EPA to hold hearing for East Toledo plant By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency will hold a public information meeting and hearing on Thursday, Jan. 18, at Waite High School regarding a draft air emissions permit for an iron briquette manufacturing facility in Toledo. The IronUnits plant plans to locate on the former Ironville Terminal Brownfield site at Front Street and Mllard Avenue in East Toledo. The public can submit comments for the record concerning the draft permit. The public information session and hearing starts at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria of the high school, 301 Morrison Drive, Toledo. If approved, the permit would allow the $700 million project to move forward with the construction of a 2.48 million tons-peryear hot briquetted iron and direct reduced iron manufacturing facility, according to the Ohio EPA. The plan will use a reformer fueled by natural gas and a shaft furnace. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen, oxides, particulate matter and green house gas pollutants are expected to be emitted, along with minor quantities of other pollutants.

Computer modeling Computer modeling was conducted to ensure local air quality will be protected. Dina Pierce, media coordinator for the Northwest and Southwest districts of the Ohio EPA, said computer modeling has been done for many years and is a routine part of Ohio EPA’s permitting process. “It uses the calculated maximum potential emissions for each pollutant and current air quality data for the area and predicts (models) the impact on local air quality,” Pierce told The Press last week. “Ohio EPA and Toledo Environmental Services staff use the resulting information to make sure air quality standards protective of human health and the environment will be maintained if the emission sources is constructed.” If the permit is approved, the total maximum air emissions would be limited to protect public health and the environ-
Oregon OKs messaging boards By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday approved the purchase and installation of two monument signs with electronic messaging centers at the city’s municipal complex. The contract amount to Reason Sign Company, 2115 Loxley Road, Toledo, was $58,750.
Monday - Friday 10am - 6pm, Saturday 10am - 4pm
The city provided specifications to three vendors, and Reason Sign Company provided the best quote. The quote from Reason Sign Company was about $500 more than Allen industries, and the quote from Toledo sign was over $15,000 higher, according to City Administrator Mike Beazley. “This is a substantial investment for the city,” stated Beazley in a Jan. 8 memo to council. “Research was completed on each of the vendors to determine which could

provide a product that not only the city could be proud to display but quick turnaround service should the need arise.” In viewing other signs the vendors had manufactured and installed, as well as talking with customers of the vendors, the city chose Reason Sign Company as its lowest and best bidder to manufacture, build and install these signs, added Beazley. “The company has local sign installations in the city that we feel will mirContinued on page 6
ment. Ohio EPA does not have regulatory authority over issues such as siting, eminent domain, setbacks to homes, schools or businesses, noise levels, traffic, zoning or property value effects. Pierce said the company already has a wastewater discharge permit for non-contact cooling water, and is processing other permits as well. “Ohio EPA is processing permit applications for wetlands impacts and wastewater pretreatment,” she said. “The facility’s wastewater, after pretreatment, would be discharged to Toledo’s sanitary sewer system for further treatment. Also, every construction project of one acre or more in Ohio requires a construction storm water permit to make sure storm water runoff from the construction activity is controlled. Ohio EPA is processing this permit.” Regular monitoring Pierce said the Ohio EPA will be monitoring pollution emitted at the plant. “Once the facility is constructed and begins operations, the company has one year to apply for an operating permit. Before issuing the operating permit, the company is required to complete the initial stack testing requirements contained in the permit-to-install to verify the emissions are within predicted levels and are protective of local air quality. Ohio EPA will determine the frequency of additional emissions testing requirements after the results of the initial stack tests are reviewed. Additionally, the facility would be required to perform daily checks to make sure the emission units and the emission control systems are operating properly, keep records and file operation reports with Ohio EPA. Finally, Ohio EPA or Toledo Division of Environmental Services, will conduct periodic facility inspections to ensure proper operations and record keeping,” said Pierce. Written comments are considered the same as oral testimony presented at the hearing. They must be received by the close of business on Jan. 22, of this year. Comments can be mailed to Matt Stanfield, Toledo Division of Environmental Services, 348 S. Erie St., Toledo, 43604, or emailed to Matthew.Stanfield@toledo.oh.gov. Continued on page 2

Speed sign bill needed, Sheehy says By Press Staff Writer A bill he co-sponsored to clarify speed limit laws is needed to prevent overreach by municipal jurisdictions, State Representative Mike Sheehy, D – Oregon, said last week. HB 219 unanimously passed out of the House Transportation and Public Safety Committee in November and Sheehy, the ranking Democrat, and other committee members are awaiting word from House leadership for scheduling a floor vote. The bill aims to specify when a speed limit takes effect – and when enforcement can begin, Rep. John Boccieri, D – Poland, told the committee during his sponsor testimony. The Ohio Revised Code is unclear on the matter, he said, “It merely states that failing to abide by a speed limit in unlawful.” “HB 219 would codify that, for all speed limit areas, a speed limit becomes effective beginning at a reasonable distance from the speed limit sign. In practice, this would mean that a driver would not be liable for reducing his/her speed in response to passing into an area with a lower speed limit until a reasonable distance after their vehicle actually passes the speed limit sign,” Boccieri told the committee. Boccieri said he began researching the issue after a constituent raised questions about a recently installed camera outside of Youngstown. “Nobody is in favor of speeding but I am opposed to speed traps,” Sheehy said. “This legislation tries to address that. It gives reasonable discretion to a judge as to whether a speed trap has been set up or a municipal government is trying to provide safe streets in the community.” Gary Biller, president of the National Motorists Association, testified in favor of the bill and said it would bring Ohio into compliance with the federal Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

EPA to hold hearing for iron plant in East Toledo Continued from front page Ottawa County In other Ohio EPA news, Ottawa County will replace aging, deteriorating equipment on the county’s regional wastewater treatment plant with financing from a low-interest rate loan from Ohio EPA, it was announced last week. The project will replace the mechanical screen and grit removal system, install new valves and improve the collection system’s pump stations. The upgrades will ensure continued effective treatment of
wastewater and protect water quality in the Portage River. Created in 1989, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) provides below-market interest rate loans for communities to improve their wastewater treatment systems. The reduced interest rate on the $1.26 million loan for the project will save the county an estimated $393,000 compared to a market-rate loan. In addition to improvements to publicly owned treatment works, WPCLF loans have been provided for agricultural best

Regulators reject energy pricing proposal By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has opted to take a different course in how the electrical industry should address potential supply threats to the nation’s power grid, rejecting a proposal by the Department of Energy to set pricing rules that compensate coal and nuclearpowered generators for on-site storage of fuel. The DOE’s proposal stemmed from a department study that raised questions about the grid’s capacity when stressed by natural disasters. The problem is compounded by the retirement of nuclear and coal-powered plants. The proposal drew criticism from natural gas suppliers and supporters of renewable energy who called it a subsidy for coal and nuclear plants that can’t compete in the generation marketplace. Had it been enacted, the proposed rule would have allowed the FERC, with its authority under the Federal Power Act, to require third-party power transmission entities such as Regional Transmission Organizations or Independent System Operators to set “just and reasonable rates” for wholesale electricity from power plants that show reliability and resiliency in supplying the grid by maintaining a 90-day supply of fuel on site, for one example. In its Jan. 8 decision, the FERC ruled the pricing proposal ‘did not satisfy clear and fundamental legal requirements under …the Federal Power Act.” Instead, the commission will tap into the expertise of the RTOs and ISOs and re-
quest they provide data as to whether the commission and markets need to take additional action on the resilience of the bulk power system. “The goals of this proceeding are to develop a common understanding among the commission, industry and others of what resilience of the bulk power system means and requires; to understand how each Regional Transmission Organization and Independent System Operator assesses resilience in its geographic footprint, and to use this information to evaluate whether additional commission action regarding resilience is appropriate,” the commission said in a prepared statement. “As the DOE grid study documented, we have seen a variety of economic, environmental and policy drivers that are changing the way electricity is procured and used,” the FERC said. “These changes present new opportunities and challenges regarding the reliability, affordability, and environmental profile of each region’s electric system. These changes may impact the resilience of the bulk power system. As we navigate these changes, the commission’s markets, transmission planning rules and reliability standards should evolve as needed to address the bulk power system’s continued reliability and resilience.” PJM Interconnection is the RTO that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in Ohio, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. Problem misidentified The DOE…misidentifies a problem,
misstates the cause, and then proposes a radical solution that is antithetical to clear Congressional and Commission policy in favor of promoting competitive energy markets,” PJM said in its response to the department’s proposal. “The DOE … assumes without support that there is a resilience crisis that is urgently unfolding because coal and nuclear units are retiring, that market prices are to blame, and that the only solution is to incentivize those coal and nuclear units to remain in service by providing them with guaranteed cost of service rate recovery regardless of whether they are needed for resilience or actually provide measurable resilience benefits.” Jennifer Young, a spokesperson for FirstEnergy, said the company plans to complete a review of its coal and nuclear plants by mid-2018 with a goal of exiting the competitive generation market. Selling the plants is one option under consideration, she said. Mark Stahl, an Ottawa County commissioner, said he was disappointed by the decision but encouraged federal regulators are discussing the reliability and resiliency issue. He and Jamie Beier-Grant, director of the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, met last year with then FERC chairman to discuss the pending decision. The two presented a petition with about 3,000 signatures asking the FERC to, “…initiate policy that would protect baseload nuclear power generation in the United States and properly value the reliability and resiliency attributes baseload nuclear power generation contributes to the overall operation of the country’s grid system.”

Voter roll case is personal for mayor
“
By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer Joe Helle served his country in the military and is currently the Village of Oak Harbor’s mayor. In short, he understands his civic responsibilities. But that didn’t stop the state government from removing his name from the voter rolls, which he realized after trying to vote in 2011. Now, he finds himself at the center of a trial before the U.S. Supreme Court. “The board of elections told me that (my name) had been removed. They were compassionate; they felt terrible about it (and) gave me a provisional ballot. They did re-register me on the spot so that I could vote in the future,” said Helle. “It was incredibly emotional. Being a veteran and having served in active duty for my country, and then finding out I couldn’t vote, it was crushing. It was heartbreaking.” Helle is one of tens of thousands of Ohioans who have been victim to this practice that has been used by Jon Husted, Ohio Secretary of State, to eliminate names from voter rolls. Oral arguments were heard Wednesday by the Supreme Court in the case, Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute. A decision is expected in June. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a divided vote in 2016, ruled Ohio’s policy of dropping voters who don’t vote regularly but are otherwise eligible violates federal law. The source of contention has pitted Democrats against Republicans, not just in Ohio but nationwide as well. Democrats have argued the Republicans are attempting to suppress the votes of poor people and minorities, two groups that tend to vote Democratic. Republicans, meanwhile, have argued that they’re trying to maintain voter integrity and prevent voter fraud. A survey by Reuters found that in the state’s three largest counties that include Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati, voters have been struck from the rolls in Democratic-leaning neighborhoods at roughly twice the rate as in Republican neighborhoods. Under the current law, if a person

Joe Helle doesn’t vote during a two-year period, they’re sent notices for the next four years, and if they don’t reply or vote in an election, their name is removed from the voter rolls. “After the National Voters Registration Act, Ohio’s legislature changed its registration laws,” the 100-page Husted brief before the court says. “It directed the Secretary of State to ‘prescribe procedures to identify and cancel the registration’ of registrants who have moved. Ohio’s then-Secretary adopted two processes that have been in place ever since, spanning Secretaries of State from both political parties. Even in 1993, the NVRA allowed states to send notices to nonvoters, and to remove them if they failed to respond and to vote in two more elections. To reach the opposite result, the Sixth Circuit rewrote the NVRA’s Failure-To-Vote Clause and created a conflict with its confirmation procedure.” Husted said the “last four secretaries of state – both Democrat and Republican – all followed the same practice in fulfilling their duties under federal law to have clean
voter lists.” “There are plenty of ways for states to keep their registration rolls clean without violating federal law,” said Daniel Tokaji, who serves as co-counsel in the case. “States can initiate the removal process by using the U.S. Post Office’s national change of address system and remove people if they have good evidence they moved or died. “The Supreme Court has long declared the right to vote fundamental. None of our rights or interests as citizens are safe unless we are able to vote on equal terms with our fellow citizens.” The American Civil Liberties Union estimated that more than 7,000 Ohioans discovered they were purged from the voter rolls when they showed up to vote in the 2016 election. Helle, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for Ohio’s 89 House District, wants to see the law changed. “I hope the Supreme Court sides with current federal law, that says you can’t disparage voters,” he said. “I hope they reverse the current Secretary of State’s position with removing people from the voter rolls and restore the voters that were purged. We shouldn’t be forcing people to vote to maintain the right to vote. The right not to vote is just as important as the right to vote.”

Miller sworn in as holdover on school board Carol Ann Molnar and Michael Csehi, who were re-elected to the Oregon School board November 7, took the oath of office during a board meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 9. School board member Heather Miller was sworn in separately because the Lucas County Board of Elections did not certify petitions she submitted for re-election last year. At a meeting on Nov. 16, the school board passed a resolution in support of Miller being a “holdover” board member four year term. School board member Jeff Ziviski said at last week’s meeting that the separate oath of office administered to Miller was for reasons of “transparency” as well as to follow legal advice. “We had some questions for the board of elections. They have just not got back to us,” said Ziviski. “We’re not treating anyone any differently, we’re just separating them.” Clarification Superintendent Hal Gregory said there have been some questions regarding Miller
There have been some questions by the public who think we’re doing something illegal or shady. But it’s out of our hands and based on the laws of the state.
Second, there were three board members positions open for the Nov. 7, 2017 election, of which there were only two candidates on the ballot for those three positions. So there were only two folks on the ballot for three positions.” Miller, he added, became a holdover for the remaining position on the board because there was no successor elected, nor was there a vacancy created under Revised Code 3313-11 and other applicable laws. Board President Molnar said at the Nov. 16 meeting that “if a person who is on the board so desires to stay, they are called a `holdover’ and we cannot stop that.” “It is not a vacancy, and so it’s really not even our decision. The resolution is to go to the board of elections to please hold over Heather Miller for a four year term. If they will not do that, for a two year term,” she said.
being a holdover board member and wanted to clarify it for the public. “I know there’s been some questions,” said Gregory. “So I’m going to go over why Mrs. Miller is a holdover. Mrs. Miller has a right to a seat on the board of education due to the holdover clause due to the following sequence of events: First, Mrs. Miller was holding an office of trust through the previous election process in the past four years.
The law “It really is out of our hands, added Ziviski. “There’s a law that covers this. If we didn’t want Heather back, there’s nothing we could do about it. In most cases, it’s the continuance of government when no one else runs. So they’re held over. Normally, if they don’t want to be on it, they resign and there’s a vacancy. That’s

not the case here. We’ve had several legal opinions. It’s all legal. It’s for a two or four year term. We don’t get to determine how many years she gets held over. That’s up to the board of elections. There have been some questions by the public who think we’re doing something illegal or shady. But it’s out of our hands and based on the laws of the state.” “And we’re glad to have Heather back,” said Molnar. “She’s a good board member.” Petitions not certified The board of elections certified the petitions of Molnar and Csehi by the deadline last August. It did not certify Miller’s because she did not follow the requirements and guidelines regarding the petitions, according to the board of elections. Candidates are required to sign a candidate statement and petition circulator statement. The candidate statement includes naming the office for which they are running, the terms, and other details. All signatures on petitions must be witnessed by the petition circulator, an individual who asks voters to sign petitions. Miller should have signed the statement and provided the number of signatures, but did not. As a result, the board did not certify her petitions.
Oregon OKs messaging boards at specific locations ror what is needed at the city complex. ” The 40” by 125” Galaxy Outdoor Electronic Messaging Boards will be placed at 5330 Seaman Road in front of the municipal complex and at the entrance to the South Soccer Complex on Starr Avenue Extension to provide current information to residents and visitors. The signs will be perpendicular to the road, Beazley said at the meeting on Monday. “It will be parallel to our exit driveway so it will be visible to passersby. Additionally, to the south end of the complex, we’ll have another sign for those on the rec side on Starr Extension,” he said. Budgeted item Mayor Mike Seferian said Councilman Terry Reeves, chairman of the Recreation & Parks Committee, brought up the idea for the signage for the recreation complex over a year ago. “It was approved in the budget that

was passed a few weeks ago. This is something we took our time proceeding with because of the expense,” said Seferian. “I be-
lieve council thought it was a worthy cause when it was inserted in the budget.” Councilman Tim Zale asked if the messages of both signs will be the same. “These particular signs, will they pretty much give the same messages each time or give independent messages of what is going on in the city? I guess my thought process is did we ever consider putting one of these type of signs for information for residents at Navarre and Wheeling?” Seferian said the signs can be programmed with different messages. “These can be operated independently, but a lot of times, we may have exactly the same messages. They have the ability to be programmed individually,” said Seferian. “Many more people pass Navarre and Wheeling. Even though that sounds like the best place, it might be more strategically placed on Starr Avenue. Most Oregon residents try to avoid Navarre. Maybe you wouldn’t want to be going down Navarre Avenue and doing a lot of reading because of the traffic.” Beazley added that the city plans to meet with officials from St. Charles
Hospital to discuss shared signage. “It’s among the issues we’ll discuss.” Also at the meeting, council: • Approved a resolution recognizing Oregon Spring Fest as a community sponsored event authorized by the Oregon Growth Corporation. “Although this item is traditionally in the first meeting of the calendar year for our first regular council meeting, it allows the Oregon Growth Corporation to run the parade we have down Dustin Road,” Seferian said of the annual event; • Authorized municipal administrators, subject to the written authorization of the mayor, to take bids on equipment, materials, supplies, maintenance agreements and insurance without the requirements for future legislation to be adopted by council. “We’ve had this ordinance since 1989,” said Seferian. “It is an ordinance that gives authority to our department head to run their shops under a $25,000 amount without going out to bid and doing their day to day operations.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Three Blessings Modern psychology often confirms ancient wisdom. Much of the advice that has been empirically verified by the field of Positive Psychology echoes ancient philosophers, including the wisdom of the Bible. One of the clearest examples of this is the advice to be thankful and count your blessings. Researchers at the Positive Psychology Center at Penn have confirmed that the simple exercise of writing down three things that went well at the end of each day will improve the quality of your life. You will feel less depressed simply by focusing on the positive things in life, and by thinking about why things went well you set the
Genoa
stage for a more positive future. One easy way to do this is to start a journal, or even just start a document on your computer. You might title this journal or document “Three Blessings,” or “Three Good Things” if you want a more secular title, and then simply list the three good things that happened to you (or which you did) and answer the question why for each one. The question as to why it happened is important because it forces us to reflect on the causes of these good things and helps us to repeat them. “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”—Psalm 103:2 NIV

Unnecessary tariff on imported paper not needed from Canada (Editor’s note: The Ohio News Media Association prepared the following column in the wake of a decision by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to impose a tariff on the importation of certain paper from Canada.)
Guest Editorial
The viability of local newspapers, including the one that you are reading now, is being challenged by an unnecessary tariff on the import of uncoated groundwood paper from Canada – the type that is used to print this newspaper and others across Ohio. Simply put, Ohio’s newspapers cannot absorb the additional financial burden this duty – based on a dubious complaint from
a single paper mill -- is sure to create. If fully implemented, the resulting hardship could lead to thousands of job losses in the newspaper industry. We are at an important juncture right now and our role of getting real news to you on a daily or weekly basis matters more than ever. A credible news source that has a vested interest in

The
Counseling Corner Kids, do your chores From the American Counseling Association When it comes to assigning our kids family chores to do around the house, virtually all parents think it’s a great idea. But many of us also find it can be a big hassle when we try to get the kids to actually do the assigned work. Yes, it may sometimes seem easier to just take out that bag of trash yourself than to get into a big argument with the kids over whose turn it is, or why that simple job can’t be done now. But what the experts advise is not to let such household responsibilities slide. Having your kids do assigned chores can be an important factor in helping them develop in positive ways. Chores are a way for a child to feel part of the family, and to gain a sense of contributing toward the family good. These early-life lessons make it easier for a person to feel like an active, contributing member of society later in life. Chores are also a means for learning about responsibility and meeting expectations, skills necessary for success in school and the workplace. They may involve simple activities, like making a bed daily or helping with the family pet, but the lessons derived from successfully completing family chores carry over into later life. Getting chores completed successfully, however, does require planning and work on the part of parents. You want to make assignments that are appropriate for a child’s age and abilities so successful completion and positive experiences are most likely. You also have to keep your expectations reasonable. If you are a perfectionist and criticize how every chore is done, you’re setting your child up for failure, unable to meet your expectations. Instead, set realistic, attainable goals. And don’t let your child get away with little or no effort since that is teaching him or her to have low expectations and to question their abilities to do good work. Talk to your child about setting up a chore system. Clearly explain responsibilities and what constitutes successful completion of a task. Develop rewards for work well done, and take the time to monitor chore activities and to offer honest praise for carrying out assigned tasks successfully. Starting a child early in life to accept chores and do them well builds self-esteem and helps develop stronger life skills. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Getting animated
Oregon couple brings anime to life By Katie Siebenaller Press Staff Writer katiesieb@presspublications.com Ariel Danyi and Thomas Jones met via Facebook in 2014. A friend had tagged Jones in Danyi’s post, announcing her cosplay group was in need of one more character to be complete. Jones joined the group, and has been attending anime conventions with Danyi ever since. Referring to Japanese-style animation, anime is popular all over the world. Anime television series, movies and even video games can be found in a variety of genres, including fantasy, romance and mystery. Many fans show their creativity and passion for their favorite series and characters through cosplay. A combination of the words “costume” and “play,” cosplay is just that: dressing up as a specific character. According to Danyi, the definition varies depending on the cosplayer, but for her it means, “You get to become a character you love.” Cosplayers take on the persona of the character they are representing. “There are a lot of people with things going on in their lives – or they are depressed – something. They get to be a different person.” Jones adds. With passion, creativity and a theater background, Danyi works on her cosplay outfits, ensembles of clothing, accessories, wigs and makeup, planning for each con (convention) she attends about a year in advance. For her first con, she created her cosplay from pieces in her closet. Since then, she has both ordered costumes online, as well as created and altered some on her own. “I’m a cosplayer, but on a budget,” Danyi admits. For Jones, it is not how individuals come to have costumes, but the fact that they are participants. “You can make your costume or buy it,” he says. “Cosplay is cosplay in the end.” Danyi identifies as an otaku, one who loves anime and embraces Japanese culture. In fact, her cosplay name is Otaku Illusion. She is dedicated to her art and determined to capture each character she cosplays. She takes her costumes on “test runs,” wearing them out in public to make sure they feel right and meet her specifications. Preparing to cosplay is not a simple feat – not at all like getting dressed in the morning. On average, it takes Danyi 3-3½ hours to get into full costume. Often the largest challenge is applying makeup to match the features of each character. A number of anime characters appear to be drawn not wearing makeup. However, many of these characters are also given unrealistically large eyes in proportion to the rest of their faces and bodies, which are often drawn proportionally. Danyi and other anime cosplayers are constantly finding new makeup tips and tutorials online to better match the original characters. Danyi’s latest cosplay, a representation of Junko Enoshina, took a total of four hours to put on. But it was worth the effort, she said.
Ariel Danyi dresses as Junko in ‘Serious Junko Enoshima,” inspired by the anime “Danganronpa: The Animation.” (Submitted photo by Thomas Jones of TJII Media) “Junko is really complex. I love her to pieces because she’s so insanely smart,” Danyi explains. Junko is a central antagonist in the video game, “Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.” After a few more video games were produced, an anime television series was also created, serving as a prelude and conclusion to the original video games. Categorized as a murder-mystery genre, this franchise is not for children. The majority of the storylines in it are centered around an extremely sadistic bear that traps a select group of high school students in the school. The students’ only hope of escape are by participating in a killing game the bear has concocted, leading to one of them ending up dead, leaving those remaining to solve the case. Those wishing to live must identify the culprit correctly. “A lot of anime is not meant for children,” Jones said. It is a common misconception among those unfamiliar with it that anime is equivalent to classic Saturday morning cartoons many kids have grown up watching. Much of anime is more appropriate for adult audiences. The Oregon couple agree that safe anime series for children to view and good starting points for those interested in watching anime for the first time are “Sailor Moon” and “Dragon Ball Z.” Danyi also recommends the

“Danganronpa” television series. Jones recommends watching “My Hero Academia,” which follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy without special powers who dreams of becoming a superhero in a world of heroes. With some help, Izuku is enrolled in a high school for heroes in training. Danyi’s next projects include costumes for herself and her two younger sisters, inspired by the “High School DxD” series, and a “Danganronpa” one for Jones. While Jones does cosplay, he enjoys capturing memories and the spirit of cons the couple attends. A videography/photographer and founder of TJII Media, Jones takes videos at local conventions of various cosplayers present, later editing them and setting them to music, creating digital memories of each con for cosplayers. He also takes promotional videos and photographs for cosplayers, including Danyi and her friend and fellow cosplayer, Christina Juneee. The next con Danyi and Jones are preparing for is Animarathon, taking place from Feb. 10-11 at Bowling Green State University’s Bowen Thompson Student Union. Like other cons, this one will feature panels (where you can listen to people involved in anime speak), cosplay contests, anime screenings, art and merchandise for purchase and more. The limits to cosplay, the couple explains, are endless. “It’s like Halloween, but every day,” Danyi says. “Halloween, but on steroids,” Jones amends. Cosplay is not limited to the anime community. Fans show their love for various media series by cosplaying as characters from Marvel comics, Disney movies and even popular books, such as J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series. Some cosplayers have even combined characters into a single costume. “You can even cosplay as SpongeBob,” Jones jokes. The couple also notes how anyone can participate in cosplay. “Cosplay is not limited to age,” Danyi says. Nor is it limited to gender, race, sexual orientation or weight. Danyi and Jones have seen families cosplay together, as well as unique interpretations of various characters. It is common in cosplay to dress as a “genderbent” or “racebent” version of a character, meaning one wears a costume that represents a character altered to the individual’s gender or race, rather than the individual attempting to make him or herself appear as the character’s gender or race. “Everyone should be able to cosplay who they like, no matter how they look,” Jones said. There is only one downside to cosplaying Danyi can identify – “post-con depression: worst feeling ever.” For more info about TJII Media, visit Facebook or YouTube, https://www.youtube. com/channel/UC5s4AGpS1Ud38c__Hh_ asaQ.

Washington Gordon (Submitted photo) “We not only have grown Washington Gordon’s original vision by opening home centers and a component plant, we’re contributing to the different communities where we have operations. And, our company has been a source of employment and support to the building industry for decades.” Leonard relates that today’s Gordon Lumber focuses on seven reasons why people should bring their business to their stores: dedicated customer focus, local expertise, real-world experience, hometown pride, rental centers, helpful advice and support, and the longevity of its employees. Leonard shares that the average Gordon Lumber employee has been on the job for 13 years and half of the employees have been with the company for 20-plus years. Some employees have been with Gordon Lumber for 30 or more years. “We’ve embraced the same principles that Washington Gordon and the original family members did when starting this company,” says Leonard. “These are our core values. They’re what sets us apart in the marketplace and will help us grow into our next 150 years.” For information on Gordon Lumber, visit www.gordonlumber.com. (— by Kathy Ziprik/ ZiprikPR@gmail.com)

Started in 1868 by Ohio settler Washington Gordon, Gordon Lumber is celebrating 150 years of building communities throughout Ohio and Michigan. From the small sawmill built 15 decades ago by Gordon in Oak Harbor, the company now has seven locations employing 120 people and servicing 3,500 customers. “The history of our company fascinates me,” says Pamela Goetsch, great-, great-granddaughter of Washington Gordon and a member of the Gordon Lumber board of directors. “We can accurately trace the life of this company from its founding shortly after the civil war. For the first 30 years my great-, great-grandfather had a prosperous sawmill operation and over time brought other family members, including his brother-in-law, Henry Kilmer, into the management of the company. “A year after his death in 1903, The Gordon Lumber Company was incorporated in Ohio to support the continued growth of the business.” According to historical records, a basket manufacturing business was added to the business for several years in 1908, and then in 1916 the company went back to focusing on lumber. During the next several decades the company added a variety of lumberyards and stores. A components (truss) division was added in 1961 and in 2013 the company began transacting business in Michigan. The company has weathered the Great Depression, two world wars and the 2008 housing crisis and continues to serve communities in Northwest Ohio and Southern Michigan.

“Ripcord” The Toledo Rep is presenting “Ripcord,” a biting new comedy from Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Lindsay-Abaire. “The sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.” Performance dates are Jan. 12, 13, 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27 at 8 p.m. and Jan. 21 and 28 at 2:30 p.m. at the theatre, 16 10th St., Toledo.

Blankets of snow very beneficial to our yards & gardens Bitter cold and heavy snow ushered in the New Year. These can greatly limit outdoor activities and chill the body, but harsh weather can also produce some valuable benefits. It often happens that when we are forced to cut down on our “busyness,” we find it a meaningful time to reflect and consider our lives. Time to rethink mistakes we may have made in the year past and how to change and grow from those errors to better experiences in the year now. Time also, to forgive offenses and move into better relationships with those around us. Time to face on-going challenges and move to higher living in our personal lives. Legend has it that the month o f January comes from the name of a Greek god called Janus. He was an entity with two faces – one face looking forward and the other looking back. Some depictions of him show the face looking back as old and the face looking ahead as youthful. Of course, this conveyed that the “old” year had passed and the “new year” was young and yet to develop. The faces also repre-
sented “the need to think and ponder the events of a year past and use what had transpired to grow and progress in the new year yet un-realized”. A very meaningful thought for the 2 faces of January. January is a time for winter snows. When they come, they cover the ground like a soft quilt of pure white. In the sun, the snow glistens and sparkles and under the winter moon, it is luminescent with a soft glow. As lovely as it is to view, a blanket of snow is also very beneficial to our yards and gardens. The snow
cover provides insulation for the soil and protects the roots of the trees, shrubs and plants. Snow is such a great insulator that, through
the cold months, it can be shoveled over any exposed plants that may need extra protection. During warm spells in the winter and spring, when a snow cover melts off, it sinks slowly into the soil. As it melts it carries moisture and oxygen from the atmosphere to the roots of the plants sleeping in the ground. When snows come in March or April, they provide protection for spring growing shoots and furnish them with moisture for their spring blooms to come. One of my favorite winter backyard visitors is the Junco or “snow bird.” This small gray and white American sparrow spends the warm months of the year in the western mountain

areas and in Canada. However, they regularly appear in our area when the snows begin to fall. They are very recognizable as they hop about on the ground to feed and flash and flit their white outer tail feathers. The Junco’s body is a dark gray on the upper half and winter snowy white on his breast and belly. It is said that his color pattern is like a winter day – gray sky above over snow white below. This cheerful little bird may have also gained his nickname “snow bird” from his habit of showing up when the snows begin to fall and leaving quickly when the warm breath of spring comes again.

The program grants three designations based on the number of years of samefamily ownership: â&#x20AC;˘ Century Farms (100-149 years); â&#x20AC;˘ Sesquicentennial Farms (150-199 years); and â&#x20AC;˘ Bicentennial Farms (200 years and more). In 2017, the Ohio Department of Agriculture recognized 125 new century, sesquicentennial or bicentennial farms owned by the same family for at least 100, 150 or 200 consecutive years. Nearly 1,500 farms are now registered across the state in the Ohio Historic Family Farms program. Among them are 18 local farms, including eight in Ottawa County, six in Wood County, three in Sandusky County and one in Lucas County. Ottawa County farms are Blausey (1917), Lenz (1867), Lenz (1873), Lenz (1906), Lentz (1873), Lickert (1908), Sass
(1858) and Sass (1903). Wood County farms are Abke (1895), Ayers (1908), Potter (1863), Schulte (1896), Welling (1901) and Zepernick King (1865). In Sandusky County, farms are Geyman (1903), Hirt (1904) and Rathbun (1876). The Lucas County farm is Fox (1914). Each family received a certificate signed by Governor John R. Kasich and Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David T. Daniels to keep with their historic documents and pass down to future generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our historic family farms are an important link to Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great agricultural history and promising future,â&#x20AC;? said Director Daniels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor every time we are able to recognize Ohioans who take such great pride in their own agricultural heritage.â&#x20AC;? Ohio Historic Family Farms is a voluntary recognition program administered by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Century farms have been recognized since 1993, with the bicentennial farm designation added in 2013, and the sesquicentennial farm designation in 2016.

On a day when all eyes and cameras will be trained on them, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural for brides and grooms tying the knot to want to look their best. As a result, many couples invest a porĆ&#x;on of their budgets into spa and beauty treatments, with many even hiring salon stylists to ensure their wedding-day looks are Ĺ&#x2021;awless. Women with short hair may lament that they do not have many opĆ&#x;ons when styling their hair for their wedding days. Some may even consider growing out their locks. However, plenty of creaĆ&#x;ve styles exist for ladies without long locks. â&#x20AC;˘ Experiment with color One way to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tress to impressâ&#x20AC;? is to experiment with some color. Well-placed highlights, balayage treatments, ombre, or peek-a-boo underlights can add an extra spark to a brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal hairstyle. Speak with a qualiÄŽed stylist about what you plan to achieve with a wedding-day look, so color can be applied correctly. â&#x20AC;˘ Retro glamour Brides may want to harken back to an era when glamour reigned supreme. Replicate one of the short styles of the 1940s or 1950s, paying homage to Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, or Judy Garland. â&#x20AC;˘ Braids and plaits Braids can add whimsy to shoulder-length or shorter hair. In addiĆ&#x;on, braids can anchor short locks when an up-do is desired. Braids can be placed into the front or rear crown of the head to look like a hair halo or crown. â&#x20AC;˘ Use embellishments If short hair cannot be gathered into a braid or bun, you can opt for adorned pins, barreĆŠes or headbands to add a touch of sparkle to the look. Ask a stylist to tease the crown of your hair to achieve a liĆŠle more height and impact. â&#x20AC;˘ Half-up style Many women with short hair ÄŽnd that using bobby pins to pin up select areas of their hair can help achieve a parĆ&#x;al up-do look without the need for longer locks. Experienced stylists will know how to manipulate hair eÄŤecĆ&#x;vely to create this look. Small tendrils of hair can be leĹ&#x152; free and curled for a less structured, more natural eÄŤect. Brides-to-be with short hair do not need to fret nor make drasĆ&#x;c changes to their hairstyles to look beauĆ&#x;ful on their wedding days. Short hair can be manipulated into many camera-ready creaĆ&#x;ons.

Yost providing reliable 3-point shooting for Stritch By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Cardinal Stritch’s boys basketball team is ranked sixth in Division III in this week’s inaugural state poll, but coach Jamie Kachmarik isn’t impressed. “It absolutely means nothing,” he said. “We played a D-IV team (Cornerstone Christian) that is just as good as our team and plays a tough schedule against Division I teams like Cleveland St. Ed’s. Cornerstone Christian, they’re really good and they’re not ranked at all. “I don’t care where we are. Those polls don’t get you bonus points.” The Cardinals improved to 11-1 and 6-0 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference on Tuesday with a 47-35 (Stritch trailed 11-1 early) victory at Gibsonburg. A big reason for Stritch’s success this season has been the outside shooting of 5-foot-9 senior guard Collin Yost. Yost is averaging a pedestrian 5.8 points per game, but the stat sheet doesn’t do him justice. He does not start, but he is one of Stritch’s biggest threats from beyond the 3-point line. Yost has made five or more 3-pointers in five different games over the past two seasons, and he has made 70 career 3-point shots. “He’s the guy we bring in for a zone buster,” Kachmarik said. “He’s a drop-dead shooter. The guys have confidence that he’s going to make shots and they know where to find him on the court. We have seven guys who all could start. We start the defensive crew first and Collin comes in to provide an offensive spark. He changes the makeup of our team because he’s such a threat behind the arc.” Yost is shooting 36.4 percent from 3-point range, but there is one question that begs to be asked: why the right corner? That, Kachmarik said, is Yost’s favorite spot on the floor to shoot his 3-point daggers. “I guess that’s because when I started to work on my shot a lot, around middle school, that’s where I shot from,” Yost said. “It’s just built from there.”
Yost, whose favorite NBA player is Cleveland Cavaliers 3-point specialist Kyle Korver, said he shoots 100 3-pointers a day if he is struggling in games. “We do all kinds of shooting drills at practice,” Yost said. “We all push each other and help each other get better. I probably shoot about 50 (3-pointers) each practice. I’m superstitious about making the 100, not the 50. If I have to make 100, I have to make 100. I can’t function if I can’t get that 100 to go down. I always have to make the last shot before I leave.” Yost said he has a 3-point shooter’s approach to shooting during games, in that he knows he can’t get discouraged if he misfires on a few shots in a row. “You have to have that the-next-one-is-going-in mentality,” he said. “The last (shots) don’t matter, just make the next one. There have been some games I’ve struggled, and bouncing back is a huge part of being a shooter. I like to bring energy off the bench and energy at practice to make everyone better.” Yost, a Sandusky native who still has family living there, had an interesting job last summer, and it doesn’t come as a surprise what that was. He worked the Three-Point Challenge game at Cedar Point. “You have 40 seconds to shoot 12 shots from a regulation high school 3-point line,” Yost said. “There are three regular balls at each rack, and a money ball. The racks are at the corners and at the top of the key. I grew up with Cedar Point and I thought it would be fun to work there. If you work the Three-Point Challenge, you’re lucky. There are only three of them in the park, and only six people work at a time.” On Jan. 4, Yost committed to play basketball at Mount St. Joseph University, a Division III school in Cincinnati that competes in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. He plans to major in business and take some science classes so he can later apply for veterinary school. “I like the atmosphere down there,” Yost said. “I visited there twice. They’re pretty good. They’re in first place in the league right now. They shoot a lot of threes, so my style of play will fit in down there.”

Genoa wrestler Seth Moore wants his name on the wall By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com All Genoa senior wrestler Seth Moore has to do to remind himself where his end goal lies is to look on the wall of the family barn. Moore, a 170-pounder, has been a starter for the Comets since his freshman year, but he’s never competed at the state tournament. “In our barn we have a big wall with a Genoa ‘G’ on it in the weight room,” Moore said. “We’ve had (several) Genoa state wrestling qualifiers sign their names. There are close to 10 on there. We built that room and it was meant to be a wrestling room. We bought a full-size wrestling mat and it fit perfectly. We put the Genoa ‘G’ on one of the walls, the Tapout (clothing brand) logo on another wall, and a big Ohio State logo on the third wall.” One of the wrestlers’ names on the wall is that of Seth’s older brother, Nathan, who competed at the state wrestling tournament as a senior 145-pounder in 2014. Seth, who has a 115-56 career record with 69 pins, said he and Nathan are very close. Seth, who stands 5-foot-11, is about three inches taller than his brother. “I see him a lot,” Seth said. “We hang around a lot and we go on field trips together and we like to do the same stuff. We like to work out in our barn. He works on demolition derby cars and I’m kind of getting into that. He just got into it two years ago and we always like to go see them at the county fair, and (driving them) is starting to become a reality.” Seth said he isn’t sure if he can beat Nathan on the mat, saying, “If I couldn’t, I would put up a good fight,” but he does confess to learning a lot from watching Nathan wrestle. “I always watched his matches, the technique he used,” Seth said. “I just wanted to be like him. This year I started to take more shots. Usually I’ve been a shortoffense type guy, or mostly defense. This year, I’m doing a lot more offense and it’s working very well.” Moore (15-5) competed as a 126-pounder as a freshman, moved up to 138 as a

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHPhotos.smugmug.com) sophomore and competed at 152 last season, placing third at the Northern Buckeye Conference tournament. Genoa coach Bob Bergman said that, even as a freshman, Moore often showed his mettle against more experienced opponents. “He had a bunch of gutsy upsets that literally saved a couple of our dual meets,” Bergman recalled. “Seth’s a gamer. He’s got that twinkle in his eye that he’s ready to perform. He looks pretty dominant this year. All five of his losses are to quality guys, state-level guys. He has some quality wins as well. He can put anyone on their back in the blink of an eye.” Moore got his revenge on Elmwood’s Garrett Wright at last weekend’s Perrysburg Invitational Tournament. Wright decisioned Moore in a dual meet earlier this season, but Moore beat Wright by a 14-6

major decision en route to a third-place finish at the PIT. Genoa won the team title at the PIT for the first time, scoring 218 points to beat second-ranked (Division II) Wauseon by 17 points. The Comets’ Julian Sanchez, a junior 126-pounder, was named the tournament’s most valuable wrestler. Bergman said Moore’s performance at the PIT proved that he is state-level material. “He’s had a big transition from a light weight as a freshman and growing into an upper weight,” Bergman said. “He had a tough Medina tournament (going 3-2), but he was right in the middle of it. He’s just a good kid. He’s an optimist and he’s positive at all times. He never has a down day. He has the qualities to be a great team leader.” Moore said a lot of his positive think-
ing comes from hanging with the right crowd. “I like to be around positive people,” he said. “I don’t like people dragging me down. I always try to stay in a good mood, but once in a while I’ll have a bad day. After a loss, usually I can work through it and learn from my mistakes.” Moore is heavily involved with FFA and said he enjoys working with his hands. He plans to go take up a skilled trade after he graduates. “I like doing anything in the shop – mostly metal projects like welding,” Moore said. “My dad (Pat) taught me how to weld when I was younger. He was a pipe fitter and I took an interest in welding.” Good to know, because one day he may have to construct a wrestling barn for his kids.

Eagles’ Tyler Haas — a fan favorite of coaches, peers By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Coaches and peers love guys like Tyler Haas. In April, Haas, a 6-foot-5 three-sport athlete at Eastwood, plans to commit to play baseball at Bowling Green State University. He was a second-team AllNorthern Buckeye Conference cornerback for the Eagles’ state runner-up football team this past season, and he currently leads the Eagles’ basketball team in scoring and rebounding. Haas said the thought of not going out for basketball for the sake of avoiding a possible serious injury that could derail his senior year on the baseball team never crossed his mind. One of his football teammates, lineman Dalton Andrews, injured his knee in the state championship game and will miss the entire basketball season. Another one of coach Todd Henline’s top players, senior guard Cade Boos, was injured in the first quarter of the first game during football season. Boos is expected to be back on the court later this month. Henline is glad Haas chose to play basketball as a senior. “Tyler has had a good year so far for us, both scoring and rebounding,” Henline said. “He’s been solid all year. He’s fun to be around and he’s a good kid. He just shows up, does his job and does his own thing. I would kind of label him as quiet. He’s really taken on the inside role pretty good this year. He just keeps improving.” Haas averages 14 points and 7.5 rebounds a game for the Eagles, who improved to 6-2 and 4-1 in the NBC after Tuesday’s 45-38 win at Lake. It was Eastwood’s fourth straight win after a 2-2 start to the season, which got delayed due to the football team advancing to the state title game. Haas said getting into basketball shape following a 15-game football season took a little time. “The biggest thing is conditioning,” he said. “From playing both ways (in football) going to basketball, there’s no comparison. It probably took a week and a half, two
Eastwood senior Tyler Haas and Genoa junior Andrew Bench square off on a gameopening tipoff. (Press photo by Lee Welch/ FamilyPhotoGroup. com) weeks, to get in shape. We only had six or seven practices before our first game, so we had to figure that out quick.” The Eagles opened on Dec. 14 with a win over Elmwood, followed by a win over Fostoria five days later. Eastwood lost backto-back games against Genoa and Archbold before embarking on its current four-game winning streak. “I think now we’re starting to figure out our offensive identity a little bit,” Haas said.
Got Bugs? We Kill Them All.
“We still struggle at times. We don’t care who scores, as long as we score. Night in and night out, it’s always a different person scoring. One night I had 20 points, and the next night somebody had 17 or 18. Other times, the bench is picking it up for us.” Henline said Haas is a slasher who does a good job of turning himself into a scoring option inside when a teammate penetrates the lane. “He’s done a great job of getting a hand
on basketballs, keeping it alive and scoring,” Henline said. “He has a knack for offensive rebounding and making himself available when someone is attacking. He’s been doing a nice job on kicking out when the ball is thrown out on the perimeter. Two of the seniors we graduated played inside, and losing Dalton was another guy inside, so a lot of it has fallen on Tyler. He has benefited from that and made the most of it.” Haas is the Eagles’ starting catcher on the baseball team and he also pitches, but he said BGSU recruited him to be a catcher. He was named to the All-NBC first team last spring, and his family has a history of playing baseball in the Mid-American Conference. Tyler’s grandfather, Gary Haas Sr., played shortstop at Bowling Green and Tyler’s father, Gary Haas Jr., was a catcher at the University of Toledo. Gary Sr. is a member of the BGSU Athletic Hall of Fame. “He’ll let you know about it, too,” Tyler joked. “He’s pretty outgoing about himself and his pride. He has a lot of confidence in me. I’ve always heard I’m the third-best athlete in the family. I still have a long road to go, but my grandpa and my dad have helped me along the way. My footwork has been pretty good, and basketball helps a lot. My knees are in pretty good shape for a 17-year-old who plays three sports.” Tyler said he chose to play for the Falcons because the campus is 10 minutes away from his home and their coaching staff was the first one to contact him, during week six of football season during his junior year. “I went on a visit there that summer,” he said. “I live close, so I’m familiar with the area. It was pretty much a no-brainer. I didn’t have a lot of offers; they were the only school that called. I liked the coaches and the guys on the team.” Haas said he plans to major in construction management at BGSU. For now, he’s focused on helping the Eagles finish strong this season. “I’m not really satisfied right now,” he said. “I know there is more I can do to help the team. When the final buzzer goes off, I know I don’t have anything left to give the team.”

Yet, again, Oak Harbor girls basketball finds itself in the thick of the Sandusky Bay Conference’s Bay Division race. After 13 games, the Rockets are 10-3 overall and 4-2 in the division with a legitimate shot at winning a league title that eluded them last season. “At this point in the season, 10 wins overall is solid. Our players have played very hard and with great pride all season long. I think there is still much room for this team to improve and get better.” said Coach Tom Kontak, who is closing in on his 200th career win at Oak Harbor Behind Logan Harris, Sophie Eli and Ashley Riley’s scoring and Abby Dornbusch’s athleticism, Oak Harbor is in third place in the Bay Division, one game behind Margaretta and two behind Willard. Harris, who recently committed to play basketball at NCAA Division II University of Findlay, leads the SBC Bay in scoring at 20.4 points per game and is third in rebounds at 9.7. “Logan has done a super job for us this season. We know, she knows, and the other team knows she will be the main focus in each game. So, it’s no secret and it’s something that Logan has definitely embraced with awesome responsibility. Logan has produced at a very high level all year,” said Kontak. “As a team, we know that it will take five players on the floor to be at their very best when it matters most. That will be the difference between being a good team and being a really good team.” Eli (12.1) and Riley (10.4) are close behind and Riley actually leads the division in 3-point shooting — she has connected on 19-of-42 tries, good for 45.2 percent. Dornbusch, who averaged 6.8 points, leads the division in assists at 5.2. “Ashley has played very consistently all season long. She is a tremendous threat from behind the arc, is a clutch free-throw shooter, and goes to the boards with the best of them,” said Kontak. “Sophia brings such great energy and passion to our team every day. She is a fearless competitor and
we all know she will do whatever the team needs to be successful. “Abby Dornbusch is plain and simple our leader on and off the floor. She is relentless up-and-down the floor each and every game. She’s got the ball in her hands the majority of the time and gives us all that winning edge every day. We respect her leadership so much.” A collection of key contributors — Emily Lenke, the fifth starter, Alaina Hetrick, Auna Tack, Jill Thorbahn and Addi Hasselbach have filled in and provided valuable minutes. “Emily Lenke has been our fifth starter all year long. She knows we need her to simply play great defense, get her hands on rebounds, and knock down her one-footers,” said Kontak. “She has understood her role, and, most importantly, accepted her roll her whole career.” Perhaps Oak Harbor’s biggest win of the year came when it knocked off Fremont St. Joseph from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 51-44 victory. The Rockets, who led by one at halftime, steadily built their lead in the second half while clamping down on defense. Eli had a game-high 16 points, Harris scored 14 and Riley chipped in with 12. Another impressive win came when Oak Harbor defeated Eastwood, 58-38. The Rockets held star player Jamie Schmeltz to just four points and Oak Harbor got 23 from Harris while Riley scored 12. More recently, Kontak’s club eked out a win over Edison, 34-28, behind eight points apiece from Eli and Dornbusch. Oak Harbor’s 49-48 loss to Willard came after the Rockets held a 15-point lead and ended with Brooke Vipperman hitting a baseline jumper at the buzzer. Had that shot been missed, Oak Harbor, Willard and Margaretta would be in a three-way tie for first in the division. “The Sandusky Bay Conference has always been, and always will be, a very competitive league,” said Kontak. “All the schools in the league are strong programs and have incredible communities that follow them. In most every league game, you better be ready to play or you’re going to be overwhelmed and beaten by your opponent.”

Happy 50th Anniversary Bob & Pat Baker
January 19th
By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Some doubt might have crept into the minds of Genoa’s boys basketball players after the Comets’ first two games. Genoa got off to an 0-2 start with a 5150 loss to Oak Harbor and a 66-38 loss to Wauseon, both on the road. Wauseon, it should be noted, is the top-ranked Division II team in the state in this week’s inaugural Associated Press poll. “We were still shaking off some of the football rust with our core guys,” Genoa coach Zach Alt said. “We definitely knew what we were supposed to do, but we hadn’t had enough reps in practice to make it a habit. As we got more practice time and the guys got more comfortable with their roles, we’ve had a little more success.” Whatever doubt was there early, that appears to have been solved. Genoa improved to 7-3 and 6-0 in the Northern Buckeye Conference on Tuesday with a 5837 home victory over Elmwood. It was the second game of a five-game home stand for the Comets. Genoa has a 1½ game lead over second place Eastwood and if the Comets can continue unscathed, they will own title rights outright. “Defensively, they’re buying into what we want to do,” Alt said. “They’re taking pride in defensive rebounding, as we grow more comfortable with things in our offense and create more shots for each other. That’s been the difference in the last few games.” Jacob Plantz, a 6-foot-3 junior guard, has led the way offensively in the Comets’ four-guard lineup. Plantz, who was 16 points shy of his 1,000th career point heading into Friday night’s game against Lake, averages a team-high 18.9 points a game to go along with 5.4 rebounds and 2.3 steals. “He’s been a little more patient letting the game come to him,” Alt said. “A lot of his points come in the back third of the game, in winning time. He’s trying to get other guys involved early. The last couple games he was taking his time around the rim to make sure he finishes.” Genoa’s second leading scorer is 6-5 junior Drew Bench, who averages 10.5 points and a team-high 6.7 rebounds a game.
“Drew is getting going a little bit,” Alt said. “He’s doing the right things rebounding at a high rate for us. When we see other teams, especially in the conference, they do a good job of scheming their zone or double-teaming (Bench). It hasn’t been easy to score, but he’s working through it.” The Comets’ two senior starters, point guard Josiah Bradfield and off-guard Noah Edwards, are also pulling their weight. Bradfield averages 6.9 points and a team best 3.2 assists per game. “A year ago we asked him to get us organized,” Alt said. “This year he gets us organized and he has scored at a higher rate. He’s doing a good job of getting the ball up the floor in transition. We lost two seniors who were averaging double figures. We have to replace them, and what better way to start than with a three-year point guard. He puts pressure on the defense taking the ball to the basket.” Alt said Edwards “is setting the tone defensively” for Genoa, which allowed just 34.5 points per game in its last seven games. “We’ve allowed Noah to pick up the (opponents’) point guard in the full court to create some havoc on the defensive end,” Alt said, adding that junior guard Nate Lewis has been a solid lockdown defender. “He creates on the offensive end, rebounds, and he takes the ball to the basket for us,” Alt said. “He’s grown and he’s bigger than he was last year. He does a lot of the dirty work, stuff that doesn’t show up in the stat book. He’s doing a nice job for us.” A trio of junior guards — Caleb McGeorge, Jacob Bradfield and Joey Dominique — have played well in substitute roles. “They provide a spark off the bench in their own way,” Alt said. “Caleb stretches the floor, Jacob can create some things going to the basket offensively, and Joey is a long defender who can get to the glass.” Alt said he is confident his veteran players will make sure the Comets take care of business down the stretch. “The guys who are newer to the varsity level, as they grow more confident and get better, the better we’re going to be,” Alt said. “Our other four guys have been doing it for more than two years now.”

The Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life, general welfare and prosperity of the Eastern Maumee Bay Community. The Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce service region includes the communities of East Toledo, Jerusalem Township, Walbridge, the city of Northwood and the city of Oregon. The Oregon Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1960 shortly after the city of Oregon was founded. The Oregon Chamber, along with area Chambers and Business Associations, formed the Maumee Bay Business Awards in 1993. The awards highlighted and showcased businesses in the area that excelled in safety, growth and increased revenue, and promoted best practices in business. The local business awards are now referred to as the Prism Awards. The Oregon Chamber of Commerce changed its name and charter in 1997 to Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce to reflect a mission to
serve and be more inclusive of whole area east of the Maumee River. Today, the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce provides a range of services to businesses and non-profit organizations within the community, including health insurance group rates, workers’ compensation training and group ratings, credit card processing service discounts and other group programs and discount services. In addition, the organization also provides classes, workshops, open houses, networking events and training for chamber members. It also provides ribbon-cutting services for new businesses and grand re-opening for businesses that have relocated or refreshed their current business. The Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber promotes its members by organizing special events throughout the year, and hosts a community and business fair, and promotes local commerce on Small Business Saturday. Annually the chamber publishes a member directory in partnership with Press Newspapers.
