Reeves hurt attempting to break up fight

Job description didn’t include this By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A lot of things aren’t written into a high school athletic director’s job description. One of them is breaking up a “disagreement” in the stands between students and/or alleged adults. Terry Reeves, a lifelong Oregon resident who is in serving his fourth term on Oregon City Council, is in his fifth year as the athletic director at Bowsher. On Dec. 20, in the Rebels’ home boys basketball game against City League rival Scott, Reeves saw a ruckus in the stands in the third quarter and took action. “It was the last day of school before Christmas break,” Reeves recalled. “There were some people up in the stands who were let in a different door than they should have been and they went up on our side. I guess this happened at halftime. They started getting a little rowdy with some of our fans. They weren’t all kids. Nineteen

people were arrested and probably only four of them were kids.” Reeves, a former state-tournament wrestler who now weighs more than 300 pounds, was in the hallway and looked through the gym doors and saw what was happening. Terry Reeves There were eight security officers on hand, but Reeves took off anyway. “There were people rushing out of the stands onto the floor,” he said. “I made sure the teams were off the court, and the officials. I took off up the steps towards one of our kids and I got bumped into by a couple students who were tying to get away from the situation. They weren’t involved in the fight. I went down to my right knee and my left foot was about two steps ahead.” Reeves, 55, tore a quad muscle that, at

that moment, he said, “sounded just like a gun going off.” He was in a leg brace until recently and is still going to physical therapy. “The injury I had, the doctor said if I was an athlete it would be at least a year before I could get back on the playing field,” Reeves said. “It’s probably going to be a year and a half for me.” Athletics in his blood Reeves isn’t an athlete anymore, but he was. A good one, too. The 1977 Cardinal Stritch grad was a two-year starter in football with the Cardinals, as a center his sophomore and junior year and a starting offensive tackle as a senior. He was inducted into the Cardinal Stritch Hall of Fame in 2012 along with the rest of the Cardinals’ 1975 state playoff team, coached by Tom Greer. Reeves was a three-year letterman in wrestling and was a two-time state tournament qualifier, placing sixth at heavyContinued on page 2

Days after losing officer Jose Chavez to an act of violence, members of the Elmore Police Department were still trying to come to terms with the sudden death of the man known as Andy to friends and colleagues. “I don’t think the reality has set in around here yet,” Chief George Hayes said Wednesday. Hayes said he received a call at 3 a.m. notifying him of the shooting of the 26-year-old Chavez. Chavez was off duty and belatedly celebrating his birthday at a tavern March 9 in Fremont when he and two others were shot and killed during an altercation. With only four full-time and three parttime officers on the Elmore department’s roster, the impact of the loss of Chavez has been profound, the chief said. “He was an excellent officer with a good personality,” Hayes said. “He was a well liked individual.” A statement issued by Sgt. Jeffrey Harrison the day of the shooting describe Chavez as “an exemplary officer in good standing with the department.” Chavez lived in Woodville with his wife and two children. He was an auxiliary member of the Woodville Police Department and worked full-time with a private security firm in Toledo before joining the Elmore department as a full-time officer in January 2012. “He would have gone far,” Chief Hayes said. “He was well educated and very articulate.” The chief described Chavez as his “go-to man” for the funeral procession last October for former Elmore mayor Lowell Krumnow. “He was on the motor scooter and was able to get wherever we needed him to be for traffic control or crowd control. He got around a lot better on that thing than I could have,” Hayes said. Like many of the officers in the department, Chavez found conducting investigations of crimes an especially interesting part of his job, the chief said.

Continued from front page weight as a senior in 1977. He also lettered one year in track and field. Reeves graduated from the University of Toledo with a degree in special education, and taught for 14 years, including stints at East Toledo and East Broadway middle schools as a seventh grade special ed teacher. “I started coaching freshman football and wrestling in the fall of 1977 at Cardinal Stritch,” Reeves said. “Tom Greer gave me the opportunity. He wanted some people on staff and asked if I was interested. I coached 31 years of high school football and wrestling. Basically I wanted to be around the young men and try to help them succeed in the classroom, on the playing field and in life as well.” Reeves coached basketball at Start for three years before moving to coach Bowsher’s boys basketball team from 198894. He was also an assistant wrestling coach for the Rebels during that period. “After Bowsher, I got into teaching on the east side,” Reeves said. “A job opened up at Waite. My brother-in-law (Carmen Amenta) was the head coach at Waite and I was a football assistant for 12 or 13 years. I coached at Stritch for a year, then went to Rossford for three years. I was still coaching wrestling at Stritch when I was coaching football. “I decided to run for city council, so I couldn’t commit the time for high school football anymore. I became the head football coach at Eisenhower, then I got the AD job (at Bowsher).” Reeves said he enjoys his role as athletic director. “I love being around the kids and helping them out and giving them a positive experience at school, other than academics,” he said, adding that he misses coaching “tremendously.” “I love being outdoors,” said Reeves, who was a wrestling official for more than 25 years. “Football’s always been my first love. I wrestled because my parents (Jim and Carol) enjoyed it so much and I wanted to stay in shape for football. I miss coaching wrestling in the (practice) room, but I don’t miss the long (tournament) weekends.” Reeves was elected to Oregon city council in 2007 and won his fourth term last November. Reeves, who grew up on Coy Road and still resides in Oregon, said he ran for office because “I thought some things in the city weren’t going the correct way and I wanted to see if I could make a change, and I think I have.”

He said his background as an athlete and coach has been a benefit in his role as a councilman. “It gives you the ability to be able to listen to problems and solve situations before it gets too far out of hand,” Reeves said. “I’ve always said that I’ve spent my whole life defending people against bullies and things like that. I want to do what’s right and make sure people are happy with things going on with our (Oregon) sports programs and roads and what their taxes are spent on. If if doesn’t work out, it bothers me.” As councilman, Reeves serves as chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee and serves on both the Public Utilities & Environmental and Water & Sewer committees.

Monica, 22, and three grandsons. “My wife is a wonderful lady,” said Reeves, who wakes at 5 a.m. each morning and is one of the first school personnel to get to Bowsher every day. “We have never had an argument or a fight. Part of the reason, I think, is I’m never home enough.” Reeves said his job as athletic director is made much easier with the help of assistant athletic director Mike Jewell. Reeves said he sometimes doesn’t leave the school until after 11 p.m. if there is a home athletic event. “I could not do this job without Mike and his family, and my wife is so supportive,” Reeves said. “She comes to all the games, works the games for me, and that’s a lot of quality time I get to spend with her at games. Mike is a great guy to have on your staff.”

Oak Harbor

Tight finances are forcing Oak Harbor Village Council to consider possible elimination or reduction of the village’s income tax credit. Currently, the village collects a 1 percent income tax from village residents who live and work in the village. People who live in the village but work in communities where another tax is collected are exempt from the tax The income tax dates back to 1971 and, last year brought in a little more than $680,000, according to tax administrator Kim Mehlow. The village, however, continues to struggle to keep its finances in the black as major projects such as a combined overflow sewer system revamp and other utility line replacements loom. As a result, leaders are exploring a number of ways of increasing revenues to offset expenses. Councilman Don Douglas, head of the finance committee, has suggested it’s time council reconsider the income tax credit. That is, those residents now exempt from the tax could possibly be responsible for paying all or a portion of the tax. “I want to paint a clear picture,” Douglas said. He offered three possible options: Hiking the tax rate, eliminating the

tax credit or reducing the amount of the credit. Eliminating the tax credit completely would mean an additional $166,000 annually, fiscal officer Debbie Carpenter said. How many people a tax change would affect was not known. Councilman Jim Seaman isn’t opposed to a possible tax credit change, he said. “But,” he added, “We need to be diligent in making cuts before we put more burden on village residents. Last appropriations, we had no cuts.” “You’re right,” Douglas replied. “This year, the only thing we did was approve a $20,000 increase in health insurance costs.” Council entertains the final reading of the 2014 permanent appropriations at its March 17 meeting. The legislation calls for about $11 million in total appropriations, with $1.8 million for daily operations and salaries. To fend off budget problems for now, Carpenter and Interim administrator Randy Genzman scrutinize expense requests together on daily basis. “Randy has turned a lot of requests down,” Carpenter said. Village solicitor Jim Barney cautioned that any revisions would not provide immediate relief. Changes cannot be retroactive, he explained. He also noted he had

spoke to Mehlow regarding complications involved in trying to set up half year and quarter year collections. Realistically, Barney said, legislation changes passed this year would take effect in January 2015. Collections would begin in 2016. Council decided to hold off on a decision until more information can be collected. Seaman emphasized there was no reason to rush to a decision without weighing all the facts. “Even if we do it today, we don’t see any cash until 2016.” “Everything moves slow here,” Councilman Jon Fickert countered. “That’s nothing new.” Area landlord Adam Snyder asked if the village had considered annexing other properties to help bring more revenue into the village in a variety of ways. “It’s a consent issue,” Barney said. “The people have to want to be in the village.” Mayor Bill Eberle explained that annexations also had to involve parcels immediately adjacent to village corporation limits. “You can’t jump over a piece of land,” he added, noting some subdivision residents have expressed interest in the past.

Event to raise money for families

Andy Rakay’s bell to be rung for fallen firefighters By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com When longtime International Boxing Club president Andrew Rakay passed away after suffering a stroke at age 80 in 2010, IBC founder and best friend Harry Cummins, along with the rest of the gym’s family, honored their pal by retiring the sacred gold bell that Rakay used to keep time with during the gym’s many amateur boxing bouts. It will be displayed on an IBC wall for all to see and remember. However, on March 22, 2014 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., that carefully-preserved bell will be taken down and pressed into service one more time. Only on this occasion, it won’t be used to ring in the start of another boxing show, or to signal the end of a round, but instead to sound a traditional “last alarm� for fallen Toledo firefighters Stephan A. Machcinski and James A. Dickman, who were killed in the line of duty while battling an apartment fire near downtown Toledo on January 26. “That’s the way Andrew, a lifelong Toledo firefighter himself, and a giving man with a tireless passion for helping others, would’ve wanted it,� Cummins said. In the boxing world, a final 10-count is often done for boxers killed in the ring or for greats of the sport who have passed away. This time, the IBC will ring it for the firefighters as part of a fundraising event, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the late firefighters’ families. “I’ll be taking Andrew’s bell back down off the wall, and doing a final 10-count with it, and that will be Andrew’s way of performing a ‘last Alarm’ for his fellow fallen firefighters as he looks down on our event,� explains Cummins.

True-blue heroes Cummins, a boxing coach and promoter, calls call the late Private Machcinski and Private Dickman “true-blue Toledo heroes,� and adds that he’s always possessed a respect for the men and women of the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department and all that they’ve done and sacrificed throughout the TFD’s rich 177-year history. He says the respect was ingrained within him from all those years of proudly calling former TFD Captain Andrew Rakay “a brother and best friend.� “Andrew became a firefighter in 1960, and was actually one of the first firemen on

the scene of another tragic Toledo fire, the Anthony Wayne Trail fire, after a gasoline tanker turned over, and burst into flames near downtown Toledo,� shares Cummins. The infamous June 10, 1961 disaster on the trail saw four other Toledo firefighters lose their lives while fighting the historic blaze which destroyed nearby homes. It injured 80 people, at least 30 of whom were children, and choked downtown in thick, black smoke, all resulting from the violent explosion of nearly 8,000 gallons of gas. “Then, in ‘71, he became a captain, and later retired as a captain from Station No. 3 at Bush and Erie in ‘82,� Cummins said. “Throughout his career, Andrew served as president of the Firefighters Union, and was credited for fighting for better working conditions for Toledo firefighters. So, I think this is the way he would’ve wanted it. He brought his bell over to the gym from his retirement from the department, and used it during our amateur boxing bouts when he became our timekeeper. “From our IBC board members, to our young boxers, to our tutors over in the learning center, to our coaches, this will be the IBC’s way of donating our facility, and giving back to our fallen firefighters, and really all of the local firefighters for the selfless service they provide to our communities,� says Cummins. “I salute each and every one of them, and our hearts here at the gym go out to the families of our fallen heroes.� Since the founding of the fire department in Toledo in 1837, Toledo has lost 49 firefighters to active duty, with Pvt. Machcinski and Pvt. Dickman becoming the 48th and 49th losses while battling the Magnolia Street apartment blaze.

In addition to the symbolic “Last Alarm/Final 10-Count� ceremony, promoters are expecting surviving Toledo firefighting veterans and their families to be in attendance for the Andy Rakay day-long event, which will also feature active Toledo firefighters representing T-Town’s 18 station houses via a chili cook-off. Area artisans will be on hand to display their wares in an eclectic, 100-vendor craft show, as will country music radio station K100 and disc jockey Tony Acevedo of the Toledo-based DJ service, the Four Aces. In IBC fundraising style, there will also be a silent auction. The IBC is located at the old Fun Spot Roller Skating Rink, 525 Earlwood Ave., Oregon, just off Starr Ave.

Heat help deadline Residents seeking assistance to pay their winter heating bills have until April 15 to submit applications for assistance. The Winter Crisis Program (WCP) at WSOS, also known as the Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP), will continue to accept appointments until that time. WCP provides one-time assistance to income-eligible residents to help them maintain their heating source by paying some of their heating bills. These households receive up to $175 once per heating season to pay regulated utilities, $350 for wood, $450 for non-regulated utility companies and up to $750 for those who use propane and have less than 35 percent left in their tanks. The income limits this year to receive assistance through this program is 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, which is $5,026 for a household with one person and $10,303 for a four-person household in a 90-day period. Appointments are required to apply for assistance through EHEAP. To schedule an appointment, call 1-888441-4327.

Tylicki sees ‘world of good’ in supporting presidents Matthew Tylicki has led quite a life since he graduated from Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School. In fact, Tylicki did more things in a 20 year span than most people get to do in a lifetime. The 1986 graduate has been all over the world, spending time in the Mediterranean, Latin America, Europe, Asia and various places in the United States; even living on the island of Sicily for two years. And though he currently does advanced work for Lockheed Martin – one of the leading companies in the technology world – many people gravitate toward the fact he has worked for the White House Military Office, supporting the Office of the President of the United States for multiple years. And Tylicki is quick to credit the Navy for many of his accomplishments. “It never ceases to amaze me, the opportunities that the military gives you for leadership,” said Tylicki. “And for that point, leadership under pressure too. That’s one of the intangible things that you get out of the military. It is something that you won’t necessarily get on the outside.” During his time in the Navy, Tylicki was not only given the opportunity to travel the world, he also spent a lot of time being educated. Throughout his service, Tylicki spent more than three years in the classroom studying electronics with emphasis on satellite communications technology. And with every chance Tylicki was given to learn about technology, he never let the Navy down as he excelled as a student. Throughout his years in the military, Tylicki was consistently at the top of his class when it came to education. And his hard work in the classroom and work ethic in the field were rewarded consistently when it came time to choose assignments and where he wanted to apply his skills. Those two things also helped lead him to very unexpected places. “The military was very good about recognizing and rewarding hard work. Because of my record (evaluations, awards, and other documents that go into your permanent record ) I was, without my knowledge, selected for a group called the

Pat Nicholson, former president of the Toledo Lucas County Port Authority, is the keynote speaker for the 9th annual Lake Erie Conference to be held March 20 at Lourdes University Franciscan Center in Sylvania. Topics for the conference include the area’s drinking water, open lake dumping, invasive species, sediments, algae and the lake’s economic impact. The conference will run from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Other speakers and their topics are: • Ohio Senator Randy Gardner and Gail Hess, of the Ohio Lake Erie Commission, will discuss Lake Erie issues. • Kelly Frey, Ottawa County Sanitary Engineer, and Tim Murphy, of the City of Toledo Division of Environmental Services, will discuss water intake challenges. • Emily Collins, of the Pittsburg Law School, will discuss lessons learned from Chesapeake Bay. • Bill Myers, of the Lucas County Farm Bureau, will talk about agriculture and algae problems in the lake. • Stuart Larson, The Ohio State University, will discuss the walleye population. • Arnold Page, of the Army Corps of Engineers, will talk about dredging issues. • Sediment problems will be discussed by Mary Ann Evans, of the U.S. Geological Survey, and Meghan Price, of Environmental Consulting & Technology. • Jeff Ram, of Wayne State University, will discuss invasive species. Other topics to be covered include Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations and their impact on Lake Erie; the climate and the future of the lake and the marine trades. The conference is open to the public. Register at lakeeriewaterkeeper. org.

Matthew Tylicki White House Communications Agency (WHCA),” said Tylicki. “Their job is to provide the communications for the White House staff, the Secret Service and the President while he is on the road, away from the White House. I was also one of the lucky few to be assigned to the communications detachment at Camp David.” “That was an incredible job,” Tylicki went on to say. “I spent the first year wondering around just in awe that I was even there. It was just incredible.” During his time at Camp David, Tylicki supported numerous visits by Presidents Clinton and Bush (43) as well as many other foreign heads of state. “The high point of my tour was supporting the second Camp David Peace Accords held between Israel and the Palestinians in 2000.” Tylicki’s time working at WHCA was not easy though. He was constantly on the road, and Sept. 11, 2001 led to three straight months of work without a day off. But despite the long days he often put in, Tylicki had to make one last tour out to sea before retiring. That assignment also led to an experience of a lifetime. While on his final deployment, Tylicki’s ship, USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81), was the first to rescue a ship crew that had their ship overtaken by pirates off the coast of Somalia in 2006. It was the first of many

times the United States Navy would help out with such missions. Now, after spending 20 years in the Navy, Tylicki does work for Lockheed Martin. But while he may no longer be enlisted, he still is a huge supporter of the armed forces. He currently has a son who is planning to enlist and wants others – including students at Stritch and other catholic schools – to consider making the same move he made almost 30 years ago. “Especially for those who don’t feel they’re ready for college yet, or they don’t know how they are going to pay for it, or maybe they just want to get out and do something different while they are young, I think that the military is a really good path to follow,” said Tylicki. “For some people this may seem like an opposing view [Catholic education versus military career], personally I think, especially coming from a Catholic school, the values instilled at a Catholic school are very much aligned with the values that the military instills in their people.” Those values include: honor, personal courage, commitment, sacrifice, selfless service, respect, integrity, duty. “These are all values that any Christian will recognize,” said Tylicki. “And they are the same values that the military lives out every day.” (— story and photo from St. Kateri Catholic Schools)

Local jewelry artist honored with solo show in Maine Award-winning jewelry artist Amy Beeler, of Oregon, is the first jewelry artist to be honored with a solo exhibition at the University of Maine Museum of Art. The show opens April 3 and runs through June 7. The 21-piece exhibition, “Passion and Adornment,” features some of the most intense, innovative and visually dramatic work of Beeler’s career, she said. “What’s most intriguing is that Beeler encourages us to question the notion of jewelry and adornment,” said George Kinghorn, director of the University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor. “They are sculptures masquerading as wearable pieces. Above all, the exhibition investigates the idea of jewelry as sculpture, as art object.” Kinghorn discovered Beeler’s work while serving as a judge at the 2013 Gasparilla Festival of the Arts in Tampa, Fla., at which Beeler received the prestigious Anniversary Award. Beeler graduated from Bowling Green University in Ohio in 2000 with a B.F.A. in studio art. She is a 10-year veteran of the art fair circuit, and her work has appeared in galleries and group exhibitions across the country. Locally, she has won Best of Show awards at the University of Toledo’s Art On The Mall and the Upper Arlington Festival; an Award of Excellence at the Columbus Winterfair; and awards at the Black Swamp Arts Festival in Bowling Green and the

Museum of Art. Her work also is displayed at The Collector’s Corner at the Toledo Museum of Art and at the River House gallery in Perrysburg.

Beeler works primarily in silver, using the lost-wax casting method, in which she uses seed pods to cast her pieces. Her work is heavily influenced by nature and captures the interplay between the dynamic forms and intricate details of plants, seed pods and other organic materials. “As much as I like the idea of being a big-city kind of girl, I am still a farm kid at heart,” said Beeler. “Nature helps me express myself. I’ve always found that using the seed pods give a depth to my work. There is a part of a seed pod that is so in tune with how I want to express human emotions -- beauty, fear, a multitude of other ideas.” Although most of her art fair work focuses on strictly functional pieces, her latest gallery pieces trend in a more abstract, sculptural direction. “I was at a crossroads with my work – wearable pieces for the art fairs versus larger conceptual pieces – and was inspired by this opportunity to expand my work,” Beeler said. “Each of the pieces for this show needed to make its own statement – to stand strong and alone, almost as a sculpture. “This opportunity came along at the perfect time, and I am truly grateful,” she said. “Having my work in a solo exhibition at a museum of art is a dream come true.” View her work, including pieces that will be exhibited in Maine, on her website, www.amybeeler.com.

Genoa may have new police chief soon

Transportation to be discussed

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press

By Press Staff Writer The Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments will hold a public meeting March 20 at the East Toledo Senior Center, 1001 White Street, to offer area residents the chance to voice their opinions on a long-range transportation plan the council is formulating. The meeting will be from 12:301:30 p.m. TMACOG is updating the plan “On the Move: 2015-2045 Transportation Plan� – a prioritized listed of projects and policies – for Lucas and Wood counties in Ohio and southern Monroe County in Michigan. Among the goals for the plan are improved road safety and infrastructure conditions and reduced traffic congestion. The scheduled completion date of the plan is July 1, 2015. TMACOG is also posting a survey on its website to solicit input on what residents see as priorities for future investment into the region’s transportation systems. The survey uses a rating system, from extremely important to no opinion, to ask residents their opinions of transportation issues. The meeting is being hosted by the East Toledo Club and Neighborhood Housing Services of Toledo. Lunch can be purchased at noon. For reservation information call Jodi at 419 691-1429.

The Village of Genoa has trimmed its list of candidates for police chief down to two men. A council committee has already interviewed Brad Weis, a Toledo Police Department captain, and is expected to interview Chad Milner, an Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office deputy, on Thursday, according to Village Administrator Kevin Gladden. Weis has a number of other ties to Ottawa County. The Oak Harbor resident is also a current member of Oak Harbor Village Council. And Milner already has a history with Genoa, having served as police chief until 2008 when he left to become a sheriff’s deputy. The two were among the three final candidates selected by consultant Mark Putnam from the pool of applicants formed

following the resignation of former Genoa Police Chief Bob Bratton in January. The third person, Mike McGee, dropped out during the search process after taking a job with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the administrator said. Gladden, who is not part of the search committee, said he was unsure when the committee hoped to have a new police chief hired. The decision, however, could come as soon as Monday when village council meets at town hall for its regular second meeting of the month. Meanwhile, the police department has been overseen by interim Police Chief Todd Mocniak. The scheduling process turned a little more difficult last week when officer Kevin Miller left the department to take a job with an area casino, Gladden said. Part-time officers are helping fill those patrolling niches, he said. Bratton resigned in the wake of a

theft in office scandal during his tenure as Ottawa County sheriff. According to an audit, he used more than $5,000 of Furtherance of Justice Funds on personal items such as clothing and prescription drugs as well as Cedar Point tickets to reward underprivileged children. The federal monies are issued to sheriff departments to help staff in law enforcement operations. The mishandling of funds was found during a 2012 audit conducted by Ohio Secretary of State David Yost’s office. Bratton, who cooperated throughout the audit, paid back the money as well as the costs for the investigation. The Ottawa County prosecutor’s office decided not to file charges. However, months later, the Cleveland office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation reopened the case and filed a single felony charge against Bratton in U.S. District Court. Bratton pleaded guilty Jan. 29. He is scheduled to be sentenced in May.

Recognize what’s important in life Dare to Live

“

Getting upset over things that don’t really matter is a conditioned response developed over many years.

“

How many of life’s so-called disasters are actually worthy of your time, energy, and emotions? It’s so easy to get worked up over some issue that ultimately fades to insignificance over time. It’s a waste to get caught up in turmoil over issues that don’t really matter in the long, or even short term. The smallest incident has the potential to be upsetting. Actions of close family and friends can be extremely irritating. This is because you have become conditioned to be triggered by behavior that has a tendency to get under your skin. There are certain behaviors you are highly sensitive to, regardless of the source. Even complete strangers have the ability to produce a deleterious effect on you. Always keep in mind that you have no control over someone else’s behavior, but you do have total control over your response. Driving your car encapsulates the essence of this concept. It is an excellent opportunity to practice your assessment of what really matters. The paramount issue while behind the wheel is your safety. Becoming embroiled in any altercation with rude or inconsiderate drivers has no upside. So, regardless of what another driver does, it doesn’t really matter. You have nothing to prove and any attempt to teach them a lesson starts a downward spiral. You can get worked up at any time and any place, even when you are supposed to be relaxing and having fun. Here are just some examples. At the movies, a really tall person sits in front of you. You go out for dinner and are served by an inattentive waiter. Your children are unruly. At a social event, you get into an argument with some

of your friends. You and your spouse get into an argument over which color to use for painting the living room. Bad weather has ruined your plans for the weekend. Perhaps some of these examples seem idiotic, but it is astounding how many people become embroiled in negative emotions over stuff that doesn’t really matter. Looking back, they may not remember why they got so upset, if they even remember the incident at all. For instance, there are people who have not talked to family members or friends for years on end and can’t tell you why. Getting upset over things that don’t really matter is a conditioned response developed over many years. Since nothing will be gained by becoming upset, it’s to your

advantage to alter your response. To do this requires a shift in perspective. You need to appreciate what is really important and valuable in your life. First and foremost is your well-being, both mentally and physically. Undue stress from emotional upheavals over stuff that doesn’t matter takes a measurable toll. Symptoms include anger, anxiety, headaches, high blood pressure, ulcers, a lowered immune system, along with eating and sleep disorders. Not only is your health constantly worn down, your agitation has a negative impact on those around you. Your becoming agitated will not make anything better. This approach actually causes you to feel worse as your ability to think clearly drops, while your level of anxiety elevates. The next time you are faced with an upsetting situation is an opportunity to practice altering your strategy. Instead of getting worked up the way you normally would, ask yourself, “Does this really matter?” Since the answer is invariably, “No,” let it roll off your back without getting under your skin. There are no risks to this change in strategy. There are no negative side effects. Your feeling better is the only potential outcome. You do have control over your response. Start exercising it.

A sweet, healthy victory in labeling By Jill Richardson The Food and Drug Administration recently came out with a sweet surprise. Its proposed new nutrition label will finally give us a bit of key information we need to understand our food: the amount of added sugars. If you look at a nutrition label now, you will see how many grams of sugar are in a serving of your food. That includes all sugars. It counts the lactose in milk and naturally occurring sugars from fruit. The nutritionally important bit of info for most of us is not total sugars, but added sugars — which include the sweetener we call “sugar” plus others like high-fructose corn syrup and honey. In addition to the blueberries and the yogurt in your blueberry yogurt, how much sugar did the manufacturer add? If you’re trying to pick the healthiest yogurt or granola bar, that’s a fact you need to know. OK, so every breakfast cereal in the aisle has some sugar added to it, but do the 19 grams of sugar in Kellogg’s Raisin Bran come from the raisins or from sugar and high-fructose corn syrup? How does it stack up against Froot Loops, which only has 12 grams of sugar but no fruit at all? Until now, the simplest way to do this was something nobody will try at home. You can count the number of raisins per serving of Raisin Bran and then calculate the amount of sugar in them. And, as it

Guest Editorial turns out, the cereal is actually full of added sugars. More than two decades ago, the nutrition activist group Center for Science in the Public Interest asked the government to include “Added Sugars” on nutrition labels. The government refused. Why? Because it might confuse consumers. The activist group tried again in 1999. That year, sugar consumption hit an alltime high. Yet again, the answer was no. In 2013, with First Lady Michelle Obama calling the nation’s attention to the catastrophic state of our diets, it was time to try again. And — just recently — the Food and Drug Administration agreed. It’s ridiculous that it took two decades for the government to side with consumers over the interests of the food industry, but thank goodness our leaders came to their senses. At least on this one issue. The nutrition advice you’ve probably heard on sugar involves phrases like “empty calories” and “eat sparingly.” The conventional wisdom was that added sugars were bad simply because they contributed calories to your diet without any nutrition.

As for the advice about eating it “sparingly,” that’s not what we do here in the United States, where about 15 percent of our calories come from sugar. In truth, added sugar’s more than just an empty calorie. It’s harmful to your body in a number of ways, and eating too much can increase your risk of contracting diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and more serious illnesses. The good news is, once the new nutrition labels take effect, you’ll at least be able to know how much you’re eating. Going by the American Heart Association’s recommendations, women should stick to six teaspoons (25 grams) or less, and men to nine teaspoons (38 grams) or less. Hopefully, food companies will be as eager to claim their products are low in added sugars as they were to claim “zero trans fats” when that went on the label. Successfully reducing sugar consumption to healthier levels, even with labeling, will be no picnic in the toxic food environment we live in. The real change will come if — or when — food companies decide to remove heaps of the sweet stuff from our food instead of admitting to obscene amounts of it on their labels. And that will be a sweet victory for health. OtherWords columnist Jill Richardson is the author of Recipe for America: Why Our Food System Is Broken and What We Can Do to Fix It.

Save schools To the editor: The Eastwood Committee to Save Our Elementaries will be attending the Eastwood Board of Eductaion meeting on March 17 in the high school library. The board meeting begins at 7 p.m., and the group will meet about 10 minutes before. The committee plans to ask the board of education to hold off any spending of money or decisions related to a central campus elementary or any new construction until the committee has time to meet with the board and share information that it has collected. The committee organized in an effort to stop any levy that would consolidate the Luckey and Pemberville elementary schools into one central campus elementary school. The committee’s slogan is: “We Voted No Twice – No Central Elementary,” and its mission statement is “Supporting the Eastwood School District while maintaining our local village elementaries.” The committee’s goal is to renovate and restore the buildings in Luckey and Pemberville to state-of-the-art facilities at a cost cheaper than a new facility, as has been done throughout the state of Pennsylvania. The Committee to Save Our Elementaries consists of local business people, educators, elected officials, builders and concerned residents from both villages and townships. All interested voters are also invited to attend the next meeting of the committee March 24 at 7 p.m. in the Eagle Room of Pisanello’s Pizza, Pemberville. Residents can also email co-chairs Carol Bailey at carolbailey2012@gmail.com and Crystal Crosby at ccandcrew@hotmail. com to join the committee or to receive the findings and information from the committee.

Oregon Fest 2014 invites you to vote for: People’s Choice - “The Best of Oregon�

Reader's theater Oregon Community Theatre will present its Reader’s Theatre with the Broadway hit “The Good Doctor� written by Neil Simon and Anton Chekhov and directed by Bill Quinlan March 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the lower level at the ProMedica Bay Park Hospital, Oregon. The comedic show is a composite of Neil Simon and Anton Chekhov. Reader’s Theatre is a more intimate style of theatre in which the actors do not memorize their lines, said cast member Nancy Ice. Rather, they either go through their blocking holding scripts and reading off their lines, or else sit/stand together on a stage and read through the script together. Actors use vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual storytelling such as sets, costumes, and intricate blocking. Like storytelling, Reader’s Theatre can create images by suggestion that could never be realistically portrayed on stage. Cast members include Patrick Boyer, Tammy Halay, Renee Harrington, Nancy Ice, Kyle Slagley, Reed Steele and Tom Zulick. Tickets are $5 at the door. Admission is free for OCT season ticketholders. For more information, call 419-691-1398 or go to oregoncommunitytheatre.org.

Bench’s spring series

Oregon Fest planners:

Entries sought for ‘Best of Oregon’ contest The Oregon Fest Committee has been busy planning fun events for its 20th-year celebration, which will be held May 18.

The popular annual festival will feature the usual events, including arts and crafts, a Business Fair, Classic Car Show, Festival Foods, kids’ art projects, a Living History Encampment, Quality of Life Tent, rides, games, prizes, free stage entertainment, a Grand Parade and more.

Family Briefs Young adult binge drinking topic of forum Only one percent of parents believe that his/her teen binge drinks. Brian and Cindy Hoeflinger, of Ottawa Hills, were in the 99 percent who did not know their son would binge with friends. That was a year ago. That was before they got a phone call to get to the hospital as soon as possible. During this past year, the Hoeflingers have become tireless in learning the subculture that supports binge drinking and sharing what they have learned in as many places as possible. Their story was recently featured nationally on the Katie Couric Show, and locally, by Toledo news anchors Jerry Anderson and Diane Larson. In addition to the television interviews, Dr. Hoeflinger wrote a book documenting the topic, “The Night He Died: The Harsh Reality of Teenage Drinking.” On Sunday, March 16 at 3 p.m., the Hoeflingers will be at Woodmore High School to share the story of their son, Brian, with hopes of sparing lives of other teens. This forum is open to all members of the Woodmore and neighboring communities. The school is located at 633 Fremont St., Elmore.

Get Growing

Spice up gardens with new flower, vegetable varieties this year By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com March weather is typically unpredictable. One day can have cold, blowing winds with mixes of sleet or snow while the very next day can sparkle with sunshine and mild, spring-like breezes. It almost seems like a seasonal struggle goes on this month between the cold, waning forces of winter and the warm advance of an oncoming spring. Though its allotted time is soon to be over, winter seems determined to prolong its stay as long as it can. Thankfully, the gentle forces of warmer weather are destined to prevail. In March, the stoic bulbs and, soon-to-be emerging perennials in our gardens and yards hold their own in spite of the warring weather. They seem to know that their time of flowering and robust growth is just ahead. As moody as the weather is now, spring will soon be here and the garden planning that we do now will ensure that we are ready for the gardening season just ahead. Officially, winter is about over and somehow the mixture of warm weather,

sunshine, and bird song ahead really stirs up the green thumb in many of us. If you’ve never gardened or haven’t cracked a hoe or wielded a trowel in a while, why not consider growing some flowers or vegetables this year? Try a variety of growing methods in your garden or yard. Grow some things from seed. Zinnias, marigolds and sunflowers are easily grown and do not have special requirements other than adequate sunshine, water, and decent soil. Radishes, spinach and green beans are also easily grown and do not require a lot of space. Along with your seed plants, put in some transplants for immediate colorful beauty. Also, try some summer blooming corms and tubers for later flowering and foliage. Gladiolas along the back of a flower bed will add spiky height and color to your garden in mid-summer. Dahlias are actually easy to grow and offer lots of variety in size and hue, and caladiums are wonderful for splashes of leafy color in shady spots. If you’re an established gardener, you’ve probably been poring over your garden catalogs, which I believe come earlier every year. My first 2014 garden catalog ar-

Pink poodle coneflower rived in November 2013, and Thanksgiving Eve found me drooling over the newly-offered varieties of flowers and vegetables. Now that many more catalogs have come in, I’ve found even more splendid plants that are whetting my gardening appetite. Some of these include “Pink Poodle” coneflower, a fully double bright pink perennial; “Love’s Magic,” a re-blooming, double daylily; and “Cheddar Hybrid,” a cauliflower variety that is chock full of be-

ta-carotene. Be sure and check out the “Indigo Series” hybrid tomatoes, which are a blue variety very high in anthocyanin, which is the antioxidant found in blueberries. There are several different types of tomatoes in this series (find more information on these at www.jungseed.com). The America’s Garden Almanac is predicting a cool, wet spring this year with a last frost date of May 15. Cooler temperatures may mean planting tender crops a bit later than usual but most plants appreciate adequate moisture. Whatever the conditions, spring and milder conditions will be most welcome after this very cold, very snowy, severe winter. March garden tip: This is a good time to begin cleaning dead foliage, leaves, dead branches, etc. out of your gardens and beds, but try to avoid walking on the bare, wet soil in your beds as this will compact the soil. Prune off any dead or damaged branches on trees or shrubs now before new growth begins in the spring. If you have garden questions or tips for other gardeners, send them in to dpl3@accesstoledo.com.

Rockets’ Cecil recognized as top girls player By J. Patrick Eaken and Mark Griffin sports@presspublications.com She can play anywhere on the court — guard, wing, or even post position, and she’s only a sophomore who stands 5-foot10. Oak Harbor standout Andrea Cecil caught the eyes of many prep basketball fans, enough so that she was voted this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year. After leading the Rockets to a 20-5 season, which included a Division III sectional championship and district runner-up, Cecil narrowly defeated Genoa senior guard Ciara Albright, an honorable mention allstate selection, in voting. Out of 10 area coaches and 10 media members voting, Cecil had just two more than Albright for POY, and they were the only two who received any votes on an open ballot. In addition, Cecil’s coach, Tom Kontak, narrowly edged Genoa coach Mike DeStazio and Clay coach Corey Slovak in Coach of the Year voting. Cecil averaged 19.5 points and 7.6 rebounds on a team that is bound to be going places in the next two years because multiple starters are underclassmen. They were so young when the season started, that no one knew for sure what was coming, not even the coaches. Kontak, who has a 127-57 career mark, returned just two starters from a year ago in senior guard Amanda Hetrick and Cecil, who was named third-team All-Ohio on Tuesday. “We started two freshmen (Emma Barney and Maddy Rathbun) who were on the eighth grade SBC championship team the year prior,” Kontak said. “The other sophomore who started was Athena Eli. Three sophomores, Allie Kuhn, Emma Bergman and Brandy Lochotzki, came off the bench. There were so many questions that needed to be answered, with only two players with playing time returning.” Kontak said his coaching staff realized early on what kind of players it had to work with. “Right away you found out that they had a great competitive spirit,” he said. “They were a very competitive group and they were very coachable players. Then, we just had to go day to day to teach what it takes to play at the varsity level. They’re winners. They understand that part of it.” Kontak said he brought in a local personal trainer, Tyson Smith, to work with the girls’ conditioning. “We spent a lot of time on stamina and agility and built up the girls from a physical standpoint,” Kontak said. “Our stamina was as good as anybody.” Oak Harbor graduates just two seniors in Amanda Hetrick and Nikki Weiss, who only played in five games because of a knee injury. Next year’s team will not have a senior on the roster. “With young kids, there are no guarantees,” Kontak said. “There are always so many distractions going on that we’ll have to stay focused and committed.” Albright (18.4 pts., 7.2 reb.), who has been offered a full ride to continue her career at Columbus State Community College, scored 1,082 career points, including 461 her senior year. She was the leading scorer in the Northern Buckeye Conference, was a first team All-District 7 and All-NBC selection and will play in the District 7 all-star game. She is the seventh player in Genoa

Andrea Cecil. (Press file photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/Russ Lytle/RHP) girls’ basketball history to score 1,000 points. “What’s more important, she did this in three years,” DeStazio said. “Most play-

ers reaching 1,000 points play four years varsity.” Albright is joined by teammate Haley Pickard, a 5-6 sophomore point guard, who averaged 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and had 110 steals this season. She has been DeStazio’s starting point guard the past two years and was the second leading scorer in the NBC. She was first team All-NBC and second team District 7. Lake 5-7 junior guard Jordyn Taylor, despite averaging just 10.2 points, was first team because of her play out in the backcourt and on defense. She had 107 assists, 84 steals, made 42.2 percent (78 for 185) of her two-point field goal attempts and despite her size, led the team with 116 rebounds. Playing almost every minute of every game, she had just 40 turnovers — less than two per contest. Rounding out the All-Press first team is Woodmore 5-10 senior wing/post Allie Wank, who averaged 14.5 points, six rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.9 steals. She shot 40 percent from two-point range, an outlandish 53 percent from three-point range, made 58 percent of her free throws, and had 42 steals. Along with Genoa, Clay and Waite, playing against larger schools in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference and Toledo City League, were the only teams to have three players each on the All-Press first team, second team, or third team. Slovak, after restoring the Clay girls’ basketball program to a winning mindset, saw two players on the second team, guards Haley Hess and Morgan Connor, both underclassmen. In voting, Hess narrowly missed earning a first team selection.

Kontak honored by district, state, and then locally By Mark Griffin and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com In eight years as a varsity girls’ basketball coach at Genoa and Oak Harbor, Tom Kontak has won 127 games, two league titles and five sectional championships and reached four district finals. This year’s Oak Harbor team, which started two sophomores and two freshmen, finished 20-5 and was seconds away from advancing to the Division III regional semifinals. On Tuesday, Kontak was named the D-III Co-Coach of the Year by The Associated Press. Last Thursday, Kontak, 51, learned that he was voted the AP Northwest District Co-Coach of the Year with Liberty-Benton coach Nate Irwin. This week, Kontak was voted the Alan Miller Jewelers AllPress Coach of the Year. The Rockets, which finished 16-8 last season in their first year under Kontak, finished 11-3 in the Sandusky Bay Conference this year. The AP district and state cocoach of the year awards are the first for Kontak, who was named coach of the year by the District 7 Coaches’ Association in 2009, when his Genoa team reached the district finals. “This is a great honor in that it’s voted on by the media and covers such a large area,” Kontak said of the district honor. “Hopefully having been around for a while, the voters recognize the success we’ve had over the years and that we have done things the right way. I was very surprised. I got a call from one of my coaching friends and he said congratulations. I had no idea.” Kontak said he’s familiar with what Irwin has accomplished at LibertyBenton, which was ranked sixth. “We go back to our early days when he was at Liberty-Benton and I was at Genoa,” Kontak said. “We played Liberty-Benton at Perrysburg in a district semifinal game and we beat them. Since then, they’ve won a state championship (2010) and been to the final four and have a great program and a great history. To be with Nate also makes it that much more of a great honor.” Oak Harbor’s only losses were to Clyde (twice), which lost to final four state qualifier Rogers in the district finals; Bellevue, a regional finalist in D-II; to Port Clinton; and to Bucyrus Wynford, which hit a 3-pointer with seconds left to beat the Rockets 40-37 in the district finals. Kontak’s assistants were Art Eli, Mark Boukissen and junior varsity coach Ralph Mills. “Those are guys who have been around for a while,” Kontak said. “We spend time away from the court together. The girls were able to see us get along so well, to see us scheme, game plan, laugh together, cry together - all the things you have to do to come together during the season. There wasn’t a lot of drama. It was a lot of good leadership and playing basketball and representing your school.”

Clay senior Pat Booth knew how many points he needed to score against Bowsher in the teams’ sectional tournament opener Feb. 26 at Waite. Booth’s goal was not only to help Clay upset the City League champion and eighth-ranked Rebels, but to reach a career milestone. “I remember going into that game I needed 12 points,” Booth said. “I got that in the first quarter. I was on fire that game.” Booth’s 12th point was career point No. 1,000. He finished the game – and his prep career - with a career-high 37 points in the Eagles’ loss, their 20th of the season (320, 1-13 Three Rivers Athletic Conference). “It felt great,” Booth said. “I think I hit 5-of10 from three. Other than that, it was really just (scoring by) driving and on a lot of fast breaks.” Booth (1,025 points) became just the fifth Clay boy to reach the 1,000-point milestone, joining Jim Routson (1,226), Randy Felhaber (1,115), Ben Tobias (1,103) and Tom Clay (1,035). After the Bowsher game, Booth said, “We took pictures and fans and parents were saying congratulations and asking for pictures. It made me feel pretty good. I was embarrassed that we lost, but other than that it felt pretty good.” Booth, a 6-foot-2 shooting guard, averaged 14.8 points and 4.2 rebounds a game this season and dished out 48 assists. He is the Eagles’ career leader in 3-pointers made, with 115. “Pat has been great for our program,” coach Rob Belegrin said. “He transferred in from St. John’s (as a freshman) and made an immediate impact. He has a great attitude and listens to everything in a positive way. I told him after his freshman year that he will be the next 1,000-point scorer at Clay, and that worked out pretty well.

“He scored within our offense; we never really ran specials (plays) for him. I’d like to think that our style of offensive play suited him well, and he bought into it from the start. I appreciate that. He has been a pleasure to coach, and we have a solid relationship off the court as well. I’m truly going to miss him.” Booth said he took advice from his father, Patrick Booth, who played basketball at Waite. “He told me to always put the work in,” Booth said. “He got me involved with AAU ball going into my seventh grade summer. I started with the Ohio Heat with a coach my dad knew and joined that summer team. That was the first time we traveled a lot and went to small cities around Ohio. We did pretty good.” Booth said he played baseball and basketball before he got to high school, but he gave up baseball once he started attending Clay. “I just thought basketball was a more fun game,” he said. Booth remembers scoring one bucket and handing out “maybe five assists” in his first varsity game, a sectional tournament loss to St. John’s. A lot of baskets followed over the next three years. He said Belegrin told him he would score 1,000 points before his Clay career was over. “At the time I would go to open gyms and I could compete with guys at the varsity level,” said Booth, who was a 5-11 point guard as a freshman. “Once (Belegrin) told me that, I always stuck with it and always tried to better myself.” Booth said he began pressing once he learned he was 50 points shy of No. 1,000. “I was counting down,” he said. “Not during the games, but before the games. I wouldn’t recommend doing that. Just play.” Booth added that the Eagles could have had “a real good season if we could have learned how to finish.” Clay lost 10 games by six points or less. “Still,” he said, “I accomplished a lot of goals at Clay.”

Woodmore’s newly hired strength training coach, Charlie Wooten, returned to his alma mater planning to help build the bodies of student-athletes. Wooten, a standout athlete during his high school days and as a pitcher for the Bowling Green State University baseball team, loves being the strength coach. “I love interacting with the kids,” said Wooten. “This is what I went to school for, and this is what I always wanted to do.” He plans on incorporating many different styles in the training he presents to athletes; Olympic type training, total body, balance, kinetic awareness and flexibility. He believes a good training schedule for high school students is a three-day weight training workout and one day devoted to jogging and dynamic training. Wooten is here for all sports. Both boys and girls are included in his training sessions. He plans on helping the athletes by showing them new techniques in a training schedule that he will help them devise. He also helps athletes to have the correct mindset and be ready to take on the mental aspect of training, which helps them strive for greater results. “I really enjoy having Wooten in the weight room,” said senior Phillip Thorbahn. “He knows how to really push you and get the most out of every workout.” According to Wooten, there are healthy and unhealthy ways to train. Healthy ways allow the body to respond to the stimulants and recover. By allowing the body to recover, this helps promote muscle growth. Not allowing the body to recover will actually break down muscle. That is why it is important to allow the muscles in one’s body to have periods of rest. Wooten advises that before someone begins to lift, he or she should eat a small snack. Then afterwards, it should take no less than 30 minutes to get something to eat. Wooten recommends chocolate milk to his athletes after they are finished training. The meal should consist of carbohydrates and protein.

Howard adds first team All-ACC honors to resumé For the second consecutive season, Florida State senior forward Natasha Howard (Waite) has earned All-ACC First Team honors as selected by the Blue Ribbon Panel, announced by the league. The first-team honor that comes in arguably the top conference in women’s college basketball adds another piece of history for the Toledo native. Howard’s selection to the 2013-14 All-ACC First Team makes her the first Seminole in the ACC era (1992-Present) to earn multiple first team honors. Last season, she was chosen for the first team by the Blue Ribbon Panel and second team by the ACC head coaches. “Natasha has been spectacular this season,” FSU coach Sue Semrau said. “I’m so proud of the way she has worked to make herself one of the best players in the country. Natasha is very deserving of all the recognition that she gets because of how dedicated she is to the game, and it’s been a pleasure to watch her lead us this season. Her will to win and unselfish play have been critical to our team’s success.” Howard joins only two players in FSU women’s basketball history in making multiple all-conference first teams. FSU Athletics Hall of Famers Bev Burnett (1988, 1989) and Wanda Burns (1990, 1991) garnered first-team selections as members of the Metro Conference. Howard’s all-conference pick is the 40th time an FSU player has earned allACC accolades, which includes rookie team selections. Howard has enjoyed a senior season for the ages, averaging 21.2 points, 9.3 rebounds while shooting 60.3 percent. According to the latest NCAA statistics, Howard is one of just six players in the nation shooting above 60 percent from the floor. The Toledo native recently earned a spot on the ACC Women’s Basketball Championship All-Tournament Team. In FSU’s second-round matchup against Miami, she recorded her 40th career double-double with 30 points and 16 rebounds in an important 72-67 overtime victory. She followed that up with 29 points on 14-of22 shooting facing constant double teams against No. 1 seed Notre Dame. Howard’s 21.2 points per game average puts her in a spot to possibly finish with the highest single-season scoring average in school history. She is currently third behind FSU Athletics Hall of Famers Bev Burnett (21.3 pts.) and Sue Galkantas (21.6 pts.). In ACC play, Howard raised her numbers by averaging 23.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and shooting 58.6 percent from the floor. Her All-America caliber season has been highlighted by her versatility, sitting in the Top five in the ACC in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage, steals per game (2.1), blocked shots per game (2.3) and offensive rebounds per game (3.7). Howard’s selection to the ACC AllDefensive Team marks the second of her career. She joins an elite list of multiple alldefensive team honorees at FSU in Brooke Wyckoff (2000-01), Alicia Gladden (200507) and Jacinta Monroe (2009-10). Gladden is the only Seminole to earn three selections to the ACC All-Defensive Team. Howard leads Florida State with 74 blocked shots this year, currently the fifthmost in a season at FSU. Her 65 steals are also the 16th-most by a Seminole in a single season. For her career, Howard is only three rebounds away from becoming the all-time leader at FSU. With her 1,027 ca-

A Senior CLASS Award finalist and candidate for the Wade Trophy, Howard has enjoyed an extraordinary final year at Florida State. She is the only player in the conference who ranks in the Top 10 in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage, steals and blocked shots. Unbeaten Notre Dame, which will enter this week’s ACC Women’s Tournament as the No. 1 seed, led the way with three total selections. The Fighting Irish guard tandem of senior Kayla McBride and sophomore Jewel Loyd were voted to the first team, while senior forward Natalie Achonwa is a second-team honoree. Four first-team players from last season are repeat selections this year in two-time ACC Player of the Year Alyssa Thomas of Maryland, Duke junior Elizabeth Williams, Howard and Georgia Tech senior Tyaunna Marshall. Duke’s Tricia Liston, a secondteam selection in 2013, was named to this year’s All-ACC first team. Rounding out the 10-member first team are North Carolina freshman Diamond DeShields, NC State senior Markeisha Gatling and Wake Forest junior Dearica Hamby. Joining Notre Dame’s Achonwa on the second team are NC State senior Kody Burke, Georgia Tech freshman Kaela Davis, Syracuse sophomore Brittney Sykes and Virginia Tech senior Uju Ugoka. More all-conference Howard earned more all-conference accolades when it was announced she earned both Head Coaches’ All-ACC First Team honors as well as a selection to the ACC All-Defensive Team, announced Monday by the conference. An All-ACC First Team, Second Team, Freshman Team and Defensive Team were

voted on by the league’s 15 head coaches. The All-ACC First Team and Freshman Teams mirror that of the Blue Ribbon Panel All-ACC selections, which were announced on March 4. “These are two more awards that are indicative of how special of a season Natasha has had,” Semrau said. “What she has done for our team this year, both offensive and defensively, puts this season among the

best for an individual in school history. We have leaned on her all season and she continues to come through for us. She is someone who put in hours and hours of work in the offseason and now she is enjoying the fruits of her labor.” Florida State awaits its NCAA Tournament fate with the NCAA Women’s Basketball Selection Show on Monday, March 17, at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Rieker resigns

The Press Box

Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School has announced that Dave Rieker will not be returning as the head coach for the boys’ basketball team next year. Rieker has been the head coach at Stritch for four years and compiled a 37-53 record during that time.

Rathbun, Hetrick in all-star game

Jacob Huss swings into Woodmore coaching position The Woodmore varsity baseball team will be working hard this spring under the direction of new head coach Jacob Huss. Huss started coaching in 2003 and since then has coached Genoa Little League, as well as junior varsity and assistant varsity at Lakota High School before coming to Woodmore. With several returning seniors, Huss feels he will have great leadership that will lead the team positivity. “I’m excited for the season,” said Huss. “There are upperclassmen that can take charge and lead the team to a successful season.” Huss has been the JV coach since 2010, so he is excited to take on the new position because he has worked with the upcoming varsity players before. Many of the players this year are excited to see Huss take charge. “He’s very positive and enthusiastic,” said sophomore Matt Depner. “He’s my favorite coach because he doesn’t bring anyone down and works solely on fundamentals.” Starting fresh with a new coach for some schools could be a setback, but not for Woodmore baseball. “We should have a good season,” said senior Erich Greulich. “I hope to help the team to get to the top of the league and also have a good tournament run.” Both Depner and Greulich admire Huss as a coach because of his calmness in a tough situation and dedication to making the team better each day. “This year might be a struggle due to the number of pitchers and loss of a few key players from graduating or not coming out this season,” said Depner. “But with

Oak Harbor boys’ basketball player Andrew Rathbun and girls’ player Amanda Hetrick will compete at the Wendy’s-WLEC All-Star Basketball Game Mar. 26 at Perkins High School. The girls’ game starts at 6 p.m. and the boys’ game follows.

I often wonder why we allow things that don't concern us, or situations that we can't control, to upset us so much. Some of us seem to get so bent out of shape, over something that we've seen on television or read in the newspaper, that it appears to ruin our whole day. And although there are problems in the world, it is indeed unfortunate for any of us to be carrying around so much anger that we have trouble enjoying our lives. Also, it is quite silly to become infuriated over relatively minor things such as being kept waiting, or bad drivers on the highway. There are enough unpleasant issues in our

lives that are unavoidable, such as our health, family, or work situations, that it seems we shouldn't go around looking for more. And remember too, that anger increases our blood pressure and heart rate, and is associated with numerous potentially harmful gastrointestinal problems. The Bible tells us that we should get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, and that we should be kind and compassionate to one another. (Ephesians 4:31-32) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret, it only causes harm. New K.J.V. Psalm 37:8

People Winter Wonderland Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus transformed its Multipurpose Room into a winter wonderland for a Snowflake Ball held Feb. 23. A snowstorm and poor weather conditions caused the event to be rescheduled from its original date of Jan. 26. Riverview Administrator Kendra German welcomed 60 community members to the room, which was decorated with white lights and a winter balloon arch, along with expansive snow scenes. Guests enjoyed lasagna prepared by Riverview’s Food and Nutrition Department, as well as salad, garlic toast and a variety of cheesecakes. Entertainment was provided by Jerry Wittman. Multiple door prizes were awarded to those in attendance, many of which were donated by Ottawa County Senior Resources. The grand prize, a large snowman, was won by Margaret Kuhlman. Riverview is planning a number of community events this spring. A St. Patty’s Day Parade, which will be held March 15 at 10:30 a.m. in the multipurpose room, will include a lunch and photos with the Riverview Leprechaun. On Saturday, April 5, Riverview will host its annual Swing into Spring Craft Show and Easter Bunny Luncheon, which will include photos and Easter Egg Hunt. For more information or to reserve a meal for the Leprechaun or Easter Bunny Lunch,

Spark Award winner Despite several job changes and job sites within WSOS, Brenda Barton never lost her love for serving preschoolers and their families. Her belief in WSOS’s core value of helping people help themselves earned her the organization’s Spark Award for January 2014. Barton, an Oak Harbor resident and currently a center specialist at WSOS Genoa and Port Clinton centers, was honored for demonstrating leadership, quality and service to children and families in the Early Childhood Program. The Spark Award is presented to employees in the WSOS Family Development programs who demonstrate innovative and caring service to the children and families of the program. According to her nominators, she demonstrated excellence through qual-

ity of work and leadership as she helped prepare the two centers she supervises for the accreditation process of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). “This award means a lot to me because I was nominated by the people I work with daily.” Barton said. “I appreciate that they see me as a leader and team member and that they realize that I work hard to help make our centers a great place for our children, families and staff.” Barton was hired at WSOS in 1980 as a home visitor. After 10 years in that position, she became a classroom teacher at the newly established Genoa Center. Later, she was named the site coordinator/teacher. To learn more about WSOS services, call 1-800-775-9767 or visit www.wsos.org.
