Voters are likely to see building issue on ballot

Computer initiative A committee studying the technological needs of high school students will continue its work on a proposal to provide Chromebooks for all students at the school.

The board requested the additional study after hearing a presentation by committee members.

More than one-third of the school district’s property tax revenues stem from operations at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant.

“

Members of the Benton-Carroll-Salem school board are unanimous in their opinion a new school building would be an investment in the future and have decided again to ask voters for approval of a bond issue to finance it.

After discussing the matter during its Nov. 22 meeting, the board decided it will place a bond issue on the May 2017 ballot.

If approved by voters, a new K-7 building would be constructed on land the district owns west of the Oak Harbor High School on State Route 163. It would replace the current Oak Harbor Middle School, which houses grades four through seven, and the R.C. Waters Elementary School, which houses kindergarten through third grades. The buildings were constructed in 1911 and 1956 respectively.

After hearing a recommendation from a planning committee of community members, the board placed a bond issue on the August ballot but voters rejected it.

The committee’s recommendation also called for renovating the high school building and taking the R.C. Waters Elementary School and Oak Harbor Middle School out of service and demolishing them.

If constructed, the new school building would have capacity for 942 students.

Prior to the August vote, the board and administration estimated the cost for constructing the building and renovations to the high school at about $43 million.

Board members last month directed Superintendent Guy Parmigian to advertise for requests for proposals from architectural firms for upgrades to the entrance to the high school building for enhanced security and more space.

The board will use capital improvement funds to pay for the project.

tive could be in place for the next school year but issues such as technology policies and support, training for students and staff, insurance fees and financing have to be addressed before a recommendation is submitted to the board.

Davis-Besse discussed Board members also discussed the announcement by FirstEnergy it may sell or close its coal and nuclear power plants unless the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio resume their regulating of the plants and establish price-setting procedures.

More than one-third of the school district’s property tax revenues stem from operations at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant.

Parmigian said he and Cajon Keeton, district treasurer, have met with FirstEnergy management to discuss the possible sale and plan to have additional meetings with state officials.

In a conference call last month with financial analysts, Charles Jones, FirstEnergy president and chief executive officer, said FirstEnergy Solutions and Allegheny Energy Supply, the subsidiaries which own the power plants, are struggling to meet costs at the current prices for power.

Competition from plants fueled by natural gas and from wind farms have helped keep prices down in the wholesale markets where FirstEnergy’s generating facilities compete, Jones said.

The company last month reported third quarter earnings of $380 million, or 89 cents per share of common stock, on revenue of $3.9 billion compared to third quarter 2015 earnings of $395 million, or 94 cents per share on revenue of $4.1 billion.

“Our results for the third quarter exceeded our expectations due to the impact of record summer temperatures on our distribution business, as well as solid operations across each of our business segments,” Jones said. “We also continue to make solid progress on our regulated growth strategies that are designed to provide predictable and customer-service oriented growth.”

Selling or closing its generating plants, would enable the company to focus on the distribution of power.

FBI conducts raid in Northwood

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The FBI, the DEA, and the State of Ohio Medical Board executed a federal search warrant at a Northwood doctor’s office last Wednesday morning.

The medical board had received complaints about Dr. Haridas Dasani, whose office is located at 500 Commerce Park Blvd., where the raid took place.

Northwood police were asked by the FBI to assist in the raid, according to Police Chief Tom Cairl.

“They called us to make sure we would be available to help just in case something happened while doing their work,” said Cairl. “You never know what’s going to happen in local communities. It went off

without a hitch. They executed the federal search warrant, took control and did their thing.”

Cairl said he had no more information regarding details of the raid or the search warrant.

He said police have previously received complaints from the public about loitering in Dr. Dasani’s office parking lot.

“People have complained about some people hanging out there. But that’s all we’ve had.”

The Press was unsuccessful in reaching Dr. Dasani for comment.

According to the online website “doctor.webmd.com,” Dasani graduated from the Baroda Medical College, Gujarate, India, in 1971. It also states that he specializes in family medicine and addiction med-

Time capsule uncovered

Father Timothy Ferris, St. Boniface Parish, Oak Harbor, holds the contents of a 100 year old time capsule unearthed at the church. The capsule, which was placed under the church cornerstone, contained coins from 1915, newspapers, and a handwritten scroll on the history of the church. Church constuction began in 1915 with the foundation dug by parishioners, and was completed in 1916.

Sealed warrant The FBI regional office in Cleveland, which covers Toledo, confirmed the raid, but could provide no further information because the search warrant has been sealed.

“Yes, we were there today, but that’s all the information I can provide right now,” said FBI special agent Vicki Anderson.

“The warrant is sealed right now and will be unsealed at a later date,” she said.

“I’m not exactly sure when that will be.”

During a raid, FBI agents show their identification to the target of the search warrant, such as Dr. Dasani, and provides information as to why they are there, said Anderson.

“They are told what kind of investigation it is, what we are authorized to look at and remove from the premises, based on the search warrant,” she said. “When we depart a location, we provide a copy to an indi-

vidual of what items we take, then return a copy to the court at a later date indicating what items were taken from the location.”

Calls to the State Medical Board were not returned to The Press.

The raid took place at the same location where an obstetrics and gynecology doctor had sexual relations with several patients.

Dr. Peter Johnson, who had been practicing medicine since 1993, had his license suspended for two years by the state licensing board last year.

Bike path to extend between Seaman and Brown

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday approved a $71,954 contract with Poggemeyer Design Group, Inc., of Bowling Green, to design a multi-use bike path between Seaman and Brown roads.

The proposed 10’ wide path would have a north-south alignment adjacent to the trunk waterline within Toledo Edison tower easements, located mid-way between Coy and Lallendorf roads.

Funding for the design was included in the 2016 budget.

Poggemeyer had assisted the city with the design and construction of several previous segments of the multi-use bike trail system in the city.

Poggemeyer has already designed a waterline along the route of a portion of the proposed path, from Brown Road to Navarre Avenue. The firm will save the city money by using the existing topographic survey and subsurface investigation from the waterline project to develop the trail.

“Poggemeyer has already designed five of the last six segments of our bike trail,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman.

“They do have survey work already done between Brown and Navarre, which is part of the Brown Road trunk waterline. It does make sense to hire them for this work.”

He said the path could go between Starr and Pickle as the first phase of the project.

“One destination off of Seaman could be the GAF. They already have a bridge over Amlosch Ditch,” said Roman. It may even connect to Nature Trails Park off Curtice Road, he added.

Grant monies could be available for the bike path, he added, particularly since some of the work has already been laid out as part of the waterline project. “We’re more likely to get grant money than someone else,” he said.

Property values “Cities that invest in this sort of infrastructure, especially when it dovetails with water and sewer projects, increases property values for the next generation of home buyers in Oregon,” said City Administrator Mike Beazley. “It will really help connect us. You’ll be able to go from neighborhoods off Pickle and Brown all the way to Maumee Bay State Park, or get to our high school or recreation facilities at the junior high. There’s really no place in this region that connects that sort of recreational infrastructure together this well. It’s actually kind of exciting. It takes a long time to get it done. But it’s a real opportunity for us as we keep moving forward on this.”

Mayor Mike Seferian agreed.

“It will connect to a state park, a metropark, and now a city park, depending on what Northwood wants to extend,” he said.

“I totally agree that this is an absolute-

ly fantastic project,” said Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, a long time environmentalist.

You guys are doing a great job.”

She said she’d like to see maps of the bikeways to help promote them to the community.

“I don’t think our community knows how many bike trails we have and how great this really is. People outside Oregon might want to come here, take their bikes along the trails to go from Pearson to Maumee Bay and along the Bay. It’s a great experience. I think we need to market ourselves better as a quality of life community and a bikeway community. I would encourage we do this with a professional marketing firm to make sure it’s really done right and presents itself well, that we’re all proud of our community, and others will look at us maybe in a little bit of a different way,” said Bihn.

Unique trail Seferian noted that the bike path in Oregon is unique because it doesn’t always follow major roads.

“Most of the other parts go along roads, with the exception of coming through here,” he said. “It takes us off the beaten path.

So it’s kind of neat that way. One time we talked about putting some type of connecting trail along Wolf Creek, which would be

kind of neat, too, because it would not be connected to a roadway.”

Bihn agreed.

“If you can ride into Pearson Park and ride onto the trails, and ride through Maumee Bay, then along that magnificent three-quarter mile stretch that’s right on the bay, it’s a really cool experience.

It’s something many of us have done, but many just don’t know about it. Trails that are within the parks - which are substantial in Maumee Bay and at Pearson - would be something to include in the marketing plan. It think it would make us all proud.”

Councilman Steve Hornyak said it would be a good idea if the city is going to extend its bike path to find funding in the recreation department. “It probably warrants consideration as we enter into the budget cycle again, if we’re thinking about connecting these (trails) together.”

Bihn said the trails could also provide a “different way to go bird watching.”

“If we were doing biking and birding through the parks, it would be a unique way, instead of driving down the roads, to go bird watching. It might be really cool that not many communities could offer,” said Bihn.

Roman said construction is expected in 2018, but completion depends on how much the city wants to develop at one time.

Dog license signups Applications for 2017 Wood County dog licenses may be filed through Jan. 31.

Ohio law provides that before Jan. 31 of each year, dogs 3 months of age or older shall be registered in the county in which the dog is kept.

Information required for registration includes age, sex, whether the dog is spayed or neutered, color, length of hair, breed of the dog and the name, address and phone number of the owner.

As a convenience, the auditor’s office mails renewal registration forms to owners of record. Owners who registered online in 2016 will receive a reminder email.

Dogs may be registered for a one or three-year term or a permanent license (for the dog’s life). The three-year and permanent licenses may only be purchased by mail or in person at the Wood County Auditor’s Office. Fees are $14 for one year, $42 for three years and $140 for a permanent license.

Kennel owners are also required to register annually with the county auditor. The application fee is $70.

Persons acquiring dogs after Jan. 31 have 30 days after the date of acquisition or the date that the dog reaches 3 months of age to register. Dog registrations may be filed by mail, in person, or online at http://dogtags.co.wood. oh.us/. For more info, call 419-3549150.

Marijuana seized A California man is facing felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized 71 pounds of marijuana worth approximately $330,000, following a traffic stop in Wood County.

On Nov. 21 at 10:16 a.m., troopers stopped a rented 2016 Ford Expedition with Washington state license plate registration for following too closely on Interstate 80, near milepost 71.

Troopers observed criminal indicators and a Patrol drug-sniffing canine alerted to the vehicle. A probable cause search revealed 10 gift wrapped boxes containing approximately 71 pounds of marijuana, 360 THC pills and a pound of hash wax oil.

The driver, Daniel A. Yates, 31, of Eureka, California was incarcerated in the Wood County Jail and charged with possession and trafficking in drugs.

Wood County

Last call for comments on draft land use plan

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The final session for the public to comment on a draft land use plan for Wood County will be Dec. 7 from 6:30-8 p.m. at the county’s district library, 251 N. Main Street, Bowling Green.

The document, which is being prepared by staff of the Wood County Planning Commission, will serve as a guideline for future development of unincorporated land in the county.

The public can also view the plan and offer comments at http://planning. co.wood.oh.us/, said Dave Steiner, director of the planning commission.

Once complete, the plan’s primary role will be to provide guidance when local officials are asked to approve requests to rezone land for what is considered incompatible as well as compatible uses to neighboring property, he said.

The county’s current plan was adopted in 2007. While discussing the need for a new plan earlier this year, Steiner said he’s noticed an upswing in residential development after the recession – particularly in the northwest part of the county.

Some findings of the proposed plan are: • While Lucas County is experiencing a current decline in population and a long term decline in employment, forecasts for Wood County anticipate steady population growth through 2050.

• Increasing value for agricultural parcels, especially in transitional areas of the county adjacent to Bowling Green, Perrysburg and North Baltimore, could result in a shift of land from farming to residential or commercial.

• While the urban/suburban part of Wood County are seeing expanding greenfield growth pressures, shifts in the rural and village populations are generally on a decline. Factors such as land consolidation into corporate operations, average age of farmers and declining housing conditions in some villages have contributed to the decline.

• Some villages are reporting significant recent changes in population and households. It could indicate a shift in rural population from farmsteads, but could also mark more recent investments in water and sewer infrastructure to remedy failing septic systems in areas near villages. The final plan should recognize the trend and provide a land use framework that supports the shift.

• Approximately 73 percent of households in Wood County contribute less than 30 percent of their household income towards housing costs with 49 percent of households contributing less than 20 percent.

On average, the townships are more affordable than cities with 49 percent of households in townships contributing less than 20 percent of household income towards housing costs compared to 43.2 percent in cities.

Oregon plans 4-way stop at Starr, Lallendorf James Optical moves to new office After more than 33 years at 2737 Navarre Ave, Suite 202 in Oregon, James Optical has moved around the side of the same building to Suite 204.

James Optical opened in St. Charles Hospital in 1976. James Fennewald moved the family-owned optical center to 2737 Navarre Ave, Suite 202 in 1983. His daughter, Mariah Schuster, has also joined in the daily operation.

“Our little office in Suite 202 was just not enough space, not enough parking, and needed too many improvements to handle the growing business, “he said.

The new optical facility will provide more space, privacy, and comfort to patients, as well as the better integration of services.

Holiday store opens Jimmie Hall is opening Artifacts & More at 139 W. Water Street, Oak Harbor, for the holiday season. The store will feature crafts, artwork, food, candies, gifts and other works of local artists.

Store hours are Monday through Sunday, noon to 7 p.m.

“I want to bring the products of the artisans in Ottawa County into the village,” he said.

Hall also plans to open a second location in the Village of Pemberville.

The phone number is 419-635-5252.

Joins practice Dr. Lillian Miller is joining doctors Abeer Ahmed, Ian Leggat, Megan Porter and CRNP Marcia Amstutz at Women’s Care of Wood County, Bowling Green.

Dr. Miller is a native of Bowling Green and graduated from the Ohio State University. She completed residency training at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital and most recently came from Sunforest OBGYN Associates where she practiced obstetrics and gynecology. She focused primarily on high risk obstetrics, gynecological and breast screenings as well as general genealogical care for women of all ages.

Oregon plans to install a four-way stop at the intersection of Starr Avenue and Lallendorf Road in an effort to reduce severe traffic accidents.

Currently, the intersection has a twoway stop on Lallendorf Road.

“We’re very conscious of that intersection by Pearson Park,” Mayor Mike Seferian said at a council meeting on Monday.

“People tend to stop when they don’t have stop signs, and not stop when they do have stop signs. It’s been an issue for a number of years.”

Starr and Lallendorf are two-lane roadways with a speed limit of 35 mph. A multiuse path at the northeast corner of the intersection generates low pedestrian/bicycle traffic. The surrounding neighborhood at the intersection is residential and agricultural to the west, and Pearson Metropark on the east. Bike lanes are west of the intersection. Cyclists and pedestrians often cross Starr Avenue on the east side of the intersection to access the multi-use path.

Public Service Director Paul Roman said the city hired DGL Consulting Engineers to perform a warrant, or traffic study, at the intersection. Crash reports were collected and analyses were conducted. According to DGL’s report, 11 crashes occurred from 2013 through 2015. All crashes were left turn or angle crashes, with failure to yield a leading contributing factor. All crashes occurred with dry pavement and favorable weather conditions. Four of the 11 crashes occurred in August and September. Of the 11 crashes, two involved bicycles and one involved a motorcycle. The bicycle crashes occurred in the crosswalk, one north and one south.

Both crashes were failure to yield to a pedestrian/bicycle legally in the crosswalk.

The motorcycle crash, which resulted in a fatality, was also a failure to yield.

Traffic count During a traffic count on July 12, city staff noted that 22 vehicles treated the intersection as a four-way stop.

“The day we did the traffic counts, 22 people stopped on Starr as they’re heading west at Lallendorf, thinking it’s a four-way stop. That makes it unique. I believe part of that is due to Starr having somewhat of a curve to it so that when you come out of Pearson Park and you’re new to the area, you come out of that curve thinking you need to stop. That’s the reality of it. When you do a warrant, there are six categories that they look at. There really was only one category that warrants a change at the intersection, and that is the number of accidents,” said Roman.

Typically, a study is conducted at an intersection if more than five accidents occur there in a 12 month period, said Roman.

In 2013, there were six accidents, with two of the six involving pedestrians.

“And sometimes it was a pedestrian in

complaints about the intersection during the summer.

“My original thought was a traffic light.

After reading the report from DGL, it’s pretty clearly explained why the multi-way signs will be more appropriate. I’m sure we’ll hear some concerns from people about stopping at that intersection. But some of the crashes that we had were quite serious.

When everyone has to stop at a stop sign, we may still have some crashes, but they are going to be at a lower speed with probably a lot less injuries,” said Zale.

“This will work to improve the safety of our citizens, many of whom use this busy intersection,” said Councilman James Seaman after the meeting. He added that solar warning signs will go up soon at the intersection to give the public a “heads up” before the stop signs are installed.

“The special stop signs have been ordered, so the process will begin shortly,” said Seaman.

a crosswalk. No matter what you do, things like that shouldn’t happen. Unfortunately, they do,” said Roman.

In 2014, there were two accidents, followed by three accidents in 2015.

“We did look at keeping this intersection a two-way stop, letting it remain as it is, where you could put up a red beacon or flashing light for Lallendorf traffic, and a yellow flashing light for Starr, similar to what is at Corduroy and Wynn. But we don’t think it would eliminate angle accidents. And those are the more severe accidents. If you pull up on Lallendorf, and you have a flashing red, and you’re not from the area, you may think Starr has a flashing red, too. It’s a false sense of security. So that’s the problem. I think all in all, a four-way stop is warranted, certainly is recommended as a part of that study,” said Roman.

Safety improvement “Overall, there will be a safety improvement,” Roman said of a four-way stop. “I’m not saying there won’t be accidents. But there will be less severe accidents. More like rear end collisions and collisions at much lower speeds, so therefore it is safer.

So in order to do this, obviously, we would put stop signs on Starr, get LED flashing that goes around the stop to make it outstanding as you pull up, and put in a crosswalk on Starr. We’d also warn the public. Even the day you do that, you have police officers present there so it goes smoothly.”

Councilman Tim Zale said he received

“Hymn of Praise” concert St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Oak Harbor, will present its Annual Christmas Choir Concert Sunday, Dec. 11 at 10:30 a.m.

The concert, “Hymn of Praise” will be a tribute to the late Carolyn Miller, who began the tradition more than 80 years ago.

Miller passed away May 22, 2016 at the age of 95.

The choir will be under the direction of Tracey Nycz, who took over the reins as St. John’s senior choir director when Miller retired.

In 2006, her senior choir commissioned an anthem in her honor entitled “Hymn of Praise.”

Following the concert everyone is invited to a soup/salad luncheon hosted by the St. John’s senior choir in the church social room. The luncheon is free, however freewill donations will be accepted.

Ottawa Co. Indictments returned After a recent session of the Ottawa County Grand Jury, indictments have been returned against the following individuals, according to Prosecuting Attorney Mark Mulligan: • Robert A. Wilburn, 27, 32 N. Leutz Rd., Lot 50, Oak Harbor, was charged with one count each of Burglary and Theft, felonies of the third and fifth degree, respectively. According to reports of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, Wilburn entered an Oak Harbor residence earlier this year, taking more than $1,000 worth of electronics.

• Kimberly Orwig, 55, Lindsey, was indicted on one count of Theft from Elderly, a felony of the third degree, after she reportedly took items from a Catawba Island Township residence where she was working as a caregiver for a four-month period earlier this year.

• Joshua J. Harder, 24, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been charged with one count of Possession of Drugs after he was found in possession of hydrocodone during a traffic stop earlier this year.

• Alison Y. Stav, 26, Trenton, Michigan, was charged with two counts of Possession of Drugs, both felonies of the fifth degree, after Genoa Police officers reportedly found her in possession of heroin and fentanyl during a traffic stop in September.

A warrant has been issued for Harder.

All other defendants have been scheduled to make their initial appearances in Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas on Dec. 21.

An indictment is merely a formal charge in the Common Pleas Court and does not denote guilt or innocence, Mulligan noted.

THE PRESS

State Sen. Edna Brown, D-Toledo, provided sponsor testimony last week on a bill that modifies the state law covering farm management plans.

Noting the 2014 water crisis in Toledo from toxic algal blooms in Lake Erie, Sen. Brown told the Senate Agriculture Committee excessive run-off from farmland is a state-wide problem.

Senate Bill 224 expands on the legislature’s prior work to reduce nutrient run-off from fields and animal feeding lots, which contributes to the algal blooms, she said. “This is a chronic issue that affects not only the safety of our drinking water, but also the tourist industry surrounding Lake Erie,� Brown said. “The General Assembly still has work to do to prevent future water crises.�

In general, current state law authoriz-

es, but doesn’t require someone who owns or operates agricultural land or an animal feeding operation to develop a management plan that abates the degradation of waterways by animal waste and other pollutants.

The bill makes management plans mandatory for operations of 50 or more acres as well as small and medium concentrated animal feeding operations. CAFOs are designated as small or medium based on the number of animals they hold and whether or not they discharge waste waters into ditches. Management plans must also include standards for applying fertilizer or manure.

Also under the bill, it is mandatory for the director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture to assess civil penalties and require corrective actions if an operation is violating standards in the management plan.

The bill also streamlines the process the director must follow to assess a civil

penalty.

Operational and management plans remain optional for those owning or operating less than 50 acres of farmland and for animal feeding operations that aren’t classified as CAFOs. However, anyone applying 350 tons or more of dry manure to fields a year will be required to file an annual report with the director of the agriculture department.

Joe Cornely, a spokesman for the Ohio Farm Bureau, said his organization is still reviewing the bill. “We don’t have a position on SB 224, and haven’t fully reviewed it as yet,� he said. “Not specific to the bill, we believe Ohio already has some of the strongest regulations in the nation. Between those and voluntary steps being taken by farmers we’re making significant progress on finding solutions to Ohio’s water quality challenges.�

Terra to host display of AIDS Quilt

Billboard contest Keith Walker, president of Walker Funeral Homes, invites junior high students in Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan to enter their anti-heroin art designs in a contest to determine the ads that will be used in the 2017 “Help with Heroin” billboard campaign (www.helpwithheroin.com ).

The campaign, held in cooperation with Lamar Outdoor Advertising, will begin in January. Contest design entries can be submitted through Dec. 19.

“Heroin abuse has grown to staggering proportions in Northwest Ohio, and while the general public is made aware of it through the media, no one can assess the true impact of the epidemic to the community. The way to get the word out is to make our young people aware about the dangers and destruction from heroin abuse. What better way than to include them in the process of making the public conscious of the issue and what community resources are available.

Students in grades 6-8 (groups or individuals) from schools in Northwest Ohio/southeast Michigan can submit their designs for a billboard. Each design must make people aware of the dangers of heroin addiction, and include the tagline www.helpwithheroin. com and a call for help phone number 419-213-6582.

Cash awards will be given to the first-, second- and third-place winners.

Local community leaders will judge the contest. Decisions of the judges are final.

Design entries should be sent to Heroin Design Contest, Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Avenue.

Toledo, OH 43623 Walker continues “Our funeral homes have a responsibility to do what we can to get the word out that assistance is a phone call away. By partnering with junior high students for the design contest hopefully, we are getting young people to recognize the dangers of opioid abuse earlier helping them to make sound decisions about abstinence.”

Two 12 x 12-foot sections of the internationally celebrated AIDS Memorial Quilt – the 54-ton, handmade tapestry that stands as a memorial to more than 96,000 individuals lost to AIDS – will be on view Dec. 5-9 in the Student Activities Center at Terra State Community College in Fremont.

The free display, being hosted by the Office of Student Activities at Terra State, will be available for viewing Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m-8 p.m. and Friday from 7 a.m.-4 p.m.

Established in 1987, The NAMES Project Foundation is the international organization that is the custodian of The AIDS Memorial Quilt.

The quilt began with a single 3 x 6 foot panel created in San Francisco in 1987.

Today, it is composed of more than 49,000 individual 3 x 6 foot panels, each one commemorating the life of someone who has died of AIDS. The panels come from every state in the nation, every corner of the globe and they have been sewn by hundreds of thousands of friends, lovers and family members into this epic memorial, the largest piece of ongoing community art in the world.

In a war against a disease that has no cure, the goal of the AIDS Memorial Quilt is to educate against the lethal threat of AIDS by illustrating the humanity behind the statistics, and inspiring compassion

Last Week's Results Were you happy with the results of the presidential election?

Bipartisan unity in a deep red state

By Sarah Anderson A couple years ago, two South Dakota men on opposite ends of the political spectrum got into a nasty fight over marriage equality. But after one offered the other an olive branch, they wound up forming a bipartisan alliance that won big this election year.

Their story offers important lessons for our divided country.

It all began with a Twitter feud between Steve Hildebrand, a gay former Obama campaign adviser, and Steve Hickey, a conservative pastor and former Republican state legislator. To defuse the tension, Hickey decided to invite Hildebrand out for coffee.

Eventually, the two men realized they had something in common: a deep concern about poverty and homelessness. They also agreed that the payday loan industry in their state was making these problems much worse.

Payday lenders give customers shortterm cash advances, typically for two weeks, against their paycheck or Social Security check. But most borrowers can’t pay back the loan when it comes due — which is exactly what the lenders want.

According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the majority of all payday loans are renewed so many times that

Guest Editorial borrowers end up paying more in fees than they originally borrowed. In South Dakota, the average interest rate on such short-term loans is 574 percent.

In a show of bipartisan unity, Hickey and Hildebrand resolved to work together to crack down on these loan sharks. They formed a coalition, South Dakotans for Responsible Lending, to take the issue of predatory lending directly to the voters.

Their goal: a 36 percent interest rate cap on short-term payday loans.

The coalition’s first step was to marshal a volunteer army of all ages, income levels, and political stripes to collect almost 20,000 signatures to get the proposal on the ballot. To build support, they held prayer vigils, gave talks at churches and Rotary and Lions clubs, and wrote letters to the editors of newspapers across the state.

For Halloween, they painted pumpkins with their campaign slogans.

On Nov. 8, despite being outspent 16 to 1 by industry opponents, the coalition won a crushing victory. More than threequarters of South Dakota voters supported the rate cap measure.

Reflecting on their success, Pastor Hickey said, “Knowing that today in America we have reached perhaps the apex of hyper-partisanship, our efforts here of working together across the party lines is really a breath of fresh air, and we believe this is the way forward.”

Hickey also made clear that the coalition’s fight isn’t over. They’re worried the loan sharks may pursue new legal tricks to keep exploiting the poor, and they’re looking for ways to make credit more affordable for low-income South Dakotans. One option they’re looking into is using a fraction of the state’s reserves to guarantee affordable loans through credit unions.

But even though there’s more work to be done, this coalition’s bipartisan ballot box success is an inspiring example of how we can still make progress in our polarized nation.

Your limitations are often self-defined Since your limits are typically self-imposed, you can push past them. You can accomplish that which you have told yourself is impossible. Although this may not be easy, it is doable. The challenge is overcoming a lifetime of conditioning yourself as to what you can’t do.

Your limits have been constructed with numerous influences. Negative criticism from others has a devastating impact on you, especially when you are younger.

Any self-destructive self-talk you engage in reinforces you limits on a regular basis.

Your past negative experiences set, or strengthen your limits. You project your future based on what has happened already.

You believe that something which hasn’t worked before can’t ever work. These thinking processes solidify your limits.

Feeling tired, frustrated, or overwhelmed erodes your chances of success.

Any negative outcomes you experience establish new limits, or fortify existing ones.

This process creates a limit setting, self-fulfilling prophesy.

Reorienting your thinking enables you to start pushing past your limits. It’s never too late to begin making changes to your mental outlook. Past experiences and naysayers only have power over your future because you allow it. You can say “no more” to these destructive forces.

Limits are pushed through with drive, determination, and discipline. You have to want to break through them. Discard all excuses for failure. Replace them with reasons to succeed. You have to believe you can, and will, push through your limits.

Your mind only allows you to accomplish objectives when you have an unshakable belief you can.

Trying is a back door to failure because it gives you a way out by saying, “well at least I tried.” So trying to push past your limits won’t work because it doesn’t result in a determined commitment to succeed.

Your limits are pushed through one

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden small step at a time. Each success builds your confidence and determination. “I can” and “I will” must be your constant self-talk.

This programs your mind for success.

Start small by pushing through a minor limitation. It can be anything holding back your progress. Set your determination to chip away at it a little bit at a time. For example, one common limitation is the inability to lose weight. When someone has tried to lose weight, and failed, they become convinced they can’t do it, and so they won’t.

Regardless of their past failures, it is possible to lose weight and push past that limitation. Positive conditioning starts with setting a small, achievable goal. So instead of having a goal of losing 25 pounds, a goal is set to lose just 1 pound in a week.

Even if it takes two weeks, success has been achieved.

Now a limit has been pushed through and the next goal to lose another pound can be set. Repeating this process eventually leads to 25 pounds being lost. How long it takes doesn’t matter because time goes by anyway.

Pushing through any limit is liberating. You prove to yourself that you can do it. This builds your confidence and fuels your determination. As you progress, it becomes easier to break through bigger limits.

Just as a brick wall is constructed one brick at a time, it’s torn down in the same fashion.

You are not constrained by time.

Pushing through each limit is what matters. How long is required is irrelevant.

Perseverance is essential, especially when

it’s taking longer than you planned, or wanted. Giving up ensures failure.

Identify your limits.

Formulate a workable plan to break through one of them. Persevere until you have succeeded. Repeat the process with the next limit.

This is how you push past your limits.

Applause to all To the editor: We recently had the pleasure of attending the Oregon Community Theatre (OCT) production of “Mary Poppins” and then, a few weeks later, the Clay High School Limelighters’ production of “South Pacific.”

Oregon has a great deal to be proud of in these groups. What an opportunity for people to become involved in theatre with the capable hands of director Jeff Smith from OCT and Thom Sneed, Clay High School director.

“Mary Poppins” was outstanding, with high quality performers and talent that exceeded amateur groups. The costumes, lighting, sound, sets and music added up to one of the finest evenings around.

“South Pacific” showcased the unbelievable talents of these young people through superb singing and acting. The staging, orchestra and talent from all were beyond compare. This ensemble showed such discipline and focus during the performance that was presented in a very professional manner. Congratulations to everyone involved.

The City of Oregon has these two gems of the arts immersed in the community and should let the support be known for them.

The Oregon Recreation Department has helped with the financing of the children’s theatre group with the OCT and the city schools have supported OCT for 30 years, allowing Fassett Auditorium to be the “home” of the OCT. Ron & Dianne Davis Genoa

Paper snowflake workshop planned at Hayes Center When Mary Gaynier learned she would have the Christmas celebration for her extended family at her home 15 years ago, she wasn’t sure where she would put everyone.

The basement was the only space big enough in her home for that many people, but the cinderblock walls didn’t really seem “festive.”

That’s when Gaynier, who has a bachelor’s degree of fine arts in drawing, decided to do something creative to turn the space into a winter wonderland.

She lined the walls with black landscaping plastic, Christmas lights and homemade paper snowflakes. The only problem was, she vastly underestimated how many snowflakes she would need and quickly realized she was going to be spending plenty of time paper crafting.

“That’s when I started experimenting with different papers and designs,” said Gaynier, of Toledo. “I’ve been doing it ever since.”

From patterns featuring snowmen to dinosaurs and alligators, Gaynier’s snowflakes are anything but basic. She will share her tips for creating similar art during a workshop from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 17, at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums (HPLM) in Fremont.

The cost is $3 for adults, $1 for kids ages 6-12 and free for kids age 5 and younger.

Gaynier will have projects prepared for all age and skill levels.

Her designs also will be featured with the Hayes Train Special model train display, a Christmas tradition at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums. The Hayes Train Special that will be open through Sunday, Jan. 8. The winding, multi-tiered model train display recalls the days of President Rutherford B. Hayes, with multiple trains running through an intricate holiday Victorian scene. The display has several interactive portions where visitors can blow the train whistle, make the Ferris wheel move, run one of the trains and more.

The Hayes Train Special has been a

Christmas tree lighting planned in Northwood

By Katie Siebenaller Press Contributing Writer An old tradition is being brought back in the hopes of breathing new life into Northwood Commons, formerly Great Eastern Shopping Center.

On Monday, Dec. 5, the plaza will host the lighting of an evergreen tree next to the McDonald’s at 2600 Woodville Rd. Festivities will start at 5:30 p.m. with a chorus from the Northwood School choir. Northwood Mayor Ed Schimmel, accompanied by several Northwood City Council members and city administrators, will light the tree at 6:30 p.m.

Families are encouraged to bring homemade or plastic ornaments for the tree. Refreshments will be available too. McDonald will be serving free hot chocolate and coffee. Don’s Donuts, also in Northwood, will be providing free donut holes. In addition, Lake Erie BBQ food truck will be on hand.

The lighting of a tree at Great Eastern, a yearly tradition since the plaza was built in 1965, had stopped years ago. Jean Garrison, who assists her husband Michael, property manager of Northwood Commons, said the goal of the event is to build community relationships and bring businesses back to Northwood and the plaza.

The plaza’s new owners, Malachite Group from New York, are in the process of renovating the plaza area with a goal of rebuilding the center to what it once was.

Natural Wanders

by Art Weber

Vintage Early America in Lancaster Co. Christmas is first and foremost, a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

It is a festive time of worship, sharing, giving and often reflecting on tradition and traditional values.

There are flashbacks to youthful memories of selecting and decorating the family Christmas tree, fireside storytelling, strolling carolers, baking and sneaking cookies, and, of course, snowy landscapes.

In our minds, whether we ever experienced them or not, are the images of a perfect country Christmas stimulated by songs from “White Christmas” to “Over the River and Through the Woods” and “Jingle Bells” with its one-horse open sleigh.

Christmas cards play on those themes with depictions of horse-powered travel through snow-covered scenes, past farmhouses with candles in every window and an elaborate wreath on the door, wooden barns, and over rock-strewn streams spanned by wooden covered bridges.

There are places like that, maybe not as perfectly inclusive as Christmas cards suggest, but darn close – places right here in Ohio, in our neighbor states, in New England. They still exist, and those communities have come to realize and protect the landscapes and architecture that reflect those traditions. Preservation, whether natural or historic, really is economic development.

Pretty darn cool and, by the way, they are great places to visit. Quaint shops, fun establishments, and good food and drink are hallmarks of the best of these places.

Take Lancaster County in southeastern Pennsylvania, for example. It’s a bit of a drive from here – eight hours or so – but the rewards are spending time in the nation’s oldest Amish settlement where that community eschews public electricity and still relies on the horse and buggy for transportation.

It’s vintage early America. A rolling landscape of well-kept farms interspersed with woodlots and a network of streams and rivers nestled in forested valleys.

Small towns like Mount Joy dot the countryside, their downtowns still vibrant and sporting immaculate historic buildings that are throwbacks to another time.

An integral part of the region’s image are covered bridges, which also conjure thoughts of simpler times. They are the “kissing bridges” of small-town rural America, picturesque and sentimental, charming and romantic. Add a coat of newfallen snow and they’re a real-life seasonal icon.

Pennsylvania has more covered bridges than any other state – 219 – and Lancaster has more than any other county. While they’ve disappeared from many parts of the country, Pennsylvania has embraced them, which is fitting since it’s said the first covered bridge was built there.

There are 28 covered bridges in Lancaster County scattered over a beautiful countryside. Locally they’ve developed five different driving tours. Each is a guide to a nice selection of bridges with ideas for other things to do along the way, routed through uniquely historic Lancaster towns and villages where restaurants, shops, art galleries and other attractions are featured.

The routes take you quite literally over the rivers and through the woods, passing well-kept farms along the way, often worked by horse-drawn equipment. The bridges are great destinations, but they’re the catalyst for many other adventures.

Lodging can be whatever you like, ranging from more traditional motor inns to specialty lodging including farm bed and breakfasts.

Dining, too, is wide ranging from gourmet to hearty traditional Amish cooking.

The Historic Revere Tavern in the town of Paradise was built in 1740. Once owned by President James Buchanan, it houses four distinctive dining rooms, with seven working fireplaces. Some are more obscure but with excellent menus and wonderful atmosphere, like Lancaster’s Belvedere Inn. For more information visit LancasterPA.

The Kaufman Distillery Covered Bridge near Mount Joy is one of 28 preserved in Lancaster County. Built in 1857, it served one of the 130 distilleries in the county at that time. (Photo by Art Weber)

Ex-deputy indicted A former Ottawa County Deputy Sheriff has been indicted on several menacing charges.

The county grand jury returned the indictment Nov. 30 against John Carpenter, 50, Port Clinton, and a summons has been issued for him to appear in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court on Dec. 21. He was indicted on one count of menacing by stalking, a fourth degree felony, and misdemeanor counts of menacing by stalking and aggravated menacing.

If convicted, Carpenter could receive an 18-month jail sentence for the felony and six months in jail for each of the misdemeanors. According to the indictment, he menaced his supervisor at the sheriff’s office.

Wood County Prosecutor Paul Dobson was the special prosecutor in the case. He was asked to review the case to avoid any appearance of conflict by local authorities.

Katafiasz was mentor to Dotson, others

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It’s usually the players who receive the accolades that get noticed, as they should.

Guys like Charles Dotson and Curtis Johnson, the greats who play in college and win Super Bowls in the NFL. But it’s their coaching mentors who deserve credit as well, and Karl Katafiasz was one of East Toledo’s best.

When we think about great athletes and the coaches who have influenced them, we often think of their coaches at the high school, collegiate or professional levels.

But sometimes it’s the youth football coaches that get through to the players when they’re so young and raw and it is they who make a substantial impact on them.

Coaches like Katafiasz volunteer their time in the hopes of having a positive influence on adolescents in the community while teaching them how to play football.

Little do they know that they’ll be making friends and developing experiences that they fondly recall years later.

Katafiasz had a profound influence on countless players, including Dotson, a Bowling Green State University standout who played youth football for Katatfiasz for four years.

During his tenure, Katafiasz worked

as an assistant coach with the Garfield Wildcats for five years before taking over as the head coach for 18 years from 197693 and then moving on to coach at the East Toledo Junior High School for 11 years (1994-04). He won nearly two-thirds of his games, going 114-57-4 (.663). Katafiasz’s teams won four championships, three of which came with Dotson, had seven undefeated teams and just six losing seasons.

Katafiasz, 75, graduated from Macomber High School in 1959 and has been a staple on the east side for decades.

“It’s very difficult at that level with the kids being so young. Some kids were good at practice, but didn’t play well in the games, and some kids weren’t good at practice, but they play well in the games.

We wanted to stress to the kids that it was a team sport,” said Katafiasz. “We told the kids, ‘If you can take us for three months, you’ll succeed.’ It’s not about football, it’s about the people (players) become when you’re an old man.”

Katifiasz also has an appreciation for Waite High School’s rich football history. He still talks about how Waite won national championships in 1924 and 1932, which was before legendary coach Jack Mollenkopf took over.

Coach “Katty” had a special connection with Dotson, something that was evident in the way they connected with one another at the inaugural East Toledo Junior Football League Hall of Fame induction

ceremony, held at Cousino’s Steakhouse. A poignant moment came when Dotson told a story about how he tried the quit the team once during practice and Katafiasz stopped him.

Thank God he did, Dotson says today.

“I was in sixth grade and I was the backup fullback,” Dotson explains.

“Practice was very detailed — it was run like a business. Coach said to me, ‘Are you paying attention?’ And I said, ‘Yes,’ but I wasn’t paying attention.

“I ran the wrong way on the play and screwed up and he hit me on the helmet.

I took my helmet off and threw it on the ground and said, ‘I quit,’” Dotson continued. “He said, ‘I’m not going to let you quit. There are going to be obstacles to face, I won’t let you quit.’ He was always there for me. Who knows which way I would’ve gone had he let me quit? It was a tremendous feeling to know you were really loved, unconditionally. “(Dotson) taught us about being respectful and having character. There was a bigger purpose — it was about being part of a team and working together. I learned that from my mom, too.”

Katafiasz, who has been married to his wife Jo Ann for 54 years, credits “all the young men and women that participated during those years,” thanking assistant coaches, advisors, mothers, fathers, and fans who supported me all these years. This award is because of you.”

Meyer, Cox — heads and shoulders above the rest

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com St. Ursula Academy senior libero Jamye Cox and Eastwood junior outside hitter Katelyn Meyer are heads and shoulders above the competition.

The proof is in that their accolades, individual statistics, and voting for all-state awards from coaches and media around the state.

Because of that, they also share Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Co-Player of the Year Awards.

The 5-foot-10 Meyer had a team-high 218 kills this season after leading her team to a perfect 22-0 regular season and a No. 10 ranking in the state coaches poll.

Meyer is the only player from the NBC or Northwest District to earn second team Division III All-Ohio this year. Other awards this year include NBC and District 7 POY honors, first team All-NBC and District 7, and she set school records for career kills (995), kills for a season (386) and kills for a match (30).

Nationally, she is on the AVCA Under Armour All-American Watch List, the PrepVolleyball.com 10’1” Toucher Club, and listed among PrepVolleyball.com top 79 juniors in the nation.

“Kate has worked so hard to make herself an elite volleyball player. I firmly believe her talent, work ethic, and improved knowledge of the game has made her one of the best volleyball players in all of Northwest Ohio,” Eastwood coach Jeff Beck said.

Meyer is humble about her success and would not want to be considered “heads and shoulders” above anyone. Fortunately for Beck, he has her for one more season.

And, she’s not the only one.

Beck has an assortment of starters returning so the Eagles will be looking to defend their Northern Buckeye Conference title next year. All five players who made first or second team All-Press will be back.

Cox’s accolades go even higher — the Oregon resident has already signed to play collegiately at Michigan State and she, like Meyer, is the only Northwest District player to be chosen first team All-Ohio, Cox's in D-I. It is the third straight year she earned first team all-state honors.

A 5-foot-3 libero, Cox was a four-year starter at St. Ursula and a two-time Three Rivers Athletic Conference POY. She played her first three seasons at SUA for Coach John Buck, who retired after last season after the Arrows reached the state final four all three years. She competed this season for Coach Sydney Antonio, who played at SUA from 1999-2003.

Cox played 79 sets this season and finished with 509 digs (with only 34 errors), 257 serve receptions, 48 aces and three kills. She had an 89.7 serving percentage.

The second-ranked Arrows reached the Division I regional semifinals before losing to 15th-ranked Cleveland St. Joseph Academy in four sets. St. Ursula graduates six senior starters, including Cox. “Jamye had a phenomenal season,” Antonio said. “She averaged close to 10 digs per set. She was a great leader, a team captain for the second year in a row.”

Cardinal Stritch has three, all seniors — setter Hailey McCourt, libero Cassidy Wlodarz and middle hitter Emily Uher.

They helped the Cardinals to a Toledo Area Athletic Conference co-championship, earning Coach Angela Hierholzer a Coach of the Year award and Wlodarz has already signed to play collegiately at Owens Community College next year.

But there is one other all-state selection whom is making her presence known this season, Oak Harbor sophomore middle hitter Peyton Bloomer, who is first team All-Press and D-II honorable mention AllOhio.

The Oak Harbor volleyball team had a great year and finished the season with a

15-9 record and fourth in a tough SBC Bay Division.

“The year had many highlights and exciting games. They have brought many successes to the program and it was an exciting season. The team had a lot of potential and once they gained the confidence and believed in themselves, they could do about anything,” Oak Harbor coach Jacki Gezo said. “Peyton was our go-to person, she is very competitive, and wants to win. She plays all-around.”

This year, Oak Harbor won its first sectional championship in 21 years by beating Perkins in five games.

“We beat some other teams in the league this year that we haven’t beat in about 11 years,” Gezo said.

Other records broken include the most

assists in a season by sophomore Kaytlynn Sandwisch (693) and most kills in a season

by Peyton Bloomer (419).

Before playing for the Oak Harbor varsity, Peyton Bloomer played travel volleyball for eight years for the Black Swamp club team, and on a national team for four years.

Bloomer and Logan Harris, each one of them a first team All-Press selection, are sophomore middle hitters who stand sixfeet tall, which provides Gezo with a bright future. Her team will return five starters next year.

All-Press Teams were based on allleague voting, with some adjustments made based on district voting. (— Press sportswriter Mark Griffin contributed to this article)

Team USA, Smolinski, enter hockey’s hall of fame

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The United States sent a basketball Dream Team to the Summer Olympics in Barcelona in 1992.

Four years later, the U.S. formed another Dream Team – only this one played on ice – to the inaugural World Cup of Hockey. Bryan Smolinski, a Genoa native and 1989 Cardinal Stritch graduate, was 26 years old at the time and was chosen to play for the U.S. The eight-team tournament was held Aug. 26 through Sept. 14 in 1996 at nine different venues in the U.S., Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany and Sweden.

“I remember when we first got together for training camp, in Providence (R.I.),” said Smolinski, who turns 45 on Dec. 27.

“We knew the Canadians were probably the favorites, followed by the Russians and the Swedes. Obviously, the star power we had was just as good as anybody. We knew that.”

Smolinski, who was drafted out of Michigan State in the first round of the 1990 NHL draft by the Boston Bruins, was a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins during the ‘96 World Cup. Some of his teammates on that squad, coached by Ron Wilson, included Brett Hull, Chris Chelios, Mike Modano and Pat LaFontaine.

The USA faced Canada in the bestof-three finals, which were held in Philadelphia and Montreal. The Canadians, whose roster included Wayne Gretzky, Eric Lindros and Mark Messier, won the opening game, in Philadelphia, 4-3 in overtime.

The U.S. responded with back-to-back 5-2 victories in Montreal to clinch the series.

The U.S. rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the third period of Game 3, scoring four goals in the final 3:18 of the game. The USA got spectacular goal-tending from tournament MVP Mike Richter, while Tony Amonte scored the game-winning goal.

“We won, so we were pretty good,” Smolinski recalled. “I played a lot of minutes. My linemates were John LeClair and Tony Amonte. We had established ourselves as one of the better lines. We jelled

Former Team USA and National Hockey League hockey player Brian Smolinski, a Genoa native and Cardinal Stritch graduate.

(Press file photo) quicker than the other lines. LeClair was a force and myself and Tony were nononsense guys and we played our game. I had six or seven assists during the course of the tournament. Our line had the gamewinning goal in the final game.”

On Wednesday, the 1996 U.S. team was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Philadelphia.

Smolinski and his wife of 20 years, Julie, attended the event. Bryan said he found out about the team’s induction via an email he received in August.

get the email,” he said. “We were very excited for that. I was pleasantly surprised.

When you talked to some of your friends who were on the team, you’d ask, ‘Did they contact you?’ Nobody really knew.”

Smolinski said one reason for the U.S. team’s success was its ability to blend the younger players with the older veterans.

“I was young,” Smolinski said. “We had a lot of ‘kids.’ Myself, Tony Amonte, Billy Guerin, Adam Deadmarsh - my era of (NHL) draftees. We had a great crop of U.S. players at different ages and I think that’s what made our team very good. I never

noticed players getting more ice time than others, or guys complaining. I never complained. I was just ecstatic to be there. I’d like to say I was playing very well, where I had a chance to shine.”

Smolinski’s first NHL season was with Boston in 1992-93; he decided to end his career, ironically, with Montreal after the 2008-09 season. He played in 1,056 games with eight teams and scored 274 goals with 377 assists. He and his family now live in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., about a 70-minute drive from Smolinski’s parents, Tom and Nancy, in Genoa.

Tom said it was “fabulous” when he learned that his son was to be inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

“He’s exceeded everything that I ever expected,” Tom said. “My wife and I just wanted him to get to college. Everything after that was icing on the cake.”

Bryan said he never envisioned playing in the NHL as long as he did.

“I had a three-year deal (out of Michigan State),” he said. “It’s easy to get (to the NHL) but it’s hard to be an NHL player, the longevity. Careers are cut short because guys don’t do the things necessary that they have to do. I wanted to play as long as I could. I just kept riding it and played until the game told me I was not able to play.”

Bryan and Julie have four children: Ashtyn, 16; Maximus, 13; Joren, 10; and Rylen, 5. Bryan spends his days ferrying four kids to three different schools, and he sells some insurance on the side. He loves to play tennis and golf and entertain friends.

Smolinski never reached the Stanley Cup Finals, losing in Game 7 in the conference finals with Pittsburgh (1995) and Ottawa (2002). He is at peace with retirement.

“I’m very healthy,” Smolinski said. “I was fortunate to never have to have surgeries. Could I have played another year or two? I could have, but I didn’t feel like sacrificing my family. My wife was pregnant with our fourth child and we had moved a lot later on in my career. I came into the league as quietly as I left it - unknown. I kind of just faded away.”

Keeper Alyssa Heintschel taking college soccer by storm

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com The accolades continue to pour in for Ball State junior soccer keeper Alyssa Heintschel.

The Clay graduate was named to the Mid-American Conference first team for the second year in a row and was named to the Academic All-District 5 First Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Heintschel is an Academic All-District choice for the second year in a row after earning secondteam honors last season.

Perhaps Heintschel’s biggest honor this season, however, was being named a team captain for coach Craig Roberts’ squad. The Cardinals won the MAC regular-season title and finished 143-3 and 9-1-1 in the MAC West Division.

Ball State lost to Northern Illinois in the first round of the conference tournament.

Heintschel, who has a 4.0 GPA in chemistry, said it Alyssa Heintschel was “a great honor but also very much a challenge and a learning experience” to serve as a BSU captain in 2016.

“Once you’re in that position, you realize how much work is involved,” she said.

“It’s not all glory, being that captain. A lot of work comes with it and it’s more than what it appears to be. You always have to be available and you’re in the eyes of everybody and under scrutiny. You always have to do what’s best for the team and set the best example for everybody else.

“You can’t be out breaking rules. Your teammates see you, as a captain, doing those things and they will think it’s OK for them, too. You have to constantly watch what you say and make sure you’re as positive and

Ball State University goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel. (Photo courtesy BSU SID) dedicated as everyone else on the team.”

Roberts, who hails from England and just completed his seventh season as the Cardinals’ coach, said the 5-foot-8 Heintschel is the epitome of what Ball State looks for in a student-athlete.

“She’s a committed student as well as an athlete and she represents us well on and off the field,” Roberts said. “It’s pretty

year award for the second straight season.

She joined Heintschel on the all-conference first team along with defender Leah Mattingly.

Prior to this season, only one player (Dee Nocero 2002-04) in Ball State history had ever earned first-team honors in multiple seasons. Forwards Sam Kambol and Julia Elvbo and defender Yela Ziswiler were named to the MAC all-freshman team.

“It was exciting,” Heintschel said of earning first-team honors. “I liked the fact that so many (teammates) got named to the All-MAC team. We had an all-around team this year. No one or two players dominated. This year was all about team chemistry and everybody feeling like they played an important role. Everybody had a role and contributed to our success this year. That helped us out a lot.”

Heintschel was 10-2-3 in goal this season with an 0.82 goals against average.

Her 0.79 GAA for her career ranks as the best in Ball State history. She ranks fourth in school history with 29 wins and is second with 18 shutouts. She recorded seven shutouts this season as the Cardinals tied a school record with 10 as a team.

“I had some better games and worse games than last year,” Heintschel said. “I had a game against Louisville, one of the best teams I’ve ever played, and we held them scoreless and beat them in overtime. I felt really confident and strong in my abilities. You don’t have a game like that every day. There were other games where I wish I would have done something differently.”

Heintschel and she and her teammates are already in the weight room preparing for next season. She said the strength coaches remind the players about their early exit from the MAC tournament this season.

“They make comments about training harder and that we’re not going to lose in the first round of the tournament,” Heintschel said. “We’ve won back-to-back regular-season (MAC) championships, but no Ball State soccer team has won the MAC tournament. That is far and away the top priority this offseason. We’re stepping it up a notch because we want to be more successful than we’ve been.”

amazing what she’s doing. She’s a captain and an immense leader. She is demanding but respectful and she’s committed to constant improvement. She doesn’t settle for an average performance. She’s a great athlete with great hands and good reactions.”

Cage coaches Sweet, Kontak optimistic, despite challenges

“

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

The winning and losing will be a byproduct of how well we do those things...

“

Oak Harbor boys basketball coach Eric Sweet, with some talent, plenty of athleticism and enough depth, is optimistic about the Rockets’ potential, but he knows they’ve got to make it happen.

“We’ve got to go out and prove it. We haven’t been doing that the last couple years. We have to get back on track like we were. I’m very optimistic about the season,” said Sweet.

“At the same time I don’t want to think that just because we had a good preseason means we’re going to have a good season.

We’re looking acting and playing better. I’m excited for this group of kids. We’re looking forward to the challenge that we’re a better team but we’re going to have to go out and do it before it becomes a reality.

If Oak Harbor is successful, it will be in part because of their multiple ball handlers.

“There are going to be times where we have four guys on the court that can handle the ball. It can be dangerous when you have four or five guys that can take off with the basketball. We’ve done a good job with that.

We have a lot of ball handling, and we want to use that to our advantage,” said Sweet. “(Freshman) Jac (Alexander) is the one true point guard we have, he’s done a nice job for us. (Senior wing Matt) Harris ran some point, (junior guard Alec) Gezo has, too. (Senior guard) Nate (Poiry) has played point guard in the past and (senior wing) Isaiah (Jefferson) has run the point before.”

But Sweet’s teams have always been known for defense, and this one will be no different.

“This year, we came in really stressing the (defensive) concepts and harped on them. We are working hard defensively.

We have some kids that can move laterally.

We’ve got a little length, and I’m excited about it. In the scrimmages, we’ve been very active on the defensive end,” said Sweet.

during the last three seasons.

“Here’s what I know — nearly every player to a fault has tried to do a little something extra for the program. But no matter the injuries, the players we lost to graduation, the standards of the program do not diminish,” he said. “We play team defense, fast break basketball and we play the game the right way.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Putting Gratitude in Our Lives We all know how nice it is to be thanked for some small kindness or good deed which we have done for another. But perhaps more important than the warm feeling that we get when someone expresses their gratitude to us, is the positive outlook that gratitude usually engenders in the person who is grateful. That is, the feeling of being grateful helps to keep us focused on the positive. Instead of harping on how bad things are, or regretting the past, gratitude looks for the positive aspect and the silver lining. And although we all may occasionally feel sorry for

Genoa

ourselves, we can alleviate some of these feelings by getting into the habit of reminding ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for. Our good health, having friends and family who care about us, and even something as mundane as going to work, are truly things for which we ought to be grateful. We should spend some time each day counting our blessings. We might be pleasantly surprised to find that this exercise itself will make our lives better. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. N.I.V. 1 Chronicles 16:34

Clay’s Mike Lee resigns, search begins for new coach

By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com Clay football coach Mike Lee turned in his resignation to the school board Monday, finishing his four years with eight wins against 28 losses.

In his resignation letter, Coach Mike Lee wrote that he was resigning “with mixed emotions,” but added “I believe it is what’s best for me and the Clay football program.” He thanked Oregon City Schools Superintendent Hal Gregory, Director of Business Affairs Dean Sandwisch, and the administration for their support.

“Also, I would like to thank you for everything you did to support Clay Football from the weight room to the new turf and everything in between.

Oregon City Schools board member Jeff Ziviski said that despite not achieving a winning record, Coach Lee restored a badly needed foundation to the program.

“Coach Lee is an amazing coach but even a more amazing person. He came into a program Mike Lee that had no foundation and he began to build that foundation.

Now we have kids learning schemes and formations early on in their high school careers that they will have the opportunity to build on each year as they move up thru the system,” Ziviski stated.

Clay, which was turned down for membership in the Northern Lakes League by a 4-3 vote when Rossford left to join the Northern Buckeye Conference, plays in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference against mostly larger enrollment public schools and parochial schools that are closer to enrollment.

“As I told Mr. Gregory earlier in the season, it wasn’t about the wins and losses but about the process and the inability to raise our level of play. I have very high standards for myself and my teams and I take full responsibility for not getting us to compete at the highest level in the TRAC,” Coach Lee wrote.

“I know we made great gains since taking over and the boys now show tremendous promise for the future but it’s time to step aside. Thursday morning I will resign as the Head Football Coach of Clay High School.”

Ziviski added, “The TRAC is a tough conference, but we can be competitive. We have some very athletically talented kids in our system. We will begin our search for a new coach. We have some teacher retirements coming up, so it is very possible that we can attract someone from the outside into the system. It would be a great opportunity for someone,” Ziviski continued.

“That’s not to say we don’t have some talented coaches internally. Larry Foley is a great coach and would be able to continue to build on the foundation that Coach Lee put in place. Dan Shifely and Gary Allen are also tremendous coaches. It will be interesting to see who applies.

“But whatever happens, whether we hire from within or go outside our current system, the next coach needs to bring a great character and a drive that can push these kids to the next level, it has to be someone with a different mindset that we have come to know and someone that is willing and able to change the culture and attitude.

“Our football program is not used to winning, but our kids are winners and if we coach them properly, an environment that knows how to win can be built. Most importantly, they would need to be able to build their staff and make sure they have a like-minded staff in place to ensure the message is consistently delivered throughout the program.”

Before coming to Clay, Lee taught health and physical education at Woodmore for just over seven years. He was hired as Woodmore’s head football coach in 1992 and resigned the position in 1998, achieving championship success and taking the Wildcats into the playoffs.

Lee went on to teach junior high and high school health and physical education in the Fostoria Community Schools for eight years, serving as the high school’s athletic director for two years. Lee’s brother Jeff, was Clay’s head football coach for eight seasons, resigning in 2006.

Ziviski said the search for a replacement begins immediately.

“The posting is up on Monday, December 5. (Athletic Director) Mr. (Mark) Beach’s intention is to interview all candidates prior to the Christmas break and make a recommendation to me. Hal will then interview the candidate and make a recommendation to the board. Of course a lot can happen that could delay or extend the process,” Ziviski said.

Ziviski said a seven member search committee is comprised of Clay High School administrators, teachers, coaches, union officials and community members.

Natasha Howard (Press Ĺżle photo courtesy WNBA)

After her second WNBA ďŹ nals, Natasha Howard heads to Korea During her first season with the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx, Natasha Howard (Waite/ Florida State) was part of the post rotation that included Sylvia Fowles, Rebekkah Brunson, and Janel McCarville.

She became a key contributor off the bench for the Lynx the entire season. In her first game against Indiana since the trade, Howard scored 11 points, on 5-for-5 shooting, and grabbed three rebounds. She matched her career high of 21 points in a July 2 win against the San Antonio Stars.

She averaged nearly seven points a game for the Lynx this season.

Howard, once again, reached the WNBA finals for the second consecutive season, although she fell short once again falling to the Los Angeles Sparks, 3-2.

Waite girls basketball coach Manny May still remains in touch with Howard. “That was beautiful for her to get to the finals again and be a part of that whole experience of the WNBA,� May said. “Now, she’s over in Korea again playing basketball. It’s year-round, round the clock, so it’s like back in her high school days — playing around the clock, but she’s getting paid for it. So, it is a different story for her.�

Howard was originally selected fifth overall by the Indiana Fever in the 2014 WNBA draft. Howard started off the 2014 season hot scoring 16 points and 21 points in her first two games as a professional.

The 21 point performance was a career high in points. After her rookie season in Indiana, Howard averaged seven points and 3.1 rebounds.

During her second season with Indiana, Howard regressed in points and rebounding, averaging 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds. The only times that Howard scored in double figures were an August 4 loss to the Chicago Sky, when she scored 13 points, and on a September 1 win against the Connecticut Sun, when she scored 10 points.

During her second season, the Fever reached the WNBA Finals, where they faced off against the Lynx. The Fever ultimately lost the series 3-2, but Howard didn’t miss a single shot throughout the entire finals, going 8-for-8 from the floor in five games.

On February 2, 2016, the Fever traded Howard to the Lynx in a sign-and-trade deal to acquire Devereaux Peters. (— biographical information from Wikipedia)

The Press Box Wojciechowski performs at camp Oak Harbor High School Long Snapper, Mike Wojciechowski, was named one of the top performers at the Rubio Long Snapping Camp in Cornelius, North Carolina.

Wojciechowski, class of 2019, competed with approximately 90 participants from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. Snappers gathered at William Amos Hough High School in Cornelius, North Carolina to learn from the best and get the most exposure possible to college coaches. Rubio Long Snapping will return to North Carolina in early 2017. “Mike Wojciechowski is extremely accurate and is growing nicely.� said Rubio.

Chris Rubio is the long snapping instructor for Rubio Long Snapping, and has followers from all over the world; attending in mass to the sought after camps and events offered across the country. In addition to these large camps, Rubio Long Snapping also offers private lessons. Over the past two years, Rubio has had over 260 snappers go to college.

Sports announcements Total Sports Complex is the host site for a four-week baseball camp starting Jan. 7 and Ottawa Hills High School will host one starting Jan. 15. Formers Owens Community College head coach John Parisho will direct one program and Ottawa Hills head coach Chris Hardman will conduct the other, both in conjunction with U.S. Baseball Academy. Classes are available for players in grades 1-12 and are limited to seven players per coach. Space is limited. Registration is underway.

Meet Mrs. Claus, otherwise known as Holiday! She's appropriately named given the season, but it's really because she was found outside a Holiday Inn. She put on her best Christmas outfit because there are lots of black cats at the shelter and she wants to stand out, plus black cats are often overlooked by adopters. She's about two years old and good with other cats, dogs and children. Her favorite thing to do is sit in the window and watch the birds and squirrels. Stop by Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet at 5250 Hill Avenue (at Reynolds) Wednesday through Saturday from 12 - 5 pm and make her greatest wish - a home for the holidays - come true!

Your Services Change, Your Prices Change, Why Does Your Yellow Page Ad Stay The Same?

An ad should be flexible...

Like your business.

Not chiseled in stone like a stagnant yellow page ad.

So consider this...

1: With cell phones, caller i.d., internet directories, search engines and competing phone books there is less reason to go to a phone book with your ad in it. On the other hand, you have The Press in your hands just like your potential customers living or working in 33,892 homes and businesses in your market area. For less than $21 a week, you can reach them in The Press Expert Section.

2: You can frequently change the size and copy of your ad in The Press to advertise seasonal offers, special prices, new products & new services.

3: Each lively issue of The Press is full of news, information and features from 20 towns and their surrounding areas in Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood Counties. More than 475 businesses and individuals use The Press each week to sell goods and services.
