Bid considered for waterline replacement By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday will consider awarding a bid for the annual waterline replacement project for the Homestead subdivision, just north of Seaman Road, and Worden Road. Bids were advertised and opened on Nov. 26. Public Service Director Paul Roman recommended the $1,167,205 bid of Hank’s Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc., Toledo, be approved as the lowest and best bid for the project. Bidding was competitive, Public Service Director Paul Roman said at a committee of the whole meeting last week. Companies that also bid on the project include Underground Utilities Inc., Monroeville, Ohio, bid $1,192,152.90; Edward Kelly & Sons Inc., Northwood,

from $899

Lake Township Police Chief E. Mark Hummer has announced a new holiday package delivery project for Lake Township residents in which packages can be delivered to the police department and picked up later at the police station. “We have had some reports of packages being taken from in front of residences, which can happen anytime, but is more prevalent during the holiday season,” Chief Hummer said. “Many people are away from home during the daytime, when packages are usually delivered, and these packages can be prime targets for thieves.” Some people choose to have packages shipped to their workplace or to have a neighbor retrieve packages and take them to his or her house until the recipient arrives home. “Those measures may not be options for some people. For example, if someone works in a factory, that business may not be open to having employees’ packages delivered there. And, some people may not know their neighbors well enough to be comfortable asking them to retrieve packages,” Chief Hummer said. The project, which will run through Dec. 21, will require residents to notify the police department in advance of package acceptance. Participants will need to pick up packages prior to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and show proper identification. Package weight limit is 25 pounds. “We want everyone to have a happy holiday season, and we are trying to do our part to avoid any disappointments,” the chief said. For further information on the project, or for requests for participation, residents are asked to call 419481-6354.

bid $1,297,283; Buckeye Excavating & Construction Inc., Norwalk, Ohio, bid $1,189,783; and E.R. Zeiler Excavating, Inc., Temperance, MI, bid $1,198,799. The project was included in the approved 2018 CIP budget. Worden Road, which had six waterline

breaks in a nine month period, was added to the waterline replacement project, said Roman. Sewer project Council will also consider accepting the $153,011 bid of Buckeye Excavating & Construction for the Norden Road Sanitary Sewer (Seaman Road to Wolf Creek) project. “Buckeye Excavating has done work for us in the past. They have done a good job,” said Roman. “They were the lowest and best bid.” The sanitary sewer project was the result of a citizens petition from properties along Norden Road this year. “We did not have money there. The construction will actually take place in 2019. We’re actually appropriating money and those funds are in the 2019 budget, said Roman. Continued on page 2

Waterline bid Continued from front page

Companies that also bid on the project include: Underground Utilities, Inc., $165,388; Geo. Gradel Co., Toledo, $157,220; Edward Kelly & Sons, Inc., $163,812; Jim Palmer Excavating, Inc., Portage, Ohio, $162,135.51; E.R. Zeiler Excavating, Inc., $178,674; Crestline Paving & Excavating Co., Inc., Toledo, $159,784; and Cash Services, LLC, Millbury, $164,382.25. Change order Also on Monday, council will consider a change order of $189,478.93 for Geddis Paving & Excavating, Toledo, due to changes in the scope of work on the Navarre Avenue Safety Improvement Project. “This ordinance will close out the Navarre Avenue Safety Improvement Project,” said Roman. The increased cost was mostly due to additional waterline installation to accommodate future development and future waterline replacement projects. “We also had a lot of utility conflicts when we put in a waterline near Grasser and Ansonia. We did have some additional asphalt and electrical work.” The Navarre Safety Improvement project included the construction of a median along Navarre Avenue, bulb out and median openings to accommodate U-turns and emergency access, and the construction of a public road to the Freeway strip mall that improves access to area businesses as well as provides access for emergency vehicles. Other improvements included upgraded traffic signals, the addition of a second left turn lane for southbound Wheeling Street, resurfacing to improve pavement skid resistance, and other related work. Also at the meeting, it was reported that the Finance Committee is currently reviewing the 2019 municipal budget, according to Councilman James Seaman, chairman of the Finance Committee. A committee meeting was held before the committee of the whole meeting to discuss public service projects for next year. “We got an overview of our budget and revenues by City Administrator Mike Beazley,” said Seaman. A Finance Committee meeting to discuss the 2019 budgets of the Fire and Police departments will be held on Monday, Dec. 10 at 6:30 p.m.

Lake Township

Trustees want traffic study request to be expanded By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A request by the Lake Township trustees for a speed limit study on Walbridge Road will be expanded to include the portion of the road from Lemoyne Road west to the Village of Walbridge. Last month, the trustees agreed to ask the Ohio Department of Transportation to conduct the study on Walbridge Road from Lemoyne Road east to State Rt. 51 with the intent of seeking a reduction from the current 55 MPH to 35 MPH. Larry Boday, a member of village council, asked the trustees during their Tuesday meeting to have the study expanded to include the western portion of Walbridge Road. The westbound lane of Walbridge Road going into the village has a lower limit than the eastbound lane, he said, causing confusion for motorists. Mark Hummer, township administrator and police chief, said the township’s request for a study can be amended to include the western section of Walbridge Road. He said he will request the study be

conducted in the spring rather than this winter when vehicle speeds could be slower due to snowy and icy road conditions. The trustees also are asking ODOT and the Wood County commissioners to make the intersection of Walbridge and Pemberville roads a four-way stop. Currently, there are stop signs on Walbridge. ODOT will also be asked to install a street light at the intersection of State Rt. 795 and Pemberville Road. In other business, the trustees approved a three-year contract with patrol officers in the police department that will go into effect Jan. 1, 2019. Under the agreement, which covers non-command officers, they will receive pay raises of 3 percent in 2019 and 2.5 percent each in 2020 and 2021. The officers’ health care contribution for the monthly premium will increase. In 2019, the contribution will be 15 percent and increase to 17.5 percent in 2020 and 20 percent in 2021. Hummer described negotiations as “very amicable” and said it was the fifth round of negotiations conducted without attorneys. Personnel matters were also approved

by the trustees: • Dan McLargin, road supervisor, is retiring after 31 years with the township. His retirement is effective Feb. 22, 2019. • Aaron Leist, the police department’s detective, is resigning to accept a position with the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, effective Dec. 14. The trustees approved promoting officer Ryan Kohlhofer from parttime to full-time. • A three-year contract with Premier Physicians Services, Inc. to be the medical director for the township’s Emergency Medical Service unit was approved. The township will pay $4,000 in the first year and $5,500 and $7,000 in years two and three.

Grant Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur last week announced a $434,739 National Institutes of Health research grant was awarded to the University of Toledo. The award is the first part of a five-year grant distributed by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research that will go toward research to protect people against oral disease.

Bike/pedestrian plan endorsed by commissioners The Ottawa County commissioners will turn their attention to securing funding for the county’s Active Transportation Plan that identifies corridors for bicycle/pedestrian routes. “The Active Transportation Plan was an eight-month effort to build a consensus on a clear county-wide vision for safe, user-oriented bicycle/pedestrian facilities…” the commissioners said last week in a prepared statement after endorsing the plan. The plan draws on existing facilities, recreation areas, historic and natural preservation sites and workplace destinations. Corridors identified in the plan include one parallel to the Portage River and one along the Lake Erie Shore. To the east, a Port Clinton to Lakeside and Marblehead corridor has been included in the plan. The commissioners said the Ottawa County Parks District and Friends of Ottawa County Parks will play a significant role in implementing the plan. Construction is scheduled to start next year on an extension of the North Coast Inland Trail from Elmore to Genoa. The $2.5 million project is being primarily funded by the Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The local share of the project – about $72,400 – will be assumed by the county and villages of Genoa and Elmore.

Ohio legislature

Proponents sound off on single-payer health care bill A bill drafted to establish a single-payer health care plan in Ohio received its second hearing last week in the state legislature. Rep. Teresa Fedor, D-Toledo, is co-sponsoring House Bill 440, the Ohio Health Security Act, with Kennedy Kent, D-Columbus. “Health care prices are rapidly increasing in Ohio. Wages are going nowhere. Ohioans have to spend a greater percentage of their hard-earned income money on health care. That’s not freedom. Expensive medical bills can be the difference between bankruptcy and the American Dream of retirement, home ownership, sending a kid to college, or starting a family,” Fedor said. Underpinning the financial components of the bill is a recently released study by Gerald Friedman, Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who provided testimony to the House Insurance Committee. The study, Economic Analysis of Single Payer Health Care in Ohio: Context, Savings, Costs, Financing, argues there is significant waste in Ohio’s health care system that can be eliminated and the savings used to help fund a single-payer system. “A single-payer program in Ohio will require $114 billion in 2019, including $75 billion in existing revenue and nearly $40 billion in new revenue,” the study says. “In terms of spending by the people of Ohio, $40 billion in new state revenues will replace over $65 billion in ‘private taxes’ currently paid into the private health insurance system and as out-of-pocket spending. And, while saving money, the new system will provide better health care to more people because single-payer will save billions in administrative waste and monopoly profits built into the current system.” Savings anticipated Projected savings from a single-payer system include: -More than $9 billion in insurance administrative waste. -More than $10 billion due to simplified

“

These costs do not serve patients. billing. -Budgeting hospitals and negotiating with drug companies on price and fraud reduction saves about $17 billion. -About $1.3 billion in administrative expenses would be saved by employers from not having to manage health insurance for workers. According to the study, about 15 percent of current insurance premiums go to redundant billing, overhead, profit, advertising/marketing and salaries of chief executive officers. “These costs do not serve patients,” the study says. Also, the study says the Ohio plan would require negotiations with pharmaceutical companies on drug prices, noting other countries negotiate and pay three to four times less than the U.S. After realizing the cost savings and other improvements, the single-payer plan would need about $40 billion in additional revenues. The study proposes options for a combination of payroll and income taxes, a surtax on high incomes, excise taxes on alcohol, tobacco and marijuana, and others. The study contends a proposed 10 or 11 percent payroll premium and premium on business net income are less than employers and employees now pay for health insurance. A $15,000 exemption would shield low-wage workers and limits the burden on small employers. Brad Cotton, an emergency room physician and former paramedic in Cleveland, urged the committee to approve the bill. “The emergency department is the only part of our health care non-system mandated, as we should be, by federal statute to see every patient without regard to their insurance or financial status. As such, I am up close and personal, eye to eye and heart

to heart with all worthy working Ohioans abandoned by the business model of health insurance,” he said. “While the Affordable Care Act aka “Obamacare” has decreased the number of uninsured by 40-50 percent, many, many persons cannot afford the bankruptcy inducing premiums, deductibles and co-pays. The Affordable Care Act was, after all, authored by the health insurers and Big Pharma for the purpose of keeping them firmly in control of health care delivery.” Dennis Slotnick, of Genoa, regional coordinator for the Single-Payer Action Network Ohio, said he is finding there is grass roots support for a single-payer format. “This testimony in Columbus is just the indicator that there is a powerful awakening of interest in single-payer health care as a real solution to the rising costs of health care,” he said. “Even the expert economists are surprised that Medicare for all will not only cost less than our present care system but will cost a whole lot less - as in $25 billion less in Ohio in one year.” More than 40 persons provided testimony to the committee on Wednesday. The bill creates the Ohio Health Care Fund to pay expenses related to the bill, including payments for benefit coverage under the plan and compensation for workers displaced as a result of the implementation of the plan, an analysis by the state legislative service commission says. “The bill establishes four new taxes as sources of revenue for the fund. Statesource revenue from these taxes to the fund is highly uncertain, but would be up to approximately $76 billion in Fiscal 2021, assuming they were in effect for the full fiscal year, and would grow in subsequent years,” the analysis says. “Both expenditures from and revenues to the fund would depend on the outcome of applications for federal waivers from Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health programs. Depending on the federal decisions made, expenditures from the fund could be higher by up to an additional approximately $41 billion per year by Fiscal 2021, but this increment in expenditures would be paid with federal funds.”

Blue Christmas The members of Elliston Zion United Methodist Church saw a need for a little more than just a normal Christmas service a few years ago. Several members who had experienced life-changing events decided to reach out to those in the community who were also having difficulty finding the commercialized joy of the holiday season. In 2015, the church hosted its first Blue Christmas Service – a service of comfort and hope to those who find the holiday season less than joyous. Some attendees had lost a special someone; others were facing financial hardships and some found themselves alone. But, through worship and prayer they found an evening of comfort, understanding, support and hope in the promise of the Christ child. This year, Elliston Zion will host its Annual Blue Christmas Service on Sunday, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. The service is open to the community and all are welcome. Those attending the service will be able to light a candle in memory of a loved one or to offer prayer for a difficult situation. They will also be able to place their concerns on a “Prayer Tree.” The Prayer Team at Elliston Zion will then meet and pray over each request following the service. The service will be led by LisaAnne Gregg, one of the church Lay Leaders who has experienced the loss of her son. Pastor Chuck Kaylor will be serving communion and assisting with the service. Special music will be provided by Kendra German; Rene Ackerman will be the pianist for the evening. Other members of Elliston Zion will be available for prayer and support to those needing assistance. Light refreshments and fellowship will follow the service. For more info, contact Gregg at 419-250-1188 or email ellistonzionoffice@aol.com.

Drug busts on I-280, turnpike By Press Staff Writer The Ohio State Highway Patrol made three drug busts over a two-week span last month on the Ohio Turnpike and I-280, resulting in the seizure of marijuana, methamphetamine and Oxycodone with an estimated street value of $264,475. The K-9 unit of the Walbridge Police Department was called to assist at a Nov. 29 traffic stop on the turnpike after highway patrol troopers pulled over a GMC U-Haul box truck registered in Arizona for a lane violation about 12:51 a.m. The dog alerted to the vehicle and a search revealed about 101 pounds of marijuana valued at $235,835. Nicholas C. Ashman, 38, of N. San Juan, California, was incarcerated in the Wood County Justice Center and charged with possession and trafficking – seconddegree felonies. If convicted, he could face up to 16 years in prison and a $30,000 fine. On Nov. 27, at 2:37 p.m., troopers stopped a Cadillac Escalade with New York registration for an impeding traffic violation on the turnpike. A consent search of the vehicle was requested and granted and it revealed a digital scale with white residue. A passenger voluntarily produced the contraband and troopers seized 50 grams of methamphet-

amine valued at approximately $5,000. Jenna Murphy, 19, of Buffalo, N.Y., and Adrien Lucienne, 28, of Toledo, were incarcerated in the Wood County Justice Center and charged with possession and trafficking methamphetamine, both second-degree felonies. If convicted, each could face up to eight years in prison and up to a $15,000 fine. Last year, troopers removed 145 pounds of methamphetamine from Ohio’s roadways. On Nov. 15, troopers filed felony drug charges against an Ohio man after a traffic stop in Wood County. Troopers seized 693 Oxycodone pills and marijuana valued at approximately $23,640 after stopping a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Ohio registration for a brake light violation on I-280. Troopers detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A probable cause search revealed the contraband. The driver, Noel Lott, 42, Mansfield, was incarcerated in the Wood County Justice Center and charged with possession and trafficking in schedule 2 drugs, both second-degree felonies. If convicted, he could face up to 16 years in prison and up to a $30,000 fine.

Ballot initiative gets council support Supporters of a ballot initiative that would extend legal rights to Lake Erie are applauding a vote by Toledo City Council to place the proposal on the ballot in February. Council voted Tuesday to place the measure, called the Lake Erie Bill of Rights, on the ballot.The measure now goes before the Lucas County Board of Elections. “The Lake Erie Bill of Rights will be the first law in the U.S. to recognize rights of an ecosystem,” said Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund organizer, Tish O’Dell. If passed, it will amend the Toledo city charter by stating the lake and its watershed have a right to exist, flourish and naturally

evolve; that city residents have a right to a clean and healthy Lake Erie. A corporation or entity that violated the rights of the lake could be prosecuted and held civilly liable. Markie Miller, organizer with the local community group, Toledoans for Safe Water, praised the city council on moving the measure forward. “The people of Toledo came together to propose this law, and we thank the city council for providing an opportunity for

the people to vote,” she said. The CELDF drafted the bill of rights for the lake at the request of Toledoans for Safe Water, which then gathered almost 11,000 signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Wade What do you ſnd most stressful about the holiday season?

DECEMBER 10, 2018

The Press Poll Did you watch any of the TV coverage of President George H.W. Bush? Yes. He was a great president. No. I didn’t care much for him as president. No. I was too busy.

Marlene Bryant Northwood “For me the most stressful thing about the holiday season is not having family around. I’m sure for the average family it’s money. My family lives away and my daughter lives on the streets. I’ve seen her twice in 9 years. Holidays are about family and when they are not there, it makes it a very difſcult time of year.”

Nick Mullins Lake Twp. “All the shopping. Dealing with the crowds and the holiday trafſc. There seems to be a lot of accidents around the holidays because of the weather and because everyone seems to be rushing around.”

Lindsay Good Oregon “Budgeting the money to buy the gifts, pay the bills and everything else that comes with it.”

David Knudson Lake Twp. “I guess traveling. This year is the ſrst year that we are going to travel down to Columbus to see a family friend for Christmas. Just the amount of trafſc between here and there I feel will be stressful.”

Woneida Evanoff Lake Twp. “Decorating. I’m a heavy decorator. I’m a 4 Christmas tree kind of gal. I’m back at work and my time is very short. I love the holidays but it can be stressful to get it all done.”

Marijuana legalization among winners in elections By Paul Armentano In Michigan, voters approved Proposal 1, legalizing the adult use, cultivation, and retail marketing of marijuana. Michigan is the first Midwestern state to legalize adult marijuana use and sales, and it is the tenth state to do so overall. Marijuana also won big in Missouri and Utah. In both states, voters approved ballot initiatives legalizing medical cannabis access. They are the 32nd and 33rd states to do so. These victories could be a harbinger of things to come in America’s heartland. Public support for ending marijuana prohibition is strong in the Middle America. In addition to these ballot measures, several incoming governors in Midwestern states campaigned on platforms that included legalizing or decriminalizing cannabis possession offenses. For example, Illinois Governor-elect J.B. Pritzker has pledged to move forward with legalization legislation during his first days in office. “In the name of criminal justice re-

Guest Editorial form, consumer safety, and increased state revenue, Illinois needs a governor who is ready to legalize marijuana,” says Pritzker. His constituents agree. According to a 2018 poll by the Paul Simon Institute at Southern Illinois University, 66 percent of voters support “the legalization of recreational marijuana if it is taxed and regulated like alcohol.” In Minnesota, Governor-elect Tim Walz made similar campaign promises to legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana sales. “We have an opportunity in Minnesota to replace the current failed policy with one that creates tax revenue, grows jobs, builds opportunities for Minnesotans, protects Minnesota kids, and trusts adults to make

personal decisions based on their personal freedoms,” he said. Incoming Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman acknowledged that “voters want us to take a look at” legalization. She’s right. According to a Survey USA poll conducted in October, 56 percent of Minnesotans support legalizing the recreational use of marijuana by adults. In Wisconsin, voters in 16 separate counties — including Milwaukee County — approved resolutions expressing support for the legalization of cannabis for either medical purposes or for adult use. The results could be a prelude to future statewide reforms. Incoming Governor Tony Evers previously floated the idea of putting the legalization question to a statewide vote, stating, “I would love to have a statewide referendum on this.” Such a proposal would likely win in the Badger State, where recent polls show 64 percent of registered voters say marijuana should be “legalized for use by adults” and “taxed and regulated like alcohol.”

Even in Texas, long the nation’s leader in marijuana arrests, there are signs of change. Lawmakers in recent days have pre-filed numerous bills to amend the state’s draconian marijuana laws. Among them are measures to facilitate medical cannabis access and to decriminalize adult marijuana possession offenses — the latter of which was recently endorsed by Governor Greg Abbott. Growing support for marijuana policy reform among the public and politicians alike is evidence that legalization is no longer a “blue” or “red” issue. Majorities of voters from all ideological persuasions now support ending criminal marijuana prohibition. The incoming changes to cannabis policy in America’s heartland are a reflection of this new political and cultural reality.

’Tis the season for us to create a national safe place By John Whitehead To a nation of snowflakes, Christmas has become yet another trigger word. The latest casualties in the campaign to create one large national safe space are none other than the beloved animated classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (denounced for promoting bullying and homophobia) which first aired on television on Dec. 6, 1964, and the Oscar-winning tune “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” (accused of being a date rape anthem) crooned by everyone from Dean Martin to Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel in the movie Elf. Also on the endangered species Christmas list are such songs as “Deck the Halls” (it supposedly promotes “gay” apparel), “Santa Baby” (it has been denounced for “slut shaming”), and “White Christmas” (perceived as being racist). One publishing company even re-issued their own redacted version of Clement Clarke Moore’s famous poem “Twas the night before Christmas” in order to be more health conscious: the company edited out Moore’s mention of Santa smoking a pipe (“The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, / And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.”) Oh the horror. After a year plagued with its fair share of Scrooges and Grinches and months of being mired in political gloom and doom, we could all use a little Christmas cheer right now. Unfortunately, the politically charged Right and Left have been trying to score points off each other, using whatever means available, that even Christmas has been weaponized. Yet just because the War on Christmas has been adopted as a war cry by Donald Trump doesn’t mean that it’s not real. Indeed, in its “Constitutional Q&A: Twelve Rules of Christmas,” The Rutherford Institute points out that some communities, government agencies and businesses have gone to great lengths to avoid causing offense over Christmas. Examples abound. In many of the nation’s schools, Christmas carols, Christmas decorations have been banned as part of the

Guest Editorial effort to avoid any reference to Christmas, Christ or God. One school even outlawed the colors red and green, saying they were Christmas colors and, thus, illegal. A New Jersey middle school cancelled a field trip to a play based on Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” because some might have found it “offensive.” In Texas, a teacher who decorated her door with a scene from “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” including a scrawny tree and Linus, was forced to take it down lest students be offended or feel uncomfortable. In Connecticut, teachers were instructed to change the wording of the classic poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” to “Twas the Night Before a Holiday.” In Virginia, a high school principal debated about whether he could mention Santa or distribute candy canes given that they were symbols of Christmas. In Massachusetts, a fourth-grade class was asked to list 25 things that reminded them of Christmas. When one young student asked if she could include “Jesus,” her teacher replied that she could get fired if Christmas’ namesake appeared on the list. Things are not much better outside the schools. While the First Amendment Establishment Clause prohibits the government from forcing religion on people or endorsing one particular religion over another, there is no legitimate legal reason why people should not be able to celebrate the season freely or wish each other a Merry Christmas or even mention the word Christmas. The Rutherford Institute’s “Twelve Rules of Christmas” guidelines are helpful in dealing with folks who subscribe to the misguided notion that the law requires anything Christmas in nature be banned from public places. Yet here’s the thing about this so-called

War on Christmas that people don’t seem to get: while Christmas may be the “trigger” for purging Christmas from public places, government forums and speech—except when it profits Corporate America—it is part and parcel of the greater trend in recent years to whittle away at free speech and trample the First Amendment underfoot. We are witnessing the emergence of an unstated yet court-sanctioned right, one that makes no appearance in the Constitution and yet seems to trump the First Amendment at every turn: the right to not be offended. This is censorship, driven by a politically correct need to pander to those who are easily offended.Mind you, the government doesn’t care about Christmas. It cares about control. By government, I’m talking about the entrenched government bureaucracy that really calls the shots no matter what political party controls Congress and the White House. The police state wants us to be a nation of snowflakes, snitches and book burners: a legalistic, intolerant, elitist, squealing bystander nation willing to turn on each other and turn each other in for the slightest offense. This plays into the Deep State’s efforts to keep the citizenry at odds with each other and incapable of presenting a united front against the threats posed by the government and its cabal of Constitution-destroying agencies and corporate partners. Why is this country in the state it’s in? As I make clear in my book, Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the answer is the same no matter what the problem might be, whether it’s the economy, government corruption, police brutality, endless wars, censorship, falling literacy rates, etc.: every one of these problems can be sourced back to the fact that “we the people” have stopped thinking for ourselves and relinquished responsibility for our lives and well-being to a government entity that sees us only as useful idiots. We are creating a schizophrenic world for our children and it is neither healthy nor will it produce the kind of people who will be able to face the challenges of a future ruled by a totalitarian regime.

You can’t sanitize reality or scrub out of existence every unpleasant thought or idea. You can’t legislate tolerance. You can’t create enough safe spaces to avoid the ugliness that lurks in the hearts of men and women. You can’t fight ignorance with the weapons of a police state. What you can do is step up your game. Opt for kindness over curtness and civility over censorship. Choose peace over politics and freedom over fascism. Find common ground with those whose politics or opinions or lifestyles may not jive with your own. Do your part to make the world a little brighter and a little lighter, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll have a chance of digging our way out of this hole. Constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead is founder and president of The Rutherford Institute. He can be contacted at johnw@rutherford.org.

Relationships built over toys

Ignore the flashing screens: best toys back to basics As digital media-based gadgets increasingly fill the children’s toy aisles, the American Academy of Pediatrics warns families against using them as a replacement to the traditional hands-on toys and games that fuel the imagination and aid in healthy development. The AAP offers families and physicians guidance in an updated clinical report, “Selecting Appropriate Toys for Young Children in the Digital Era,” to be published in the January 2019 issue of Pediatrics and available online Dec. 3. The report focuses on toys for children from birth through school age. “Toys have evolved over the years, and advertisements may leave parents with the impression that toys with a ‘virtual’ or digital-based platform are more educational,” said Aleeya Healey, MD, FAAP, a lead author of the report. “Research tells us that the best toys need not be flashy or expensive or come with an app. Simple, in this case, really is better.” Ideal toys are those that match children’s developmental abilities, while encouraging the growth of new skills, according to the AAP. Toys are key to developing children’s brains, language interactions, symbolic and pretend play, problem-solving, social interactions and physical activity – and are increasingly important as children move from infancy into toddlerhood. “The best toys are those that support parents and children playing, pretending and interacting together,” said Alan Mendelsohn, MD, FAAP, co-author of the report and associate professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Population Health at NYU Langone Health. “You just don’t reap the same rewards from a tablet or screen. And when children play with parents - the real magic happens, whether they are pretending with toy characters or building blocks or puzzles together.” Electronic toys by themselves do not provide children with the interaction and parental engagement that is critical to healthy development, according to the report. Many of the new “interactive” media -including videos, computer programs and specialized books with voice-recorded reading --make claims about educational benefits in advertisements that are unsubstantiated, according to AAP. The clinical report also covers safety considerations when choosing toys, and the appropriateness of toys for children with special needs. The AAP provides suggestions for how pediatricians can incorporate toys in the office setting. The AAP recommends that parents and caregivers: • Recognize that one of the most important purposes of play with toys, especially in infancy, is not educational but rather to facilitate warm, supportive interactions and relationships. • Understand the most educational

should be less than 1 hour per day for children 2 years or older, and avoided in those younger than 18-24 months. Children younger than 5 years should play with computer or video games only if they are developmentally appropriate, and they should be accompanied by the parent or caregiver. “The more we know about early brain development, the more we understand the need for play that is based on human interaction,” Dr. Healey said. “There is no screen, video game or app that can replace the relationships built over toys.”

This is the time of year when many businesses are looking for seasonal workers. It’s a good way for people to make some extra income during the busy holiday season or ease back into working. The diversity of jobs appeals to many people. Each year, companies also hire for seasonal work-from-home positions. These jobs include customer service, sales, tech support, call center representatives, healthcare support, order taking/review, and more. Seasonal positions may help bridge employment gaps on your resume. They show proven experience and that you are ready, willing, and able to succeed. They also can help you to develop new or strengthen existing skills through training. If you receive Social Security disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), special rules make it possible for people to work and still receive monthly payments. If you want to try working again, seasonal work may help you ease back into the work force. Read “Working While Disabled” at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN05-10095.pdf or visit our Ticket to Work website at https://choosework. ssa.gov for more information. Keep in mind that you must report all earnings, including your seasonal earnings, to Social Security; however, they also count toward your future benefits. You earn Social Security credits when you work in a job and pay Social Security taxes. We use your total yearly earnings to figure your Social Security credits. You can learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-05-10072. pdf. You can also get Social Security retirement or survivors’ benefits and work at the same time. But if you’re younger than full retirement age and earn more than certain amounts, your benefits will be reduced, although not dollar for dollar. Your benefits may increase when you reach full retirement age. You can read more about working while retired at www.socialsecurity. gov/planners/retire/whileworking. html. Getting back to work can empower you in a number of ways. Social Security is here for you throughout your life’s journey — at each step of your working life and beyond.

Older Ohioans:

Know your abilities and options to stay on the road Because being able to get around in the community is critical for older Ohioans to remain independent and healthy, the Ohio Department of Aging and the Ohio Department of Transportation are partnering to increase awareness of available resources for older drivers. Drivers age 65 and older represent the fastest-growing segment of licensed drivers in Ohio and across the nation. While older drivers are among the safest drivers on our roads, they may be more likely to be seriously injured in a crash. Ohio has seen four consecutive years of rising traffic deaths involving drivers age 65 and older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ability to get around safely in their neighborhoods allows older Ohioans to continue to feel connected and access opportunities to contribute to their communities,â&#x20AC;? said Beverley Laubert, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To maintain their mobility, older Ohioans should become aware of their changing abilities, understand the factors that can increase the risk of a crash and learn about resources in their communities to maintain their driving ability or find alternatives to driving.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many state and local programs and resources that can help older Ohio drivers stay safe on the road, as well as find alternatives to driving if they feel they can no longer do so safely,â&#x20AC;? added Jerry Wray, director of the Ohio Department of Transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doing so not only helps them maintain their independence, but

also reduces risks to themselves and others.â&#x20AC;? Normal aging may increase common risk factors for roadway accidents, including changes in vision, hearing, strength, visibility, reflexes and memory. Medical conditions and certain medications also may impact the ability to drive safely. Older drivers also may drive older vehicles that no longer fit their needs (e.g., too big or too small, or seats, steering wheel and mirrors do not adjust sufficiently). Finally, a fear of driving and traffic can increase the risk of a crash. Tips for older driver safety: â&#x20AC;˘ Stay aware of your changing physical, vision and hearing abilities and adjust your driving habits accordingly. Exercise regularly to increase and maintain your strength and flexibility. â&#x20AC;˘ Ask your doctor or pharmacist if any medical conditions you have or medications you take could make it unsafe to drive. â&#x20AC;˘ Try to do most of your driving during daylight and in good weather. Avoid busy roadways and rush hours whenever possible. â&#x20AC;˘ Plan your route before you drive and choose routes with well-lit streets, intersections with left turn signals and easy parking. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid distractions while driving, including talking or texting on a cell phone, eating, or listening to a loud radio.

conversations can also be distracting. â&#x20AC;˘ Leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you so that you can react if the other driver stops or slows suddenly. â&#x20AC;˘ Do not drive too slowly, as this can be as unsafe as speeding. The Ohio Department of Aging offers

a webpage (www.aging.ohio.gov/transportation) of transportation and driving tips and resources for older adults. The page includes a link to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay Fit to Drive,â&#x20AC;? a publication of the Ohio Department of Transportation that includes statistics about older driver crashes and tips to reduce key risk factors.

Spend wisely, shop safely this holiday season for your loved ones With the holiday shopping season in full swing, the Ohio Department of Aging, through its Golden Buckeye program and STEADY U Ohio falls prevention initiative, offers tips for consumers of all ages to spend wisely and shop safely. Spend wisely - Throughout the holiday shopping season, there are many opportunities for consumers to save big on the gifts they want to give. The Golden Buckeye program suggests a few strategies to help stretch your dollar: â&#x20AC;˘ Ask anywhere you spend money if they honor the Golden Buckeye Card or offer another discount for which you may qualify. â&#x20AC;˘ Set a budget and stick to it. Consider payment methods carefully. Cash is the best way to control your spending but can be easily lost or stolen. Debit cards and checks can help you avoid finance charges but are particularly risky if lost or stolen. Credit cards often offer the best consumer protections against loss and theft but can

cost you more in the long run in fees and interest. â&#x20AC;˘ Compare prices using store sales circulars and websites. Save your receipts and continue to compare prices after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve purchased something, as retailers may match competitor prices following the sale. â&#x20AC;˘ Buy gift cards for shopping as well as giving. Many merchants offer special holiday offers on gift cards such as bonus coupons/cards, fuel discounts and other incentives. Buy gift cards to earn these perks, then use the cards to buy gifts. â&#x20AC;˘ Understand return policies before you buy. Look for information about how long returns are accepted, if a receipt is required, whether opened items are accepted, if a restocking fee applies, and if a shipping fee applies to items bought online. â&#x20AC;˘ Park in well-lighted areas and avoid leaving valuables in your vehicle. Never leave your jacket, purse or wallet unattended. Shop safely - The hustle and bustle of

holiday shopping increases risk factors that can lead to a potentially life-changing fall. The STEADY U Ohio initiative has been helping older Ohioans prevent falls since 2013 and offers these tips for safe holiday shopping: â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;shop â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;til you drop.â&#x20AC;? Take frequent breaks and shop at off-peak times to avoid crowds and long waits. Bring someone with you who can wait in line for you while you sit and rest. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid walking around items blocking aisles or displays that block your view of other shoppers and obstacles. Report slipping hazards, such as spills, loose rugs or mats, and unsafe sidewalks or stairs to store staff immediately. â&#x20AC;˘ Ask store staff for help carrying heavy or bulky packages or bags to your vehicle. Avoid carrying large, low-hanging bags that can trip you. â&#x20AC;˘ If you use your cane or walker, always shop with it or take advantage of the mobility scooters many stores provide if

you could be on your feet for longer than you usually find comfortable. â&#x20AC;˘ Tell store staff if you see anybody behaving in an unsafe manner. â&#x20AC;˘ If you fall, even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not hurt, notify store staff so that they can document the incident.

Health Department. “The accreditation process helps to ensure that the programs and services we provide are as responsive as possible to the needs of our community. With accreditation, we are demonstrating increased accountability and credibility to the public, funders, elected officials and partner organizations with which we work.” The national accreditation program, jointly supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, sets standards against which the nation’s nearly 3,000 governmental public health departments can continuously improve the quality of their services and performance. To receive accreditation, a health department must undergo a rigorous, multi-faceted, peer- reviewed assessment process to ensure it meets or exceeds a set of quality standards and measures. Public health departments play a critical role in protecting and improving the health of people and communities. In cities, towns, and states across the nation, health departments provide a range of services aimed at promoting healthy behaviors; preventing diseases and injuries; ensuring access to safe food, water, clean air, and life-saving immunizations; and preparing for and responding to public health emergencies. “Public health professionals often perform their duties so well that their accomplishments are often invisible to the community. We hope that by achieving national accreditation our community will see the added value the health department brings to Sandusky County residents” Brown said. The Sandusky County Health Department provides many critical, basic public health services. Safe drinking water, food service inspections, immunizations for adults and children, flu shots, birth and death records, WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) nutritional supplement program, Reproductive Health and Wellness for men and women, health education and prevention, and many other programs.

Text-to-911 a critical service for deaf, hard-of-hearing communities By Shannon Seger Director, Deaf Services Center, NW Ohio The Federal Communications Commission has released a statement that texting during an emergency could be helpful if you are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech disability. Deaf Services Center had the opportunity to work with Lucas County 911 Emergency Services Center to prepare for the potential types of language barriers emergency services might encounter due to the unique acronyms and limited English proficiency within the deaf community. We applaud the Lucas County 911 Emergency Services Center for embracing the training opportunity to assure effective access and rapid deployment of text-to-911 capability. It is an exceptional milestone in Lucas County for all those with a hearing loss and/or a speech disability to have an additional avenue to be able to access emergency services as needed. As a deaf person, I encourage all the other Ohio 911 County EMS Centers to embrace the transition to digital technology to ensure that everyone can have immediate access to emergency services. About Deaf Services Center, Inc: Deaf Services Center, Inc., is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that empowers those faced with language barriers by promoting access to communication. The Center offers resources to help those who have hearing loss or are non-English users to fully access the English language in communicating with others. The Northwest Ohio office is located at 1002 Garden Lake Parkway, Toledo. Call 419-720-3935 or VP 419-386-2627 or visit nwo@dsc.org for details.

Smoke alarms using mom’s voice wakes kids better When residential fires happen at night while people are sleeping, deaths are more likely to occur. Smoke alarms are important for preventing these deaths, yet many young children don’t wake up to traditional high-pitch tone alarms. In a study published recently online in The Journal of Pediatrics, researchers in the Center for Injury Research and Policy and the Sleep Disorders Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital examined characteristics of four different smoke alarms to determine which ones worked best to wake children. They tested three alarms that used the mother’s voice in addition to a high-pitch tone smoke alarm commonly used in homes. The research included 176 children 5 to 12 years of age studied at a sleep research center in Columbus, Ohio. The researchers found that a sleeping child was about three times more likely to be awakened by one of the three voice alarms than by the tone alarm. The alarms using the mother’s

voice awakened 86-91 percent of children and prompted 84-86 percent to “escape” from the bedroom, compared with 53 percent awakened and 51 percent escaped for the tone alarm. The study also examined the effect of the different alarms on the amount of time it took the children to get out of (“escape” from) the bedroom. In a real fire, seconds can make a difference. If a child wakes up but takes too long to leave a burning building, serious injuries or death could occur. The median time to escape for the high-pitch tone alarm was 282 seconds – nearly five minutes – while the median times to escape for the voice alarms ranged from 18 to 28 seconds. Because the human brain responds differently to the sound of our own name, even during sleep, the researchers wanted to test whether including the child’s first name in the alarm message made a difference in alarm effectiveness. However, no significant differences were found between each pair of the voice alarms, regardless of whether the child’s name

was included in the message. “Children are remarkably resistant to awakening by sound when asleep,” said Mark Splaingard, MD, co-author of the study and director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. “Children sleep longer and deeper than adults and require louder sounds to awaken than adults. For these reasons, children are less likely to awaken and escape a nighttime home fire. The fact that we were able to find a smoke alarm sound that reduces the amount of time it takes for many children 5 to 12 years of age to wake up and leave the bedroom could save lives.” “These new findings put us one step closer to finding a smoke alarm that will be effective for children and practical for parents,” said Gary Smith, MD, DrPH, lead author of the study and director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. “This study confirmed that a maternal voice alarm is better than a traditional high-pitch tone alarm

for waking children and prompting their escape under conditions typical of homes. It also showed that the mother’s voice was enough to be effective without using the child’s first name. This means one alarm could work for multiple children sleeping near each other in a home.” The study focused on 5- to 12-year-olds because children younger than 5 years are regarded by the fire safety community as being too developmentally immature to reliably perform self-rescue in a home fire, and therefore must rely on adult rescue. Adolescents (older than 12 years) do not experience the same difficulty as younger children in awakening to a high-pitch tone smoke alarm. Future research will be conducted. The research team is committed to reducing fire-related injury and deaths among children old enough to perform self-rescue. The researchers urge all families to continue to use traditional smoke alarms as recommended while research continues.

Parents can take steps to take control of sibling rivalry If there is more than one child in a family it’s usually inevitable to have teasing, arguments and sometimes even fighting. While your children may love one another, disagreements and competition among them is only natural. The reason behind disagreements among your children is “sibling rivalry.” When a family has two or more children, the kids are naturally, even if unconsciously, going to be rivals for their parents’ love and attention. For a young child, it starts when there is the birth of a new brother or sister. The older child often sees himself or herself being replaced as number one in the parents’ eyes. This child tends to believe there is only so much love for a parent to give, and now there will be less love for him or her. It’s actually a rational fear growing out

The

Counseling Corner of the child’s observations. An infant, out of necessity, is going to require more time and attention. Simply telling the older child that Mom and Dad can love all their children equally usually has little effect, since young children aren’t capable of the abstract thinking necessary to understand this concept. The practical cure is to demonstrate your love for each of your children. Find time to spend with each child, doing something important or special to that child. As children get older, it isn’t jealousy over the amount of parental love but com-

petition for parents’ attention that can fuel sibling rivalry. Children will often compete, usually without realizing they’re competing, to be “first” in their parents’ eyes. Children will work for better grades in school, display stronger athletic skills, develop musical or artistic talents, or even get into trouble if it makes Mom or Dad pay attention. While sibling rivalry is a natural occurrence it shouldn’t reach a point where physical or emotional damage is done to any of the children, or to the point where it disrupts family functioning. If a parent sees one child “winning” all the time, they may want to tip the scales slightly giving the other child more time and attention. All children have different levels of ability and a little friendly competition can often be a good motivator. But if that competition gets too serious, it can significantly harm a child’s development of self-esteem.

death. Workplace violence has been a key issue the past several years. Employers are getting smarter about the way they are handling problems with employees, especially if that employee has a reputation as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hothead.â&#x20AC;? This change has led to a decrease in the number of workplace violence incidents. Workplace violence has been known to cause injury and death to employees and management personnel who did not even have anything to do with the situation with the employee who is creating the violence. Homicide is clearly both a public health issue and a crime prevention issue.

While homicide is a rare problem in the rural areas in this region, it does happen and can happen anywhere. More common is assault. There are a variety of crimes with which people can be arrested for assault, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. When injuries from an assault result in an elevated level of bodily harm, the charge is usually filed as a felony. Most people are also not aware that assault in itself does not require any injury. The mere threat to do bodily harm can be considered assault. There is sometimes an increase this time of year in cases of violence. Some people become depressed around the holidays, and this may stem from the loss of a loved one. A person may miss that loved one more during the holidays, which can create the depression. This depression may translate or develop into acts of violence.

While domestic violence is a serious issue any time of year, there can also be an increase in such incidents during the holidays. One of the most dangerous scenarios for law enforcement officers is domestic violence. Too many officers are killed and injured every year responding to domestic violence calls. It is the primary reason more than one officer usually responds to a call involving domestic violence. These are just a few examples of a direct correlation between health and crime prevention, but it should provide a better understanding of the issue. This article is a public service from the Crime Prevention Division of the Lake Township Police Department. Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Ron Craig, crime prevention specialist/community policing officer, at 419-481-6354.

While most people may think health and crime prevention are two totally unrelated topics, nothing could be further from the truth. One of the ways the two issues are directly related involves anxiety. There are those who may worry about becoming a victim of crime, such as someone breaking into their residence whether someone is at home or not. This anxiety can lead to high blood pressure, known in medical terms as hypertension, and other health issues. In these days of increased heroin and opioid use, addicts have become more brazen in their attempts to get cash with which to buy their next fix. As a result, there are more and more burglaries and break-ins occurring, and there has been a sharp increase in daytime burglaries and home invasions. For many, many years, the prevention of violence has been viewed as both a health and crime prevention issue. Violence, of course, usually leads to injuries or even

Four contend, but Cardinals, Eagles are co-champs By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com In four different leagues, the Eastern Maumee Bay Community saw four different prep volleyball teams contending for a championship. When all was said and done, only the two Oregon schools, Clay and Cardinal Stritch, came away with league titles and both had to share. The Eagles shared the Three Rivers Athletic Conference championship with Notre Dame and St. Ursula and the Cardinals shared the Toledo Area Athletic Conference title with Toledo Christian. It’s quite an accomplishment for firstyear Clay coach Carrie Wagoner, and her team did it with just three seniors — 5-foot8 right side middle hitter/setter Madison Hornyak, 5-4 defensive specialist Kelsey Garcia and 5-9 right side setter Madi Vriezelaar. The Eagles finished the regular season barely over .500 at 13-12, but were 6-1 in the TRAC. The Eagles were young, but so was St. Ursula. Wagoner is this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers Coach of the Year and she already has her focus set on next year. “I hate to see this season coming to an end, but I’m really looking forward to next season because we have the majority of the girls coming back and they are only going to grow over the winter by playing club, and the majority of these girls play club ball,” Wagoner said. All of her stat leaders are underclassmen. The Eagles were led in kills by junior Hannah Blausey (245), aces by sophomore Jaiden Karrick (33), blocks by junior Olivia Henneman-Dallape (67), digs by sophomore Kendall Seimit (265), and assists by Karrick (644). All received some kind of All-Press recognition. Wagoner said when she took over for longtime and highly successful coach Dave Conley, there was one issue — letting her players get used to her methods.

“They are just all-around good kids, they really are,” Wagoner said. “I’m very blessed to be in this program. I’ve had a lot of support from parents, and the girls think I’m kind of goofy at times and they don’t know how to take me because honestly, I smile and I like to have fun. I like to jump up and down on the sidelines and I think they feed from me. That’s who I am and that’s what I want this program to be about.” The Cardinals (12-9, 7-1 TAAC) clinched the conference co-championship on Oct. 11 by beating visiting Ottawa Hills on Senior Night. Stritch’s lone TAAC loss this season was to Toledo Christian, which won the title last year. Stritch coach Megan Peer was voted the TAAC Coach of the Year. “It was unexpected,” Peer told The Press. “I appreciated it. It was a coaches’

vote, so it was nice that the coaches felt I did well with my program this season.” Close, but no cigar The other teams in league contention were Oak Harbor and Lake. Lake had a strong overall record at 18-6 and fell just short in the Northern Buckeye Conference at 11-3. “I was very pleased with our season,” Lake coach Amy Vorst said. “We had a great bunch of girls that put in a lot of work to get the program back on track. Our goal of winning the league and going far in the tournament was derailed due to injury. Our girls rallied and fought really hard, but had difficulty overcoming (senior middle blocker) Taylor Momany’s injury.” Oak Harbor, 21-5 overall and 9-3 in the

Sandusky Bay Conference’s Bay Division, finished behind perennial state power Huron. However, the Rockets advanced to the Division II regional tournament with a 25-14, 19-25, 25-23, 25-23 district final win over Tiffin Columbian. The Rockets were led by 6-foot-1 senior middle hitter Peyton Bloomer, who is All-Press Player of the Year for the second straight time. Last year she shared the honor with former Eastwood and now Bowling Green State University player Katelyn Meyer. She finished her senior season with 522 kills, 38 aces, 250 digs, 78 blocks and a hitting percentage of .531. She leaves Oak Harbor with these school records — most aces, career (114); most kills, game (32); most kills, season (522); most kills, career (1,729); most digs, career (942); most blocks, game (10); most blocks, season (98); and most blocks, career (346). Most kills in a game and season and most blocks in a game she set this year, while most blocks in a season she set as a sophomore. Other career records she had already passed as a junior. “Peyton’s volleyball knowledge and skill level was a huge asset for our team,” Oak Harbor coach Jacki Gezo said. “She was one of our captains this year and offered guidance and great leadership on the court. “She was our go-to hitter and a true threat at the net. Peyton was very competitive and always played with passion and determination which elevated the play of her teammates. Peyton left her mark on Oak Harbor Volleyball and helped our program get to a higher level. She and our other four seniors will be missed.” Bloomer’s senior year she was first team All-Sandusky Bay Conference, first team All-District 6, first team All-Ohio and District 6 Player of the Year. She won these same honors, including first team All-Ohio, as a junior, plus was SBC Player of the Year. As a sophomore, Bloomer was first

3,601 teddy bears The Toledo Walleye hosted its annual Teddy Bear Toss event on Dec. 1. Fans set a new team record when they tossed 3,601 teddy bears and other stuffed animals onto the ice when the Walleye scored their first goal. The teddy bears and stuffed animals

are being donated to local organizations who assist children during times of crisis. Toledo (14-2-2) ended the month of November with a record of 8-1-1. The most wins for a Walleye team in November was in 2014 when they posted 10 wins (10-21). Shane Berschbach led Toledo in scoring with 17 points (5G, 12A) over ten November games while TJ Hensick finished with 14 points (3G, 11A). Pat Nagle went 5-1 with a 2.51 goals against average.

For Comets, the eyes are back on the big prize again By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa’s wrestling team still has its eye on the prize, according to coach Bob Bergman. Last March, the Comets won the school’s first state team title on the mat, scoring 113.5 points in the Division III meet to beat runner-up Ashtabula St. John by 30 points. Genoa returns six individuals who placed in the top three, including three-time state champion Dylan D’Emilio. “It’s business as usual,” Bergman said. “As far as expectations, people know what we want to do and what we’re capable of doing. It was a good offseason and we’re anxious to get things started.” Genoa opened this season on Tuesday with a 53-20 win over Elmwood and a 3734 win over host Eastwood. The Comets, who have seven seniors, return seven Northern Buckeye Conference champions and two conference runners-up from last year’s squad. “We have an incredible senior class that knows the ropes,” Bergman said. “They lead by example and they are teachers at heart. They embody what it means to be leaders, and we (coaches) are really fortunate. Our underclassmen are really fortunate, too.” Dylan D’Emilio, an Ohio State commit, was 52-0 last season and will move up one weight class to 138 pounds this season. He enters his senior year with a 156-3 career mark, with all three losses coming at the rugged Walsh Ironman tournament. “He’s super humble and incredibly hard working,” Bergman said. “We don’t take anyone for granted and he would tell you the same thing. He’s poised for a great season and we hope he continues to be a trailblazer.” Ohio University-bound senior Oscar Sanchez, who was 41-5 last season (126-9 career), won a state title two years ago and was the runner-up at 113 pounds last year. He will compete at 120 this season. “Oscar is super cerebral,” Bergman said. “He has a knack for finding opponents’ weaknesses and attacking them. He is a positive influence in the (practice) room and he doesn’t allow himself to have a bad day.” Senior 132-pounder Julian Sanchez, a three-time state placer, has a 128-15 career record and has committed to wrestle at West Point United States Military Academy. He was the state runner-up at 120 pounds last season, losing the championship match by one point. “Julian is lightning quick and has the work ethic to match his talent,” Bergman said. “We are really excited for him and we want to get him that state title.” Senior James Limongi, a Kent State commit, returns at 160 pounds after taking third in the state at that weight last year. Limongi won the state title at 160 as a sophomore. He suffered a foot injury two days before last year’s state tournament and boasts a 136-13 career record. “He was wrestling on one leg last year and had to reinvent himself,” Bergman said. “He got wins and was usually pretty dominant. He just tried to survive and advance. He’s had a foot operation and is almost cleared to wrestle. He’s a dominant force in the upper weights.” Senior Noah Koch returns at 285 pounds after going 51-8 and placing third

At Eastwood Tuesday, Genoa 220-pound wrestler Alex Duran flips Elmwood grappler Kaleb Loera. Duran won a 4-3 decision as the Comets prevailed, 53-20, and beat Eastwood 37-34. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) at state as a junior. Koch needs 16 wins to reach 100 for his career. “He started as a freshman and hasn’t looked back since his unbelievable season last year,” Bergman said. “He is a rare talent at that weight. His cardio is through the roof, and he’s intelligent. You can’t beat him twice. He just adapts and overcomes.” The Comets’ lineup begins with junior 106-pounder Randy Matheney, the younger brother of former Genoa state placer Devon Cannon, followed by junior 113-pounder Corey Welsh, who won 23 matches last season. “Randy has paid his dues the last couple years,” Bergman said. “He’s been undersized and this is the first time he’s actually weighed 110. We want him to be on that podium at NBC. Corey is a hard-nosed kid. He does the early-morning workouts and had a good offseason. We think he can knock on the door to the state tournament.” Sophomore Devin D’Emilio, who is Dylan’s younger brother, competed at 113 and 120 pounds last season and went 3213. He also placed second at the NBC tournament. “He’s a gamer,” Bergman said. “He shines when the lights are on. He was pretty pivotal last year in our (State) Dual series. He went 3-0 in Columbus and helped us beat Tuslaw in the finals. He can handle the big moments pretty well.” Junior 145-pounder Dustin Morgillo, who has 89 career wins, went 50-6 last

season and placed third at 138 at the state tourney. He will be followed in the lineup by juniors Kevin Contos (152) and Sam Beach (170). “Dustin has really filled out,” Bergman said. “He battled his way to third at the state tournament and he upended the projected state champ in the consolation round. He has a never-say-die motor that just keeps going. We think he can do some special things this year. “Kevin has more technique and skill and has a ton of untapped potential. Last year he had a shoulder injury and he is primed for a special year. He worked his tail off this offseason. Sam took a few years off and now he’s a monster. He has filled out well and he will add a lot of depth for us.” Junior 182-pounder Antonio Quezada went 17-8 last year and took fourth at sectionals. “He’s a dynamic guy,” Bergman said. “He went out for football and was first-team All-NBC on both sides of the ball.” The other two weight classes will be filled by seniors Brian Martin at 195 and Alex Duran at 220. “Brian is always smiling ear to ear,” Bergman said. “He’s won our Hustle Award every year. Brian just loves every day and he gets the most out of it. We think he’s Columbus bound if he stays on course like he has been. Duran is massive. He was a 170-pounder not too long ago and we think he’s going to turn a lot of heads this year.”

Inspirational Message of the Week: Hate is easy, love is hard Hate can be turned on like the flip of a switch. Someone cuts us off in traffic and we are cursing them as if they were the devil incarnate. An unkind word or a slight to our fragile ego can be remembered for years and be a source of resentment we just can’t get over. Political demagogues and bullies on both sides are experts at flipping the switch of hatred and resentment. Human beings get defensive very easily, even when the offense against us is merely imagined. Unfortunately, hatred and anger are the default mode for many of us. Love, on the other hand, takes work and must be nurtured. We have to

work at creating loving relationships, and though we all crave them, we are admittedly prickly. That is, we are prone to giving and taking offense. Work on banishing hate from your life and making your life an expression of love. – “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” —Colossians 3:12-14
