Envirosafe

EPA holds hearing on proposed expansion The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency held a public information session and hearing in Oregon City Council Chambers on Tuesday to give information on Envirosafe Services of Ohio, Inc.’s request to vertically expand Cell M, its only active hazardous waste disposal cell.

Comments from the public were accepted at the hearing. Written comments will be accepted until Jan. 18.

ESOI, located at 876 Otter Creek Road, submitted a permit modification to expand a portion of Cell M on May 11 last year.

The Ohio EPA issued a draft approval for the modification Nov. 9. The agency is required to act on the permit modification request on or before May 14 this year.

Currently, ESOI has approximately three years of remaining capacity. If the modification is approved, the expansion would increase capacity by about five additional years.

Gary Deutschman, of the Ohio EPA, gave the presentation at the hearing to about 25 people in attendance.

Center of landfill The Cell M expansion is on the portion where soil and waste are exposed on the

west side and center of the landfill. Plans include a proposed new haul road to be constructed for additional waste placement on the top of the cell. The proposed primary fill area is in the center of the landfill.

Based on the last topographical survey, the landfill is currently at approximately 96 feet above ground surface. The cell is currently permitted to go up another 10 feet.

If expanded, the completed height would be 120 feet above ground surface or 24 feet higher than the current peak within the cell, said Deutschman.

“The proposed expansion does not increase the footprint of Cell M. The proposed expansion standardized the slopes on the southeast corner of Cell M to 3 feet

horizontal/1 foot vertical from 4 feet horizontal/1 foot vertical similar to existing slopes on the south and east sides of the landfill,” said Deutschman. “As a result of the increased slope, the final height of the landfill would increase 14 feet from 700 feet mean sea level to 714 mean sea level. This correlates to a final height of 120 feet above the natural ground surface.”

The existing total capacity of Cell M is 3,194,300 cubic yards. If approved, the total capacity would increase to 3,338,970 cubic yards. This amounts to a less than 5 percent proposed increase in the total capacity of Cell M. The remaining capacity of Cell M is calculated to be less than 100,000 cubic yards. If approved, the expansion would increase the remaining capacity by 144,670 cubic yards. Based on biennial reports submitted to Ohio EPA by Envirosafe since 2011, the hazardous waste facility disposes of approximately 50,000 tons of waste into Cell M each year. This correlates to approximately 30,000 cubic yards per year, according to Deutschman.

Closed cells The modification also updates the surface water retention analysis for the surface water retention ponds located adjacent to cells G and H - the closed older waste cells Continued on page 2

The Ohio Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case involving the role of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio in setting rate policy for FirstEnergy Corp. and its subsidiaries.

At issue is the approval by the PUCO of what is called a distribution modernization rider for three FirstEnergy companies, Ohio Edison, Cleveland Electric Illuminating and Toledo Edison, which distribute and transmit power service.

A rate rider is a temporary credit or charge on users’ bills that reflects the difference between actual and estimated costs for delivering energy.

A proposal by FirstEnergy in 2014 that would have been in effect from June 2016 through May 2019 offered customers the option of receiving electricity partially from power plants operated by FirstEnergy Solutions and from other markets. Under the company’s proposed rate stability rider, if the costs to provide power through the combination of FES-generated power and market-rate power were cheaper than the average market price, FirstEnergy would lower the bills for customers in its service territory. If the production price was higher, then customers would pay extra for electricity to offset the cost regardless if they chose FES and market mix plan or another electricity provider.

Opponents of the plan argued it was a scheme to saddle Ohio residents and businesses with subsidizing “non-competitive” coal and nuclear plants operated by FES. After hearing a complaint from opponents, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ruled any plan to combine rates by FES and the markets had to be approved by the FERC. FirstEnergy withdrew its rider proposal and proposed a new rate plan. Meanwhile, the PUCO in 2016 proposed an alternative rider and promoted it as a means to upContinued on page 2

grade the FirstEnergy electric grid, which could result in a savings for customers and boost economic development. Under the PUCO rider, FirstEnergy would collect about $132 million annually from January 2017 through 2020.

The Ohio Manufacturer’s Association Energy Group and Sierra Club appealed the PUCO approval of the FirstEnergy plan with the grid modernization rider to the state supreme court. The Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, the Ohio Environmental Council and other organizations also appealed.

A common element in their opposition to the PUCO decision is that it doesn’t require FirstEnergy to use the rider revenues on grid improvements. When it approved the FirstEnergy plan, the PUCO said it would provide credit support for FirstEnergy Corp., which was facing the prospect of a downgrade in its credit rating.

In a July brief to the court, the Sierra Club argued the approval of the distribution modernization rider wasn’t authorized by any provision of Ohio law.

“Because the DMR neither recovers costs for, nor requires the companies to invest in, distribution services for their customers, this rider is not approvable…,” the brief says.

The PUCO has countered the Ohio Revised Code has granted it broad powers to improve the distribution grid.

It also rejected the argument the rider provides transition revenues to the financially troubled coal and nuclear power plants, noting that their parent company, FirstEnergy Solutions, is separate from the distribution companies.

FirstEnergy Solutions announced in 2018 it planned to deactivate the DavisBesse Nuclear Power Station by May 2020.

The Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry Ohio is scheduled to be deactivated by May 2021 and units 1 and 2 of the Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pa. are to be deactivated by May 2021 and October 2021 respectively.

EPA holds hearing on proposed expansion Continued from front page

- due to completed corrective measures on the North and Central Sanitary landfills.

The analysis indicates that the existing retention ponds are adequately sized, according to Deutschman. Therefore, the modification does not include any modifications to the closed portions of the facility.

The Ohio EPA reviewed the permit modification request for compliance with the Ohio Administrative Code. “The proposed modified landfill was reviewed for slope stability with the increased slope and increased final height. The slope stability analysis of the landfill indicates that the landfill would remain stable with the factor of safety remaining above 1.5, with 1.0 being stable. Because the proposed expansion would expose the side slope of Cell M, Ohio EPA also reviewed water retention on the exposed waste. Ohio EPA also reviewed the constructability of the proposed expansion to minimize exposed waste during construction,” said Deutschman.

Future oversight If approved, Ohio EPA would monitor the expansion activities, according to Deutschman. Ohio EPA would monitor leachate management after rain events.

ESOI would be required to update the facility financial assurance if the modification is approved. The existing closure cost estimate for Cell M is approximately $2.4 million. ESOI has approximately $1.7 million excess dollars in their closure care account.

The expansion of Cell M is not expected to significantly alter the closure cost estimate for Cell M. Deutschman answered questions from the audience, including whether the Ohio EPA regularly schedules inspections at the Envirosafe site.

“We don’t schedule inspections,” he said. “Our inspections are done unannounced so the facility doesn’t know when

we’re coming up to do them so we can get a true view of how their operations are performing. Currently, we perform a minimum of four inspections per year.”

Those four inspections include two complete inspections and two focus compliance inspections. The complete inspections include a look at all the records of the last six months, and a drive around the site looking at the entire facility. In focus compliance inspections, inspectors pick a portion of the facility to be reviewed.

“It could be a waste analysis plan, it could be how their stabilization plant is working, how their construction of Cell M is going, how they’re maintaining post closure on the north side of the landfill,” he said.

Oregon Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, a long-time opponent of Envirosafe, asked how many correction actions are presently occurring at the site.

“They’re at the point where they’re getting ready to do corrective measures.

They’ve submitted a presumptive remedies for the facilities on the north side of the landfill, which we’re currently reviewing,” said Deutschman.

Bihn also asked whether there has been corrective action at Toledo’s two raw water lines, which go through the site.

“Have the waterlines been assessed?” asked Bihn.

Deutschman said there is corrective action going on at the Toledo waterlines.

“They are going to do some enhancements of the collection trenches along the waterlines to try to reduce the amount of rainwater getting into the trenches to reduce the overall cost to maintain those trenches,” he said.

A man in the audience asked whether the additional waste that will go into the

landfill if the expansion is approved could negatively impact Cell M. “They do calculations through proper engineering that show the base of the landfill could withstand the weight of the landfill,” said Deutschman.

A woman in the audience asked if the Cell M could vertically expand in the future.

“There’s not a whole lot of area that could go any higher,” he said.

After the meeting, Deutschman was asked by a reporter with The Press Newspapers to clarify how much higher Cell M could expand.

“There’s no limit on the number of modifications the facility could do. The limit is based on physics. After this one, there’s really no room for Envirosafe to go up vertically,” said Deutschman. He was also asked whether Envirosafe could request a horizontal expansion.

“Potentially,” he said.

State gives $10 million to protect Lake The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency recently received approval from the State Controlling Board to begin funding nearly $10 million in projects aimed toward helping to keep dredged material out of Lake Erie.

These projects are part of Ohio’s “Healthy Lake Erie Fund” efforts and will be managed by local officials and sponsors from Toledo, Lorain and Conneaut, the communities where these monies are being invested. These projects represent a portion of Ohio’s dredged material management program developed jointly by the Ohio EPA, ODNR, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with input from local stakeholders.

“Lake Erie is Ohio’s greatest natural resource and ensuring its health is vital for the continued success of the communities, businesses and families that depend on it,” said ODNR Director Jim Zehringer. “These projects represent a shared commitment between federal, state and local partners in helping to protect this great lake for generations.”

Repurposed material “These projects are part of Ohio EPA’s comprehensive strategy to manage nutrients entering Lake Erie,” said Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler. “They demonstrate how we can repurpose material dredged from Lake Erie’s harbors and use them in beneficial ways and not simply dumping this nutrient laden material into Lake Erie. I appreciate the widespread support these projects have from local stakeholders and the U.S. Army Corps.”

These projects will not only help improve and protect Lake Erie water quality, but will aid the navigation of vessels traveling in and out of the ports located in Toledo, Lorain and Conneaut. Dredged material removed from these Lake Erie ports

will be beneficially reused to provide nutrient rich soil for use in construction and habitat restoration projects. This material will also be used to improve conditions at brownfield sites in these communities. By placing and repurposing dredged material at these soon to be constructed sites, the waters of Lake Erie will be improved by reduced nutrient and sediment loads.

“Toledo has a tremendous challenge in beneficially reusing up to one million cubic yards of dredge material from the federal shipping channel every year,” said Paul Toth, President and CEO of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority. “The Port Authority is appreciative of the State of Ohio dedicating resources toward this effort. We will continue to work with the State of Ohio, the Army Corps of Engineers and others to identify and pursue new uses and locations where the material can be used beneficially in the region.”

Healthy Lake Erie These projects will provide opportunities for local economic development and job creation through public-private partnerships and will support continued maintenance and operation of the Federal navigation channels by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Additionally, these efforts address the requirement to utilize Healthy Lake Erie Funds to promote the beneficial use of dredge material and meet the July 1, 2020 ban on open-lake disposal of dredge material into Lake Erie.

“These projects are part of the state’s strategy to reduce all sources of nutrients as we work toward the goal set by the binational Water Quality Agreement to reduce nutrients going into Lake Erie by 40 percent by 2025,” Heidi Griesmer, of the Ohio EPA, told The Press last week. “It also helps move toward meeting the July 2020 ban on open lake disposal of dredge materials set forth by Senate Bill 1, which was passed

and signed into law in 2015.”

“The $4,000,000 grant the Ohio EPA and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Office of Coastal Management, awarded to the City of Lorain provides funding for the placement alternative needed for the bi-annual disposal of sediment dredged from the Black River, previously dumped in the open waters of Lake Erie,” said Lorain Mayor Chase Ritenauer.

Upgrade Facility 3 The state continues to pursue additional projects along the Lake Erie coast that will help to improve water quality and restore nearshore and coastal habitats.

This includes projects at each of the federal navigation channel harbors and a suite of projects that are being undertaken in the Sandusky Bay where dredge material will be beneficially reused to restore in-water wetlands and associated fisheries habitat.

“Over the last few years, Ohio has made a concerted effort to look for and develop beneficial use projects for dredged material and sediment,” said Griesmer.

“We have several pilot projects to beneficially use dredged material in place or in the works.”

For Toledo’s project, the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority will receive $1.9 million for planning, design and construction costs to upgrade the existing Facility 3 Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) owned and operated by the Port of Toledo.

“This project will provide capacity for the disposal of up to 1 million cubic yards per year of dredged material from the Toledo Harbor Federal navigation channel for the next six to 10 years.” said Griesmer.

Lake Erie to benefit from sewer project

By Press Staff Writer A sanitary sewer project in Erie Township will help reduce run-off into Lake Erie, the administrator of the Ottawa County Sanitary Engineering Department said last week, as the first phase of the project is completed.

A few remaining service connections will be completed early this year, Gino Monaco, said, adding the project extends approximately 1.2 miles of sanitary sewer main and laterals through the densely populated Ascher Beach area. It serves more than 176 units, including condominiums, single family dwellings, a mobile home park and several small commercial businesses.

The area was previously served by a number of old, under designed and under sized on-lot sewage treatment systems and package plants that were discharging inad-

equately treated sewage to the surface waters of Lake Erie.

“We look forward to enjoying a healthier Lake Erie in 2019 as this project represents a very solid step toward the reduction of nutrients into the nearby surface waters of Ottawa County’s Regional Water treatment plant intake and the City of Port Clinton’s Lakeview Beach,” he said.

The sanitary engineering department completed the first phase with partial funding through a federal program administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Monaco said the project was completed on time - in September - and under budget.

“The public component of the project went very well thanks to our contractor, Underground Utilities Inc., who did an excellent job working to install the new sanitary sewer system; our engineer,

Poggemeyer Design Group, who designed and inspected the installation, and last but not least our financial partners, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Ohio Public Works Commission, who provided the funding assistance for the construction of the project,” said Monaco. “The majority of the service connections have already been completed and the few that remain are permitted and will be connected in early 2019.”

Congress passed the Water Resources Development Act of 1999 to help alleviate environmental infrastructure problems.

The law provides a program of federal assistance through the Corps. The program uses a reimbursement format, whereby 75 percent of eligible costs are borne by the government and 25 percent of the costs are borne by the local sponsor.

Patrol: fatalities down in 2018 The Ohio State Highway Patrol reported 11 deaths on Ohio roadways during the 2018-2019 New Year holiday, according to provisional statistics.

Six fatalities were the result of not wearing a seat belt when available and four were OVI-related. The five-day reporting period began at midnight Friday, Dec. 28, 2018 and ran through 11:59 p.m. Jan. 1, 2019. This number is higher than the four-day reporting period last year, when six fatalities were reported.

Troopers made 6,040 traffic enforcement contacts including 448 OVI arrests, 231 drug arrests and 952 safety belt citations. In addition, troopers made 10,807 non-enforcement contacts including 2,204 motorist assists.

In 2018, there were 1,063 confirmed fatalities on Ohio’s roads according to provisional data; a 10 percent decrease compared to 2017.

A statistical analysis of the Patrol’s enforcement activity over the holiday is available at: https://www.statepatrol. ohio.gov/doc/NewYearHoliday2019. pdf.

Keynote speaker Kylee Gregg, a human trafficking survivor/thriver, will share her story.

Several area agencies will be on hand offering resources on the services they provide within the community.

The National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Club Inc. will volunteer with the Coalition at this year’s event.

A light breakfast will be served and coffee is being donated by Flying Rhino Coffee. Attendees are asked to bring a personal hygiene item to donate to local human trafficking victims.

The LCHTC was established in 2008 and implemented in January 2009 to combat human trafficking in Toledo and the surrounding region.

It is comprised of healthcare professionals, social workers, law enforcement, government agencies, health departments, churches, concerned citizens and many others who work to combat human trafficking in our region.

The LCHTC meets the third Wednesday of every month at 9:15 a.m. at the Kent Branch Library. All are invited to attend. Follow the Lucas County Human Trafficking Coalition on Facebook for information and event information related to human trafficking throughout Northwest Ohio.

All-in-One Days

Dalton joins Metroparks board Two additional members of the Board of Park Commissioners, Jerusalem Township resident Kevin Dalton and Molly Luetke, were sworn in last week by Judge Jack Puffenberger in Lucas County Probate Court. Current board president Scott Savage was sworn to a fifth term the Friday prior.

At their last meeting, current members Savage, Lera Doneghy and Fritz Byers voted to expand the board from three to five members to increase capacity and expand representation in the community. Judge Puffenberger, who appoints members to the volunteer board, said he believes the members he selected will do just that.

Kevin Dalton, who taught first grade for 15-years before being elected president of the Toledo Federation of Teachers, representing 3,500 educators, is a Jerusalem Township native and current resident.

Judge Puffenberger said having a representative of the eastern part of the county is

important because of Metroparks recent addition of Howard Marsh and future plans for the former Marina District. He also said it is important to represent organized labor.

Dalton holds graduate and undergraduate degrees from the University of Toledo.

Dalton was appointed to a two-year term and Luetke to a one-year term, to stagger the terms of office. In the future, both seats will be appointed to three-year terms, like the existing members.

Savage joined the board in 2007, but his service to the park district began in 2002 when he co-chaired a levy campaign to purchase additional parkland. Passage of the levy, with two-thirds of the vote, sparked an unprecedented period of growth, from about 7,500 to 12,000 acres, and from nine to 16 parks. Three more parks are in various stages of development.

Luetke and Dalton are the 24th and 25th people appointed to the board since Metroparks was established in 1928.

Terra State Community College will host All-in-One Days Jan. 13 and 14 to help students enroll in classes for the spring and summer 2019 semesters. All-in-One Days will be held from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. in Roy Klay Hall. During this event, new and returning students may apply for admission if they have not already done so, take the appropriate placement tests, meet with an advisor, enroll in classes and receive assistance with financial aid.

Current students who have not yet registered may walk in. Visit www.terra. edu to register or contact the Terra State Admissions and Advising Office at 419-5592349 or admissions@terra.edu.

Library goes fine-free To improve access and opportunity in the community, the Toledo Lucas County Public Library (TLCPL) eliminated overdue fines effective Jan. 1.

Statistics show library systems that have phased out charging late fees have seen increases in the amount of materials borrowed, without any significant increase in materials not returned. Fines and fees make up less than 1 percent of funding for TLCPL. Enforcing, collecting, managing and explaining fines to customers who are confused or upset over fines costs money.

It also takes a lot of time for library staff.

Eradicating overdue fines does not mean eliminating accountability. Customers who haven’t returned or renewed books won’t be able to check out additional ones.

New business, Davis-Besse featured in OCIC report

By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Implementation of the Community Reinvestment Area program in Ottawa County has resulted in one business expansion and the pending opening of another, Jamie Beier Grant, director of the OCIC, said last week in the OCIC annual report for 2018.

In Clay Township, Owen’s Ark Veterinary Clinic broke ground in mid2018 for an expansion at its office on State Rt. 51 and in the City of Port Clinton, RAR Hospitality cleared the former Travelodge site for the construction of a Fairfield Inn & Suites that is scheduled to open later this year.

The Ohio CRA program provides real property tax exemptions for property owners who renovate existing or construct new buildings.

Beier Grant said the OCIC Revolving Loan Fund also continues to be an important tool for supporting investment in small business.

Currently, the fund portfolio includes about $436,000 in loans that have supported more than $2.55 million in projects and created or retained 103 jobs. Last year, Twin Oast Brewing, LLC opened its doors in Catawba Island Township.

The OCIC is in its second full year of operating the OhioMeansJobs Ottawa County location in the county. It serves job seekers and businesses seeking employees.

Chrissy Ernsberger was hired last year as the employment resources coordinator and Tricia Tallman as the employment resources assistant.

Support Stone Lab Learn about everything from marine debris to harmful algal blooms when you join Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Laboratory staff for fun and educational activities at the 2019 Cleveland Boat Show at the I-X Center from January 17-21.

Sea Grant experts will be available to discuss harmful algal blooms, invasive species, marine debris, clean boating and climate change, along with educational opportunities available at Stone Laboratory, The Ohio State University's island campus on Lake Erie.

"We encourage everyone to visit our booth to learn more about all Lake Erie has to offer and how people can help protect it for future generations," said Jill Bartolotta, Ohio Sea Grant Extension educator.

The site last year assisted 481 persons with preparing resumes and held 39 job search workshops for the public. It also partnered with the county juvenile court probation office to work with the court’s diversion and probation programs, providing assistance with resume building, job opportunities and interview skills.

Beier Grant said the OhioMeansJobs program is also working with the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, Sober Living House and municipal court to provide services to those wanting to re-enter the workforce.

The OCIC continued its efforts last year to keep the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station operating and avoiding a looming shut down.

In October, a coalition of community leaders, elected officials and business and labor organizations formed the Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance to promote the economic and other benefits of the two nuclear plants in Ohio.

FirstEnergy Solutions announced in 2018 it planned to deactivate the DavisBesse Nuclear Power Station by May 2020.

The Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry Ohio is scheduled to be deactivated by May 2021 and units 1 and 2 of the Beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, Pa. are to be deactivated by May 2021 and October 2021 respectively.

The coalition is also enlisting the state legislature to find relief for the Ohio plants.

Road work Trees and debris along Elmore Eastern Road between State Route 590 and Hessville Road in Ottawa County are being cleared by crews, requiring the road to be closed.

Work began Jan. 10 and is expected to be completed by Feb. 8.

Work hours are 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday. Buses, emergency vehicles and local traffic will be permitted.

Latta has pay withheld during govt. shutdown Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) has had his pay withheld by the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for the length of the partial government shutdown.

Latta announced on his Facebook account on Dec. 22, the first day of the shutdown, that he had provided the CAO with a letter asking for his pay to be withheld.

In addition, Latta has co-sponsored a proposed Constitutional Amendment, H.J.Res.18, introduced

by Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), that would prevent members of Congress from receiving pay during a government shutdown.

“While I hope we can soon pass an appropriations bill that opens the government and secures our border, members of Congress should not be receiving their paychecks while other federal workers are not receiving theirs,” Latta said.

“On the first day of the shutdown, I instructed the CAO to withhold my paycheck. However, it shouldn’t take action by individual members to have their pay stopped – the default should be that U.S. Representatives and Senators are not paid while the government is closed.

“This Constitutional Amendment would fix this problem and hold members of Congress accountable for being unable to keep the government open.”

Reward offered for information A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a driver of a pick-up truck that backed into another vehicle parked at the Meijer gas station Jan. 6.

Larry Erard, Walbridge, is offering the reward.

He said his wife’s 2009 Nissan was parked at the station’s pumps about 11:40 p.m. when a silver pickup with yellow/orange license plates backed into her car, causing extensive damage.

The truck sped off toward the Meijer parking lot and a man ran from the gas station store to the waiting truck, he said.

A report has been filed with the Northwood Police Department.

Lookout for opportunites to be someone’s answer We all look for answers for the problems and challenges we face. Everyone has off days where they feel down. Not enough people believe that they matter, or make a difference to others. It’s easy to feel insignificant in the grand scheme.

But you do matter. Your actions matter.

You can be someone else’s answer. A simple act of kindness to a complete stranger can change the direction of their day, or be even more significant. Consider the following examples: Amy was a young mother, with young children, going through a divorce. Her finances were very limited since she hadn’t yet found a job. Amy was worried about how she was going to cover her bills and provide for her children.

Amy started finding grocery bags of food on her porch several times a week.

The food kept appearing for weeks until Amy found a job. Amy never found out who had been so kind to be her answer during such a time of need.

After leaving a local store a few miles

Kindness appreciated To the editor: On Dec. 28, I was at the Oregon Walmart, standing in line when my phone rang. I was expecting joyful news that a lovely new grandbaby was on the way but the call turned out to be grave news I didn’t expect.

The baby was born early, placed onto life support, but wouldn’t survive.

I immediately felt grief and couldn’t control my tears. My mother was with me and held me close while trying to control her tears as well.

I looked up to see a young girl reaching out to offer us a warm smile and embrace without even knowing us or why we were crying. Her smile warmed my heart. She offered a condolence and then stepped back.

Then her mother stepped forward and offered the same.

I was touched by their kindness. The young girl’s name was Makayla (I’m not sure of the spelling) but I hope you know who you are. I wanted to thank them and others for their compassion.

Our family was also moved by the kindness of other family members, friends and neighbors during this difficult time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Each day, as we hear in the news, there are events happening that have a way of putting life’s perspectives in order. Words cannot describe the pride and admiration I feel living in Ottawa County, where I am blessed to have the opportunity to recount numerous interactions I have with both those in need and those who donate.

It is because of the caring and generous residents in our county that I am able to report that, although we did not meet the $70,000 monetary Red Kettle Goal, we have exceeded our giving capacity in so many

extra ways.

Besides the $66,971.15 we raised in the Red Kettles alone, the many toys, bikes, coats, hats, gloves, socks, boots and mittens that were donated this year far surpassed previous years’ collections.

This is not only amazing, but is another record for the Salvation Army Christmas Campaign in Ottawa County.

If not for our 496 volunteers and their 1,416 hours of bell ringing, and our Red Kettle sites including Walmart, Kroger, Friendship Food Store, Miller’s Market and Community Market in Oak Harbor, this would not have been possible.

We were able to distribute more than 7,600 toys to over 1,227 children (with the help of 72 volunteers and 440 volunteer hours). We also distributed hats, gloves, mittens, coats, socks, and also raised $17,581 at our 15th Annual Tree-A-Rama Charity Auction.

This success is made possible by the multitude of volunteers and community supporters in Ottawa County that come together during this season and put others first and “Make a Difference” in our community and ultimately in our world.

“The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion” is our motto.

It is an honor to be able to say I work and live in Ottawa County and am able to serve those in need through the Salvation Army Port Clinton Service Unit. I am truly blessed.

Money & politics To the editor: American Promise in Port Clinton is asking for support in ending the unlimited and hidden influence of money in elections and governance. We want to stop the domination of money in our political system so our legislators, both Republican and Democratic, may represent the people, our communities, states and

nation, rather than donors and special interests.

Representing the Ninth Congressional District in Ohio, Marcy Kaptur has signed the American Promise pledge to work for reform. She has been active with the House Bi-Partisan Campaign Finance Caucus working toward the fundamental changes we need to strengthen a political system dominated by money.

She has introduced a constitutional amendment resolution as well as a bill that targets foreign money in our elections.

Congresswoman Kaptur is a strong advocate for the reforms that people want.

With a new Congress comes new opportunity. We ask that Rep. Kaptur continue with these cross-partisan efforts to get money out of politics and become a champion for her constituents.

Tired of hate To the editor: I don’t know about you but I am tired of seeing young people being assaulted with a baseball bat. I don’t know about you but I am tired of innocent children being shot through car windows. I don’t know about you but I am tired of seeing children in the safety of their homes being shot through windows that should be for watching parents returning from work and waiting for their friends to come get them to play outside.

I don’t know about you but I’m tired of the divisions that pull us apart, that are highlighted on the news constantly. I’m tired of the hate and prejudice that prevents us from coming together. There is a better way.

How about we seek out the commonalities between us and learn about each other? How would the world change if we just loved each other as we are commanded by our morals and our faith? It all begins with you, we are the people and we matter.

It’s time to show the people in power that

But when she looked up, Karen saw a young man smiling at her. He offered to take the suitcase down the escalator for her. The man took her heavy bag and helped Karen get to the train platform at the bottom of the escalator.

The stranger smiled again at Karen and told her he hoped her day would get better. He then vanished into the crowd. This simple act of kindness transformed Karen’s day. The kind stranger was Karen’s answer.

Always be on the lookout for opportunities to be someone’s answer. There is no gesture which is too insignificant. Your actions often mean more to the other person than you realize.

St. Charles Hospital verified as Level III Trauma Center The trauma center at Mercy Health – St. Charles Hospital has been verified as a Level III Trauma Center by the Verification Review Committee (VRC), an ad hoc committee of the Committee on Trauma (COT) of the American College of Surgeons (ACS).

Established by the American College of Surgeons in 1987, the COT’s Consultation/ Verification Program for Hospitals promotes the development of trauma centers in which participants provide not only the hospital resources necessary for trauma care, but also the entire spectrum of care to address the needs of all injured patients. This spectrum encompasses the pre-hospital phase through the rehabilitation process.

“This verification is a testament to the hard work of the St. Charles trauma team,” said Craig Albers, president of Mercy Health – St. Charles Hospital.

Verified trauma centers must meet the essential criteria that ensure trauma care capability and institutional performance, as outlined by the American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma in its current Resources for Optimal Care of the Injured Patient manual.

As a Level III Trauma Center, St. Charles is rated on several requirements, including being able to provide prompt assessment, resuscitation, emergency operations, and stabilization and also arrange for transfer to a facility that can provide definitive trauma care when needed. Additionally, this designation means that a surgeon is available when needed and that the hospital participates in regional disaster management plans and exercises.

The ACS Committee on Trauma’s verification program does not designate trauma centers. Rather, the program provides confirmation that a trauma center has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest quality trauma care for all injured patients. The actual establishment and the designation of trauma centers is the function of local, regional, or state health care systems agencies, such as the local emergency medical services (EMS) authority.

There are five separate categories of verification in the COT’s program. Each category has specific criteria that must be met by a facility seeking that level of verification. Each hospital has an on-site review by a team of experienced site reviewers, who use the current Resources for the Optimal Care of the Injured Patient manual as a guideline in conducting the survey.

The cheerleaders are taking donations now and will also be collecting donations during halftime and after the event at the game. To supplement their donations, they are holding a fundraiser at Buffalo Wild Wings in Bowling Green on Wednesday, Jan. 16 from 5-9 p.m. For patrons who present a flyer, 15 percent of the check will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Smoking cessation help If your New Year’s Resolution included quitting smoking or tobacco use, the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department’s Community Cessation Initiative is ready to help.

Quitting tobacco use is hard, but it’s one of the best things you can do for your health, said Toledo-Lucas County Health Commissioner Eric Zgodzinski. “On a positive note, if you stop smoking, your body will heal itself and repair the damage,” he said. “In fact, your blood pressure will return to normal within 20 minutes, and after three months, your lungs will function normal again.”

Studies have shown that smokers are significantly more likely to be successful in quitting smoking with a plan, including support such as nicotine replacement therapy (a patch, gum, etc.) and with cessation counseling.

The Community Cessation Initiative can help. The service is free and offers incentives.

To get connected with free help, call CCI at 419-213-4558 or visit www.lucascountyhealth.com/tobacco-cessation-prevention/tobacco-cessation/.

The benefits of quitting smoking begin quickly, extend a lifetime So many people set a goal to stop smoking at the beginning of the year, but lose heart and give in to the nicotine addiction that lures them back in.

For those who are able to continue with their pursuit of being smoke-free this is what begins to happen from the moment you quit: • 20 minutes: In as little as 20 minutes you’ll start to feel the benefits of not smoking. Twenty minutes after your last cigarette, your heart rate will already start to drop back towards normal levels • Two hours: After two hours without a cigarette, your heart rate and blood pressure will have decreased to near normal levels. Your peripheral circulation may also improve. The tips of your fingers and toes may start to feel warm. Nicotine withdrawal symptoms usually start about two hours after your last cigarette.

• 12 hours: In just 12 hours after quitting smoking, the carbon monoxide in your body decreases to lower levels, and your blood oxygen levels increase to normal.

• 24 hours: Believe it or not, just one full

day after quitting smoking, your risk for heart attack will already have begun to drop. While you’re not quite out of the woods yet, you’re on your way.

• 48 hours: After 48 hours without a cigarette, your nerve endings will start to regrow, and your ability to smell and taste is enhanced.

• Three days: At this point, the nicotine will be completely out of your body.

Unfortunately, that means that the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal will generally peak around this time.

• Two weeks: After a couple of weeks, you’ll be able to exercise and perform physical activities without feeling winded and sick. This is due to a number of regenerative processes that will begin to occur in your body; your circulation will improve, and your lung function will also improve significantly. After two or three weeks without smoking, your lungs may start to feel clear, and you’ll start breathing easier. For most smokers, withdrawal symptoms dissipate about two weeks after quitting.

• One to nine months after you quit: Starting about a month after you quit, your lungs begin to repair. Inside them, the cilia—the tiny, hair-like organelles that push mucus out—will start to repair themselves and function properly again. With the cilia now able to do their job, they will help to reduce your risk of infection. With properly functioning lungs, your coughing and shortness of breath may continue to decrease dramatically. Even for the heaviest smokers, withdrawal symptoms will go away no more than several months after quitting.

• One year: After a year without smoking, your risk for heart disease is lowered by 50 percent compared to when you were still smoking (CDC, 2004). Another way to look at it is that a smoker is more than twice as likely as you are to have any type of heart disease.

• Five to 15 years: After five to 15 years of being smoke-free, your risk of having a stroke is the same as someone who doesn’t smoke.

Smoking accounts for 90 percent of lung cancer deaths worldwide. It may take 10

years, but if you quit, eventually your risk of dying from lung cancer will drop to half that of a smoker’s (CDC, 2004). Ten years after quitting, your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas also decreases.

• 15 years: Fifteen years of non-smoking will bring your risk of heart disease back to the same level as someone who doesn’t smoke (CDC, 2004). You’ll no longer be at a higher-than-normal risk for a wide range of conditions like heart attack, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias and angina.

According to the American Heart Association, non-smokers, on average, live 14 years longer than smokers (AHA, 2011).

By quitting now, you’ll extend your life span and live those extra years with a functional cardiovascular system, while being active and feeling great.

Social Security welcomes appeals to disability benefit decisions

By Erin Thompson Social Security Public Affairs Specialist, Toledo Social Security is here to help secure today and tomorrow by providing benefits and financial protection for millions of people. This assistance allows people with severe disabilities and health conditions to take care of the necessities of living, such as food, shelter, and medications.

It is imperative that we continue to protect the integrity of the disability program for everyone by ensuring we make the correct decision on each claim. However, if you do not agree with our decision, you can ask us to take another look by filing an appeal.

Generally, there are four appeal levels: • Reconsideration; • Hearing; • Appeals Council Review;

• Federal Court Review.

At the reconsideration level, someone who did not make the first decision on your claim will conduct a review and accept any additional evidence. Please note, in some states, appeals may proceed directly to the next step – the hearing. If you disagree with the reconsideration decision, you can file another appeal and your case will go to the hearing level. You, and any witnesses you bring, may present your case in front of an administrative law judge during this stage. The judge will then make a decision based on the information.

If you disagree with the hearing decision, you can ask for a review by the Social Security Appeals Council. The Appeals Council can either make a decision or return your case to the judge for further review.

If you disagree with the Appeals

Council’s decision or they decide not to review your case, the last step in the appeals process is filing a lawsuit in a federal district’s court. You will be notified of our decision in every step of the process and the notice will have the information needed should you decide to appeal the decision.

If you receive a denial notice, you have 60 days from that date to file an appeal.

There are several ways to obtain the proper appeal forms. The easiest and quickest way is filing online by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/benefits/disability/appeal. html. You will be able to submit documents electronically to associate with your appeal request. You can also call us at 1-800-7721213 or visit your local Social Security office to obtain the forms.

Many people wonder if they need a lawyer when filing and appealing disability benefits. Whether you choose to appoint

an attorney or authorized representative is completely up to you. However, it is not required that you have one in any part of the process or in conducting business with Social Security. If you decide to appoint a representative, be sure to complete the necessary documents to authorize us to speak to them on your behalf. You can also read our publication, “Your Right to Representation at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-0510075.pdf.”

Social Security takes considerable pride in administering program benefits timely and accurately. The disability program is no exception. This is why we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible if you disagree with our decision. Give us a call, visit the local office, or go online at www.socialsecurity.gov/benefits/disability/appeal.html so we can take another look at your claim.

Toilet stool may solve common bowel issues you may have

Rachel Shepherd (left) explains the benefits of using a toilet stool to a patient at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She says propping your feet on a stool in the bathroom can help alleviate many common bowel symptoms. (Photo courtesy of Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center)

“

Bowel movements are difficult to talk about and not a lot of people want to bring up their constipation

“

Most people aren’t eager to talk about how to improve bowel movements, but researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center found the solution to common bowel issues may be as simple as boosting your feet on a stool.

“These toilet stools became popular through things like viral videos and social media, but there was really no medical evidence to show whether or not they are effective.” said Dr. Peter Stanich, assistant professor of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine.

“This study shows that these simple devices may help symptoms like constipation, bloating and incomplete emptiness and can help people have more comfortable and effective bowel movements.”

The study, which is published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, was completed with healthy volunteers as participants. Despite this, 44 percent of participants reported increased straining and nearly a third said they had trouble completely emptying their bowels.

At the end of the four-week study, 71 percent of participants experienced faster bowel movements, and 90 percent reported less straining. “Importantly, at the conclusion of the study, two-thirds of participants said they would continue to use a toilet stool,” said Stanich, who co-authored the study.

The key to their effectiveness is body positioning. The body is designed to be in a squatting position, but sitting on a toilet creates a bend in the rectum that makes it more difficult to have complete bowel movements.

“Bowel movements are difficult to talk about and not a lot of people want to bring up their constipation,” said Rachel Shepherd, a physical therapist at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center who specializes in treating pelvic floor disorders.

“But if there’s something as simple as changing the position by adding a stool, then that’s an easy fix that anyone can add in.”

One in six Americans experiences constipation. Having an easier time in the bathroom can prevent issues like bloating, constipation and hemorrhoids. Leaving bathroom troubles unresolved can lead to discomfort and more serious health issues such as damage to the pelvic floor and hernias.

“I would encourage everyone with bowel problems, constipation or diarrhea to make sure they discuss it with their doctor. Not only can your doctor likely help you feel better, but it may head off more serious disease down the road,” Stanich said.

Other researchers on the team include Dr. Rohan Modi, Alice Hinton, Dr. Daniel Pinkhas, Dr. Royce Groce, Dr. Marty Meyer, Dr. Gokulakrishnam Balasubramanian and Dr. Edward Levine.

Is vaping safe alternative?

The

RESS

Metro • Suburban • Explore

From the American Counseling Association While we’re all aware that cigarette smoking is dangerous and unhealthy, it’s still a very serious and difficult addiction for many. And while most smokers may want to quit, most of them certainly don’t want their children to ever start smoking.

Unfortunately, many kids have turned to vaping, those electronic substitutes for cigarettes, because they, and often their parents, are under the mistaken impression that it’s safer.

It’s not.

The nicotine in electronic cigarettes is highly addictive and the other chemicals involved can harm health.

Vaping manufacturers were quick to realize the appeal this new form of smoking could have for young people. They produced various fruit flavors to make the product more enjoyable for young people. Although the Food and Drug Administration has said it may regulate vaping, for now kids are still vaping in growing numbers.

The health issues associated with vaping are many. It’s not a product regulated by the FDA. This means that when a package shows the amount of nicotine in the product, it may not always be accurate. Some vaping cartridges labeled “no nicotine” were still found to have nicotine present when tested.

The chemicals used in these products are also dangerous. Most vaping cartridges use propylene glycol to create the clouds of “vapor” that these products produce. It’s a chemical used in many household products, such as hand sanitizer, antifreeze, and deodorants – nothing you ever want to put in your mouth. Did we mention it’s also used as an aircraft deicer?

Most vaping cartridges contain over 720 milligrams of nicotine, although it’s released in small doses when “smoked.”

Nicotine is highly addictive and can be fatally poisonous in amounts as small as 40 to 50 milligrams. These cartridges are a real, possibly fatal danger if a small child or a pet should eat one.

Many youths are trying vaping because they, and often their parents too, are under the mistaken impression the electronic cigarettes are safer. Photo courtesy of Advocate Health Care Health Enews.

Vaping is still a new enough activity that there are no studies on what the longterm health effects might be. What has been shown already is that there’s no evidence that it helps an individual stop smoking, and studies have found that vaping for as little as 10 minutes can worsen lung function.

If your kids think vaping is a safe alternative, have a serious talk with them. The unknown health risks they may be facing aren’t worth “looking cool” with this new addiction. Discouraging this practice now can mean healthier kids in the future.

Opioid addiction affects health Crime Prevention Corner

by Ron Craig

“

People are divided on their opinions about how to deal with addicts.

“

The current opioid epidemic is having a profound effect on the health of many Americans and in ways that most people don’t even initially consider. It has also had a huge impact on crime prevention.

Of course, there is the detrimental effect on those who have become addicted.

In addition to the obvious problems the opioids cause on their bodies, they can have lifelong effects on the brain. Years ago, there was a saying about drug users’ “brains being fried” for life.

Most people who are not familiar with addicts and addiction don’t know the problems opioids have on the rest of the body, not the least of which can be severe constipation. The digestive system becomes totally “ought of whack,” as one might say.

Addiction can also have an adverse effect on an addict’s loved ones. Not only do they have issues associated with worry about the addict, but many mothers and fathers of addicts, and even grandparents of addicts, are now saddled with raising the children of an addict. This is because the addicts are not capable of raising their children, who have become less important than getting a next fix.

Ask any social worker who deals with family matters, and they will tell you how the number of such cases has skyrocketed in recent years. When older adults should be making decisions on what exotic destination to which they will be headed, they instead will only be dreaming of it because they are tied down at home to raise their grandchildren or great-grandchildren.

As adults grow older, they may feel a great level of anxiety knowing they had already done their jobs raising children.

They feel they have no choice but to take over child rearing for the addict out of a sense of duty to the family unit.

Drug addiction has also had a profound effect on our legal system. Just about any judge will tell you they now deal with a great majority of crimes and criminals that are before the bench due to drug addiction.

The issue has also made crime prevention more important than ever.

Law enforcement personnel now deal with a great increase in crime that is rooted

in addiction to drugs. There has been a big increase in the number of thefts, burglaries, and home invasions that can be attributed to an addiction to opioids and other drugs.

Home invasions and burglaries, particularly daytime burglaries, have increased multifold in recent years as addicts become more brazen in their attempts to get a hold of just about anything they turn into a quick buck to get their next high.

Home invasions can be especially dangerous as a person at home at the time of the event can be injured or worse. An addict may stop at nothing to get what they entered a home for.

These daytime burglaries and home invasions sometimes result in the theft of guns that will most likely end up in the hands of dangerous criminals that may be traced to a homicide.

People are divided on their opinions about how to deal with addicts. There are those who think they should be sent directly to treatment, and those who think they should go to jail. Even jail may be where they are forced to get that treatment.

There is no one solution to the problem, but rest assured, we need to address the issue before it becomes even worse.

Take steps to prevent common skin infections at the gym As more people flock to the gym for their New Year’s resolutions, dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology are offering words of caution for gym members.

While working out has many benefits, including weight control, disease prevention and even mood improvement, germs can thrive at the gym. This could put gymgoers at risk for a variety of common skin infections — unless they take certain precautions.

“While skin infections are not a reason to cancel your gym membership, it’s important to follow a few simple steps to avoid germs while you’re at the gym,” says board-certified dermatologist Brian Burke Adams, MD, MPH, FAAD, a professor and chair of dermatology at the University of Cincinnati. “The bacteria, viruses and fungi that cause skin infections to develop thrive in warm, moist places like sweaty exercise equipment and locker room showers. If you’re not careful, you could end up with an infection like ringworm, plantar warts or impetigo.”

To help prevent skin infections at the gym, Dr. Adams recommends the following tips: • Wear loose-fitting, moisture-wick-

Forget skipping the gym to avoid skin infections — bring a towel to use as a barrier between your skin and shared surfaces, like workout benches and bicycle seats. ing clothes. This will help keep your skin dry and prevent germs from growing.

Remember to wash your gym clothes after wearing them.

• Always wear shoes, especially around pools, and in locker rooms and showers. Keep a pair of shower shoes, flip-

flops or sandals in your gym bag. Never walk barefoot at a public gym.

• Keep any cuts clean and covered.

Avoid using saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs until your wound is healed.

• Disinfect equipment before and after using it. Clean equipment with disinfectant

wipes or spray. For additional protection, consider adding a barrier, such as a towel, between your skin and shared surfaces, like workout benches and bicycle seats. When it’s possible to provide your own equipment, such as a yoga mat, bring it from home rather than using the gym’s.

• Wash or sanitize your hands immediately after working out.

• Shower as soon as possible. After showering, put on clean clothes, including clean socks and underwear. Never share personal care items, including towels and razors.

• “Without treatment, skin infections can worsen,” Dr. Adams says. “Keep an eye on your skin, and if you notice signs of an infection, such as increased pain or swelling, pus or persistent redness, make an appointment to see a board-certified dermatologist.”

These tips are demonstrated in “How to Prevent Skin Infections at the Gym,” a video posted to the AAD website and YouTube channel. This video is part of the AAD’s “Video of the Month” series, which offers tips people can use to properly care for their skin, hair and nails. A new video in the series posts to the AAD website and YouTube channel each month.

Banish belly fat and improve your cardiovascular health The way to a person’s heart may be through his or her stomach in more ways than one. Doctors have tied heart health to the abdomen, and having extra pounds around one’s middle can be detrimental to cardiovascular well-being.

Excess visceral fat in the belly, something doctors refer to as “central adiposity”, may have potentially dangerous consequences. While the link between belly fat and heart health has long been associated with men, women may be even more vulnerable to the adverse health effects of belly fat. A study published in March 2018 in the Journal of the American Heart Asso-

u o Y Did

ciation examined 500,000 people between the ages of 40 and 69. Participants had their body measurements taken, and then were kept track of for heart attack occurrence over the next seven years. During that period, the women who carried more weight around their middles (measured by waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio or waistto-height ratio) had a 10 to 20 percent greater risk of heart attack than women who were just heavier over all.

Belly fat is particularly dangerous because it doesn’t just include the insulating, or subcutaneous, fat under the skin. It is largely visceral fat that also surrounds the

organs in the abdomen. Harvard Medical School reports that visceral fat is metabolically active and has been strongly linked to a host of serious diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and dementia. Visceral fat is like an endocrine organ that secretes hormones and a host of other chemicals linked to diseases that can affect adults. One substance is called retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), which has been tied to an increased risk of coronary heart disease. In 2015, a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that normal-weight people with excessive belly fat had a higher risk of dying of heart

disease or any other cause compared with people without central obesity.

The online health and wellness resource Medical News Today says doctors determine belly fat to be a problem when a woman’s waist measures 35 inches or more and a man’s 40 inches or more. MRIs also can be used as a fat analyzer and will be judged on a scale of 1 to 59. A measurement of 13 and under is desireable.

The Mayo Clinic advises that poor diet and fitness habits can contribute to belly fat. As people age, they may have to make more drastic changes to their diets and exercise regimens.

THE PRESS

JANUARY 14, 2019

Top sports events of 2018

History will always remember the Genoa wrestlers State championships, national championships, and even global championships are part of The Press’ top sporting events involving local athletes in 2018.

But we have to give the top nod to the Genoa wrestling team, which won, not just one, not just two, but three state championships, including two team state titles and one individual title.

So, here we go with the best of 2018 — 1. Genoa wrestling wins a Division III state championship in the team dual tournament at St. John Arena by defeating Massillon Tuslaw, 40-20, in the final and then follows that by winning another state championship in the individual tournament, scoring 113½ points to beat runnerup Ashtabula St. John by 33 points. Junior 132-pounder Dylan D’Emilio finishes 52-0 and wins his third state title. Juniors Oscar Sanchez (113) and Julian Sanchez (120) are state runners-up. Sophomore Dustin Morgillo (138) and juniors James Limongi (160) and Noah Koch (285) finish third. Also qualifying is senior Xavier Beach at 182.

2. Ashland University senior wrestler Luke Cramer wins an NCAA D-II national championship at 195 pounds and earns All-American honors, finishing the season 25-1. He had already won a D-II state championship for Oak Harbor and earned All-American honors for Ashland the year before, but this was his first national title.

3. Eastwood junior Erik Fertig and senior Katelyn Meyer win championships at the D-II state track meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus. Fertig took first place in the discus (161 feet, one inch) and Meyer, who qualified for three events, leaped five feet, nine inches to win the high jump. She also took second place in the long jump (17-10) and qualified for the 100-meter hurdles. Meyer makes The Press’ top 15 sports events for two different feats — college volleyball (see No. 5) and prep track.

4. Former Waite and Florida State University basketball standout Natasha Howard picked up her second straight WNBA title in leading the Seattle Storm to a 98-82 game three win over the Washington Mystics. Howard, a 6-foot-2, 165 pound forward, led all players with 29 points and 14 rebounds and was named the WNBA’s Most Improved Player.

5. Bowling Green State University 5-foot-8 senior libero/defensive specialist Kallie Seimet (Clay) is named MidAmerican Conference Player of the Year for the second year in a row. She was also MAC East Defensive Player of the Week on five occasions and she is joined on the AllMAC first team by 5-foot-10 freshman outside hitter Katelyn Meyer (Eastwood). Also playing for BGSU is Oregon native Ryann Cox (St. Ursula), a 5-6 defensive specialist, and the sister of Michigan State sophomore volleyball standout Jamye Cox (St. Ursula).

6. Former Bowling Green State University basketball player Kate Achter (Clay) was inducted into the university’s 52nd Class of its Athletic Hall of Fame.

Achter was one-half of a 2008 senior class that went 108-23 in their careers and she ranks fifth in BGSU history in scoring with 1,580 career points and is the schools’ alltime leader in assists with 688. Achter is now the head coach at NCAA D-I LoyolaChicago.

7. Northwood junior distance runner Trinity Fowler finishes as state runner-

9. Freshman outside hitter Kayla Bekier (Lake) plays role as Owens Community College volleyball wins an NJCAA D-III national championship, finishing the season 40-6. Head coach Sonny Lewis is assisted by Kristen Gyori, a Clay graduate who played at Owens.

10. Oakland A’s pitcher Chris Bassitt (Genoa) returns to the Major Leagues after Tommy John surgery, which had sidelined him for 18 months. In his fourth season in the Majors, he sees action in 11 games, starting for seven as the A’s battle for a playoff spot. Bassitt finishes the season 2-3 with 41 strikeouts, 19 walks and a 3.02 ERA. He allows just four home runs in 47.2 innings.

11. Sisters Haley Hess, Hannah Hess, and Sydney Hess not only compete at the NCAA D-I level, but excel at three different schools. The daughters of Clay soccer coach Don “Duck” Hess, Haley is a long distance runner at the University of Akron, her twin sister Hannah plays basketball for Purdue Fort Wayne, and younger sister Sydney is a distance runner at the University of Cincinnati.

12. Prep football on this side of the Maumee River has an exceptional year.

Five of 10 local prep football teams reach playoffs, four win league championships, and seven of 10 teams have chance to reach playoffs entering final week of regular season play. Eight of 10 teams finish .500 or better, and No. 1 ranked Genoa goes farthest in playoffs, reaching the D-V regional final.

Plus, three local players contribute in a big way to an 11th team — Central Catholic’s league championship and D-II playoff run.

13. Central Michigan redshirt freshman wrestler Matt Stencel (Clay) wins a MAC championship at the 285-pound weight class and qualifies for the NCAA D-I championships at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, where he was seeded 16th and did not place, but finished the season 28-15.

14. Bertha Horsley and her 14-yearold daughter Carmen Horsley, a Clay High School freshman, bring home three world championship Gold Medals, one Silver and one Bronze representing Oregonbased Toneff’s Taekwon-Do and Team USA in the 11th Annual Global TaekwonDo Federation World Championships in Durban, South Africa.

15. Oregon Clay summer wrestling club claimed a Disney Duals national title at the AAU Wrestling Scholastic Duals at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. The Clay Gold team won the Community Division I title and the Clay Green finished eighth out of 48 teams. Jacob Moon, competing at 106 pounds, was named Outstanding Wrestler of the Tournament.

Eastern YMCA, Clay partner for first home swim meet

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Clay hosted its first swim meet ever at the Eastern Community YMCA, but nobody expected so many people to show up.

“Overall, it went really, really well.

We had a great turnout — more than I expected,” said Clay second-year swim coach Rod Gyurke.

“I was worried though because a lot of our parents helped do the timing system, so we had 10 parents behind the (starting) blocks, and then with kids coming from Lima we thought maybe their parents would not travel as well. So, I was somewhat taken by the numbers. We were beyond seating capacity, so that awesome.”

Building Clay’s swim program has been a labor of love for Gyurke, and in the dual match with Lima Senior he started to see results from his hard work.

“Last year we had 19 swimmers and we actually lost seven of those. This year, we have 29 on the team. So, I went back to the high school again. I’m not a teacher or in the school system, so I go to the cafeteria, I walk around to every table and talk to the kids and say, ‘Hey, who wants to swim?’ They do it. That’s all we do,” Gyurke said.

“I tell the kids this, ‘We’re sharing what we know about swimming with them.

They are the ones doing the work. They are the ones doing the effort. They are the ones listening. All we can do is tell you what we know as swimmers how to do it, but they have to follow through.

“And, I’m looking through last night, 33 of 48 individual swims we had our best times. That’s about 69 percent of our kids had their best time last night, in the middle of the season when we are tired, we’ve been doing two-a-days. It’s just not supposed to be that way, but that’s to the kids’ credit that they are doing the effort.

I’m just absolutely thrilled with the way the kids are swimming.

The dual match could not have happened without a partnership between Oregon Schools and the Eastern YMCA.

Fans, parents and grandparents fill temporary seating at the Eastern YMCA for Clay's first home swim meet.

It is hoped eventually bleachers would be reinstalled.

(Press photo by Ken Grosjean) “Beginning last year when we hired our new coach, Rod Gyurke, who was a swimmer and a parent in our district, we really started talking about building the Clay swim team,” Oregon Schools Superintendent Hal Gregory said.

“So, we started talking about the only pool is here at the YMCA, so it’s our home court, so to speak. So, we started looking, and he said, ‘Hey, we want to host meets but we will never be able to host meets with these old style starting blocks. So, we started talking with the Y, so we did a partnership — literally a written agreement with the YMCA to work out usage time instead of fees, and then we would do a one-time investment of starting blocks for just under $23,000. In return then, the Y gives us access to the pool and practice time and locker room access and all those

things our kids need to be a swim team.”

Dayre Carpenter, the aquatics and youth programs director at the Eastern YMCA, says the partnership is a two-way street.

“The partnership came about because there was a need for some swim space. It got us talking to the schools to figure out how we can help each other out and build a little better relationship,” Carpenter said.

“I love working with Oregon Schools — my kids go to Oregon so I’m invested into this community. Hopefully, we’ll get bleachers in. Those starting blocks were a huge step in the right direction and the lane lines look great.

“It gives us more exposure and lets people know that we offer more than just a place to swim and a place to work out.

We do a lot of programs from gymnastics

sports, martial arts, dance, and it will help drive more people in here.”

Everyone on board expects the partnership to continue into next year.

“Our hope next year is to have five or six home meets. That’s our goal. That’s a typical season,” Gyurke said.

Junior varsity heats were run, and there were no diving events, but Clay and Lima Senior split the team matches between the boys and girls varsity.

“Our boys lost and our girls won.

The boys did well,” Gyurke said. “They actually won seven of the 11 events, but when it comes to the way scoring is done, it plays out differently. Depth matters and we had one boy who had to go home sick, so we only had seven boys swimming. That’s what hurt us and that’s why our boys lost, but still, it was a great meet.”

Finch adds new element for Cardinals

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It takes Nolan Finch about one minute to walk to Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School.

The school’s close proximity to his house has its benefits for Finch, a 6-foot7 senior forward and a two-year starter for coach Jamie Kachmarik’s Cardinals.

“I couldn’t get out of the gym in the summer,” Finch said. “I was always in there, just shooting around and working on my game by myself. I’d rather do something like that than stay home playing video games. The past three summers I’ve been doing the same thing, getting to a gym as much as possible.”

That’s not all Finch did over the summer. He began training at Fastrak Performance in Perrysburg. Finch said his younger sister, Aly, a sophomore volleyball player at St. Ursula Academy, sometimes tagged along with him.

“I started going there maybe once a month before this season started, just to improve my vertical and get stronger,” Finch said. “(Teammate) Joey Holifield went there and got his vertical really high. I wanted to know where he got it and I just started going there. It’s helped immensely. I’ve been doing a lot more one-on-one with a trainer and stretching at home, and it’s helped a lot.”

Kachmarik said Finch has gotten taller and improved his strength since last season.

“He’s committed to us in the weight room and he continues to do it throughout the season and in the fall,” the coach said.

“He goes to Fastrak and it’s really helped him with his athletic ability and strength.

He’s an inside guy and he can finish around the basket. He runs the floor real well, he’s a high-energy guy and he’s a gym rat. He lives in the neighborhood right next to Stritch, so anytime he can get in the gym, he’s there.”

The Cardinals improved to 10-2 and 3-1 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference with Tuesday’s 69-54 win at Ottawa Hills.

Stritch’s two losses are to Toledo Christian (42-41) on Dec. 22 and to BlackmanMurfreesboro (Tenn.) (49-45) on Dec. 29, in the championship game of the Sonic Slam Tournament in Lebanon, Tenn.

Finch is averaging 5.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocked shots on a team loaded with scorers. He is shooting 60 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free throw line.

“He alters a lot of (opponents’) shots,” Kachmarik said. “He hasn’t really gotten into any foul trouble, and he’s had four games in double figures for us. Down in Tennessee, he had two really good games in our two victories and did a good job defensively and rebounding.”

Finch, who scored a career-high 18 points in the Cardinals’ 81-50 win over Emmanuel Christian on Dec. 18, patrols

“We don’t get to the point where it’s toxic or a cancer to the team,” Finch said. “We push each other and try to see who comes out on top. Sometimes he has a breakout game and sometimes I have a breakout game. One of us picks up the other. We’re working hard and giving each other high-fives and saying good job.”

Despite all of his offseason workouts – he also played at open gyms at Whitmer last summer - Finch said he’s only gained about six pounds since last season.

“It’s hard to gain weight,” he said. “I eat 10 tacos at Chipotle. I keep trying to put on weight and it just doesn’t happen.”

Finch compensates for his lack of bulk by using his speed, quickness and length.

In fact, Kachmarik said he has no problem putting Finch at the top of the Cardinals’ full-court pressure defense to help deflect passes and trap the ball.

“I’m happy with the way I’ve been playing, as long as it leads to a team win,” Finch said. “I’m more focused on the hustle stats, trying to force turnovers, help my teammates get the ball up the court and try-

ing to force anything the other team doesn’t want to have happen.”

Colleges are always looking for athletic 6-foot-7 basketball players, and Kachmarik said several smaller schools are interested in Finch.

“They are courting him,” Kachmarik said. “He’s good enough. The big thing with him is, he’s a great kid and a really good student. I think his best basketball is ahead of him because he’s young for his class. He’s gonna grow more and be a different player in college. His body will fill out more.”

Finch said he’s wanted to play college basketball since he was a young boy, watching games on TV with his father, Steve, who played his high school basketball at Clay.

“I always wanted to compete at that level,” Finch said. “I’ve been getting letters and calls from coaches. I like to be recognized for my hard work. They say they noticed I’m a presence on the court and that they’re interested in me. I tend not to worry about (college scouts) during a game. I only want to be there for my teammates.

“We try to play for each other, and the team’s goal is to just get the W at the end of the night. We definitely want to win as much as we can.”

The Tiffin University softball program announced the signing of 12 new additions for the 2019-20 year, including Eastwood 5-foot-3 senior infielder/outfielder Madeline Schuessler-Recker.

Recker was first team All-Northern Buckeye Conference and all-district as both a freshman and a sophomore.

“I always thought I might like to go to Tiffin but when I went on my overnight visits and got to see what Tiffin is all about I fell in love. Everyone was nice and the campus was perfect for me. When I went home the next day I told my parents that Tiffin felt like home and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else,” Schuessler-Recker said.

She says the most memorable athletic moment was during her junior year was when she helped her program win their 50th-straight league game. The streak is still alive at 51.

’Cats Nighswander, Allen one-two punch down low

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Woodmore 5-10 junior Jordan Nighswander scores. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) said. “She goes after rebounds hard, and she’s not afraid to mix it up with some bigger and taller post players. She’s a tough one to box out. She has basketball instincts and it’s tough for people to keep her off the boards. She has grown a lot from last year to now. She wants to be better and learn all she can so she can be the best player possible.”

One thing Nighswander has improved on this season is finishing at the rim, which is something she admitted having trouble doing as a sophomore.

“I believe I can work on finishing more and maybe scoring a few more points,” Nighswander said. “When my teammates get me the ball inside, I try my best to finish. One of my strengths is being strong. I anticipate well where I’m supposed to go when I don’t have the ball or the ball is not on my side, which helps our offense a lot. I just want to work my butt off to be the best rebounder I can be for our team.”

Allen said she set some individual goals for herself this season, including improving on her free throw percentage. She shot 57 percent last season and is up to 79 percent (37-of-47) this season. Clair said Allen “has been great at capitalizing at the free throw line in crunch-time, high-pressure situations.”

“I focused on that in the offseason,” Allen said. “I missed a lot of free throws

The

Woodmore sophomore forward Brooke Allen has no issues with being six feet tall.

“I love it,” said Allen, whose father, Clark, is 6-foot-3 and mother, Kristin, is 5-foot-10. “It makes sports more fun and it’s a better advantage. It has made me work hard to level out my skills and not just be tall. I’ve always been tall. My sixth grade year, I grew six inches.”

Allen and 5-foot-10 junior Jordan Nighswander form a formidable one-two punch in the paint for coach Kyle Clair’s Wildcats. Allen leads the team in scoring at 12.5 points per game and also averages 6.9 rebounds. Nighswander is averaging 9.8 points and a team-high 9.3 rebounds this season after leading the team in rebounding a year ago.

Allen had 13 points and four rebounds in Woodmore’s 58-56 overtime non-conference home loss to Hopewell-Loudon on Tuesday. Nighswander had 10 points and eight boards for the ‘Cats, who are 7-4 and 4-3 in the Northern Buckeye Conference.

“They work off each other,” Clair said.

“People have to keep Brooke off the boards, and that leaves match-up problems with Jordan. They do a good job of feeding off each other and capitalizing. We have good team chemistry and they get along well.

They match up with each other in practice and they are very competitive individuals.

That really makes us better.”

Nighswander and Allen are best friends off the court, and Nighswander said they help each other “as much as possible” and communicate well on the court. She said trying to one-up each other statistically never comes into play during games.

“It’s not really one against another,” Nighswander said. “If one of us scores more points, usually it’s because one of us is having a bad game and the other one has to pick her up. We try to be (offensive) threats in the post, that way teams can’t double-team us.”

Allen said she and Nighswander simply try to help improve each others’ game every day.

“No one goes easy on each other in practice,” Allen said. “We always make sure we make each other better. We can get very physical and we make sure we make shots hard on each other, even fouling each other. Finishing with contact in practice helps us in a game, so our moves can be where we want them to be in games.”

The area around the basket often gets crowded, and post players often have individual quirks. Some like to turn and face the basket when they get the ball, while others prefer to take a few dribbles and back their defender toward the rim. Allen and Nighswander said there’s room for both of them inside.

“She’s a very good rebounder,” Allen said. “If I miss a shot, she’s on other side to get the ball. If one of us has a bad game, we pick each other up. We’re always there for each other. If we see something with defenders on us, we make sure to tell each other so any problems get fixed immediately.”

Clair said Nighswander has been in “beast mode” of late, in that she’s starting to realize she can overpower opponents.

“She uses her strength to get shots off and create some space for herself,” Clair

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

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.
