Site to receive soil, debris

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Contaminated material removed from the former Brush Beryllium site near Luckey will be disposed of at the Waste Management Evergreen Landfill in Northwood and the U.S. Ecology Landfill in Wayne, Mich., the Army Corps of Engineers says in its March newsletter about the remedial project.

The material will be trucked south from the site on Luckey Road, west on Middleton Pike Road and then north on Interstate 75, according to the Corps of Engineers.

“The plan calls for trucks to avoid leaving the site during the early morning or late afternoon, when people are going to and from work, or when school buses are picking up or dropping off children,” the newsletter says.

Under its Former Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program, the corps has identified soils contaminated with beryllium, lead, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234, and uranium-238 as needing to be excavated and disposed off-site.

An initial cost estimate for removing the soil and related work was $59.4 million but after additional research the corps is estimating the cost will be closer to $244 million.

The corps attributes the higher cost to an increase in the estimated amount of contaminated soil, some of which is located beneath at least two buildings at the site that would have to be removed to fully address the contamination.

In all, the corps is estimating about 137,467 cubic yards of soil need to be excavated, including about 7,600 cubic yards of adjacent clean soil.

Another 47,858 cubic yards of contaminated building debris may also be removed.

Informational meeting set The corps will hold what it is calling an “availability session” on March 28 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. for residents in the Luckey area to view plans for cleaning up the plant.

The session will be held at the American Legion Post 240, 335 Park Dr. Corps personnel will be at the session to answer questions and there will be project posters on display but there will not be a formal presentation.

The site was used to process beryllium in the early 1950s and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission sent about 1,000 tons of radioactive scrap metal there for processing magnesium. Although it was never used, the scrap was stored on site. Records also indicate that beryllium scrap – some radioactive - from other AEC operations was sent to Luckey for reprocessing.

In 1959, the AEC contracted with Brush Beryllium Co. to close the facility.

Two years later, the site was purchased by Aluminum and Magnesium, Inc. and in 1968 Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. bought the site.

In 1987, the property was transferred to Motor Wheel Corp. Former Motor Wheel executives bought the site and formed Continued on page 4

New senior living complex planned in Oregon The Oregon Planning Commission has granted a conditional use for the development of a senior residential complex on three parcels on Munding Drive.

The development backs up to I-280 to the south, according to James Gilmore, commissioner of Building and Zoning. The site is adjacent to the Orchard Villa nursing home.

The zoning on the parcel is C-2 General Commercial to the west, and R-3 multifamily on two parcels to the east. The C-2 zoned portion requires a conditional use for multi-family use.

Plans call for the development of 57 units, with 12 cottages in the rear and 45 one - and two - bedroom units in a four-story main building with an elevator at the front. The $11 million complex would be

age restricted to seniors 55-years old and older.

St. Mary’s Development Corporation, of Dayton, plans on buying the property, which is currently owned by Mercy St. Charles Hospital, and developing the complex.

Pete Schwiegeraht, with Miller Valentine Group, a consultant for St. Mary’s Development Corporation, said there was a search of several sites across the city to find a location with the best fit and opportunity for seniors in the area to have access to services and amenities. The Munding Drive site was chosen due to its connectivity and accessibility to the hospital and other senior care services in the area. “Having that connectivity is obviously the perfect scenario,” said Schwiegeraht.

The site also fits well with the city’s current concept to create a downtown center for Oregon. Part of that concept is a proposal for a walkable retail district in the area, Gilmore said after the meeting.

Schwiegeraht said there would be many unique amenities at the complex, including on-site management, service coordination, a business center, fitness center, theater, clinic, and community room on the first floor of the building that will be avail-

able to residents. Activities and programming include curb-to-curb transportation, in-home meals and housekeeping.

The main building will be near the street toward the front with parking in the rear. Trees to the rear will be preserved next to open space to create walking trails and other amenities for residents.

While the development is in partnership with St. Mary’s Development Corporation, a non-profit company that works throughout the state, the complex will be a for-profit entity that will create new taxes for the city.

Oregon OK’s Volunteer Energy as natural gas supplier

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

The Wizard of Oz

Oregon City Council approved an agreement with Volunteer Energy to be the city’s natural gas aggregation supplier for two years beginning in April.

The agreement was negotiated by the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition (NOAC), of which Oregon is a member.

NOAC, formed in 2003, is an aggregation of governments that negotiate electric and gas purchases to save consumers costs on their utility bills. Since 2003, NOC has saved residents and small businesses in the aggregation millions of dollars in their natural gas bills versus the Columbia Gas tariff price.

On a yearly basis, NOAC evaluates and makes recommendations as to whether communities should enter into agreements with managed programs. NOAC, through Palmer Energy, solicited proposals from 11 potential suppliers for a new supply of natural gas, according to Law Director Melissa Purpura. Volunteer Energy and Constellation Energy responded to the proposals. After a thorough review, it was determined, as recommended by Palmer Energy, that the proposal of Volunteer Energy be accepted to provide the most cost savings to consumers.

The city’s current natural gas contract is about to expire.

It is estimated that the contract will save NOAC customers about $740,000 annually. Volunteer’s estimated savings per

household will average about $17 per year.

Opt-out letters will be mailed later this month to all households in Oregon. Those who do not want to be part of the NOAC negotiated contract with Volunteer Energy must sign and return the opt-out letter.

City Administrator Mike Beazley said there are representatives from natural gas suppliers going door to door to solicit customers. “The best way to save is to stay in the aggregation plan,” he said. “There’s not many things that local government can do to save money for our residents. That saved money will be available to pay for goods and services here, and we feel good about that.”

City council in February approved a three-year agreement with FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. to act as the city’s electricity aggregation supplier.

The rate was also negotiated by NOAC. The three year term starts in June of this year to June of 2020.

Besides Oregon, NOAC is currently comprised of the following member communities: Northwood, Toledo, Lucas County Commissioners representing the unincorporated areas of Lucas County, the board of township trustees for Lake and Perrysburg townships, Maumee, Perrysburg, Rossford, Sylvania, Waterville, the villages of Holland and Ottawa Hills.

Each member community has input and responsibility within the coalition, with the two largest members, Toledo and Lucas County, taking the lead on most coalition matters.

Credit union to open at Clay High School In an effort to educate students about the importance of financial literacy, Toledobased Sun Federal Credit Union has plans to open an office at Clay High School during the 2017-18 school year. It will be the first student-run credit union branch in Northwest Ohio.

It is part of a collaboration that came about from a discussion between Dean Sandwisch, the school's Director of Business Affairs, and Jennifer Compton, the credit union's Director of Business Development.

The goal is to give teenagers a greater appreciation for opening a bank account, balancing a checking account and spending money in a responsible manner, all while learning to save and develop vital job skills.

"This partnership will allow students access to real-time and real-world functionality in dealing with their money. So many of the real-world applications are lost at times -- using a bank is now computer-based, for example," said Hal Gregory, Superintendent of Oregon City Schools. "Sun Federal wants to help our kids understand (financial literacy). Kids can start building credit at a younger age and open up a traditional savings account.

"Having Sun Federal employees in our hallways and providing access to (financial services) for our kids is key. The uniqueness of our partnership with Sun Federal is the branch will be run by Clay students, who will also market the credit union to fellow students. This helps with employability skills for the kids -- they go through a full interview, complete a resume and fill out an application. There's going to be an ATM, and the students will help educate other students how to use it. I'm excited about the fact that Sun Federal will make this project exciting for our kids."

Compton, who also credited the school's economics teacher, Keith Dunbar, for his efforts, has worked with the school in the past as a guest lecturer educating students on finances. Oregon City Schools has a partnership with Sun Federal Credit Union who has offered staff & students financial education for over 23 years. This legacy relationship began when Oregon teachers started the Oregon Federal Credit Union back in 1957 to ensure the staff at Oregon City Schools had a fair way to save and borrow money. It is now Sun Federal and we are committed to financial education.

"It's about the things behind the finances that people don't think about. For example, if a student gets paid $10/hour, they don’t get all of that money, a portion is taken out to pay taxes. We want students to understand basic finances. Also, the students need to know that direct deposit is an option for getting paid. Some students employed at local fast food restaurants are being pushed to use 'pre-fillable employment cards,' which is basically a prepaid

They feel empowered to understand these things.

debit card with a lot of fees. There are basic financial products/services that students should know about so that they are not taken advantage of," said Compton. "Once you start talking to them about money, it opens doors; they feel empowered when they understand these things. Students are anxious to learn, understand and gain the tools and abilities on a small scale. We’re creating a safe environment where a senior can teach a junior (about finances). We have a great partnership with Clay High School & Oregon Schools and bringing a credit union to Clay was a no-brainer because our partnership is deep."

Compton and Stacie LaFaso, a Member Service Specialist for SFCU, recently visited a student-run credit union at the high school in Piketon, which is located 21 miles south of Chillicothe. This is the model being used to develop the branch at Clay.

"I've always had a passion for teaching students. It's good to get out of the office and do something with with these up-and-coming students who are eager to learn," said LaFaso. "It's rewarding to see the light bulb go off for them."

SFCU has an interesting history. The company was founded in 1950 to serve Sun Oil employees with $100 in a cigar box. Ten years later, SFCU had nearly $100,000 in assets, and in '64, that number reached $1 million. The value of the company continued to rise, reaching $3.6 million in assets in '75, $10 million in '79 and $25 million

in '85 after merging with Sun Employees Credit Union of Philadelphia. Six years later, a branch opened in accordance with the Philadelphia Refinery, and in '95, eclipsed $100 million in assets. The organization accumulated nearly $481 million in assets after last year.

SFCU has four branches in the area -two in Toledo (Executive Parkway, Monroe Street) and one in Maumee and Oregon (1917 Pickle Road) -- as well as nationwide ATM fee refunds.

Like Gregory and Compton, Principal Jim Jurski sees it as an opportunity for students to not only develop job skills but also a chance to gain experience in a professional setting, traits that could make someone valuable to an employer in the future.

"This provides first-hand experience for a job. It's great experience for a 17- or 18-year-old that they can put on a resume.

And they can develop employability skills -people use the phone a lot today, but this requires you to interact face-to-face and gives you knowledge of how to deal with people," said Jurski, who is thrilled that the school's marketing program will assist with marketing the credit union. "This will help them learn how to survive (in a financial sense).

They can learn to understand interest rates while obtaining basic information about credit cards and balancing a checking account. The students will realize that this is relevant. Sometimes they'll take a class and ask, 'When am I going to use this?'"

Oregon City Schools has been rather innovative when compared to many schools in northwest Ohio. Clay started a partnership with Mercy Medical Partners in 2014 to provide the school with a health care center.

The school district also has three windmills and solar panels installed on the campus of its schools, and most recently, air conditioners were installed as part of a thoughtful approach to making the facilities more efficient. According to the district's website, the wind turbines generate 1.1 megawatts and the solar panels provide 450 kilowatts of energy.

Woodmore School audit finds overpayments The Woodmore Local School District mistakenly overpaid three employees by a combined $3,411, according to a report released Thursday by the state auditor.

The audit covers the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016.

The district offered annual payments of $500 to employees who worked between 20 and 25 hours per week if they waived health, dental and life insurance coverage.

Lunchroom employee Vickie Shue worked 17.5 hours per week but received the payments over four years for a total of $2,000.

The district issued another $500 payment in 2015 to Kelly Maynard, also a lunchroom employee, despite her only working 10 hours per week.

In a separate matter, two paychecks issued to educational aide Ashley Kaylor were calculated at an hourly rate of $18.90 instead of the correct rate of $11.47 per hour. The paychecks also included an additional 40 hours of pay per check that Kaylor did not work, resulting in a total overpayment of $1,972.

Kaylor entered into a repayment plan in February 2016, agreeing to repay the amount through eight payroll deductions of $246.58. However, she left the district after repaying only $1,061.

Findings for recovery in the amounts of $2,000, $500 and $911 were issued against Shue, Maynard and Kaylor, respectively.

Farmers’ forum set Farmers and interested parties will gather Tuesday, March 21 from 7-9 p.m. in the auditorium at Otsego High School, 18505 Tontogany Creek Rd., Tontogany, to consider the implications and needed actions in the Maumee Watershed to the toxic algae problem in Lake Erie.

Several panelists will be on hand to provide information and answer questions including Jeffrey Reuter, retired director of the Ohio State Stone Lab and current special advisor to Ohio Sea Grant program; Joe Logan, president of the Ohio Farmers Union; Verna Harrison, conservation leader in the Chesapeake Bay Region and former executive director of the Keith Campbell Foundation; Greg LaBarge, of OSU Extension and Meindert VanDenHengel, who runs a large family-owned hog farm in Van Wert County.

The program is sponsored by the Ohio Farmers Union and St. Rose Peace and Justice. Admission is free.

Lead maps available Maps identifying lead service lines across the state have been released by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

Uretech International, Inc. in 1995.

The current property owner, Industrial Properties Recovery, LLC , an industrial scrapping business, purchased the property in 2006 and began demolishing several buildings including the former annex building, according to a history of the site compiled by the corps.

In December 2006, the Ohio Department of Health ordered IPR to cease the demolition of buildings and handling of any radioactive material.

The Wood County Health District deemed the site a public health and safety concern and the Wood County Common Pleas Court issued an injunction against IPR in June 2009, requiring the company to either demolish or make necessary repairs to site structures and salvage or properly dispose of all debris. The company resumed demolition and salvage activities during late 2013, including partial demolition of a former production building.

In December 2013, the health department issued another order for the company to cease the removal of material from the site unless it has been confirmed as not having radioactive contamination.

In January 2014, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency issued an order to halt demolition of site buildings until the company complies with state asbestos and air quality regulations.

Public Service Director Paul Roman said the city is looking at getting rid of some of the setback requirements for new development in the area. It is more attractive for new development to feature buildings closer to the road with parking in the back in that district.

Miller Valentine Group has developed similar senior projects in Perrysburg, Sylvania and Whitehouse.

On the corner of Isaac Streets Drive

and Munding Drive is an open green space.

As this area becomes a downtown center, there might be a desire from the city’s perspective to have some signage denoting the district, according to Schwiegeraht. The developer plans to work with the city to determine what they would want out of that space and even have funds set aside that they would be willing to contribute toward streetscaping, landscaping, and hardscaping.

Mayor Mike Seferian, who sits on the Planning Commission, expanded on the vision for a downtown and said the administration was pleasantly surprised to hear about the plans for the senior residential complex because it fits into the downtown concept.

Schwiegeraht told The Press last Wednesday that the monthly rent at the complex will range from $500 to $750.

“We’re applying for funding right now, that’s the key piece” he said. “Getting the conditional use is the first step. If our funding comes through, we’ll likely start construction next January or February.

Units will become available in January or February of 2019.”

The Project Review Board has reviewed the designs and has no objections to the proposed conditional use.

The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve the Conditional Use request with the stipulation there are to be no more than 60 units in the development.

Lake Twp.

Chief wants forum on patrol law

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A state law that amends jurisdictional rights of law enforcement agencies for patrolling highways is set to go in effect next month and that makes Mark Hummer, the police chief in Lake Township, more than a little nervous – and frustrated.

When the new law becomes effective, it will eliminate provisions in the Ohio Revised Code that prohibit township police officers from making traffic arrests on highways and state roadways that are classified as part of the national highway system – with the exception of interstate highways; they remain out of the jurisdiction of officers in smaller townships.

With I-280 crossing through Lake Township where there are four exits/entrances, Chief Hummer is wary of not being able to patrol a major artery at a time when opiate abuse and human trafficking are major concerns.

Currently, township officers have arrest authority in vehicle-related offenses on state or U.S. highways if the population is greater than 50,000 residents. The Ohio State Highway Patrol and county sheriff departments generally have jurisdiction for offenses committed on state highways outside of municipal corporations.

HB 378, signed by Gov. John Kasich in January, grants township officers in townships of 50,000 or less the authority to make arrests on U.S. and state highways, but the bill doesn’t grant them power to make traffic arrests on interstate highways.

When State Rep. Steve Hambley, R-Brunswick, a co-sponsor of the bill, offered testimony in December to the Senate Local Government Committee, he acknowledged that the authority to patrol interstates was withheld from smaller township departments to appease the Buckeye State Sheriffs’ Association.

Removing that authority from the bill while it was pending in the House of Representatives resulted in the sheriffs’ association dropping its opposition, Hambley

told the senate committee. He noted there are more than 1,300 townships in the state, but only seven exceed the 50,000 person threshold currently written in the revised code.

With the new law pending, Chief Hummer is calling for a public forum with Perrysburg Township to discuss its ramifications.

He plans to invite Wood County commissioners, the county prosecutor, State Sen. Randy Gardner and state representatives Steve Arndt and Theresa Gavarone and Wood County sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn, who is president of the BSSA and offered testimony against the smaller townships while the bill was pending in the legislature.

“This will be a very civil meeting to hear the sheriff’s opposition and to offer our opinions…” Hummer says in a memo to the Lake Township trustees. He also addressed the Perrysburg Township trustees Wednesday to float his plans for a forum.

Perrysburg Township Police Chief Mark Hetrick on Thursday said his department and the trustees support holding a forum.

He described the limitation on township departments as a “silly antiquated law that has no place in 21st century policing.”

The bill stems from an Ohio Supreme Court decision involving a 2011 traffic stop on I-280 in Lake Township.

A township officer saw a car cross a lane marker and, after pulling the vehicle over, about 120 oxycodone pills and a small bag of marijuana were found in the car when a drug-sniffing dog alerted to the vehicle.

The driver pled no contest in Wood County Common Pleas Court to a drug offense and was sentenced to a three-year prison term. But he appealed the decision and in 2013 the appeals court ruled the officer violated sections of the Ohio Revised Code that specify marked lane violations on interstate highways are within the jurisdiction of the Ohio State Highway Patrol and sheriff departments.

In June 2015, the Ohio Supreme Court upheld the appellate court decision.

March, 1997 News: An East Toledo couple who grew up in Birmingham purchased the first new house built in East Toledo in 25 years. The couple bought the Utah Street house from Housing East for $84,000. The new home had immediate benefits for those living on the same block, stated Paul Hecklinger, president of Housing East. The non-profit organization renovated a house across the street that couldn’t sell for $35,000 the previous year. Two appraisals put the house value at $51,000 to $56.000.

Sports: The East End Ladies Traveling League, which was formed in 1956, announced it would disband after 40 years bowling in East Side alleys from Eastgate Lanes and All Star Lanes to The Palladium and the Toledo Sports Center.

The league, which was founded with 80 women bowlers, could only field 15 in its final season. *** The Toledo Bowling Association reported that perfect 300 games had been on the rise--from 124 in the 1992-93 season to 272 in the 1996-97 season, as of March 17.

Technology was cited as the main reason.

Resin bowling balls hit the pins harder and performed more consistently than polyurethane and plastic balls used by bowlers in the past. A better system to evenly oil the lanes was also cited.

March, 1987 News: America’s oil will run out in 2020, claimed a detailed computer evaluation entitled Beyond Oil: The Threat to Food and Fuel in the Coming Decades. The 300-page report was produced by Carrying Capacity, an organization affiliated with the University of New Hampshire. The study predicted that by 1997 we would import two-thirds of oil from OPEC and we would not be able to export food beyond 2000, due to modern farming practices that depend on oil.

The study recommended the country raise fuel taxes, enact conservation measures, fuel-efficiency standards and increase the use of renewable energy.

The authors concluded that per capita wealth would decline by 2020 and threaten the nation’s basic social and political fabric.

As food and fuel costs escalated, Americans would have less money for entertainment and leisure. *** Michael Benton, Gibsonburg police chief, received more than 30 phone calls and a few visits from residents objecting to a male dance troupe, The Men of Burlesque,

Yes No

Tammy Muncy Northwood “The new Bruno Mars song ’That’s What I Like.’ He sang it at the Grammys. It just has a great beat and great lyrics.”

Alex Spangler Oak Harbor “Probably ‘The Way I Talk’ by Morgan Wallen. It hits home.”

Resist the temptation To the editor: It’s that time of year again, when the feed companies have live ducklings for sale in their stores.

Those ducklings sure are cute, but they’re not meant to go in your children’s Easter baskets. They are meant to live on farms.

Those ducks look a lot like wild mallards, but they’re not. Wild mallards are federally protected animals, and it’s illegal to own or sell them. What the feed stores are selling is a mallard offshoot that has been bred for domestic use. They can’t fly and they don’t have any ability to survive in the wild. When Easter is over, and people find out how big and noisy and poopy these ducks become, they often dump them at lakes, rivers, and local ponds, where they will ultimately be killed by raccoons, coyotes, and neighborhood dogs.

So please resist the temptation to put live ducklings in those Easter baskets, and get your kids what they really want - candy!

Quarry experiment To the editor: The old Stoneco Quarry on State Route 590 in Graytown was purchased by Rocky Ridge Development, LLC, where RRD has been bringing spent lime from the Toledo Collins Park Water Treatment Plant and disposing of it on the quarry grounds by mixing it with soil from the property.

RRD has applied to the Ohio EPA for a permit to de-water and dispose of the spent lime/soil mixture in the quarry pit itself and residents rightly fear it will migrate into the groundwater that feeds all area wells.

RRD’s application to the Ohio EPA details its plan to completely de-water and then fill the quarry pit with an estimated 3.6 million cubic yards of the spent lime/ soil mixture, also stating they may use

Maumee River dredging as the mix soil once they use all of the on-site soil.

RRD’s application approval would be the first time a quarry has been used to dispose of spent lime from a water treatment facility (this is stated in the July 22, 2016 application). There is no precedent for either party to know what the long term ramifications are for spent lime/dredging contaminants leaching into the surrounding soil/groundwater.

Do we want this land and aquifer to be an experiment without any long term testing and/or consent from the people who drink, live and farm the land? Contamination of the aquifer would be irreversible – it cannot be undone or “fixed.”

We must appeal to our elected officials to protect our groundwater, and eventually Lake Erie, from irreversible contamination and stop the Ohio EPA

from approving RRD’s application.

We do not want Northwest Ohio/ Ottawa County to join the ranks of the “Flint, Michigan water poisoning” fiasco.

Take care when addressing your false accusations What do you do when other people unjustly accuse you of behavior, ulterior motives, or scheming? If you have been in this situation you know how frustrating it is. Often it doesn’t matter what you say in your defense. Your response to these unfair assertions falls on deaf ears, failing to have any positive impact.

Striving to protect your reputation is a natural response to being maligned. This defense mechanism to an attack is innate.

Your goal is to correct any mischaracterizations. Unfortunately, engaging the offending party may actually worsen the situation, with an increased fuselage of false accusations.

There are various motivations for why a person would hurl false accusations at you. They include jealousy, insecurity, anger, low self-image, a feeling of superiority, wanting to upset you, or a desire to damage your reputation. It’s not uncommon for people to accuse you of behavior they themselves are guilty of.

Their motivation is actually irrelevant.

The significant issue is your response.

Becoming embroiled in endless defenses of yourself typically fuels the accusers behavior. The trap is your desire to rebut their

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden false accusations. The more you defend yourself, the more you are attacked.

A defense is effective when the offender is simply misinformed without any malicious intentions. In this case, responding with the correct information has a positive impact. Another instance where a vigorous defense is effective is when a relevant third party is involved.

For example, if a coworker makes false accusations to your boss impugning your honesty, you must defend your reputation to your boss. However, if that same coworker made these allegations to you directly, you needn’t say more than, “that’s not true at all.”

An effective strategy for handling false accusations is rising above the fray. Are you going to change the opinion of the accuser? Does their opinion really matter anyway? More often than not, the answer

to both questions is “no.” Therefore, ignoring these people is warranted.

Keep in mind that those who level false accusations can be guilty of the very same behavior they are accusing you of.

So, someone who accuses you of ulterior motives may likely have their own ulterior motives. Through their accusations of you, they put you on the defensive, while masking their own behavior.

You can’t control what other people think or say. All you can control is your response. Always being honest and ethical in all you do puts you in the wonderful position of never having to be concerned about what you have done. Additionally, you are building a great reputation.

It doesn’t matter what someone else may accuse you of. You are not obligated to become entangled in their aberrant behavior. Yet, it’s easy to get caught off guard. A good way to prepare for this is by visualizing your response to someone making false allegations before an actual situation arises.

You don’t have to prove anything.

False accusations by family members are especially irritating. You have a strong desire to set them straight by giving them a piece of your mind. Doing so indicates that

Some thoughts and feelings on your indecisive path Question: Sure could use your advice on “indecision.” The older I get the harder it is to decide what path to take. I always do a “pro and con” list but still don’t ever feel confident in my “pro” column. I’m a full time RVer (made the jump 2 years ago) but now have grown comfortable in my new vicinity. But there are so many places I want to explore – a difficult choice for a single man approaching 65. And it can be more costly.

Thanks Bryan.

Answer: Indecision occurs because we don’t want to make the wrong decision. As we get older, we feel there is not enough time to do things over if we make the wrong choice. This puts more pressure on us to get things right the first time.

Making a pro and con list is always a good analysis tool which helps provide a measure of objectivity. Your decisions must be based on your own needs, desires, likes, and strengths. So the more you know about yourself and where you want to go, the easier it is to choose the right path.

Discussing your options with friends and family is common. As well-meaning as they may be, their opinions are based on their view of the world. Advice they provide is biased by their experiences, likes, and desires. Their suggestions are based on who they are.

You have to follow your own heart.

One of the biggest regrets of people in their later years is that they should have done more.

After making your list of pros and cons, ask yourself, “What do I really want to do?”

The answer points you in the right direction. If something doesn’t work out as expected, you can always make a change.

Life is a fluid series of experiences. The more experiences you have, the richer your life. Don’t allow fear to stop you. When analyzing your various options, ask yourself what’s the worst that could happen?

Usually the worst case scenario isn’t really that bad.

Figure out what you want to do and then go do it. Change your mind as needed.

As you start making decisions, your level of indecision will drop. Before you know it, you will be looking forward to making decisions.

you are annoyed by their behavior, which encourages them to continue.

Your objective is to avoid getting bogged down chasing false accusations, regardless of their source. It’s not worth your time. Keep in mind that rarely will anything positive result from your efforts. You’ll just become more frustrated, stressed, and angry.

Let false allegations slide right off of you. Ignoring the offender is surprisingly effective. Don’t make their problem yours.

You have better things to do with your time.

Job fair attendees are asked to park in the Broadway parking lot, enter through the Zoo gates and follow the signs to the Museum of Science. Zoo parking and admission fees will not apply. Business casual attire is preferred. Attendees are requested to bring multiple copies of their professional resume or a completed Zoo application, available at toledozoo.org/jobs. The last walk-in time will be 6:45 p.m.

Most positions require a minimum age of 16, however, some require candidates to be 21 with a valid driver’s license. Those interested must be able to work flexible hours including weekends and holidays.

Some positions may also require working in all weather conditions, the ability to stand for extended periods of time and extensive walking.

For questions regarding the job fair, email toledozoojobfair@toledozoo.org.

Attendees can also refer to the “Jobs” tab on the Zoo website (toledozoo.org).

The Toledo Zoo provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetics.

VA benefits available

The Department of Veterans Affairs is offering benefits to military veterans who were exposed to tainted water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Benefits are available to former service members including veterans, reservists and National Guard members, who served at least 30 days (cumulative) at Camp Lejeune between Aug. 1, 1953 and Dec. 31, 1987 who have been diagnosed with any of the following eight conditions – adult leukemia, aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or Parkinson’s disease.

To apply for the benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs for the above conditions, contact the Ottawa County Veterans Service Office at 419898-2089 or visit the office at 8444 W. SR 163, Oak Harbor.

Building purchased Nearly four years ago, Catawba resident Helen Harris left the proceeds of her property to The Salvation Army of Ottawa County to go toward the purchase of a building.

Work is under way on the building, located at 1834 East Perry St., Port Clinton (the Old Thayer Building). “We are humbled by the trust and confidence Mrs. Harris had in The Salvation Army and our mission to meet human needs and have been extremely diligent and prudent in making the decision to purchase this building,” said Maureen Saponari, Salvation Army director.

“Once this building project is completed, The Salvation Army of Ottawa County will be able to utilize the space to operate all of our programs and services under one roof and meet the needs of our Ottawa County neighbors more efficiently,” Saponari said.

Severe Weather Week Many Ottawa County schools, healthcare facilities and other public and private organizations will be conducting training and drills during the week of March 1925, which is designated as Spring Severe Weather Awareness Week.

A key activity during the week will be a statewide test of weather warning dissemination and preparedness procedures. The test will be conducted at 9:50 a.m. Wednesday, March 22. The Ottawa County siren system will be activated for three minutes, and the sheriff’s dispatch will broadcast a test message to police, fire and EMS departments. In addition, the National Weather Service will activate weather alert radios.

The county will also test its wireless emergency notification system, which alerts residents via cell phones in the event of an emergency. To sign up for the service, text your ZIP code to 888-777.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Cultivate Better Family Relations The advice to cultivate better relationships with our family is easy to overlook. We often take our family members for granted. Children often assume that their parents are under an obligation to help them, even when these children have long since entered adulthood. Parents can be equally guilty of taking their children for granted, and sibling rivalry can sometimes be the source of violent conflict. The story of Cain and Abel expresses deep truths about the dynamics within every family. Every family has its sources of tension and conflict, and even the closest families may have conflicts that produce deep divisions. The more time that we spend with

Genoa

people, the more likely they are to grate on us—and we on them—and for that reason alone it is important that family members exercise care and consideration in how they interact with each other. It is not for nothing that we refer to God as our father and Jesus as the son of God, making him our brother.

The family and the relationships which are nurtured therein provide the basis and a template for every other relationship.

“Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” —1 Timothy 5:8 NIV

Mohican beauty beckons anglers, nature lovers Natural Wanders

by Art Weber

“

But the best fishing is from April 1 to June 30, after that the water starts getting warm and you have to go hunt them.

“

If you’re a spring river angler, you have to be nuts to want to go any further than the Maumee River when the walleye are running, arguably the best walleye fishing in the nation.

Heck, lots of others travel a long way for the experience – Metropark rangers have logged license plates from virtually every state in the union and most Canadian provinces. You’ll see them packed in along River Road at Side Cut Metropark.

But if something really different beckons, not far from here is a beautiful trout stream – one of our state’s precious few trout streams – that flows cold and clear through one of Ohio’s most magnificent gorges.

Sure, you can go before or after the walleye run. The stream is a beautiful place to go any time of the year, and it’s a great place to visit whether you’re an angler or not.

Picture a beautiful stream gurgling as it rushes over rocks while a morning mist hangs, as it often does, adding a wild, mysterious feel to the setting.

The recommendation here is that you rent one of the 25 remodeled state park cabins that stand right along one of the best stretches of the river to fish.

You rise at the break of day, put on your waders, and pick up your fly rod. You can hear the stream inside the cabin, but it’s louder when you open the door, luring you irresistibly to walk the dozen or so yards into the shallow rushing waters.

You feel the cold water through the waders, pause to breathe the clean, heavy air and drink in the moment. And then you start casting into the cold, transparent waters, the stream’s bottom of well-worn stones dappled in the refracted light of the morning. For a fly-fisherman it really doesn’t get much better than that.

The state park is Mohican, the river is the Clear Fork of the Mohican, and the gorge is the Clear Fork Gorge, a National Natural Landmark.

It’s a landmark for good reason. You’ll believe it while you’re wading in the stream, and any doubt will be erased if you take the time to go up to the rim and look over and into the 300 foot-deep gorge that stands a thousand feet wide. Birds of prey – mostly red-tailed hawks and turkey vultures – ride the thermals created by the gorge, giant ancient hemlocks crowd the shores at the base of the gorge, a relic of the much colder times that prevailed after the last glacier. In their cool shade, 15 species of warblers thrive.

Your focus for fishing is a half-mile stretch of briskly flowing stream that drops a full five feet over that short distance. That same flow makes all the streams in Mohican country popular with canoeists and tubers.

No one knows the Clear Fork and its brown trout better than veteran stream guide Ron Kyle.

“I start as soon as the water goes down in March,” Kyle said. “But the best fishing is from April 1 to June 30, after that the water starts getting warm and you have to go hunt them. The fishing gets good again in

“Dear Edwina, Junior” The Clear Fork of the Mohican flows shallow and fast below the Pleasantville Lake Dam. It’s scenic throughout that stretch and especially so right along the state park cabins. The stretch is a favorite for couples and families looking for a getaway, and in spring it’s one of the best of Ohio’s few fly-fishing streams.

He advised using a five-weight 7-1/2foot rod, weight-forward fly line, an eightfoot monofilament leader tipped with twopound tippet. The fly varies with the season and what the trout are feeding on. In fly fishing parlance your fly should “Match the Hatch.”

And if you’re not an angler, rent a cabin anyway and enjoy a weekend there. The

banks of the Clear Fork of the Mohican are a beautiful place to be anytime of the year.

What to ask before ordering, genetic testing You’ve probably seen a TV commercial at one time advertising a genetic test that you can order on your own. There are direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests out there for learning your ancestry, your carrier status (risks for having a baby with a genetic condition depending on your partner’s genetic status), predisposition to disease, as well as learning about different traits you may have.

It can be very appealing to order a test and submit a saliva sample from home, especially when the DNA analysis seems relatively cheap. Here are some things to consider in case you’re thinking about ordering your own genetic testing: Are you hoping to make medical decisions with this genetic test?

If you answer yes, I would recommend that you hold off on ordering the genetic testing. Consider speaking with a genetic counselor, or another genetics provider who can discuss implications of genetic testing with you.

If you answer no, then I would assume this type of testing is for ancestry. Many individuals are curious about “where they came from” and this type of testing may be able to provide answers.

Does the company have genetic counselors on staff that you can speak with?

If you’re going to undergo genetic testing without a clinical provider who has genetics knowledge, you may be able to speak with a genetic counselor on staff at the laboratory. While this can be helpful, they may not be able to give you as detailed information as a clinical genetics provider who knows a lot about your personal and family medical history.

Do you fully understand the extent of what information you will receive from this genetic testing?

It can be confusing to determine what kind of information you’re going to get from a genetic test. There are some instances where labs only look at certain parts of a gene and not the entire gene, which can give you an incomplete picture. A genetic counselor will let you know ahead of time what information you can expect to receive.

Sometimes a negative or “normal” genetic test result can be confusing without a genetics provider to explain what it means for you specifically. People with negative genetic testing results relevant to hereditary cancer may still be at an increased risk for certain types of cancer, depending on their family history. Even if a test

comes back “normal,” a person could still be recommended to have increased screening compared to the general population’s screening recommendations.

Is the laboratory CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) certified and CAP (College of American Pathologists) accredited?

There are certain standards that clinical laboratories are held to within the United States to ensure quality and safety.

Not all labs who are offering genetic testing directly to consumers meet these standards.

For more information on things to consider when it comes to direct to consumer genetic testing, check out the Federal Trade Commission’s website www.consumer.ftc. gov/articles/0166-direct-consumer-genetictests#genes).

Drivers asked to share the road with pedestrians, runners With just weeks until the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon, hundreds of runners can be found on area roads training for their big race.

As such, Mercy Health and members of the Lucas County Traffic Safety committee are advising drivers to keep an eye out for these runners on the road.

More than 4,000 pedestrians die every year after being hit by cars. Due to a recent increase in pedestrian fatalities in Lucas County, Mercy Health and Lucas County Traffic Safety are partnering to bring awareness to pedestrian safety.

The Lucas County Traffic Safety Program reports eight pedestrians were killed on roadways in 2016 in Lucas County, including one runner, and there have already been four pedestrian deaths

since Jan. 1, 2017.

“The number of pedestrian fatalities is up significantly in Ohio. It is so important to stay vigilant, both as a pedestrian and as a driver. Everyone must be alert, avoiding distractions, so they can arrive to their destination safely,” said Nicole Knepper, Trauma Education/Outreach/Prevention coordinator at Mercy Health-St. Vincent Medical Center.

To help keep Lucas County roadways safe, the committee recommends that drivers: • Focus on the road at all times.

• Put the phone down and drive alert at all times.

• When approaching crosswalks, reduce speed and be prepared to stop.

• Never pass a car stopped at a cross

walk.

• And never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol – this puts all drivers and pedestrians at risk.

Pedestrians also have a responsibility to stay safe on the roads. The Lucas County Traffic Safety program suggests these tips: • Stay visible. Wear light or reflective clothing at night and brightly colored clothing during the day.

• Stay alert. Put your phone down and do not wear headphones. Your eyes and ears will keep you safe.

• Never assume that vehicles will give you the right away. Try and make eye contact with drivers before you cross the street.

• Walk on sidewalks and if no sidewalks are available, walk facing traffic and as far away from traffic as possible.

“We must remind both pedestrians and drivers that it is their responsibility on the roadways as it specifically deals with pedestrian safety,” said Jamie Blazevich, traffic safety coordinator, Lucas County. “With distracted driving on the rise, pedestrians need to be more aware, now more than ever.”

More than 8,000 runners are expected to participate in the races of the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon on Sunday, April 23.

The Lucas County Traffic Safety Program is funded through a grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Traffic Safety Office and is administered by the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West.

Hayes Easter Egg Roll continues White House tradition Kids are invited to an afternoon of fun on Saturday, April 15, at the annual Hayes Easter Egg Roll, which replicates the White House Easter Egg Roll that Rutherford B. Hayes started when he was president.

The event, open to kids ages 3-10, will be held from 2-3:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Hayes Home at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums at Spiegel Grove.

Admission is free. Kids are asked to bring three hard-boiled, colored eggs for use in traditional egg games like those played at the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Hayes started the first White House egg roll in 1877. Before that, kids played egg games on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol building on Easter Monday.

Congress, however, banned the event because of the mess.

Undeterred, a young boy approached President Hayes just before Easter 1877 an asked if the egg games could take place at the White House instead. President Hayes agreed, creating a tradition at the White House that continues today.

For information, call 419-332-2081 or visit rbhayes.org.

Indonesia. The eruption had spewed ash into the atmosphere for four months causing a build-up in the atmosphere that reduced the amount of sunlight reaching the earth’s surface. When the ash clouds broke up and dispersed, temperatures returned to normal but not until they had produced a “year without a summer.”

Officially our comparatively-mild winter is about over and once again the mixture of warm weather, sunshine, and bird song ahead will stir up the green thumb in many of us. If you’ve never gardened or haven’t cracked a hoe or wielded a trowel in a while, why not consider growing some flowers or vegetables this year?

Try a variety of growing methods in your garden or yard. Grow some things from seed. Zinnias, marigolds and sunflowers are easily grown and do not have special requirements other than adequate sunshine, water, and decent soil. Radishes,

Even with the recent blast of winter, all things considered, what a warm and mild winter season this has been.

We officially usher in the spring season on Monday, March 20. Many of the spring bulbs already sprouted.

As warm as it had been, it is interesting to note that a very opposite weather phenomenon occurred in the summer of 1816. In the eastern region of the country, the summer of 1816 was called the “year without a summer.” New England, that year, experienced one of the coldest summers on record and temperatures through June, July and August broke records that have, as yet, never been matched.

Throughout the Northeast that year, the season began with a cool but relatively normal spring. However, by June 6, in Vermont, it snowed with below-freezing temperatures. Snow and cold weather continued throughout the eastern states through June until warmer weather returned – but only briefly. In July, the weather changed again and dropped to freezing. This freeze destroyed many crops and vegetation throughout the region. The cold weather that covered New England also affected Canada and parts of Europe during that 1816 summer.

What caused this extreme weather?

It was attributed to a volcanic eruption that had occurred the previous year in

continued from page 14 spinach and green beans are also easily grown and do not require a lot of space.

Along with your seed plants, put in some transplants for immediate colorful beauty. Also, try some summer-blooming corms and tubers for later flowering and foliage. Gladiolas along the back of a flower bed will add spiky height and color to your garden in mid-summer. Dahlias are actually easy to grow and offer lots of variety in size and hue, and caladiums are wonderful for splashes of leafy color in shady spots.

March garden tip: Tender plants that have started sprouting because of the warm temperatures may need the protection of mulch, leaves, etc. Top up the mulch around them to protect them from cold spells this month.

If you have garden questions or tips for

other gardeners, email dpl3@accesstoledo. com.

Parenting course offered The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resource Center will offer another session of its popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;ACT: Raising Safe Kidsâ&#x20AC;? class April 11-May 30.

The free course, which is held at the Center (1045 Klotz Rd., Bowling Green) will meet from 5:30-7:30 every Tuesday. Classes teach parents of young children positive forms of discipline and how to manage tantrums and fights. To make it easier for parents to attend, the Center provides child care and a family meal during each session. To register for the class or to learn more, contact Kristen Junga or Pam McKinley at 419-352-7588.

Endorsed by the American Psychological Association, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ACT: Raising Safe Kidsâ&#x20AC;? recognizes that most parents fall back on the childrearing methods their parents used. But those who were raised with harsh, physical discipline may be looking for alternatives. The class focuses on more positive, yet still effective ways of helping children deal with their feelings and manage their anger. Since children apply childhood lessons to their adult lives, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too early for them to learn peaceful ways to resolve conflicts.

Sunflowers, along with zinnias and marigolds are easy to grow and make good choices for beginning gardeners.

eddings are special moments for couples and the guests they invite to share their happiness on their big days. Beautiful weddings require substantial planning, as every last detail must be considered for couples to enjoy the wedding of their dreams.

Flowers play a big role in many weddings, and couples can add beauty and ambiance to the event by using floral arrangements in various ways. Modern floral arrangements are stunning, and many couples may not know that herbs, spices and flowers have been used in weddings for centuries.

Today, flowers are used to decorate wedding venues, impart sweet fragrances and complement formal attire, but in ancient times they were used differently.

Flowers were used to bestow good luck on the couple and keep bad omens away.

Brides carried aromatic flowers and spices to keep evil spirits from spoiling the festivities, and some even tucked bulbs of garlic into their bouquets.

In ancient Greece and Rome, both the bride and groom wore

garlands made out of strongsmelling herbs flowers around their necks or heads. These wreaths were considered gifts of nature, and thus extremely appropriate for a wedding.

Traditionally, bridesmaids would be responsible for fashioning these floral components. In ancient Sweden, young girls would carry small bouquets of fragrant herbs down the aisle and the groom would put thyme in his pocket. These aromatics were thought to help keep trolls at bay.

Besides warding off spirits or hungry trolls, flowers also served more practical purposes throughout history. During the Middle Ages, people bathed less frequently than they do today. Bathing might only have occurred twice a year, once during summer and then again at Christmastime. Because many weddings took place in the spring, flowers were used to mask bodily odors. Not only were flowers and herbs carried, but they also would be sewn into clothing.

Modern brides and grooms may no longer see their wedding days as times for opportunistic evil spirits. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that couples cannot borrow from ancient traditions

and incorporate flowers into their weddings in various ways.

Wreaths and garlands: Ask the florist to weave small flower buds, berries and vines to a headband, wreath or piece of twine so that the bride and groom can wear these flowers in the way they were worn by ancient Greeks and Romans.

When coupled with Grecianstyled wedding gowns, brides can look like beautiful goddesses on their wedding days.

Fragrant favors: Tuck dried rose petals and other fragrant flowers into sachets that are embroidered with the wedding date and coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names.

Guests can use these sachets to keep clothings smelling fresh in drawers or as subtle air fresheners around the house.

Edible flowers: Ask the caterer to make meals flower-friendly by including some edible blooms in the salad or as a garnish on meals.

Raining petals: In lieu of bubbles or birdseed, guests can shower the newlyweds with rose petals after the ceremony.

Memorial: Some couples like to honor departed family members. Floral arrangements with small placards can make for fitting memorials.

Three state champs make Comets state runners-up

By Mark Griffin and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com Taking second place in the team standings at the Division III state wrestling tournament is not easy, but Genoa took care of business last week at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus.

The Comets took five wrestlers and had three state champions and one runner-up to earn 95 points, second behind team champion Mechanicsburg (118½). Oak Harbor, which beat Genoa in the state duals and at the sectional and district tournaments, was third with 91.

The three state champions, all sophomores, are Oscar Sanchez (106), Dylan D’Emilio (113) and James Limongi (160).

They join Oak Harbor 220 pound senior Dylan Thorp as state champion and Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Wrestlers of the Year. For D’Emilio, it’s his second straight All-Press Wrestler of the Year Award.

“I’m happy for the kids,” said Genoa coach Bob Bergman. “Everything lined up for us. They stepped up and rose to the occasion. Oak Harbor is a great team and going toe-to-toe with them is a tough challenge.”

Second place was the highest ever for Genoa at the state tournament. The Comets were sixth last year and fifth in 2015. They graduate just two seniors off this year’s team.

“It was a special weekend,” Bob Bergman said. “It was a group effort, and to see everyone realize their potential was awesome. Finishing runner-up was the cherry on top. We have a lot of people moving in the same direction. It speaks about the quality of the people and the kids in our community. We’re hoping this is a catalyst for better things ahead.”

Bob Bergman is All-Press Coach of the Year, following his uncle, George Bergman, head coach at Oak Harbor who garnered the honor last year.

Limongi’s win in the 160-pound championship match clinched runner-up honors for Genoa. Limongi said he was aware that a win in the finals held such great importance for his team.

“We definitely wanted to beat Oak Harbor,” Limongi said. “It motivated me.

It kind of put pressure in the back of my mind, but once I stepped out onto the mat it was just another match. I wasn’t thinking about second place.”

Limongi won by the the narrowest of margins, beating senior Lance Miller of Covington, 1-0, in the championship match. Limongi, who recorded a secondperiod pin in the semifinals, had never wrestled Miller before.

“I didn’t know much about him for this tournament,” Limongi said. “He was definitely a good wrestler on his feet, and I escaped in the second period. He was a good neutral wrestler and I had to ride him out in the third period.”

Oscar Sanchez won a title for the Comets at 106 pounds, while D’Emilio became a two-time state champ when he won the crown at 113. D’Emilio was the 106-pound champion a year ago.

Sophomore Julian Sanchez, Oscar’s brother, took second place at 120 pounds while teammate Dustin Morgillo lost both matches. Morgillo, a freshman, finished with a 39-16 record.

“He was in a senior-dominated weight

class,” Bergman said. “He was the only freshman there and he held his own. He was in the thick of it. It was a great learning experience and I think the best is yet to come for Dustin.”

Just as special this year D’Emilio (53-2) pinned senior Greg Quinn of Shadyside in 5:52 in the 113-pound finals. Quinn entered the match with a 50-1 record. D’Emilio also had two first-period pins en route to the semifinals, where he won by a 5-0 margin.

D’Emilio said winning the state title this year was “equally as special” as winning last year.

“I’ve been to a lot of big tournaments,” he said, “so I was used to the atmosphere.

I kept myself in a zone before the matches and that helps me. I go out there and wrestle the way I know how and execute my moves and my style.”

Quinn was the state runner-up at 113 last season and, according to Bergman,

Genoa’s staff was “pretty concerned about him.”

“Watching him on some film, the kid was really good,” Bergman said. “He’s dynamic. We had a game plan, coach (Dom) D’Emilio and Dylan, and it was phenomenal how he wrestled flawlessly. Quinn’s a good scrambler and Dylan eliminated his scramble. He pinned him with a cradle in the last eight seconds. It was a momentum builder for us.”

Dylan said the key was to stay in good position during the entire match.

“I wrestled with the game plan and it paid off,” Dylan said. “He’s dangerous for some big moves, so I had to wrestle my style and stay in good position.”

Oscar Sanchez never had a chance to compete for a 106-pound state title last season, despite a 36-0 record. He was behind D’Emilio all season and had to bide his time for this year.

“It helped (watching last season) because it motivated me to practice harder,” Sanchez said. “I knew I was on those kids’ level and I didn’t have my chance last year because Dylan was ahead of me.”

Championship final rout Sanchez (49-4) earned a 14-2 major decision over freshman Wyatt Riddle of Legacy Christian Academy in the championship finals. The two had never wrestled before.

“I did pretty good controlling the pace of the match,” Sanchez said. “I wanted to score first and set the tempo. I set the tempo throughout the whole tournament.

I wouldn’t say I wrestled as good as I can, but I had a lot of fun. It was a great weekend.”

Sanchez also won by major decision and earned an 11-4 victory in the earlier rounds.

“He was lights out,” Bergman said. “He was a step ahead of every one of his competitors. He was in a zone. It was neat to see his dreams come to reality.”

Sanchez said he wasn’t surprised to come home with the first-place trophy.

“Going into it I thought I was the best wrestler there,” he said. “The only way I thought I could lose was to not wrestle well. I had to open it up, go out there and score. Being a state champ feels great.”

Limongi (37-2) won his last 35 matches to end the season. He took fifth at districts a year ago to fall short of qualifying for state.

“That was one of the motivators this year,” Limongi said. “I thought I was going to make it to state last year. This year we had tough practices and I needed reasons to work hard, and that was one of the reasons.”

Limongi said he “wrestled one of the best tournaments of my life,” last weekend, culminating with the 1-0 win over Miller in the finals.

“I went into the tournament hoping to do my best,” Limongi said. “It definitely was a little bit of a surprise, but not too much. I worked hard and I deserved it.

My confidence was definitely pretty high.

I hadn’t lost a match since December and I was feeling great. I was nervous my first match, but once I got that out of the way it

Oscar Sanchez was just a fun tournament with my team.”

Julian Sanchez (50-4), who placed sixth at 113 pounds a year ago, lost to junior Tommy Hoskins of Legacy Christian Academy, 8-3, in the finals. Hoskins won his third straight state title at 113.

“Julian had probably the most competitive weight class in Division III,” Bergman said. “Hoskins is one of best wrestlers in the country and Julian was with him neckand-neck. He had the lead for a while and then he got caught in a scramble. I’m proud of him. He had some awesome wins this weekend.”

Nick Henneman was paying attention.

The Clay senior was one of the favorites to bring home an individual state championship at 138 pounds at last week’s Division I state wrestling tournament at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus.

It did not, however, pan out for Henneman, who lost his opening match in overtime but came back to finish fourth for the Eagles.

“Placing is always good. It is a big deal,” said Henneman, a three-time state placer who will wrestle at Kent State University next fall. “This year, obviously, my goal was that state title. Falling short sucks, but it’s time to move forward and focus on college.”

Henneman was one of four Clay wrestlers to compete in this year’s D-I meet.

Teammate Kevin Contos, a freshman, took sixth at 152 pounds while juniors Garret Anderson (145) and Nick Daly (285) lost both of their matches in Columbus. All four will make the Alan Jewelers All-Press Wrestling Honor Roll — Henneman for the third time. “(We) competed very well,” Clay coach Ralph Cubberly said. “Nick Henneman placed fourth and did a great job, becoming a three-time state placer. Kevin Contos also wrestled very well, and Nick Daly and Garret Anderson both got valuable experience for next year.”

Henneman wore a face mask against his first opponent, Jake Meridieth of Cincinnati Elder, to protect an injured nose. Meridieth eked out a 7-5 victory, and Henneman ditched the mask for the rest of the tournament.

“I beat (Meridieth) 17-0 at Brecksville,” said Henneman, who won his next four matches, including consolation-round pins in 1:57 and 2:22.

Henneman praised his coaches for

keeping his head in the tournament after the heartbreaking loss.

“I have the best coaches in the state,” he said.

“They talked to me and really helped me through it. They told me that to lose your first match at state your senior year and come back to (have a chance to) take third, it shows Nick Henneman more character and toughness. I listen to all my coaches’ advice that they give me. When they tell me something, I take it to heart.”

Henneman lost to Sam Dover of team champion Lakewood St. Edward, 6-4, in the match for third place. Henneman placed fourth at 120 pounds at last year’s state tournament and took sixth at 113 as a sophomore.

“It’s a lot of work to put in,” he said.

“My ultimate goal was a state title. This year I had a good chance. Obviously third is a lot better than fourth. It sucks losing your final match in high school. The kid (Dover) is good. He beat me in the district finals. It would have been better to win, but it has not been a bad season. It’s been a great four years at Clay High School.”

Henneman ended the season with a 44-5 record and finished with 157 career wins.

Contos, who had 40 wins this season, won his first two matches by 9-3 and 11-2 margins before getting pinned by eventual runner-up Jaden Mattox, a junior from Grove City Central Crossing, in the semifinals. Kontos lost to Medina’s Brady Chrisman, 8-4, in the match for fifth place.

Anderson finished the season 38-11, Contos at 40-10, and Daly finished 29-3.

State champ Thorp leads Oak Harbor to third place

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com In past years, having six wrestlers place would be enough to win a state championship.

This year, Oak Harbor was competing against so many quality teams that they fell short of winning the Division III title, coming in third. Mechanicsburg accumulated 118½ points while Genoa was second (95), followed by the Rockets (91), which set a school record by having six wrestlers place.

To no one’s surprise, Dylan Thorp, the top wrestler in a group that featured seven qualifiers, a group known as “The Magnificent Seven,” became the 24th state champion in Oak Harbor history. Bruce Hrynciw finished second, Jake Huston was third, Kian Thompson came in fifth, Dylan Mansor was sixth and Cameron Dickman, the only non-senior of the group, finished seventh. Trevor Scherf, who was seventh in D-III last year, missed out on placing by one match.

“We placed six, so we were happy with that. It’s the state tournament, and there are no kids that aren’t good wrestlers,” said Oak Harbor coach George Bergman.

“There’s not another time when you’re wrestling in front of 15,000 fans. We were fortunate that our kids performed.”

Thorp, who lost just two matches this year at 220 pounds, won his first two matches convincingly. He pinned Newbury’s Kade Marker in 1:47 and defeated Patrick Henry’s Kent Petersen by major decision, 9-2. Thorp won his toughest match, edging Carlisle’s Reece Human, 6-4, in the semifinals and ending the reign of last year’s champion, New Paris National Trail’s Ben Sullivan, 7-3, in the finals to notch his 47th victory of the season. It was sweet redemption for Thorp, who just missed out on placing last season and has made great strides during his four years.

Division III state champion Dylan Thorp. (Photo by Rich Wagner) “He went undefeated at Disney Duals, went to Iron Man and knocked off a defending state champion,” said Bergman. “He’s continued to work hard and it was nice that his dream and goal came to fruition.

In the semifinals, he faced a guy that was rated third, and in the finals, he faced a four-time state placer. Dylan performed well under the lights and on the big stage.”

Hrynciw (126) won his first two

matches easily and held off Wayne Trace’s Ruger Goeltzenleuchter, 3-2, before reaching the finals and losing to a three-time state champion, Delta’s Drew Mattin by fall in 3:39. It was the culmination of a career that saw Hrynciw become only the ninth wrestler to win four Sandusky Bay Conference titles and place twice in D-III. Huston (152) won his first match by fall and the second by technical fall before

losing, 4-1, to Mechanicsburg’s Colt Yinger in the semifinals. However, Huston recovered to win his final two matches, including a sudden victory by the score of 2-1 against Smithville’s Riley Smucker in the third-place match.

Thompson (182) won his first match by fall in just 46 seconds before losing, 8-3, to two-time state champion James Handwerk of Rocky River Lutheran West.

Thompson recovered, though, winning twice before losing, 8-6, to Elmwood’s Jace Grossman. But Thompson finished out his career on a high note by defeating Carey’s Tanner May, 7-2, to finish fifth.

Mansor (145), who had qualified for the state tournament in each of the previous two years, reached the podium this year. He beat Massillon Tuslaw’s Kyle Ryder, 9-3, before falling to the eventualchampion, Mechanicsburg’s Tanner Smith, 11-0. Mansor recovered and beat Swanton’s Chase Moore, 5-0, before losing two close matches, finishing sixth.

Dickman (113) defeated Navarre Fairless’ Ben Ruegg, 6-2, before falling to Troy Christian’s Jake Edwards, 6-1, in the semifinals. Dickman, however, recovered to win two of his next three matches.

Scherf (132) had a tough draw despite coming in as a district champion, losing to two wrestlers that finished third and fifth, respectively, with a victory coming in his second match.

It was a senior class that Coach Bergman will never forget.

“I think it’s another good class,” said Bergman. “This is a deep class. It maybe doesn’t have the superstars of Keith (Witt), Cody (Magrum) and Kirk (Tank), but six state placers is pretty incredible.

“After Dylan’s match, he went up to the podium and we exchanged hugs and I told them I appreciated all they did for the program. I acknowledged each one of them and told them I appreciate how much they’ve done for the program.”

Ashland’s Sievert, Snowden earn All-American honors Former Oak Harbor athlete Tyler Sievert and former Eastwood athlete Devin Snowden teamed up with two other Ashland University Eagles to place sixth in the nation in the Distance Medley Relay and allowed them to both claim AllAmerican status.

Sievert ran the 800 meter leg and Snowden ran the 400 meter leg, replacing Myles Pringle. The DMR this year was the fastest ever in NCAA D-II history. The Eagles ran a 9:47 which is also an Ashland school record.

This contributed to the Ashland Eagles being the D-II indoor track and field team runner up in the championship in Birmingham Alabama. Sievert and Snowden are both freshmen.

They were two of 12 first team Ashland University athletes earning first team All-American honors from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. That was a D-II high in men’s indoor track. Snowden also earned second team All-American as part of the 4x400 relay team.

Snowden also qualified for outdoor nationals in the 4x100 relay, earning USTFCCCA All-Region honors outdoors, and won the indoor long jump at the Findlay Open (21 feet, 10 inches).

Sievert competed in the 800, mile, 4x4 relay and distance medley relay indoors, and 400, 800 and 4x4 relay outdoors this year. He won two events at the outdoor AllOhio Championships — the 800 (1:56.46) and the 4x4 relay (3:27.95).

Coach Bergman inducted The individual state wrestling tournament was extra special this year for Oak Harbor coach Geroge Bergman, who was inducted into the Ohio High School Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Bergman, who has coached the team for a quarter of a century, has mentored 13 state champions, eight runners-up and 56 state placers. As a program, Oak Harbor has 24 state champions and 80 all-state medalists.

“I’ve always believed that any award a coach receives is because of the great athletes he’s coached. I’ve been very blessed to

Three place, and Golden Bears finish 13th at state

By Mark Griffin and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com Gibsonburg wrestling coach Greg Spoores was impressed with the performance of the Golden Bears’ three state qualifiers last weekend at the Division III state tournament at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus.

Senior Madison Jaso placed fourth at 182 pounds, sophomore Brad Mendoza placed fifth at 170 and junior Hugo Villarreal took sixth at 152. It marked the first time Gibsonburg has ever had three state placers in the same season.

“It was an outstanding performance overall by all three kids,” Spoores said.

“They wrestled hard and they all made their goals. Hugo and Madison moved up on the podium from the previous year. I’m super proud of all three of them.”

Jaso, who placed eighth at 182 last year, pinned his first-round opponent in 1:16 and then lost to eventual champion Zach Steiner, a senior from Creston Norwayne, by major decision. Jaso won three more matches, including a first-period pin, to set up the match for third place.

Jaso lost to senior Jace Grossman of Elmwood, 4-3.

“He lost a tough one in the finals to Grossman,” Spoores said. “They split two matches this year and Grossman is a tough kid and had a great state tournament.

(Officials) said time expired before (Jaso) got an escape. It was a tough match for Madison to lose as a senior, but it was still an accomplishment moving from eighth to fourth. He has nothing to hang his head about.”

Mendoza became just the second Gibsonburg sophomore to ever place at state. The Golden Bears also scored 36 points to take 13th in the team standings, their best finish ever. Gibsonburg has had five state placers in the last two years.

“We have established an expectation for our program now and we are returning six district qualifiers next year,” Spoores said. “There are good things ahead for our program.”

Mendoza won his first two matches by a combined 19-7 margin and lost a 1-0

decision in the consolation semifinals. He defeated Chris Langguth of Rootstown, 6-5, in the match for fifth place.

“It was close the whole match, but we were in control the whole match,” Spoores said. “Brad wrestled an outstanding tournament. I thought he was our best chance to get a guy in the finals. It was tough to lose those close matches, but he pulled himself together, refocused and culminated his sophomore season on a good note.”

Villarreal, who placed eighth at 138 last season, won by disqualification in his first match and won by pin in his second match.

He earned a second-period pin in the quarterfinals and then got pinned by freshman Jacob Lagoa of Ashtabula St. John, the eventual champion, in the semifinals.

Villarreal lost a 9-4 decision to Forest Belli of Johnstown Northridge in the match for fifth place.

“Hugo and Mendoza are the school’s first state semifinalists since Paul Sanchez won a state title in the early 1980s,” Spoores said. “Hugo is the second Golden Bear to be a multiple state placer, and he would be our first three-time state placer if he places next season.”

Dunn Chevy Buick is Your Best Choice.

Two other wrestlers from The Press coverage area, Lake senior Joe Moore and Eastwood senior Michael Burket, competed in the D-III tournament.

Moore, who entered the weekend with a 43-2 record at 285 pounds, went 1-2 in Columbus and earned a second-period pin in a consolation match. Burket (42-9) lost both of his matches at 152.

Every wrestler who qualified for state or placed first at the district meet, sectional meet, or league meet earned a spot on the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Wrestling Honor Roll.

Curtice native set to play NCAA Division I hockey

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Curtice native Grant Meyer gets asked the same question all the time.

What is there to do in Fargo, N.D.?

“A lot of people think there’s not much to do in Fargo,” Meyer said. “It’s actually a thriving and upbeat community. There are a bunch of malls. People go ice fishing and snowmobiling. There are a bunch of movie theaters and any kind of restaurant you can think of.”

There is also the successful North Dakota State University football program, which recently won five straight national titles and sent quarterback Carson Wentz to the Philadelphia Eagles as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The 5-foot-8, 185-pound Meyer is playing right wing for the Fargo Force in the 17-member United States Hockey League, which consists of players age 20 and under. The USHL is considered the top junior hockey league in the U.S. and is strictly amateur, which means that former players can compete in NCAA college hockey.

Meyer, 20, who is an alternate team captain, is in his second season with the Force after getting traded there from Youngstown in December 2015. The Force currently sit in fourth place in the eightteam Western Conference.

“The team is doing really well,” Meyer said. “We’ve been third or fourth for a while, and the top four teams at the end of the regular season move onto the playoffs.

We’ve been doing really well. Personally, I’ve been playing pretty well. I have 20 points in 40 games, or something like that.

It’s been a good year for me and a good year for the team.”

Meyer started playing on travel teams at an early age and then got recruited to play in Cleveland as a teenager. He attended Genoa schools up through his sophomore year in high school and played for the Triple-A Cleveland Barons from age 13 to 18.

He moved to Cleveland for his junior and senior year and graduated from Rocky River High School in 2014. Meyer, however, has remained in contact with his best friend since childhood, Michael Deiter, an All-Ohio football player from Genoa who is now a starting offensive lineman at Wisconsin.

“Our houses are back-to-back in Curtice,” Meyer said. “He’s one of my best friends. I’ve known him my whole life. We grew up together and hung out together after school. I’m not surprised by his success (at Wisconsin). No one deserves it more than him. He’s the most humble kid in the

world. He’s the same kid he always was.”

Meyer has verbally committed to play Division I college hockey for Canisius College, located in Buffalo.

The Golden Griffins, a member of the Atlantic Hockey Conference, are coached by Dave Smith and won the regular-season AHC Grant Meyer title this season.

Meyer said he became aware of Canisius College through Mike Mankowski, who is the hockey director at Tam-O-Shanter in Sylvania.

“I talked with (the coaches) at the start of the season,” said Meyer, who has not visited the Canisius campus. “Their head coach is best friends with Mankowski.

Smith used to coach with Mankowski (from 2005-09). I work at Tam-O in the summers, doing skating instruction and stuff, and Manko has been my boss.

“Canisius watched me play, and after I talked to them I remembered Mankowski used to coach there. Mike really helped me out with picking schools, telling me how nice Buffalo is and what a great coach Smith is. He guided me in making my decision.”

Mankowski, who is from Toledo, played hockey at St Francis de Sales and said he is excited to see Meyer head off to play college hockey.

“It will be a great thing for him,” Mankowski said. “It’s an opportunity for him to go in and play as a freshman. Not only will he get a great hockey experience but a great academic and social experience.

Living in an NHL and NFL city like Buffalo is a great experience. Socially, he will really enjoy that. He’ll have a chance to develop and play pro hockey if that’s what he wants to do.”

Meyer said signing day is in early April and he “can’t wait” to scribble his name on the letter of intent.

“It was a long time coming and a lot of hard work,” Meyer said. “To have that weight off my shoulders will be really nice.”

Meyer said he is considering majoring in the business field.

“My parents (Lester and Jill) are so excited,” Meyer said. “They know how important hockey is to my life and they’ve been with me every step of the way. To see me finally get that college commitment, they’re thrilled for me and they know how long I’ve wanted this. This is a dream of mine since I was little.”

Happy 90th Birthday Bowling Green State University 6-foot-1 freshman Andrea Cecil (Oak Harbor), No. 3, races upcourt on defense at the Stroh Center. (Press photo by Scott Grau)

For Cecil, it’s a balancing act

By Yaneek Smith and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com In 21 minutes, Bowling Green State University’s 6-foot-1 freshman Andrea Cecil (Oak Harbor) scored six points and had a steal, but the Falcons saw the 2016-17 season come to an end as host Buffalo won, 61-45, at Alumni Arena. The game was a first-round contest in the Mid-American Conference Tournament.

The Falcons’ season ends at 8-23, but the 12-player active roster includes nine players with at least one season of eligibility remaining, including Cecil, who has three. Cecil was a three-time Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year in high school. Her freshman season at BGSU, she averaged 4.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.

Cecil seems to be balancing school and basketball well — a task that’s especially trying for someone getting acclimated to life in college.

“I think it’s an adjustment, for sure.

I think I’m doing pretty well now in my second semester adjusting to everything.

It was tough at first, managing classes and study tables and having longer practices and having to lift. At times, I find it hard to balance all the school work when we’re on the road. It’s just something that you have to do. Sometimes you have to study on the bus,” said Cecil, who is majoring in exercise science.

“Everybody is going through the same thing. It’s pretty easy to set up study tables and get someone to go with you. Classes are going pretty well, I enjoy some of the classes I’m taking, and so that makes it a little easier.”

Playing college basketball also allows athletes the opportunity to travel and visit different places. This season, the Falcons’ schedule has allowed them the opportunity to visit the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. as well as the nation of Cuba.

“In Cuba, the whole trip was a lot of fun.

We got to see a lot of different things, and we got to explore their culture. Everybody was so nice there,” said Cecil. “We toured the Louisville Slugger Museum and we got to see the Basketball Hall of Fame and all of the artifacts and history.

“It’s been a lot of fun. Being away from my parents, I’m missing them a lot, but

Ina Wheeler

luckily I’m close to home. It’s nice meeting a lot of new people and experiencing the college life. I really like BG’s campus — everything is close, it’s a five to ten minute walk (to most places) and everybody is really outgoing and friendly. You can make a new friend every day if you’d like.”

Close-out performances At the end of the regular season, in 17 minutes, Cecil scored four points and grabbed six rebounds as the Falcons battled back from a double-digit deficit on not one, but two occasions to post a 64-62 MAC win over Buffalo.

“We had a lot of resiliency from everyone on our team, no matter if they were in the game or on the bench, and I’m really proud of our effort,” said BGSU head coach Jennifer Roos. “We out-rebounded them by 10, I thought we did a good job of limiting our turnovers when they pressed for the majority of the game, and we also made key shots down the stretch.”

A week earlier, visiting Kent State University took the lead for good with a third-quarter run, and the Golden Flashes kept that lead with a solid performance from the free-throw line in the fourth period Wednesday night.

KSU came away with a 70-60 win over the Bowling Green State University women’s basketball team in MAC action at the Stroh Center.

Cecil led the Falcons with 14 points, the highest total of her young career. She was 5-for-9 from the field, including 2-for3 from behind the 3-point arc, and made both of her free throws. She also had two rebounds, an assist and blocked two shots in 24 minutes on the court.

In an earlier game, the Falcons overcame a 14-point deficit, then saw host Miami University nearly come all the way back from a seven-point deficit in the final minute.

When the smoke had cleared and the dust had settled, the Falcons had a 61-59 win over the host RedHawks at Millett Hall on Saturday afternoon. Cecil had four rebounds and scored two points in just 12 minutes of play during the Falcon win.

Earlier this season, Cecil scored seven points as the Falcons tied the Stroh Center record with 15 three-point field goals, riding that offensive onslaught to an 86-50 dismantling of the University of Akron.
