing a tragedy. Joyce Shelley Oregon

A hasty decision

To the editor: I would like to say kudos to Donald Shaffer on his letter to the editor, “Lighten up.” I too think the Lake Township Trustees made too fast of a decision in accepting the resignations of the Lake Township firefighters and the fire chief. The years, dedication and hard work the three have given to the township should have made their decision less excessive. I have been a lifelong resident of Lake Township and know the honor and dedication our volunteers give to our township. That’s what makes our fire department one of the best around. Not only did the trustees not protect Lake Township, Millbury and the fire department by accepting those resignations, they weakened them. Tim Schwamberger Lake Township

You can adjust your outlook to overcome circumstances Dare to Live Your outlook determines your mood as well as what you attract. Two people can face the exact same circumstances and yet one may be happy while the other is consistently upset. Their outlook is what makes the difference. You can test your outlook by getting in touch with your emotional state. How do you feel most of the time? Do you tend to be happy and upbeat or are you usually stressed and frustrated? Do you find solutions for the problems you encounter or do you find problems everywhere you look? Your outlook affects your perception which in turn defines your reality. If you want to improve how you feel and how you deal with your life, you have to conduct an honest self-assessment and then make any necessary adjustments. Making excuses for your situation inhibits you from taking corrective action. Regardless of what has happened to you or why, it’s your response that determines your future. Learn from the past and then determine where you want to go from where you are now. You can’t control other people but you do have total control over your outlook. Thinking like a victim works against you as well. People with a victim mentality believe they have no control over their life. They are convinced that all they can do is wait for circumstances to change. This leads to constant stress, frustration, and disappointment.

by Bryan Golden

The first adjustment to make to your outlook is the recognition of the power you have over your life’s direction. This step precedes any positive changes. Eliminate all excuses. End the victim mentality. Look in the mirror to see who is in control. Adjusting your outlook doesn’t involve changing anyone else’s. Trying to control or change another person is a futile endeavor as well as a source of great stress. All you have control over is your own outlook. There will always be people you don’t agree with, who treat you poorly, and who are rude and inconsiderate. Regardless of their behavior, you determine your outlook. You don’t want to give others the power to control your emotions. Getting physically or emotionally sick over other people’s behavior is a waste. They won’t change and you will suffer. Circumstances fall into two basic categories: those situations you can influence and those you have no control over. Accurately determining which category you are dealing with is important. You want to

take the appropriate action for situations you can influence and let go of those you have no control over. Doing the opposite is characteristic of people with a negative outlook. They put their energy into worrying about things they have no control over while ignoring those things they do have control over. This leads to a fixation on problems while ignoring all of the good things one should be thankful for. These people can have 10 positive events and one problem and they will fixate on the problem. They get so stuck that they don’t enjoy the good things that happen. Here are some tips for adjusting to a positive outlook. Take responsibility for your life. Appreciate all of your blessings. Constantly maintain an attitude of gratitude. Recognize that every problem has a solution. Take action for any situation you can influence. Let go of circumstances outside your control. Make a commitment to always make the best of whatever you encounter. Adjusting your outlook doesn’t take a lot of effort. Ironically, it requires less energy to remain positive than to be constantly upset. Your world is what you make it. Adjust your outlook so you appreciate all of the good surrounding you.

The Press

Governor’s sales tax proposal would limit your right to know “I’ll give you my newspaper when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.” The above paraphrase of a quote from the National Rifle Association should generate more passion than its more famous version which starts “I’ll give you my gun…” If you value democracy, you should be concerned about Gov. John Kasich’s latest move to stifle the watchdog that warns you of attempts to increase your taxes and curb your Constitutional rights. This latest attempt comes in the guise of balancing the state budget by taxing services to replace diminishing revenues from other sources. Gov. Kasich proposes a new tax on 81 services including hair care, funerals, cable-television, movie rentals, billiards, bowling, sports tickets and advertising. Advertising—the life blood of a newspaper, your watchdog. The Governor says this new revenue will allow him to cut the state sales tax from 5.5 percent to 5 percent and reduce income taxes. Most experts say the plan will benefit the rich and give little relief to the poor. According to Policy Matters Ohio, the top one percent of Ohioans will receive an average tax cut of $10,369, but those making between $33,000 and $51,000 will see an annual average increase of $8. Most of you know about the plan. The news media has covered it extensively. You have until June to contact your state representative, write letters to the editor or

good business model and some advertisers leave when they don’t like what the press reports, reducing our revenue. Fulfilling our First Amendment obligation is what makes us different from other businesses and bolsters the case to keep our current sales tax exemption. This is Gov. Kasich’s second attempt to constrain a newspaper’s ability to do its job for you. Two years ago, he wanted to change the requirements for legal notices. He proposed governments could meet their obligation by simply uploading legal notices on their websites and bypassing newspapers. When is the last time you surfed a government website? While this measure was supposed to save local governments money and the sales tax measure is designed to increase government revenue, both impact a newspaper’s ability to do its job. The Great Recession had a negative impact on all business, including newspapers. The Governor now wants us to either absorb the sales tax increase in our costs, or pass it on to our advertisers. A five percent rate increase to our clients would be unprecedented in such tough times. Most would respond by cutting advertising, services, or jobs. If newspapers absorb the increase, we would cut jobs, many of them in the newsroom. That’s good news for some politicians who want to do your business in the shadows, but bad news for you. According

by John Szozda protest in the streets in an effort to change this. That’s democracy, a dialog between the people and those who govern them. But, what if you didn’t know? What if that connection between you and government didn’t exist? History shows people in power sometimes abuse it, or they just make mistakes. Here are three examples: Councilmen in Bell, California paid themselves $100,000 for part-time work before the media scrutinized their salary structure; The Chicago Tribune exposed faulty governmental regulation of toys, car seats and cribs which led to numerous recalls; and, closer to home, The Press examined the reasons why it took a life squad 28 minutes to respond to a man having difficulty breathing. The man died and the city changed its procedures to better protect its citizens. The media provides that connection between you and government. While a newspaper is a business, it also is obligated by the United States Constitution to be your watchdog on government. As such, the press occasionally makes people angry. Making people angry is not exactly a

to a survey of 58 Ohio newspapers conducted by the Ohio Newspaper Association (ONA), some 600 newspaper jobs would be lost. There are other troubling issues. Dennis Hetzel, executive director of the ONA, said, “It’s going to be a nightmare for national ad agencies to do business in a state as big and complicated as Ohio. Internet companies like Google and Amazon who don’t have a physical presence in Ohio will not be required to pay the tax. It’s a huge unlevel playing field with our Internet competitors.” Hetzel also said the additional cost for local business would have a negative effect on the social fabric of the community. “When was the last time Google sponsored a little league team in your community,” he asks. Three states—Arizona, Florida and Iowa—passed and then repealed advertising taxes after experiencing the negative impact on the local economy and the administrative nightmare it created. The Governor changed his position on public notices, even increasing the public’s right to know by extending the right to carry public notices to free newspapers, like The Press. He should find another way to balance the budget while protecting your right to public information. Comment at zoz@presspublications.com

Health Published second week of month.

Free classes aim to get participants from tubby to toned By Tammy Walro Press Staff Writer twalro@presspublications.com For Kelly Hanner, watching her father have a heart attack was a life-changing and defining moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was about three years ago,â&#x20AC;? she recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, he survived and is up and running today, but it was definitely an eye-opener for me about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.â&#x20AC;? Her dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health scare also inspired Kelly to pursue an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in nutrition from Owens Community College after graduating from Clay High School. The Oregon woman works as a health and fitness mentor online at www.tubbytotoned.com, in conjunction with beachbody. com program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I work with someone, I first take the time to learn about them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what their goals are, what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried in the past,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We then assess where they are now and work together to create a nutrition and exercise plan that will help them get where they want to be.â&#x20AC;? Hanner notes that support is a key ingredient to success in achieving health and fitness goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I host private Facebook groups online, which is especially beneficial for people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have a lot of support from family, friends, etc.,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great forum filled with people who are there motivating each other and holding each other accountable.â&#x20AC;? Kelly, along with her boyfriend

Paul Mayo Jr., of Woodville, and his young son, Keaston, at a recent Tubby2Toned ďŹ t club session.

Kevin Weber, also host a free weekly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tubby2Tonedâ&#x20AC;? fit club â&#x20AC;&#x201C; workout classes which meet Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church of Christ, 1213 Washington St., Genoa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something we feel very passionate about,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really wanted to do something that would bring community members together while at the same time inspiring them to be fit and healthy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started holding classes in our Oregon garage,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said, adding that plans to organize classes through Oregon Recreation Department didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to fruition. Then a mutual friend, Dave Miller, who is active at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, along with another church member pitched the idea to hold the classes there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pastor welcomed the idea with open arms,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. The word quickly spread through word of mouth and social media. Currently, the free classes, which are open to anyone in the community, draw about 20 â&#x20AC;&#x153;regulars.â&#x20AC;? The sessions typically include a variety of cardio routines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have men and women of all ages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my friend brought her almost 3-year-old son and he was joining in,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People seem to really enjoy themselves.â&#x20AC;? On March 17, Kelly will host a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Muscle Hustleâ&#x20AC;? event from 3-5 p.m. in the Lodge at Maumee Bay State Park. The free event is open to anyone in the community. For more information, visit www. tubbytoned.com or email Kelly at tubby2toned@me.com.

Red Cross Month encourages volunteer activity, blood donation For 132 years, the American Red Cross has helped individuals and families prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chances are, wherever you live or wherever you go, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to encounter someone whose life has been touched by Red Cross services,â&#x20AC;? said Tiffany Gradel, Marketing & Communications Program Manager for the American Red Cross Western Lake Erie Blood Services Region.

Healthy living class The event will include massages, wig trimming and make-up consultation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide newly diagnosed men and women with the peer support that they need,â&#x20AC;? said Gail Cooper, executive director of Baskets of Care. Since March 2011, the organization has distributed more than 550 Comfort Care Bags to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned through my journey with breast cancer that having peer support from others who shared a similar experience is gratifying,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said.

The Weston A. Price Foundation, Toledo Chapter, will offer a Healthy Living class entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protect Yourself Against Cancer with Foodâ&#x20AC;?

When preventative care isn’t really “preventative” With the ever-changing nature of our healthcare system, many things about our individual insurance coverage exist, which many of us may not be aware of. It would take more than just this article to cover all the intricacies, changes, twists and nuances of all the different types of health care coverage, so I’ll touch on just one topic for the time being – “preventative screenings.” So what is “preventative care?” Under the Affordable Care Act, if you have a new health insurance plan or insurance policy beginning on or after Sept. 23, a series of preventive services must be covered without your having to pay a co-payment or co-insurance or meet your deductible. This applies only when these services are delivered by a network provider. Many health care services are determined to be preventative, which means you may not have to pay for the qualified procedure, test or screening. Many of these services are age-driven. For example, individuals 50 years old and over would qualify for preventative colo-rectal screenings typically in the form of a colonoscopy. It sounds pretty straightforward, doesn’t it?

Well, maybe, maybe not. Let’s take a “hypothetical” case and see where this preventative care concept can go awry. An over-50-year-old gentleman is advised by his family physician that it is time for his preventative colonoscopy screening, either because it is his first, or because it has been 10 years since his last procedure. An appointment is scheduled with a provider and he is readied for the testing. When the appointment was made, the office personnel advised him, “You realize, sir, that if anything besides the colonoscopy is performed at that time, you may have financial liability.” Now that’s confusing. He was under the impression that this was “preventative” and would require no “out-of-pocket” expense on his part. He has his colonoscopy, and was in-

This article isn’t meant to be an indictment towards any health care provider, rather it is meant to be a wakeup call to all of us that we must become more aware, educated and in tune with our insurance coverage details, as well as pay better attention to our health care statements and bills and to question anything that doesn’t look right. Sure, billing errors definitely do occur, as do coding errors, but if you don’t have the awareness to make sure your bill reflects your obligations or lack thereof, you may be shelling out money unnecessarily, and the cost can be quite high.

formed that a “polyp” was found and biopsied. After being evaluated by a pathology lab, the results were negative. That said, he still believed this was preventative and should be covered under the listing of covered services – that is, until he receives the bill. What was supposed to be a preventative service has now become a $200-plus expense. Inquiries to his insurance provider reveal that it appeared that the procedure was ”coded” improperly by the performing provider’s billing staff, apparently by the lack of use of a specific “modifier” which would have paid the provider a little more than merely a preventative procedure, but would also have kept the procedure “preventative” in nature. An accidental billing error…maybe. Now, there are some services out there which may fall under the “preventative” heading and are not being covered, such as flu and shingles shots and this may well be due to plan coverage, so it’s imperative to check before undergoing preventative care services. It really is up to all of us to be more educated. We simply cannot rely on others to be correct all the time.

Students show their support By Devin Fisher Staff Writer, Window to Woodmore ‘14 Woodmore students raised $674.06 ($522.81 at the elementary and $151.25 at the high school) for the American Childhood Cancer Organization, just by wearing pajamas to school. On Feb. 15, students paid $1 to wear pajamas to school to show their support for children and families suffering from childhood cancer. This cause is especially important to students at Woodmore, as fourthgrader Connor Requena is currently battling leukemia. Leukemias, which are cancers of the bone marrow and blood, are the most common childhood cancers, according to the American Cancer Society. Treatments usually involve chemotherapy or radiation. Woodmore, along with many other schools nationally, participated in PJam-

min to show support and raise funds for childhood cancer research. Staff members even wore their PJ’s to work. Woodmore nurse Janet Wendt believes the school did a great thing by participating in this effort. “This is one way we can give support to a very beneficial organization,” said Wendt. As for Requena, who was diagnosed with leukemia last fall, things are going well in terms of fighting off the disease. He has been treated with chemotherapy and is responding well to treatments. According to Connor’s brother, Matt, the whole experience has opened his eyes a bit. “It made me think about cancer more and how it needs to be recognized in today’s world,” he said.

Other features of the app include: • Location-based NOAA tornado, severe thunderstorm and flood watch and warning alerts; • One touch “I’m safe” messaging that allows users to broadcast reassurance to family and friends via social media outlets that they are out of harm’s way; • Preloaded content that offers instant access to critical action steps, even without mobile connectivity; • A toolkit with flashlight, strobe light and audible alarm; • Locations of open Red Cross shelters. “If a tornado is threatening your area, listen for alerts and warnings, grab your emergency preparedness kit and head to your designated safe area,” Leggett added. “Be prepared to evacuate if necessary and have a communications plan in place with your family including an out-of-town contact.” The Tornado App, along with other apps, can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross or by going to redcross.org/mobileapps.

Red Cross app aids in bad weather On the heels of Severe Weather Week in Ohio, the American Red Cross is urging area households, schools and business to take steps to be prepared for possible severe weather, including rain, strong winds and possible tornados. “Listen to weather alerts and designate a safe space where people can gather for the duration of the storm,” said Beth Leggett, Ottawa County Director. “The area should be a basement, storm cellar or an interior room on the lowest floor away from windows.” The American Red Cross has also launched a free Tornado App, available in English or Spanish available for iPhone, iPad and Android smartphones and tablets. The app gives users instant access to local and real-time information so they know what to do before, during and after a tornado. It includes a high-pitched siren and “tornado warning” alert that signals when a NOAA tornado warning has been issued, a feature designed to help users make critical decisions and to take actions to help keep themselves and their loved ones safe even in the middle of the night. An “all clear” alert lets users know when a tornado warning has expired or has been cancelled.

Luke Cramer — state champion and area’s top wrestler By Yaneek Smith and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com With his first place finish at 170 pounds at the Division II state wrestling meet, Luke Cramer became the 22nd state wrestling champion in Oak Harbor’s school history. He joined the ranks of the school’s wrestling elite and is this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Most Outstanding Wrestler, which will earn him a plaque from the Oregon business. “It feels great,” Cramer said. “It’s everything I dreamed of. All year long, I’ve been working hard and doing everything right. And it was definitely nice having everybody saying congrats. I had a smile on my face all day.” None of this is a surprise to anyone. After finished fourth at 138 last year, it was Cramer’s hope that he would win a state title this time around. He not only achieved his goal, but did so in convincing fashion by soundly defeating every opponent along the way. By being put on top of the All-Press Wrestling Honor Roll, he heads a list of wrestlers chosen from 10 area schools. To be selected to the honor roll, a wrestler must win a league, sectional, or district championship or qualify for the state tournament. Cramer did more than qualify for state. It’s rare that things ever go according to plan, but that’s generally how this season has gone for Cramer. He was absolutely dominant at the state meet, winning one of his matches via the pin, and the other three by a combined score of 34-5. After defeating Eaton’s Tyler Claybaker by major decision, 12-0, in the first round, he pinned Matt Dennis of Uhrichsville Claymont in 3:36 before defeating St. Paris Graham’s Lane Thomas, 6-1, to advance to the finals. From there, Cramer took care of Clarksville Clinton-Massie’s Wyatt Running, winning by major decision, 16-4, to claim the title. “In the finals, Cramer would not disappoint. He came in and jumped out to a 4-2 lead after the first period and never looked back. All the offseason training, lifting and his knack for maintaining great position paid off,” the OH wrestling website stated. Cramer finished with an impeccable 42-5 record, won sectional and district titles and was the Sandusky Bay Conference champion. Cramer also won the SBC Duals, the Oak Harbor Invite, finished second at the Medina Invite, third at the Perrysburg Invite and eighth at the Iron Man Competition in Cuyahoga Falls, one of the nation’s premiere tournaments. In the district tournament, Cramer pinned his first two opponents before defeating reining state champion Chris Moore of Clyde, 6-0, in the semifinals, and Bryan’s Brock Nagel by technical fall, 17-2, to finish first. Along with Cramer’s victory at 170, Oak Harbor senior Jared Chambers came in fifth at 152 and sophomore T.J. Lawrence was eighth in the heavyweight division (285), leading the Rockets to a seventh

place finish in D-II with 44 points. Senior Alec Bowlick fell just short of placing at 132. “It was nice to see the guys come through in the pressure situations,” Rocket veteran coach George Bergman said. “It was a special time.” In addition to finishing seventh, the Rockets finished in the top five for the fifth consecutive season (2007-11), coming in third, second, fifth, second and third, respectively. Cramer says by winning the state title he was to “one-up” his brother, Jake, a 2011 Oak Harbor graduate who finished fifth at 140 in 2010 and second at 171 in ‘11, losing a heartbreaker, 5-4, in the finals. Luke credits Jake as well as their father, Jim, with helping him to instill confidence. Jake is currently a sophomore at Tiffin University and recently qualified for the NCAA D-II Championships. “My dad was probably the biggest influence on me,” Cramer said. “He definitely encouraged me. And my brother helped me out, too, working on some stuff. He probably knows more than me. After junior high, my brother and I would work out over the summer and we put our main focus on wrestling.” Cramer also credits Oak Harbor wrestlers from the past — guys like Alex Bergman, Tyler Hackworth, Konnor Witt and Ian Miller with coming back and helping current Rockets learn the tricks of the trade. “When Christmas break comes around,” Cramer said, “those guys come back and come into the wrestling room and help with the little things and wrestle and give me some different competition. To be able to have our wrestlers in the past years come back is important.” Coach Bergman, who in 20 years has won seven league titles and helped to build one of Ohio’s best wrestling programs, says Cramer brings leadership traits to the table. “He was our only state placer coming back last year and was our leader,” Bergman said. “He and Jared (Chambers) did a very nice job leading our team — 19 of our 25 guys were freshmen or sophomores. (Cramer) leads by example and he’s not afraid to verbalize it. He’s a great kid. “Luke had a nice offseason that set him up,” Bergman continued. “His offseason work was a big reason for his success. He paid the price (with the shoulder injury). He also competed at Super 32 (one of the nation’s biggest events) and went 3-2. “Beating Chris Moore at SBC Duals put the bulls-eye on him. He took it the right way and kept working. He was able to beat Moore at districts. We felt confident at state, but state titles are so tough to come by. Luke wrestled really well and took care of business. I think that, because of all the tournaments he’s been in during his life and the experience he had, he didn’t get tentative. He didn’t freeze up.” Cramer narrowed down his college choices to the University of Findlay, Ashland University and Kent State University and is planning on majoring in the medical field, possibly nursing.

Howard first team All-ACC By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com The No. 23/24-ranked Florida State women’s basketball had a league-high three players capture All-Atlantic Coast Conference first team honors, and among the three is junior forward Natasha Howard (Waite). Howard captures All-ACC honors for the third consecutive year. The Toledo native was named to the All-Freshman Team in 2011 as well as the All-ACC Third Team in 2012. Howard has registered 11 double-doubles this season and averaged 13.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 51 percent from the floor. “Natasha just does it all for us – rebounding, defending, scoring, you name it,” Florida State coach Sue Semrau said. “We’ve been able to count on her for a double-double nearly every night the past two years so it’s no surprise she’s received this honor.” She ranks fourth in the conference in blocks and also is among the top 15 in the league in scoring, rebounds, steals and field goal percentage. Howard had 18 points and ACC-best 18 rebounds at Georgia Tech in January and had 20-point games versus Miami and Stetson. Joining Howard are senior guards Alexa Deluzio and Leonor Rodriguez on the 10-member Blue Ribbon Panel first team. Three first-team award winners is an FSU record. “This season has been a true team effort so it’s fitting that four of our upperclassmen and leaders have earned these awards from the ACC,” Semrau said. “I’m so proud of each of them. After the season we had a year ago, this team was determined to right the ship and these four players led the charge.” The Seminoles finished fourth in the ACC for the ninth time since 2001 with an 11-7 mark in conference play and a 21-8 overall record. The ACC coaches also selected Deluzio and Rodriguez for the Head Coaches AllACC First Team, while Howard was named to the Coaches Second Team. The Sixth Player of the Year award was only voted on by the coaches. Rodriguez and Deluzio were named to ACC Women’s Basketball Digest’s Second Team All-ACC Team, while Howard picked up All-ACC Third Team honors from the publication as well as All-ACC Defensive Team honors.

Clay freshman earns first trip to state gymnastics By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay freshman Ashley Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking any time off after competing at last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state gymnastics meet in Hilliard. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a break despite a long, injury-plagued season and, better yet, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to take a day off. The 5-foot-9 Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal was right back in the gym two days after placing 31st out of 36 competitors in the balance beam event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love gymnastics, ever since I was little,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it since I was 6 years old. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of injuries to fight through but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always come back, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really determined.â&#x20AC;? Two years ago Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal broke her foot in five places when a golf cart she was riding in flipped over, forcing her to take a year off from gymnastics. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal suffered a concussion earlier this season after falling off a couch and hitting her head on a wall, and she suffered a hip flexor tear a little over a month ago that forced her to heavily wrap her hip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was close to full strength at one meet this year,â&#x20AC;? Clay coach Nick Distel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some meets she competed in two events; at districts she competed in all four, but the routines were watered down so we did not aggravate her injury.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal qualified to the state meet by placing fourth on the beam at the district meet, with a score of 9.125. The top five district placers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; out of 114 gymnasts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; advanced to last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state meet at Hilliard Bradley High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I did really well this year,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having all those injuries and coming back, definitely the biggest goal I had was coming back. I really wanted to do well at districts and qualify to states, and I was happy about that. I never thought I would make it on beam. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not one of my

Clay freshman state qualiďŹ er Ashley Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal on the balance beam favorite events. It was hard to get my skills back, but I worked through it and pushed through it. I made it to states and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy.â&#x20AC;? Clayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics team had competed

at the state meet the last two years, but this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eagles squad took fifth at the district meet. Only the top two teams advanced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were full of injuries,â&#x20AC;? Distel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost every meet we had a different line-

up due to injuries. I was proud of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. We were at full strength at one meet this season.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal admitted she was nervous competing at the state meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had butterflies,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Distel) was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hit your positions and do you your thing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was definitely amazing. When I got there I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;am I really at states?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem real until I got on the beam. I felt really honored being there. It was a great experience.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal took a tumble off the beam during her routine and finished with a score of 8.2, good for 31st place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little off on my roundoff, when you put hands on the beam and snap your feel down,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little off on the side of that and fell. I got back on and finished strong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to stay on, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to keep a good head when you fall off, to get back on and finish. It was devastaing falling off at states. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I wanted to do well the most.â&#x20AC;? Save for the fall off the beam, Distel said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal had a solid routine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how balance beam goes,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The smallest error can put you off the beam. If she stays on, she places in the top half, where I thought she would. With all her injuries and being a freshman, I was very proud of her to make it to state. I think it was a great experience and will only serve to help her in the future.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal said the floor routine is her favorite event, but that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop her from attempting to qualify to the state meet in the balance beam next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Falling off just makes me want to get back on and do the routine again,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It definitely motivates me, seeing all the other gymnasts. I just want to do my routines over and over and perfect them so I can come back stronger next year. Hopefully I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any more injuries, so I can do more than one event.â&#x20AC;?

Bergman, C.J. Magrum want Olympic wrestling back The International Olympic Committee recommended earlier this month that wrestling be removed as a event from the 2020 Summer Games. Local wrestling enthusiasts are not happy about it. The decision has created an uproar worldwide as people from the United States to Iran to Russia have spoken out against the thought of not having one of the modern Olympic’s original sports on the event list. The subject has been the topic of discussion in the U.S. for the past few weeks, gaining traction on a number of ESPN television programs and it has hit home in this wrestling-rich community, which has produced Olympic hopefuls J.D. Bergman and Shawn Contos. With all due respect to table tennis, synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics, wrestling has much more credibility when it comes to being a part of the Olympic Games. The sport itself is a microcosm of what makes athletics great — it’s about outworking your opponent, gaining leverage and outsmarting them, or as New York Times columnist Jere Longman put it, wrestling is about “one athlete trying to subdue another, not with equipment but with the fundamental use of the arms, upper body and legs.” Quite simply, wrestling embodies the traits that make raw, unadulterated competition, of which the Olympic Games are based, so real and authentic. Oak Harbor coach George Bergman, who in 20 years has built one of top programs in the state, says Olympic wrestling is important to the sport’s popularity. “The epitome of wrestling is the Olympic tournament,” Bergman said. “In basketball, it’s the NBA championship. A lot of these other sports, winning the gold medal is not the pinnacle of the sport but in wrestling it is. To take that away from

Ohio State wrestler C.J. Magrum (right) wrestling for the Buckeyes at a Big Ten match held at Oak Harbor High School this winter. (submitted photo) (the wrestlers), it’s a travesty. “If there are 300 great sports,” Bergman continued, “have them all. Why are we eliminating them? Why should we put a cap on good sports? If they’re all legitimate sports, put them in there. If they’re worthy, they should all be in. It’s kind of baffling. The Olympics are two weeks long — extend it for another day or two.” Bergman does, however, retain hope that the decision will be overturned. “If people get involved and the media is involved and there is an uproar maybe the right thing will happen,” Bergman said. And then there’s the history. Wrestling is one of the original nine sports that were part of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, a link that con-

nects and strengthens the bond between the past and the present. It is also considered to be one of the oldest competitive sports known to man, having appeared as early as the ancient Olympic Games in 708 B.C. In a recent interview with The Times, Cael Sanderson, the Penn State wrestling coach and a 2004 Olympic freestyle champion, says the bond between amateur wrestling and the Olympics is vital. “When you think of the Olympics,” Sanderson said, “you think of wrestling. It was a marquee event in ancient Greece and in the modern Games. After running, it was the next sport to be part of the Games. Like track and field, the Olympics are the highest level. With some sports, it’s just not as special.”

Cody “C.J.” Magrum, a 2008 Oak Harbor graduate who is currently one of Ohio State’s top wrestlers, was taken aback when he heard the news. “I was very shocked and disappointed when I heard about the decision,” Magrum said. “Hopefully, something will be done. I know there are petitions floating around and everyone on the social networks is talking about it. Every wrestling website is backing our sport and there is worldwide media attention on the subject.” Magrum noted that Columbus is the home to the Ohio Regional Training Center, a privately funded organization that helps to provide equipment and training facilities for Olympic hopefuls. J.D. Bergman, an Oak Harbor native, has trained at the center, making it part of his livelihood. On top of that, wrestling is a sport active in numerous countries and it has the ability to help bring people from different nations together through the spirit of competition. In fact, at the 2012 Games in London, 29 different countries won medals in the sport, a sign that wrestling carries with it popularity throughout the world. Sanderson summed it up best. “When you have your Super Bowl every four years,” he said, “if you take that away, that’s a scary thing.” There is a petition to reinstate Olympic wrestling at http://letskeepwrestling.com or join the email list at http://keepwrestlingintheolympics.com.

Turnpike bill rebuffed by local representatives By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com State legislators representing Lucas, Wood, Ottawa, and Sandusky counties expressed their opposition to House Bill 51, which renames the Ohio Turnpike Commission as the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commision and authorizes the commission to issue $1.5 billion in revenue bonds to fund infrastructure projects. Generally, the projects must involve public highways. State Representative Tim Brown (R - Bowling Green) said businesses and residents of northern Ohio would bear the brunt of paying the debt. “If this bill passes northern Ohio citizens and businesses and other users of the turnpike will be the ones saddled with this new debt and guaranteed increases in the tolls we pay for the next 30 years to address the needs we all share. It is a fairness issue for us.” he said prior to the vote by the

This Week in Government House of Representatives. Rep. Teresa Fedor (D - Toledo) questioned provisions that would channel revenue to this part of the state. “Despite promises to the contrary, there is no 90 percent turnpike guarantee that turnpike revenue will be used in northern Ohio and no cap on tolls,” said Rep. Fedor. Rep. Rex Damschroder (R – Fremont) said the bill contains many good features but it would create a “cash flow out of our area.” Rep. Chris Redfern (D – Catawba) also criticized the bill. All except Redfern, who is the chair-

man of the Ohio Democratic Party and didn’t vote on the bill, voted against it. It passed, 58-36, and was referred to the Senate.

Financial report Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko said a recent report by the state auditor indicates the village is doing a good job of managing its finances. Other than variances resulting from some amounts being allocated to the wrong line item, the report found no discrepancies. The variances have been corrected, the mayor said. He credited Patty Crawford, village fiscal officer, for doing “an exceptional job.” The report covered the years 2010 and 2011.

For less than $21 a week, you can reach them in The Press Expert Section.
