Plans call for ultraviolet treatment of wastewater Oregon council approved an agreement with ARCADIS U.S. Inc., of Toledo, to provide engineering services for the preliminary design for a wastewater treatment plant ultraviolet disinfection system for $75,000.

Oregon currently uses chlorine gas to disinfect secondary effluent - wastewater after it’s been treated, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman.

Studies have shown that the reaction of chlorine with organic materials in the water form carcinogenic trihalomethanes and organochlorines, according to the EPA. As a result, dechlorination was instituted to remove residual chlorine from wastewater prior to discharge The wastewater treatment plant complies with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permit requirements by removing chlorine residual following disinfection, since chlorine can be toxic to aquatic life.

“We hit it with chlorine, then we have to dechlorinate it before it goes out to the lake. So we actually add a second chemical to do that,” said Roman.

Due to increasing concerns with the hazards of chlorine to the environment, public and wastewater treatment plant personnel, and administrative efforts to meet safety regulations, the city is planning to switch to ultraviolet disinfection.

“Chlorine is a strong disinfectant, but through the years, ultraviolet has now become the preferred method for disinfection,” said Roman. “Due to safety in the handling of chlorine tanks – which can be very dangerous – as well as the hazards to the environment,” the city plans to use ultraviolet treatment, he added.

“Ultraviolet light disinfects and kills microorganisms,” said Roman.

The city previously upgraded its chlorine system in 1991, he added.

“A couple of years ago, we knew we had to start thinking about some sort of replacement,” said Roman. “We felt UV was the way to go. But there are so many differ-

ent ways we could do it. We really needed a preliminary design and look at different alternatives – it could be just adding equipment to a tank versus a building. That’s why we want to go this route.”

Roman advertised and requested qualification statements from engineers to provide services for the preliminary design of the disinfection system improvements. Besides ARCADIS U.S. Inc., the city received qualification statements from Greenman-Pedersen, Inc., Jones & Henry Engineers, Ltd., Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., and Tetra Tech, Inc. “We felt ARCADIS was the best,” said Roman.

Great project Councilwoman Sandy Bihn called the UV treatment “a great project.”

“Thank you for bringing this to us,” she said to Roman.

“As they are assessing this, are they also looking at opportunities for nutrient and phosphorous reductions in the effluent?” asked Bihn. Excessive phosphorous and nutrients are blamed by scientists with fueling the green harmful algal blooms that have plagued the shallow western basin of Lake Erie in the last several years. Some of the blooms can turn toxic and produce Continued on page 2

Lake bill of rights passes, now what?

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com To backers of the Lake Erie Bill of Rights ballot initiative, its passage Tuesday by voters in Toledo marks an historic turn in how a community regards the lake and its entire ecosystem.

LEBOR grants legal rights to the Great Lake and its watershed as an amendment to

the city’s charter. According to those who pushed for it to be on the ballot, it will be the first U.S. law of its kind.

“We’ve been using the same laws for decades to try and protect Lake Erie. They’re clearly not working,” said Toledoans for Safe Water activist Markie Miller. “Beginning today, with this historic vote, the people of Toledo and our allies are ushering in a new era of environmental rights by securing the rights of the Great

Lake Erie.”

The initiative passed with more than 61 percent of the vote: 9,867 for to 6,211 against. Another initiative, Keep the Jail in Downtown Toledo, also passed: 12,910 for to 3,250 against. Voter turnout was low at about 9 percent.

microcystin, a bacteria that can cause illness and even death in people, fish, dogs and livestock. An algal bloom in August, 2014 contaminated the water supply for Toledo water customers and forced 400,000 people to drink bottled water for two and a half days.

Roman said the focus was on UV as a disinfectant in treating wastewater.

“There is a requirement by the EPA to disinfect our effluent. I don’t think it would have any effect on nutrients. I do know if we take on leachate from Waste Management or any other kind of waste stream, we have to make sure this UV system can handle that.

Maybe that would make a difference with nutrients. But this would be solely a scope of work for disinfection.”

Bihn, who is executive director of Lake Erie Waterkeeper, further asked if there was a way to piggyback on the UV treatment project with nutrient reduction if it presented itself at a minimal cost.

“We could look at that,” said Roman. “Phosphorous is always something we want to reduce.”

She also asked if the UV project would affect the biosolids produced at the plant and are disposed of by the city.

“No,” said Roman. “It would have no effect on sludge production or affect that in any way.”

Gas supplier chosen The Lake Township trustees have approved a resolution to accept Volunteer Energy Services, Inc., Pickerington, O. as the supplier of natural gas for the township for two years beginning in May of this year.

An “opt-out” provision for users is included in the agreement.

Phil Dombey, township solicitor, said the projected average savings for users is about $15.15 a year.

The township is a member of the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition, which, through a consultant, issued a Request for Proposals to suppliers.

had to overcome several challenges since starting the ballot initiative process.

“It was definitely a long, hard struggle to get to this day, but all the hard work and countless volunteer hours by everyone in our local community group has paid off, she said. “We started this more than two years ago and had to overcome election board decisions and protests in court just to get on the ballot.”

No sooner than the election results were announced than a member of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation filed a lawsuit to prevent the ballot measure’s enactment.

Mark Drewes, a director of The Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association and whose family farms in Custar, O., filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Federal District Court for Northern Ohio challenging the constitutionality of LEBOR. The suit argues LEBOR violates federal constitutional rights, including equal protection, freedom of speech and is unenforceable for its vagueness. A request for preliminary and permanent injunction was also filed seeking to prevent enforcement of the law.

Drewes’ attorney, Thomas Fusonie, said the ballot measure would harm family farms if enacted.

“The charter amendment is an unconstitutional and unlawful assault on the fundamental rights of family farms in the Lake Erie Watershed – like the Drewes’ 5th

Costs Councilman Tim Zale asked Roman about the approximate cost of UV treatment.

“That’s a bigger unknown,” said Roman. “Do we need a building, or can we retrofit a tank.” Estimates can be as high as $2 million, he added.

“That’s why we want to do the preliminary design,” said Roman.” We can get a better feel for what will work.

In a month or two, I’ll come to council and ask about doing a barter exchange with Waste Management where we take their leachate in exchange for our sludge. But when we take that leachate, that’s a new waste product coming in and we have to make sure the UV system can handle it. So that’s another factor as to cost. I think the preliminary design would be done in July. We’re probably looking at a final contract at that time. But I’d like to know enough to apply for an OPWC (Ohio Public Works Commission) grant in the fall.

That’s the goal. Once the preliminary design is done, I’ll have a very good idea of what our cost will be.”

a statement about the court challenge: “For decades the U.S. and Ohio E.P.A.have allowed corporate polluters, factory farm operators and others to use Lake Erie as a toilet for their waste. They have been getting away with murder but using our democratic rights as citizens, we will not allow them to kill our Lake. We are examining the particulars of this challenge and with Toledoans for Safe Water, ACLE will respond to this and any other attack on our lake.”

generation family farm. The lawsuit seeks to protect the Drewes’ family farm from this unconstitutional assault,” Fusonie said.

Adam Sharp, executive vice president of Ohio Farm Bureau, said Drewes and other farmers are already employing conservation practices that benefit the lake’s watershed.

“Mark’s farm is an example of the right way of doing things. He’s employing a variety of conservation practices, water monitoring systems, water control structures and uses variable rate enabled equipment and yet he’s vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits,” he said.

Hefty gas tax hike in transportation bill

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Area counties, townships and municipalities could see their revenues from Ohio’s gasoline tax almost double by fiscal year 2024 if a proposed increase by Gov. Mike DeWine is enacted.

Gov. DeWine unveiled his proposed transportation budget (HB 62) recently to the House of Representatives, including an 18-cent motor vehicle user fee increase with future increases tied to inflation.

The House Finance Committee has been holding hearings on the bill.

Currently, the state has a 28-cent-pergallon tax that has been in effect since 2005.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has compiled projections if a 46-cent fee is imposed.

In Wood County, Lake Township would realize about $265,674 annually, according to the ODOT estimates.

Currently, the township is averaging about $118,000 a year, Vicki Schwamberger, township fiscal officer, said.

Freedom Twp., at 28 cents a gallon, is projected to collect $90,475 a year by fiscal 2020, according to the ODOT projections. By fiscal 2024, the indexed estimate at 46 cents a gallon is $163,953.

The revenue projections for the Village of Millbury are $51,833 at 28 cents a gallon by fiscal 2020 and $96,408 by fiscal 2024 at 46 cents.

In Lucas County, the City of Oregon estimate for fiscal 2020 at 28 cents a gallon is $891,544. The fiscal 2024 estimate at 46 cents a gallon is $1.49 million.

Jerusalem Twp. is projected to collect $90,475 by fiscal 2020 at 28 cents a

gallon. By fiscal 2024 collections would reach $163,953 with a 46-cent tax.

Projections for other villages and townships of their 2020 and 2024 collections are: Ottawa County Elmore – 2020 estimate - $49,826; 2024 estimate - $92,675.

Genoa – 2020 estimate - $90,310; 2024 estimate - $167,973.

Harris Twp. – 2020 estimate - $90,475; 2024 estimate - $163,953.

Oak Harbor – 2020 estimate - $102,247; 2024 estimate - $190,177.

Sandusky County Gibsonburg – 2020 estimate - $95,604; 2024 estimate - $177,820.

Woodville – 2020 estimate -$82,940; 2024 estimate - $154,265.

Woodville Twp. - 2020 estimate - $90,475; 2024 estimate - $163,953.

The estimates assume motor fuel consumption will grow by 1 percent through 2021 and then remain flat. Each county would receive 1/88th of the total. In addition to the state fuel tax, the federal government charges an 18.4-cent excise tax on a gallon of gasoline and a 24.4-cent tax on a gallon of diesel fuel.

Gov. DeWine in January convened the Advisory Committee on Transportation Infrastructure, and after two days of hearing from state and local agencies, businesses, organizations and others, it issued a recommendation for the increase.

Jack Marchbanks, director of the Ohio Department of Transportation, painted a bleak picture of the department’s financial situation.

“Beginning July 1, there is no revenue available for any new highway improve-

The Wood County Planning Commission is scheduled Tuesday to consider an application to rezone a 70-acre parcel in Troy Township where the owners intend to install a solar panel array.

The applicants, Stanley and Kathryn Chlebowski, are asking the commission to approve rezoning the parcel from A-1 agricultural to I-1 light industrial.

The parcel is located on the south side of State Rt. 163, between Luckey and Lemoyne roads.

The commission will also consider: -A resolution by Henry Township trustees to initiate the rezoning of 1,920 acres of land from agricultural use to industrial.

A specific use of the land hasn’t been submitted to the commission but the meeting agenda says the trustees, Wood County Economic Development Commission and Wood County Port Authority have been intending to have the land rezoned for “quite some time.”

The parcel is located in the southwest part of the township, south of the CSX Intermodal Facility.

-A request by Feller Finch & Associates on behalf of McCarty Builders to extend preliminary plat approval for plats 4, 5 and 6 at the Village at Riverbend and River Bend Lakes subdivisions.

The commission will meet March 5 at 5:30 p.m. at the county office building in Bowling Green.

ment projects of any kind in any place in our system,” he told the committee.

He said the past three state administrations have borrowed against future motor fuel user fee revenues to pay for needed roadwork in previous years – resulting in an average of $350 million in debt being serviced annually.

Heidi Fought, of the Ohio Township Association, testified last week before the finance committee on HB 62, urging the panel to find additional revenues for townships.

“While traffic on township roads and the cost of road maintenance has increased, revenue available for transportation improvements has remained stagnant or, in many cases, decreased. For townships, this includes the reductions in Local Government Fund revenue, the elimination of the estate tax in 2013, and the accelerated phase out of Tangible Personal Property tax and electric deregulation reimbursements,” she said. “Additionally, as cars become more efficient and the use of hybrid vehicles increases, motor vehicle user fee revenues are not enough to meet state and local transportation improvement needs.”

Schamberger last week said the township has taken a financial hit in Local Government Fund revenues, which were reduced by half seven years ago. Prior to the cuts, the township received on average about $165,000 a year. They’ve recovered somewhat recently and are approaching $100,000 annually.

On average, the township collected about $25,000 in estate taxes annually before it was eliminated, she said.

Consequently, the township trustees are considering tapping into the general fund to help pay for road projects.

Area churches unite to “Wipe Out” Poverty

By Press Staff Writer East Region Churches United (ERCU), a growing group of churches from East Toledo, Oregon and Northwood and surrounding communities, recently held a Toilet Paper drive creatively dubbed “Wipe Out Poverty.”

ERCU identified toilet tissue as one of the critical “top 10” needs in the community, since food stamps cannot be used to purchase paper products. Over an approximately two-month period, 6,421 rolls of toilet paper were collected, with more expected to come in. Local businesses also participated by donations of money and toilet paper to the cause.

ERCU will soon be distributing the

toilet paper to local food pantries including Food for Thought’s mobile pantry at St Paul’s Episcopal in Oregon, Ashland Church, Birmingham Food Pantry, Jerusalem Township Food Pantry and the Personal Needs Pantry at First St. John Lutheran Church.

To showcase the community’s generosity, some creative individuals from ERCU helped create a display including a heart for Valentine’s day and three huge crosses – one over 12 feet.

Those who would like to donate may contact Pastor Julie Beitelschees, of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Oregon, at 419691-9400, or Al Hoar, member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Oregon, at 419698-3733 or ahoar2@aol.com.

ERCU was founded last summer by Karen Culler, member of Hope Community Church, Oregon, who was inspired to bring together clergy and lay members from area churches with the goal of everyone getting to know one another as brothers and sisters.

The alliance is committed to serving the community together and sharing God’s love in creative ways.

“The toilet paper drive is a good symbol for the Eastern Region Churches United group – many different kinds of toilet paper were collected, but they all serve the same purpose,” Hoar said. “Likewise, all of the churches are different, but this community of believers came together for one purpose, to serve others.”

Development, infrastructure amoung highlights in 2019

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Community reinvestment, streamlined regulations, and stable finances and infrastructure projects were among last year’s highlights of Northwood Mayor Ed Schimmel’s State of the City address.

The city administration set into motion a community-generated vision to redevelop the former Woodville Mall site, which he called “our largest eyesore.� The city also developed plans to improve Brentwood Park, and completely altered regulations to stimulate new development opportunities along Woodville Road. “A just-inked School Travel Plan will now provide students with solutions that will allow them, for the first time ever, to walk and bike safely to their new school,� he said.

The city’s finances, he said, are in good shape, with stable general revenues and income taxes.

While income tax collections were generally flat last year, the city took in $800,000 more than what was spent, he said. “Our reserve balance, which is close to $14 million, is at levels unlike other communities our size in Northwest Ohio,� he said.

The Finance Department, headed by Finance Director Ken Yant, completed its 20th Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and was awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association.

Engaged Safety Services The city recorded its eighth year of declining crime largely due to investments made in the 27 member police department, he said. He praised Chief Thomas Cairl for emphasizing early intervention and community policing.

Traffic crashes are slightly up due to traffic accidents on I-75. But major crimes are down 6% from the previous year, he said. “Transparency is a benchmark of our policing efforts,� he said. “All of our dispatch logs and police reports, as well as neighborhood level crime data, can be accessed by going directly to the police department’s web page at www.northwoodpolice.com.�

The 40 member Fire/EMS Department, under the leadership of Fire Chief Joel Whitmore, continued a progressive outreach effort with residents and schools to decrease runs and fire events within the city, he said. “Our Fire Department continues to conduct proactive programs like home fire safety assessments that can result in the installation of free smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Department personnel also work diligently in the classrooms of the Northwood Local Schools District to educate the students on the many aspects of fire prevention. Our fire and EMS personnel continually strive to be the best in their profession; meeting, and many times exceeding, necessary training hours to make our community safer while providing round-the-clock fire and EMS staffing,� said Schimmel.

Clerk of Mayor’s Court, Laura Schroeder, “ensures that the court runs in an efficient and cost effective manner.�

“A fresh and improved face to Oregon Road,� he added, “will continue to evolve as the city works with TMACOG, ODOT, the Wood County Engineer and Owens Community College to complete additional pedestrian connectivity elements.�

These elements include sidewalks and bike lanes along the road from Wales south to State Route 795 and beyond, he said. “Some of the Wood County’s largest and most productive businesses are located along Oregon Road and these improvements will allow residents and employees to move along the corridor more efficiently than ever before,� he said.

The city continues to remain firm with Northwest Water and Sewer District in developing cost effective solutions in providing water and sewer services to residents, he said.

(Press file photo) and court costs than the previous year due to fewer citations, possibly because of the proactive policing techniques of the city’s police force, according to Schimmel. “To streamline the citation process, folks can pay their citations online or over the phone through a third party company called Court Solutions,� he said.

Stable infrastructure The city’s infrastructure is stable and being continuously improved, said Schimmel, thanks to Public Works Director Craig Meier and City Engineer Dave Kuhn.

Last year, the city completed over $1million in road resurfacing projects that included streets like Eisenhower, Ryan Place, MacArthur, West Pointe, Potomac, Bedford, Chesapeake, and sections of Wales and Bradner roads.

Several capital improvements in business areas of the city will help improve the flow of people and cargo, he said. “Gone are the days of long wait lines at the intersection of Tracy and Wales roads with the construction of a right turn lane.

State grant funding also allowed intersection improvements to the entrance to the McNerney Business Park. In 2019, we welcome the North American Headquarters of Sahm Glass to McNerney Park,� he said.

Economic Development This year, the city will continue to make neighborhood improvements and deploy economic development and planning tools, he said. “It’s my belief that economic development must begin at the neighborhood level because neighbors are the consumers and potential employees that employers look for. You can’t have the businesses we seek without thriving neighborhoods. To this end, Brentwood Park will be outfitted with a new bike and walking trail, and plans are currently underway for new a concession stand to help service the park and the Miracle League,� he said. “Our community cannot thrive unless our neighborhoods do. In 2018, we invested over $3 million back into our neighborhoods between capital and general fund revenues.

Through the leadership of Robbie Barrett, our code enforcement officer, our property maintenance and vacant property ordinance is helping to minimize property blight.

Robbie will soon be joined by a new planning and zoning coordinator, and together they will work to ensure all property owners remain team players in our community,� he said. “But the stability of our neighborhoods shouldn’t be the responsibility of only two people. I am calling on every city resident to assist us in revitalizing our neighborhoods.

Your efforts to keep your property tidy, wellmaintained and report issues will promote the livability and desirability of Northwood, which will attract more housing and businesses over time.�

A major effort of his administration, he said, is to bring life and investment back to the former Woodville Mall footprint. “We took progressive, bold steps to take all necessary actions to rid our community of this hazardous eyesore.

Northwood became the first municipality in Ohio to leverage resources from the Ohio

Water Development Authority to abate over $2 million dollars worth of asbestos in the abandoned buildings. This action was necessary to return this site back into an economic asset. The buildings may be gone, but there’s still much more to do,� he said.

Last year, several visioning sessions with the public honed a practical marketbased vision for the mall site called “The Enclave,� a mixed use development that will include a multitude of amenities, including a public park, walking trails and Northwood’s first “Main Street.�

The economic development tools the city created over the past few years, such as the Woodville Road Renewal and Façade Grant program and Community Reinvestment Area program, have helped with over $4 million dollars in property investments, with over $1 million alone at Northwood Commons, he said.

Also last year, the city: •Remediated the former AP Gas Station on Woodville Road through help of grant funding from the State of Ohio; •Joined the Energy Special Improvement District that allows businesses to tap into low interest financing for energy improvements. The program allowed the city to improve the lighting at city hall saving taxpayers about $25,000 per year in lighting costs; •Hosted 11 Northwood Business Luncheons that were well attended by business leaders and stakeholders looking to improve the community; •Installed a right turn lane at the intersection of Wales and Tracy roads that facilitated truck traffic movement. This joint project was possible with a matching 50 percent grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission; •Made Oregon Road improvements, including resurfacing, traffic control signal improvements, a dedicated turn lane at Arbor Drive and a bicycle lane. They will eventually connect southerly with similar lanes along this corridor. This joint project was also made possible from matching grants from the State of Ohio. “As we advance into 2019, our businesses, property owners and investors will continue to be welcomed by a streamlined regulatory environment and incentives that can be authorized quicker than any community in the region. This month, new zoning regulations will be in place that will allow for projects located in certain areas along Woodville Road to be advanced in timeframes never yet seen before in the region.

My goal as we advance into 2019 is to develop even more economic development tools by creating a community improvement corporation and deploying tools like tax increment financing to pay for public infrastructure at The Enclave,� said Schimmel.

Think of your happiness as a personal cause Letters Dare to Live Your happiness is up to you. Happiness is a cause, not a result. Too many people wait for circumstances to make them happy. Instead, you can take proactive steps to create your happiness.

A good first step is developing an attitude of gratitude for all of the good things in your life right now. Giving thanks on a daily basis for all of your blessings feeds your happiness. Starting each day reviewing the list of all you have to be thankful for is a happiness booster.

Anger, bitterness, and resentment are toxic to your happiness. Harboring grudges has the same effect. These emotions cause misery which destroys your happiness.

You will be happier letting go of any harmful emotions you are now carrying around.

Do this by focusing on what’s good in your life rather than how you may have been mistreated by others.

Stop worrying. Worry is like being in a rocking chair; it’s a lot of activity which doesn’t get you anywhere. Let go of annoyances. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Replace worry with action. Take positive action to bring about your desired outcomes.

Action causes you to be proactive.

Proactive people are happier because they take control of their lives instead of waiting to see what happens. You will be more satisfied when you are actively participating in the direction you want to go.

Optimism is linked to happiness.

Optimistic people are constantly looking for and finding solutions. They have a can-

do, possibility mindset. They don’t care about what other people say, think, or do.

When you are optimistic you are constantly looking on the brighter side.

Having clear goals boosts your happiness. They give you purpose and direction.

Working towards your own goals is satisfying and fulfilling. It keeps you purpose driven. Goals keep you on track when facing problems, obstacles, or challenges.

Utilizing your time efficiently makes you happier. It enables you to get more accomplished each day. Wasting time leaves you frustrated. You feel it’s impossible to catch up or get to everything requiring your attention. It is as if you are on a treadmill which is going too fast.

Setting priorities enables you to make the best use of your time. In so doing, you avoid wasting your time on insignificant tasks. You will be happier when working on your most important objectives. Reset your priorities each day to ensure you are spending your time wisely.

Find reasons to succeed, instead of making excuses for failure. You will only accomplish those objectives you believe

are possible. Accomplishments generate happiness.

Each accomplishment also paves the way for additional achievements.

Happy people tap into their strengths and abilities. They fully utilize all of their assets, instead of lamenting what they feel is lacking. You have a unique set of powerful traits just waiting to be put into action.

View problems as challenges that have solutions. Use problems as a way to learn, grow, and become stronger. With each problem solved, you are better equipped for the next problem. Happiness is enhanced by your ability to effectively deal with life’s problems.

Helping others is a great source of happiness. You’ll get a lot of satisfaction assisting others in whatever ways you can. Treat everyone you encounter with courtesy, respect, and kindness. Adding to someone else’s happiness adds to your happiness.

Getting someone to smile is a great feeling.

You are in control of your happiness.

Your thoughts and actions matter. Stop doing things which make you unhappy and start engaging in happiness generating behavior.

Time to change the battle against opioid addiction

By Alexis Pleus As a New York State Trooper was handcuffing me at our State Capitol, I told him, “I lost my son. This is for him.”

Jeff was an amazing kid, a chef, who was 28 when he died of a heroin overdose.

I was willing to face arrest at an Albany protest because our elected officials know what they can do to save lives like Jeff’s — including providing resources for longer rehabilitation and after-care, freeing doctors to prescribe addiction treatment medications, and setting up safe injection sites in the event of relapse.

But they don’t. Instead, they stick to old-fashioned rehabilitation models that aren’t working.

When Jeff was alive, no one told us how hard it is to beat an opioid addiction. No one offered us Suboxone or other proven treatments. No one told us about Naloxone, which can reverse an overdose.

Give him “tough love,” treatment providers told us, so we did.

Doctors are able to prescribe unlimited amounts of opioid pills for pain, but few of them understand the addiction this creates, nor offer help for it. And none are allowed to prescribe Suboxone or Methadone, which help overcome opioid dependence, without a specialized waiver.

Addiction is an illness. Any patient should be able to say, “I have an addiction,” and hear a doctor say, “I have medicine that can help you.” It should be that simple.

After much struggle, Jeff finally got inpatient treatment, but our private insurance tried to send him home after two weeks. He

Guest Editorial begged to stay. When he got another week, I naively thought that was all he needed.

But with less than four weeks of treatment, only one in 10 avoids relapse. No one told me that.

Jeff was heroin-free for 20 months — more than a year and a half — before he died. I had stopped worrying. Looking back, I can see he tried to tell me he needed a lot more support than three weeks of rehabilitation. He had real knowledge to share, and we should have listened.

If I could have my son back and give him a safe place to use without dying, I would certainly do it.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo touts addressing the opioid epidemic aggressively. One of his recent boasts was a proposal to have insurance companies provide 21 days of care — up from 14 days currently. But under 28 days, the success rate is still one in 10. So Cuomo’s action wouldn’t even move the needle.

Cuomo could take real action to save lives, to end this “raging grassfire” as he likes to call it. He could open safer consumption sites, increase harm reduction funding, and expand access to the medicines that treat addiction. Instead he continues to support failing old-school styles of treatment, most of which require absti-

nence from all substances.

That isn’t possible for everyone.

Keeping people healthy and alive needs to be our priority. They cannot recover six feet under.

As another member of our group was being walked out in cuffs, the state trooper guiding her spoke in her ear. “My family has really been impacted by addiction,” the trooper said. “I feel for you all, and I appreciate what you’re doing.”

The opioid crisis affects us all. These are our family and friends. We need to change systems if we want to save their lives.

Small steps like the ones Cuomo takes, and other half-measures all around the country, aren’t enough. Overdose deaths continue to rise as elected officials try to sway public perception that things are getting better. It’s not better.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.”

This is such a time. We can’t be concerned if a tactic that saves lives is controversial, or because the message is uncomfortable. We have to prioritize saving lives.

We must move forward with courage.

Get involved To the editor: Sarah Anderson’s guest editorial of Feb. 18, 2019 highlighted the value H.R. 1 holds for reining in the amount of money election campaigns need to raise, thus countering the dangers mega donors pose.

American Promise is a grassroots group attempting to do the same thing but by a different route: American Promise promotes HJ Res. 2, a 28th Amendment to our Constitution. HJ Res 2 would accomplish this if it were passed by both the House and Senate.

And that is a huge if, given the current divided Congress.

American Promise volunteers visit frequently with Northwest Ohio’s elected officials and their legislative aides at both the federal and state levels-- senators Portman and Brown and representatives Latta and Kaptur. The meetings provide insight into the functioning of the offices of our elected officials. The office staffs have shared that when there is an abundance of phone calls and/or postcards about the same topic flowing into our legislators’ offices, it gets their attention.

So, to make the kind of changes necessary for a functional democracy, we constituents need to become involved. As Dietrich Bonhoefffer wrote: “Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

We need to be the change.

Entertainment Published first week of month.

Exhibit of global contemporary art opens TMA March 9 New and inspiring contemporary works of art from around the world will be on view at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) during the exhibition, “Global Conversations: Contemporary World Art in Dialogue,” which runs from March 9 through March 8, 2020 in the Levis Gallery.

Approximately 50 objects encompassing a wide array of media – sculpture, painting, studio glass, works on paper and mixed media – will be included in the yearlong installation.

“Through innovative uses of media and scale, these artists contend with some of the most pressing issues of our time,” said Halona Norton-Westbrook, director of curatorial affairs at TMA. “In harmony with these areas of exploration, the display will highlight the stories of the people, places and materials that are intimately interwoven into the narratives of these compelling contemporary global works of art.”

Live! In the House Concert Series at Opera House The ongoing Live! In the House Concert Series at the Pemberville Opera House continues Saturday, March 2 with “A Brit of Magic,” starring Keith Fields and Lady Sarah.

Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 and are available in advance at Beeker’s General Store, 226 E. Front St., Pemberville or by contacting Carol at 419-287-4848 or carol@pembervilleoperahouse.org. Tickets are also available at the door.

Keith Fields and Lady Sarah bring their distractively British sense of humor to the show, which features amazing magic, comedy and a delectable insight into the life of two very un-ordinary people.

As a British performer who has made his home in the United States, he brings not only his accent but an oblique view of life in America, and still struggles with the language. A magician and comedian who started as a street entertainer, his unique comedy style opened doors into comedy clubs, which led to headline tours in Europe and Asia, appearances on TV and at arts festivals, along with performances for the armed forces overseas.

Lady Sarah has been performing since she was 5 years old. She describes herself as “an eccentric but mature, and has an unrequited love for new shoes.

Northern Michigan inviting place to explore any time of the year Ernest Hemingway loved Northern Michigan, especially that area near Little Traverse Bay on the upper lower peninsula, venturing into the towns of Petoskey and Harbor Springs.

The famous author spent his first 21 summers learning the way of northern Michigan woods and waters, immersing himself in the region’s natural beauty, sharing time with bears and lumberjacks, carousing, and, probably best of all to him, enjoying the great fishing.

He reportedly once told a friend the area offered “absolutely the best trout fishing in the country.�

His summers in Michigan affected him deeply in ways that repeatedly surfaced directly and indirectly in his works, a subject so rich that the Michigan Hemingway Society studies it intensely, touring his favorite haunts.

The natural beauty, the hills, the lakeshore, the rivers and streams are all still there to be explored and enjoyed. And the sky, that big blue clean clear northern sky. “The best sky was in Italy or Spain and in Northern Michigan in the fall,�

Hemingway wrote in “Green Hills of Africa.�

Sky deep blue, matching the waters of Lake Michigan.

It’s all so inviting any time of year – natural beauty with a healthy balance of things to do and places to see, restaurants to try and shops to wander.

This time of year, the business is snow and the sports that go with it at places like Boyne Highlands and Nub’s Nob, and miles of cross-country skiing in the region.

Spring means wildflowers; in summer it’s a refreshing escape, and the fall is well, extraordinary.

The scenery is always special, but especially so when the legendary Jack Frost has painted it in reds and oranges and yellows.

In the towns, it’s fun to stroll the shops of Petoskey’s Gaslight District or the quaint storefronts in Harbor Springs. The eclectic mix of art galleries, cafes, bakeries, specialty cutlery, and, well, places like Symon’s General Store in downtown Petoskey, is a giant step above most destinations. Not far away, the City Park Grille serves up great food around a centerpiece bar – the second seat from the end was regular patron Ernest Hemingway’s favorite. He would have approved, too, of the Petoskey Brewery at the head of the bay.

Both Petoskey and Harbor Springs recognize the appeal of their respective waterfronts. Each is unique.

Petoskey sits high above the bay overlooking a long and open bayshore park that caters to walkers and bikers. The special appeal at Harbor Springs is the intimate bayside dining and the big lake boats and yachts floating the marina, even at season’s

Sunset looking across Lake Michigan and Little Traverse Bay from Thorne-Swift Preserve just outside Harbor Springs.

by Art Weber end. Every evening, attention turns to spectacular sunsets framed by the mouth of the bay.

The back roads are special, too. None more so than Michigan SR 119, the famous Tunnel of Trees, one of the best drives in America for fall color. The Tunnel begins outside Harbor Springs and continues west then north as a 20-mile narrow winding forest road along a high sandy ridge overlooking Lake Michigan. You can take a break at the general store in the tiny town of Good Hart but be sure to stop in for a look at the unique driftwood dÊcor of Leg’s Inn at Cross Village.

It’s easy for the impressive views of the great lake and big bay to dominate attention. Inland, the Little Traverse Conservancy, a non-profit environmental association formed to protect the natural diversity and beauty of northern Michigan, has protected over 50,000 acres, including some really special preserves that are open to the public.

Young Ernest Hemingway loved Petoskey’s City Park Grill, then called The Annex, which still serves up great food and drinks.

Demon Rum & Cold Water

Hayes exhibit features temperance and the road to Prohibition

“

What we fail to realize is that the Prohibition Era was the culmination of a century of temperance reform.

“

Before Prohibition, there was temperance.

In reaction to increasing consumption of alcohol in the 1800s, many people began to express concerns about the social effects of drinking.

Thus began the temperance movement. It gained popularity in the 1850s, and President Rutherford and First Lady Lucy Hayes helped to shape this movement.

The newest special exhibit at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, “Demon Rum & Cold Water: The Two Sides of Temperance,” examines temperance; the involvement of women, who were often leaders of the movement; its effect on the American public; and the road that eventually led to Prohibition being ratified in 1919.

“Demon Rum & Cold Water” opened to the public March 1. It includes a tavern and a church where visitors can become temperance advocates and give temperance speeches. Artifacts, manuscripts and photos also illustrate the movement as it evolved through the years. A church be depicted because the temperance movement originated in religious organizations.

“In popular culture, we like to romanticize Prohibition with its speakeasies, flappers and gangsters,” Associate Curator of Artifacts Kevin Moore said. “What we often fail to realize is that the Prohibition Era was the culmination of a century of temperance reform.

“There were groups working on their own personal sobriety, prohibitionists lobbying Congress, mass demonstrations of women picketing saloons and even one case of a radical on a crusade to destroy taverns with a hatchet. Temperance is an interesting, but unfortunately often-overlooked topic.”

One of the artifacts featured in the exhibit is a medal awarded to showman and circus operator P.T. Barnum for his promotion of the temperance movement. This piece is on loan from the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Lucy Hayes’ wine-colored velvet dress, worn in her White House portrait, also will be brought out of HPLM’s collections storage and put on display. The Women’s Christian Temperance Union paid for the portrait to be painted because the first lady advocated for the temperance movement and abstained from alcohol.

The exhibit also will explore the Hayeses’ views on alcohol. Although they championed temperance, the couple was

not in favor of legally banning alcohol.

The Hayeses’ decision to keep alcohol from being served in the White House was in part a political move to keep the temperance faction within the Republican Party.

The president did partake in alcohol in moderation outside of the White House.

“In the post-presidency, Hayes further developed his interest in the temperance cause,” Curator Dustin McLochlin said.

“He continued to voice his preference that the only way to curb alcohol usage was through religious and moral example.

“He argued that laws could not be upheld against strong dissension, which we witness in the 1920s, and that laws unduly attack the rum seller when the rum consumer was just as at fault.”

Access to see “Demon Rum & Cold Water” is included with regular admission.

Members are admitted for free. The exhibit is open through Sunday, Oct. 6.

The exhibit is part of the “Finding Her Voice” program, a year-long initiative by the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums to create programming related to women’s history and the women who were connected to Spiegel Grove. “Finding Her Voice” is sponsored by the Reed Fund of The Toledo Community Foundation.

The Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is located at Spiegel Grove at the corner of Hayes and Buckland avenues, Fremont. For information, call 419-3322081, or visit rbhayes.org.

Cardinals want to go where no Stritch team has gone

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Last year, the Cardinal Stritch basketball team did what no Stritch boys team had done before — won a league championship.

This year, they did it again, and were ranked 11th in the final Associated Press Division III statewide media poll.

The Cardinals, behind three guards who averaged double figures, finished the regular season 19-3 overall and 9-1 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference — two games ahead of second place Ottawa Hills (15-5, 7-3).

“It’s very humbling and it’s a blessing because we got the first one and then to do it back-to-back. Everybody thought we could and we did. It’s nice to see that we could do that,” said 5-foot-10 senior guard Jordan Burton, who is averaging a teamhigh 15 points to go with 4.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.9 steals.

“It was a goal that the kids set early on,” said coach Jamie Kachmarik. “Last year we were fortunate to win one with the first undefeated season and this year we finished 9-1 in the league and won our second one back-to-back.

“You know, it tells you a lot about the senior class — to be a part of two TAAC

championships and losing one conference game in two years. They’ve put in a lot of hard work and it’s not just the senior class but the team as a whole. It’s a great accomplishment for us.”

Burton and 6-2 junior guard Joey Holifield both reached the 1,000 career point mark this season. They do it with outstanding shooting. This is a team that scores points, averaging 69.8 per game, and has put up 100 points once, in the 90s once, and reached the 80-point mark five more times.

Burton is shooting 52.2 percent from two-point territory (83 for 159), 44.1 percent from behind the arc (41 for 93) and has made 40 of 48 free throws (83.3 percent).

Holifield is shooting 58.9 percent from inside the arc (89 for 151), 45.7 from outside (16 for 35) and has made 75 of 104 from the charity stripe (72.1 percent). On the season, Holifield is averaging 14.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and two steals.

Little Anderson, a 6-3 senior guard, is averaging 13.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals. He is shooting 65.8 percent from inside the arc (96 for 146), 16 for 33 from 3-point territory (16 for 33) and made 52 of 60 free throws (86.7 percent).

He hasn’t reached the 1,000 point mark, but is not far off.

“Jordan made it the first game of the season and then Joey and Little is closing,”

Kachmarik said. “Probably when it is all said and done he’ll be under 100 points short.

“He’s had a great career and all three guys were named first team all-league in the TAAC, which the coaches were telling me that is the first time that has ever happened in conference history — getting three guys from one team on the first team. It’s a great year for those guys and the hard work that they’ve put in. The friendship that those three have just pays off on the court.”

When it comes to shooting, you can’t leave out 5-5 sophomore guard Jhaiden Wilson, who is averaging 9.6 points, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals. He is shooting 49.3 percent from the field, but it is at the perimeter where he excels.

“The big thing that has happened is little Jhaiden Wilson — he’s now 53 for 100 from three — 53 percent. The big thing with him is the middle of the year I entered him into the starting lineup and it seems like it really has changed some things about the way we have been playing,” Kachmarik said.

“He really shoots well and he’s got a chance to be a really good one — one of the next future guys here at Stritch. He plays his role well and really shoots it.”

has been the task. It was offensive rebounds that led to a 40-37 loss to Midwest Athletic Conference member Marion Local during the Flyin’ To The Hoop showcase at Trent Arena, and also a 42-41 loss to TAAC foe Toledo Christian.

“Against Marion Local, we came off a big (80-49) win against Maumee Valley that Friday night,” Kachmarik said. “I have to say we didn’t play very good. It wasn’t our best performance by far. Again, it was offensive rebounding that cost us. Two of our losses were TC and them and it was because of rebounds.

“Against Marion Local, it was an offensive rebound and kick out for three that beat us there and against TC it was an offensive rebound and a put-back. It is what it is. We’ve learned from it and now we have to try to get ready for the postseason.”

However, Stritch’s big men just keep getting better. Nolan Finch, a 6-7 senior forward, is averaging 5.9 points and 4.3 rebounds, and 6-6 senior forward Ashton Caryer is putting up 4.1 points and grabbing 4.4 caroms, but their roles go beyond getting points.

“Each of them keep getting better as the season goes on,” Kachmarik said.

Stritch basketball (continued from page 14) he had 10 points and 10 rebounds in the final game here, so he keeps getting better. And, Ashton Caryer is a load inside and very athletic, especially on the defensive end.”

No. 2 seeded Stritch opened the D-III tournament Friday against Northwood (6-17), which defeated Delta (6-17) 45-42 in the opening round.

A win would have sent the Cardinals to Central Catholic’s Sullivan Center to take on the Elmwood (13-9)-Eastwood (11-12) winner in an 8 p.m. district semifinal Thursday night. Looming in the other district bracket are No. 1 seed Genoa (22-0) and No. 3 Evergreen (184).

“The mentality is to win or go home,” Burton said. “We are going to give everybody our best shot and everybody is going to give us their best shot, so we’re going to play everybody the same.”

After Stritch defeated Genoa the past two years in the district tournament, if that match-up occurs a third time, Kachmarik says his squad will be ready and the goal is to get back to the regional tournament. Stritch has been to the regional three times — once in the 1980s and twice under Kachmarik’s tenure.

“They’ve been focused since we’ve been here. The taste in their mouth isn’t very good from last year’s district final (loss to Archbold). We played well at the beginning and then didn’t play very well. They know we didn’t play our greatest in that game, so they’re focused.

“Now, after being there, the guys who are seniors were sophomores when we made the regionals and Joey Holifield was a freshman on that team, so they know what it’s like to get to regionals and what that meant. That’s why they have the sour taste from last year.

But, it’s going to take a lot of hard work against good teams and you just have to stay focused.”

Burton and Kachmarik have not missed that Genoa finished the regular season undefeated and is ranked fourth in the state.

“Genoa is a very good team.

Everybody wants to see that,” Burton said. “We are going to give them and everybody we play our best shot.”

Kachmarik added, “For us, it’s one game at a time. We are never looking ahead. They’ve (Genoa) had a great season and they have great players, but we have to focus on the first game, which we can’t look past, because now everyone’s schedule is 0-0.

“We’ve been there. We’ve seen teams that have been undefeated before — teams that have one or two losses. It doesn’t matter. Now, everybody’s record is the same and that’s the way we are looking at it.”

Kachmarik says the three-game Sonic Slam Tournament in Lebanon, Tennessee over the holidays may have provided what his team needs to survive the tough tournament games.

“The big thing was the tournament we went to in Tennessee. Those teams were as good, if not the best, teams we’ve played all year,” Kachmarik said.

“For us to go 2-1 down there and lose in the championship game — we lost by four so it was a hard game, but I thought that really prepared us for the rest of the season. It helped us grow as a team, bonding and spending time together in the hotels with the families and all that. It was a great experience for us.”

Email: brads@realtor.com

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com The 22-0 Genoa boys basketball team, ranked fourth in the Associated Press Division III statewide media poll, have had a record-setting season.

They are only the second team in school history to finish the regular season undefeated and with a win over Rossford (9-14) Friday in a district quarterfinal, the Comets will have the longest running win streak of any team in program history.

In addition, 6-foot-3 senior Jacob Plantz has become the school’s all-time leading scorer and is averaging 21.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists. He was third team All-Ohio last year and is a strong candidate for all-state honors again this year.

Plantz, who will play at NCAA Division II Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio next year, and his classmate, 6-5 senior Andrew Bench, are the two that opponents will key during the tournament. Bench is averaging 13.1 points, eight rebounds and one assist.

However, if the Comets were able to get past an improving and young Rossford team that had won six of eight going in, they are likely going to have face the likes of teams like Evergreen (18-4) and Cardinal Stritch (19-3) in the district tournament.

“I think it’s about finding the top level of what we can produce each night — getting everybody firing on the offensive end and certain guys shooting the basketball, driving with the basketball, rebounding,” Genoa coach Zach Alt said.

“We’ve only had a few nights out of those 22 where every guy was clicking and we’ve got to get to where we want to be at this time of year. It’s going to take everybody firing on all cylinders to their full potential to get us as a group to our full potential. We’ve seen that in spots, or in flashes, or across two or three quarters, but to see it against top quality opponents the rest of the way. I think the guys need to show us that.”

The Comets have had wins over good opponents this year — like their 55-48 victory over Anthony Wayne (15-6) or the 4340 win over Wauseon (18-4). But, they’ve also had close calls against weaker opponents, hanging on to beat Swanton (10-13) 38-35 and letting Port Clinton (1-22) get to within two possessions in the fourth quarter in a 61-50 Comet victory.

Alt believes his team will be ready for whoever they face in the district tournament — again, if they got past Rossford. The first time the Comets and Bulldogs played, Genoa prevailed 66-41, but the second time it was closer, 67-54.

“The nice thing is there isn’t any lack of motivation anymore, right?” Alt said.

“You’ve got to get through the dog days of January and February, stop looking at people’s records and this and that. The focus now is basically ‘win.’ There’s nothing else to it.”

Who will step up?

Coach Zach Alt has seen other players besides Bench and Plantz step up when needed, and says that must continue into the tournament, like big men Nathan Lewis and Joey Dominique, both seniors. Lewis played a big role in the win over Wauseon.

Lewis is averaging 4.4 points and 4.3

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos.smugmug.com) rebounds and Dominique is contributing 2.7 points and 2.2 rebounds, and both are providing close to an assist per game.

“Nathan Lewis and Joey Dominique are two guys who provide some length for us on the defensive end and gives us a couple guys that the other teams have to guard defensively and gives us some protection inside and helps us rebound the basketball on both ends,” Alt said.

Junior Allen Laytart is another, scoring 11 points in the final regular season game, a 41-34 victory over Ottawa County rival Oak Harbor (14-9). Another player with length, Laytart is averaging 4.2 points and two rebounds.

“It gives us another dynamic,” Alt said. “The more guys we can put on the floor who can contribute — each guy finds a way to make a winning play and if they can contribute to each night, within their role. Allen is a guy who can score for us so he stepped up Saturday against Oak Harbor when we needed some offense and he was able to provide that.”

Alt says these are the guys who could make a difference when playing a tournament opponent with a deep roster.

They include senior Jacob Bradfield, who is averaging 2.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists, junior shooting guard Mike Rightnowar, who is averaging 6.7 points, 1.7 assists and two rebounds, and senior guard Caleb McGeorge, who is averaging 4.5 points despite missing some games because of an injury.

“The biggest thing is, regardless of the opponent, whether it’s Rossford or someone beyond that, we have to defend and rebound the basketball at a high rate and make sure we are rotating properly on the help side. Offensively, it’s just about finding the best team shot.

“Now, a lot of times, is that Jacob or Drew for us? Yeah, sure. But, you know, when other teams have guys who can take something away, we have to be able to find what they’re giving up as a result and try to take that away and do our best to expose that.”

D’Emilio, Contos reach milestones Only 14 Ohio wrestlers have ever reached 200 career victories, and three of them are from Genoa.

At the Division III sectional meet, Genoa senior Dylan D’Emilio (46-3) notched his 200th career win, joining his brother Damian and Jay Nino as the others from Genoa to reach 200.

“Dylan pinned his opponent in the quarterfinals in 31 seconds to secure his 200th win,” Genoa coach Bob Bergman said.

“Dylan is a top-shelf person in everything he does. Class, character, integrity and work ethic are important to him and our team follows his lead. His wrestling speaks for itself. He has been ‘Mr. Consistent’ for us and has piled on 136 pins in his career which is a program record. (Nino had 117 from 2012-15)” After the sectional tournament, Dylan was at 202 wins, tied with Damian, and only needs three more to pass Nino (205) as the program’s all-time career winner.

He had a chance to pass that at the district meet or the state meet.

Meanwhile, Genoa junior Kevin Contos (40-2) won his 100th career match at the sectional tournament.

“Kevin is on a mission and having a superb year,” Bergman said. “He has incredible strength, stamina and explosiveness.

“Mild mannered and even keeled, Kevin is unassuming until the wrestling starts. He has won several major tournament championships — Medina, PIT (Perrysburg Invitational), SMCC (Sandusky St. Mary) D-III Duals, Napoleon Duals, and sectionals,” Bergman continued.

“His only losses are to two top nationally-ranked wrestlers at the Ironman (Walsh Jesuit). Kevin won his 100th career match with a pin over John Gale of SMCC in 41 seconds.”

Bergman says there are certain factors which weigh into Emilio and Contos reaching their milestones, and they are not all achievements on the mat, either.

“Kevin and Dylan’s health consistency and work ethic has helped propel them to these impressive milestones,” Bergman said. “The best part is that Kevin and Dylan take the same level of excellence and consistency into the classroom as they each carry an accumulative 4.0 GPA.” On this year’s team there are seven wrestlers who have reached the 100-win mark entering the district tournament.

When the Eastwood girls basketball team found itself in a tight situation, it consistently answered the call.

The Eagles have found a way to be on the winning side of close games and claimed the Northern Buckeye Conference co-title for the second year in a row.

However, Thursday the 19-5 Eagles were nipped, 54-53, by 17-8 Woodmore in a Division III district semifinal at Lake.

Eastwood was led by 5-foot-10 junior guard Jamie Schmeltz, a three-year starter who is this year’s NBC Player of the Year and a first team selection. She led the NBC in scoring at 22.9 points per game and can rebound, too, averaging 7.3 caroms.

Schmeltz also averages 5.9 steals and 4.4 assists and could well be Eastwood’s alltime career scoring leader by the time her senior year comes to a close.

“She’s been blessed with tremendous athleticism and a good athletic body to go with that. You’ve seen and heard of other players that are really athletic but never quite reach their potential. Jamie works really hard, she plays basketball year-round.

She travels all over the Midwest (and) she has turned into a gym rat,” said Eastwood coach Nick Schmeltz, who happens to be Jamie’s brother.

“When your best player can be your hardest worker, you’ve got something good.

She’s been one of our hardest workers in the gym, in the weight room and in the classroom. She’s been blessed with pretty good teammates, they support her. It’s been neat to see the transformation. I still think the best is yet to come.”

Jamie Schmeltz isn’t the only reason for the club’s success. She was one of many Eagles who have consistently contributed and played well in big games.

There are three 5-8 forwards who contribute. Freshman Aubrey Haas, who also plays guard, averages 8.6 points and 3.4 rebounds, senior Hannah Owens, also a guard, averages 7.5 points and 5.3 rebounds and 5-8 junior forward Sydnie Abke averages 7.2 points and 7.0 rebounds. All three are honorable mention All-NBC selections.

Other key contributors include 5-6 guard Hannah Limes (6.6 pts, 3.2 rebs.), 5-5 freshman guard Kenna Souder (6.4 pts.) and 5-7 sophomore guard/forward Jaylee Souder (4.4 pts.).

“To be successful, your team is going to have different players do different things. What we’ve done is we’ve really tried to embrace and emphasize and be the best at their (individual) role,” said Nick Schmeltz.

“It starts with our senior, Hannah Owens. She is undersized, (but) she guards the other team’s post player. She can shoot the 3-pointer, she can dribble and finish around the basket,” Coach Schmeltz continued.

“Sydney Abke, she’s our Swiss army knife, her basketball I.Q. is off the charts.

She can match up with girls four to five inches taller than her. She reminds me of Kevin Love in terms of getting a fast break going off a rebound.

“Hannah Limes, the Souders, Aubrey Haas, any night, any one of those girls can go off for double digits. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. I think we’ve done a good job through 22 games of finding our player and getting the right matchup.

“You’re going to be as good as the players that you have. I think coaches get too much credit when they win and too much blame when they lose. We’ve been fortunate to bring some good classes in consecutive years. It’s important to have good classes back to back to back, that gives you a chance to piece together your lineup. We’ve had really good guard play the last few years, I think our guards are as good as anybody.

“Our girls have bought into basketball and made it priority. In that lull from 200814, basketball got put on the back burner.

That’s nobody’s fault. We’ve always had the athletes, now some of those athletes are

The Eagles, which finished 10-4 in the NBC, shared the league title with Elmwood and Lake. A 65-52 victory over Otsego clinched a share of the conference championship for Eastwood. Four Eagles scored in double figures — Schmeltz (21), Haas (12), Abke (12) and Owens (10) — and a number of players came through in the clutch.

Owens made a 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter to give Eastwood a 4440 lead heading into the fourth and Abke and Schmeltz put together a 7-0 run that pushed the Eagle lead from 49-46 to 56-46 late in the game.

Another big win was the 74-61 victory over Rossford on February 8 kept Eastwood in first place. Schmeltz led five players in double figures with 16 points. Haas finished with 14, Owens and Abke had 13 and Kenna Souder scored 10.

More than anything, Eastwood’s defense has been the key. The Eagles like to pressure teams into making mistakes and have been very successful in doing so this year.

“That’s our No. 1 thing, that’s what makes us go. We have to make up for some lack of height, so what we decided to do is pressure the heck out of teams. If you break the press, we’ll trap you in the frontcourt,” said Schmeltz. “To our girls’ credit, they’ve done a tremendous job of that. You can’t replicate what we do in practice. We’re so quick and athletic and long, (and) our basketball I.Q. has gotten better. Our defense leads to offense.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: What is success?

‘Cats get ‘hot’ in tourney

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com There’s nothing like getting hot — even lukewarm — heading into postseason play.

Woodmore’s girls basketball team won two of its last three games of the regular season, then carried that momentum into a Division III sectional tournamentopening win over Swanton. The Wildcats beat third-seeded Otsego in the finals to reach the district semis, where they upset Northern Buckeye Conference tri-champion Eastwood, 54-53, on Thursday at Lake.

‘We were up 10 with a little bit of time left and Eastwood made a run,” Woodmore coach Kyle Clair said. “(Eastwood junior) Jamie Schmeltz hit a deep three, then we got fouled and missed the foul shot. They came down and missed their final shot, so we kind of held on there at the end. We kept our composure against their pressure.

We shot well again tonight. We started off well again and we just rode our momentum. Defensively, we slowed them down when we had to.”

Sophomore forward Brooke Allen led Woodmore with 20 points and senior guard Nora LaMunyon added 13. Junior guard Jamie Schmeltz, the NBC Player of the Year, scored a game-high 22 points to lead the Eagles.

The Wildcats’ last three games prior to tournament play were a 62-42 win over Lakota, a 47-38 loss to Rossford and a 47-21 win at Genoa. Woodmore, which returned four starters from last year’s 10-win team, ended the regular season 14-8 and 7-7 in the NBC. “We had progressively been playing well as the regular season ended,” Clair said. “The Rossford game, we had a poor shooting night. We got shots and did a good job defensively, but shots weren’t falling.

We moved on quickly to the Genoa game, which was a makeup game on a Saturday. I didn’t want it to be a trap game; it was the final game for Genoa’s seniors. We executed from start to finish, and that was a good precursor heading into the postseason.”

Woodmore, the No. 6 seed, won its sectional opener against Swanton, 53-42, on Feb 19.

“We got out of the gate really well,” Clair said. “Swanton had some injuries,

but they had a couple of sophomore guards who are excellent and they were great shooters. I had seen them the Saturday before against Otsego and they handled Otsego pretty well. I thought we were really prepared. It was great to see the kids starting to see what they’re capable of. It’s been contagious.”

The Wildcats, led by LaMunyon’s 20 points, kept the momentum going with a 56-40 rout of Otsego for the sectional championship. The two teams split their two regular-season games.

“Otsego came out in a 2-3 (zone), which leaves the perimeter open,” Clair said of the tourney win. “The first two games we didn’t shoot the ball well from three. This game we came out and hit our first 3-point shot and finished with seven threes, and we extended them a little bit. Our insideoutside game took us all the way through.”

Clair said several players have stepped up their game in recent weeks.

“Nora and Jordan Nighswander for sure,” he said. “They’re scoring and just being really physical on the defensive end.

Katie Brugger is showing her senior leadership and knowing where to get the ball when we want to get it someplace. She’s making plays and she’s stepped up her defensive game.”

Woodmore played Eastwood relatively even during the regular season, losing 5857 at home to the Eagles on Nov. 30 and losing 54-51 on Jan. 10 at Eastwood “We realized we can compete with them,” Clair said. “It wasn’t a gloomy outlook in the locker room. It was, ‘OK, we can do some things this year.’ It was a positive. The second game we lost by three, but we had to kind of fight back to get to that point. We were down 15 and fought back.

We turned the ball over way too much in both games, and that’s been a focal point.”

The ‘Cats faced top-seeded Delta in the district finals Saturday at Lake. Delta beat Rossford, 74-40, in Thursday’s second district semifinal.

“Delta is a really good pressure-oriented team,” Clair said. “They like to get after you like Eastwood does. They can shoot and it’s going to be tough, but we’ll be up to it.”

LaMunyon and Allen were both named second-team All-NBC earlier this week, while Brugger and Nighswander were honorable mention selections.

The personal success business is a significant part of our economy, with Americans spending literally billions of dollars every year in the hopes of figuring out how to be personally (and financially) successful.

Much of this enterprise is materialism at its worst, with clever hucksters convincing hopeful, often greedy, or unwary marks to part with their hardearned money in the hopes of getting rich. And while it certainly isn't fair to paint all of these success gurus with the same brush, it is worth asking what the point of all this success is about in the first place. How do

Northwood

the people selling success define it? Do they define success by nothing more than material prosperity? If so, they are defining it very narrowly, and are at odds with God's message of success. If success is nothing more than material prosperity, then Jesus and the prophets would have to be judged abject failures. On the other hand, if they define success as personal growth, meeting our individual goals, and living in harmony with God and our fellowman, then this is probably something worth attaining. You cannot serve both God and money. N.I.V Matthew 6:24
