By Press Staff Writer The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will hold an information session to update the public on the clean-up project at the former Brush Beryllium site near Luckey on March 26. The meeting will start at 6 p.m. and be held at the American Legion Post 240 at 335 Park Dr. in the village. The Corps’ project team will conduct a brief presentation at 7 p.m. and be available to answer questions after. There will also be posters detailing how the project is progressing as well as safety measures being taken to protect the community and workers. The team has also unveiled an informational website page that will be updated weekly with data about the total volume of soil excavated, tonnage of waste disposed, number of waste shipments and volume of water collected from the site and treated. Jacob Zdrojewski, outreach specialist at the Buffalo district of the Corps, said the purpose of the infographic page is to provide an update of the project by reporting major items of interest to the public. The page can be viewed and downloaded from the Corps’ website or by following the district Facebook page. In November of last year, the Corps reported it had cleaned up and disposed of more than 7,200 tons of material contaminated with beryllium, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234, uranium-238, and lead from the Luckey site. The Corps also announced it had been evaluating the effectiveness of using an automatic soil sorter during the clean-up. In the past, using the soil sorter at other project sites has provided value to the government by ensuring that only those soils that are radioactively contaminated were transported and disposed of off-site, thereby reducing the total volume shipped. The Corps said its evaluation of the soil sorting at the Luckey site indicated it wasn’t realizing the expected volume reduction in shipped wastes. “Our costs to operate the soil sorter exceed the expected savings in transportation and disposal of waste material, and the increased handling of soils potentially Continued on page 2

Major improvements planned for Navarre Park By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Navarre Park in East Toledo is about to get a major makeover. Toledo Councilman Peter Ujvagi, Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz and representatives from Toledo Refining Company and Mercy Health Partners last week announced a partnership to improve East Toledo through the revitalization of Navarre Park in East Toledo.” “The partnership between the Toledo Refining Company, Mercy Health, and the City of Toledo, working with the East Toledo Family Center and neighborhood leadership from One Voice, provides a unique opportunity to revitalize and reinvigorate a key park in East Toledo, said Ujvagi. “As long neglected infrastructure in the park is renewed and creative opportunities for enjoyment and recreation are developed, Navarre Park will again be the `Central Park’ for East Toledo,” added Ujvagi, referring to the famous park in New York City.

Both companies made commitments to donate funds to the upgrades. Toledo Refining Company donated $50,000 and Mercy Health donated $20,000 to fund much needed improvements to the park, said Ujvagi. The City of Toledo has committed to matching the donations with equally valued improvements over several years in the park, said Kapszukiewicz. ”This is an anchor park in East Toledo and a very important part of the neighborhood,” said Kapszukiewicz. “I want to thank Toledo Refining Company and Mercy Health for stepping up to improve the community. This can be a model across our city on how public-private partnerships can help our community.” Previous upgrades Ujvagi told The Press that the park has made improvements before, but it’s been a while, he said. “A number of years ago, there was Continued on page 2

increases worker exposure to safety hazards. The soil sorting operation is successfully segregating waste materials based on radioactivity. However, most of the materials which satisfy our radioactivity criteria subsequently fail for beryllium and must be transported for off-site disposal. We’ve concluded that we can execute a safer and more cost effective remediation by discontinuing use of the soil sorter,” a statement by the Corps said.
Drug offense penalties Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost issued the following statement regarding Senate Bill 55, which would enhance penalties for drug offenses near community addiction service providers: “Drug dealers around treatment centers are like flies on honey. They know they have a proven customer base. This law will help protect those seeking recovery when they are their most vulnerable.” Yost submitted a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of the bill. SB 55 would increase penalties for those who are convicted of aggravated drug trafficking on or within 1,000 feet of a community addiction service provider. The bill had its second hearing last week.

some work done to make soccer fields. It didn’t work out so well. We ended up with so much flooding that we couldn’t use it for soccer fields. We rebuilt some tennis courts about two years ago.” The East Toledo Senior Activities Center, a pool, a playground and athletic field are also located there. “It’s a park that is very much used,” he said. There have been discussions about what kind of improvements that the public would like to see in the park, he added. “It’s very exciting. There’s lots of ideas. There has been conversations about frisbee golf, a gazebo or shelter house where we could have performances, redoing the path and replacing the benches and picnic tables that are falling apart.”
Years of history “Our facility has more than 120 years of history in this neighborhood,” said Refinery Manager Michael Gudgeon. “Toledo Refining Company has long enjoyed the benefits of this historic East Toledo property. The original park has been a place where many of our employees and their families came to play throughout the lifetime of the refinery. Our commitment of $50,000 and fundraising support will help ensure Navarre Park continues to serve the needs of East Toledo residents for generations to come. Our sincere hope is that others in the community will join us in lending their support to this worthy fundraising effort to modernize this wonderful park.” Health and fitness “Mercy Health is proud to partner on
this significant project with hopes that it will further the health and fitness of our community,” said Craig Albers, president of Mercy Health St. Charles Hospital. “For decades, families have come together to enjoy outdoor activities at Navarre Park. Enhancing the park’s offerings will ensure that future generations will continue to have a great outdoor destination to enjoy.” Organizers will plan a series of meetings with the public to get more ideas on what they would like to see in the park, said Ujvagi. “The community is going to be involved in planning the park and be part of the process,” said Ujvagi. “We will make the park into something that East Toledoans can be proud of and will be a main attraction.”

Meeting will focus on ways to improve East Toledo By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Following the recent murder of a teenager in East Toledo, local officials have organized a public meeting at the Waite High School cafeteria on Thursday at 6 p.m. to find ways to reduce crime and improve the community. “We wanted to get together and talk about issues facing East Toledo,” said Lucas County Clerk of Courts Bernie Quilter, who was raised in East Toledo and now resides in Oregon. “We want to hear ideas from residents about how to make East Toledo vibrant again.” “This meeting was a reaction by a lot of people in the community who were very concerned about the shooting,” said Third District Councilman Peter Ujvagi, whose district includes East Toledo. He was referring to the murder of 16-yearold Northwood High School student Alexia Carey, who was shot in the chest on Nevada Street on March 11. She was taken to the hospital and later died of her injuries. Three teenagers and an adult have been charged in connection with the shooting. “The East Side has challenges that we have to address together,” said Ujvagi. “What can we do to improve things in East Toledo? There’s a lot of good things that are happening. But there are a lot of other things, particularly in terms of violence, that need to be addressed as well. The whole idea is to bring people together. We’re reaching out to schools, churches, neighborhoods, businesses and community organizations to come to this meeting.
We need to get organized in East Toledo. “ The public will have an opportunity to ask questions of officials who will be present, including representatives from the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office, the Toledo Police Department, the Toledo mayor’s office, the school district, and Engage Toledo. Also invited are at-large Toledo City Council members. “There will be an opportunity to highlight what people believe are the biggest problems we have to work on,” said Ujvagi. “People will really be able to express themselves about the problems as well as help find solutions. People will have a chance to be heard, give their opinions, and to hold elected officials accountable as well.” Positive activities There will also be information about positive developments occurring in East Toledo, he added. “We’ll highlight the good things, such as activities along the riverfront, and the amount of work the land bank has done demolishing and rehabbing homes,” he said. “There’s so much potential,” said Quilter. “We could develop Main Street and turn it into a true business community again, where we have storefronts like the German Village that would attract people. The land bank has been incredible. We need to tear down more abandoned and dilapidated buildings. And we have to make people more responsible for their own properties. It doesn’t cost a lot to plant flowers in your yard. Just things like that could help make East Toledo attractive again.”
Better days East Toledo has definitely seen better days, said Quilter, who has fond memories of his childhood in East Toledo. “It was a thriving place. I grew up near Prentice Park. When I was little, the city used to drop off a shed 14 feet by 14 feet. Inside, there were crafts, baseballs, basketballs and other things. College kids in the summer would come out and get kids involved in crafts and organize baseball and basketball games. These sheds were in all the parks - Navarre, Oakdale, the High Level. Then we’d challenge and compete against the other parks. These were organized activities for kids during the day. That doesn’t exist anymore. We’re heading into the summer. We have to put activities together again for our youth.” Not long ago, East Toledo had its own economic developer, he added. “Even though that’s gone, we could still help people with such things as how to build a resume, apply for jobs and find work.” East Toledo also has to regain some political clout through voting, he said. “East Toledo has to become a solid voting bloc again. I’m sorry, but people put money into where the voters are. East Toledo gets some things, but not like they used to get. The 18th, 19th and 20th wards used to be huge voting blocs. Not anymore. People have got to get involved again.” Quilter said improving East Toledo is going to take some time and effort. But he believes it can be done. “We are not going to be able to solve everything in one night. There’s no way,” said Quilter. “But we can talk about the direction we want to go in.”
Oregon to welcome Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure More than a thousand bike riders from across the country will visit Oregon in June for the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure. Clay High School will host cyclists for two nights during the 31st annual GOBA tour. Riders will begin arriving on Thursday, June 20, and will depart on Saturday morning, June 22. GOBA is a noncompetitive event that is billed as a fun, family-oriented activity for cyclists of all ages. It seeks to promote bicycle tourism in Ohio by highlighting a different region of the state each year. GOBA registration includes tent camping at the host sites, but many riders opt for hotels or other lodging. The 2019 tour is expected to draw 1,200 to 1,500 cyclists from about 40 states and several countries, according to GOBA Director Jeff Pierron of Columbus Outdoor Pursuits, the nonprofit organization that organizes the ride. Oregon is the next-to-last stop on a weeklong journey that begins June 15 in Bowling Green and visits Fremont, Port Clinton and Oregon before returning to
Bowling Green on June 22 to complete a large loop. The visit to Oregon will be the first for GOBA, and its closest stay to a major city since GOBA began in 1989. “Oregon’s location and its trail network give participants a lot of options,” Pierron said. “Shuttle buses will transport riders to Toledo-area museums and attractions, or they can bike to the beach at Maumee Bay State Park, wildlife areas along the Lake Erie shore and recreational facilities in Oregon.” Food and activities will be offered to cyclists in the ”GOBAville” camp at Clay. But most are expected to explore the community in search of dining, entertainment and shopping. “Spending by GOBA riders can have a significant economic impact on a community,” Pierron said. “Town coordinator Sommer Vriezelaar, who is executive director of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation, will be instrumental in spreading word about GOBA to local businesses and rounding up volunteer groups.”
Pierron said the high school offers lots of green space for tent camping and indoor areas for activities. The school also has plenty of parking for GOBA’s traveling entourage of shower trucks, luggage trucks, medical vehicles, ham radio operators, bike mechanics, staff and others. For community groups, GOBA’s visit offers fundraising opportunities to feed riders, provide entertainment and shuttle luggage in camp, Pierron said. Vriezelaar and the school district are recruiting school boosters to lead committees such as food, emergency planning, entertainment and information. The committees will begin assembling volunteers in early 2019. If you would like to market your business and provide discounted rates for GOBA riders please send all information to Vriezelaar. We are looking for brochures & Pamphlets to local places riders can visit and enjoy good food, shopping, and entertainment. To learn more about GOBA or register to ride, visit goba.com.

Glass City Metropark
First phase to start this spring By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Construction could start as early as this spring on the first phase of development of the Glass City Metropark in East Toledo. In an update on plans for the park, Scott Carpenter, a spokesman for Metroparks Toledo, told members of the East Toledo Club Thursday that contract bids could be awarded in May with construction starting shortly after. The first phase of projects for the 70acre site along the Maumee River will include work on the main entrance to the park off East Broadway, relocating a stretch of Riverside Drive that now winds through the park and construction of a pavilion. “We expect to go to bid any day now,” Carpenter said. “If all things go smoothly we will complete phase one this year.” The planned pavilion will be the largest pavilion in the Metroparks system, he said, with seating for 150 people at tables or 400 without tables. A grass roof is planned that will be part of a walking trail. A kayak tow entrance similar to one at a park at the Middlegrounds is also planned
for development in the first phase as is a sledding hill. In conjunction with the City of Toledo, Metroparks Toledo will also develop a bike/pedestrian trail along a former rail bridge over Main Street that will link with a trail at International Park. Carpenter said planners accepted input from the public for the trail layout and are completing the final design. Residents should consider Glass City Metropark as a “gateway to East Toledo.” Projects that will be constructed in the next phases of development will include a play area for children, ice skating facility and an urban camping area. Comparing development of the Glass City park area to that of the Middlegrounds, Carpenter said that Glass City is a much larger endeavor but about 8,000 tons of trash and debris had to be removed before work on Middlegrounds could start. Metroparks Toledo purchased the acreage for Glass City Metropark from ProMedica and hired SmithGroup to develop a master plan. The park will be the sixth Metropark along the Maumee River. The river parks are part of the Ohio Water Trail.
Ag Notes
Funding available to help farmers with water quality The Ohio Department of Agriculture, in partnership with the Lucas Soil and Water Conservation District, is providing funding for new assistance programs for farmers to help protect water quality in the western basin of Lake Erie. The Ohio Working Lands Buffer Program is aimed at encouraging producers to establish year-round vegetative cover on eligible crop land. The program will promote conversion, establishment, and maintenance of forage/hay land on certain cropland acres. Local SWCD office staff will assist
landowners in putting together a plan for installing these buffers. Landowners will be eligible to receive an annual payment of $120 per acre per year, over a five-year period, for establishment and maintenance. The goal of the program is to reduce nutrients entering Ohio waterways to lessen harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie. Funding is available to farmers installing conservation practices that benefit water quality in the Western Lake Erie Basin. Program enrollment officially kicked

Taekwon do competitors spar in Oregon
Above, yellow belt Michael Vickery takes a kick at white belt Nick Canada in Adult Male Division taekwon do competition hosted by Oregon-based Toneff’s Taekwon Do. Vickery and Canada both represent Toledo Taekwon Do. This year, Toneff’s had about 80 competitors from all over the Toledo area, three schools from Cleveland, and one each from Ann Arbor, Clyde, and Oak Harbor. A total nine schools took part in the event, including Toneff’s. There were competitors from ages five to 46-yearsold competing, including white belts to third degree black belts. Master Pat Toneff has been teaching in the community for more than 30 years. His students have been competing around the world, and last year two students won honors at a global Taekwon Do Federation World Championship in Durban, South Africa.

EMA director recognized for his service By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com In his 12 ½ years as the director of the Wood County Emergency Management Agency, Brad Gilbert recalls the efforts of first responders after the June 5, 2010 tornado in Lake Township as his proudest moments. In a letter announcing his retirement on March 29 to first responders, Gilbert writes, “All of you responded to provide service not only in Lake Township, but dedicated yourselves to make sure the rest of the county had first responder service during this disaster. Whether from the north or south, east or west, you are all professionals that provide your communities and the county with the best service possible.” In all, Gilbert is retiring with 32 years of public service. The Wood County commissioners have chosen Jeff Klein, who is the deputy director of the EMA, to succeed him. Gilbert’s letter was read into the record of Tuesday’s meeting of the Lake Township trustees and a resolution acknowledging his service was adopted. The township will also present him with a plaque recognizing his service, Jeff Pettit, a trustee, said.
Siren to be installed In other business, the trustees agreed to contract with Federal Field Services for $23,475 to install an outdoor warning siren to serve the southern portion of the township. The siren will be located on a parcel on the north side of Latcha Road, east of I-280. Don Shamp, a resident, has donated an easement for the site to the township. Richard Welling, a trustee, said a siren at the site would benefit residents in the southern portion of the township, which has no siren south of State Rt. 795. Businesses and travelers at the truckstops along I-280 and residents in the Woodlake Mobile Home Park in particular would benefit, he said. Three other sirens are located in the Village of Walbridge at Loop Park, along E. Broadway and at the fire station on Ayers Road near the Village of Millbury. Prosecutor’s response The trustees have received a response from the Wood County prosecutor’s office regarding a zoning issue for property along Woodville Road being used to temporarily store piles of leaves. In response to questions from two residents of Bailey Road, Welling said the prosecutor’s office had sent an email to

the trustees about 10 minutes before the start of Tuesday’s meeting. The township administration had asked for a review of a township zoning hearing held last May in which a request to rezone land from R-2 residential to B-2 commercial was approved. Jim Mlynek, owner of Woodville Road Nursery, submitted the request as part of his plan to use the property for storing leaves prior to composting them at his nursery on the other side of Woodville Road. The rezoning authorization came with stipulations, including one requiring Mlynek to construct a four-foot-high berm around the perimeter of the property along Bailey Road. At issue is whether Mlynek is required to make the berm 25 feet wide. He is challenging the township’s contention on the width. A letter from his attorney to the township says the township’s minutes of the hearing make no mention the berm should be 25 feet wide but the minutes do reference a 25-foot setback. The letter also contends other nearby commercial properties weren’t required to install berms. Welling said the prosecutor’s response will be made available to Mlynek and the Bailey Road residents after the township administration has reviewed it.

Sandusky County tourism
Bureau reports growth in sales
“
You know you’re doing something right when you’re 10% higher or more in sales growth than each neighboring county.
“
The Sandusky County Convention & Visitors Bureau held its second annual Shining Stars of Tourism Awards Banquet March 19 at the Terra Neeley Center in Fremont. The annual event was established to recognize local individuals and businesses that contribute to the success of Sandusky County’s growing tourism sector. Executive director Peggy Courtney said, “It’s also an opportunity to showcase the accomplishments of the CVB and to share our future outlook for the Visitors Bureau in the months and years to follow.” The event was open to the community and nearly 100 people - made up of elected officials, local business owners, county agencies and residents - attended. According to a study conducted in late 2018, Sandusky County experienced a 14.2 percent tourism sales growth in the prior two years. The study is conducted every two years and in 2016 the growth was 5 percent. According to the latest study, all of Northwest Ohio combined experienced a 3.5 percent sales growth and the entire state of Ohio tourism growth stood at just 3.5 percent as well. These tourism sales numbers put Sandusky County at the fourth highest percentage gainer of 88 counties in the state. “A growth like that comes from lots of hard work, not only by the Visitors Bureau and our board but by the partners who work with us to accommodate tourists and bus traffic,” said marketing director, David Thornbury. “We have taken an unconventional approach to attracting both leisure and bus travelers and the results of our marketing are really making an impact in the community. You know you’re doing something right when you’re 10% higher or more in sales growth than each neighboring county.” The economic data was collected by Longwoods International, an independent agency that conducts economic studies on cities, states and destinations worldwide. The evening concluded with an awards presentation. The first award was for Tourism Partner of the Year and was selected by the CVB and a committee made
up of volunteers from local businesses and organizations. The winner was Bob and Mary Tebeau of Chateau Tebeau Winery. The next award was chosen from nominations received from the community and was given as the Tourism Ambassador of the Year. There were seven nominees, including: John Zimmerman - Ole Zim’s Wagon Shed, Nick Lapolla - Moonshine Entertainment, Jason Hawkins - Comfort Inn & Suites, John Havens - Color Haven Paint and Supply, Julie Kupka-Brown Anjulina’s Catering & Banquet Hall, Bob and Beth Turner - Haunted Hydro/Turner Enterprises and Marissa Mills - Our Lady of the Pines Retreat Center. When the committee voted for a winner, the selections resulted in a tie so two winners were chosen: Bob and Beth Turner – Haunted Hydro/Turner Enterprises, and John Havens, a regular volunteer at the CVB. All the nominees were recognized with a certificate The evening concluded with one final category, the Frontline Associate of the Year award. This award recipient was also chosen from a pool of nominations Rafael Garnica – El Rancho 2, Brissa Rodriguez – The Garrison, Victoria Pan – Van Ness’s Time Out Sports Bar and The Garrison and Kim Shank – Chateau Tebeau Winery. The winner of the award was waiter and bartender, Rafael Garnica – El Rancho 2.

Need encouragement? Be your own cheerleader Sports teams have cheerleaders to motivate the players and the fans. The cheerleaders offer constant encouragement regardless of whether their team is winning or losing. The cheerleader’s enthusiasm increases if their team starts to fall behind. You’ll never see cheerleaders give up and go home should their team underperform. They remain energetic throughout the game. Cheerleaders boost morale. They create excitement and passion. Regardless of the score, cheerleaders always root for their team. It’s easy being your own cheerleader when all is going well. Since disappointments are part of life’s path, you must also be your own cheerleader during adversity. Doing so boosts your morale and lifts your spirits. Being your own cheerleader is essential for picking yourself up and getting back on track. Just as cheerleaders believe in the teams they support, you must believe in yourself. Not believing in yourself creates a downward spiral with a self-fulfilling negative prophesy. In this mode, you are subconsciously sabotaging your success
Dare to Live
by Bryan Golden through the expectation of failure. Symptoms of not believing in yourself are thoughts such as, I can’t do it, I never succeed, it’s too hard, it won’t work, I don’t know how, I don’t deserve success, or I’m not good enough. You can’t be your own cheerleader when you are telling yourself that you will lose. Being your own cheerleader when all is going right is easy. The challenge is motivating yourself when you are facing tough times. First, tell yourself that you can and will get through whatever situation you are dealing with. You have inside you the needed fortitude to forge ahead. Take a step back from your situation in order to gain a more objective assessment. If your emotions are running high, allow some time to calm down so that you will
be thinking more clearly. An emotionally stressed mind makes poor decisions. Clear, rational thinking is more likely to be positive. A rock solid, optimistic outlook is a foundation of cheerleading. It’s a can-do, will-do spirit which drives your forward motion. A willingness to do whatever it takes to reach your objective is paramount. If you feel overwhelmed, there are some effective cheerleading strategies you can utilize. Start by putting things in perspective. Create a list of at least ten things you are grateful for. This will help you feel better. Next, break down the task you are dealing with into small, manageable steps. This enables you to move forward one step at a time. Your small steps can be as simple as taking things one day at a time. Don’t overload yourself by tackling too much at once. Celebrate each successful step you take. Get right back up whenever you stumble and fall. Always remember that you only fail when you give up. So, you are never down and out unless you think you are. Note your
accomplishments. Be encouraged by every success, no matter how small. Optimism diminishes with fatigue. If you get tired, take a break to recharge. Connect with other positive people. Study those who have successfully traveled the road you are on. Seek advice from people who are where you want to be. Change strategy if you are not getting your desired results. Take encouragement from the fact that there is a solution for every problem. Finding it takes patience and determination, along with a burning desire. Your internal cheerleader is always with you. Feed off of its enthusiasm. When the going gets tough, dig deeper and redouble your efforts. Never ever giving up will make you a winner. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Is now the time to unionize players and the NCAA? By Brian Wakamo When Zion Williamson’s foot broke through the sole of his Nike shoe on Feb. 20, the sporting world stood still. The consensus number one player in college basketball was playing in the biggest game of the season — North Carolina versus Duke — and suffered his startling injury in the opening minute. Williamson’s sprained knee cost Nike $1.1 billion in stock market valuation the next day. The injury came on the doorstep of March Madness, the NCAA’s most profitable event of the year — to the tune of $900 million in revenue. Despite the billions riding on his performance, the NCAA insists that athletes like Williamson are “amateurs” — studentathletes there only for the love of the game. It forbids them to make money off their performance, even as they support an industry worth billions. Duke alone makes $31 million off its basketball program. Williamson has been a force of nature this season, captivating audiences and NBA scouts alike. Enticing those NBA scouts is the only way this 18-year-old can build his own future career — and any sort of injury imperils that future. High-level “student-athletes,” after all, don’t get to spend much time being students. They’re supposed to only spend 20 hours a week on sports-related activities. In reality, they spend around 40 hours on practice alone. Schoolwork falls by the wayside, so many schools have outside tutors do the players’ schoolwork and create classes-in-name-only where the only requirement is to turn in a paper. A few years ago, some former athletes at the University of North Carolina sued the school and the NCAA, claiming they’d been denied a meaningful education. It’s hard to argue with that. The athletes, in exchange for scholarships, give these schools their lives and put their health at risk. Concussions of football
Guest Editorial players have sparked lawsuits, and an injury like Williamson’s could cost a player millions in the professional leagues. If they can’t go pro — and their education didn’t do them any favors — what option do they have? That risk is where the travesty lies. These thousands of athletes who play in the NCAA are often not allowed to enjoy the benefits of the schools they attend (and enrich). If they’re not able to make use of their education, they should be paid for the work they put in.
Letters
When college sports revenues are as high as they’ve ever been, the failure to pay the athletes is absurd — but not surprising. Inequality of all kinds is on the rise, and the gap between the top and bottom of the pay scale is the highest since the Gilded Age of the early 1900s. The NCAA not allowing athletes to be paid — or even sign autographs for money! — is an extension of an economy where unions are busted and people have to work three jobs to make ends meet. It needs to change. College basketball players are on average worth $212,080 to their program, much more than the cost of their scholarships. Schools should pay these athletes a share of the revenue their sport brings in. And the NCAA needs to, at the very least, allow for these people to make money selling autographs or appearing at sports camps.
Letters should be about 350 words. Deadline Wed. Noon. Send to news@presspublications.com
Who’s accountable? To the editor: Should the government be able to take legal action against universities that graduate students who are unable to find a job after earning a degree in their major or minor? The universities and colleges leave these people in major debt for years with no means to repay while the university employees never miss a paycheck. Some of the biggest debts facing our nation are student loans with considerable default. The same action needs to be considered for publics schools that are pushing students out through graduation into unemployment due to not being prepared to get and/or maintain a job – this is taxation without education. Parents of students in grades kinder-
garten through 12 should have the same recourse to insure their children get an employable education or have recourse against the schools and educators. They are liable for a refund on all the taxes taken with no return on our investment. When other professions fail at their jobs like surgeons and pilots they must pay the price and have insurance to cover the exceptions to the rule. Entitlement education unions have no accountability once a student is “out of sight out of mind.” They just take their failed teaching methods to the next class until they retire at a young age with their own excellent retirement and health care benefits not enjoyed by a majority of the population. Phil Caron Perrysburg
Just as importantly, athletes should be allowed to unionize their teams and fight for their own rights. Billions of dollars are going to be spent on betting on March Madness games. CBS and Turner paid around $19 billion for the television rights to the tournament. And over $1 billion in advertising is spent on the tournament. This event is all about the money. We should spread it around to the people who make it worthwhile. Brian Wakamo is a researcher on the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies. Distributed by OtherWords. org.

Lake graduates inducted as Distinguished Alumni Four Lake High School graduates have been honored as the first Lake Distinguished Alumni. • Dr. Ben Ayling, is a member of the Lake High School class of 1972. Ayling’s love for the arts began during his high school years. He was an active leader in the band and choir for four years, and served as drum major for the marching band for three years. He was also active in the drama club and was involved in many theater and musical productions. Ayling wanted to go to college to pursue his passion for music, but he and his family lacked the resources. However, even well after graduation, Lake teachers and then Superintendent Craig Goddard kept encouraging him to pursue his dreams. With the Goddard’s ongoing help, Ayling eventually earned a music talent scholarship to attend Bowling Green State University. He earned a Bachelor of Music Education Degree in 1980 and a master’s degree in Music Education in 1989 from BGSU. Ayling’s 36-year teaching career began at Sylvania Northview High School where he was choral director for 20 years. His choirs were highly decorated and routinely earned Superior ratings for their AA choral selections. After 20 years at Northview, Ayling earned his Ph.D. degree in Music Education from Ohio State University. He then taught at Kent State University as the Assistant Professor of Choral Music for nine years, then one year at Case Western Reserve University, and most recently at Ohio Northern University where he was an associate professor and Director of Choral Activities for six years before retiring in 2016. Ayling enjoyed sharing his choir’s music throughout the country and the world. He led his high school choirs to Chicago, Toronto, New York City, and even Belgium to perform. At Ohio Northern, he organized and led two national tours covering 23 states in 43 days. They also performed in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. In addition, he sang bass in the acclaimed barbershop quartet called The Ritz. The quartet made eight recordings and performed in 46 states and five foreign countries. In 1991, they were lauded as the International Champion Barbershop Quartet. Ayling also spent 17 years as a studio singer for radio and TV commercials. He is also past-president of the Ohio Choral Director’s Association and pastpresident of the Association of International Champions of the Barbershop Harmony Society. • Steve Delventhal (`67).

Delventhal then moved to the AA Boos Construction Company where he was president for six years. In 2002, with the support of his wife Sharon and their three children, he fulfilled a dream to start his own commercial construction company – the Delventhal Company.

• Donald E. Shamp (`55). At Lake, Shamp played four years of varsity baseball and track and two years of varsity basketball. He was also in the band and choir, as well as participating in theater events. In 1959, he earned a degree in chemistry with a minor in math and science from Manchester College. He started working at Libbey Owens Ford Glass in Rossford on the production line. In 1963, he earned a chemical engineering degree at Toledo University while working at LOF. He continued working at LOF for 25 years, working his way up to assistant plant manager. Subsequently, he worked for two years at Guardian Glass as a production manager with their furnace engineering group and then worked for 15 years for Johns-Manville as their National Furnace Engineering Troubleshooter. With his extensive experience with glass furnaces, Shamp then began a whole new career in glass furnace technology. He now holds 13 patents in glass manufacturing. Perhaps his most important inventions are related to techniques for using pure oxygen in place of air for firing systems in glass furnaces. In 1998, using his inventions and patents, Shamp became a founding partner of two companies, Fuse Tech and Hot Tech. He took ownership of both companies in 2003 and is still the president and CEO of both. In addition to his 60-year career in the glassmaking business, Shamp has served his community, serving on the Lake School Board from 1971-1983, and actively supporting the Athletic and Band Boosters. He has also been a lifetime member of the Lakewood Church of the Brethren and is currently chairman of the Stewards Committee, overseeing maintenance, grounds, and upkeep of the church.

Program fostering excellence, leadership at Waite By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Fellowship. Accountability. Brotherhood. Responsibility. Fraternity. “My brother’s keeper.” These are the ideals that represent the Waite High School chapter of the Young Men of Excellence (YMOE). The program, which was created by the Toledo Public Schools superintendent, Dr. Romules Durant, is a program that exits in all six of the city’s public schools and works to build strong, focused leaders. During the weekly meetings, which last approximately 30 minutes, the students hold each other accountable and keep each other in line and credit each other when a member has done something positive. It’s all about reciprocity and working to uphold the ideals of the organization. “Reciprocity is one of our pillars. We will hold them accountable,” said Josh Vance, who with Kyle Briggs, is an advisor to the group. “As much as I might think they care about what the advisors think, it pales in comparison to what the older kids are thinking.” Programs like this help to restore some of that East Side pride that is such a vital part of the community, Vance said. “It’s vital. The East Side is very proud. I’m a transplant; I never had any idea what East Side life was like. In urban areas, that sense of pride has kind of been lost in some places, but these students are very proud of where they come from,” said Vance. “We have the largest chapter in the city by a fair share, so there was that sense of pride in coming together. Some kids joined and they need someone to show them how to be excellent. Other kids are already excelling, but they want to pass along those traits to others. “There’s definitely pride in being the best chapter in the city; representing the ’05 – representing Dr. Durant,” he said. Vance, who works as a counselor at
Toledo Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Romules Durant with Waite High School’s chapter of the Young Men of Excellence (YMOE). Also shown are members of Waite’s Young Women of Excellence chapter. (Photo courtesy of Josh Vance) the high school, talked about his reasons for wanting to be the advisor to the group, which is in its seventh year. “One of the reasons I got into education was to give back a little of what I got in school. I was a troubled kid and my football coaches took me under their wing and kind of showed me a different path,” he said. “I became a high-school counselor to help these kids. When the opportunity came around, it seemed like a natural fit with what I wanted to do. “I initially thought I’d reached kids through football,” he continued. “When we’re at our highest, we have 85 kids here.

It 100 percent fit my mission of making an impact and helping young men make good choices and become role models.” “More than anything it’s vital that, as an advisor, you show the students that you care,” Vance said. “If not, they’ll see right through it. What made the difference? What should I do more of? It’s the amount of time you put in. If there’s a silver bullet, it’s to be genuine; it’s to allow yourself to care,” he said. “It comes with a fair share of disappointment but the heights that we reach and being able to share the stories with those kids, I believe that’s the common denominator to our success.”
At a recent meeting, the group offered one of its teachers, Joe Boyle, the chance to become an honorary member of the organization. Senior Neko Brown, 18, says being part of YMOE is interesting and fun. “We’ve done different things and I’ve gotten the chance to meet a lot of different people,” said Brown, who plays football, is on the wrestling team and runs track. He plans to study nursing in college. “It’s a privilege. With the YMOE members, you build a strong brotherhood. Over these last four years, one thing I can say is I become more open-minded.”

Terra State holds ďŹ fth annual womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership forum Education, mentorship and adapting were just of few of the prevailing themes at the Terra State Community College 2019 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leadership Forum held March 6. One hundred seventy-ďŹ ve women from area high schools, colleges and businesses attended the ďŹ fth annual event, making it the largest in the short history of the forum. Ann Sergent, Terra Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Interim Dean of Business, Humanities and Industrial Technologies, served as the master of ceremonies. Her opening remarks told of how her mother was the biggest female inďŹ&#x201A;uence in her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom earned her teaching degree while raising three children and working,â&#x20AC;? recalls Sergent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She met my dad which added three more kids to the family. She decided to go back to college while working full time and raising six kids. She also taught me to be a leader through three important lessons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perseverance, commitment and motivation.â&#x20AC;? Following Sergentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening remarks, attendees had the opportunity to talk and discuss leadership with business leaders seated at their table during lunch. The highlight of the Forum was the panel discussion that featured three women who have demonstrated what leadership is in their chosen ďŹ elds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Angie Harrison, Sales and Marketing Manager for Penske Logistics; Bethany Brown, Sandusky County Health Commissioner and Veronica Miller, Welding Faculty Instructor at Terra State. Each panelist took the opportunity to talk about their thoughts on leadership and what advice they wish they had when they began their careers. Brown said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ok not to know everything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ok to make mistakes. I wish someone told me it was ok to make mistakes.â&#x20AC;? Harrison added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone can be a leader, even in an entry-level position. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have a title to be a leader. I wish I understood that earlier in my career.â&#x20AC;?
Miller said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish someone would have said that you can be a good leader and not always be perfect.â&#x20AC;? The panel also ďŹ elded questions from the audience on motivation, leadership traits and balancing work and personal life. Loren Taylor, a junior from Woodmore High School, a ďŹ rst-time attendee, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great experience and a great way to gain advice for what I want to do with my future. It will positively inďŹ&#x201A;uence what I do with myself later in life.â&#x20AC;? The Sixth Annual Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leadership Forum is scheduled for March 4, 2020.

Mercy announces official health care partnership with OHSAA Mercy Health, a Catholic health ministry serving Ohio and Kentucky (part of Bon Secours Mercy Health), announces that it will serve as the exclusive Official Health Care Partner of the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) for three years. OHSAA promotes the values of participation in interscholastic athletics as an integral part of a student’s educational experience. As OHSAA’s Official Health Care Partner, Mercy Health will have a presence at state championships and tournament events. It will serve as a thought leader and education provider of orthopedic, sports medicine and general health information for administrators, coaches, athletic trainers, student athletes and parents. Available educational resources include content that coaches, parents and students can use to:
• Prevent the most common injuries • Recognize and treat concussion • Understand the role that proper stretching, hydration and nutrition play in keeping student athletes healthy • Determine when a student has fully recovered and is safe to return to play In addition, Mercy Health is collaborating with the Governor’s office and OHSAA to develop an initiative that will offer school engagement programs addressing youth addiction prevention as well as resiliency. “Mercy Health is pleased to partner with the Ohio High School Athletic Association to share the expertise we’ve developed as the state’s leading sports and general medicine partner to 85 schools and counting,” said Don Kline, President, Great Lakes Group, Mercy Health. “Our goal is to keep kids
safe on and off the field and we’re excited to partner with Governor DeWine’s office and OHSAA to provide proven resources that address addiction with kids, families, communities and schools that need support.” “This new partnership between Mercy Health and the Ohio High School Athletic Association is focused on ensuring our students are healthy,” said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. “We know that many who battle substance use disorder become addicted to opioids after taking prescription medication following an injury. Raising awareness about alternative injury treatments, injury prevention and responsible recovery from an injury can help prevent addiction.” “At OHSAA, we believe that participation in interscholastic athletics programs complements a student’s school
experience and teaches lifelong lessons of hard work, teamwork and self-discipline, in addition to promoting citizenship and sporting behavior, instilling a sense of community and fostering a lifetime appreciation for sports and healthy lifestyles,” said Jerry Snodgrass, executive director, Ohio High School Athletic Association. “We’re adding to the resources available to our more than 1,600 member schools by partnering with Mercy Health to provide vital health information and develop and make available proven addiction prevention resources across the state.” Mercy Health, OHSAA and the Governor’s office will work collectively to identify and deploy science-based best practices with the aim of connecting students, parents, faculty and administration to much needed addiction prevention and resilience resources.
Is competition bad for your child’s development? Summer From the American Counseling Association Competition is a fact of life, especially for children. It may include anything from who did best on the spelling test, to organized sports in or out of school. And while competition can bring stress about doing well, or disappointment when efforts come up short, healthy competition is actually a good thing for children. Child development experts advise that healthy competition helps children develop skills needed in adulthood. They learn to take turns, to work hard for success, perhaps to be a team player, and how to deal with both winning and losing. It’s important for parents to help guide their children in handling competitive experiences. The first question shouldn’t be, “Did you win?” but rather, “Did you have a good time?” When parents always emphasize winning and coming out on top, they are increasing the pressure that make competition a negative experience. Is your son or daughter involved in
The
Counseling Corner healthy competition? If so, you’ll find the child asking to participate in the activity again and being able to win or lose gracefully. They will be interested in learning new skills and be willing to work to improve. Simply participating will be appealing, regardless of the outcome. However, when competition is proving unhealthy for a child you will see different attitudes and behaviors. The child will often not want to participate, or may fake an illness to avoid the activity or simply refuse outright to play. The activity may promote anxiety resulting in difficulty sleeping or eating, or cause worry that affects other areas of the child’s life.
So how does a parent encourage healthy competition? One starting point is to model good behavior. In sports, don’t blame the coach or referees for a losing outcome, but instead praise the child for the effort put forth, regardless of the outcome. Experts advise that one key to healthy competition is to show your children that the most important competitor is themselves. Did the child learn some new skills? Did he or she do better in their performance this time compared to past times? Praising the children’s improvements moves the focus to their efforts, not the competitive outcome, and helps build confidence and self-esteem. Emphasize the fun in the experience of participating, not in simply winning, and you’ll have a child who is getting the most from competitive experiences. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

It’s nearly unanimous — Schmeltz top player again By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com For the second straight year, Eastwood 5-foot-10 junior guard Jamie Schmeltz has been voted the Alan Miller Jewelers AllPress Player of the Year. This year it was not even close as she garnered 90 percent of the vote from 10 area coaches and 10 media members. All but two votes went to Schmeltz, a third team All-Ohio selection in voting by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association. Schmeltz averaged 22.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, four assists and 5.2 steals in leading Eastwood to a 19-5 season and NBC cochampionship (10-4). She also eclipsed the 1,000-point career mark her junior season and is on track to become Eastwood’s alltime leading scorer her senior year. “Jamie had another fantastic season while battling through a meniscus injury that occurred during the ninth game of the year,” said Eastwood coach and Jamie’s brother Nick Schmeltz. “She was able to come back sooner than expected and didn’t miss a beat. To average over 22 points a game is extremely difficult and to do so requires that you have no nights off. Jamie, combined with her points scored and assists, accounts for over 50 percent of our team’s total offense,” Nick continued. “Jamie does this all while being the focal point of opposing teams defenses as well. We are very grateful and excited that we can get one more year with Jamie and are hopeful for an ever better season next winter.” The other two POY votes went to Lake 6-foot senior forward Lexi Robinson, who will play basketball at NAIA Rochester (Mich.) College next season, Robinson averaged 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 steals

and 3.2 assists and was voted honorable mention All-Ohio in Division II. “She scores the ball for us, but the increase in effort on the defensive end stands out the most from past years to this year,” Lake coach Joe Nowak said. “Over the summer she looked like she took it more serious at that end of the floor. I’m happy she realized that, because that will help her when she does go on to the next level.” Joining Robinson on the All-Press first team is Lake 5-9 senior guard Mya Staczek, who averaged 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 4.4 steals, but also had to miss the very end of the season due to an injury. “She’s been our best on-ball defender and she and Lexi set the tone defensively for the rest of them,” Nowak said. Robinson and Staczek led the Flyers to a 17-6 season and they shared the NBC title with Eastwood and Elmwood. Woodmore finished the NBC season three games back at 7-7, but the Wildcats went on a tournament run reaching the D-III district final, where the Cats fell to Delta, 44-29. However getting there Woodmore defeated Swanton, 53-42, Otsego, 56-40 and Eastwood, 54-53. They had lost twice to the Eagles during the regular season and once to Otsego. The Wildcats finished the season 17-9 and in voting Woodmore coach Kyle Clair tied with Nick Schmeltz for All-Press Coach of the Year honors. The fifth first team selection is Oak Harbor 5-6 junior guard Sophia Eli, who averaged 13.7 points, five rebounds, and accumulated 45 steals and 69 assists. The Rockets finished the season 10-13 and 6-6 in the SBC Bay. (— sportswriter Mark Griffin contributed to this story.

After state tourney run, it’s onto college for 4 seniors By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com At the Schottenstein Center in Columbus Thursday. Cardinal Stritch boys basketball’s magic season ended at the hands of Cleveland Heights Lutheran East, 58-53, at the Division III state tournament. Nonetheless, basketball will continue for four Stritch seniors. The Cardinals finished the season 24-4 and made the first run in school history to the state final four. Lutheran East (20-8) moved on to face Canal Winchester Harvest Prep (27-2) in Saturday’s championship. Four Stritch seniors, 5-foot-10 point guard Jordan Burton, 6-3 senior forward Little Anderson, 6-6 senior forward Ashton Caryer and 6-7 senior forward Nolan Finch are all looking to continue their basketball careers at the next level. Burton, who averaged 14.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.1 steals, is a second team All-Ohioan expected to sign soon to continue his cage career at NCAA Division II Notre Dame College. Anderson, who averaged 13.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 steals, will take a slightly different route. Prep school in some states allows a high school player to have another year of eligibility before going to college. “Little and I have sat down and talked, and we’re 99 percent sure he’s probably going to go to prep school in New England,” Kachmarik said. “For one thing, I’ve been telling this story about Little — his first organized team was when he came to Cardinal Stritch as a freshman. “A guy told me when he was coming, ‘Hey, this guy can play a little bit but he just needs to be taught.’ And, he was like a sponge, and he soaked it up.

the outside shooting and get even better so he can play some two-guard. That’s the plan.” Kachmarik remembers how it was for Anderson when he first came on the scene at Stritch. “One funny story I’ll share as a freshman when we had our first game at home, and we’re playing Danbury on Friday and we had Fremont St. Joe at our place on Saturday and the JV game is done, and in the locker room, the varsity goes out and warms up and he’s still in his chair. I’m like, ‘Little are you OK?’ And, he says, ‘Coach, do we play another game tomorrow?’ And, I’m like, ‘Yeah, he’s never done this before.’ “So, it was so new to him at that age and what he’s done now, it’s remarkable. Trust me, I think one year after prep school, not only will he be signing D-I, because not only are his skills good, he’s an unbelievable kid who is in National Honor Society. So, let’s get him out to New England and let the Patriot and Ivy leagues and those schools out there get to see him for a year and hopefully, it will work out.” For the two big men, Finch and Caryer, NCAA D-II and D-III schools are already knocking and you see those coaches talking to them after every game. Finch averaged 5.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks and shot 64 percent from the field and 73.9 percent from the free throw line, playing on a mostly guard-oriented team. “Nolan is probably going to go Division III. I know Bluffton, Heidelberg, and Tri (Tri-State) have really been on him,” Kachmarik said. “So, he’s a very good student, and Nolan age-wise, could be a junior — he has one of those birthdays. So, he just keeps getting better by maturing and getting older. So, his best basketball is ahead of him in college. And, Ashton signed with (NCAA D-II) Tiffin (University) early.”

Waite’s Taylor Works leads Owens to national runner-up The Owens Community College women’s basketball team, which played with just six players almost the entire season, came up short in the NJCAA Division III national championship game, losing to Hostos CC (28-5), 73-63. Hostos, out of the South Bronx, New York City, won its second straight championship and entered this year’s tournament as the No. 1 seed. As a team, Owens shot 35.7 percent (20-56) from the field and 73.9 percent (17-23) from the free throw line. Taylor Works (Waite), in her final game in an Owens uniform, led the Express with 19 points on 5-for-10 shooting and 9-for11 from the free throw line. She also had nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals against Hostos. Her play over the course of the tournament was good enough to get her named to the NJCAA All-Tournament team. The Express’s season ends with an overall record of 25-9. The national runnerup finish is the highest the program has ever placed in its history. The previous high was third place during the 2014-15 season. Owens also won its seventh straight Ohio Community College Athletic Conference title. In the process, the team became the first D-III school to share or win an OCCAC championship. The team won the Regional XII championship for the second year in a row. They also won the District B Championship over Rock Valley, who was the national runner-up a year ago, losing to Hostos. Works finishes the season as the team’s leading scorer with 17.4 points per game and the team leader in assists. Moreina Moore and Shyah Wheeler each averaged 17 points per game this season. Whitney Thames averaged a double-double for the year with 10.6 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. She was the team leader in rebounds. Earlier this season, on a day meant for the Owens team's only sophomore, Works showed why she has made such an impact in her short time in an Express uniform. The sophomore had 36 points to help the Express to a 111-32 victory over Hocking College. (— by Chris Schmidbauer/Owens Sports Information Director)

Inspirational Message of the Week: Letting Go of Bitterness
Oak Harbor junior Jac Alexander (2), who scored his 1,000th career point this season, goes to the bucket in the Rockets' tournament loss to Carey. (Photo by Doug Hise)
Alexander challenges himself to be good person By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Even the great ones usually don’t score 1,000 points until their senior year. But Oak Harbor’s Jac Alexander bucked the trend and scored his 1,000th point as a junior. He did so in a 41-34 loss to the Genoa Comets in the last game of the regular season, accomplishing the feat before a nearly sold out gym in Genoa. Alexander joined an elite group of players — Dan Christie, Don Christie, Greg Holman, Jon Thorbahn and Steve Keller, Jr. — who have scored 1,000 points for the Rockets. “To know that only five other people have done it in Oak Harbor history makes it special,” Alexander said. “We wanted the win, but it was nice getting (the milestone) against Genoa because it’s a cross town rival. At the end of the day we wanted to win. It was a packed house and I thought it was cool that Genoa was nice about (celebrating), too.” Alexander, who averaged 21.5 points per game, has been a mainstay in the starting lineup since he was a freshman and led the team in scoring this year. He’s helped to rebuild the program, one that has gone 3315 in the last two seasons and won its first sectional title in nearly 20 years. “I was extremely happy for Jac. He’s a great young man, he’s been a three-year starter at point guard for us,” said Oak Harbor coach Eric Sweet. “He works tremendously hard, he’s unselfish, he’s everything you want in a point guard and in a player. That’s a tremendous honor to get to 1,000 points as a junior. It goes to show what his ability is.” The arrival of Alexander and Clay Schulte, who are only part of a talented class, has coincided with the rebirth of the program. “In his freshman year, he came into the program, (and) I never once hesitated (to start him). He immediately came and played varsity, we threw him into the fire,
and he has handled it tremendously,” said Sweet. “There was never a question that he belonged, and he’s proven it. This year was a huge year for him. He scored 517 points, which is fourth all-time in a single season. “It’s not an easy task to be a scoring point guard. It’s much easier to be a wing scorer than a point-guard scorer because you have to get the team into the offense. He couldn’t take a break on offense. He did it tremendously. It speaks to his athletic ability. He was asked to do a lot and he handled it every day.” Alexander is a three-sport star who is also the quarterback of the football team and plays shortstop for the baseball team. He set the single-season record for passing yards for the football team last fall, breaking a mark that stood for 23 years while leading the Rockets to a Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division title. Alexander also led the team to its first playoff win in 11 years when the Rockets outlasted Marion Pleasant, 28-21. In that game, he completed 11-of-17 passes for 179 yards and four touchdowns and ran 16 times for 86 yards. “Most importantly, it keeps me busy. I wouldn’t know what to do with all this free time,” said Alexander. “I think (sports) teaches you lessons in life and it can help you along the way. Basketball is like that, it teaches you a lot of lessons. Last year, we beat Genoa in the first game and then we went over to Woodmore and got beat by 30. It keeps you on your toes. Basketball is an interesting game.” Alexander is also a member of the National Honor Society and maintains a 3.7 GPA. He also had a small part in the Oak Harbor High School Thespians’ rendition of Footloose. “It was exciting (getting in the National Honor Society). I didn’t pay attention to it until my mom told me to pay attention. It was cool, and I worked hard for that. School-wise and outside of school, I did community service. That was an honor that maybe not all kids that play sports do. It’s something I worry about — being a good person.”
We all sometimes hold on to anger and bitterness for too long. Thereis something in us which wants to savor the bitterness of real or imagined wrongs which have been done to us. We obsessively return in our mind to what the person said or did, like touching the sore of a wound. But just as your mother reminded you to stop picking your scabs, we would do well to let go of anger and bitterness. In the book Flourish the psychologist Martin Seligman reports that “Holding on to anger and bitterness maintains depression and undermines well-being.” Besides being the Christian thing to do, and a
Northwood
reflection of God’s forgiveness, forgiving others allows us to move on with our lives. It’s always better to forget the wrongs done to us in the past and move forward with plans for a better future. Some people are blessed with the ability to almost immediately let things go, while others are cursed with a long memory for grievances. So even if you cannot manage to forget the wrong done to you, you might still find it in your power to forgive. “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” —Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV
