Northwood

Still no takers to develop former mall site By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Northwood hopes a developer this year will show a strong interest in the site of the former Woodville Mall on Woodville Road (St. Rte. 51) after the city spent millions to tear down the old structure last year. Residents, mostly living near the mall, listened to economic development ideas for the site at a public meeting in Northwood City Council chambers last January. They were given options as to whether they would like to see commercial, industrial or residential development. A majority wanted a combination of commercial and residential at the site. The city later hired Brian McMahon, a real estate broker at Danbury National, to market the site. City Administrator Bob Anderson told The Press last week that the city supports what the public prefers – a commercial/residential development on the 100 acre site. “We are talking with people who are interested. Brian McMahon is still working on a larger commercial side,” said Anderson. “In the meantime, we’re making contingency plans. We really don’t want the property to sit there for years. I don’t think any Northwood official wants to wait several years for something to happen.” Strip mall The contingency plans include talking

A group of environmental activists is asking the Northwest Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council why it has taken a stand against a ballot initiative known as the Lake Erie Bill of Rights. Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie said it sent a letter to Shaun Enright, executive secretary of the council, asking why the coalition of skilled building trades unions opposes the initiative and proposed a joint effort with the environmentalists to protect the lake and create jobs. The letter contends the council has opposed the ballot initiative on three occasions with legal motions and joined with “a dozen corporate lobby groups” in asking the Ohio Supreme Court to keep it off the Lucas County ballot. A member of a local building trades union filed a complaint prior to a recent hearing of the Lucas County board of elections and filed another complaint after the board ruled the initiative is to go on the ballot this year. “Many of us are current or former union members and believe unions benefit working people and our community as a whole. We also believe that protecting the environment not only sustains the systems that support life, it also creates jobs,” the letter says, citing construction projects on Toledo sewage infrastructure as examples. “Similarly, upgrades at local refineries and manufacturing plants are often driven by environmental requirements as well.” LEBOR supporters are waiting for a ruling by the Ohio Supreme Court on the second complaint filed by building trades member, Josh Abernathy, to keep the citizen initiative off the ballot. Environmental groups gathered more than 10,000 signatures to commence the initiative process. On Feb. 26, another citizen initiative on the county jail will be decided in a special election. The letter to Enright also notes union members would benefit if there were stricter controls on Concentrated Animal Feeding Organizations.

to small commercial and residential developers who may be interested in the property. “It would be a small strip mall type of thing,” he said. An access or frontage road between State Routes 579 and 51 could also be an option for the area. “51 goes to the southeast, and 579 kind of heads to the northeast, creating a little triangle. So we were thinking about putting a road between the two of them, then try to create some commercial buildings along that new road,” he said. “In back of that, to the north, maybe some residential units could go in.” McMahon, he added, will still be trying to find a larger scale commercial busi-

ness that might want to relocate there, said Anderson. “We’re looking at everything – from banks, small grocery store, a single movie theater. There’s all kind of ideas floating around,” he said. Ready for development The Woodville Mall was Northwest Ohio’s first enclosed mall built in 1968. Over the years, it fell into disrepair. The main mall structure was razed in 2014 due to structural issues. The city acquired the property at a sheriff’s sale in February, 2016 for $200,000. The plan was to demolish the buildings, but remediation of the site was required due to a variety of environmental issues: The site included 50,000 square feet of asbestos containing material tiles, and 771,844 square feet of spray on asbestos containing material insulation covering the entire footprint of the buildings, concrete walls, I-beams, ceiling tiles, hard plaster ceilings and floors. Last year, the city removed the asbestos and razed the buildings. Now the property is ready to be developed. The property has all the utilities – water, sewer, storm retention and electric. The electric capacity at the site could even service a steel facility. The site is also close to major highways, such as state highways, I-280 and the turnpike. It is also close to Toledo, the Jeep facility and the airport.

We also believe that protecting the environment not only sustains the systems that support life, it also creates jobs.

“

“Therefore, we would like to invite the building and construction trades to drop its opposition to LEBOR and join with Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie to support legislation requiring CAFOs to install smaller versions of the sewage treatment facilities Toledoans have paid for to protect the lake. This would help immensely to bring Lake Erie back to health, provide a job bonanza for construction workers and leave a thriving lake to sustain both our community and the economy for future generations,” the letter says. Enright said Thursday he hadn’t received the letter and declined to comment. The Northwest Ohio Building & Construction Trades Council includes 22 affiliated local unions from 16 different nationally affiliated unions. Its jurisdiction covers the counties of Lucas, Wood, Fulton, Henry, Hancock, Williams, Ottawa and Defiance within the state of Ohio, according to its website.

Steve Kraus loses theft conviction appeal By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com An appeals court has denied a request by former state representative Steve Kraus for post-conviction relief from his theft conviction in 2015. In denying his request, the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals upheld an earlier decision in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court that dismissed his petition for relief. Kraus was convicted of one count of theft from an elderly person on July 27, 2015 and the lower courts ordered him to two years of community control and pay a $2,500 fine. He filed a direct appeal to the sixth district court which upheld his conviction in December 2016. In February 2017, Kraus, representing himself, filed a petition with the common pleas court to vacate the sentence, claiming allegations of wrongdoing against the former Ottawa County prosecutor, the appointed special prosecutor in his case, the former chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, the visiting judge who presided over his criminal case and the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court.

“

But Kraus testified Porter gave him permission to enter the victim’s property to evaluate personal belongings for possible auction.

He argued their alleged acts should have rendered his conviction void. But the appeals court agreed with the decision of the common pleas court that Kraus didn’t file his petition within the time allotted by state law. The appeals court also ruled against Kraus’ claim the common pleas court erred by refusing to make findings of fact when dismissing his petition. The appeals court did acknowledge, however, the common pleas court wasn’t entirely accurate when it ruled Kraus “did

not challenge the underlying merits of the felony for which he stands convicted.” “Appellant (Kraus) did provide an affidavit from a new witness, Ann Chio, who states that she contacted appellant on July 29, 2017 through Facebook Messenger because she had information relevant to his case…, “ the appeals court wrote. “Chio states that she overhead the alleged victim of appellant’s theft give her real estate agent, Jenine Porter, ‘permission to let someone into (her) house to appraise the antiques.’” At trial, Porter testified she only authorized Kraus to go into the victim’s garage to look at a car but didn’t give him permission to enter the house or appraise other property, according to court records. But Kraus testified Porter gave him permission to enter the victim’s property to evaluate personal belongings for possible auction. The appeals court ruled, however, that even if Chio’s statement wasn’t considered hearsay, it isn’t “clear and convincing evidence that appellant would not have been convicted if Chio had testified.” Kraus was removed from office after the conviction. This past November, he lost his bid to un-seat Marcy Kaptur for the Ohio 9th district congressional seat.

Stony Ridge

Community health firm seeing growth After opening in 2013, the Stony Ridge office of Community Health Services has realized an increase in demand for service and is adding a pediatrician, Dr. Mary Grist, to its staff this month. The current staff at Stony Ridge includes Dr. Todd Meredith, who specializes in family medicine; Dr. Yasmin Pirzada, who specializes in adult care internal medicine and infectious disease; and Bridget Faricy-Beredo, family practice nurse practitioner. Also, there has been a growing demand for behavioral health services, Joe Liszak, chief executive officer, of CHS said last week. As a result, Alyce Sopkovich, a licensed independent social worker who had been splitting her time between the Stony Ridge and Fremont offices, will be transitioning to full-time at Stony Ridge. Those seeking counseling sessions don’t have to be medical patients of CHS.

“We hired a full-time master’s trained chemical dependency counselor last May to help with the drug crisis in our area and we have provided Vivitrol shots to patients for the last three years at our main office in Fremont,” Liszak said. CHS also added an obstetrician /gynecologist, Dr. Helen O’Connell, to its staff in September. Dr. O’Connell is based at the Fremont office but is seeing many patients from surrounding areas. Established in 1970, CHS has facilities in Wood, Henry, Seneca, Huron, Allen and Sandusky counties. Liszak said management originally looked to locate a Wood County office near Bowling Green but changed plans and looked farther north when a review of the area showed some of the communities around Millbury, Stony Ridge, Pemberville and Luckey didn’t have many physicians. “We did a pretty thorough assessment of the market prior to making a final decision to move forward with this site. We knew that the addition of the Stony Ridge location allowed us to provide a network

of health centers, close enough in proximity to cover most of the region, and offer accessible care to some of the communities that didn’t have many medical providers. We are seeing very close to what we projected. The patient population is a pretty even mix of Medicaid, commercial insurance and Medicare, which is similar to what we see in most of our locations. “The recent loss of physicians in the region—particularly Woodville and Elmore, has accelerated our growth. We’re glad that we have the capacity to get people in who no longer have a provider in the area. Because we accept all payment sources, it’s been a relief for families who thought they may have to travel to Toledo for health care,” Liszak said. In the past two years, CHS has moved its main campus to Hayes Avenue in Fremont – a move that doubled its capacity for dental care. The Fostoria office has been renovated and a dental wing has been added. A site has been opened in Lima, bringing to eight the total number of sites in six counties.

Lake Township

Network to celebrate law enforcement

“

We now have four Neighborhood Watch groups in the township, which is almost unheard of for a township our size.

“

Lake Township Police Department is acknowledging the efforts of a national cable and satellite television network in its celebration this week of Law Enforcement Appreciation Week. Ion Television Network announced recently it would recognize law enforcement agencies nationwide during the week of Jan. 7. Ion is known for telecasting reruns of numerous law enforcement television shows such as “Law and Order,” “Blue Bloods” and “CSI.” “It’s nice to be recognized nationally, especially by a television network,” said Lake Township Police Chief E. Mark Hummer. “There is so much negative television press in relation to law enforcement these days, it is nice to have someone lead this kind of celebration.” The chief point out his department enjoys a good relationship with township residents, which is not always reflected in television shows regarding big cities. “There are areas of the country where citizens may not hold their local law enforcement agencies in as high a regard, but we’ve worked hard at forming a bond with our residents. We would not be getting the level of cooperation we receive from our residents if we didn’t enjoy this close working relationship,” the chief said. While Lake Township is relatively crime-free, especially compared to bigger cities that are within a few miles of the township, its officers have been able to solve crimes and prevent others.

“We recently caught the female who is charged with robbing a restaurant in the Millbury area, and we think she was about to commit another crime at the time our officers made the arrest. This was good police work that was accomplished with the assistance of the public,” the chief pointed out. One of the major changes being seen in the current criminal landscape involves

crimes that affect local residents but is perpetrated from afar, which makes catching crooks much more difficult. “Many of the scam telephone calls our residents are receiving are coming from out of the country, even though a caller ID may show a local phone number. Catching thieves from other countries is all but impossible. That’s why it’s important to educate the public how to avoid these scams.” The police chief pointed out telephone scams are just one way in which there have been many changes in law enforcement in just the past few years. “You can’t forget the basics, because they are the building blocks of what you need to do to fight crime, but there are so many types of crimes now that were unheard of a few years ago. We didn’t use to deal with cybercrimes and other fraud we see now, at least to the degree we are dealing with them.” The local department has kept up with the times through training and the establishment of a Crime Prevention Division. “We now have four Neighborhood Watch groups in the township, which is almost unheard of for a township our size. Our crime prevention officer and community policing officer is performing community outreach duties that are very beneficial to township residents,” the chief noted. Chief Hummer said his department will be reaching out to officials at the Ion Network to thank them directly for their support of law enforcement agencies.

Oregon settles with Joseph Brothers Co. By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council last month agreed to settle a claim with the Joseph Brothers Company, LLC over the granting of a sign easement. In 1994, the Joseph Brothers granted the city a deed of easement for right-ofway at the corner of Harbor Drive and Navarre Avenue. In 1995, the city granted Northtowne Square, which owned Comfort Inn hotel, a sign easement in the same area. Northtowne Square then erected a Comfort Inn sign. The Joseph Brothers filed a civil lawsuit against the city in Lucas County Common Pleas Court in 2016, which alleged that the city erroneously granted Northtowne Square the sign easement. The lawsuit further alleged that the granting of the sign easement by the city to Northtowne Square was beyond the scope of the agreement resulting in damages to the Joseph Brothers. The Joseph Brothers recently agreed to settle the matter against Northtowne and the city. “After several discussions and meet-

ings, there has been an offer to settle the claims against both the city, Northtowne Square, and the new owners of the Comfort Inn, Navarre Lodging,” said Oregon Law Director Melissa Purpura. “So all the parties came together, and we believe we have a settlement that is beneficial to everyone.” New sign The agreement grants the permission for a new sign to be erected. The cost would be shared between the Joseph Brothers and Navarre Lodging. It would be partially located in the city’s right-of-way and on the Joseph Brothers property. As part of the settlement, the city will also nullify an ordinance which granted Northtowne Square and its predecessors a sign easement. However, they will under the agreement be granted a license for advertisement of the hotel property on the newly erected sign. “So it will still permit them for advertising purposes,” said Purpura. Councilman James Seaman asked if James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning, had signed off on the agreement. Purpura said he had, as have other city officials, including Public Service Director

Paul Roman and City Administrator Mike Beazley. “Everyone has looked at the diagrams and designs, and everyone has signed off on that,” she said. Beazley said the sign in question was “a couple of feet off from where it was supposed to be.” “On top of that, the easement the city had received did not necessarily grant us the authority to allow someone to place a sign on that easement but only a roadway in that easement. At the end of the day, we resolved these issues at no cost to the city.” “So they essentially get a bigger sign with more panels that they may choose to lease to other individuals to advertise,” said Council President Dennis Walendzak. “Do the individuals have to be on Navarre Avenue? Can they be on Dustin? What is the legality to place something on that sign?” “In order to place advertisement on that sign, it has to be Joseph Brothersowned property,” said Purpura. “The intent is for the properties on Harbor Drive and Navarre Avenue that are owned in that location. The intended use of those panels is not to advertise property that is on Lallendorf or Wheeling.”

ODOT

Launches truck parking info system A new system being launched along three major Ohio highways will make it easier for truck drivers to find safe parking. The Truck Parking Information Management System provides real-time information about available parking spaces at nine Ohio rest areas on I-70, US 33 and I-75, including one rest area in Wood County. Parking information is displayed on digital signs along the highway as well as on OHGO.com and the OHGO app. A 2013 study found that 83 percent of drivers routinely took longer than 30 minutes to find parking. By using this system, drivers can monitor parking

availability and make better-informed parking decisions as they near the limit of their federally mandated hours of service. “Truck drivers are vital to our economy. One of the biggest challenges they face is finding a safe place to park and rest,” said Ohio Department of Transportation Director Jerry Wray. “This system will help truck drivers plan ahead and allow them to stop wasting precious driving minutes searching for parking.” The multi-state system, which should be fully operational next month, was paid for with a $25 million federal transportation grant. It includes Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan,

Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. Ohio received the largest share of the grant, $5.3 million. The state contributed another $787,000, bringing the total investment to $6.1 million. This system is expected to generate more than $403 million in benefits through the life of the project. Better parking information also means fewer non-routine maintenance repairs on highway shoulders and ramps due to illegal parking. It is estimated that the search for safe, convenient parking annually costs the country $4.4 billion and increases CO2 emissions by 3.3 million tons.

(ESOI) landfill, 876 Otter Creek Road. ESOI accepts hazardous waste from off-site sources for storage, treatment or disposal in Cell M, the only active hazardous waste cell at the facility. The company has applied for a permit modification to vertically expand Cell M by 14 feet. The company also is requesting a permit modification for the surface water management plan for closed cells G and H. The modification would update calculations to make sure the storm water control system for cells G and H can contain water from a 25year, 24-hour storm.

You don’t have to prove anything to anyone We all encounter critics and naysayers we would love to prove wrong. These are the people who claim you will fail because you are too stupid, inept, incompetent, unmotivated, misinformed, uneducated, or lazy. If you believe any of their negative assessments, you do yourself a great disservice because you are programming your mind for failure. Your success is not based in any way on what other people think. Your success is based on achieving your goals, desires, and aspirations. Your success is based on your happiness and accomplishments. If you are happy, then you are successful. Every person who has reached the pinnacle of success has detractors. Regardless of how incredible their accomplishments are, there will be numerous critics. These fault finders spend their time tearing down others instead of focusing on improving their own lives. Although just about everyone will have an opinion about what you are doing, these same people really don’t care. They quickly forget about your life in order to focus on their own issues. Ironically their negative commentary sticks with you even

You only have control over your thoughts and actions. Following your path is where you will find happiness. This journey is based on where you want to go. You make adjustments based on your growth and changes, not on what other people think. Other people who claim your current path will lead to failure are too prevalent. Their predictions evoke fear of failure and the risk of rejection. No one wants to hear “I told you not to do that.” The people who are where you want to be are the ones with truly valuable advice. As well-meaning as the other people may be, their advice is not based on real life experience, but rather on conjecture, speculation, and even misinformation. Trying to prove anything to these people is a counterproductive waste of effort. Failure is not something to be feared. It’s a learning tool which is part of the path to success. Failure is a feedback mechanism which identifies strategies needing to be adjusted. All successful people overcome failure by refusing to give up. When something doesn’t work out as planned, learn from the experience, make

by Bryan Golden though they won’t remember it themselves. The more successful someone is, the more derision they receive. Their critics may be jealous, ignorant, malicious, or have too much free time on their hands. Regardless of their motivation, they have nothing valuable to offer. Even if you wanted to, you could never please everybody. This is because what pleases one person offends someone else. For this reason, there’s no point for you to try and please everyone. Actually, you don’t need to please anyone except yourself. You should be able to define what makes you happy. This includes understanding what you want and what you like. However, linking your happiness to what others think about you invariably leads to frustration and disappointment.

adjustments, and keep moving forward. Thomas Edison took 10,000 tries before finally discovering the correct formula for a commercially viable light bulb. Along the way he ignored the many detractors who were convinced he wouldn’t succeed. Follow Edison’s example. Go where you want to go without trying to prove anything to anyone. This is how you find happiness and success. Always remember that it doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do. It does matter what you say, think, and do. You used this strategy when leaning how to walk. You were determined to succeed. You kept getting up after each fall until you succeeded. You weren’t trying to prove anything to anyone then. So, there’s no reason to start now. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www. BryanGolden.com or your bookstore.

It is time to get the federal government out of D.C. Guest Editorial

By Brian Wakamo Americans of all political stripes distrust the federal government. For years, the name of the nation’s capital has been used as shorthand for federal overreach and bloat. For most Americans, Washington, D.C. is hundreds of miles away — and a million ways disconnected — from them. The Washington area is home to hundreds of thousands of federal jobs, and many unpopular agencies. But agencies that are more spread out, like the Postal Service, are significantly more popular. So here’s a simple idea: Move more of the federal government to the rest of the country. Studies show that once you get to know people different from you, your prejudice towards them drops. Could that same approach also bridge the deep disconnect between Americans and their national government? One way to sweeten the pot would be the promise of tens of thousands of jobs to

Conservancy project You might see heavy equipment on Carter Historic Farm over the next several weeks. Not to worry, no houses or other development are being built on this protected property. The Black Swamp Conservancy is partnering with our friends at Wood County Park District to restore 20 acres on the “back end” of the property to wetlands, typical of the Historic Great Black Swamp. This restoration will expand wildlife habitat on the property and enhance the park district’s opportunities for interpretive programming. It will also accept runoff water from the farm and filter out pollutants before they are able to reach Lake Erie. This week, the construction team is installing an access drive and erosion control on the grounds, and will be mobilizing the equipment they’ll be using for the project. After a two-week break for the holidays, construction and earth moving will begin, during the week of Jan. 7. Construction is expected to be complete in two weeks, and will include: • Construction of berms and swales around the exterior of the wetland restoration area

areas that need them. A geographically diverse federal government would be bolstered by the Green New Deal program championed by progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Bringing back past agencies, like the Depression-era Works Progress Administration, to help build green infrastructure would help transition this country off fossil fuels and into a sustainable future. It would guarantee jobs, maybe good union jobs, for countless workers. A new Works Progress Agency could establish offices in places like Milwaukee, where it could build a long-discussed highspeed rail line connecting the cities of the Midwest. Or in Phoenix, where it could

construct more solar power plants in the desert. It could set up in places like Jackson, Mississippi, helping to build sustainable co-op farms, or on the Gulf Coast, to fight climate change. Similarly, a single-payer, Medicare for All health service would also need to have offices in communities. It would create health care jobs in places often abandoned by providers, boosting economies and bringing affordable care to millions. Meanwhile, reintroducing postal banking would bolster Post Office finances and bring banking to millions of under banked Americans. There’s another benefit to all this: the revitalization of our heartland cities. Midwestern cities like Detroit, Cleveland, and Milwaukee are full of classical architecture and cultural amenities, but have lost hundreds of thousands of jobs from the erosion of manufacturing. New federal jobs could reverse decades of decline in these grand cities. Why stop there? The National Weather Service could

• Locate and break drainage tiles in the wetland restoration area • Excavate pools and micro-topography in the wetland • Build interior berms • Install stone spillways for water control in the wetland • Prepare soil and installation of wetland seed mix in the wetland and erosion control / native grass seed mix on the berms Next spring, planting of native shrubs and trees in the newly restored wetland will complete the project. We made sure to design the berms wide enough for a small tractor, so look for the parks to offer hay rides through this area in the future! This project was financed in part or totally through a grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Environmental Protection Agency with Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding.

move to New Orleans or another area impacted by the climate change they study. The U.S. Geological Survey could move out to Sacramento, which knows something about earthquakes. Agencies that deal with farming and rural development could set up in Farm Belt areas like Kansas City, where they’d be more attuned to the people they serve. Spreading out the federal government would help rebuild the trust that’s eroded in recent years and provide jobs that are unionized, well-paying, and accessible to people often excluded from the broader economy. Decentralizing government is popular across the political spectrum, and the federal government is bogged down by its centralization in D.C. Why not put it more in line with its original mission — to be of the people, by the people — and bring it to the people that need it most?

New Orleans a good time at Mardi Gras & all year long Last year, New Orleans celebrated its 300th birthday, which means that way down there on the mighty Mississippi, almost to the Gulf of Mexico the Big Easy has had a long time to hone its traditions. Mardi Gras, one of the world’s preeminent good times, is Tuesday, March 5, and promises to again be epic New Orleansstyle. Epic as in frenzied and raucous. Even if that’s not your cup of tea New Orleans is still a great place to go any time of year. There’s a lot more to it than just a big party. Great people, unique atmosphere, great sites, great food, and always a good time, with or without the partying. You choose. It’s one-part Creole, one-part Cajun, and one part a healthy mix of both. It’s a culture that works even harder than it plays. Life is different. So is death, which can be a jazz funeral march playing the gospel hymn, “When the Saints Come Marching In.” That hymn also happens to be New Orleans’ official anthem, as well as the fight song for their beloved football team, the Saints. Music and food are the fuels for life in New Orleans and it’s impossible to go there without being impressed by both. The music is everywhere. In the streets, around Jackson Square, on street corners, on the city’s last authentic steamboat, and in the extraordinary number of bars, nightclubs, restaurants and similar venues. And then there’s the best of traditional jazz in Preservation Hall, where concerts can be enjoyed 350 nights a year, presented by ensembles from a current collective of over 100 master practitioners guaranteed to put on a great show. The New Orleans School of Cooking is a must-stop for those looking to demystify the what and how-to of preparing such southern Louisiana classics as roux, andouille, pecan pie, étouffée and pralines. It’s a great primer before immersion into the restaurant world. Make sure beignets at Café du Monde and a muffaletta from Central Grocery are included among your stops. You’ll find all of those sites in The French Quarter, which is the iconic heart and soul of New Orleans. It’s the original city that was French, then Spanish, then French again before becoming part of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1804. That heritage shows in the venerable courtyards, and in balconies and galleries elegantly defined by elaborate ironwork, many of them festooned with baskets of cascading flowers and ferns. History is everywhere in the buildings, in the traditions, even in the legends of ghosts that are said to haunt the city. At Antoine’s, arguably the finest of many fine restaurants in the city, the same family has been running it since 1840, creating such original dishes as crawfish etouffee, shrimp remoulade, and their top-secret recipe Oysters Rockefeller. It’s an elegant setting with unique touches including an old brick-paved alley now absorbed by the restaurant that includes a portion of the jail

that’s only a bit removed from the non-stop action. A vehicle isn’t necessary or recommended to enjoy the French Quarter, and other areas of the city are generally accessible via the city’s streetcars, which are a great experience in themselves.

Museum exhibition focusing on Midwestern car culture A new exhibition planned at the Toledo Museum of Art will explore the rise of the automobile as a popular visual symbol of American culture. “Life Is a Highway: Art and American Car Culture,” will feature approximately 125 works of art in a wide variety of media – including painting, sculpture, photography, prints and drawings – drawn from the TMA’s collection, along with important loans from many other North American institutions. The exhibition will be on view June 15-Sept. 15 at TMA, the exclusive U.S. venue. This project is the first U.S. exhibition to provide an inclusive, historical overview of artists inspired by American car culture with an emphasis on the Midwest region. Mapped across four thematic focal points, “Life is a Highway” brings together a diverse selection of 20th-century artists who chronicle the automobile’s role in reshaping the American landscape and cultural attitudes of self-expression. “Life Is a Highway” is curated by Robin Reisenfeld, Ph.D., TMA’s works-on-paper curator. “Located in one of the nation’s and the Midwest’s leading manufacturing centers, The Toledo Museum of Art is uniquely positioned to organize this groundbreaking look at the impact and iconography of the automobile in American visual culture,” said Brian Kennedy, TMA’s Edward Drummond and Florence Scott Libbey director. “TMA also serves as the arts centerpiece of Toledo’s thriving cultural community, and ‘Life Is A Highway’ continues the Museum’s sustained commitment to engaging our visitors in new and creative ways through our exhibitions and educational offerings.” As a key element of the 20th-century boom economy, the automobile quickly became the postwar symbol of freedom, renewal, individualism and independence. Its mythic status will be examined across social, aesthetic, environmental and industrial dimensions with images that both celebrate and critique its legacy. “Life is a Highway: Art and American

“Anna’s Birthday Party No. 3” – a color photo by Holly Andres, is among the approximately 125 works to be featured in Toledo Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibition, “Life Is a Highway: Art and American Car Culture,” which will be on view June 15-Sept. 15. (Image courtesy of Holly Andres) Car Culture” will present the multifaceted approaches visual artists have taken toward car culture. Each generation has experienced a changing dynamic with cars, with visual artists uniquely positioned to capture and examine that evolving relationship. Presenting works spanning from its early depiction by the American Scene artists and Farm Security Administration (FSA) photographers Thomas Hart Benton, Walker Evans, John Sloan and Margaret Bourke-White to the more familiar Pop and photorealists Robert Bechtle, Jim Dine, James Rosenquist, Ed Ruscha and Andy Warhol among others, the exhibition will feature both a variety of media and diversity of artists and perspectives. Thematic groupings that address the emergence of car culture, the on-the-road experience, as well as automobility and its byproducts’ environmental and psychological imprint will be considered in a number of modern and contemporary paintings and installations by John Baeder, Roger Brown, John

Chamberlain, Judy Chicago, Kerry James Marshall, George Segal and Richard Prince among others. The work of performance artist and automotive designer Liz Cohen will be on view together with photography, early video and works on paper by Robert Frank, William Gedney, Alfred Leslie, Mary Ellen Mark, Catherine Opie, Gordon Parks, Oscar Fernando Gómez Rodríguez and Meridel Rubenstein. Car culture is an inextricable part of the Midwest’s identity, closely associated with livelihood, labor and community. A significant portion of Toledo’s economy has been related to the automotive industry since the beginning of the 20th century. It is the home of two production facilities known as the Toledo Complex, an automobile factory that began assembling Willys-Overland vehicles as early as 1910. Since 1940, Jeeps have been assembled in the plant, which is now owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Powertrain Toledo, a General Motors (GM)

transmission factory, was founded in 1916 and has been the production site for many of GM’s transmissions. “Life Is a Highway” will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with two essays, one by curator Robin Reisenfeld and one by guest author Eleanor Heartney. A broad slate of public programming that will appeal to visitors across generations – art and car enthusiasts alike – will be organized in conjunction with the exhibition. “The rich spectrum of artists and media in the exhibition represents the intensity of our experiences with automobiles over time and our evolving relationship to it as a symbol of social change. As an immersive treatment of the visual culture of automobiles, this display ensures that there will be something for everyone to discover and enjoy in the galleries,” said Reisenfeld. “Life is a Highway: Art and American Car Culture” is presented by BP America with additional support from 2019 Exhibition Program Sponsor ProMedica.

Genoa wrestlers repeat at Medina Genoa wrestlers repeated as Division III champions at Medina Invitational Tournament. Genoa junior Kevin Contos was crowned champion of “The Greatest Show in Wrestling” going a perfect 5-0 at 152 pounds as he decisioned Brian Case of Davison in the finals, 3-2. Contos (15-2) opened the event by pinning Lancaster's Ajay Locke in 21 seconds after receiving a bye in the opening round. In round three, he won by major decision over Austin Kinder (Norwayne Creston), 12-4. He won another major decision in the quarterfinal, defeating Dawson Swicegood (Delta), 13-5. In the semifinal, he defeated Logan Messer (Wadsworth), 14-7. Genoa put a tournament best four grapplers in the finals as six Comets placed all in the top three of the 45-team field. Julian Sanchez, Dylan D’Emilio and Dustin Morgillo finished runner-up for the Maroon and Grey while Oscar Sanchez and Noah Koch battled their way to third. Genoa (180 points) finished third overall behind nationally ranked Wadsworth (211) and Davison (Mich.) (188).

It was around 12:15 p.m. on Sept. 3, 1996, when Dave and Deanne Deiter welcomed an eight-pound, three-ounce baby boy into this world. They had no idea that little Michael would one day grow to be so big, at 6-foot5 and 315 pounds. They didn’t know he would become a standout two-way lineman on Genoa’s football team, earn secondteam All-America honors as an offensive guard his senior year at the University of Wisconsin, and be named the RimingtonPace Offensive Lineman of the Year in the Big Ten in 2018. In the Pinstripe Bowl, Deiter started his 54th game, extending his own school record for career starts. He never missed a start in his 54-game career, making 24 starts at left guard, 16 at center and 14 at left tackle. His 54 career starts rank No. 2 alltime among Big Ten Mike Deiter players. Only Ohio State offensive lineman Billy Price (2014-17) had more, with 55. Big Mike did more than just play football for the Badgers, he also earned his degree. He started his first semester in college with 12 credit hours; four years later, on Dec. 16, he received his diploma in retailing and consumer behavior. “It was awesome,” Deiter said of earning his degree. “You get a bunch of recognition for all the stuff you do on the field. When it comes to getting a degree, it’s more internal and you are proud of yourself. You don’t have a lot of people patting you on the back, except for your close friends and family. It shows you can (play football and) still be a student.” Deiter said he plans to one day “work within any retail corporation at their main headquarters, whether it’s in marketing, etc.” That career in marketing, however, will have to be put on hold. The NFL draft is April 25-27 in Nashville, Tenn., and Deiter’s name will be on more than one team’s “we-need-thisguy” list. Deiter, who grew up rooting for the Lions, has not yet hired an agent. “I grew up playing hockey,” he said. “When I was younger, I wanted to play in the NHL. As soon as I realized I was good at football I thought, why not go at the highest level and compete with the best? I have time to get in my training and get ready for that whole (draft) process. It’s very surreal, no doubt.” ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay said of Deiter, “Guard, center, he can play either at the next level. I think he’s the best of a very talented offensive line for Wisconsin. Deiter could be a second-round pick and may be one of the top two or three interior offensive linemen taken.” One more bowl game Deiter said he has been invited to play in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. All he’s interested in right now is training and staying injury-free. “An injury was always a concern,” he

Mike Deiter (Photo by David Stluka/Wisconsin Athletic Communications) said. “I’ve been lucky, but it’s football and it can happen. I’m not going to dwell on the fact you can get hurt. You could get hurt in a car accident tomorrow. I wanted to make sure I stayed as healthy as possible. Now, people are telling me this, that and the other thing and I’m just making sure I’m as ready as possible when the time comes to be drafted.” The Badgers opened this season ranked fourth in the inaugural Associated Press poll, but they struggled through a difficult season. They ended the regular season with a 37-15 home loss to rival Minnesota. The Badgers (8-5) bounced back to earn their fifth straight bowl victory – and second in a row over Miami - with a 35-3 rout of the Hurricanes in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 27 at Yankee Stadium in New York. “You could have an awesome season like we had last year (13-1), and then have a season like this year,” Deiter said. “You have to take the good with the bad. You have to take the same approach. Clearly this (season) wasn’t going exactly the way we wanted it to, but we kept battling and we kept playing. The season was still a blast. I’m glad I stayed and I had a ton of fun playing on this team. It was still a ton of fun.” Deiter said he and his fellow linemen took pride in blocking for sophomore tailback Jonathan Taylor, who rushed for more than 2,000 yards this season. Taylor ran for 205 yards and a touchdown in the Pinstripe Bowl.

“It’s not something you had to sit down and talk about,” Deiter said, “but it’s something you knew you wanted to have happen. We knew J.T. was capable. As long as we gave him a little room, he was going to make it look beautiful. If it’s not always perfect on a block, he’ll make you right with his ability.” Deiter added that going out with a win in his final game as a Badger was “special.” “It leaves a good taste in your mouth,” he said. “It’s the last thing you remember in your time at Wisconsin. We got a good win over a nice Miami team. Losing a game is really annoying, and it’s a grind. To see everyone smiling and holding the trophy afterward instead of moping into the locker room, it leaves a way better taste in your mouth.” Deiter said he wouldn’t mind playing for the Packers, and he added that a portion of his first NFL paycheck might go toward buying a ring for his girlfriend, Jena Schwamberger, whom he’s dated since they were high school sophomores. He said he will have fond memories of living in Madison, Wisc. “I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s been way more than I thought it would be,” Deiter said. “I didn’t know if I would play and how school would turn out. I didn’t know how living in Wisconsin would go. I’ve met friends that I’ll be friends with forever. It’s been unreal - way more than I ever expected.”

Kontak becomes Oak Harbor’s all-time leader in wins By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Since taking over as coach of the Oak Harbor girls basketball, Tom Kontak has had a tremendous influence on the program. He has taken the program to new heights, winning league and district titles while establishing it as one of the best in the area. During Kontak’s tenure, Oak Harbor won its first district championship in 25 years, claimed a Sandusky Bay Conference title, defeated state power Rogers in the playoffs in an epic contest and won 78 percent of its games. Twice named Ohio’s Coach of the Year, Kontak, now in his seventh season coaching the Rockets, has gone 122-35 (.777). Following the Rockets’ 54-39 victory over Clyde last week, Kontak reached a major milestone and became the program’s alltime leader in wins. He came to Oak Harbor after being let go following a six-year stint coaching at Genoa. He appreciates being able to continue coaching at Oak Harbor. “The first thing that comes to mind is having been given the opportunity seven years ago by (athletic director) Drew Grahl and (principal) Keith Thorbahn. I had just been let go (at Genoa) and I didn’t know if I would every coach again,” Kontak said. “I’m just grateful for the opportunity that the entire Oak Harbor school district and community has given me. I hope that they’re all very proud of our young ladies and the passion they play with. If that’s indeed true, then I feel like we’ve accomplished a very important goal in the past seven years. “I came to Oak Harbor for all intents and purposes as an outsider. From day one, the community, the parents and the staff at the school have treated me as one of their own. It’s been an important part for our success. There has been little resistance and a ton of support around the community for the last seven years. We always strive to win, win the right way and win for the right reasons (while) representing the school.” It’s been a wild ride that has seen the

Oak Harbor girls basketball coach Tom Kontak kneeling with longtime assistant Art Eli at far right. (Press file photo by Scott Grau) Rockets win a bevy of significant games. Two years ago, the Rockets, behind a strong performance by Logan Harris, defied the odds and upset the state ranked Rogers Rams, 56-55, in overtime, in a Division II district semifinal. Rogers would go on to win the state championship one year later, in 2018. There was also the 39-38 victory over Perkins in the D-II sectional semifinals in 2013. That come-from-behind win served as the paramount victory in Kontak’s first year. Three years ago, Oak Harbor won its first SBC title in 12 years, going undefeated in the process. And there was the 48-40 victory over New London in the D-III district finals, a win that gave Kontak his first district championship and the program’s first in a quarter-century. It followed a season that saw the Rockets lose in the district finals on a buzzer beater just one year before. Another game that stood out was the 47-42 win over Margaretta on the road last year, one in which Harris scored 28 points and nearly got Oak Harbor another league title. Kontak also circles the Rockets’ 65-

The

53 victory over Lima Central Catholic from 2015, a win that got Oak Harbor going after a slow start, as being relevant. During his time in Oak Harbor, Kontak has coached Harris, Andrea Cecil, who is currently starting at NCAA Division I Bowling Green State University, Maddy Rathbun. and Emma Barney. Harris and Cecil earned All-Ohio honors and were named SBC Player of the Year. Rathbun and Barney, both four-year starters, were steady contributors and played a key role in the upset of Rogers. “We’ve had some outstanding athletes and we’ve had some athletes who maybe haven’t gotten as much of the recognition but have been team players in understanding their role. Any great player I’ve ever coached has a degree of physical and mental toughness that they came to school with. They started their high school career from their families,” Kontak said. “What I try to bring is an idea of the importance of playing every possession and wanting the ball when the game is on

the line when your best is most required. Though coaching all those players, they would tell you everyday hasn’t been the best of days. I hope they would say that maybe I was able to bring out the best in them,” added Kontak. “First and foremost, every great player has had a mindset that their parents established before I had a chance to coach them. Lastly, and most importantly, there’s a trust factor — building the relationship, they earn my trust and hopefully I earn their trust and we go out and compete together. “To be able to build a great foundation is something that I believe is very important in any organization. Our philosophy is we want to build from the inside out. We want to teach fundamentals, pride and team play. We’ve had an incredible amount of injuries, a lot of adversity, but we’ve been able to obtain a high level of performance. “I really believe it’s because of a great foundation of discipline, team play and also having players that understand their role and accept their role.”

Oak Harbor wrestling primed to make another run By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com So far, so good for Oak Harbor wrestling. The Rockets won the Findlay Duals and finished second at the Bob Bailey Invitational while also going 2-0 at the Ashland Crestview Quad against stiff competition. It’s expected from a program that has a long list of accolades — 24 individual state champions, 81 all-state medalists and 22 Sandusky Bay Conference titles. Last year, the Rockets came in 24th at the state meet, which followed a third place finish in 2017 and a fourth place finish the year before. This year’s team is a mix of experience and youth, but coach George Bergman says the one constant is talent. He says this is a group that features plenty of skilled, capable wrestlers who are looking to make their mark in this young season. Thus far, Bergman is pleased with what he has seen out of his wrestlers. “Things are going (well). We’re young, we only have three seniors. The kids are competing well,” he said. “We beat Massillon Tuslaw (in the Crestview Quad) and they’ve been the runner-up the last two years at the state duals. At the Findlay tournament, we had some quality wins. “We’re learning, we have at least two freshman in the lineup; we have about as many freshman as seniors. We’re a young team working hard to improve. They like to compete, they are learning, they are getting better and trying to eliminate mistakes and be fundamentally sound.” Cam Dickman, who competes at 126 pounds, was first at the Bob Bailey Invite and currently sports an undefeated record. Matthew Dewitz (132) has a similar resume as he is also undefeated and finished first at the Bob Bailey. Wyatt Miller (152), Jake Sage (195) and Cade Petersen (106), meanwhile, have just one loss apiece. The other starting wrestlers are Tyler Davis (113), Troy Jensen (120), Tad Jensen (138), Jack Zeitzheim (145), Nathan Mansor (160), Dylan Schiets (170) and Zach Helle

Oak Harbor wrestlers. (Facebook.com/Oak Harbor wrestling) (220). Davis and Tad Jensen both finished first at Bob Bailey. The Rockets do not have a wrestler at 182 and 285. At the Medina Invititational, Miller finished sixth in his weight class, which was the highlight of an event that saw the Rockets compete well against some stellar competition. Mansor won three matches and Petersen, Tad Jensen and Michael Judge each won two matches. The Rockets had some wrestlers who did not compete due to injuries. “Wyatt could’ve placed anywhere from third to sixth. He had a couple of tight matches. He worked so hard and has really improved his game. He is one of the best wrestlers on our team and it’s nice to see him take that next step. It’s exciting. He’s got a great work ethic and a great attitude,” said Bergman. “Nathan has looked good all year long, he put in the time during the offseason. He’s Wyatt’s partner and that helps Nathan out. They’re pushing each other. Cade was

wrestling for the first time at 113. He wrestled well. “For Tad, that was the best performance he’s had. He’s a four-year starter; he lost in the match to place. Michael Judge is a freshman who’s come up through the biddy program, and he did a nice job wrestling at junior high. He’s getting some opportunities at 106. He competes and gets after it. He’ll have a learning curve. “We are trying to get healthy. The kids competed. It’s a young group that we took there and they’re learning.” Several Oak Harbor wrestlers could very well compete at the collegiate level in the future. Currently, there are three Rockets who are competing at the next level. Tiffin University is home to Dylan Mansor and Kian Thompson and Trevor Scherf is competing at Baldwin Wallace University. As a freshman, Thompson went 6-6 with 13 takedowns and Scherf went 12-10 with three pins in his inaugural campaign. The Oak Harbor wrestlers stay on top

of their game during the offseason, something that was evident when the team finished fifth out of 39 teams in Community Division II at the Disney Duals in Orlando, Florida. Bergman says that tournament whipped the wrestlers into shape. “That’s a big tournament,” Bergman said of the annual trip. “The kids put in the work in during the summer. It’s a nice trip for the kids to build team camaraderie and get a lot of quality matches in. It’s important for our guys.” The tournaments that Oak Harbor has competed in have featured some stout competition, something that is no accident. Bergman, who has led the program for over a quarter-century, puts together a difficult schedule in order to challenge his wrestlers. Later in the season, the schedule will only become more challenging as the Rockets will compete in a number of prestigious tournaments, like the Medina Invite, the Perrysburg Invite and Clay’s Maumee Bay Classic.

Mya Staczek’s tenacity gets her through any sport By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com If opposing coaches expect to be able to physically wear down Lake senior guard Mya Staczek during games, forget it. “Because she’s such a a great athlete,” Flyers coach Joe Nowak said, “I’m not sure I’ve ever seen her tired. The motor that Mya has, and her speed and anticipation, really make her a valuable defensive player.” The 5-foot-9 Staczek is also a track standout at Lake. She competed in the 100and 200-meter dash and ran on the 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams last spring. She made it to the regional finals in the 100 as a junior, posting a career-best time of 12.86 seconds. “I also ran cross country the past two years,” Staczek said, “and that helps (my endurance). I might be tired after the game, but during the game I just don’t get that tired. That’s how I’ve always been.” Staczek tied a season high by scoring 19 points in the Flyers’ 60-44 win at Maumee last Saturday. She also had seven rebounds and three steals as Lake improved to 10-1. The Flyers entered Friday’s home game against Genoa with a 5-1 record in the Northern Buckeye Conference. Nowak said Staczek came into her own a year ago, when fellow senior guard Lexi Robinson missed eight games with an injury. Staczek averaged 20 points a game during Robinson’s absence and averaged 13.1 points on the season, earning first-team AllNBC and all-district honors. “She really came alive when Lexi got hurt, and she really stepped up her game,” Nowak said. “She took off from there and never looked back. She was a heck of a defender last year and she’s gotten better in that aspect. She’s one of the fastest kids I’ve ever coached.” Through 11 games Staczek was averaging 13.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 steals and 2.6 assists. She was shooting 55 percent from two-point range, 35 percent from 3-point range and 60 percent from the line. The Flyers were allowing just 40.9 points a game behind their full-court pressure defense, which in turn fuels their offense. Staczek is Lake’s best on-ball defend-

She’s aggressive and she has gotten herself in (foul) trouble from time to

time, but she keeps a great attitude.” Staczek said she has worked “a lot” on improving her defense. Her focus is to shut down the opponent’s main ball handler and force turnovers to set up her teammates for easy baskets. “It all starts once the person brings the

ball down the court,” said Staczek, who doesn’t shy away from diving for loose balls on the court. “When I play defense, I have to play really good to get the team going, to get us all working together. Once you start doing one good thing, everyone else does their part, too.” Staczek added that she rarely talks to her opponents, and they rarely talk to her. “The only time I talk to them is if someone falls,” she said. “I’ll be like, ‘are you OK?’ I don’t like to see anyone get hurt.” Staczek has also tried to become more of a vocal leader. Nowak, in his fourth season, said Staczek always has a great attitude and he never has to worry about her work ethic. She and Robinson have both been on the varsity squad for four years. “Mya is not a very vocal person,” Nowak said. “She is not critical of others, but she’s a great leader as far as leading by example. If we needed somebody the other girls could look up to as a player and a person, she’s the one you would look up to. Mya’s not just there to do her thing, she’s there to do things for everybody else, too.” Staczek said she agreed with Nowak’s assessment that she could be more vocal with her teammates. “I try to be vocal,” she said, “but most of the time I listen to what coach Nowak has to say and I’ll go out and do it. I feel like if I didn’t have my teammates’ respect, the team chemistry wouldn’t be that good. With them respecting me, I have to respect them.” Staczek said this year’s team is fun to be around. The Flyers can laugh and joke around, she said, but they also know when to get serious, especially defensively. “We rely on everyone’s individual defense,” Staczek said. “We like to pressure the ball a lot, and a lot of what we’ve been successful with starts with our defense. We mention at every practice to remember what you need to do to get to where we want to be. Our goal is to always be league champs.” Staczek said her plan is to study nursing and compete in a sport in college. “I’m most likely going to be running track,” she said. “I’m narrowing down my options right now. I would be OK playing basketball. Track and basketball are two of my favorite sports.”

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Putting Gratitude in Our Lives We all know how nice it is to be thanked for some small kindness or good deed which we have done for another. But perhaps more important than the warm feeling that we get when someone expresses their gratitude to us, is the positive outlook that gratitude usually engenders in the person who is grateful. That is, the feeling of being grateful helps to keep us focused on the positive. Instead of harping on how bad things are, or regretting the past, gratitude looks for the positive aspect and the silver lining. And although we all may occasionally feel sorry for

Northwood

ourselves, we can alleviate some of these feelings by getting into the habit of reminding ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for. Our good health, having friends and family who care about us, and even something as mundane as going to work, are truly things for which we ought to be grateful. We should spend some time each day counting our blessings. We might be pleasantly surprised to find that this exercise itself will make our lives better. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. N.I.V. 1 Chronicles 16:34
