Jerusalem Twp.

Governor’s Award given for Howard Marsh Metroparks Toledo is the winner of the 2018 Ohio Parks and Recreation Association Governor’s Award for phase 1 construction of Howard Marsh Metropark.

In addition to the Governor’s Award, Howard Marsh, in Jerusalem Township received a first place award in a category for capital improvements with a budget of $2.5 million or more.

Metroparks created the 1,000-acre Howard Marsh – now the second largest in the park system – from agricultural land, converting more than 600 acres to coastal wetland and planting 12,000 trees and shrubs. Located near Lake Erie, the park has a six-mile trail that includes a half-mile boardwalk through a marsh, two kayak launches and fishing platforms.

Since it opened at the end of last April, more than 60,000 people have visited the park, which quickly gained a reputation as a place to view shorebirds during the Biggest Week in American Birding festival in May. “Howard Marsh is a fabulous Metropark and the culmination of a decade of partnership between Metroparks Toledo and many state and federal agencies,” said Woody

“

This is the single largest project in our agency’s 90-year history. No one agency could pull this off.

Woodward, executive director of the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association. “It helps to protect Ohio’s most valuable natural resource, promotes tourism and serves as a shining example of the way that parks and recreation agencies can improve the quality of life for the people they serve.”

Howard Marsh is the single largest wetland restoration project completed under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.

Accomplished goals included habitat restoration, enhanced water quality and improved recreation opportunities. The achieved metrics include:

• 571 acres of new restored coastal wetlands • 116 acres of new upland habitat (including 7,500 new trees) • 6 miles of deep water channels for boating and fish habitat • 6.6 miles of new hiking trails and boardwalks • 191 species of resident and migratory song birds, shorebirds and waterfowl have been documented using the restored habitat since opening.

The park’s unique design immerses park visitors into a total wetland experience with a spectacular 360 degree view of three interconnected marshland units interspersed with nine restored upland habitat islands.

The Governor’s Award was established in 2010 to recognize the one park and recreation program or project that has had the most significant impact on quality of life in the preceding year. The award winner was announced and the award presented at the OPRA Annual Awards Dinner on February 5 at the Kalahari Convention Center in Sandusky.

All fourteen winners of OPRA program and project awards were considered

Oregon City Council recently authorized a ground lease/purchase agreement with the owner of the former Kmart property at 2830 Navarre Ave. for a 120 day due diligence period. The city will then decide whether it wants to enter into a 10 year lease with an option at the end of the 10 years to buy the property for $3.7 million, with lease payments of approximately $300,000 per year during that 10 year period.

The acquisition is part of the city’s downtown development project.

Shawn Kapfhammer, owner of S&K Mow and Snow, which is located on the property, will have to move his business, since all of the buildings at that location will be demolished as part of the acquisition deal. Kapfhammer leases the property for less than the going rate of commercial property at that site.

Kapfhammer, who has leased the property from the owners of Kmart for four years, said he was not informed by city officials that he might have to relocate his business.

“Not one person came to me for a plan on what we can do, other than what we can’t do,” said Kapfhammer. “The administration did not reach out to even see what they could even do for us.”

He said he has another business in Rossford, but it is too small to relocate the Oregon business to that location.

“My portfolio to go somewhere is not very big. My place in Rossford is a 2,700 square foot facility. I can’t contain my business and 20 employees in a 2,700 sq. foot facility. I can take a handful with me,” he said “I’m hurting more than everyone in this room put together. Nobody has skin in the game. It’s all tax money. Nobody personally has any other finances in this deal here. I’m the one that is hurt and hurting.”

Kapfhammer said he didn’t want to keep the project from going forward.

“Do I want to stop the city from growing? No. I was born and raised here. Why would I want to see the city I love not succeed? My city has failed me at this point.

I’m not asking for money. I’m not asking for nothing - just a little consideration. Just to care. It doesn’t cost anything to care,” he said.

Council President Dennis Walendzak apologized to Kapfhammer for what he is going through.

“You and I have been friends and grew up together. I have done business with you. Nobody wants to see you fail,” said Walendzak. “You are a good businessman and you are good for the city. Obviously, you got caught up in some things that maybe aren’t as desirable as you would like them to be and I apologize for that and for not coming in to talk to you. But at this point in time, we’re not committing ourselves to anything other than moving forward with due diligence. On April 25, we can back out of this, and you’re still at Kmart.”

“But where is my future at?” asked Kapfhammer. “Is it something we need to talk about here tonight or tomorrow? I need some clarity.”

Walendzak said setting up a meeting with the administration to discuss the matter “would be appropriate.”

“I would like to shed some perspective on this,” said Mayor Mike Seferian. “When you first moved in there, we told you that Kmart might go bankrupt nationally.” He said the five year lease Kapfhammer has with the owners of the Kmart property is nearly at an end.

“We are not throwing you out,” said Seferian, adding that he told Kapfhammer a year ago that negotiations to purchase the property were “moving a lot faster.”

“You asked me if you could get a year.

I said I thought you could get a year,” said Seferian.

Seferian also said he reached out to Kapfhammer about the possibility of buying property at Wheeling and Pickle where the former Coy school was located. He said he contacted school officials, who were eager to sell for a few hundred thousand dollars. Kapfhammer, he added, was initially interested, but later said he could not afford it.

Seferian said if the city doesn’t buy the Kmart property, “someone else will.”

“They won’t sell it unless those buildings come down. They are telling us the only way we could take possession of that property is to tear the buildings down. We tried to get it without tearing the buildings down but we couldn’t do it.”

for this statewide “best in show” award.

Officials from eight statewide organizations formed the voting panel for the 2018 award. They included: Ohio Association of Broadcasters, Ohio Association of Realtors, Ohio Automobile Dealers Association, Ohio Homebuilders Association, Ohio Library Council, Ohio Manufacturers’ Association, Ohio Municipal League and Ohio Township Association. They judged the program and project winners based on the following criteria: • Demonstrated impact of the program or project on the community quality of life; • The project or program is unique/ innovative or presents a new way of doing something; • The program or project addresses a felt need in the community and includes clear goals which are achieved; and, • The program or project is utilized by the community and outcomes can be demonstrated.

Mary Mertz, who was recently appointed director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, announced the award and presented executive director Dave Zenk with a proclamation signed by Governor Mile DeWine. OPRA also presented Metroparks $500 for the park district’s foundation.

More than 20 members of the Metroparks staff, three board members, former executive director Steve Madewell and representatives of the Ohio Division of Wildlife joined Zenk on stage to accept the award.

“This is the single largest project in our agency’s 90-year history,” Zenk said. “No one agency could pull this off.”

Zenk called out the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Division of Wildlife specifically for its many contributions, including more than half the cost of acquiring and restoring the property.

Communities in Northwest Ohio received more than $51 million in low-interest rate funding from Ohio EPA to improve wastewater and drinking water infrastructure.

The loans were approved between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2018.

The lower interest rates and principal forgiveness will save communities more than $7.5 million. Statewide, Ohio EPA awarded approximately $188 million in loans during the fourth quarter of the year, including $10 million in principal forgiveness. Combined, Ohio communities will save more than $37 million when compared to market-rate loans.

Ohio EPA provided approximately $795 million for public works projects throughout 2018. More than $161 million was awarded to Northwest Ohio communities in 2018. The projects are improving Ohio’s surface water quality and the reliability and quality of Ohio drinking water systems.

For the fourth quarter of 2018, the following Northwest Ohio projects are receiving funding: •Toledo is receiving three loans. A $44.7 million loan will fund construction of new ozone treatment facilities for the east and west drinking water treatment plants to oxidize harmful algal bloom con-

taminants. The city also is receiving a $3.9 million loan to separate combined sewers in the Paine and Fassett streets neighborhoods and provide backwater protection at the combined sewer overflow outfall. The third loan is for $2.5 million to build a sewage storage basin in International Park.

•Port Clinton is receiving $269,000 in funding to expand and enhance coastal wetlands along the Lake Erie shoreline in the city. The restoration will produce wetland habitat of significantly higher functional value than what currently exists in the project site. The funding is from Continued on page 4

Proud of Conservation Achievements Zenk also said that he is most proud of Metroparks conservation track record, noting that members of the staff who worked on Howard Marsh and other significant restoration projects have received OPRA’s Jack Hanna Resource Conservation Award for three consecutive years. This year’s recipient, Tim Gallaher, and the two previous recipients, Denis Franklin and Tim Schetter, joined Zenk on stage.

Among other notable accomplishments in his 16 years at Metroparks, Gallaher, was directly responsible for planting more than

95,000 trees across Lucas County.

“Congratulations to Tim Gallaher, this year’s winner of the Jack Hanna Resource Conservation Award,” said Jack Hanna, the award’s namesake, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and longtime TV personality. “He and his colleagues at Metroparks Toledo are perfect examples of what makes Ohio great.

“Our state is full of great parks and even more great people who are working every day to ensure Ohio’s wildlife continues to prosper,” Hanna said. “I am honored to have my name associated with such a wonderful award that promotes the impressive conservation work being done right here in Ohio.”

De-valuation puts B-C-S at crossroads

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com With the stroke of a pen at the Ohio Department of Taxation, the BentonCarroll-Salem school district finds itself at a financial crossroads, Guy Parmigian, district superintendent, says in his State of the School District for 2019.

The pen stroke came when the taxation department de-valued the property at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station that had been a major revenue source for the school district.

“The journey this school district has been on has been one of superior academic performance while operating in a fiscally conservative manner, respecting the hardworking taxpayers of our district,” he writes, emphasizing that salaries and wages of B-C-S staffers haven’t risen for six years.

Students are achieving in the classroom and finding opportunities outside the classroom – from the wrestling mat to the concert stage – and the district’s school buildings remain centers of the community’s social life, Parmigian notes.

Data compiled by Arlyn Bensch, a member of the district’s finance committee, compares B-C-S to 17 other school districts: Danbury, Genoa, Port Clinton, Woodmore, Fremont, Oregon, Eastwood, Lake, Rossford, Clyde, Edison, Huron, Margaretta, Perkins, Shelby, Vermilion and Willard.

For the 2017-18 fiscal year, B-C-S spent about $10,022 per pupil; slightly more than the average of the group, which was $9,880. The average teacher salary at B-C-S was $63,827 and the group average was $62,493.

The state’s overall grade for B-C-S was a B. Only Danbury, Genoa, Eastwood,

Edison and Perkins also received Bs and no district in the group received an A. B-C-S had an overall performance index of 100.92. Eastwood was the only other district to have an index above 100.

With property tax collections down by about $2.1 million at B-C-S and the district losing about $300,000 annually from the state in reimbursements for lost public utility taxes, the 1 percent tax on earned income on the May ballot is basically maintaining the status quo.

“So, do our young people deserve the educational opportunities that they have today – or do they deserve much less? These are the stakes,” Parmigian said.

B-C-S voters twice last year rejected a 1 percent income.

In November, it fell by more than 300 votes. However, in May it was defeated by only about 50 votes and voters approved a 3.89-mill property tax in that election.

Potholes nuisance in the winter season The swing from sub-zero temperatures to highs near 60 degrees in parts of Ohio within a few days, coupled with rain and snow have created perfect conditions for the formation of potholes.

Potholes are a common nuisance, particularly during the winter season when the freeze/thaw cycle weakens the pavement. This happens when water seeps into cracks in the pavement, then expands as it freezes. When temperatures warm up, and the ice melts, the pavement contracts,

allowing even more moisture in to freeze and thaw.

Add traffic on the road and the pavement will eventually fail, creating a pothole. Roadways with a high volume of traffic are particularly prone to pothole formation.

Not only should drivers be extra alert for potholes over the next several days, but also for ODOT crews working to fill them.

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Lake Township will receive about $3,377 more this year from the Wood County Solid Waste Management District to offset costs for curbside recycling.

The increase is based on an increase from $1 per resident to $1.50 in the solid waste district’s per capita payments to villages and townships providing the curbside service.

The current rate of $1 per resident has been in effect more than 20 years, according to the board of county commissioners, which informed the municipalities and townships providing the service of the increase in a recent letter.

Jeff Pettit, chairman of the Lake Township trustees, read the letter during last week’s trustees meeting. At $1 per capita, the township received $6,753 from the district. With the 50-cent increase, that is expected to increase to $10,129, said Kelly O’Boyle, assistant county administrator.

She said the per capita rates are based on populations from the 2010 census. The new payments will be issued to communities after the waste district receives their annual report data as required by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

Four cities, Bowling Green, Northwood, Perrysburg and Rossford; the villages of Haskins, Millbury and Walbridge, and Lake Township provide the curbside service.

Last June, the county announced 24hour drop-off recycling service has been established at locations in Bloomdale, Custar/Milton Township, Grand Rapids, Jackson Township, Hoytville, Pemberville, Tontogany, Weston, Perrysburg Township, Troy Township and Portage Township.

•Kenton ($75,900), Greenwich ($18,800), and Grand Rapids ($18,900) each are receiving interest-free loans to complete asset management plans for their drinking water systems. Additionally, $10,000 of each loan is principal forgiveness, meaning it does not have to be repaid.

Created in 1989, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) helps communities improve their wastewater treatment systems. The Water Supply Revolving Loan

Account (WSRLA), started in 1998, provides loans for improvements to community drinking water systems and nonprofit, non-community public water systems.

Both programs offer below-market interest rate loans, which can save communities a substantial amount of money compared to market-rate loans.

Ohio EPA’s state revolving fund (SRF) loans are provided to communities to build and upgrade wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, upgrade home sewage treatment systems, better manage storm water, address combined sewer overflows and implement other water quality-related projects. Financial assistance helps support planning, design and construction activities and enhances the technical, managerial and financial capacity of these systems.

WPCLF loans also make possible the restoration and protection of some of Ohio’s highest quality water bodies through the fund’s Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program.

Ohio’s SRF loan programs are partially supported by annual federal capitalization grants and have grown substantially over

Oregon council approves SUE permit for dog kennel

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council recently approved a request for a Special Use permit in an A-1 Agricultural zoned district at 6733 Seaman Road for the purpose of operating a kennel with seven dogs.

The applicants/owners are Walter and Yvonne DuPont. A kennel is generally not a permitted use in an agricultural district.

In 2001, the city passed an ordinance that permitted only three dogs per household after there were constant complaints from neighbors about noise and odor of households in the city with multiple dogs.

The city grandfathered in multiple dog households that went beyond the three dog limit at the time the ordinance was passed.

If someone has more than three dogs and wishes to have them housed in the city legally, the only avenue is to apply for a kennel permit.

The Project Review Committee had no objections to the proposed kennel because it is located in an A-1 Agricultural zoned district.

One year renewal James Gilmore,

commissioner

of

building and zoning, said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the SUE request at a Nov. 20 meeting.

“They gave approval, but want to revisit it in a year,” said Gilmore. “They also wanted a maintenance plan for the yard waste. Once all of the dogs, except for one, die, they will not be replaced.”

Bill Mata, who said he lived next door to the DuPonts said the odor from the yard was strong after he returned from a 17 day vacation over the Christmas holiday.

“Not at any time was anything picked up out there. My wife and I were out cleaning up our yard, and the stench was so bad, we couldn’t stand it. I give them the benefit of the doubt. I don’t want to see anyone lose their dogs. But I don’t want to live in my house as a prisoner. I don’t know what it’s going to be like in the summer when I’m in my pool.”

Mayor Mike Seferian, who is on the Planning Commission, said he told the DuPonts “it was key they maintained the integrity of the agreement, which was to clean up the dog messes. From what I’m told, the dogs are in a caged in area which is fairly small. I really want to see this work. But when you have a problem like this, it’s very difficult to pass.”

Walter DuPont disputed the allegation

he was not cleaning up after the dogs.

“I don’t know where he is getting his information. If he’s been on vacation for 17 days, I don’t know how he can say we haven’t done the job. We do it at least twice per week. The grandkids have also offered to go out and take care of the situation because they don’t want to lose the dogs, either. So it has been taken care of,” said DuPont.

Regular inspections “One of our objectives is we don’t want to start or fuel any neighborhood feuds or disputes,” said Seferian. “If we did pass this, would you have an objection to city inspectors coming in and making regular inspections for a while to see to it that the neighbor’s concerns are heard?”

“We have no problem at all,” said DuPont. “Anyone can come out at anytime and look.”

“If we chose to go forward with this, and the inspectors come to us with bad reports during that one year period, we could withdraw that permit,” said Seferian.

“I understand,” said DuPont.

“I would like to see this go through for you. But you really have to keep your obligation,” said Seferian.

The DuPonts have three Shih Tzu’s,

three Toy Poodles and an Alaskan Malamute. Two of the dogs are puppies.

Councilwoman Kathleen Pollauf asked if the dogs live in the yard.

“They’re housedogs, aren’t they?” she asked.

“Yes, they’re in the house all the time,” said DuPont.

“Is your yard fenced in?” she asked.

“Yes, it is,” said DuPont.

Lee Michalski, owner of FiFi Chere grooming salon on Tremainsville Road, said she grooms the DuPont’s dogs every four weeks.

“I find it hard to believe that they show up every four weeks with all those dogs to my shop and they would not go in their backyard and clean up. They make every effort to drive 40 minutes to my shop with all those dogs. If that yard is in that big of disarray, those dogs would be a mess. But they are not. Those dogs are clean. They are up to date on their vaccines. I see every reason for them to be able to keep these dogs.”

Council voted in favor of the Special Use Exception in an A-1 Agricultural Zoned District for the operation of the kennel with the condition that the DuPonts will allow the zoning department to conduct maintenance inspections of the yard to ensure the yard waste is being properly maintained.

In Memory of Stephen Edward Perlaky Jr. 8/15/1946 - 2/1/2019 Stephen Edward Perlaky Jr., went home to see His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, February 1, 2019. He had endured a long illness, but passed away quickly and peacefully in the garage, a place that was very representative of his love of working with his hands and sharing his knowledge with others. He was a loving husband of 40 years to his wife, Earleen L. Perlaky (Deppen-DeLeon), and proud father of Mark E. DeLeon (Darcy), Stephen E. Perlaky III (Charlotte), Laura Young (Nick) and Michelle Harder (Craig). His 12 grandchildren were very dear to him; Lydia Manuel (Jabez), Alayna Chrysler (Jacob), Ethan DeLeon, Aubrey, Averey, and Zachary Perlaky, Selah, Jonah, and Rebekah Young, and Moriah, Silas and Avenlee Harder.

Recently becoming a Great Grandfather to Bethany Manuel made him especially proud. Stephen is also survived by his loving mother, Pacia Whitman Perlaky and sister, Patsy(Richard) Anselmo of Maryland. He was preceded in death by his father, Stephen E. Perlaky, and sisters, Judy Christiansen (Perlaky-Martin) and Angela Perlaky.

Stephen was born in Toledo, Ohio on August 15, 1946 and was the oldest of four children.

He grew up in Oregon, Ohio. Some of the fondest years of his childhood were spent in Dade City, Florida living with his Grandma and Grandpa Whitman during middle school. As a teen, he was a wrestler and football player and received top physical ¿tness awards. Stephen graduated from Cardinal Stritch High School in 1965, in Oregon, Ohio.

After high school he went on to barber school, at the direction of his uncle, and became a Barber. In 1966, Stephen enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves where he served 6 years. Steve, as most called him, spent his life as a Craftsman. He loved his tools and working on projects. The pinnacle of his career was being the founder of Perlaky Repair & Finish, a boat repair business in Trowbridge, Ohio. He later went on to become a Commercial Project Coordinator and worked hard in a variety of capacities until he retired 2003. He was known as man who thought things through, worked from sun up to way after sun down, and provided quality craftsmanship on every project.

His father instilled in him a love of boats at a young age. Steve shared many memories of working on and enjoying boats. His tools, carpentry work, and in his later years ‘tinkering around in the garage’ brought him a lot of joy. He had a unique perspective on life and shared his sense of humor freely.

Steve faced many dif¿cult health issues during the last several years, but endured them without complaint. He demonstrated incredible strength and faith; and always had a positive attitude no matter what the set back. Steve is fondly remembered for his extraordinary energy, his passion for life, and remarkable way he lived it. He brought laughter to everyone who knew him. He often praised his caregivers since 2001. Steve was a wonderful family man and friend, and will be greatly missed by all.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, February 9, 2019 from 10:00am to 12:00pm at the Mill Grove United Methodist Chapel in Indian Trail, North Carolina and his memorial service will be held at 12:00pm. A time of remembrance and gathering of friends will be held in Ohio in the coming months and will be announced at a later date. Memorials can be given to Habitat for Humanity of Union County or one’s choice. Online condolences www.gaskinservices.com.

People Kaptur honored by Parks & Rec Assn.

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur has been named Legislator of the Year by the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association.

The award was presented at a banquet Feb. 5 during OPRA’s annual conference and trade show at Kalahari Resort in Sandusky.

“Congresswoman Kaptur has been a friend to our agency and many others in our field,” said Dave Zenk, executive director of Metroparks Toledo, which nominated her for the honor. “The new Chessie Circle Trail, an important north-south link in the region’s trail system, is just one example of the many projects that may not have happened without her vision.”

“Please let me express to you my sincere gratitude for the honor you have extended to me as your Legislator of the Year,” Kaptur said. “I believe deeply in the value of our exceptional park systems and in those who serve the public by connecting them with nature and the joy of outdoor experiences. I would like to thank the outstanding people who serve the Metroparks Toledo system for nominating me for this honor. It has been my pleasure to work with you and the other parks and recreation advocates to preserve our natural heritage.”

A statement from the Association cited Rep. Kaptur as a longtime champion for

parks, conservation and access to greenspace, “with an impressive record of action on each.”

Rep. Kaptur has played important roles in numerous Metroparks projects. She secured funding for a 500acre addition to Oak Openings Preserve, the region’s largest park and part of an Marcy Kaptur even larger greenway corridor. She also was an early champion of Howard Marsh, the largest wetland restoration project in recent years on all the Great Lakes, and the single largest project in Metroparks Toledo history. She helped secure nearly $7 million in federal funding for that project.

In addition, Rep. Kaptur has been a supporter of the National Parks System (NPS), including the two National Parks located in her Congressional District: Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial on South Bass Island in Lake Erie.

Remembering February 3, 1959... the day the music died

By John Whitehead The snow was heavy on that night 60 years ago. The only alternative to riding all night long in a dirty, unheated bus to the next concert gig was a tiny airplane.

Shortly after takeoff, however, the plane carrying Buddy Holly, along with Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, disappeared into a snowy cloud.

Holly’s torn, mangled body was found a few hours later in a frozen Iowa cornfield a little past midnight on Feb. 3, 1959.

I was a 12-year-old kid at the time.

For Buddy Holly fans like me, it seemed that all was lost, a feeling immortalized in Don McLean’s classic song. As an artist, Buddy Holly was only with us for 30 months, between 1957 and 1959, but in that short period, Holly’s innovation and keen musicianship made him the Mozart of rock music and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.

Virtually everything we hear on recordings and see on video and the concert stage can be traced to two icons: Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly.

Elvis, the quintessential star, soon forsook rock for slow ballads and mediocre musical films.

Holly, by contrast, was an adept musician and an artist who was devoted to his craft. He was a true pioneer, a revolutionary, a multi-dimensional talent. As Philip Norman writes in his insightful book, Rave On: The Biography of Buddy Holly (1996), “He threw back the boundaries of rock’n’roll, gave substance to its shivery shadow, transformed it from a chaotic cul-de-sac to a highway of infinite possibility and promise.”

To call someone who died at the age of 22 “the father of rock” is not as farfetched as it might seem.

The songs Holly wrote and performed

Judgment coming?

To the editor: As children of the 1950s, we grew up in a country that stood firmly upon the moral principles and values that were guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

The authors came to America to escape tyranny and religious persecution counting on divine providence to guide them as they wrote the Preamble to the Constitution guaranteeing all citizens Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Our post-war generation was told that America would always defend freedom and as we watched Ozzie and Harriet, Leave It to Beaver and The Andy Griffith Show, we saw what the American family was supposed to look like. They loved life together, prayed together and stayed together.

The age of protest began in the 60s, successfully delivering a major blow to life and the family unit by 1972 when Roe vs.

Wade was decided.

Since then we have seen the forces of God and evil waging war as our country is slowing slipping into its inevitable day of judgment. How much more will the creator of our universe take after seeing the legislators of the State of New York howl with laughter and cheering and clapping their

Guest Editorial are rock’n’roll classics. Two-minute masterpieces. They remain as fresh and potent today as when they were recorded over 60 years ago. “That’ll Be the Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “Rave On,” “Heartbeat” and others have been springboards of inspiration for countless budding musicians.

As a songwriter, performer and musician, Holly is the acknowledged progenitor of nearly every world-class rock talent to emerge in our lifetime: The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen and others admit his influence.

“His voice,” as Norman notes, “is the most imitated, yet inimitable, in rock music.”

Holly was one of the first musicians to produce his own work. This allowed him to pioneer various techniques, including being one of the first to accompany the rock beat with strings. He also pioneered double tracking, which future stars capitalized on.

Double tracking, which uses two tape recorders, allowed Holly to sing harmony to his own lead vocals and play both lead and rhythm guitar. This rendered the layered Holly sound particularly remarkable.

Unfortunately, the complexity of Holly’s songs was not fully appreciated by American audiences, but songs that didn’t make the American charts were often major hits in Great Britain.

One crucial detail sets Holly apart from Presley and other rock progenitors.

Letters

Whereas they had all become solo performers by the time they emerged on the scene, Holly came to stardom fronting a group, the Crickets. He and the Crickets’ guitar/bass/ drums lineup became the prototype for every rock band that followed.

In March of 1958, Holly and the Crickets toured Great Britain (something Presley never did), bringing him face to face with many of his disciples. His famous television appearance on Sunday Night at the London Palladium held some budding musical talent in a trance.

As Norman writes: “Up in Liverpool, John Lennon and Paul McCartney both had their noses practically touching the screen.”

Several years later, Lennon and McCartney formed the Beatles (originally the “Beetles” in honor of the Crickets) and wrote and performed their own songs, as had their hero, Buddy Holly.

In fact, the first recording the Beatles made, at their own expense, was Holly’s “That’ll Be the Day.” Holly was the first rocker to break through based on ability, energy and personality. Whereas Elvis attracted a mostly female audience, Holly’s fans were equally mixed between the sexes. Holly was homely and wore glasses. And Reginald Dwight (better known as Elton John) ruined his eyesight wearing black horn-rims in imitation of Holly.

As he took steps toward creating revolutionary music, Holly also rebelled against the apartheid that had divided white rock artists from blacks. He recorded one track (“Early in the Morning”) with a full gospel choir and another (“Reminiscing”) with the blues saxophonist King Curtis.

Shortly before his death, Holly was planning to produce other artists (such as Ritchie Valens, Paul Anka and the newcomer, Waylon Jennings) and open a re-

Bullying has consequences To the editor: When Parkland School experienced the terrible shooting spree that left many people dead or traumatized, there was a national outcry about guns. And though it’s true that guns did much damage that day, guns weren’t the beginning of the problem. In all likelihood, it was bullying.

When looking back at the life of a perpetrator, we almost always find a person who has suffered significant bullying and ostracism for a long time. Does it ever occur to these bullies they may be instrumental in destroying a person or even grooming their own killers? It’s so easy to follow the crowd, call names, make fun of others, and shut them out – friendless and alone.

Some victims choose to commit sui-

cide, effectively removing themselves from the path of their attackers, but breaking the hearts of those who love them. Others may be able to remove themselves from the path of their tormenters or find someone who will help them work their way through it.

In any case, both the aggressors and the victims are changed forever.

Will this lead to schoolmates being charged with complicity in the death of a student who chooses death over being bullied? Will we have children incarcerated for being accessories to murder when their victim finally breaks? We must devise a severe consequence for bullying.

Eliminating guns will not solve the problem. If someone really wants to hurt others, there are many things that can easily be used for weapons. It’s impossible to remove every single object that could be used as a weapon. We need to work harder on re-educating or removing bullies.

Bullying begets tragedy.

cording studio in London.

After his death, Holly’s influence and songs remained pervasive.

The Beatles continued what Holly had begun, multiplied his effect and became the greatest entertainment act of all time.

Paul McCartney later acquired the publishing rights to all of Holly’s songs and inaugurated the celebratory Buddy Holly Week.

In 1963, the Rolling Stones transformed themselves from a backwoods group to a commercial chart topper with Holly’s “Not Fade Away.”

Buddy Holly died with little realization of what his legacy would become. Yet he changed the course of history and filled our torn times with melodies that transcended the era in which they were written.

Community screening offered The Benton-Carroll-Salem School District, through the Office of Student Services, will offer free developmental screening for children ages 3 and 4 residing in the school district Friday, March 22 at the Carroll Township Hall, 11080 W. Toussaint East Rd., Oak Harbor.

Screenings will be by appointment only and offered from 8-11 a.m. Each appointment will last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. The purpose of the screening is to provide reassurance to parents and answer questions regarding their child’s development.

This screening is not for children currently enrolled in kindergarten. Appointments may be made by calling the Office of Student Services at 419-898-3280.

The Ottawa County Board of Developmental Disabilities will offer free developmental screenings for children ages birth-3 at the Carroll Township Hall.

Residents of Ottawa County who have a child in that age range and suspect that the child has delays (including but not limited to speech, social, motor or cognitive) should call 567-262-3141 to set up an appointment either on this date or in the future.

CASA volunteers sought Ottawa County CASA Program is forming a new class of volunteers.

CASA volunteers are the “voice of a child” in the courtroom. The trained volunteers research all aspects of the child’s life and make fact-based recommendations to the courts based on that research.

As the number of children involved with the opiate crisis continues to rise, the need for volunteers to advocate for the best interests of these children has never been greater.

Those who think they would like to make a difference in the life of a child, may contact the CASA office at 419-301-0225.

Walk MS: Findlay An estimated 175 people are expected to raise more than $25,000 at Walk MS: Findlay on April 13 at 9:30 a.m. at the University of Findlay, Koehler Athletic Complex, 1000 N. Main St. Walk MS is an opportunity for people to come together with friends, loved ones and co-workers to raise funds, connect and advocate for people affected by MS. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s goal is a world free of MS. Since its inception in 1988, Walk MS has cumulatively raised more than $1 billion.

Multiple sclerosis attacks the brain and spinal cord, and it is the most common neurological disease leading to disability in young adults. The National MS Society is a gathering place for people with MS, their family and loved ones, healthcare providers, volunteers, donors, fundraisers, advocates, community leaders and all those that seek a world free of MS. “Walk MS is all about community – people coming together to raise money and show support for loved ones, colleagues and friends,” said Cyndi Zagieboylo, President and CEO of the National MS Society. “Funds raised have a direct impact in this community, for example – our MS Navigator program.

MS Navigators are highly-skilled, compassionate professionals available to connect each person affected by MS to the resources and information they need to live their best lives.”

Ohio EMA accepting Safe Room applications Stop Penalizing Working Seniors Act introduced

“

A safe room is built to withstand these winds... and provides near absolute protection...

“

The Ohio Safe Room Rebate Program is once again accepting applications. The program provides a rebate for the purchase and construction/installation of tornado-safe rooms for Ohio homeowners selected for the program.

“The entire state of Ohio is at risk of an EF5 tornado, which produces 250-mileper-hour winds capable of destroying most structures,” said Steve Ferryman, Ohio EMA mitigation branch chief. “A safe room is built to withstand these winds and resulting airborne debris and provides near absolute protection for occupants.”

A safe room is an extreme-wind shelter or space that provides protection to people during a tornado. It can be constructed/installed in one of several places in the home – in the basement, beneath a concrete slabon-grade foundation or garage floor, or in an interior room on the first floor. A safe room may also be buried in the yard or be a stand-alone structure near your home.

Residents selected for the program could be eligible for a rebate up to 75 percent of the cost to install or construct a safe room – up to a maximum of $4,875.

To apply for the Ohio Safe Room Rebate Program, homeowners have until 5 p.m.

April 1 to register on the Ohio EMA website, https://ema.ohio.gov/ema_saferoom/ saferoom-concept.aspx.

The Ohio Safe Room Rebate Program will use a computerized random selection process to select applicants. A priority list of applicants will be created from the selected applicants. Chosen homeowners will be notified by email of their position on the priority list on or after April 5. Ohio EMA anticipates grant funding will become available this year and having a list of participants who meet program requirements will expedite the rebate process.

Funding for the rebate program is through a partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs. Safe rooms must meet FEMA requirements in FEMA publications 320 and 361, and cannot be constructed/installed prior to the rebate drawing and notification from Ohio EMA to proceed with construction. Ohio EMA plans to offer this rebate program on an annual basis. When and if HMA funding becomes available, the amount of funding will determine the number of rebates.

If, after visiting the Ohio EMA website, interested people have questions, they should call Dan Clevidence at 614-7993533.

Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) has introduced legislation, the Stop Penalizing Working Seniors Act, to expand access to health savings accounts (HSAs) and fix a technicality that prohibits individuals that are receiving Social Security benefits from contributing to their HSA accounts.

Latta originally introduced this legislation last Congress after constituents who had been affected by the issue reached out to the Congressman’s office. The bill was included in legislation passed by the House last year, but it was not voted on in the U.S. Senate.

Under current law, once an individual begins to collect Social Security benefits, both they and their spouse are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A. They are then disqualified from making any contribution to their HSA account. In the case of Latta’s constituents, one spouse was still working. They ended up having to keep their high-deductible health insurance plan while being prohibited from making contributions to their HSA. Latta’s legislation would remove the prohibition on contributions to an HSA if an individual is enrolled solely in Medicare Part A. Medicare Part A covers hospital care.

Health Savings Accounts allow individuals to make tax-free contributions and use the money for qualified medical expenses. In order to contribute to an HSA, an individual must be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan. The Employee Benefit Research Institute shows a steady growth of HSA enrollment, currently with the number of Americans with HSAs at over 21 million.

Young swimmers learn confidence, competence in water A group of area children have been learning to become “aquatic problem solvers,” gaining competence and confidence in the pool at Maumee Bay Lodge.

For the past five weeks, the youngsters were learning the Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) method, taught by certified instructor Kym Cragel.

The ISR method of clinically researched instruction emphasizes developmentally-appropriate skills training to ensure that a child is learning self-rescue skills and developing the competence required to enjoy the water.

Cragel has taught more than 250 children life-saving skills using the ISR method since becoming certified. She also has 20 years of experience as a traditional swim instructor, personal trainer and nutrition specialist, and has been designated

by Lucas Co. Developmental Disabilities as their “go to” swim instructor.

The Clay High School alumna also holds Bachelor’s of Education and Master of Sport Psychology degrees, which help her in working with children of all ages and abilities, she said.

ISR emphasizes developmentally-appropriate skills training to ensure that a child is learning self-rescue skills and de-

An integrated Parent Education Pro-

gram seeks to help parents and caretakers understand drowning prevention methods and safeguard their child’s aquatic environ-

ment.

Children as young as 6 months can participate in ISR lessons, which are held five days per week for an average of four to six weeks.

Infants 6-12 months old learn to hold their breath underwater, roll onto their back and float unassisted.

Children 1-6 years old learn the following sequence: how to hold their breath underwater; swim with their head down and eyes open; roll onto their back to float, rest, and breathe; and roll back over to resume swimming until they reach the side of the pool and can crawl out or be rescued by an adult.

“After hearing about ISR lessons from friends, we decided to look into it,” said Kelly Junge, of Oregon. “It is absolutely amazing to watch the progress from day one to day 25. To see how these babies learn this technique to save themselves is absolutely incredible.”

SWIM with Kym ISR lessons are offered at several locations throughout Northwest Ohio. The next session at Maumee Bay Lodge will be held in September.

To learn more about ISR lessons, visit SwimwithKym.com. More information is also available at Kym’s Facebook Page.

Counseling Corner

You don’t have to be lonely just because you are alone Valentine’s Day is the time of year is when greeting card companies, florists and candy makers want to convince us that we all have to be in loving, romantic relationships.

But if you happen to be on your own these days, whether by choice or circumstance, it can sometimes leave you feeling a bit blue if that’s not your situation.

The first part of the cure for the “nobody loves me” blues is to recognize that the images and propaganda that’s helping bring on such feelings aren’t really real.

The advertising business is founded on, and long experienced at, manipulating our feelings. While advertisers generally aren’t trying to make you feel sad because you’re not romantically involved, that just may be the result that comes from all the hype and

images they promote around now.

The second part of feeling better is to accept that you really aren’t alone. You have friends, work associates, and family.

While none of them might be a romantic relationship, they still are people who like you, who care about you and who are willing to spend time with you.

You can also feel more positive about not being in a relationship by simply learning to appreciate “you.” Take a look at yourself in the mirror each morning and take the time to tell yourself at least one good thing about yourself. Even better, make it several things. Think about ways you can enjoy your own company.

Maybe now is a good time to take up a new hobby or take on an educational program. Look for things that will make you feel good about yourself. Catch up on some of those things that you’ve been meaning

Use caution when using marijuana as a medicine

Accepting New Patients

By Mircea Handru, MBA Did you know that, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, after alcohol, marijuana is the most commonly used drug when driving?

And that driving under the influence of over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, marijuana, or other illegal drugs, is just as dangerous as drinking and driving?

A recent national survey by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) showed 22.5 percent of nighttime weekend drivers tested positive for illegal, prescription, or over-the-counter drugs that can impair driving. (Drug-Impaired Driving: A Guide for States, April 2017. NHTSA 2014 Drug-Impaired Driving Survey).

A good rule of thumb is, if you feel different, you drive different.

Driving while under the influence of any substance can alter perception, attention, coordination, reaction time and other abilities required for safe driving. These subtle mental impairments can have a serious effect on driving ability, even without the person stumbling or being uncoordinated.

So, someone can look okay, but it doesn’t mean they are okay.

Ohio’s new law allowing limited medical access to marijuana is clear – registered patients cannot drive while under the influence of marijuana. It is dangerous and illegal, and can result in an OVI. Be informed. Be safe.

Mircea Handru is executive director of the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot Counties.

to do but just never get around to.

The point is to focus on positive things, not sit around sulking because you’re alone. Perhaps you want to volunteer with a local organization. Or maybe just call up a friend and go share a movie together.

Being alone is simply a situation you may be in and one you can take action to change. Feeling lonely is different; it’s a state of mind and something you can control. But if being alone is making you feel seriously unhappy to the point of affecting your daily life, consider talking to a counseling professional who can help you move your life in a more positive direction.

Thanks to Bay Area Credit Union, Clay Cares Closet is one step closer to helping hungry students within the Oregon school district.

Bay Area Credit Union and its employee outreach committee, “Beyond Bay Area,” recently presented Clay Cares Closet with a check for $1,458 to help purchase a freezer and possibly a small refrigerator for the school-based food pantry.

Clay Cares Closet is the inspiration of Oregon educators Brandi Birr and Jennifer Kollarik. While commuting together one day, the pair were conversing about students coming to school hungry and their lack of attentiveness and focus. The teachers considered a way to engage school peers and the community to help provide food for the students to take home.

“Beyond Bay Area” committee member Cindy Krieger learned Birr and Kollarik had hopes of expanding the closet and being able to store both fresh and frozen food.

Krieger shared the teachers hopes with Bay Area Credit Union’s employees and a suggestion was made that the charitable portion of the credit union’s annual SkipA-Pay program should go to Clay Cares Closet for the freezer and small refrigerator.

Neighbors Calling Neighbors

ProMedica, Area Office on Aging launch program ProMedica and Area Office on Aging (AOoA) have teamed up to implement a new program that prevents social isolation and brings new social connections for seniors.

Social isolation can affect physical, mental and emotional health. As the aging process continues, social connections decrease and the older population is at risk of social isolation. This isolation is a health hazard that increases mortality in adults aged 55 and older.

Neighbors Calling Neighbors is a free

program consisting of weekly scheduled phone calls from trained AOoA volunteers to seniors’ homes. The goal of the program is to formulate friendships and prevent social isolation, specifically during the winter months when social isolation is at an increase.

To determine referrals for the program, seniors go through a screening process by their primary care office to determine the risk of social isolation.

“We know that some of our volunteers and seniors may develop a friendship

If this happens, we applaud them and will make arrangements for them to transition from a program relationship to a natural one that takes on a life of its own.” said Joe Jardine, clinical director for ProMedica Social Determinants of Health.

Alcohol in cold weather poses health hazard Downing a few drinks of alcohol during cold weather could create dangerous situations, says a Ball State University researcher.

Jagdish Khubchandani, a health science professor at Ball State, said alcohol consumption may give individuals a false sense of warmth.

“This is because alcohol dilates blood vessels increasing the blood flow to limbs and periphery of the body,” he said. “While this creates a sensation of warmth in the chest and face, it causes the body to pull heat from your extremities. Generally, in colder weather our peripheral blood vessels constrict to save heat and blood flow is reduced to limbs. And, while too much drinking may result in hypothermia, the effects of alcohol can be seen with just one drink.”

Khubchandani also notes that alcohol depresses the ability of the brain to properly function.

Even small doses of alcohol can slowdown reflexes and increase reaction time leading to accidents and injuries, he warns.

Khubchandani is also a co-author on an international study into alcohol consumption that found drinking is down around the globe. “Alcohol Use and Burden for 195 Countries and Territories, 1990–2016,” was a collaborative effort of more than 200 scientists across 100 countries.

Ohio State study:

Following heart health guidelines also reduces diabetes risk Lifestyle and health factors that are good for your heart can also prevent diabetes, according to a new study by researchers at The Ohio State University College of Medicine that published Jan. 16 in Diabetologia, the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.

Diabetes is a growing problem in the United States, with nearly a third of the population living with diabetes or prediabetes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Dr. Joshua J. Joseph, an endocrinologist and assistant professor at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, wants to bring those numbers down. He studies various ways to prevent diabetes. His latest work looked at how cardiovascular health can impact diabetes risk.

“This research adds to our collective understanding about how physicians can help their patients prevent a number of serious diseases, including heart disease, cancer and now diabetes,” said Dr. K. Craig Kent, dean of the College of Medicine.

The team at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, led by Joseph, assessed diabetes among 7,758 participants in the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study and used the American Heart Association’s “Life’s Simple 7” as a guide for measuring heart health among the group.

The “Life’s Simple 7” health factors

Tim Anderson exercises on an elliptical machine.

Getting at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week is one of seven lifestyle guidelines shown to reduce heart disease, cancer and, according to a new Ohio State study, diabetes.

(Photo courtesy of Ohio State Wexner Medical Center) and lifestyle behaviors that are associated with cardiovascular health are physical activity, diet, weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose and tobacco use.

Overall, the study participants who were in the recommended, ideal ranges for at least four of the seven factors had a 70 percent lower risk of developing

diabetes over the next 10 years.

“What’s interesting is when we compared people who had normal blood glucose and those who already had impaired blood glucose,” Joseph said.

“Those in normal levels who attained four or more guideline factors had an 80 percent lower risk of developing diabetes. Those

who were already diabetic or prediabetic and met four of the factors had no change in lowering their risk for diabetes.”

Joseph said this research proves using prevention strategies from the very beginning is key to helping Americans avoid diabetes.

“Healthy people need to work to stay healthy. Follow the guidelines.

Don’t proceed to high blood sugar and then worry about stopping diabetes. By that point, people need high-intensity interventions that focus on physical activity and diet to promote weight loss and, possibly, medications to lower the risk of diabetes,” Joseph said.

Community outreach is one way Joseph and his team put their research to practical use. They attend wellness walks, community days and other gatherings around central Ohio to help educate people about diabetes prevention and starting healthy habits.

“We don’t wait for people to come to us as patients. We’re very engaged in taking our work from the lab and applying it to our populations so we can help keep our communities healthy,” Joseph said.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases supported this research.

Genoa overcame injuries to secure state duals bid

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Whatever happened to Genoa’s wrestling team on Sunday could be a precursor to what the Comets accomplish next month at the state tournament at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus.

Coach Bob Bergman’s squad competed at the eight-team Division III State Dual Team Tournament quarterfinals at Ohio State’s St. John Arena Sunday. Genoa won the state duals last year, beating Massillon Tuslaw, 40-20, in the championship match, and the Comets went on to win the individual tournament last March.

Bergman said winning the state duals crown last year “gave us shot in the arm” for the rest of the season.

“Some of these teams, we’re going to see those individuals pop through to the individual tournament,” Bergman said. “It’s nice to be able to get to see teams from all over the state. We wrestle in pockets across the state, and here we get to see the toplevel teams the further we get in the (state dual) rounds. It’s a definite advantage.”

Genoa was the top seed in Division III and opened the tournament against eighthseeded Marion Pleasant. The winner faced the winner of Blanchester and Rootstown in the semifinals. Genoa did it’s homework before the meet began.

“We’re certainly looking stuff up and they are too, getting an idea where their strong points are,” Bergman said of Marion Pleasant. “There’s not a lot of movement in our lineup because we have a lot of state placers. Rootstown is forecast as the second best team in the state (behind Genoa). They return four state placers and we have six.

They’re very good.

“We’re looking at our quarter of the bracket, and Marion Pleasant has some individuals who can give us some fits. We have to take care of business. This will be a tougher go at it than last year. Just to get back is an honor and we reminded our guys of that. We’re going to give it our best shot, stay humble and take it one match at

Bergman added that the Comets have “improved a lot” since December. Genoa is 25-0 in dual matches this season, including winning the Northern Buckeye Conference Duals and duals tournaments

at Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic and Napoleon. The Comets won the Perrysburg Invitational, placed third out of 45 D-III teams at the Medina Invitational, and finished 39th out of 88 teams at the Walsh Ironman.

“We’re continuing to hit our stride,” Bergman said. “We’ve haven’t had to put our whole lineup on the mat with all 14 starters. We’ve had some injuries and sickness.”

Senior 132-pounder Julian Sanchez, a three-time state placer and state runner-up last season, injured his knee in the finals at Medina and missed more than a month of the season. Sanchez had a pin in 1:02 in Genoa’s 67-12 win over Swanton in the state duals Region 18 quarterfinals last weekend. He also had a pin in 1:18 in the Comets’ 61-16 win over Eastwood in the finals.

“He came back last weekend and looked great,” Bergman said.

Sophomore Devin D’Emilio (17-8), an NBC tournament runner-up last season, has also missed some time with a shoulder injury.

“We’ve had a lot of ebb and flow (in the lineup),” Bergman said. “Hopefully, we get all the weight classes filled this weekend.”

Bergman said he’s been pleased with the progress of senior Alex Duran at 220 pounds and senior Brian Martin at 195. Duran was 6-5 last season and is 30-9 this season.

“Alex is having a great year,” Bergman said. “He’s been with the program since biddy, and this is his first full season as a starter. He has turned a lot of heads and is coming into his own and hitting his stride at the right time. He’s wrestling the whole six minutes and making good decisions.”

Martin, in his first full season, had a 2514 record a year ago and is 29-6 this year.

“Brian has been the backbone of our upper weights as well,” Bergman said.

“He’s done a tremendous job and worked hard, and it’s nice to see him shine for us.”

The Comets have fared particularly well in the middle weights. Senior 138-pounder Dylan D’Emilio is 37-3 with a team-high 25 pins, two technical falls and four major decisions. The three-time state champion has scored a team-high 212.5 points. Junior 145-pounder Dustin Morgillo is second on the team in points (192.5) and is 35-3 with 22 pins, seven tech falls and two major decisions.

Hard work, dedication pays off for Lecki brothers

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com They may only be in high school, but Lake wrestlers Antonio and Cristian Lecki have already learned the value of dedication and hard work.

School was closed due to frigid temperatures on Jan. 30, and the Lecki brothers could have stayed home and slept or played video games all day. Instead, Antonio, a junior, and Cristian, a freshman, were at the FoxFire Wrestling Club honing their craft.

“We were there for two hours,” Antonio said. “We go to get a workout. We want to get better, me and my brother. We have sectionals and districts coming up in a few weeks and we want to get ready for that.”

Antonio has already enjoyed his share of success on the mat. He placed third at 113 pounds at last year’s Division III state tournament, and he is 26-2 with 16 pins after bumping up to 126 pounds this season.

And to think Antonio almost never got into wrestling.

“I really wanted to play football,” he said, “but my parents (Laura and Richard) wouldn’t let me because I was such a little kid. Back in those days, I was a lot smaller.

I was super small for my age, so football was out.”

Antonio said he substituted playing football by learning taekwondo when he was 6, “and now I’m a black belt.”

“In taekwondo there isn’t a lot of contact, and I wanted to try something else,” Antonio said. “One of my buddies suggested trying wrestling, so I just started going to a club they had in East Toledo. I was hooked right away. I like how it was me and no one else. If I lost, it was on me and I didn’t have anyone to blame.”

For Cristian, watching Antonio was all the motivation he needed to take up wrestling.

“My brother started wrestling because his friend was wrestling,” Cristian said, “and I started wrestling because my brother was wrestling. It was fun. When you’re younger, it’s just about having fun.”

Cristian is off to a great start to his

by Lee Welch/ FamilyPhotoGroup. com) high school career. He has a 26-5 record with 12 pins and was the 113-pound champion at the 21-team Sally George Memorial Invitational on Jan. 26 at Marion Pleasant High School. Antonio placed second at 126 pounds.

“I had a first-round bye and I only wrestled three matches,” Cristian said. “The last match was the hardest. It doesn’t matter if you wrestle someone who is a senior. I wrestled two seniors and that was a pretty big deal. I’m doing pretty good. I’m being more aggressive and shooting a lot more.”

Lake coach Tom Jackson likes what he’s seen from the Lecki brothers this season.

“Tony does it all,” Jackson said. “He’s real good on his feet, he’s good at takedowns and he’s a good technician. He’s done more pinning this year and he’s well rounded.

He is up two weight classes now and he’s handled it well. Kids are a little stronger at 126, and he’s not what I consider to be a big 126-pounder. He doesn’t have to cut a lot of

weight. He’s a strong wrestler, and smart.”

Jackson said Cristian has a quieter demeanor than Antonio, but they also have a lot in common.

“Cristian has been at it a long time,” Jackson said. “Both of them wrestled in the East Toledo program when they were in elementary school, and they’re pretty open to different things and new ideas. Cristian is similar to Tony in that he’s real good on his feet and he’s a good mat wrestler. He’s pretty well-rounded.”

Jackson added that the Flyers have a “very competitive practice room,” but Antonio and Cristian rarely match up as drill partners. Their paths do cross from time to time, however.

“Cristian gives him everything he wants,” Jackson said. “We’re pretty solid in the first five weight classes and they’re fortifying that end of our lineup.”

Antonio, who is less than two years older than his brother, said he and Cristian

are competitive at everything.

“We’re close,” Antonio said. “We beat each other up all the time. Anything you can think of, we want to be better than the other person. Out of everyone I wrestle, he’s one of my toughest opponents. He knows everything about me, my wrestling style, and I know everything about his wrestling style. It’s always tough wrestling him. I was surprised how well he’s doing this year.”

The Lecki brothers are focused on improving each match leading up to the sectional tournament, then advancing one match at a time in the postseason. Cristian’s goal is to make it to the state tournament, while Antonio has loftier goals.

“I don’t want to get get too far ahead of myself,” he said. “The goal of every wrestler should be to be a state champion, but you have to take it one match — one week — at a time to get better. That’s your main goal and I’ve been trying to do that and not worry about who I’m going to wrestle.”

Wildcats beginning to hit their stride in the stretch run

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com When Woodmore girls basketball hit a midseason funk, it was unknown how the team would respond.

Needless to say, the Wildcats have answered the call and are playing at a high level, having won four consecutive games.

Following a 38-35 victory over Elmwood on December 22, Woodmore was sitting pretty at 7-2 and 4-2 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. But the Wildcats lost four of their next five games, including a three-point loss to Eastwood (54-51) and an overtime defeat at the hands of HopewellLoudon (58-56).

Since then, Woodmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four straight wins have come in both dramatic and convincing fashion, highlighted by road wins over Lake (67-61) and Oak Harbor (50-49), the latter of which came in overtime.

The win over the Flyers saw Nora LaMunyon score 27 points and Katie Brugger added 14 points. In the victory over the Rockets, Brugger hit a 3-pointer with 10 seconds to play to win the game and Jordan Nighswander helped pace the attack, finishing with 16 points and 19 rebounds.

Those two wins were sandwiched around a 60-47 victory over Fostoria, a game that saw LaMunyon score 19 points, Brooke Allen finish with 16 points and Nighswander chip in with 11. More recently, the Wildcats had five players score in double figures and defeated Fremont St. Joseph (66-47) behind 17 points from LaMunyon and 14 from Allen.

Another impressive victory was the 59-48 win against Otsego earlier in the season. Nighswander led all scorers with 17 points and LaMunyon chipped in with 12 to help defeat the Knights.

Currently, Woodmore is 12-6 and 6-5 in the Northern Buckeye Conference with an outside shot of capturing the league title, but Rossford (12-6, 8-3) and Eastwood (15-3, 8-3) have to both lose two games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing our best basketball, slowly but surely weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re progressing. We started off strong and then we

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos. smugmug. com) had a layoff around Christmas and came out flat (after that),â&#x20AC;? said Woodmore coach Kyle Clair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last four to five games, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started to pick it up. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve challenged (the players) at practice to be ready to play.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be ready to play and be sharp this time of the year. With the way our league is going, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still right there in the mix. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a good spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely picked it up where we have multiple players in double figures.

Some nights its more perimeter oriented â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doubling on Brooke and Jordan and we have to shoot well from the outside. Sometimes they spread us out and we can go to Brooke and Jordan in (the post). We have multiple skill sets with these kids and we have to get them to believe in themselves and perform every night.â&#x20AC;?

It would be an understatement to say the Wildcats have depth. The starting unit consists of 5-foot-7 guard Ava Beam,

Brugger, a 5-7 guard, LaMunyon, a 5-8 guard, Nighswander, a 5-10 forward/post, and Allen, a 6-0 post. The bench, meanwhile, features six players, including five guards (Claire Rothert, Greta Bauder, Paige Schmeltz, Macie Wellons and Makayla Throop) and one forward (Sidney Gillig).

Allen leads the team in scoring with 11.6 points and also averages 7.2 rebounds.

LaMunyon averages 11.4 points and 4.1 rebounds and Nighswander nearly averages a double-double (9.5 pts., 9.9 reb.).

Brugger, meanwhile, is the best shooter on the team and puts up 8.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.

LaMunyon says there is a reason for the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think at practice we changed our mentality and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on the mental aspects of our game and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forced us to push ourselves harder and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing in games,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we have a really deep bench. We can always count on anyone coming in to perform that night. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not scoring that night, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (still) playing defense.

Everybody plays really good defense, we work really well together.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive offensive numbers, defense is the calling card for Clairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to allow 41 to 42 points. If we do that, it will give us a decent chance to win,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use the full-court press sometimes â&#x20AC;&#x201D;we base it on how much weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving up (versus) how much weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re defensive-minded. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our No. 1 priority.â&#x20AC;?

LaMunyon says the defense sets the tone for the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a defensive-minded team,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defense fuels our offense.

When we start with our defense, it helps our offense.â&#x20AC;?

This is Clairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th season coaching at his alma mater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program, (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important) to get the community support and watch the kids do their thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want the kids that are here to have success â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you want to see the kids do well and cut down the net. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the kids. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fortunate and blessed to be here.â&#x20AC;?

Krugh, Antonacci, relay team inducted into Lake Hall Tim Krugh, Shelby Antonacci and the track relay team consisting of Katy Curry, Nicole Taylor, Chrissy Jackson and Erin Abbey were inducted into the Lake Athletic Hall of Fame at the boys basketball game versus Woodmore on February 1.

In 1996 and 1997, the relay team was league champions in the 4x100 and 4x200 meter relays. They were district champions in 1997 and took third at districts in 1996, regional runners-up in 1997 and took fourth in 1996, and placed at state twice, taking third in 1997 and fourth in 1996.

The foursome broke two school records in 1997 with a time of 50.03 in the 4x100 and 1:48.1 in the 4x200.

Antonacci, a 2013 graduate, broke six school records in soccer, including most assists and goals for a game, season and career.

Antonacci had 17 goals and 17 assists as a freshman and followed with 14 goals and 12 assists as a sophomore. As a junior she scored 25 goals with eight assists, and she had 21 goals and 11 assists as a senior.

She has more career goals (77) and assists (48) than anyone in Lake history and led the Flyers to four conference titles.

“Shelby is the type of player any coach should want on their team,” then-Lake coach Kevin Lanning told The Press. “Not only because of her skill level and how she can take over any game, but because of the type of teammate she is. She really is all about the team and doing what needs to be done to make sure the team succeeds.

She had no problem helping her teammates during practice.”

The Flyers finished 14-3 and won the NBC title with a 10-0 record her senior season. In the process, Antonacci was named to the All-Ohio second team for the third straight year. Antonacci was a four-time first team all-league selection, three-time all-district selection, and three-time league player of the year selection. She earned five varsity letters, including four in soccer and one in basketball.

Tim Krugh, a 1971 graduate, was inducted for being an “outstanding citizen,” but he also earned seven varsity letters as a high school athlete, including three in football, where he was a first team all-league selection. He also had three letters in track

He is being honored for his 25 years of service to Lake Schools, having served as a school board member since 2005 and board president since 2008. He has been a Flyer Club member since 2000, football and basketball public address announcer since 1994 and developed the recent Distinguished Alumni Award.

The hall of fame committee cites that Krugh has been “actively involved in many school committees, a long time supporter of Lake athletics and Lake Local Schools at many different functions, (is) always willing to give when a need is present, and (that) we are forever grateful for his tireless support — a true Flyer.” (— includes information from a Press file story written by Mark Griffin)

Andrews to coach at Lake Lake Local Schools has announced the selection of Josh Andrews as its next head football coach.

Andrews has been a varsity assistant coach the past six years under former head coach Mark Emans. Coach Andrews is a 2001 graduate of Wauseon High School,

where he played for Coach Emans.

Andrews went on to play college football at Tri-State University in Indiana where he earned his bachelor’s degree in education. Later, Andrews received his master’s degree in administration from Bowling Green State University.

Prior to coming to Lake Schools in 2013, Andrews was employed at Swanton Schools as a teacher and assistant coach for eight years. Andrews has been an assistant principal at Lake High School and Lake Middle School the past three years.

“We are excited and look forward to the young dynamic that Josh will bring to our established football program. His connections to our students and staff are an asset along with his football background and experiences under Coach Mark Emans,” said a statement released by Athletic Director Dave Shaffer.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Valentine’s Day The history of Valentine’s Day is clouded in myth and legend. There are at least three people named Valentine who are mentioned in early church documents, all of whom are thought to have been martyred. One was a priest who supposedly married people despite the ban on marriage by the Emperor Claudius. (This ban on marriage was in effect because Claudius believed that single men made better soldiers.) In one of those legends about St. Valentine, we are told that Valentine refused to renounce Christ before Emperor Claudius in the year 280 AD and was thus, sentenced to death. However, before being executed, St. Valentine supposedly restored the sight and

hearing of the jailer’s daughter. And, some accounts even tell of St. Valentine sending a letter to the jailer’s daughter signed, “from your Valentine,” and this story is sometimes used to explain the custom of sending loveinspired cards on this day. Whatever the truth about St. Valentine, there is little doubt that love triumphs over all.

Love of God, gave countless martyrs the faith to accept their deaths with equanimity. Love also gives people who are wronged, the power to forgive their oppressors. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly scorned. R.S.V. Song of Solomon 8:7

From, Your loving family

They Say There is a Reason They say there is a reason, They say time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel, For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

10 years too long!

Sadly missed never forgotten!

Your Family
