Freedom violated, union says

Story leads to suit By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

Fatal fire

A front page article about a high school athletic director published in The Press last March 17 is getting plenty of attention. A feature about the tribulations of Bowsher High School AD and Oregon City Councilman Terry Reeves titled “Councilman breaks up fight: Athletic director’s job description didn’t include this” has led to a federal lawsuit. The issue — whether Reeve’s First Amendment rights were violated when Toledo Public Schools reprimanded him for not referring his comments to the communications office first. Reeves, a lifelong Oregon resident who is serving his fourth term on Oregon City Council, is now in his sixth year as the athletic director at Bowsher. On Dec. 20, 2013, during 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. In trying to break up the fight, Reeves, 56, tore a quad muscle that, at that moment, he said, “sounded just like a gun going off.” He was in a leg brace for weeks afterward and received a steady dose of physical therapy. Afterward, Reeves spoke to Press contributing writer Mark Griffin, and Griffin wrote about the incident and also about Reeves’ contributions to youth athletics, his political career, and from the days when was an athlete. They spoke by phone while Reeves was at home. The “green sheet”, or reprimand, from the Bowsher principal that followed was appealed to the board of education, which upheld the reprimand. “We have board policy related to all our employees that anytime that they speak to the media about any incidents in the district or anything related to an employee’s condition that they refer the matter to the communications office,” TPS Chief of Staff Brian

Murphy said. “This was a situation that wasn’t communicated through our director of communications, which is Patty Mazur.” It is a mark in Reeve’s file against him and doesn’t result in any fines or loss of pay, Terry Reeves Murphy told The Press. Reeves remains the AD at Bowsher. “Terry is a great guy. He really is. The situation is unfortunate,” Murphy said. However, the reprimand prompted the Toledo Federation of Teachers, the union that represents the district’s teachers, to file the lawsuit in U.S. District Court. ‘Questions about his own life’ The suit is getting considerable media coverage throughout the greater Toledo area. In addition, union president Kevin Dalton says Reeves was reprimanded a second time two days after the suit was filed. The lawsuit, which draws attention to 48 allegations, seeks to stop the enforcement of the policy, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees and costs, and “any other such relief,” is pending Continued on page 2

More improvements are coming to Navarre By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon plans to improve the appearance of Navarre Avenue as part of its safety improvement project. The city received a $2.4 million safety grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation to improve Navarre Avenue between I-280 and Isaac Streets Drive to reduce the high rate of traffic accidents. The project mostly consists of the construction of a median on Navarre Avenue with seven U-turn or “turnarounds’ located between the project limits. At a recent Navarre Avenue stakehold-

ers meeting, Public Service Director Paul Roman had asked for input on improving the aesthetics on Navarre Avenue where the medians will be constructed. Mayor Mike Seferian said his administration will soon be requesting that council approve funds for the enhancements as part of the safety improvement project. “We may come back with a request for a fairly handsome dollar amount. We’ve found some funds that we think are available, to enhance especially the center of Navarre Avenue in the improved area,” said Seferian. “We want to come up with some artistic scheme that we could forward onto an engineering consulting or graphic company. We figured this would be the

time to do something like that. It would fall right into the timing. We believe we have secured financing, which would be solely city funds. Maybe we could even include the Wheeling – Navarre Avenue corner with some type of enhancement there, too. We don’t see that there would be a better time than acting on that now, and actually put together something that calls attention to Navarre Avenue as being our downtown. It would give some spirit to the area.” Lighting Councilman Jerry Peach said lighting of the medians would not only make it more attractive but also improve safety. “Of course, the primary goal is to

improve safety with that median in the Navarre-Wheeling area,” said Peach. “Looking at similar medians out in the Maumee area, especially where Maumee has some of its maintenance offices, some of the medians don’t stand out at night quite as much as one might hope with no shrubbery, no lighting - nothing to emphasize that the median is actually there. I think an unlit low median can present itself as a hazard. So whatever enhancements are contemplated will have an eye towards letting the motoring public know people who are turning out from businesses – that at night, there is a median there.” Continued on page 2

The Ohio State Highway patrol says the semi rolled over on I-280 at milemarker 3, just north of State Route 795 around 12:30 p.m. Monday, November 24. Northbound lanes were closed for more than an hour because of the crash. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

More improvements coming to Navarre Continued from front page Seferian said lighting would be added to the median later. “The first priority of the beautification enhancement would be the concept of what type of art we’re looking at, and I mean artistic scheme of the median and surrounding area,” said Seferian. “Of course, lighting would be added to that once we get the picturesque look of what the area could be, and we should probably have a couple of options there that would be presented before you, but something that would really call focus to someone when they’re going by - not enough that they’re staring at it and crashing the car in front of them, but something they would be proud of, or something they would say, `Ah. This is the City of Oregon.’” Councilman Tim Zale said the city should not pass up the opportunity to make the enhancements. “I really do believe this is our opportunity to improve a good portion of Navarre and it’s about time that we do it - that we do it right, and do a good job at it,” said Zale. “This is our opportunity and we should not pass it by.” Council President Dennis Walendzak agreed. “I would hate for us 10 years from now to be kicking ourselves that we `should have done this.’ We do have an opportunity to dress up the business corridor and the gateway into our community,” he said.

litigation. Dalton says precedence exists in Ohio common law for this situation. “There are case laws and examples in Ohio where employers have had to go after employees who made statements to the media and the employee prevailed,” Dalton said. A statement Dalton emailed to The Press reads, “The Toledo Federation of Teachers opposes the board of education’s policy ‘KBC, Section K: News Media Relations’ and considers it, in its current form, to be an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech. “While the federation recognizes the board’s right to maintain the efficient operation of the taxpayer’s business, this policy restricts unnecessarily vast amounts of speech by using vague and open-ended terms. As written and as enforced, this policy prohibits school district employees from speaking to the media on any topic without first obtaining board approval. The statement continues, “The entire article was about Mr. Reeves, his injury and his career in athletics. It was not about the board, its policies, or its actions on the night of Mr. Reeve’s injury. The board in essence disciplined Mr. Reeves for answering questions about his own life simply because he did not obtain prior approval from his employer. In our view, nothing about Mr. Reeves’ conduct threatened the board’s ability to run an efficient operation. “The federation has made its objections to this policy known to the board and requested a meeting to discuss modifications that would achieve the board’s goals without restraining speech. Unfortunately, the board declined our request. “Therefore, the federation filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court here in Toledo challenging the Constitutionality of the policy. At this point the federation intends to rely on the court and the law to resolve the issues we have with this policy and remain confident that the interests of our members and students will be served through this effort to protect the right of free speech.” Two allegations in the complaint state, “As a member of Oregon city council, Reeves is routinely approached by the press and has a duty to respond to matters of public importance…As the athletic director at Bowsher, Reeves is frequently contacted by the press regarding the athletic program at Bowsher and specifically regarding the performance of various players and teams.” Another allegation notes how most of the article published in The Press is about Reeves and not about the fight. “The article reports Reeves’ account of how he was injured on December 20, 2013. Reeves provides no information regarding the board’s response to that incident and he does not purport to make any official statements on behalf of the board,” the allegation states.

“It’s important to the mayor and council that as we move forward, we not let the opportunity pass to make Navarre Avenue more attractive at the same time,” Beazley said last week. “We think we can upgrade the appearance of Navarre and make it easier for our residents and the businesses there to feel comfortable and be part of an attractive space. So we’re going to look at opportunities for some design features or other things that set it off so folks know they’re in Oregon. It will be safer, but it also be a more attractive place to do business.” Lake access Oregon is also looking for ideas to enhance the waterfront along Bay Shore Road to improve public access to the lake.

for the project would be earmarked in next year’s budget. “We haven’t decided what to call the project – some type of waterfront-Bayshore Road enhancement,” said Seferian. “We want to have some funds available for other possibilities of waterfront enhancement. When it comes around budget time, we’ll be requesting some funds for that.” Beazley said it’s all about public access to the lake. “We really want to look at it in the broadest possible way of access,” said Beazley. “We want to begin some analysis of what’s possible. We have something called a boat launch that you can’t launch anything larger than a kayak from very easily because of the physics of the water there.” The city will look at any area along Bay Shore where there is public property or opportunities for public access, said Beazley. “It would also possibly include improvements to our current boat launch.” “We want to really challenge ourselves to look at the best ways the community can access the lakefront,” Beazley said last week. “It includes the area by the senior center and the Haley boardwalk in the South Shore Park area. We’re looking at 2015 as the year we want to do something along those lines.” The city will, at some point, hire an engineering firm to provide analysis on what ideas might work to improve public access, he added.

Crowds step out for Genoa’s Holiday Open House

The Wood County Humane Society (WCHS) Humane Agent, Debra Loprete, handled a total of 39 cases in October. Agent Loprete successfully resolved 25 of the cases; 14 are still pending further investigation. Of the 25 closed cases, 14 were filed with “no reason for concern,” seven resulted in the administering of additional education, two were filed as “unable to locate,” and two resulted in referrals to other agencies. During the same month, the WCHS took a total of 33 cats and 15 dogs into the shelter, according to Shelter Manager Erin McKibben. The WCHS also adopted out 24 cats and 14 dogs during the month of October. At present, the WCHS is experiencing a high volume of feline intakes. The shelter currently houses 103, with an additional 26 in foster homes offsite and 330 cats on its wait list. To help these animals find their forever homes more quickly, the WCHS is once again sponsoring a name-yourown-price adoption event for all cats and a special $50 adoption fee for all kittens until the end of 2014. For information on adopting and/ or volunteering, visit the WCHS’s website at http://www.woodcountyhumanesociety.org/.

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press Emma Grosjean has an eye for all that glitters and shines. It’s kind of hereditary for the daughter of David and Cheryl Grosjean, owners of Genoa Custom Interiors, in the village’s business district. The Genoa High School graduate traveled home from the University of Akron where she studies anthropology to help her mother and aunt, Susan Gladden, mind the store for the Holiday Open House, the village’s annual pre-winter extravaganza running Nov. 21-23. She welcomed patrons as a mesmerizing cinnamon scent wafted through the house turned showroom at the corner of Main and Eighth streets. Shortly after noon, more than a dozen ladies and gentlemen strolled room to room checking out the glistening trees, ornaments and yuletide displays placed tastefully throughout the business. Other offerings included everything from high end couches and chairs to reasonably priced scarves and jewelry. Three women giddy with laughter as their buying frenzy wound down at the front desk waited for staff put finishing touches on their smartly wrapped packages. “I just can’t resist places like this. This is my kind of store,” a slender young woman chuckled as she gathered up her bounty. “I know,” Gladden agreed as she handed over the purchases. “It’s like for someone else, two for me.” Down the block, customers streamed into Packer Creek Pottery to check out the handmade Majolica creations crafted in holiday themes including hot cocoa mugs, snow men earrings and candy cane tree ornaments. Standing nearly shoulder to shoulder, some 40 people wiggled through the shop snagging buys, signing up for door prizes and watching pottery making demonstrations. The business portion of the company created by hometown native Jan Pugh quietly changed hands to longtime staffer Julie Harbal about a year ago. But Pugh maintains an artistic hand in the products adorning the walls, shelves and hundreds of displays. Fellow shop keepers welcome the pottery shop’s draw to the community. Interest often spills over into their enterprises, especially at events like these. “They have lovely things over there,” Alice Witt of Genoa Jewelers agreed. She was enjoying a quiet moment after a noontime burst of business at the store owned by her brother, Frank Komives. He was busy in the back with a steady stream of repairs that keep him busy regularly. Witt minded the shop with the help of store mascot Eddie, a spirited Shih Tsu. One of the popular items this year is the line of Bentelli white gold jewelry. Witt showed off a delicate necklace with a splinter of diamond chips retailing for $114. A lacquer finish preserves the jewelry. “A lot of this is reasonably priced,”

New Oregon senior center to open after February By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council last Monday approved the purchase of a building at 4350 Navarre Avenue for a senior center. The current senior center on Bay Shore Road has long been considered outdated for seniors’ needs. The city purchased the building for $850,000 from SIG-OHIO, LLC., dba Signature Associates, an Ohio Limited Liability Company. “It is our expectation to close on the property by the end of the year,” said City Law Director Melissa Purpura. “We just finalized this agreement at 5 o’clock tonight.” “We said we would act this year, so please give us time to finish things up,” said Council President Dennis Walendzak to the audience. Part of the building is being leased by an insurance company. It has up to 13,500 square feet. Approximately 6,500 square feet will be devoted for senior activities. The city will also receive about $200,000 in the next two years from the existing lease, according to Administrator Mike Beazley. The city’s Parks & Recreation Committee held a meeting a few weeks ago to discuss a senior services plan and recommendations for a facility. The James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center on Bay Shore

The Navarre Avenue site of the new senior center. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) Road, a former pumping station owned by the city, is cramped with only 2,800 square feet, which limits the availability of certain programs. After city council approved the pur-

chase, seniors sitting in council chambers who have waited for years for a new senior center burst into applause. For years, many in the senior community have asked for a senior center that is centrally located. The

Wes Hancock senior center was considered by many to be too far for seniors to attend regularly, particularly in winter weather. Beazley said the building should be open to seniors after February. Some changes need to be made, including the installation of a kitchen so that meals can be provided. “The building is in excellent condition, but there are a few things we’ll have to do because of the changing use. We’ll have to make sure there’s adequate fire protection, and we have to look at a kitchen once we get in. We’re not expecting this to be a long, drawn out process. We want to move quickly in the coming weeks. We’re making plans to make sure we can get into the space as soon as we can,” he said. Members of a Senior Advisory Committee were meeting every couple of weeks since April, 2014 to discuss and decide the best options for distributing revenue from a new 0.5 mill five year senior levy for Oregon seniors, which was passed last November. A proposed ordinance to enter into an agreement with Oregon Senior Center, Inc., to spend the levy revenue was on the Nov. 24 council agenda, but then was rescheduled for the Dec. 8 council meeting agenda. The Area Office on Aging of Northwest Ohio will continue to provide services to seniors in Oregon. Voters in November agreed to renew the Lucas County senior levy and approved additional millage for more funds

Oregon residents will get their taxes cut next year It’s the season of giving, and Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian and city council decided to give residents a present in the form of tax cuts. The city next year will not be collecting revenue from three .5 mill levies because the officials determined there are sufficient funds in the budget to cover expenses. Each .5 mill levy helped fund the police, recreation and fire departments. “We can meet the service needs of the community without collecting the revenue. Our income tax revenues have been strong,” said Administrator Mike Beazley last week. Oregon City Council on Monday approved a resolution that accepted the tax amounts and rates as determined by the Budget Commission of Lucas County, which defers collection of revenue from the levies. “We’re accepting some of the rates, but also choosing not to collect on some of the rates of three of our levy accounts,” said Seferian. “Many of the members have discussed this general theme over a period of years,” said Beazley. “It’s something the mayor and I have discussed over a period of years. It’s not very often that a community gets a tax cut – even a small one. It’s something that we feel good doing in light of our overall revenue projections and our fund balances. It’s something we really intended to discuss during our budget process. When we contacted the auditor on this, in terms of

the timing, tonight is the deadline for essentially declaring our intent in terms of collecting revenues or not.” Older levies The levies, each of which collects about $75,000 in annual revenue, have been renewed by voters since the 80s. “They are over 25 years old and are very small levies. Half a mill 25 years ago is not what it is today. We’re voting not to collect $75,000 per levy. It’s very similar to what we voted on for the senior levy,” said Beazley, referring to the new .5 mill five year senior levy voters passed last year. “The mechanism for doing this is the resolution where we state our intention to update the resolution of a similar nature that was passed a couple of months ago. By passing the resolution, we’re saying we will not collect those levies in 2015.” Beazley said the administration will

reevaluate the need to collect revenue from the levies in the future. “It’s the recommendation of the administration that we look at this on an annual basis and we look again as a council and administration for 2016. It may well be that the best course of action to meet our service needs is to collect those in 2016 and 2017, or it may be that we won’t need them for a number of years. But we think we should take it on a case by case basis. If we believe we can meet our service needs, we should not automatically tax the taxpayers for it. It’s consistent with the way council and the mayor view it. We have been looking for these types of opportunities for a while. In light of the challenges that we faced, we postponed it. We’ll have to take it on a year by year basis and see how it goes,” said Beazley. Seferian said the city can always find ways to spend surplus revenue. “But with responsible spending, we felt it was fair not to collect from the residents,” he said. In addition, he said the city has made favorable investments that have helped increase its revenues. “So we would like to proceed with responsible spending and show we can deliver on some of the investments we’ve made in the past. This is one way of doing that,” he said. Cutting costs over the years have also benefited the city. “During the recession, we downsized the government, we recovered well locally,” Beazley said after the meeting. “Our industrial sector has been growing and is very active.”

“In these challenging economic times,” said Councilman James Seaman, “any small reduction that we can pass onto the taxpayer is deeply appreciated by them. As the administration pointed out, I think it’s responsible government for us to return this money to the taxpayers as the balances in our other funds are sufficient. This shows the trust we have with the taxpayer.” Councilman Joshua Hughes said he applauded the administration for taking the lead on cutting taxes. “It is appropriate. Ever so small tax breaks for the residents are always appreciated. I think in this particular instance, it is quite appropriate,” he said.

Marge Brown relishes time on Cardinal Stritch board

“

As I say goodbye to Stritch in June, I will find another way to keep giving back.

“

Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School board member Marge Brown has a slogan she lives by: I care for people. And for the former teacher turn politician, it is obvious she takes her slogan very serious. “God has blessed me and I have had a magnificent life, and I want to give back,” said the 77-year-old. Brown has been giving back to Stritch, even before the school was built. In 1959, a representative from the Diocese of Toledo came to her church in Bono to talk about building a Catholic School on the east side of Toledo. That was two years before the diocese even broke grown for the structure, but Brown knew it would become an important part of the area. “I thought, ‘One of these days, our kids are going to be there,’ so we made a pledge to Cardinal Stritch. And low and behold, it can true. My kids graduated from here, and my grandchild is going here now,” said Brown. Her dedication to Stritch only grew stronger as the years went on, and it was once again an announcement in church that got Brown involved with Stritch. At the end of a mass in 2009, there was an announcement that a representative from St. Ignatius was desired for Stritch’s school board. After filling out an application, Brown became a board member in February of 2010 and has helped oversee a number of big changes during her time. She helped with the merger of three elementary schools to form St. Kateri Catholic Academy and has seen enrollment rise 10 percent over the last three years. This year will be her last year on the board due to term limits. But don’t believe for a moment that Brown is done caring for people. “As I say goodbye to Stritch in June, I

Marge Brown. (Photo courtesy of St. Kateri Academy and Cardinal Stritch Catholic) will find another way to keep giving back,” said Brown In addition to being involved at Stritch,

Brown spent 39 years as an elementary teacher. She also served on the City of Oregon’s board and from 2001-2009, she

was the city’s mayor. But even when she is not making a decision to better a school or community, she is still helping people. That trait was put on display when she was on a plane in Alaska and saw a young woman crying. “I leaned over and touched her arm and asked if she was okay, and she said ‘No, I just came from burying my sister.’ So I talked to her, and told her ‘I buried my sister too, so I know how you feel,’” Brown said. “So then we just talked about things. “When we got off the plane, ready to board another plane, her husband approached me, gave me hug and said ‘thank you.’ That’s all he said. God puts us in different places at different times for a reason. That was one of those instances.” (Story and photo courtesy St. Kateri Academy and Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School and reprinted from Kateri Alumni Magazine)

Woodville waiting on prosecutor’s review of dog shooting About 30 members of the community attended Monday’s meeting of Woodville Village Council to ask more questions and comment on the recent shooting of a dog by an on-duty police officer during a traffic stop. Mayor Rich Harman opened the meeting by stating that Sandusky County prosecuting attorney, Tom Stierwalt, had all the relevant information and has advised village officials to make no specific statements at this time. Once Stierwalt has finished his review, there will be a statement made to the public about his findings, the mayor said. Resident Cara Brown said she is a dog owner and that her dogs are Labradors – the same breed as the dog that was shot. Brown also said she held a job as an animal control officer in Arizona and has been trained in animal law and behavior. Brown said she contacted Police Chief Roy Whitehead about the incident and said the chief had been open and cooperative with the information he was allowed to discuss at that time. It was also her understanding that all witnesses had been interviewed by the time she met with the chief and the evidence was handed over to Stierwalt. She then described the shooting by of-

ficer Steve Gilkerson. “He did make a verbal effort to stop the dog from further approaching and was unsuccessful. He then made his best choice to contain the situation for the safety of all. He shot the dog, that was at large, with no visible identification, that continued to approach him, in the public road,” Brown said. Ohio Revised Code states that dogs are personal property, subject to restraint and are not permitted to run at large. The law also states the owner of the dog can be found liable for damages caused by a dog

running at large. “In the line of duty, based on his training, experience and observation, officer Gilkerson has earned the right and responsibility to protect himself as well as protect the safety of the entirety of the situation. He had to make a choice. Was this dog going to bite him, if so, how severe? Was this dog going to run into traffic, which could set off a chain of events of cars swerving, causing injury, damage, or death to himself, the 2-year-old (in the stopped car), the suspects or those passing by? All these questions and considerations and mere seconds to make a decision,” Brown said. She encouraged residents to review the public record and if they have proof that contradicts what is there, to bring it forward and that if they couldn’t, to accept the outcome as it is. Resident Tom Bloom, who read a statement at the prior meeting, asked council if anything had been done concerning the suggestions he offered on behalf of other residents, including having officer Gilkerson going through a psychological evaluation. Councilmember Judy Karchner mentioned that Bark Busters, a dog training group, is trying to organize a special training session for the Woodville Police Department and other area departments. Chief Whitehead mentioned there is a recorded incident at the Sandusky County

Sherriff’s Office of a neighbor who felt threatened when the dog, named Moses, was on his property. The chief also made a point that neither himself, nor any of his officers have ever seen Moses on his owner’s Main Street business property when they have made traffic stops there in the past, and that seems to be a spot that traffic stops happen quite frequently. Chief Whitehead then read a statement that was part of a report from August of this year when Officer Gilkerson had been bitten on the hand by a dog, at a residence where he was responding to a call from a member of the household. It mentioned that Gilkerson was talking with the resident of the house when one of the dogs approached him and bit him on the hand with no obvious provocation. The chief also mentioned that from January 1, 2012 to November 14, 2014 there have been 106 animal-related calls for service and that Gilkerson has responded to 34 of them. This was the first time in 20 years the chief could recall any officer fired their weapon in self defense. It was mentioned a short time later that there were currently enough monies in the Drug Fund to purchase a dash camera and a vest camera for the village’s K-9 unit only. After nearly an hour, Mayor Harman motioned to continue with the regular council meeting at which time the majority of those assembled left the chambers.

Owens College Nursing students’ lawsuit dismissed

Poinsettias Fresh Greens & Wreaths

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court decision that dismissed a lawsuit filed by students in the nursing program of Owens Community College. The case, centering largely on procedural matters, stems from the nursing program’s loss of accreditation in 2009 from the National League Nursing Accrediting Commission. The college had offered a two-year associate’s degree in nursing. The students had filed three complaints against the college, citing the Consumers Sales Practices Act, after the loss of accreditation: first in the state’s Court of Claims, which dismissed it in February 2010 because it lacked jurisdiction, and then in August 2010 in Lucas County Common Pleas Court where it was determined that court wasn’t the proper venue. The case was filed in Wood County Common Pleas Court on Jan. 24, 2011 but students voluntarily dismissed themselves from the case in two groups; 42 in December 2011 and the remaining 65 in January 2012. However, 93 students refiled in Wood County in December 2012 – again citing the CSPA – and then filed a motion to amend their complaint and add two more students to the list of plaintiffs. The college challenged the motion successfully, however, and the court denied the amendment. Litigation proceeded in 2013 but 46 of the 93 students in the third complaint voluntarily dismissed themselves from the suit. The college then filed for summary judgment, arguing the statute of limitations for filing has expired. In January of this year, the common pleas court granted the college’s motion and determined the students’ attempted use of what is called the “savings statute” in the Ohio Revised Code for their third filing was improper. The appeals court agreed. “The plain language of Revised Code directs that refiling of the 2009 case dismissed otherwise than upon the merits could only be done prior to the later of either one year following the 2009 dismissal or prior to the Sept. 28, 2011 expiration of the original applicable statute of limitations,” the appeals court wrote. “We concur that appellants (students) did comply with the savings statute in the second filing, completed upon transfer to Lucas County January 24, 2011. Nevertheless, the record further reflects that by January, 4, 2012, all plaintiffs had voluntarily dismissed the refiling.” In August 2013, the college announced it had received notice from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing, formerly the NLNAC, the registered nursing program had regained accreditation through the spring of 2018. The school said it had increased its number of full-time nursing faculty positions from 25 to 35.

Success will require accomplishments, not attempts Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

If the consequences of failure are significant, your motivation to succeed is also boosted.

“

“I’ll give it a try,” is the remark often made by those about to attempt some particular endeavor. We have grown up learning how advantageous it is to give something a try. Unfortunately, giving something a try is actually a back door to failure. When you give something a try, but are unsuccessful, the typical response is, “Well at least I gave it a try.” So trying is used to excuse failure because at least an attempt was made. Success requires accomplishments, not attempts. In order to succeed, you must say, “I will do it.” This is a statement of determination to do whatever it takes, as many times as it takes, until your goal is reached. Failure only occurs when you give up. Unrelenting persistence invariably leads to success. Do you know what you really want? How badly do you want it? Determination is linked to the degree of your desire. Determination is essential to reach your destination. A burning desire propels you to overcome the obstacles you will encounter. Understanding why you want something helps fuel your determination. You must understand, and have a desire for the benefits you will realize when successful. When the benefits are meaningful to you, your motivation is significantly intensified.

Conversely, if you don’t know why you want something, or its attainment holds no value, there is little enthusiasm to attain it. In this situation, if you are pushed, you are likely to just give it a try. Although this halfhearted attempt is likely to fail, you are

covered with the defense of, “At least I gave it a try.” If the consequences of failure are significant, your motivation to succeed is also boosted. However, if there is no significant down side to failure, there isn’t much of a reason to succeed either. When you decide you will succeed, drive, determination, and discipline are utilized to make it happen. Drive is the force which gets you moving. Drive causes you to break free from the inertia which acts to keep you in the same place. Determination enables you to keep going in spite of obstacles. It provides the impetus to get back up whenever you stumble or fall. Determination enables you to transform setbacks into comebacks. Discipline keeps you moving forward even when the going becomes mundane, tedious, or boring. Discipline creates the mental focus needed to avoid distractions in order to stay on track. Discipline gives you the fortitude to do what you need to do so you can maintain forward progress toward your goals. Proper planning is one of the steps required for accomplishment. Hit or miss attempts based on guessing or misinformation have little chance of success. Knowing the proper sequence of steps required in

order to reach a specific destination is essential. Accurate information is obtained by thoroughly researching how others have attained the same goals you are targeting. Further study of successful people reveals effective strategies they used to solve problems and overcome obstacles. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Learn from others who are where you want to be. How long it takes to reach your destination is irrelevant. Time goes by regardless of what you are doing. All that matters is your forward momentum. Keep taking one step after another until you are where you want to be. Never allow negative criticism from others deter you. The success of your life is not dependent on anyone else’s approval. Opinions as to why what you are doing won’t succeed are of no value. All you need is just one reason why you will reach your goals. “I will do it,” is what you should always tell yourself.

Is Trans-Pacific Partnership bad news for workers, women? By Martha Burk President Barack Obama has insisted up and down that he’s willing to work with the Republicans who are taking over the Senate. He proved it during his recent visit to Beijing, where he urged world leaders to come to agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) — a longtime priority of soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. What’s the TPP, you ask? It’s a giant trade agreement between the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim nations — including Australia, Japan, and Malaysia, among others — now being negotiated in secret. Well, mostly in secret. Around 600 corporations and a few labor unions with stakes in the talks have seen a draft. Except for a few chapters released by WikiLeaks last year, Congress and the public have not. But here’s what we do know: This socalled “partnership” is an insult to U.S. workers. And it’s especially bad news for women. According to Doctors Without Borders, for example, the agreement’s intellectual property clauses could cut off access to generic drugs for people living with HIV/ AIDS — who are increasingly women and kids. And the Communications Workers of America union says the pact will make it easier for corporations to outsource majority-female jobs — not only in low-wage workplaces such as call centers, but also higher-wage sectors like human resources. So it’s no surprise that women in Congress have been leading the opposition to the TPP for some time. In the House, Democrats Rosa DeLauro and Louise Slaughter pointed out in a forceful Los Angeles Times op-ed that the

Guest Editorial agreement would force Americans to compete against workers from extremely lowwage countries. It would also, they argued, roll back environmental standards and U.S. laws that protect food and drug safety. In the Senate, Democrat Elizabeth Warren has expressed worries that the secretive agreement could weaken financial regulations. She opposed the appointment of Michael Froman as the U.S. trade

representative — a job that has made him the chief arbiter of the treaty-making process — because he flatly stated his opposition to more transparency in the negotiations. And there’s another little-known provision. Under the proposed rules, businesses incorporated in TPP countries — any of them — would be guaranteed equal treatment with U.S. firms when bidding on government contracts. That means our tax dollars could go to underwriting companies in countries like Brunei, which imprisons unmarried women for getting pregnant and allows the stoning of gays and lesbians. I’m all for cooperation in government,

A better choice? To the editor: Many years ago on Nevada Street in East Toledo, where I grew up, our next-door neighbors had a septic system for their sewage. One day, a City of Toledo inspector came to their home to notify them that their septic system was no longer allowed. Why? Because it was not sanitary. According to the city, no septic systems in the city were allowed. To come to the point of my story, some very brilliant politicians (or group of dumb-dumbs) decided that putting our toilet waste into a system of underground pipes and sending this disgusting material out to the lake that is the source of our drinking water was a better alternative to a septic system. That, my friends is “sanitary.” Hello – guess what we’re drinking.

This is a better choice than putting our slop into a concrete box and letting it fertilize our lawns? What a shame. Who were these mental giants? Larry Erard Oregon

Silk Stockings: Legitimate lingerie or adult entertainment? The exits on The Nostalgia Highway are at 10-year increments. Enjoy the trip through the pages of The Press.

December, 2004 News: Former Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner told River East Associates, “We should do a new sports arena, but only when the time comes that a developer can make money doing it. It should not be done on the skinny. It isn’t critical whether it’s on the east or west side of the river, for a new sports arena we need a private developer — and we shouldn’t get hung up as to where it’s going to happen.”

*** Once again the City of Toledo has announced a developer for the Marina District: The Pizzuti Companies of Columbus. Ronald A. Pizzuti, CEO and Chairman of The Pizzuti Companies, and Toledo Mayor Jack Ford said the city would provide financing only for infrastructure and purchases needed for completion of the project, while Pizzuti’s team could finance and design the entire development, which does not necessarily include a new sports arena. Ford had inherited the project when he first came into office in 2001. A new term was also affectionately added by officials to describe the Marina District, “The Upper East Side.”

three years and raised $17,000 to purchase additional displays. The city took it over after the International Park Board failed to meet revenue expectations for the tall ships exhibit earlier in the year. The city admitted it didn’t have enough workers to man the ticket booth, so officials reduced the number of displays and opened the exhibit free of charge. Sports: Waite Girls’ basketball team, led by Tatyana McNeal and Shareese Ulis, was 6-0. Price check: Lee Williams, Oregon, sold a honey glazed boneless baked ham for $3.89 lb. Hot then, gone now: The Sweet Feed Company, Oregon.

*** About 100 parishioners attended an evening prayer session in hopes of convincing Bishop Leonard Blair not to close St. Louis Church in East Toledo. Bishop Blair cited low attendance at area churches and a lack of priests for the closing of the church which opened in 1871. Helping Hands of St. Louis, a food kitchen for the poor, would continue operating.

News: Lake Township officials were researching whether a lingerie store could be called a neighborhood business for purposes of rezoning. Officials were concerned that the proposed business, Silk Stockings, would be similar to six Toledo businesses that were shut down by government officials. They alleged the primary business was not selling lingerie, but modeling it. That would be adult entertainment, they contended. Sports: Two Cardinal Stritch runners, Erin Donley and Rachel Standley, were chosen by the World Sports Exchange to represent the United States in a road race and a cross country race in London

*** Questions were raised about the City of Toledo’s ability to manage the drive-through Christmas lights display at International Park. The display had averaged 7,000 to 8,000 customers a year for

Museum presenting 95th Artists Exhibition The work of some of this region’s finest artists takes the spotlight at the 95th Toledo Area Artists (TAA) Exhibition, which runs through Jan. 4, 2015 at the Toledo Museum of Art. Seventy-three works will be on view in the Museum’s Canaday Gallery. The free exhibition, one of the few remaining shows of its kind in the nation, continues a TMA tradition of celebrating and recognizing the best work by artists in the region. Artists submitted portfolios digitally to have their work considered for exhibition. Twenty-eight artists were selected after a review of 462 portfolios entered. Exhibition curator Halona Norton-Westbrook, Ph.D., a Mellon Fellow at the Museum, conducted studio visits to select which works would appear in the show. This year, a total $10,000 in prizes was presented by the Museum. Los Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight served as this year’s juror. Norton-Westbrook said the public will see strikingly different work created by artists at different stages in their careers and in different mediums. Artists include Andrew Borowiec of Akron; Dennis Wojtkiewicz of Bowling Green; Charles Mintz of Cleveland; Corrie Slawson of Cleveland Heights; Laura Alexander, Molly Jo Burke, Leah Frankel, Nathan Gorgen and Andrea Myers, all of Columbus; Jefferson Nelson of Liberty Center; Julie Friedman of Medina; Sandra

“

She is the ‘go to girl.’ When we needed a point we would give the ball to Lauren.

OK, we admit it — you can’t have a volleyball team with nothing but defensive players. You would probably not score many points without anyone at the net. You would have a bunch of players lined up along the back line, most wearing their libero uniforms, and since setters and liberos often lack the height of front line hitters, everyone would be about 5-foot-6, more or less. However, this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press First Team is mostly defensive specialists and liberos. Why? Because, according to league and district voting, that is the strength that the 10 teams on this side of town bring to the court, at least for this season. Two of the three All-Press Co-Player of the Year selections are liberos — Eastwood senior Jaci Juergens and St. Ursula sophomore Jamye Cox. Juergens was also Division II POY for the Northwest Ohio District and Cox is a first team All-Ohio Division I selection. Cox, a 5-foot-3 sophomore, has committed to playing Big Ten volleyball at Michigan State. The Arrows were 28-0 when they lost to second-ranked, defending state champion Cincinnati Mount Notre Dame Academy (27-2) in the state semifinals at Wright State University in Dayton. The Cougars went on to claim their recordtying eighth state title. Juergens is a four-year starter and has been a first team All-NBC and all-district setter all four years. She was the leader of a young Eastwood team on the court. The Eagles started four freshmen and still finished as league runner-up behind Otsego. “Jaci Juergens is a four-year starter for us at setter, and she has really helped the younger girls feel comfortable and not worry about their mistakes,” Eastwood coach Jeff Beck said. “She’ll set them. They’ll make a mistake, and she’ll set them again. She’s helped them gain confidence. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know how they would’ve gained that game-confidence.”

The third All-Press Co-POY is Cardinal Stritch Catholic junior Lauren Loucks, who does have power at the net but also plays setter and defense well. She was also first team all-district, first team All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference, league player of the year and team MVP. “She is the ‘go to girl,’” Stritch coach Tracy Donnelly said. “When we needed a point we would give the ball to Lauren. She would get a kill just under 50 percent of the time. She was our leader on the court and she proved it with her performance. She is an unbelievable hitter. “The Calvert coach said she hits the ball like a freight train. Her hitting is very impressive, but just as important is her defense. Lauren worked on her back row skills and also added to the team defensively this year. She is an amazing hitter and a wonderful young lady.”

Six of the 10 first team All-Press selections are liberos or defensive specialists — all recognized by their league or in all-district voting. There are only two pure front line hitters — Clay seniors Grace Winckowski and Brooke Gyori. Three are setters, with one setter doubling as a defensive specialist. Six first team selections live in Oregon — three Clay players and three SUA players, all of whom compete in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. That accounts for 60 percent of the All-Press first team. For finishing second in the TRAC regular season standings behind nationally-ranked St. Ursula, Clay coach Dave Conley is the All-Press Coach of the Year. The Eagles were third in the TRAC tournament, losing to Central Catholic, a team the Eagles defeated during the regular season, in the conference semifinal.

The Press Box Once powerhouse

Cardinal Stritch cancels 2014-15 wrestling season By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com For the first time since their days as a state perennial powerhouse in wrestling, Cardinal Stritch Catholic will not offer the sport this winter due to lack of participation. Athletic Director Craig Meinzer says he hopes dropping wrestling is not permanent, adding it was not a funding issue. Meinzer said if as many as 10 potential wrestlers seek to participate next year, Stritch will have a wrestling team. During its heyday, Stritch wrestling won eight Toledo City League championships competing against the likes of St. Francis DeSales, Central Catholic and St. John’s Jesuit. The Cardinals were state runners-up four times, won a Class AA state championship in 1985 and had 11 individual state champions. Even more spectacular was the fact that for each of 28 consecutive years, at least one Stritch wrestler qualified for the state tournament. Longtime teacher and coach Bob Reynolds once told The Press, “A lot has to do with the type of kids who came here from East Toledo, Genoa and Oregon. Just tough kids.” The Cardinals consistently pulled together undefeated dual seasons, losing only on occasion to other state powerhouse teams and competing head on against programs like Bedford (Mich.) and Lakewood St. Edward. Gymnasiums would often be sold out when Stritch wrestled these pro-

Genoa eighth graders finish undefeated

The Genoa eighth grade football team went undefeated to win the Northern Buckeye Conference championship. The Comets defeated Oak Harbor (18-12), Woodmore (38-8), Rossford (44-0), Eastwood (38-0), Fostoria (58-12), Lake (36-8), Otsego (3214) and Elmwood (58-0). Team members are Jake Plantz (2), Jake Bradfield (6), Shawn Streight (10), Caleb McGeorge (12), Joey Dominique (21), Malik Bankston (23), Antonio Jeffries (34), Jacob Stewart (36), Mason Lucas (44), Justin Shaffer (51), Nathan Lewis (53), Christian Aranda (56), Brian Martin (61), Josh McCoy (64), Noah Koch (65), Alex Duran (66), Emiliano Reyes (71), Bailey Adams (74), Brayden Bloomfield (76), A.J. Helle (79), Jason Lipps (82), Josh Vischer (87) and Zach Langenderfer (89). Coaches are Bob Bergman and Brandon Roberts. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) grams. In 1982, Stritch posted an 11-0 dual season, defeating Bedford, which was Class A (big school) state champions in Michigan that same year. Stritch was runner-up in Class AA in Ohio that year, finishing behind Bedford Chanel 100½ to 95½. The first individual state champion was Pat Curley, who won 20 consecutive matches and won the state final in 1967 with a pin. Other state champs were Jim Bergman (1971), Paul Luther (1973 and 1974), Brian Haynes (finished 32-0-1 in 1975), Terry Reeves (finished 22-6-1 in 1976), Dave Talbott (138, the team sent seven to state in 1977), Jim Derr (126, 1978 was the third consecutive year he qualified), Fred Ackerman (1983, finished 32-0-1), Jim Reindel (finished 33-1 at 119 in 1984), and Scott Zapadka (finished 30-3 at 98 in 1987). When Stritch won the Class AA title in 1985, just four seniors and two juniors qualified for Columbus. There were no individual championships, but the Cardinals tallied 83 points to lead all other teams.

Genoa picked second At the Northern Buckeye Conference wrestling coaches meeting, Genoa was picked to finish second behind pre-season favorite Otsego. Genoa will seek its third straight NBC championship after winning team titles in 2013 and 2014. Returning individual NBC champions for the Comets include seniors Jay Nino and Tyler Baird. Otsego, which returns one state placer, garnered six first place votes and 59 total points, while Genoa, which returns three state qualifiers and two state placers, got one first place vote and 53 points. Elmwood got the other first place and 45 points, and they were followed by Rossford (43), Eastwood (37), Woodmore (21), Fostoria (16) and Lake (13). The NBC dual season starts December 9 and continues Dec. 16, Jan 6 and Jan 13. The NBC championships will be held at Fostoria High School on February 7.

Clay seeking to be in mix with fast-paced offense By Press Sports Staff sports@presspublications.com An overall lack of size, something Clay has had to deal with for the last several years, will force the Eagles to rely on picking up the pace on offense and capitalize on an aggressive defense, according to Coach Corey Slovak. “Our keys to success will rely on us setting a fast-paced tempo,” he said. “Rebounding will be a challenge, so one big key to winning is our pressure defense. If we can get out and pressure teams, force them to play full court, we give ourselves a chance to be competitive every game. Offensively, playing mostly guards, transition offense and shooting are very important for us. We’ll need to take advantage of our quickness and dribble-drive attacks with our guards, and at the same time minimize turnovers.” The Eagles return a veteran squad, with returning starters Morgan Connor, Hannah Hess, Sam Enck and Haley Orr. Haley Hess, the first player off the bench last season who basically played starter’s minutes, also returns. Slovak said the Three Rivers Athletic Conference should be a three-team dogfight between Notre Dame Academy, Central Catholic and Lima Senior. “There is never an easy night in TRAC competition, but Notre Dame is the champ and they have to be considered league favorites until someone knocks them off,” Slovak said. “Central Catholic will be very good again with their combination of size, quickness at point guard and good shooters. Lima Senior is returning two of the top five scorers in the league, so they will be a tough matchup also.” At Waite, with the graduation of Latesha Craig (12 points, 7.7 rebounds), Taylor Works (11.5 pts., 11.5 reb.), both of whom were Division I, District 7 honorable mention selections, and Yatiah Caldwell (10.8 pts., 5.4 reb.), the Indians will have to replace a lot of production — a total of 34.3 points and 24.6 rebounds per game. Fortunately, Waite coach Manny May has some players capable of replacing some of that. In the City League, May sees Rogers, which has stormed through the league for three consecutive undefeated seasons, as the primary threat to win it again. The Rams, though, did lose six seniors, some of whom went on to play at NCAA Division I colleges. On top of playing in a league filled with talented, athletic teams, the Indians are used to scheduling difficult opponents in the non-conference slate, something May believes will help them to improve over the long haul. “You’ve always got to count Rogers as the top team,” he said. “With the talent that comes through there, they’ve got a winning program. Start is pretty good, too. It’s interesting to see where everybody stacks up at this point. Any given night, if you don’t prepare, you can be beaten. But if you can handle pressure and do what you want to do, you can win games.” Comets start five veterans Genoa coach Mike DeStazio said the Comets will be difficult to defend based on the fact that they will be able to put five ball-handlers on the floor at one time. He said rebounding could be a potential trouble area. “As the season goes on, we will become

players, too. “There may be some growing pains and some unforced errors due to adrenaline and overzealousness, but I expect confidence and results to develop right away,” he said. “Our sophomores and juniors have proven themselves more than worthy of producing at the varsity level. Despite the inexperience, I’m looking forward to witnessing a certain level of maturity in how they handle themselves on the court.”

Genoa guard Haley Pickard drives against Eastwood guard Mackenzie Albright last year. (Press file photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos. smugmug. com) a very good perimeter team,” DeStazio said. “We’re going to have to play up-tempo basketball because of our size, and there might be times where we won’t have anybody on the floor over 5-6. On defense, we have to stress finding somebody and boxing out.” Eastwood second-year coach Lindsay Ross admits that while the Eagles won’t be the tallest or biggest team around, they will be fast and they expect to be able to transition from defense to offense very quickly. The Eagles dipped to just three wins last season after a seven-win campaign the previous year. “We have great guards and outside shooters who will help us on the scoring end,” Ross said. “As far as the defensive end, we have to be well conditioned because our key players will be seeing a lot of court time.” Ross said Genoa, the preseason coaches’ favorite, and Rossford are the top teams in the NBC. “Genoa does a nice job running the floor,” Ross said. “I think Rossford will be the team to beat. They were underestimated in the preseason poll. They have some great athletes who run the floor well, they have nice outside shooters and a good inside game. It should be a good year for the NBC.” The loss of Allie Wank would hurt any team, and it’s definitely going to affect her alma mater, Woodmore. The former allleague and all-district forward, who averaged 14.6 points and 6.1 rebounds last season, graduated and left a huge void that must be filled. However, senior Mackenzie Johnson is

For team previews see Second Section ready to step in and take on that challenge. The 5-9 forward, who averaged 10.9 points and 5.5 rebounds in 2013-14, will have to supply plenty of scoring for the Wildcats. Woodmore coach Kyle Clair says that she’s up for the challenge. “I think she has been looking forward to this season for a long time,” Clair said. She has been a varsity player for four years and each year, improvement has been shown. We expect the best Mackenzie Johnson has to offer as she prepares for her senior season. With such an inexperienced group, Clair is relying on the veterans he has to lead the way. “We lost significant scoring and rebounding, so I think (the seniors) understand that some of that has to be taken care of by them and it has to be done consistently,” he said. “For myself and the younger and inexperienced players on this team, it’s more important that they demonstrate strong leadership and a team-first behavior on and off the court. They must bring high intensity and effort during our practices and lead by example through their actions.” However, Clair is also expecting plenty out of his younger, more inexperienced

New coaches at Gibsonburg, Stritch Of the three local Toledo Area Athletic Conference schools, the only coach who returns is Bill Hamilton at Northwood. Right now, he is happy with what he is seeing. “They like what they’re doing, and that’s so key; it’s pretty positive right now,” Hamilton said. “So far, we’ve done pretty well in scrimmages. We’re pretty excited. We put in some new things this year to try and increase our wins. Hopefully, with what we’ve decided to do, we’ll be in good shape. It’s been a building process for all of us, we take it a step at a time. We’re making some positive strides — we’re adding a little more this year with the personnel willing to step up and make that effort. “Our goals are to be better than we were last season. That’s really the whole emphasis of this year — every game, we’re playing to be better than we were last year. They know that, and I think they’re ready. We’re pretty excited about what’s happening with our team. They’re looking forward to the season.” Northwood’s non-conference slate includes games with Lake, Genoa, North Baltimore, Monclova Christian and Fostoria St. Wendelin. Ottawa Hills, who shared the league title with Toledo Christian last season, is expected to be the top team in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, according to Hamilton. “Ottawa Hills is the favorite,” he said. “They have some really nice players. They play really well together, have senior leadership and are strong underneath. TC lost quite a bit. I think Stritch could be there, I think Danbury could be there. Gibsonburg has a new coach and Stritch has a new coach. There are all kinds of things happening around the league. The team that I know nothing about is Tiffin Calvert, they’re new to the league. Despite the fact that Hamilton has implemented some changes, he believes that his club will be better off in the long run. “With the fact that we have put in a lot of new stuff this year, there are always going to be trials and tribulations,” he said. “They’re working hard. We’ve added a few new things to our game, and we may struggle with it, but in the end, we’ll be better off.” First-year Gibsonburg coach Courtney Schuster takes over for John Ernsthausen after coaching the Fremont Ross freshman team the past two seasons. This is her first season as a varsity head coach. “I’m extremely excited,” said Schuster, who played basketball and soccer at Lake Catholic High School in Mentor. “This has been my dream since I played in high school, to coach at the varsity level. Two years ago, I knew I wasn’t ready for it. I learned a lot from (varsity) coach Juan Vela at Ross. (Press Sports Editor J. Patrick Eaken and writers Mark Griffin, Yaneek Smith, and Jeffrey D.

Lake, Gibsonburg, Waite seeking league hardware By Press Sports Staff sports@presspublications.com Lake will likely be the favorite to win the Northern Buckeye Conference title for the third time in four years. Two of last year’s top teams, Rossford and Eastwood, lost a combined nine players, all of them contributors, so there could be some movement in the conference. Few coaches are denying that Lake and Rossford will be the teams to beat in the NBC, but there is some disparity about who follows them. For example, Eastwood coach Matt Routson says Lake, Rossford and Genoa are the favorites in the NBC race. “Lake has outstanding players returning and will be very difficult to beat this season,” he said. “Rossford also has some experience returning and should be solid, and Genoa is returning players who have a lot of experience.” However, first-year Genoa coach Zach Alt said the top teams in the NBC this season should include Lake, Rossford and Eastwood, leaving out his own team just as Routson did. No one wants a bulls-eye on their back. “They always field strong teams and they have a lot of key players back,” Alt said about the three teams he mentioned. To counter Lake and other team’s highscoring offenses, Ault added that there will be a strong focus on holding down the opponents’ scoring. “I can’t speak to if we will be or won’t be a good defensive team,” Alt said, “but there is certainly a strong focus on it this year. It is our full intent to make our opponent earn every point that goes on the scoreboard. Offensively, we plan to be efficient. We want the continuity offense to create opportunities for our players to make plays and ultimately finish with high-percentage shots.” No one mentioned Woodmore, yet, but maybe that is because the Wildcats will have their work cut out for themselves. For Woodmore, four of the first five games come outside the Northern Buckeye Conference, and they’re winnable, meaning Woodmore has a chance to start the season with a good record before getting into the heart of league play. They must replace 19 points per game worth of production, part of which was supplied by two players that stood 6-5. Expect forward Drew Lewandowski, one of seven seniors on the team, to lead the way. Lewandowski, one of two returning starters for Woodmore, stands 6-foot-4 and possesses the ability to score from both the inside and the outside. And because of his height, he’ll be expected to guard players in the post. “We are expecting a lot of out Drew this year,” Woodmore first-year coach Aaron Clouse said. “We are expecting him to be very versatile. He will play on the outside and the inside and will defend a post most games. His skill set matches well with what we expect from him. Drew will have a very good year because of his ability to play multiple positions and will continue to play a large role in our offense.” Bears looking to contend Gibsonburg coach Brent Liskai said the TAAC title race could come down to a handful of teams, including Gibsonburg, Toledo Christian, Cardinal Stritch and Ottawa Hills. “The league will once again be very

We will need to team rebound and develop our bench as the season goes on. We will be a competitive team every night out. “Our seniors will lead us,” Liskai cointinued. “We will be very competitive, with a mix of five seniors and an athletic group of underclassmen. Our offense runs through Jordan (Kreglow),” Liskai said. “He makes good decisions and he’s one of the better point guards I’ve coached. He can score and is a really good passer. He worked as hard on his game in the offseason as anybody.” Hoping to say something about that is some new coaching blood in the neighborhood. Jamie Kachmarik, who takes over for David Rieker as the Cardinal Stritch Catholic head coach, has 16 years of coaching experience at Bowling Green State University, Ohio State, Appalachian State and Coastal Carolina. He was an assistant at Perrysburg last year. “My biggest goal in taking over this basketball program is changing the culture for Cardinal Stritch basketball,” Kachmarik said. “Our players have really bought into the system by really putting in the time to work on becoming better basketball players in the offseason.” Stritch features a veteran team of six seniors and four juniors, “After a 16-year Division I college coaching career, it is really refreshing to work with a great group of young players who want to learn every day and are hungry for success on the court,” Kachmarik said. “The players in our program have been asked to do many new things and they have really done a nice job of working at those tasks. Strength and conditioning demands have been put on our kids, and they have done a good job of challenging themselves to get better in this area.” Because of the team’s lack of size,

For team previews see Second Section Northwood will have to utilize their athleticism to try and gain an advantage on their opponents. “We’re going to try and get up and down the floor because we do have some depth,” Coach Jim Scharer said. “Shooting is not one of our strong suits. We’re going to try and get as many good shots close to the basket. I would like to run and get up and down. “Defensively, we’re going to mix in (zone and man-to-man). Against teams that I think we have a chance to turn over, we’ll use the full-court press when we can. But our guards are so small, so they can throw it right over you.” Scharer appears to have succeeded on the first step — getting the kids to buy in. “I have great kids,” he said. “We work very hard. If you came to practice last year, you’d never know (we were struggling). I’ve sold them on this as a two to three year process. I don’t think I’d have 21 kids in our program if they didn’t buy in. “You have to learn how to compete and you have to learn how to win close games. We’re in a rebuilding process. This is program that needs some nurturing.” As far as the TAAC is concerned, Scharer expects the league to be good, but not quite as good as it was last year. Ottawa Hills, which won the league and advanced to the Division IV regional semifinals, lost four key players. Toledo Christian and Gibsonburg lost some key players as well. “I’m looking for Toledo Christian and Gibsonburg to be at the top, and Ottawa Hills and Cardinal Stritch to battle it out

for the third and fourth spots,” he said. “Maumee Valley could be decent, and I don’t know anything about Tiffin Calvert. I don’t think the league will be as good, especially the top tier.” Waite has size, athleticism The rebuilding process is in full swing under third-year Waite coach Adam Rodriguez. In his second year at Waite, Rodriguez’s club improved from three to seven wins, and this year’s squad returns a number of experienced players who’ve endured their growing pains and are primed to take that next step. Rodriguez believes this players’ commitment to getting better during the offseason will be the primary reason for them taking the program to the next level. Four of his players competed in the AAU circuit, “We probably played 40 to 50 games in June during shootouts at UT, BG, Siena Heights University, Rossford and Central Catholic, and we were in a league at St. Francis,” Rodriguez said. “Eric Neal and Alec Heslet had tremendous summers. They’re turning into our leaders, and they’re our top returning scorers. Both of them have grown two three inches, they’re about 6-2. We’re going to lean on them heavily to win some games.” Last season, a number of younger players gained experience, something Rodriguez believes will soon pay off. “When we lost (leading scorer) Taywyn (Mason) last year, guys like Chris (Johnson), Alec (Heslet) and Eric (Neal), all sophomores, had to play good varsity minutes,” Rodriguez said. “We’re going to have a lot of juniors that have played a full year of varsity basketball. We’re expecting some big things this year.” (Press Sports Editor J. Patrick Eaken and writers Mark Griffin, Yaneek Smith, and Jeffrey D. Norwalk contributed to this story and basketball previews.)

In addition to meeting all standards of a four-star rating, programs with a five-star rating may have lower staff/child ratios; use child assessment results to plan activities that best support learning and development goals for each child; develop plans to support children as they transition to a new classroom or educational setting; work with other organizations or businesses within the community to support children and their families; have an active and organized parent volunteer group and use input from families and community partners to form the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continuous improvement process. Educare operates multiple locations in the Toledo area. The centers on Navarre in Oregon and at Starr and Main in East Toledo were among those which earned the five star status. Educare also is remodeling a building in Northwood which will be its 10th center.

eek: Changing Our Outlook should ask ourselves how we view the universe and our place in it. Do we see it as a hostile or a friendly universe? This is perhaps the most fundamental question in determining our perspective on life, and we would do well to consider that God is in control and that events are unfolding exactly as they should, despite external appearances to the contrary. Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. R.S.V. James 1:2-3

The Chamber Bright Stars for 2014 were recognized Oct. 29 at the seventh annual Chamber Bright Star Awards presentation of the Northern Ohio Area Chambers of Commerce (NOACC), held at the Hard Rock Rocksino in Northfield, Ohio. More than 50 chambers of commerce across northern Ohio nominated a person from their chamber as their “Bright Star,” to recognize a chamber member who has made a significant impact on the chamber through membership, retention, sponsorship, economic development, operations and/or education. Cheryl Grosjean of Genoa Custom Interiors and the Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce Bright Star 2014, accepted a certificate and trophy from Tony Gallo, NOACC chairman and president of the Lorain County Chamber at the presentation. “Our volunteers are the common bond in each chamber,” said Tony Gallo, NOACC chairman. “Giving recognition to our Bright Star in a public way lets our membership and community know we appreciate the time, talent and treasure that they provided.”

The Ottawa County Historical society is offering two professionally framed, numbered Ben Richmond prints for sale to the general public. The prints are offered below retail at $195 each, and all proceeds will benefit the historical society’s Keeper’s House living history project, now in its 25th year. The print depicts the uniform of first Marblehead Lighthousekeeper, Benajah Wolcott, on a chair by the Keeper’s House window, with Wolcott’s fiddle next to it. The other print, Holiday Hearth, shows the Keeper’s House fireplace decorated with pine garlands for the holidays, and a blazing fire on the hearth. The frames measure approximately 27 x 30. For more information, call Bill Coder at 419-798-5832.

More than 270 community members ﬁlled the Perrysburg Graystone Banquet Hall Nov. 8 to support Wood County Special Olympics at their Annual Prime Rib and Crab Fest. Attendees included local community members, Special Olympic athletes and their families and Wood Lane Board members and staff. “This is a fun event, supporting a great program; I always make it a priority to be here,” said State Rep. Tim

Brown, who has attended the event every year since it began 17 years ago. Wood County Special Olympics Coordinator Mary Sehmann thanked the community for its continued support for Special Olympics, which currently provides more than 450 youth and adults the opportunity to participate in yearround sports training and competition. The Wood County program is operated through Wood Lane (Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities.) Entertainment at the event was provided in-kind by local musician and songwriter Tim Concannon. Other highlights of the night included a silent auction and live auction, with several of the live auction items made by the athletes. The event was a tremendous success, with over $16,500 raised to support Wood County Special Olympics.

THE PRESS, DECEMBER 1, 2014

Hi, my name is Mr. Thomas Rumbles and I am looking for a forever home. My foster family named me Thomas because I am going to be a big Tom Cat someday and Rumbles because when I am happy my purr is so loud it makes my crate rumble. My fur is soft, fluffy and black except for a white patch on my belly. I am very gentle and cuddly and crave non-stop attention and even come when I am called. I am scared of dogs so a home without any would be best for me! I will make a great family pet! I am 6 months old and am only $25 which pays for my neutering and my favorite toys. If interested please contact Stephanie at 419-266-2292.

***REWARD*** LOST: ALL BLACK CAT Answers to Spooky Tina (said in a high pitched voice) Short haired, 2 yr. old female, has a high pitched cracked meow, Went missing in Rossford 7/28, Please tell family and friends... She is very sweet and loving... We miss her very much and just want to know her fate! She is Microchipped. Please call: Stephanie at 419-266-2292 with any tips or information.

Adams, fellow seniors, hope to stand out Stritch girls prepare to take next step Coach: Jamie Kachmarik first season Last year: 9-14 (7-7, TAAC) Key players: Austin Adams, 6-6, Sr., F; Brandon Payeff, 5-10, Sr., PG; Joe Sinay, 6-2, Sr., F; Chris Blazevich, 6-1, Sr., G; Ed Uher, 6-5, Sr., F; Bobby Romstadt, 6-3, Sr., F; Trent Besgrove, 5-7, Jr., PG; Adam Bruckner, 6-1, Jr., F; Kevin Hohenberger, 6-1, Jr, F; Andrew Cousino, 6-0, Jr., W; Stephen Johnson, 5-10, So., W. Preview: Stritch will be led by first-team All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference selection Austin Adams, who averaged 20.1 points and eight rebounds as a junior. The 6-foot-6 Adams scored a career-high 44 points in a single game last year, breaking the school record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Austin again will be one of the top players not only in the TAAC but also in Northwest Ohio,â&#x20AC;? Kachmarik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has become a great leader on this team and has made a commitment to the weight room, which has really improved his allaround game.â&#x20AC;? The rest of the Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seniors will be asked to provide leadership and improve on their scoring totals from last season. Point guard Brandon Payeff averaged 2.1 points per game, while power forward Joe Sinay averaged 2.8. Shooting guard Chris Blazevich (1.4 ppg.) and forwards Ed Uher (1.3 ppg.) and Bobby Romstadt all

averaged less than two points a game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The six seniors bring leadership and experience to our team,â&#x20AC;? Kachmarik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These seniors will have a very important role in our system this season.â&#x20AC;? Junior Trent Besgrove, who sat out last season after transferring from Lake, will compete at the point guard position and add depth to the backcourt. Kachmarik said juniors Adam Bruckner and Kevin Hohenberger will bring energy and effort to the frontcourt, and junior Andrew Cousino and sophomore Stephen Johnson will add depth at the wing positions.

Coach: Cathy Hanek, first season Last year: 10-14 (8-6, TAAC) Key players: CeCe Gozdowski, 5-10, Sr., F; Jettie Moore, 5-8, Jr., G; Abby Cronin, 5-8, Jr., G; Kama Hardy, 5-8, Jr., G/F; Kali Hardy, 5-6, Jr., G Preview: CeCe Gozdowski is Stritchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading returning scorer, averaging 11.8 points and 9.7 rebounds a game as a junior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What she lacks in size she makes up with in strength,â&#x20AC;? Hanek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect her to emerge as a leader on both ends of the floor. We will look to run much of our offense through her. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably our most talented player.â&#x20AC;? Kali Hardy and Kama Hardy averaged six and five points a game, respectively, a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kali is an energy kid,â&#x20AC;? Hanek said. A super hard worker, especially on the defensive end of the floor. She is a scrappy player and I expect Kali to set the tone defensively for us on the outside. Kama is a finesse player who can play inside and outside. She has been improving her shot in the preseason and shooting it with a lot more confidence. She runs the floor well and is a solid rebounder on both ends of the floor.â&#x20AC;? Two other key players will be Jettie Moore and Abby Cronin. Moore and Cronin saw plenty of game action last year and both averaged around three points per game.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jettie is very similar to Kali,â&#x20AC;? Hanek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scrappy and not afraid to stick her nose in there. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very solid defensively, with great anticipation skills. I expect her to be a vocal leader for us on both ends of the floor. Abby is one of our better shooters and overall scorers. She has a nose for the ball and I expect her to take on more of a role for us offensively.â&#x20AC;? Hanek added that the biggest key to a successful season will hinge on how well the Cardinals play defensively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little undersized and some teams in our league have some size,â&#x20AC;? the coach said.

Clay basketball rebuilding once again Veteran squad returns for Clay girls Coach: Rob Belegrin, sixth season Last year: 3-19 (1-11, TRAC) Key players: Tyler Mildenberger, Sr., G; Steven Nguyen, 5-10, Jr., G; Garyck Hahn, 6-4, Jr., F; Chris Walter, 6-3, Jr., G; Nate Bush, 6-1, So., F; Christian Orr, 5-10, So., G; Josh Kiss, 6-0, So., G Preview: Tyler Mildenberger is the only returning player with much varsity experience. Mildenberger averaged 1.2 points a game last season. “He will provide leadership to a young team,” Belegrin said. “He has the ability to hit the outside shot.” Because of their lack of size, the Eagles will have to be a guard-oriented team. Three players in particular, Garyck Hahn, Nate Bush and Chris Walter, will have to hold their own in the paint. “Garyck can both post up and step away from the basket,” Belegrin said. “He has a solid outside game and is good from the foul line. We look for him to be a scorer. Nate will bring good intensity and a defensive presence, and he will be solid on the glass.” The 6-3 Walter, who is listed as a guard, will be asked to score and help Hahn and Bush on the boards. “Chris is a capable 3-point shooter who can get his shot off quickly,” Belegrin said.

Clay’s primary ball handler will be junior Steven Nguyen, a first-year varsity player who, according to Belegrin, “has a solid outside game.” The Eagles should also get productivity out of sophomores Christian Orr and Josh Kiss, who was the quarterback on the football team. “Christian is solid defensively and plays with great energy and effort,” Belegrin said. “He’s also good on the boards. Josh has the ability to hit the open shot, but is better driving the ball to the rim. He’s also a solid rebounder.”

Coach: Corey Slovak Last year: 14-10 (8-6, TRAC) Key players: Morgan Connor, 5-7, Sr., G; Samantha Enck, 5-5, Sr., G; Haley Hess, 5-6, Jr., PG; Hannah Hess, 5-8, Jr., F; Hannah Novak, 5-6, Sr., G; Haley Orr, 5-6, Sr., G; Maddison Grimes, 5-8, Sr., F. Preview: Connor averaged 13.6 points and four rebounds a game a year ago and has been Clay’s leading scorer the past two seasons. She is a third-year varsity player, but Slovak said the guard will be out until December with an ACL injury. “She is a 3-point shooting threat and will need to provide leadership when she returns,” Slovak said. Hannah Novak will start in Morgan’s spot. “Hannah is one of the smartest basketball IQs we have on the team,” Slovak said. “We’ll need her to help with scoring, rebounding and defending as well as lean on her leadership.” Haley Hess also scored 13.6 points a game and led the Eagles in 3-point shooting and free throw shooting percentage. “She will play a key role as our point guard and floor leader,” Slovak said. Hannah Hess averaged 9.9 points last year, followed by Enck (9 ppg.) and Orr (6 ppg.). “We hope Hannah continues to improve off of a great summer season and

preseason,” Slovak said. “She will need to take on a much larger role in both scoring and rebounding this year. Sam is one of our better defenders and will be looked upon to pick up some of the scoring we’ll need to replace Morgan Connor’s production until she comes back. Haley Orr has been a great defender for us, and she will have the role of stopper again this season.” Maddison Grimes and Jessalyn Bohland will give Clay some size and rebounding off the bench.

Eagles reload with youth movement Returning starters bring confidence Coach: Matt Routson Last year: 18-7 (10-4, NBC) Key players: Zach Jacoby, 6-5, Sr., P; Tim Hoodlebrink, 6-2, Sr., G; Jason Fertig, 6-4, Sr., P; Noah Smith, 5-10, Sr., G; Nick Coffman, 5-10, Jr., G; Grant Hirzel, 5-7, Fr., PG Preview: Eastwood returns just one starter this season in senior guard Tim Hoodlebrink, who averaged 5.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, two assists and two steals per game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tim is a very quick, athletic guard,â&#x20AC;? Routson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can also score in the paint. He is our best defender and is a very smart defensive player.â&#x20AC;? Routson said one of the biggest keys this season is to play well on the defensive end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will need to be an aggressive defensive team,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How well we can play on defense will be our most important key to our season. We will also look for scoring from multiple players; we will need to have a balanced attack to be successful. We will need to grow up quickly, as we will have inexperienced varsity players in important roles on our team.â&#x20AC;? Routson said Eastwood will put the ball in the hands of 5-7 freshman point guard Grant Hirzel and see if he can run the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very good ball handler and decision maker,â&#x20AC;? the coach said, adding that seniors Zach Jacoby, Jason Fertig and Noah Smith, and junior Nick Coffman will have

to pull their weight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zach has good height but is also quick,â&#x20AC;? Routson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a very good scorer and has great range. He also finishes well around the basket. Jason played jayvee as a junior, but he spent time in the weight room during the offseason. He is stronger and he moves very well, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smart post player who will rebound for us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noah Smith is a slasher/scorer. He finds a way to get the ball in the basket, and he is also a very good defender. Nick Coffman is a very smart kid who understands the game very well, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good outside shooter.â&#x20AC;?

Boice averaged 11.5 points and Peters averaged nine rebounds, but Ross looks for Albright to run the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mackenzie is our quarterback on the court,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She does a great job seeing the floor and taking care of the basketball in order to set up our offense. We expect her to be more of a scoring threat this year. Reagan is another one of our scoring threats. She was our main scorer last year and we expect the same out of her this year. She does a great job running the floor and attacking the basket. She is fast and agile and will be one of our top defenders.â&#x20AC;? Ross called the 5-9 Peters â&#x20AC;&#x153;our rebounding machine.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She will come out of nowhere and grab the rebound,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With only being a sophomore and averaging nine rebounds last year, we expect that plus more out of her during her junior year. She has done a better job this year controlling her shot, so we expect her to be a scoring threat under the basket as well.â&#x20AC;?

Jennings appears ready to step up her game, according to Ross, who said she should be a more confident player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Krista has really stepped it up this year so far and we have seen a lot of great things out of her,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has impressed us with her ability to attack the basket and be an outside threat on offense. She works extremely hard every day, and we expect her to do great things.â&#x20AC;? Kara Ameling, who plays soccer, has been a surprise, Ross said. She earned varsity time as a freshman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has gained a lot of confidence,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kara is very fast and great on defense.â&#x20AC;?

New coach, new philosophy at Genoa Pickard returns to lead Lady Comets Coach: Zach Alt, first season Last year: 10-14 (7-7, NBC) Key players: Luke Rightnowar, 6-2, Sr., G; Noah Goodrich, 6-4, Sr., P; Amos Kauder, 6-0, Sr., G; Jimmy Heninger, 5-9, Jr., G; Matt Bradfield, 6-1, So., G Preview: The members of the 2014-15 Genoa boys basketball team haven’t had a great deal of success, but they are battle tested. First-year coach Zach Alt, who replaces Keith Diebler, certainly appreciates that. “These players have at least two years of varsity experience,” Alt said. “They have all held large roles on the team. They have the individual skills necessary to compete at the varsity level. Noah Goodrich, Luke Rightnowar and Amos Kauder are developing as leaders and they are determined to lead this program to the next level.” Rightnowar put up All-Northern Buckeye Conference numbers last season, averaging 23.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and three assists a game. “He will have some help in the scoring department this year,” Alt said. “Our offense is a team-oriented attack.” Goodrich was also consistent last season, averaging 10.1 points and 7.8 rebounds, while Kauder averaged 6.5 points, five rebounds and three assists. Jimmy Heninger contributed eight points and five

rebounds a game. Alt said this year’s team will feature a different style of play than Diebler’s Genoa squads, mostly with the pace on offense and the team’s defensive philosophy. “Our commitment to those changes will prove vital in our team success,” Alt said. “The previous philosophy was one that relied heavily on the strength of the full-court press or the three-quarter court trap. The pace was frantic. The number of possessions goal was 80-90 (per game). We will rely more on the strength of our half-court man-to-man defense, rebounding and valuing each possession to get a high-percentage shot.”

This group is a very athletic and quick group. We had a tremendous offseason, which helped us mature quickly. We only have one senior on the team, which means we will still be a young team.” The Comets return seven letter winners led by Haley Pickard, who averaged 16 points and seven rebounds last season. Pickard earned first-team All-NBC and second-team all-district (Division III) honors. Carly Gose averaged just three points and three rebounds a game last year as a sophomore, but she still earned honorable mention all-district honors. Erica Harder, who can play three positions, scored eight

Five seniors lead Golden Bear attack Bears to challenge conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best Coach: Brent Liskai, 13th year Last year: 17-6 (10-4, TAAC) Key players: Jordan Kreglow, 5-11, Sr., PG; Derek Angelone, 6-1, Sr., W; Matt Tille, 6-0, Sr., W; Bryce Ernsthausen, 6-3, Sr., P; T.J. McGough, 6-3, Sr., P Preview: Jordan Kreglow and Bryce Ernsthausen are the only two returning starters for the Golden Bears, who could have an all-senior starting lineup this season. Kreglow, a threeyear starter, averaged 13.6 points and 6.1 assists per game a year ago to earn first-team All-Toledo Area Athletic Conference honors. Gibsonburg finished third in the TAAC. Ernsthausen, who lettered as a sophomore, averaged 7.8 points and 4.2 rebound a game last season, earning honorable mention All-TAAC honors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bryce needs to control the paint and score in the paint for us to be successful.â&#x20AC;? Liskai said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten a lot stronger and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for him to have a big year for us.â&#x20AC;? Derek Angelone started a handful of games last year as a junior and averaged 2.8 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Derek plays on the wing and is a good all-around player, Liskai said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can do a little bit of everything for us. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good

McGough, who averaged just over two points a game last year, will be asked to do the same inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matt is a really good defender and rebounder, just a good leader,â&#x20AC;? Liskai said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be good to have his leadership back on the floor. T.J.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a nice shooting touch for a big guy.

Coach: Courtney Schuster, first season Last year: 6-16 (6-8, TAAC) Key players: Leann Widmer, 5-6, Sr., G; Katy Roberts, 5-7, Jr., G; Shylee Schmeltz, 5-2, So., PG; Allie Peeple, 5-9, So., P; Jenna Lewandowski, 5-10, So., P; Anna Stout, 5-5, Fr., PG Preview: Senior guard Leann Widmer and junior guard Katy Roberts are the only returning players with extensive varsity experience. Shylee Schmeltz saw limited time on the varsity squad. Schuster said Gibsonburg will rely on a motion offense and full-court pressure defense. Schuster called Roberts the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most versatile player and said Schmeltz will be the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;general on the floor.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katy is not tall, but the way she can jump and box out and rebound, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to put her body in front of somebody,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calm and patient. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got her game face, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got that look all the time. Shylee has had a strong presence in practices and is very consistent. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven her abilities, even being 5-2, to attack the basket and find the open person. Defensively, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scrappy, which has helped us in the scimmages weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had.â&#x20AC;? Sophomores Allie Peeple and Jenna Lewandowski will provide a post presence, and freshman point guard Anna Stout will

also see action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allie will be our enforcer inside,â&#x20AC;? Schuster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great kid who works hard. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still learning a lot because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young, but she is extremely coachable. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get a lot of rebounds. Jenna has a lot of poise and works heavily on post moves. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart, which is something we need down low, and she will be right there with Leann at the front of our press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anna still has technical things she needs to work on, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and smart and wants to get better every day. She wants to talk about basketball all the time. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need her this year.â&#x20AC;?

Lake cagers seeks an offensive edge Taylor, Hansen are the new leaders Coach: Ryan Bowen, fifth year Last Year: 21-2 (13-1, NBC) Key Players: Connor Bowen, 6-0, Sr, PG; Jared Rettig, 6-2, Sr, G; Todd Walters, 6-3, Sr, F; Brandyn Neal, 6-0, Jr, G; Jake Rettig, 6-0, So. Preview: Since first taking over the Lake throttle back in 2010, veteran coach Ryan Bowen and his Flyers have quickly become a perennial powerhouse in Northern Buckeye Conference hoops, staking Bowen to a 69-20 career record, while winning Lake its most-recent league title last year on the strength of a 13-1 NBC record and a 21-2 mark overall. The defending champs will look to come out fast and keep their foot mashed to the accelerator via their transition offense. On average, the Flyers scored over 70 points per game in 2013-14). Bowen will employ a pressuring brand of defense that is defined by speed. The Flyers will be driven once again by returning NBC Player of the Year and Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press POY Connor Bowen (first team All-District 7, first Team Associated Press Northwest District, and Special Mention All-Ohio accolades during his junior year) and running partner Jared Rettig (first team All-NBC, first team All-District 7, second Team AP Northwest District, first team All-Press).

aged 22.4 points, 8.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and five steals and Rettig 16.9 points and 9.8 rebounds. The Flyers also bring back guard Brandyn Neal (10.2 pts, 5.2 reb., second team All-NBC); sophomore Jake Rettig (seven points, third team All-Press), and senior forward Todd Walters (District 7 HM, seven points and 5.2 reb.) If there’s indeed one gremlin in this Lake machine, it’d be lack of size, as Walters stands out as the squad’s only “big.” Still, look for the Flyers to try to offset this weakness through smarts, skill, and quickness.

Coach: Jim Gracyk, third year Last Year: 11-11 (8-6, NBC) Key Players: Jordyn Taylor, 5-6, Sr, G; Alexis Hansen, 5-8, Sr, G Preview: Last winter, then second-year Lake coach Jim Gracyk entered the campaign with the luxury of having a “bigger” team, courtesy of then-seniors Sumer Woodruff, a 5-9 post player; Sara Dabney, 5-10 post; and 6-0 post. This season, Gracyk’s Flyers may seem “shorter”, but don’t count them out in the NBC picture as they’re not short on talent. To make up for some of that offensive production by the graduated Woodruff (28 threepointers, averaged 5.4 points and grabbed 103 boards), Dabney, and Henneman, this edition may have to lean a little bit more on its two top guns Jordyn Taylor and Alexis Hansen, both of whom bring veteran leadership in to their roles as senior guards. Taylor should glean the opposition’s best defender on any given night. Last year she averaged 10.2 points, and went 64.6 percent from the charity stripe, making 53 of 82 free throws. Taylor notched 116 rebounds, 107 assists, and came up with 84 steals. Her running mate, the 5-8 Hansen, will go a long way in helping this team to be competitive in the NBC, too, though Gra-

cyk would love to see her up that average of seven points from last winter. Hansen, who notched 35 steals, also has a knack for coming up with “stuffs” and led the team with seven last season. Both are skilled, capable leaders, but they could use the help from some of the younger players making the next step to big-time varsity minutes. The Flyers may also need a go-to “hot-hand” from downtown as Taylor was only able to capitalize on five of her 23 attempts from three-point land last winter while Hansen went 17-of70. This is where, in particular, Gracyk and company will miss the touch of Woodruff.

Rangers continuing rebuilding process Rangers returning plenty of experience Coach: Jim Scharer, third season Last Year: 1-22 (0-14, TAAC) Key Players: Dillan Cathers, 6-2, P, Jr.; Stephen Sutton, 5-8, W, Sr.; Jay Johnson, 6-0, P, Jr.; Joey Woody, 5-6, W, Jr. Preview: The Northwood Rangers are in the middle of a rebuilding process. But Coach Jim Scharer understands the process and believes that gradually, his team is capable of making the progress necessary to build a winner. He's got a committed group, one that's led by 6-1, 183-pound junior post Dillan Cathers, who averaged 6.1 points and 4.2 rebounds last season. Joining him in the frontcourt is Jay Johnson (5.7 ppg, 3.8 rpg). Sophomores Nick Bonnette and Austin Krueger, both of whom stand 6-0, will back them up. In the backcourt, senior Stephen Sutton, a 5-8 wing, brings experience and leadership. Senior wing Dominik Bermejo is playing his first year of basketball. Perhaps the athleticism that made him a great running back will translate into him becoming a good basketball player. Currently, 5-7 sophomore Gavin Fritz, 5-6 junior Joey Woody and 5-7 sophomore Evan LaPlante are battling it out at point guard. Scott Slater, a 5-7 junior wing, and Caleb Price, a 6-0 sophomore wing, are the other players fighting for a spot in the rota-

tion. "We have so much competition," Scharer said. "I have two players that I can play at every position." Thus far, Scharer says his basketball team has played well during scrimmages. "So far, we're a lot more competitive than we were last year," Scharer said. "We've won a couple quarters, tied a couple quarters and been close, which is a lot better. Last year, we lost by quite a bit to most teams. This year, we want to compete against teams. It's a process when you go from losing by a lot of points to this year.”

Coach: Bill Hamilton, fourth season Last Year: 7-16 (5-9, TAAC) Key Players: Lissy Wojcinski, 5-10, F, Sr.; Alex Rable, 5-8, W, Jr., Dara Artino, 5-7, W, Jr.; Kristi Sawmiller, 5-11, P; Jade Laviolette, 5-9, P, So.; Allison Roach, 5-4, PG, So. Preview: It’s always a good sign when a team enters a season knowing it has has plenty of experienced players. That’s the situation presenting itself for Northwood’s fourth-year coach Bill Hamilton. Hamilton has six key players returning, led by 5-8 junior wing Alex Rable, who averaged 7.7 points and 3.3 steals per game last season. Fellow junior Dara Artino, who stands 5-7, averaged 5.2 points and 5-10 senior Lissy Wojcinski (4.9 rpg), 5-11 junior Kristi Sawmiller (4.8 rpg) and 5-9 sophomore Jade Laviolette (3.7 rpg) manned the post. The key may be how well new point guard Allison Roach can replace Dominique Cruz, who currently plays on the Owens Community College soccer team. A lot will be asked of the 5-4 sophomore, who gained valuable experience last year. Expect Maya Zapata, a 5-7 junior post, and 5-3 junior guard Libby Smith to see some action as well. “We’ll thrown in a couple of JV players,” Hamilton said. “It depends on how they play in their game. We just look to see

who’s on and who’s off.” Hamilton would like to run an uptempo offense when given the chance, but he acknowledges the Rangers will probably utilize a more deliberate style of play, too, when needed. “We’re going to probably run most of the time,” he said. “We’ll play a little bit of both. It depends on the teams we play and the opportunities we do have. We’ll take a look at everybody we play and make those decisions after we scout them. Right now, (the chemistry) is pretty good. The kids are all getting along, they’re playing together, and they’ve accepted their roles.”

Rockets to pick up on the scoring end Rockets looking to soar even higher Coach: Eric Sweet, fourth year Last Year: 7-17 (0-14, SBC) Key Players: Andre Ramsey, Sr., PG; Deshawn Johnson, Sr., PG; Cole Weirich, Sr., W; Tyler Sievert, Sr., W; Paul Shay, Sr., W. Preview: Sweet looks to rebound from a rough 2013-14 campaign and would seem to have a core of senior leadership and playmakers to do just that. He'd like to add some “Ws” in a career win-loss column that currently reads 21-47. Sweet’s two senior point guards, returning honorable mention AllSBC and HM All-District performer Andre Ramsey, a 5-foot-11 senior wing, (3 ppg, 2.5 reb., 2 asst.), and 6-2 senior guard Deshawn Johnson (5 ppg, 4 reb., 1 asst.) may be the most important as they’ll be handling the basketball when the team is bringing it up the court. Fellow seniors Cole Weirich and Tyler Seivert also spent quality time at the point last year. The Rockets may have to look for the right chemistry as the program needs to improve on its 42 point average. When playing their more typical wing positions, Weirich (3 ppg, 1 reb., 1 asst., 2 steals); Sievert (4 ppg, 2 reb., 1 asst., 1 steal); and Paul Shay, a fifth senior leader (2 ppg, 1 reb., .5 asst., and 1 steal) all have been regular contributors in the past

New talent includes high-energy senior wing players Brandon Schimming, who stands 5-11, and 5-10 senior Derek Rodenhauser. Inside, 6-3 senior center Vinny Sazbo and junior postmen and rebounders Kyle Pape, who brings a stout presence at 6-1, and 6-5 junior Alec Young, who also has a nice shooting touch from outside, should provide rebounding. Team defense could be a strength. In 2013-14, they allowed an average of 49.9 points. Look for them to dial up the aggressiveness even more this winter.

Coach: Tom Kontak, 3rd year Last Year: 20-5, 11-3 SBC Key Players: Andrea Cecil, 6-0, Jr., G/P; Athena Eli, 5-6, Jr., G; Emma Barney, 5-10, So., G/P; Maddy Rathbun, 5-8, So., P. Preview: Last year under the Rockets finished 20-5 overall, and 11-3 in SBC play, which were strong enough for a second place showing in the conference. Kontak has seen his lifetime coaching record soar to a very formidable 12757. This year’s edition are led by their big four — six foot tall junior Andrea Cecil, 5-6 junior guard Athena Eli, 5-10 sophomore guard Emma Barney and 5-8 sophomore post Maddy Rathbun. They will try to build on the momentum that currently has them enjoying the top spot in the SBC preseason coaches’ poll. Of the four, perhaps none will loom larger than Bowling Green State University verbal commit Cecil, who powered in 19.5 points and ripped down 7.6 boards per in 2013-14 on her way to garnering first team All-SBC, first team All-District 7, first team Associated Press Northwest District and third team AP All-Ohio accolades. Kontak says she can be inserted into any of the five positions on the floor at any time. If you contain Cecil, you still have to worry about Eli, who came on with 6.2

Indians hoping to reach new heights Waite looks to replace lost production Coach: Adam Rodriguez, third season Last Year: 7-15 (2-8, TCL) Key Players: Eric Neal, 6-2, W, Jr.; Alec Heslet, 6-2, W, Jr.; Jeremy Pratt, 6-1, PG, Sr. Chris Johnson, 6-3, P, Jr. Preview: and he’s especially high on Eric Neal (5.5 pts., 6.3 reb.) and Alec Heslet (6.5 reb.), two junior wings that stand 6-foot-2. Senior Jeremy Pratt (4.3 pts., 4.2 assists), who had a great season as the quarterback of the football team, stands 6-1, plays point guard while junior Jay’von Weston and junior post Chris Johnson (4.2 reb.) round out the starting lineup. Weston, who transferred from Beecher High School in Flint, Mich., is expected to bring some toughness to the Indians. Johnson, meanwhile, will be required to maintain a presence in the post. Waite will have some punch off the bench, too. Sophomore PG Dalson James, who grew four inches, has been a pleasant surprise and should see his share of playing time. Senior guard Myron Carey will provide scoring off the bench. Along with Heslet, he is one of the Indians’ best threepoint shooters. “(Myron) will come in and give us a spark off the bench,” Rodriguez said. “He can score. He’s good enough to start, but we need someone that can come in off the bench and score. He shoots 3s well, and

he’ll be one of our leading scorers; he was the leading scorer on JV last year.” Sophomore post Ronnie Sanders will serve as Johnson’s backup, providing some depth in the front court. “We’re going to play up-tempo a lot more than last year, shoot the 3 when we’re open, and play tough defense,” Rodriguez said. “If we play tough defense and rebound, we could be really good; our offense is there. We stress that every day in practice, and we stress no egos. We have 13 kids on the roster, and they’re all capable. ”

Coach: Manny May, 17th season Last Season: 7-15 (4-6, TCL) Key Players: Ramiyah Henry, 5-8, PG, Sr.; Dajnay Wells, G, 5-9, W, Jr.; LaTrecia Williams, 6-0, P, Jr.; Leslie Barnett, 6-0, P, Sr. Preview: Led by point guard Ramiyah Henry (11.2 pts., 8.1 assists, 2.9 steals), a 5-8 senior, two post players, 6-0 junior LaTrecia Williams (6.1 pts.) and 6-0 senior Leslie Barnett, and guard Dajnay Wells (7.2 pts.), a 5-9 junior, the Indians have the potential for some legitimate scoring threats. “My strong suits are my point guard and my post,” said May, who led the Indians to the 2010 Division I state final. “Ramiah has improved on her game and LaTrecia has improved. Leslie, we have to get the ball down low to her and get (everyone) setting screens. “You replace (the lost production) by committee, a team effort. We are very athletic, more conditioned. As the season goes on, we’ll take it slow. You don’t replace that in the first night or the second night as you become a unit. The chemistry is very good, everybody gets along, and they have fun together. Even in tough times, they haven’t gotten mad at each other. You have to know your role (and) be patient. We’re young, we’re getting better day by day. We’ve gotten better in each scrimmage.”

Last year, the team was able to score but struggled on the defensive end at times. “All I care about right now is hustling and getting the fundamentals of the game down,” May said. “If you’re conditioning is great, you can limit bad habits.” In addition to two six-footers, Waite has some additional size in sophomores Chare Finn, a 5-11 post, and Vanessa Skouroukos, a 5-10 wing. Two seniors, Alysica Matney, a 5-7 wing who transferred from Northwood, and Mariah Forgette, a 5-6 wing, will also see sufficient playing time.

Lewandowski, Weis to take charge Johnson, Williams will lead Wildcats Coach: Aaron Clouse, first season Last Year: 6-18 (4-10 NBC) Key Players: Drew Lewandowski, 6-4, F, Sr.; Grant Weis, 6-0, G, Sr.; Ryan Avers, 5-10, G, Sr.; Zach Gephart, 6-1, F, Sr. Preview: Lewandowski, one of two returning starters, stands 6-foot-4 and possesses the ability to score from both in the key and shooting from long range. Besides Lewandowski, Woodmore has no other player taller than 6-1. To make up for their lack of size, Clouse will have his team play an up-tempo style that includes utilizing a fullcourt press at times. It will be an adjustment from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense, which tried to utilize the size of Phil Thorbahn and Sean Mullin to its advantage under former coach Brad Sander. Clouse is expecting contributions from 11 different players this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look at our speed and quickness as an advantage and will look to use (it),â&#x20AC;? Clouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will look to utilize our team speed to neutralize the opposing teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s height.â&#x20AC;? The other returning starter, Grant Weis, averaged 7.6 points last season. If he and Lewandowski can form a potent one-two punch and the Wildcats play solid defense, this could turn out to be a good season.

But Lewandowski and Weis will need help offensively from the likes of 5-10 senior guard Ryan Avers (4.7 ppg) and 6-1 senior forward Zach Gephart (2.6 ppg), both of whom started at times last season, as well as three juniors, 6-1 center Colin Sandrock, 5-11 guard Ross Weirich and 6-1 guard Connor Bringman. Clouse, who formerly served as the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball coach, expects 6-0 senior guard Ross Wolford and 5-9 senior guard Ryan Schiavone to help with ball-handling duties. And sophomore guards Derek Wank, who stands 6-2, and 5-8 J.T. Atkin could see playing time as well.

Coach: Kyle Clair, seventh season Last Year: 9-14 (7-7, NBC) Key Players: Mackenzie Johnson, 5-9, F; Jordan Williams, 5-7, W; Kaitlin Gephart, 5-7, W Preview: Mackenzie Johnson is Woodmore's answer to the graduation of former all-league forward Allie Wank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get the sense when talking to her that she has a handle on what the team needs from her. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more obvious as you watch her practice and her high-level performances in preseason scrimmages. She is ready,â&#x20AC;? Clair said. Fellow senior Jordan Williams (5.3 ppg, 2.8 rpg), a 5-7 wing, will also be expected to shoulder some of the load. And the loss of 5-7 point guard Grace Weirich means another key player must be replaced. That responsibility will be left to sophomores (5-5) Lily Rothert and (5-5) Kate Barbee. But Clair is confident that Rothert and Barbee are up to the task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of them are exceptional ball handlers and natural decision-makers with the basketball,â&#x20AC;? Clair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They both utilize their speed and quickness with the ball really well which fits what we are trying to do offensively in terms of picking up the

tempo and getting easy buckets.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, the Wildcats will be without Kristin Aliemenious for the duration of the season because of a shoulder injury. The 5-9 senior post would have provided a solid presence near the basket, but now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need her teammates to fill in for her. As a result, Jordan Grzegorczyk, a 5-7 post, 5-7 sophomore forward Camryn Bench and 5-9 post Makenzie Hoffman must, according to Clair, clean up the glass in order for Woodmore to be successful this year. Kaitlin Gephart (2.3 ppg, 1.5 rpg), a 5-7 junior guard, will also see playing time for a club that features a deep rotation.
