Lake Twp., Walbridge

Fight looms over Drouillard maintenance A disagreement between Lake Township and the Village of Walbridge over which entity is responsible for maintaining a stretch of Drouillard Road may be decided in court.

The township has filed a complaint in Wood County Common Pleas Court, asking for a declatory judgment to force the village to meet obligations set in a 1977 agreement that was part of an annexation by the village of township land adjacent to Drouillard.

The township is claiming the agreement binds the village to maintain Drouillard from the village limits south to where the road curves toward Cummings Road. In exchange, the township agreed not to oppose the annexation of property that included land where the Stanley rail yard is located.

The disagreement came to a head recently when the township submitted an invoice for $116.31 to the village for repairing a pothole in the northbound lane of Drouillard, south of Ayers Road. The village has refused to reimburse the township.

An email from the township road department dated Jan. 4, 2019 to Mark

Hummer, township administrator, says the department was getting phone calls about the pothole. Hummer, in turn, forwarded the message to Walbridge mayor Ed Kolanko, who responded the “referenced pothole” was in the jurisdiction of the township and directed further calls to the village solicitor, Brian Ballenger.

In addition, the township claims it incurred $367 in labor costs and $208 for salt to remove snow between Jan. 12 and 31 of this year.

ship trustees, James Bishop, village administrator, argues the signers of the 1977 agreement were not authorized to hold the jurisdictions to it in perpetuity. He also contends the village has been maintaining Luckey Road, which sits west of Stanley yard, even though village officials consider it the responsibility of the township.

Bishop ends the letter by requesting township and village officials meet to “chart-out a plan for maintaining these roadways for 2017 and beyond.”

In response, Philip Dombey, township solicitor, wrote to Bishop that the rule of perpetuities has “no bearing on this type of agreement between government bodies” and declined a meeting until Bishop could cite case law or statute that would validate the village position.

In April 2018, the village informed the township that the village was going to cease maintaining Drouillard effective June 1 of that year.

“This decision is supported by legal boundaries, taxing and police jurisdictions and the significant demographic changes in Lake Township,” a letter from Bishop to Dombey says.

According to testimony at the 1977 annexation hearing before the county commissioners, the township would be losing

Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz gave a preview of this Thursday’s State of the City address when he spoke to East Toledo Club members last week.

Kapszukiewicz will deliver the 2019 State of the City Address at Waite High School, 301 Morrison Dr., at 5 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 28. He spoke to the East Toledo Club this past Thursday afternoon at the East Toledo Family Center Senior Center.

Mayor Kapszukiewicz says his state of the city address will highlight accomplishments of the past year and his vision and initiatives for 2019 and beyond. The mayor says he “is committed to fiscally-responsible policies to enhance the efficiency and transparency of city operations.” He also “strives to increase the education, income, and health of all Toledoans.”

Kapszukiewicz made it clear to the East Toledo Club that for anything he touts as positive news, the city faces serious issues and he and council still have work to do.

East Toledo Club members and seniors in attendance reminded him of those problems during a question and answer session, bringing to light blighted neighborhoods, pothole-filled streets, lack of policing in the streets, failures to enforce property codes, and more.

Kapszukiewicz acknowledged that “for a long time the city has looked the other way on code enforcement” and promised that is going to change.

Kapszukiewicz touted that the city has resurfaced more miles of roads than it has ever done in the past 20 years, but warned that “engineers say we need to triple what we did last year resurfacing roads just to keep at the ‘water level,” acknowledging that Toledo’s roads are tough to drive because of potholes.

He also noted that the police force has grown for the first time in 11 years, adding a net gain of 25 officers. That includes 80 who graduated from the police academy minus retirees.

Kapszukiewicz gives preview Continued from front page

He touted an $8.5 million budget surplus in the budget, explaining that the “economy is stronger than we anticipated, but a big part of that was good old-fashioned belt-tightening budgeting.” He said the city spent $2.5 million less than budgeted.

“Without being boastful, there aren’t too many governments that can say that,” Kapszukiewicz said. “So, I can make the case that we are providing services better than we have in a long time. There is certainly more energy in some parts of the city, including the core of the city, than there has been in a long time.

“And, we sure as heck have been more fiscally accountable and responsible than we have been — I don’t care what you say.

There is no doubt of that. The budget we inherited a couple years ago versus where we are now is night and day.”

He said the city now has a $23 million rainy day fund but still has the lowest bond rating of any major city in Ohio and one-third of its residents are still living in

Drouillard Continued from front page about $1,900 annually in property taxes and the village was bolstering its income tax base with a net gain of about 200 railroad employees when the property became part of the village.

“That the Village does hereby agree to maintain, repair and improve Drouillard Road between the Southern boundary of the incorporated limits of the Village of Walbridge and the South Section line of Section 16 of Lake Township. That the Village will at its own expense make the necessary repairs and maintenance to preserve the condition of the highway, and will service said highway in regard to snow removal etc.” the agreement says.

The case has been assigned to Judge Matthew Reger.

poverty.

In addition, crime rates are down for larceny, burglary, breaking and entering and most other categories except for violent crime and crime involving guns, which he says has never been higher.

Creative partnerships He added that the city plans to increase quadruple funding for parks and recreation, adding that a “successful city spends about four percent of its budget on recreation” while Toledo is currently spending one-half of one percent. He added there will be other notable changes in parks and recreation programs, and the city is looking to get creative with partnerships.

“I think you are going to see this community really step up when it comes to parks and rec programs over the next yearand-a-half,” Kapszukiewicz said.

One partnership includes the Metroparks of the Toledo Area, who he says currently have an option on Ravine Parks I and II. He says the Metroparks is studying whether to incorporate the two city parks into its plan to create a “Green Necklace” along the Maumee River and Lake Erie shoreline. Part of that Green Necklace includes the new Metropark to be constructed at the Marina District, which has just been named the Glass City Metropark.

“The most exciting development project that Toledo has seen in 30 to 40 years is happening in East Toledo,” Kapszukiewicz said. “The Marina District Metropark that is essentially going to go from the Craig Bridge to the Martin Luther King Bridge is a $70 million investment that doesn’t always happen to any neighborhood in Toledo.

“You never think about it in these terms, but when they are done with that, it will have turned Front Street into riverfront property because everything that had been in its way is going to be gone. So, some of the most attractive, valuable parcels of land in our city are going to be running along the heart of East Toledo,” Kapszukiewicz continued.

“If you can imagine the Garfield neighborhood, you can almost draw what’s called

Doors for the state of the city will open at 4:30 p.m. and the speech begins at 5 p.m.

The mayor says he is especially pleased to invite all to the historic Waite High School, in “one of Toledo’s great neighborhoods.”

Ducks Unlimited

Acreage enhanced by projects in 2018

By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Restoration projects at area marshes and a refuge figured prominently in the list of improvements to natural areas that Ducks Unlimited and partner organizations completed last year.

Ducks Unlimited said it and several partners protected, enhanced or restored 1,509 acres of wetland habitat across 17 Ohio project sites in 2018.

A total of $3.75 million was invested in the projects by Ducks Unlimited. Partners included the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Western Reserve Land Conservancy, Metroparks Toledo, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Ottawa Soil & Water Conservation District and corporate partners such as Energy Transfer and major donors.

Over the last 30 years, Ducks Unlimited has enhanced nearly 91,000 wetland acres across the state, investing $34.8 million into wetland habitats.

“Ohio’s wetlands play a significant role for Great Lakes and continental waterfowl,” said Russ Terry, Ducks Unlimited regional biologist in Ohio. “But our wetlands are also crucial for water quality for drinking and recreation. Ohio has lost 90 percent of its wetlands, which help filter rainwater before it enters the Great Lakes.

The more wetlands we can put back on the landscape, the better for ducks and residents.”

Highlights from 2018 include: • Howard Marsh, Toledo – Ducks Unlimited, Metroparks of the Toledo Area, Ohio Division of Wildlife and NOAA created Howard Marsh, MTA’s newest metropark.

Since 2013, the partners have worked to restore the 1,000- acre former agricultural land back to wetlands and other habitat to

benefit ducks, other fish and wildlife, and provide recreational opportunities. Ducks Unlimited engineered the project.

• Mercer Wildlife Area, Mercer County – Ducks Unlimited partnered with ODOW and Pheasants Forever to restore two emergent wetlands totaling 36 acres at Mercer Wildlife Area along the south shore of Grand Lake St. Marys.

• Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, Ottawa County – To improve the Great Lakes region’s ability to support waterfowl and people, Ducks Unlimited purchased two farms totaling nearly 130 acres and donated them to the USFWS for inclusion into Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Ducks Unlimited and USFWS are now restoring these properties to wetlands and uplands.

Walbridge Police uniform policy approved

By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com An ordinance requiring Walbridge police officers to reimburse the department for uniform and training/testing costs if they voluntarily resign within two years of being hired has been approved by village council.

The ordinance requires an officer who voluntarily leaves the department within a year to reimburse the department for all of the initial hiring and uniform costs. If the officer leaves between 13 months and two years of the hire date a reimbursement of half the costs is imposed.

Mayor Ed Kolanko said Thursday said the policy applies only to full-time officers

and is designed to off-set costs for items such as Kevlar vests that have to be measured and fitted for each officer.

“They’re very nice state-of-the-art vests and are very expensive and have to be upgraded after so many years,” he said.

“It’s not like we can take the vests and just give them to somebody else. Whether it’s our department or any other department there is a significant investment that goes into training, uniforms and related expenses. We want to make sure we’re protecting our taxpayers.”

The ordinance sets a cap of $3,000 for uniform related costs and $2,000 for testing and other hiring related costs.

The ordinance doesn’t cover officers’ firearms, which are returned to the village.

Former mayor pleads guilty Former Put-In-Bay mayor Bernard “Mack” McCann has pleaded guilty to two counts of Conflict of Interest in a Public Contract, misdemeanors of the first degree, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said.

McCann, 82, agreed on Feb. 13 to step down from his position as mayor as part of the plea agreement.

“We can’t have community leaders who prioritize their own interests above those of the public,” Yost said. “Former Mayor McCann let power get to his head, choosing to use his position for the betterment of his own interests. His poor decisions have cost him his job, as well as the trust of the citizens who elected him to lead.”

The former mayor used his public position to secure waterline project contracts for a business associate. The waterline

project also benefited several members of McCann’s family.

Two of his children, Melinda McCann Myers, the former president of Put-in-Bay Village Council, and Councilman Bernard Michael McCann also pleaded guilty to two counts each of Conflict of Interest in a Public Contract.

The charges stem from a joint criminal investigation conducted by the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and the Ohio Ethics Commission. The case was prosecuted jointly by the Ottawa County Prosecutor and the Ohio Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Section.

McCann is scheduled to be sentenced in Ottawa County Municipal Court on Friday, March 29 at 2 p.m.

Wood County Health Partners will present updates to local health trends, along with what partner agencies will do to help improve them over the next several years, at a public release of Wood County’s Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan.

The event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon on Thursday, March 7 at Wood County Educational Service Center, 1867 Research Drive, Bowling Green.

The Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio, which helped create Wood County’s Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan, will present information about both documents, which are created every three years. They are funded jointly by Wood County Hospital and Wood County Health Department.

The Community Health Assessment surveyed residents to gauge the overall health status of people in Wood County in areas like physical health, mental health, drug and alcohol use, nutrition and physical activity.

Wood County Health Partners, a diverse group of agencies and organizations, used the data as a guide to create community-wide action steps to positively influence some of the trends identified in the assessment.

Both documents are available on the Reports and Publications page of Wood County Health Department’s website.

They can be accessed at http:// woodcountyhealth.org/Reports/ reportsandpubs.html.

Paper copies will be available at the March 7 event.

Non-sports activities Increasingly, communities like Oregon are offering a better variety of recreation opportunities to the public that do not involve sports.

“I’ve been the program director for 15 years,” said Borton. “Last June, I was hired as commissioner. That was one of my first charges along with my new staff – to keep our traditional sports programs moving and thriving – but also to start adding some programming for individuals who aren’t interested in team sports. So we have started some arts programs for both adults and kids. We have started some fitness classes, like yoga and fitness boot camps.

And we’re adding some facilities to help with some of that as well. I think there is a push in some municipalities and cities to try and offer some healthy alternatives, lifestyle choices and opportunities to the public. This is one of the things we’re hoping to do with the fitness court. Obviously, we’ve had our bike trail for the last several

years. But we’re trying to enhance that a little bit so people can ride their bike out to the complex, get a total body workout, and keep riding their bikes.”

The complex includes eight baseball/ softball game fields, four baseball practice fields, 10 soccer fields of various sizes, and four flag football fields. A bike path cuts through the whole complex. There are also two playground facilities in two different locations.

“Last year, Clay High School held a cross country meet around the complex. So we’re starting to look at more 5k events as well,” he said. “And we recently received a $7,000 grant for lacrosse equipment. We basically got enough equipment for 20 players. So a lacrosse program will be our next sport to get started in the next few months.

We don’t need to have a separate lacrosse field. We can just paint a field on our soccer complex. We have 20 acres of grass area out there, so we can rearrange some fields to make room to put a lacrosse field out there.”

More arts programs are also planned in the future, he added.

Clinic schedule The Ottawa County Health Department has released the clinic schedule for Feb. 25-March 1. Unless otherwise stated, all clinics are held at the health department, 1856 E. Perry St., Port Clinton.

versus using it only as a sports facility, according to Borton.

“We’re just hoping to provide a feature where people can come out even when there are no baseball or softball games scheduled. They can use the complex more like a park. We’re trying to make it into a recreational opportunity for everyone, not just for sports.”

“Basically, it’s a concrete pad with a dip in it with drains. There’s no standing water,” said Borton. “It’s not on all the time, but there’s a button you can push, and it will cycle through, with different water features. Some are just different sprays coming out of the ground. Some are a little higher off the ground. It’s a place to cool off. Both children and adults can enjoy it.”

It will be located in an old playground area, he said.

“We had an old playground area that was time to retire. So we took that out.

We’ll put the splashpad in. We’ll look at replacing the playground area a little bit further down the road in the future.”

A fitness court will be installed in the Coontz Recreation Complex on Seaman Road in June, according to Tom Borton, the city’s recreation commissioner.

Oregon City Council recently approved the purchase of the fitness court for $92,950 from National Fitness Campaign LLC, of San Francisco.

The fitness court is a comprehensive outdoor circuit training system that supports 28 simultaneous users on 30 separate pieces of equipment. The fitness court provides seven minute training modules for adults of all ages and fitness levels. The system is integrated with a sports floor to simulate an indoor gym.

Borton said the fitness court would provide fitness opportunities to the public.

It includes a non-slip court, so it could be used even in the winter months.

“It will be open at any time,” said Borton. It will be located north of baseball diamond three and four just off the bike path.

“So people could bike in and kind of work out right there. Or there’s parking close by, too, if they want to just drive in and leave,” he said.

The fitness court is supported by National Campaign Resources, a digital ecosystem that includes a mobile app, the campaign’s social media support team, promotional materials and programming to assist public agencies.

“People can download the app. So if you’re a beginner, the app can show you what workouts to go through,” he said.

“There will be equipment attached there, but you will basically use your own body weight. So you’re not changing the weights out to get 50 pounds instead of 100 pounds. You just use your own bodyweight like dips and pull-ups and different maneuvers. Again, the app will teach people how to do that,” he said. “If you want

a workout in seven minutes, the app will show you how. If you want to do more than that, you can. We’re probably going to offer classes on how to use it. But it will always be open. There will be no charge to use it,” he said.

The program includes a $30,000 grant, which is deducted from the funds required for the fitness court and National Campaign Resources from sponsors of the National Fitness Campaign.

Commisioners approved

Glass City Metropark officially named The Metroparks of the Toledo Area’s board of park commissioners approved names for new parks in North and East Toledo, both of which are expected to be under construction in the next few months.

“We name things we care about,” said Board President Scott J. Savage, adding that the board and staff gave careful consideration to both designations.

Glass City Metropark The future Metropark on the east side of the Maumee River, across from downtown Toledo, will share the City of Toledo’s unofficial nickname, the Glass City, a title that is as relevant now as it was more than 100 years ago.

The name refers to the city’s history, art and architecture as well as the industries for which it became known as the Glass Capital of the World.

“We have a policy for naming our parks, and that policy guides our decision making,” Mr. Savage said. “But it does not lead our hearts. What leads us is a vision for our future and a respect for our heritage.

“The landmark known as Glass City Metropark is the result of months of input and discussion, and transcends any possible division a name might invoke.”

In choosing a name, the board wanted to represent both the east side and downtown, uniting them as one city.

Toledo is still known as the Glass Capital. Glass manufacturing began here in the 1880s, and the region remains the home of companies who manufacture glass or trace their roots to the industry.

The Toledo Museum of Art has one of the most important glass collections in the world, and was the birthplace of the Studio Glass Movement in the 1960s.

And the view from the future Metropark on the east bank of the Maumee River is a city skyline dominated by glass buildings, some of which were built by companies rooted in the glass industry.

“When this park and future waterfront revitalization garners national attention, its name will point back to our region, further bolstering local pride in our riverfront and Metropark system,” Savage said.

The first phase of construction at Glass

City is expected to be completed this year.

Toledo Metroparks originally purchased 70 acres of the property from ProMedica and hired SmithGroupJJR to develop a master plan.

The park will be the sixth Metropark on the Maumee River. All of the river parks and other sites along Ohio’s 108-mile stretch of the Maumee River are part of the newly-designated Ohio Water Trail.

Manhattan Marsh Preserve A new park planned for the North River neighborhood is already known by the name Manhattan Marsh, which incorporates the historical name of the area, the Village of Manhattan, as well as the dominant natural feature, a marsh.

For as long as Metroparks has had an interest in the property, it has been referred to by that name.

The word “Preserve” has been added to the name to represent the property’s future: Metroparks has an environmental covenant – a permanent, binding agreement – that will allow the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Ohio EPA the ability to enforce restrictions on future use of the property to ensure that it will always be maintained as a natural area preserve with limited passive recreational use.

Savage noted that when Manhattan Marsh opens, later this year or early next year, it will fulfill Metroparks pledge to the community to place a park within five miles of every resident of Lucas County.

Lecture series Five parks or future parks will be the focus of a weekly Sunday lecture series in March from 2:30 to 3:30 each week in Macomber Lodge at Pearson Metropark, 4701 Navarre Avenue, Oregon. Each week, a different Metroparks will be featured.

Admission is free.

Talks are March 3, Manhattan Marsh by Kelly Milewski; March 10, Middlegrounds

by Jennifer Elsworth, March 17, Howard Marsh by Denis Franklin, March 24, pearson Metropark by Mary and Terry Breymaier, and March 31, the Toledo Waterfront Project by Scott Carpenter.

Milk was in abundance and regular gasoline was $1.08 a gallon when the Sterling convenience store and station moved into the remodeled East Toledo Martin’s Gulf Station on the southeast Historical Society corner of Starr and Wheeling in 1985.

The store was enlarged in 2004, and by Larry Michaels the business was sold to Circle K in 2007. Pictured with Sterlina is Ron Mauter and daughters Alison (left) and Andrea.

The Press Poll Do you think the mainstream media jumped to conclusions on the Smollett hoax?

Yes, they should have waited until all the facts were presented.

No, it was a serious issue that needed to be focused on.

Cindy Fisher Northwood “Youthfulness. There is a lot of longevity in my family. I just retired last week and no one could believe I was old enough to retire. I feel lucky to be able to keep up with my 89 year old Mom. She’s unbelievable for her age.”

Kayla Munson Northwood “A pretty smile. Both of my parents are beautiful. They have great smiles. I got that from them.”

Anthony Arzuaga Toledo “Commitment. My Dad’s heavy on commitment. Staying with the job you have.

Don’t call off work.

Go to every practice.

Keep all plans you make.”

Keith Overholt Genoa “I can do anything with my hands if I put my mind to it. I’m a jack of all trades. I got that from my father.”

Jackie Claus Elmore “Empathy. I believe I inherited it from my mother. I’m glad that I can think of other people instead of only thinking of myself.

My mom always puts every body else ſrst.”

Improving your emotional intelligence has many benefits How well do you get along with others?

How effective are you at dealing with your own emotions? The ability to deal with your emotions, as well as the emotions of others is known as emotional intelligence.

Having a higher emotional intelligence boosts your effectiveness in accomplishing your goals.

Pay attention to your emotions as well as being sensitive to how other people are feeling. Not being aware of how you are feeling, or what’s going on around you, makes it nearly impossible to function effectively in society. Being labeled as an insensitive boor is something you don’t need.

There are valuable strategies you can use if you struggle with your own emotions, or those of others. Start with being in touch with how you are feeling and why.

You want to be able to identify your exact emotional state and cause. If you are happy, what are you happy about? If you are sad, what is the cause?

By understanding your emotions, along with why you are feeling that way, you are able to make behavioral adjustments to enhance positive feelings, while

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden eliminating activities which generate negative responses. Those who are constantly upbeat are proactive about their emotions.

They make good things happen rather than wondering why they are feeling bad.

Know what really gets under your skin and sets you off. Understanding your emotional triggers enables you to be prepared to not overreact when you are faced with them. Visualize people engaging in the behavior which really annoys you. Then visualize yourself remaining calm and collected.

Looking at situations from another person’s perspective helps deflect direct confrontation. It provides you with a different perspective, which gives insight into where the other person is coming from. This strategy helps find workable solutions instead

of exacerbating conflict.

Don’t make assumptions about how other people are feeling. Ask them directly, and then listen carefully to what they tell you. Believe what they say and give them the benefit of the doubt. This assists you in determining the best way of dealing with someone.

Don’t sit in judgment of others. Everyone has their own unique experiences, feelings, and perspectives. It’s very difficult to fully understand what another individual is going through. So, always be kind and considerate, treating others with respect.

Empathize with other people, rather than getting overly emotionally involved.

You don’t want to get dragged down by their problems. If you do, your emotional well-being will be overwhelmed by whatever they are experiencing.

Seek out opportunities to interact with people you disagree with. Practice having conversations without arguing. Explore why they feel the way they do. Ask questions instead of making statements. Your emotional intelligence will be enhanced as you practice having discussions with peo-

Look at war from a different perspective

By Mike Ferner Newspapers on the other side of the world are calling it “the biggest U.S. cinema event of all time.”

Critical acclaim has poured in from all corners for the BBC production They Shall Not Grow Old, a technical and emotional masterpiece on the First World War — the war Woodrow Wilson said would “make the world safe for democracy.”

The way the film brings old footage, and therefore the soldiers, to life is almost magical and powerfully moving. But because of how director Peter Jackson defined his film, a critical element is virtually invisible: the wounded.

Jackson distilled the stories of 120 veterans who spoke on some 600 hours of BBC audio tape done in the 1960s and ‘70s. His goal was to have “120 men telling a single story…what it was like being a British soldier on the Western Front.” He artfully presents it, using no narration other than the archive of BBC interviews.

But since dead men tell no tales, nor do the severely wounded often live into their 70s and 80s, the film narrows its focus to the camaraderie and adventures of young men growing up with shared experiences of tinned rations, trench life, and rats. The dead flit across the screen in graphic but limited numbers of colorized photos of corpses.

The wounded receive mute witness with brief footage of gas attacks, and a classic photo of seven British troops carrying one wounded comrade through the kneedeep mud of Passchendaele.

Jackson’s team brilliantly turned herky-jerky, silent, monochrome youths into breathing, talking, living color, with compelling stories. But because of his cinematic goal, this assured award-winner misses the depth of feeling and realism it could have projected by giving similar treatment to the agony of the wounded.

Among the neglected images that failed

Guest Editorial to benefit from Jackson’s alchemy is footage of shell-shock victims filmed at Britain’s Netley Hospital in 1917. The footage would have retained its halting, jerking properties not from erratic frame speeds, but because the young men were tormented with nerve damage.

Nor did Jackson include footage of amputee veterans exiting Queen Mary’s Workshop, dozen upon dozen upon dozen, hobbling in rapid succession.

He might’ve added one or two photos from New Zealand doctor Major Harold Gillies’ groundbreaking book, Plastic Surgery of the Face, showing how red-hot shrapnel can carve bone and muscle into monstrous forms.

My own experiences revealed the side of war that Jackson left out.

Ever since nursing GIs returning from Vietnam, I’ve firmly believed that no member of Congress should be allowed to vote on war funding until working for a month in the back ward of a VA hospital.

Let them vote only after emptying urine bags, turning sallow bodies, and daubing the bed sores of formerly healthy youths who will never move on their own again. Or after offloading wounded young people from a passenger jetliner with the seats removed and four vertical rows of stretcher hooks extending all the way down both sides of the aisle.

They Shall Not Grow Old allows the reminiscences of 70-year-old veterans to breathe life into the determined, youthful images Jackson shows us on screen. In so doing, we gain a much greater appreciation of “being a British soldier on the Western Front.”

But it could also have given movie-goers a glimpse into the part of war so rarely seen. It might then have been named, “They Shall Suffer Horribly and Die Before Their Time.” Hardly a formula for box office success… which is perhaps why war movies never go there, and why the next generation always signs up when their leaders beat the drum.

Mike Ferner, a former president of Veterans for Peace, served as a corpsman on the neurosurgery and psychiatric wards of the Great Lakes Naval Hospital during the Vietnam War. He lives in Toledo.

ple holding opposing viewpoints.

Be humble. Don’t brag. Take a sincere interest in other people. You can learn a lot from their experiences. Those with a low emotional intelligence tend to be so wrapped up in themselves that they are oblivious to the people around them.

Always think before you act. Never act in anger. When you are upset, allow enough time to cool down before you say or do anything. Assess the impact of your behavior on others before making any final decisions. If you are not sure of how to respond, take more time to figure it out.

Regularly practice strategies to boost your emotional intelligence. There’s always room for improvement. Developing a high level of emotional intelligence is an invaluable asset.

TMA celebrates children’s author The Toledo Museum of Art will celebrate the life of children’s author Jan Wahl and his most recent book, “Hedy and Her Amazing Invention,” on Saturday, March 2 from noon-4:30 p.m.

“Hedy and Her Amazing Invention” teaches kids about the pioneering scientific work and inspiring courage of Hedy Lamarr, the famous Hollywood actress

who fought against prejudice and stereotypes to become an accomplished inventor. Morgana W. Wallace’s epic collages elevate Hedy to myth-like status.

Participants should meet at the Museum’s Family Center at noon to transform recyclable materials into their own collages, musical instruments, and ornaments. At 2 p.m. there will be a parade from the Family Center to the Little Theater for a reading of a selection of Wahl’s books, as a celebration of life for the author who passed away on Jan. 29 at the age of 87.

At 3 p.m., the 1944 film thriller, “Experiment Perilous,” staring Lamarr will be shown.

“Jan was inspired by the Toledo Museum of Art throughout his life, beginning with his visits as a boy, so it is fitting that we celebrate both his life and this new book here at the Museum,” said Scott Boberg, TMA’s manager of programming.

Lamarr, an Austrian-born actress who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, was also an inventor whose ideas served as the foundation for current Bluetooth technology. She was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

Youth motivational speaker addresses teen issues

Student Stars Academic honors

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com If you are a parent who lets his teenager use cell phones and other devices unmonitored, you are not going to like what Jeff Yalden has to tell you.

Yalden, a nationally renowned teen mental health motivational speaker, will explain to you the correlation between social media, teen depression and suicide, and the numbers are growing every year.

Yalden, a best-selling author and Gulf War veteran, has given more than 5,000 talks in 50 states and 49 countries. He has been featured on Fox, Fox News, USA Today, The Oprah Network, ESPN, CNN, NBC, SPIKE TV, A&E, CBS, ABC News, U.S. News and World Report, MTV, and other national media outlets.

Last week, Lake Schools was fortunate to have Yalden spend two days with district students. The first day was spent at the high school and that evening, he gave an open presentation to the community. He spent the next day with Lake Middle School students.

His appearance was sponsored by the Wood County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board Part of the reason he feels qualified to speak to teenagers about depression is the fact he’s been there. As a 16-year-old in Hollis, New Hampshire, he went into a deep, suicidal depression that ultimately ended with him spending two weeks at Brookside Hospital in Merrimack, New Hampshire.

On Feb. 26, 1991, at 07:36, Jeff Yalden walked in on one of his fellow Marines who had a 9-millimeter gun pointed at his head.

In shock, Yalden tried to talk him out of it. Right after he said, “I care about you!” the marine uttered his last words, “Maybe you’re the only one!”

Roughly 20 years later, Yalden divorced his wife of 17 years, moved south and ended up in a hospital on the Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, in North Carolina.

This was a major turning point in his life. He looked in the mirror and asked, “What did I have to do with this?”

Since that moment, life has never been the same for Yalden, he said.

Realizing that his own struggle with mental illness was more severe than he had ever admitted, he decided to get the help he needed. Now, he lives proudly with his mental illness, and through addressing his own struggle, he says that he has changed into a man he loves.

Diagnosed with major depression, bipolar type 2, and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), he is transparent and authentic in his personal journey with self-care, therapy and medication.

Since 1992, he’s been relating to students how his story and recovery can help others.

Yalden has constantly had to change his message with the times, however. He talks about teen mental health, sexting, drugs and alcohol abuse, opioids, vaping, life, self-esteem, bullying, and adulting, but teen depression is one topic he relates to personally. He says depression strikes about one in three teenagers and parents need to know the warning signs, which often come in verbal and behavioral clues.

Jeff Yalden (Press photo by Ken Grosjean) “Ups and downs are a part of life,” Yalden said. “However, sometimes the down times last longer.”

Talking to a couple hundred audience members in the Lake High School auditorium, Yalden now turned his attention toward social media, smartphones and suicide prevention. The first thing he noted is that today’s youth are the first generation to grow up with cell phones.

In 2012, 53 percent of teens had access to smart phones; in 2015 that number increased to 72 percent; in 2018 it was 95 percent and today Yalden says it is close to 100 percent.

At the same time, 35 percent of teens feel they are a burden, which is a symptom of suicide, and they describe their parents as “tired and angry.” From 2010-18, there has been a 31 percent surge in teen suicides and if nothing changes, he sees another 31 percent surge in the next 10 years.

Yalden says much of the teen depression is a result of bullying and social expectations but he stresses that “suicide is rarely caused by one thing.” He adds that bullying is a two-way street.

“We need to teach kids how to cope with bullying, too, because it will never go away,” Yalden said.

Plus, he adds that today young adults are just as vulnerable as teenagers.

time; it used to be ages 13 to 18 for many psychological, emotional, physical and social changes that accompany this stage of life,” Yalden said. “This is when you need to watch out for teen depression.”

He says if one would ask teenagers about the loss of their smartphone “at least half would tell you that their social lives would end.

“Most teens will tell you that their smartphones improve their lives and they couldn’t imagine a life without it,” Yalden said.

He believes parents should always monitor their children when they are on the internet, even when kids are doing their homework. He offered statistics relating to how often kids trade pornographic photos, adding that in Texas, a new law was passed that not only makes the child a sex offender if caught, but implicates parents too. He believes that law is coming to other states in the future.

Yalden recommends families institute smartphone-free Sundays and smartphone-free family meals on a regular basis.

He suggests getting children off social media websites and encouraging them to spend more time on YouTube, Google, or websites where they can learn from research.

Obituary

William D. Crozier 10/20/1933 ~ 1/30/2019

William D. Crozier, 85, passed away peacefully in the presence of family on January 30, 2019. Bill lived in Ohio the majority of his life, but his final years were spent in Michigan in the care of daughter, Cynthia, her husband Tom and granddaughter Caitlin, as well as the family pups, who always brought a smile to his face. He especially loved babies, and always enjoyed visits from grandson Nick, wife, Nicky, and great-grandchildren Adam, Luna and Lucy.

One of eight children, he was born on October 20, 1933, to Dale and Leona (Freimark) Crozier of Elmore, Ohio. He graduated from Harris-Elmore High School in 1951 and was a member of the former Elmore Christian Church.

Bill’s passion for the outdoor sporting life began in childhood and continued throughout his adult life. Scouting was an important part of his early years and he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. He was one of the founding and long time active members of the Elmore Conservation Club where he spent many enjoyable hours trap shooting. He hunted small game and waterfowl, and owned a very successful Lake Erie charter sport fishing business based in Oak Harbor, Ohio. On June 21, 1995, he captained the boat with the largest catch in the Governor’s Cup Walleye Tournament.

In addition to chartering, Bill enjoyed promotional sales, where he worked directly with many clients spanning businesses both large and small. Bill was kind, quiet, humble, and always respectful of others. He also had a great sense of humor.

He is survived by daughter, Cynthia McTavish and son, Brad Crozier; brothers, James P. and Thomas D.; and sisters, Lila C. Wood and Sue Howe; five grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; fourteen nieces and nephews, and countless lifelong friends.

Preceding him in death were his parents; sisters, Jean Crozier and Betty Riehm; brother Dave Crozier; and grandson, Adam R. Clere.

The family would like to extend their gratitude and appreciation to the staff of Sparrow Hospice Services, in particular, Michael and Casey, for their compassionate and loving care.

Honoring Bill’s request, we will celebrate his life and interment in private. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to the Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge 14000 W. St. Rte. 2 Oak Harbor, OH 43449, the Harris-Elmore Public Library PO Box 45 Elmore, OH 43416 or the charity of your choice.

Gov. DeWine liaison visits B-C-S district

Pediatricians plan to boost attendance

On Thursday, Feb. 7, Christa Luttmann, the Northwest Regional Liaison for Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, visited the BentonCarroll-Salem School District to get to know the people and issues in our area.

Luttmann visited with the Agricultural Education program and spoke to Ag students about their future career plans.

She also visited the Marketing Program and talked extensively with instructor Nadine Scott and student, Bailey Blunt, about opportunities in the program and a host of

Research shows that missing school a lot makes students less likely to do well academically and more likely to drop out.

“School absences can add up quickly,” said Mandy Allison, MD, MSPH, FAAP, lead author of the policy statement and a member of the AAP’s Council on School Health, which developed the report.

Chronic absenteeism is linked with health risks like smoking and substance use. But poor school attendance and educational achievement also has more subtle health effects. Adults with less education are more likely to be unemployed, for example, and less likely to report feeling control over their lives and high levels of social support. This can leave them more vulnerable to the psychological and the physical tolls of stress, such as depression and reduced immune system function.

The report highlights proven measures to improve school attendance, including increased hand washing, school-located influenza vaccination programs, access to school nurses and counselors, and on-site medical, oral health and nutrition services.

10 Eagles reach final; Clay wins 9th title in 10 years

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Clay won its seventh Three Rivers Athletic Conference wrestling championship in eight years, scoring 215½ points to easily outdistance second place Whitmer (138).

Dating back to the Toledo City League, the Clay wrestling team has now won nine out of 10 league titles. The only year missing was when Fremont Ross defeated Clay by one point to win the TRAC title.

The Eagles had 10 wrestlers reach this year’s championship round, including five individual champions — junior Tony Pendergraff, sophomore Jacob Moon, senior Kyle Miller, junior Jacob Meek, and senior Josh Nagy. The Eagles already scor ed 170 points before the finals started, so the team championship was already in the bag.

“The team wrestled really, really well,” Clay coach Ralph Cubberly said. “I mean, everybody wrestled up to their expectations.”

Meek (34-8) won the 170-pound championship by pinning Whitmer senior Eric Mathis Jr. (28-12) in 3:14. He breezed through the TRAC meet with three pins with the first two coming in the first period.

Meek says it’s not just winning as an individual, it’s also about getting the six team points by recording a fall.

“My goal throughout every match is to pin the guys as fast as possible,” Meek said.

“It’s really motivating, and it pushes me to just go out there and get the pin every time.

It’s like a motivating factor.”

Pendergraff (24-11) won a 14-2 major

decision over St. John’s sophomore J.T. Furko IV (22-6) in the 106-pound championship.

Moon (37-4) pinned Whitmer sophomore Donald Wingate (20-13) in 1:12 to win the 113-pound title.

In the 152 final, Miller (25-11) won a 9-0 major decision against Whitmer senior Devin Takacs (29-13).

At 182 pounds, Nagy (30-10) won the championship because Central Catholic junior Mason Schmoekl had to pull out because of an injury.

Clay senior Kyle Maville (29-12) reached the 126-pound final, but lost a 10-6 decision to Whitmer sophomore Jack Haskin (40-5) to finish as TRAC runner-up.

At 132 pounds, Clay sophomore Mike Daly (26-11) lost in the championship by 11-3 major decision to Fremont Ross senior Charles Chapman (28-5).

Clay junior Kameron Miller (27-14) lost a 17-0 tech fall (3:25) to Findlay junior Jonah Smith (37-7) in the 138-pound final.

Clay senior A.J. Szigeti (30-12) lost the 145-pound championship match by 15-6 major decision to Ross senior Deshea Pettiford (33-3).

Clay freshman Ty Cobb (40-10) was also a TRAC runner-up, losing the 195-pound final by 13-2 major decision to Ross senior Caleb Wood (28-8).

Clay junior Austin Thompson (23-18) placed third, winning a 6-2 decision over St. John’s junior Titus Chubb (10-8) in the 120-pound consolation final.

Clay senior Troy Murphy (29-11) was Clay’s other third place wrestler, winning the 160-pound consolation final because of an injury to Whitmer sophomore Cameron

Piercy (14-4).

Finishing in third in the TRAC varsity team results was Ross (136), followed by Findlay (105½), Central (52), St. Francis (48), St. John’s (46) and Lima Senior (35).

One match from reaching state Clay came one match away from qualifying for the Division I state duals meet, losing to Elyria, 42-16, in the regional final.

Elyria’s coach, Erik Burnett, celebrated his 250th career win this season and it has taken him a couple decades to build the program.

“They are ranked in the top 20 in the country and they are really good,” Cubberly said.

The Eagles opened the tournament with a 63-7 quarterfinal victory over Whitmer.

However, if anything bright came out of the regional duals, it was avenging a loss to eventual Northern Lakes League champion Perrysburg, taking down the Yellow Jackets during a regional semifinal, 47-24.

Five Eagles recorded falls in that win.

Moon pinned Perrysburg freshman Jackson Hawker in 4:46, Maville pinned freshman Allenson Denkins in 4:41, Szigeti pinned senior Ayden Steinline in 1:52, Murphy pinned sophomore Chris Mason in 1:09, and Meek pinned junior Shandi Anz in 1:01.

In addition, Daly won a 16-1 technical fall over senior Quinn McNulty with 36 seconds remaining. Szigeti’s fall gave the Eagles a 35-9 lead and the celebration was on.

“That was a big deal. That was the one thing that we wanted to do,” Cubberly said.

“We wanted to wrestle Perrysburg again and wrestle our best dual against them and we did that. It was pretty good.”

Meek added, “It was great because we

hadn’t beaten them in a long time. It was awesome to go out there and pretty much (rout) them.”

However, against Elyria, the only Clay winners were Moon, Murphy, Nagy and junior Ben Richmond (285), and only one of those was by fall. Elyria’s upper weight classes were athletic, but Moon’s pin of sophomore Colin Noel in 4:48 early in the match gave the Eagles some hope as they took an early 6-3 lead.

Murphy won a 19-5 major decision over junior Dillon Hendricks, Nagy won 7-1 over junior Ben Doehr and Richmond defeated freshman Alexander Lowery, 6-0.

Meek was hoping his team could hold more of his team’s losses to decisions and record falls when Clay wrestlers won to offset the scoring, but it didn’t quite work that way.

“We always say, ‘pins win duals.’

You’ve got to go out there and you’ve got to try and get bonus points for the team,” Meek said. “If a guy knows that he may not win, you just don’t want to give up a major decision or stuff like that.”

Clay hosted the Division I sectional over the weekend, and Cubberly would not only like to see wrestlers advance to district and end up at state, but he’d like to see more place at the state tournament, too.

“Our mindset is to move one step forward, reach the district tournament, and take one step at a time,” Cubberly said.

“Win each match one at a time and advance to the district tournament. We’ll try to get as many as we can. We’re focusing on the sectional, district, and state — the second season is what we call it and get as many guys to the state tournament as we can and place as many as we can.”

Takes just one year for Golden Bears to win league title

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg wrestling team accomplished something last Saturday that will never repeat itself.

The Golden Bears won the team championship in their first year as a member of the Sandusky Bay Conference River Division. The Bears were not in a league last season after previously competing as a member of the Toledo City League.

“It’s great to be back in a league, especially one that is this meaningful,” coach Greg Spoores said. “There was good competition. Almost every weight class had a state placer or state qualifier. Getting kids prepared for the next step, some of them have tougher weight classes at this league tournament than they will encounter at sectionals.”

Gibsonburg scored 114 points in the River Division at the SBC tournament, followed by Willard (76) and Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic (47). The Bears finished in seventh place overall — the SBC also has the Lake and Bay divisions — ahead of such distinguished programs as Oak Harbor, which was eighth, and 10thplace Clyde.

“The bar’s been set pretty high (at Gibsonburg),” Spoores said. “Having only two seniors, we had a pretty strong showing. Some of our kids exceeded our expectations this year. We’re looking forward to having this league help us prepare for the postseason. For the most part, everybody managed to wrestle the way we wanted them to. Overall, we wrestled well.”

The Bears had one individual champion in 170-pounder Brad Mendoza. The senior, who placed third in the state at 170 last season, ran his record to 34-1 with a 7-1 decision over Lucas Salmon in the championship match.

“Brad had a great weekend,” Spoores said. “In his finals match, that’s where we want him to be moving forward, wrestling his best matches so he can chase a state title in the next few weeks.”

Gibsonburg senior Brady Jaso (288) won his match for third place at 160

Sandusky Bay Conference 170 pound champion Bradley Mendoza in action this season (Press file photo courtesy Innovations Portrait Studio/InnovationsVisualImpact. com) pounds, outscoring Lakota’s Trevor Franks, 13-11, in the finals.

“That was one of the biggest matches of the day,” Spoores said. “Trevor beat him twice this season, 7-3 at Van Buren and 1-0 a couple weeks ago, so that was a big win for Brady. He wanted it really bad. He put Trevor on his back twice, which was probably the difference in the match. It was definitely all heart in that match.”

Junior 195-pounder Jarett Spoores (347) and sophomore heavyweight Tayven Halbisen (28-9) both took fourth for the Bears. Spoores was pinned in the first period of the finals by Sandusky’s Terion Stewart.

“Jarett lost to a Bellevue kid, 3-2, in the last seconds of the semifinals,” coach Spoores said. “The Stewart kid is an outstanding athlete. He caught Jarett and just basically muscled him over. Jarett definitely needs to work on his conditioning a little bit. He’s right there in the thick of things vying for the third and fourth spot at districts. He has to realize it’s a possibility for him this year.”

Halbisen was also pinned in the first period of his third-place match, by Raven Brant of Willard.

“He had a really good weekend,” coach Spoores said. “He was in a position where he was going to get a fifth seed and wrestle a kid he had lost to in the quarters, so we put him in the open draw to take our chances. Tayven drew the third seed from Nowalk and Tayven pinned him, and from there it put him in a good spot, which is what we were hoping for in the lower half of the bracket. Both of his losses were to really good kids.”

Junior Hunter Smith (21-5) placed fifth at 220 pounds for the Bears, pinning Sandusky’s Demarion Dennison in 2:19 in the finals.

“Hunter had one match where it was really close, and being at 220, he got caught and got stuck,” Spoores said. “He came back in his third and fourth matches and he was a hammer and looked really good.

He finished strong.”

Gibsonburg sophomore Lance Novotny (27-15) took sixth at 138 pounds, and ju-

nior Jesse Arriaga (26-11) was sixth at 182.

“Lance had a pretty good weekend,” Spoores said. “He’s still a young sophomore, so he does make young mistakes that we try to correct. He only had seven wins as a freshman.”

Freshman Alex Lopez (20-16) reached the match for seventh place but lost by default.

“In his consolation quarterfinal match, he injured his shoulder in an illegal slam,” Spoores said. “We were hoping he would be able to go for seventh (place), but he’s a first-year freshman and we didn’t want him to not be able to wrestle at sectionals, so we decided to default.”

Gibsonburg will compete in the Division III sectional tournament Friday and Saturday at Lake.

“We’re hoping to have a good week of practice and get the kids’ minds set on where they want to finish the season,” Spoores said. “We’ve talked about mental toughness and preparing for these next couple weeks, and we’re excited to see what’s going to happen.”

Genoa wrestlers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Northern Buckeye Conference champions for the seventh straight year.

State dual champs collar 7th straight NBC title

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com One week after repeating as Division III state dual champions, the Genoa wrestling team powered to their seventh consecutive Northern Buckeye Conference championship.

Four Comet wrestlers were crowned as the NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first four-time champions the Comets placed 12 wrestlers, advanced 10 into the finals and capped eight champions in all.

Since the formation of the NBC in 2012, the Comet matmen have crowned 44 individual NBC champions to more than double Elmwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next best mark of 18.

The conference title is the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth overall (2003, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) and eighth tournament team championship this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really blessed and fortunate to have a lot of great kids in our program who have put in the work individually to make themselves the best they can be,â&#x20AC;? Genoa coach Robert Bergman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part is they have helped their teammates do the same and collectively we have been able to have success as a team.â&#x20AC;?

To win the NBC, Genoa topped team runner-up Elmwood by 92 points, 227½135½. Otsego (115½) was third, followed

by Eastwood (107), Lake (102), Woodmore (59), Rossford (53) and Fostoria (12).

Oscar Sanchez, Julian Sanchez, Dylan Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Emilio and James Limongi pioneered conference history as the seniors all claimed their fourth individual titles.

Dylan Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Emilio was voted NBC Wrestler of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four four-time NBC champions is a special accomplishment by Oscar, Julian, Dylan and James,â&#x20AC;? Bergman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was only a handful in the 40-year traditionrich history of the Suburban Lakes League. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alfredo Lazoya was the only wrestler

Waite, Northwood finish one-two in City League meet

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Last Saturday’s City League wrestling tournament championship was a long time coming for the Waite Indians.

The program last won a CL title in 2014, under coach Shane Kokensparger, and then attrition set in.

“Three years ago Waite had two wrestlers,” second-year coach Russ Jennings said. “I took the program over and recruited kids from the lunch room, and I got kids who had never wrestled before but who were willing to give it — and me — a try.

We just all fell in love together and put in the work together. Last year was crushing, but this year we came back and the goal from day one was to win a City title and we did it.”

The Indians, who took second place behind Bowsher at last year’s CL tournament, scored 163 points followed by runner-up Northwood (152.5) and Bowsher (138). Every individual win the Indians recorded came by pin, and 11 of their 12 wrestlers placed in the top four.

Jennings called bouncing back from last season’s disappointment “surreal.”

“That left a bad taste in our mouths last year,” he said. “We lost by two team points, the narrowest of margins, and it was terrible. We stayed focused on the goal. Our goal was to win a City title and have something for the school to be proud of. Everybody’s had each others’ backs all year.”

Waite crowned three champions in juniors Ricardo Oviedo and Devon Wheeler and senior Braden Mapes. Oviedo, who competed for Perrysburg last season, pinned Bowsher’s David Hershey in 3:24 in the 126-pound final.

“Cardo was probably our most decorated wrestler in the (practice) room,” Jennings said. “He didn’t wrestle at all this year. He moved into our district about a month ago.

His parents called me and asked if he could still wrestle, and I said absolutely. He’s an awesome wrestler. He made everybody else in the room better just by being there.”

Wheeler won the 132-pound title with a pin of Scott’s Jason Henderson in 3:06 in the title match. Wheeler won the 120-pound CL title last season.

“I can’t say enough about him,” Jennings said. “He’s a great kid, one of those kids who when they walk in the room, everything feels better. He’s ready for the postseason. He’s only a second-year

Mapes pinned J.J. Poiry of Northwood in 49 seconds in the 152-pound final.

Mapes placed third at last year’s league tournament.

“He was our dark horse,” Jennings said.

“He had a pivotal match (Saturday). It was a tight team race with us and Northwood, and he had a Northwood kid in the finals.

We knew if we could win that match it was not a guaranteed win for our team, but if we could win that match it would create

Northwood crowns five CL champions.

The Rangers had five CL champions – more than any other school - in seniors Joseph Heise (145 pounds) and Colton Falk (138), and juniors Erik Marazon (195), Austin Cole (182) and Junior Chaisiri (170).

“I thought going in the kids who won championships all had a chance to win,” Northwood coach Nick Encheff said. “All of them were seeded first except for Colton.

I was happy we had seven kids in the championship finals. We sent nine wrestlers and all nine placed. We couldn’t ask for too much more.”

Falk became Northwood’s second fourtime league champion. Cole is a two-time CL champion.

“Colton’s got a (school) record that can’t be broken,” Encheff said. “He’s always going to be a four-time champ. He’s put in the work the last four years to do that.”

The Rangers also got runner-up finishes from J.J. Poiry at 152 pounds and Joseph Miller at 285. Braden Alore placed third at 132, and Nathan Warfel took fourth at 126.

Northwood competes at the Division III sectional tournament Friday and Saturday at Lake.

separation between us and Northwood. It was gratifying for Braden. He’s a senior and he gets to leave Waite High School a City League champion.”

The Indians got second-place finishes from Arnoldo Cintron at 113 pounds, Neko Brown (138), Lamonte Redmond (160) and Ethan Reece (170).

“I knew those kids would be in the finals,” Jennings said. “Everything throughout the tournament happened the way I thought it would happen, except at 145.

Those are kids — except Redmond, who is a second-year guy – who had never wres-

tled before. They’re brawlers and they just bought into the hard work. They got what I thought they would get.”

Olivia Montgomery, a 106-pound freshman, and Julione Meredith (182) both placed third for Waite. Montgomery won the third-place match by forfeit.

“Julione is also a first-year wrestler and they both came in and worked hard,” Jennings said. “They did what we needed them to do to win a team title. Julione won a big match for us for third place. He came away with a pin and got the bonus points for us.”

The Indians also got fourth-place finishes from Christian Cintron at 120 and Dylan Campos at 285.

“Dylan won two matches for us, both by pin,” Jennings said. “Those got us bonus points that helped us get over the top.”

Waite competes at the Division I sectional tournament Friday and Saturday at Clay.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Do The Good You Can Human beings know how to help each other. We rise to the occasion after natural disasters, forinstance, and demonstrate that we are at our best when our fellow humans need us most. But why can’t we do this all the time? What keeps us from reaching out and helping others in the mundane give and take of our everyday lives? The fact that we sometimes help and other times look away or just plain refuse to help is perhaps an indictment of our moral sentiments, the feelings of empathy and sympathy which move us to help.

Sometimes our heartstrings are pulled and we rise to the occasion and other times we fail to do so. Social

Northwood

Psychology offers some clues to this puzzle. It turns out that what is referred to as bystander apathy (not helping when you see someone in need) can be overcome by 1) noticing that someone needs help; 2) interpreting the situation as one where you could be helpful; 3) taking responsibility for helping; 4) developing a plan (or deciding what should be done); and 5) implementing the plan. It’s not terribly complicated. Most of us could be doing more to help our sisters and brothers in need.“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.”—Proverbs 3:27 NIV

Keith Fields and Lady Sarah bring their distinctly British sense of humour to every show. This show features amazing magic, hilarious comedy, and a delectable insight into the life of two very un-ordinary people. They will have you rolling in the aisles with their quick wit and then gasping with amazement at their incredible illusions.

This is so much more than a magic show and so much more than a comedy show — it is a high energy rollercoaster ride of fun and excitement from beginning to end. Keith Fields is a world champion magician and headline comedian. Lady Sarah is a real English lady with a penchant for shoes, doing her best to keep everything in some semblance of control! And if everything turns to custard, they are British, so they will make a cup of tea and we can all have some crumpets!
