Oak Harbor

Energy program draws fire at mtg.

“

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press A “green” opportunity for the Village of Oak Harbor turned faces red at a recent meeting of village council. Newly-seated councilmember Sue Rahm was upset that an Efficiency Smart Schedule program turned down by council late last year was once again on the meeting agenda for approval. When she asked why it was again on the agenda, Mayor Bill Eberle said he had it placed there. The three-year-old program grew out of Oak Harbor’s relationship with AMPOhio and its investment in a southern Ohio coal-fired plant, according to council members. As a result of a settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency, AMPOhio retired a coal-fired plant in 2010 due to violations of the Clean Air Act. After the settlement, Oak Harbor joined the Efficiency Smart energy program for $140,000 in 2011. That contract recently expired and the company had returned with a new proposed contract around $100,000. In exchange, the company provides energy studies, offered tips to residents for energy savings and hands out rebate coupons for various things such as replacing old refrigerators and washing machines

That’s the only fund we haven’t bankrupted yet.

“

A letter of intent to sue the Ohio National Guard and an on-going petition effort were enough to convince federal officials to at least temporarily halt plans for constructing a wind turbine at Camp Perry near Oak Harbor. The American Bird Conservancy and Black Swamp Bird Observatory last week were praising the decision by the National Guard Bureau office in Maryland to withdraw a key finding to the project effective immediately. Last month, the organizations submitted a letter of intent to sue the National Guard, claiming the proposed turbine project violated the Endangered Species Act as well as other federal environmental and conservation laws. In response, the National Guard, in a letter dated Jan. 28 to a public interest law firm representing the bird groups, said it is withdrawing the Finding of No Significant Impact. “I have received your Notification of Intent letter, dated January 8, 2014. After carefully considering your objections to the August 22, 2013 Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), for the wind turbine technologies project at the Camp Perry Air National Guard Station, I have decided to withdraw the FONSI for the project effective immediately,” the letter from Col. Peter A. Sartori, Director, Installations and Mission Support, states. “Since the FONSI has been withdrawn, the project will not go forward at this time. “My environmental staff at the National Guard Bureau will review and coordinate the Environmental Assessment and all supporting documentation in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, as well as compliance with other environmental statutes, including the Endangered Species Act.” Kimberly Kaufman, the bird observatory’s executive director, credited supporters who signed a petition opposing the turbine’s proposed placement for having an effect on the Guard’s decision.

with more efficient models. Rahm said most of those savings ideas are already common knowledge. She insisted the mayor did not have the legal right to put the item on the agenda, citing Ohio Municipal League rules as she turned over a handful of papers to Village Solicitor Jim Barney. Barney, who handed back the paperwork without reviewing it, sided with the mayor, saying he did have the right to place items on the agenda. But, Rahm countered, “It’s such as waste. We already voted it down.” However, the mayor said more information was available since that vote, including access to an $8,200 grant. That amount is paltry in comparison to the thousands the contract demands, Rahm

insisted. “My thought is we really need to watch our pennies,” Rahm noted. “Especially in lieu of forthcoming major expenses coming to fix the massive sewer problem throughout the village. The benefits to me do not outweigh the costs to the village.” The mayor insisted the program is an opportunity to help village residents save money. He added that “we have to move on” from a single focus on the sewer system and deal with other village business accordingly. “Can we afford it?” Councilmember Jackie Macko asked. “In that fund,” Eberle said, referring to the electrical fund. “That’s the only fund we haven’t bankrupted yet,” Councilman Jon Fickert interjected. Fickert moved to vote on the issue as an emergency measure in hopes of getting it off the agenda for good. “We voted on it a month ago and we need to move on,” Fickert told his peers. His move spurred a verbal spat between him and Barney on the legalities of the councilman’s motion. “I’m sensing a resistance,” Fickert told Barney.

Continued from front page “We are absolutely elated that the Air National Guard has halted this project, at least temporarily and possibly for good,” she said. “We certainly owe thanks to the thousands who voiced their opposition to the project via the petition.” Kaufman said the petition will remain open for more signatures, The bird organizations noted that the Camp Perry turbine would sit in the middle of a major bird migration corridor and would be close to a national wildlife refuge. Michael Hutchins, national coordinator of the ABC’s bird smart wind energy campaign, said conservationists will continue to closely monitor wind energy developers in “this ecologically sensitive region.” “While we support wind energy as a sustainable energy source, we insist that turbines be sited where their impacts to birds and other wildlife can be minimized. This project was among the worst we have seen in that regard. We applaud the government’s decision to reconsider this project,” he said. While the organizations threatened to sue, they also left the door open to meeting with National Guard officials. “It is our preference to, however, to work in a collaborative fashion with Air National Guard and the (Fish & Wildlife) Service to rectify the violations described herein and to consider alternatives other than wind power to meet ANG’s renewable energy needs,” the letter from the law firm, Meyer Giltzenstein & Crystal, to the National Guard says. “It is important to emphasize that the bird conservancy and observatory position is that wind power can be an important tool in fighting climate change and can broadly result in benefits to birds and their habitats. As a result, we support the military’s commitment (and ANG’s in particular) to gradually increasing its share of energy usage from renewable sources. However, the available empirical data also demonstrate that wind energy projects, when poorly sited, can negatively impact birds – including eagles, migratory songbirds, and rare and endangered species – in significant ways through collisions with turbines and associated power lines, and through loss and degradation of essential habitat.”

Five Luckey churches join to help needy By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com For over 20 years, the Luckey Ecumenical Assistance Fund (LEAF) has worked to assist individuals and families in need within the Eastwood Local School District with necessary resources such as food, electricity, or heat. LEAF consists of five Luckey churches — Zion United Methodist, Faith United Methodist, Zion Lutheran, Salem Grace United Lutheran, and Emmanuel Free Will Baptist — that call themselves the “Luckey faith community.” “All of us pastors get together, and we created this account years ago, and we’re trying to get money to people in need to help them financially,” said Zion UM Pastor Earnest C. Sampson. Sampson, who has been with his church about three-and-a-half years, wants to promote the need for donations and volunteers, but he also wants those in need to be aware of what LEAF has to offer. “The group of pastors usually meets out here (at Zion UM) and they just decided to do something to help our community, with times being tough,” Pastor

Sampson said. “Most of it was from when a lot of people were laid off quite a few years ago and we decided to do that. The local churches give money to it on a monthly basis with people who also donate money to keep this program running.” Last year, at a cost of $869, LEAF assisted 36 families with Thanksgiving food baskets. At a cost of $499, LEAF assisted 28 families with Christmas food baskets and presents for their youth. And, LEAF provided $250 to a family in need of financial assistance for rent. “In fact, besides Christmas baskets, Thanksgiving baskets, assistance for rent, we also do a thing in town called Sharing Hands. What we do there is provide a meal once a month for all those in need who can come to the local Legion hall and then assistance pays to rent the hall so that people can come on in,” Pastor Sampson said. LEAF pays the $187.50 rent to the Luckey American Legion Post No. 240 on Park Drive for Sharing Hands to the community to host a free meal the last Monday of the month. Take-outs are available for those who cannot get to the Legion hall. During the last quarter of 2013, LEAF’s Luckey food pantry assisted 35 families. A press release says LEAF is doing

this “by empowering individuals, and churches in proclaiming Christ in word and deed, with the operation of a food bank for use by area residents or transients.” Sampson said, “We’ve got all kinds of volunteers helping out. We also work closely with the local school district. Once we find it out that someone is in need, we will do what we can do.” Sampson’s press release continues, “(If) the Holy Spirit is moving you to assist, either by volunteering or by a financial donation, to help LEAF to continue to assist our community, please contact one of the local churches in Luckey. Thank you, for all of your support, for God’s families in need. “The community donates money to it and that’s what keeps it going,” Sampson said. For assistance, to donate, or to volunteer, contact pastors at Zion United Methodist: 419-833-8432, Faith United Methodist: 419-833-4191, Zion Lutheran: 419-833-5511, Salem Grace United Lutheran: 419-691-3240, and Emmanuel Free Will Baptist: 419-571-7240.

Flood mitigation grant to be discussed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A committee meeting of Woodville Village Council is planned for Feb. 10 to discuss an application for a federal grant to purchase a S. Perry Street property as part of a hazard mitigation program. The environmental and community development committee will meet at 7:45 p.m., following council’s regular meeting. If the grant is received, the village will use the funds to purchase the property and demolish the residence, said Barb Runion, village fiscal officer. She said the current owner has been unable to sell the property due to seasonal flooding of the Portage River. The village would be required to have the property assessed and offer fair market value to the owner.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, through its Ohio office, is administering the Unified Hazard Mitigation Program that offers grant money to states and local governments for mitigation projects. Once the property is purchased, the village will have to comply with deed restrictions that limit how the property can be used, Runion said, adding it will likely be left as a vacant lot. “We’ll have to plant it with grass and then every three years provide proof that we haven’t developed it,” she said. A public notice of the grant proposal was placed in the Jan. 27 issue of The Press. Persons who want to offer comments on the grant proposal should send them to Nicholas Mueller, Regional Environmental Officer, FEMA Region V, 536 S. Clark Street, 6th Floor, Chicago, Ill. 60605. His email address is: Nicholas.Mueller@fema.dhs.gov.

To receive grant funding, the village must: • Ensure the property owner is voluntarily participating in the program. • Ensure the owner is aware of what the village considers the fair market value of the property. • Ensure the land will not be available for levees. • Remove existing structures within 90 days of settlement. A public hearing may be scheduled if there is sufficient opposition to the proposed acquisition, Runion said. Bill Rowles, the village zoning inspector, originally brought the idea for applying for a grant to the attention of village officials, she said. According to the website, FloodSmart. gov, the property is located in a high-risk area where there is at least a one in four chance of flooding during a 30-year mortgage.

Heaven gained another angel today. My Uncle, Dennis Fielding. He was a son, brother, dad, grandpa, husband, uncle, cousin, nephew, friend. Let me tell you all a few things about my uncle... He loved to sing. All the time. To the point of being annoying. He loved to laugh and did it often. He had the best/worst conversations about things you didn't want to hear your uncle saying and it was always hilariously funny. He gave the best hugs. He struggled, overcame, and offered advice to anyone that could use it. And he was right, most of the time. He was ridiculously precise... if you said 1 mile and it was 1.2 miles, he would correct you... and it was infuriating. He was a little cynical. He saw a lot of negative and pointed it out. It wasn't always a bad thing even if it seemed like it was at the time. He was very open and honest about his life to us. We had no secrets. He never judged. He recognized differences, even pointed out stupidity, but he never based his overall opinion on that. He was as stubborn as the day is long. And we often lovingly referred to him as a “grumpy old man”. Sometimes, angrily... depended on the situation. He found his soul mate and no matter what life threw at them, they made it. He wasn't perfect. He would tell you that. For a hour or two at a time. He was awesome. He is in very good company now with his mom, dad, nephew, grandbabies and many others that have gone before him. He will be missed more than any words I have to express. Gina Fielding

The Northwood Fire Department will be hosting the 140th Northwest Ohio Volunteer Fire Association (NOVFA) convention June 20-21. According to Fire Chief Joel Whitmore, the convention is expected to bring in 1,000 firefighters to the city for the two-day event. “We last hosted this event in 1978,” Whitmore said. “It is nice to bring something good into the community while we celebrate fire service in Ohio. A lot of old friends will be coming to town which should be a breath of fresh air here.” Many of the events are open to the public, Whitmore said, adding that up to 5,000 people in total are expected to attend. Activities will include a vendor area, association meetings, entertainment, local bands, games, a queen’s contest, and camping. A large parade will close the convention on Saturday. The NOVFA currently has 8,000 members from across northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, including Bedford, Luna Pier and Morin Point. The public will be invited to watch several events involving firefighters including a “waterball” competition. “We put a big, heavy ball on a table and two firefighting teams use hoses to squirt water at the ball to push the ball across a marker,” he explained. “It is kind of like Tug O’ War with fire hoses.” The Firefighter Challenge will showcase various firefighting skills including a hose drag, ladder climb, stair climb, and more. It is a physical challenge and a timed event, Whitmore said. There will be fire trucks - both modern and antique - as well as military type vehicles on display and in the parade. “We are looking for the support of the local community in making this event a success,” Whitmore said. “The money raised during the convention will be used to purchase equipment for the fire department.” The fire department is looking for cor-

porate sponsors for the event. Sponsorship levels are Gold Axe at $1,000 or more, which includes one full page ad in the Convention Yearbook, recognition in the yearbook as a major sponsor, recognition at convention headquarters and specific events as well as a free vendor’s booth at the convention. Silver Axe ($500 - $999) and Bronze Axe ($250 -$499) sponsors will get one full page ad and recognition as a major sponsor in the yearbook as well as recognition at convention headquarters and at specific events. The department is also selling ads for the NOVFA convention yearbook. For more information on placing an ad or becoming a sponsor, please contact Lieutenant Robert Bowman at (419) 392-4242 or by email at rbbsr@roadrunner.com.

Energy program Continued from front page ings before a final vote. They can, however, be subject to an emergency clause, which speeds up the vote and possible enactment. An emergency clause takes away the right to referendum, Barney noted. “The law says you need a legitimate reason (to invoke an emergency clause.) If you think it’s legitimate then have at it,” Barney said. Fickert made the motion. He along with Rahm, Macko and Jim Seamon voted for the emergency clause. Councilmen Don Douglas and Brad Weis voted against. An emergency clause vote requires approval of the three-fourths of the members to pass. The vote resulted in two-thirds of the council supporting the measure. As a result, the energy program proposal will have its second reading at the first council meeting in February. Telephone messages left for Eberle and Administrator Robert Pauley at the town hall days after the meeting for more information on the energy program were not returned.

Committee to oversee Oregon levy funds

City buys snowplow, GPS survey

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

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council last week approved the purchase of a utility vehicle with a front mounted snow blower, a GPS survey system, and a grinder for the Public Services Department. The GPS system was purchased from City Blueprint of Toledo, Inc., for $22,972. Public Service Director Paul Roman said the GPS survey equipment will be used for various designs and construction projects by city engineers. “With the purchase, our labor costs will be cut in half because we only need one person to perform the survey, wherein the past, we needed two,” said Roman. “Another good thing about this equipment, we can view the data in the field versus having to bring it into the office and download the data into a computer.” Council also approved the purchase of a snow plow for city owned sidewalks for $22,909 from Bobcat Company, West Fargo, North Dakota. Mayor Mike Seferian said the plow is needed to remove snow from specific areas. “We recognize the need for some of the services we have to provide, first and foremost, the Bay Shore Road bike path. We experienced great difficulty plowing that. There’s a need for using that,” said Seferian, adding that there is a bus stop nearby. “The schools had been assured by the city that that would be plowed. We had to have two people with hand snow blowers try to clear that out and a third person on a back hoe trying to clear out the bike path. A lot of man hours in the cold, taking breaks.” The plow will replace the current unit that was removed from service for safety concerns due to the frame rusting out. “There is an alternative attachment, a brush, and we can actually clean the bike paths, so this vehicle could suit many purposes,” said Seferian. Council also approved the purchase of a skid steer mounted bull hog grinder for $25,270 from Southeastern Equipment Company, Inc., Perrysburg. The grinder will be used for general ditch maintenance and debrushing. It will be primarily used in residential and commercial areas where the city’s existing debrushing unit is too large. “We have a much larger unit,” said Roman. “It can take out an eight inch tree. It really is intended for Wolf Creek and Otter Creek, the much bigger streams, where you have much more area to work. The smaller unit is more for the smaller ditches and streams that are right up against residential areas. You only have so much access in these smaller areas. We do feel there is the need for this.” The unit will be needed to debrush Joehlin Ditch through Eagles Landing Golf Course during the winter.

Oregon’s Parks & Recreation Committee met Jan. 21 to hear about the needs of seniors in the community, and which services might be funded by the $250,000 revenue expected this year from the senior levy passed last fall. City Administrator Mike Beazley said Mayor Mike Seferian, Councilman Terry Reeves, chairman of the committee, and council will be putting together a committee to make recommendations on which services may be funded by levy dollars “with appropriate oversight.” Justin Moor, from the Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Inc., (AOoA), provided the committee with the top 10 services seniors in northwest Ohio wanted when they were asked about their preferences in a survey taken in 2010. “The bulk of the top 10 list comes from a needs assessment we do every four years,” said Moor. “Six hundred people were surveyed at least 60 years old or over, across our 10 county service area.” One hundred seniors were surveyed in the “near suburbs” of Oregon, Maumee, the City of Sylvania and Sylvania Township. Topping the list was the need for assistance with health insurance and prescriptions, also called “benefits counseling,” he said. “There are trained volunteers or trained staff members who will sit oneon-one with seniors and help them with their questions, such as `Which Medicare drug plan will save me the most money,’ or `Am I eligible for some savings programs with my Medicare it could be a wide variety of different benefits they have questions about.” Second on the list: Home delivered meals. “A lot of people know it as Mobile Meals, one of the big service providers locally,” he said. Out of the survey, two percent of respondents said they do not eat three meals per day because they are unable to afford enough food. “It’s a small percentage, but that’s the type of response where you have to ask yourselves as a community, `What are acceptable percentages?’ There are some seniors out there who are struggling to feed themselves each day.” Third is help with bathing and dressing, he said. “These are usually needed by really fragile seniors, who in a lot of cases are 75 years old or older. They want to stay living in their own homes. Six percent of people surveyed said they personally need that kind of assistance to stay living at home. They need help getting in and out of the bathtub or help getting their clothes on because they’re in such a frail state. Again, not a huge percentage, again, but it’s a pretty intensive need,” he said. Fourth, transportation. “That is a huge need in every community in northwest Ohio. A lot of times it’s needed just to get back and forth from doctors’ appointments. It helps seniors stay healthy and active by getting regular checkups and catching things early on by keeping their regular doctor’s appointments. It’s a big part of transportation. Another part of transportation is getting to and from the senior center so they get socialization they need on a regular basis. It’s crucial to keeping seniors’ dignity and helping with their longevity.” Fifth, the need for minor home repairs, such as fixing a furnace or roof .

Sixth are chore services, such as snow removal, lawn care, cleaning gutters and other needs that the individual can no longer physically do on their own. Seventh, Tai Chi exercise for better balance. “These are evidence based disease prevention programs. It has been thoroughly reviewed by universities. Those who go through the program have significant benefits they realize as a result, such as reduced hospitalizations and increased self-reported health status. Basically, it prevents falls, improves balance, and reduces the chance of falling and breaking a hip,” said Moor. Eighth on the list: Diabetes self-management. “It allows seniors to make continuous improvements step by step in a way that’s much more manageable and easy for them to do and really helps them take ownership of their health,” he said. Ninth is chronic pain management. “This workshop teaches how to deal with pain,” he said. “There is a lot of support learning from others in this workshop.” Tenth is the “healthy you” program. “It’s more broad in nature. It can be anyone who wants to basically be healthier. Usually they have arthritis, COPD, some kind of chronic condition. And they set weekly action plans to help them meet their goals and learn from their peers.” YMCA programs Also at the meeting was Melanie

“

County Levy Council President Dennis Walendzak asked Moor if the AOoA, which receives funding from a county senior levy, would cut back funding to Oregon seniors because the city passed its own senior services levy. “As a taxpaying citizen in Oregon, how do we make sure we don’t lose monies that would generally be grant reimbursement from the AOoA? As we move forward, I don’t want to lose monies that would be coming to Oregon from the AOoA just because we have extra money,” said Walendzak. “No question it has to be done in a coordinated way,” said Moor. “The way that the AOoA contracts for services for Oregon residents, and the way the city of Oregon contracts for services for Oregon residents, has got to be done through continual dialogue, a coordinated effort so that we make sure the city of Oregon residents and taxpayers are getting the value they expect with both the taxes they are paying.” Paula Benton, director of Oregon’s James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center, said there should be programs that are currently not provided by the AOoA. “We need to step out and do other needs – we need to have a Chore program. I get calls all the time for snow removal, a car won’t start and needs the battery jumped, grass cut – but we’ve never had the means to buy the equipment needed, nor the storage space or funds it would take to staff that to do those type of things,” said Benton. “Right now, transportation is a great need,” she added. “We have one 14 passenger van that takes people to and from the senior center, which provides the fellowship, socialization and the noon lunch. Then we transport them home in the afternoons. That one van limits us to what we can do. So we definitely need to fund one or two more vehicles.” She also said there is a need for computers. “We have a lot of people who are really interested in tablets and laptops. Every day, someone needs help using their cell phones. So there’s a real need to teach that. We were dependent for the last year and a half on the Cybermobile, provided by the county, which is a wonderful program. Our first six week program went very well. For our second six week program, they were either broken down or they couldn’t get online,” she said. “When we get those funds through our levy, it doesn’t mean that all of the money will be disbursed through the senior center,” said Seferian. “We could distribute money to the YMCA to execute programs, or to the hospitals to execute programs, or to anyone. Wherever the service would exist and be helpful to our community is a possibility.” The city decided to put together the committee to determine how the levy funds will be spent after it was learned last November that officials from the James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center had rejected the possibility of getting $250,000 from the AOoA to expand operations and had opted instead to get the center’s own levy on the ballot. Some voters also felt they were misled by an Oregon senior levy campaign that inaccurately stated the senior center’s budget had been cut by the city and the AOoA last year when in fact it had not been.

We could distribute money to the YMCA to execute programs, or to the hospitals to execute programs, or to anyone.

“

Grohowski, executive director of the eastern community YMCA. She provided information on programs used by Oregon seniors. “We are serving a lot of older adults,” said Grohowski. The eastern branch serves 1,675 individual seniors, out of which 650 are from Oregon. “Many seniors are coming in and working out in our wellness centers. We offer 27 group exercise classes every week geared toward older adults. That’s anywhere from water exercise, arthritis classes in the water, and land exercise classes. We also offer Tai Chai exercise classes, and terra yoga,” she said. “We also have some seniors that are doing personal training with us, so they are in our 100 mile swim club doing our triathlon program. We have very physically active seniors,” she said. There is also a women’s Bible study group, and the YMCA conducts a senior wellness fair every year. “We’re also doing a diabetes education program, monthly social and educational activities. We have talent shows, recipe exchanges, self defense, and movie nights,” she said. “We’re always looking to partner. Some of those other ideas, like chronic pain management, would be something we would love to do,” she said.

State bond issue heading to May ballot By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

“

Safe and well maintained infrastructure can help...

“

Next stop the ballot. A joint resolution to place an issue on the May ballot to continue funding for the State Capital Improvement Program has received bipartisan support in both chambers of the legislature. The program is administered by the Public Works Commission and provides financing for local government infrastructure improvements, including roads, bridges, sewer systems, water treatment plants and other projects. Voters first approved the ballot initiative in 1987 and it has since been twice reauthorized. State Representative Tim Brown (RBowling Green) co-introduced a resolution in the House calling for a ballot issue to reauthorize the issuance of general obligation debt of $1.875 billion for 10 years. “Recognizing that local governments, like our state government, have faced difficult times in the past few years, this resolution seeks to increase annual funding from $150 million to $175 million in the first five years of this renewal and $200 million in the last five years,” Brown said. “Safe and

well maintained infrastructure can help drive economic activity for our state.” State Senator Randy Gardner (RBowling Green) also backed a resolution in that chamber, that was approved by a 31-0 vote. “This gives the voters of Ohio the opportunity to speak on this program, to decide what’s best for their communities,” Gardner said. He said the program maintains the state’s “conservative bond debt tradition” so that local governments are assisted without tax increases. An analysis by the Legislative Service Commission estimates if the state issued $175 million in bonds annually in fiscal years 2017-2021 and $200 million each in

Tank’s issues sausage recall

fiscal years 2022-26 with a maturity of 30 years and a 4.5 percent interest rate, the total cost of debt service would be about $3.5 billion. Spread over 30 years, the annual payments would range from $10.7 million to $115.1 million, depending on market interest rates. A limit of 5 percent on the amount of general revenue fund-backed debt the state may incur in a fiscal year was written into the state constitution in 2000. The debt limit may be waived by voters or a threefifths majority vote of each chamber of the legislature, according to the analysis. In a Jan. 8 memo to the Senate Finance Committee, Suzanne Dulaney, executive director of the County Commissioners Association of Ohio, said the public works commission has played an important role in infrastructure development and improvement projects. Citing figures from 2006-11, she writes that about $1.02 billion were distributed in grants, loans and credit to counties, municipalities, townships and sewer districts: • Roads - $485,882,711 • Bridges/culverts - $72,806,295 • Water supply - $154,997,852 • Wastewater collection - $291,997,852 • Solid waste - $2,085,665 • Storm water - $65,023,337

The owner of Tank’s Meats in Elmore said he wanted to be pro-active in issuing a voluntary recall of a dried sausage product that may be contaminated with bacillus cereus. Kurt Amstutz said landjaegers produced on or before Jan. 9 and sold to retail outlets are being recalled as a precautionary measure. “We wanted to get all the product off the shelves that we could or out of the places we could immediately and then address the issue,” he said. “In hindsight it seems like a lot for one confirmed case but better to be safe than sorry.” The label on each bag is marked with “Est. 76” in the Ohio Department of Agriculture inspection symbol. The agriculture department collected samples after being notified by the Ottawa County Health Department of five persons becoming ill on Dec. 1, 2, 3 and 19 possibly from the landjaegers. Only one tested positive for bacillus cereus. The department described the recall as “precautionary” and there hasn’t been a conclusive link between the illnesses and the Tank’s product. Amstutz said the recall will cover product made up to two years ago. “We sold some to seasonal stores out near the lake and some of those places shut down over the winter,” he said. “Those people buy stuff in the fall and put it in their freezers. If they end up carrying the product from fall to May, that’s seven or eight months. If a consumer were to buy the product, how long has some of it been out there?” Bacillus cereus can cause diarrhea and abdominal cramps within 6-15 hours of eating the contaminated product. Most recover within 24 hours.

Student collects 100 pairs of shoes for the poor Destiny was inspired to collect as many shoes as possible for her eighth birthday after seeing a news broadcast where another young lady collected shoes for a similar reason. She saw the joy that was brought to so many people, and decided to do the same thing. “I saw on TV there was a girl who didn’t want any presents for her birthday, she asked her friends to bring two pairs of shoes to her birthday,” said Destiny. “I wanted to do that too and (my parents) said I could.” While it may be surprising to hear an 8-year-old say she doesn’t want presents for herself on her birthday, the praise she received isn’t so surprising. Throughout the duration of collecting shoes, Destiny had several people tell her how noble her act was – especially from family members. “My grandma said I was an angel and Ms. Modrowski said it was really nice of me (to donate shoes),” Destiny said. “That made me feel great.”

When most second graders are asked what they want for their birthday, it’s not uncommon for them to produce a seeming endless list of the latest toys and gadgets the market has to offer. But when Destiny Martinez – a second grader at St. Kateri Catholic Academy – was asked what she wanted for her birthday, she requested just one thing. And that one thing wasn’t even for her. For her eighth birthday, Destiny asked all her friends and relatives to give her a pair of new or slightly used shoes that could be donated to Soles4Souls – a nonprofit organization that distributes shoes to the poor. It didn’t take long before piles of shoes began to accumulate in the classroom and at Destiny’s home. By the time she was done collecting shoes at the end of October, Destiny had collected more than 100 pairs of shoes. In an email to the school from Destiny’s mother, Christina, Destiny had described the entire experience as her “bestest birthday ever.”

Fire guts building

Eastwood main office works to restore data By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Replacing lost data and restoring computer network systems are the primary tasks facing the Eastwood School District administration in the wake of a Jan. 25 fire that gutted the building shared by a bus garage and the central office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are gradually restoring network capabilities,â&#x20AC;? Brent Welker, superintendent, said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new server needed a lot of work and our Wi-Fi system will be up by early next week. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not back up to 100 percent but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting closer every hour. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having to re-create a lot of data.â&#x20AC;? The central office staff has been working in a trailer paid for by the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance coverage. Phone service was restored by mid-week. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food service software, including free and reduced lunch applications and account balances, is housed off-site and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impacted by the fire. There were no buses in the garage at the time of the blaze but Welker said two other service vehicles equipped with plows and a forklift were parked in the building. As of Thursday, a cause hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been determined. Welker said an insurance adjuster was at the scene Thursday to gather additional data and prepare a damage estimate. A full class schedule resumed Thursday after two days of weather-related closings. Firefighters from Troy Township and several other area departments battled the blaze â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their efforts hampered by freezing temperatures and winds that frequently shifted. Welker said the fire was reported about 7:30 a.m. and appears to have spread from the garage to the office. Welker used his community newsletter to keep district residents apprised of the central office situation. He also kept his eye on the state legislature, which is considering measures that would provide local districts with additional calamity days that can be applied to days lost in January. The Eastwood school board Monday voted to approve an additional on-line calamity day make-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be very different from the other days because we will be able to pick the day we do the assignments, and they will be more directly related to the content being implemented in the classroom,â&#x20AC;? Welker said in his community email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids will not necessarily have to go on-line. Rather the lessons will be given to them and students will then have up to 10 days to get the work submitted. The school board also authorized the scheduling of classes on Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day if needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time, we will plan to attend school on Feb. 17 but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep an eye on the General Assembly to see what kind of relief they may provide. This also assumes that we have no other calamity days between now and mid-February,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

2014

The Press Poll

Who do you think will win the Super Bowl?

If you were able, would you feel safe traveling to Sochi, Russia for the Olympics? Yes No

George Shipper Toledo "Broncos. I've been a fan since the Orange Crush days and I think they have the best chance to win the Super Bowl this year with all of the weapons they have both on offense and defense.

Jean Studer Walbridge "Denver, I like the colors of their jerseys and my brother is a big fan."

Deadly cold temps To the editor: During the “polar vortex” that sent temperatures tumbling throughout the country earlier this month, countless animals suffered and died because they were left outdoors. A pit bull that was chained to a tree in Texas froze to death, and in New York, a stray cat appeared to have frozen midstride. When frigid temperatures are forecasted, it’s crucial to keep our animal companions indoors where they will be warm and safe, and to look out for neighbors’ animals, and strays too. Left outdoors, animals can suffer from frostbite, hypothermia and dehydration when water sources freeze. At minimum, animals that are forced to live outdoors need increased food rations and proper shelter—a wooden doghouse elevated off the ground, stuffed with straw and covered with a flap. If stray or feral animals visit your property, do everything you can to get them safe indoors (shelters will often loan out humane box traps). Animals are no better equipped to survive bone-chilling temperatures than we are. If you see an animal deprived of adequate shelter, food, water or other necessities, please notify authorities immediately. For more tips on protecting animals in cold weather, visit www.PETA.org. Lindsay Pollard-Post The PETA Foundation Norfolk, Va.

Letters

Jim Asbury Toledo "Denver, that's a no brainer."

less Republican Congress voted down everything he brought to the table. Yet Congressman Bob Latta, in his response, accused the President of the same “rhetoric and empty promises that we have grown accustomed to.” I have to laugh at Rep. Latta and the clowns who closed down our government and tried to hold the Affordable Care Act hostage. Perhaps Rep. Latta needs to stop with the lies about the health care because over 8 million people now have health care. These people never had health care during the Bush administration. I have yet to hear on Rep. Latta’s phone meetings any positive comments pertaining to our President...like how he took us out of a recession. What have you done for us, Rep. Latta? You voted down women’s rights. You voted down extending unemployment insurance that just expired for 1.6 million people. You and your Republican Congress voted down raising the minimum wage. How about building roads and bridges so new business come in and put our people to work? You voted that down. Our President has challenged Congress to work with him on policy initiatives on jobs, wages, education and energy. So where is it that he failed? Rep. Latta and congress have failed us. He is so busy trying to make our President look bad. Rep. Latta, you and your group need to go. It is your turn to stand in line for unemployment. Oh wait – you just got rid of it. Sorry, no more money from us. You don’t earn the money we have paid you.

Beware seniors. Sen. Rob Portman and Rep. Latta and Congress are coming after our Social Security and our Medicare. Joann Schiavone Walbridge

Helping the animals To the editor: Being the Ottawa County Humane Officer and on the staff of the county Humane Society shelter is a 24/7 job. Recently, on the way home, we received a call from Elmore Police. They had gotten a call about a cat in a tree at 851 Ohio in Elmore. Apparently the cat had been there for two days and could not get down. So a staff member and I went to Elmore. With the help of the police, a call was put into Harris-Elmore Fire Department to request a long ladder. A firefighter who lived close by arrived, bringing a ladder from his home. The cat was rescued and brought to the HSOC, where it is doing well. We extend a big thank you to the Elmore Police and the Harris-Elmore Fire Department. This is just an example of one of many calls we receive every day to help the animals. At this time, we are still overcrowded with kittens and cats – we should only have about 70 felines and we are at 140. The public can help by donating supplies, food and litter and monetary donations. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Denny Hammond Ottawa County Humane Society

53% I'm not worried about it. 45% I already got one. 2% I will now.

Help, donations needed To the editor: The Elmore Unit of the Salvation Army wishes to thank the Elmore Kiwanis, the Key Club of Woodmore High School and individual volunteers for faithfully standing by our kettles during the cold months of December. A grand total of $7,562.20 was collected from Elmore and Woodville and these funds were spent in these communities, and to help school children in need. Last year, we assisted people with heating, food, rent, prescriptions, lodging and other emergency needs. Assistance was given to transients in need of fuel, lodging, etc. This past year, we disbursed $693.89 back to our local communities. We are given a budget of $4,000 and at year-end, the unused balance is given back to the Salvation Army at the Toledo office to serve the area’s needy. A special thanks to all who bought gifts for the Angel Trees in Woodville and Elmore and to Sharon Arndt and her elves who wrapped and distributed gifts. Finally, big thanks to all who donated to the kettles. Those in need of assistance may contact us. We are here to help. Nancy Weidner, Treasurer The Salvation Army, Elmore Unit

Is it time to quit asking yourself ‘what if’? Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

Does ridicule bother you?

“

Are you concerned about what other people think about you and how you lead your life? Are your decisions influenced by the way you anticipate other people will see them? Are you worried about criticism? Does ridicule bother you? Why are you concerned about someone else’s thoughts or opinions anyway? We grow up being taught to worry about what other people think. How many times did you hear, “What will the neighbors think?”, “What will your friends think?”, “What will the relatives think?”, or “What will people think?” in response to something you did or wanted to do? When you adjust your behavior to conform to what others think, you stifle your goals and restrict your happiness. Continually striving to meet someone else’s goals in place of your own, causes you endless frustration. Too many people structure their entire lives in response to their concern for the opinions of others. Where they live, who they marry, their occupation, and who they associate with, are just some of their decisions determined by what other people think. Why do we fall into this trap and what can we do about it? It starts with our craving for acceptance. As children we seek approval from our parents. Over time this need spreads to friends, relatives, and even strangers. Additionally, the hunger for acceptance is combined with seeking to avoid criticism, ridicule, and rejection. These are powerful emotions because they are based on the fear of “what if.”

What if people make fun of me? What if I’m not included? What if people don’t invite me? What if people don’t approve of what I’m doing? The list is endless but the result is the same: conforming to what other people might think ultimately makes you unhappy. The irony is that even when you do what you think other people want, they either don’t care or aren’t satisfied anyway. So, after adjusting your life, nothing has changed except the fact that you are continually unhappy. So in the end, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Today is the day to break free in order to start living on your terms. You be-

gin from where you are right now. There’s no point to lamenting any past decisions. Your objective is to avoid repeating past mistakes while moving forward. It doesn’t matter if you are criticized for taking control of your life. After all, attempting to avoid criticism didn’t work out too well. There is no obligation to explain why you are changing direction. You don’t have to convince anyone that this is the right course for you. Where you want to go from here is based on an honest assessment of yourself. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What do you like? What do you dislike? What are your goals? If you don’t know the answers to these questions, it’s essential that you take time to figure them out. Next, you need to formulate a step by step plan to get where you want to be. Each step must be small enough to be manageable. If one step seems too big, break it down into smaller sub-steps. Now it’s time for action. The formula for success is taking one step at a time. Don’t worry about what other people think. The direction of your life and your happiness is your responsibility. Setbacks are a normal part of goal attainment. Yet, this is the point at which you will be inundated with negative advice, criticism, and even ridicule. Ignore all of it. When you stumble, get up, dust yourself off, and resume your journey forward. You will be very pleasantly surprised by how much more joy you experience by not worrying about what others think.

January, 2004 News: Ohio Highway Patrol investigators thought they were looking for teens pranking motorists by pulling large rocks out onto the roadways in Wood and Ottawa counties. The large rocks, one of which weighed 98 pounds, caused 14 accidents over a three-month period. Arrested were two juveniles in attitude only: a Northwood man, 34, and a Toledo man, 43. They were charged with placing injurious materials upon a highway, and criminal damage and endangering, both first degree misdemeanors. Project Child Safe issued 500 gun locks to local police departments to pass on free to gun owners. The departments included Northwood, Walbridge and Pemberville. President George W. Bush appeared at Owens Community College to push his education agenda which called for more federal funds for community colleges. Sports: Mike Lucas hit two free throws with five seconds left securing Waite’s win over Clay in the championship game of the River East Classic. It was Waite’s 11th title in the 17 years of the holiday classic. Following a 22-1 season, the Oak Harbor girls basketball team stood at 120, well on their way to a second consecutive undefeated regular season. Coach Dick Heller’s squad was led by Megan Bodnar (5.5 assists per game) and Jen Moor (17

by John Szozda points per game). Price check: Johnny’s on the Spot sold a carton of Kool cigarettes for $26.12. Hot then, gone now: Rick’s Coffee House & Music Café, Northwood.

January, 1994 News: Concerned Citizens in Opposition to an Adult Book Store planned an informational meeting at Trinity Grace Brethren Church in Northwood. The group opposed a proposed adult book store seeking to locate on Woodville Road near Owen Road. The Elmore Area Citizens Association spoke out against a proposal to build a turnpike interchange at S.R. 51, stating the road wouldn’t be able to handle the additional traffic. However, Dave Crozier, an Elmore businessman, contended that in 10 years the village would see a “positive difference.” Sports: John Rivera, 19, a Clay grad, finished 8th in bull riding in the Mid-State Association Professional Rodeo Circuit. Rivera competed in six states including West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio. Coach Jim Gramza’s Clay hockey team

was on a 13-game win streak and finished first in the City Metro High School Hockey League. The line of D.R. Myers, John Berryman and Bob McClain scored 72 of the team’s 140 goals. Price check: Jack’s Royal Meats sold extra lean ground beef for $1.69 lb. Hot then, gone now: Olney Market, Oregon.

January, 1984 News: A study by Judge James W. Bachman of the Bowling Green Municipal Court showed a 24 percent increase in drunk driving arrests and convictions following implementation of the state’s tougher drunk driving law which made it illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content of .10. The Village of Elmore held the first reading of an ordinance terminating its cable vision contract with Matrix Vision of Toledo. The ordinance cited breach of contract for not supplying service in the time the company promised. The contract went into effect May 11, 1981 but, two-and-ahalf years later no cable. Sports: Lorna Richey, who the previous summer set a record for endurance running when she ran 401 miles and 919 yards in the New York Six Day Run, was named head track coach at her alma mater, Clay. She became the first woman to hold the position. Price check: Value City Furniture sold an 8,700 BTU Kero-Sun Heater for $68, a savings of $51.95.

January, 1974 News: State Rep. Fred Deering answered critics who wanted Ohio to be exempt from daylight savings time. Deering said only states, like Indiana, with two time zones could exempt themselves. The time move was expected to save the nation two percent of its energy usage and 150,000 barrels of oil a day. An article in the Suburban Press asked, “Can women do men’s jobs?” The reporter wrote, “What are the prospects for women who set their sights on becoming engineers, firefighters or scientists, or decide to become doctors instead of nurses, or accountants instead of secretaries?” A study conducted at the Johnston O’Connor Research Foundation’s Human Engineering Laboratory concluded, “There is no field which can, with absolute assurance, claim to be the exclusive domain of either sex.” Sports: Jeff Shaneck broke the singlegame scoring record for the Genoa Comets when he racked up 42 points in a 94-71 victory over Gibsonburg. Genoa was ranked 9th in the state in the AA basketball poll. Price check: Genoa Bank offered a fouryear, $1,000 CD at 7 percent interest rate. Hot then, gone now: National Fabrics, Great Eastern.

safety, public health and the environment. It would have disastrous implications for U.S. consumers. Think corporate lobbying power goes mostly unchecked now? Under the TPP, things would look far bleaker. If a town council voted to ban fracking, the TPP would enable a multinational oil company to sue the local governing body and overturn the ban. If American consumers demanded that food products containing genetically engineered ingredients be labeled, the TPP would grant a food corporation authority to interfere if the company’s profits were limited as a result. And all of us who have been demanding more sustainable and locally sourced

Do you care about having access to local and sustainably produced food or protecting your drinking water? Are you concerned about corporate influence distorting our elections? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you should be worried about legislation Senator Max Baucus and Rep. Dave Camp recently introduced that would grant the Obama administration fast-track authority. Those measures would allow the White House to quickly push the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and another trade deal with Europe through Congress with a simple up or down vote. Fast-track authority would give the Obama administration the unchecked power to promote future trade deals. Those pacts would allow corporations to challenge any democratically enacted federal, state or local laws and regulations that would limit their narrow financial interests. The TPP and the U.S.-EU Free Trade Agreement are really corporate power grabs disguised as trade agreements containing provisions that would undermine basic consumer rights, including issues related to our food, water and local sovereignty. The TPP threatens the very essence of our democratic process by promoting the privatization of public resources and corporate self-regulation. It would give companies the ability to overrule local governing bodies on decisions about fracking, food

decisions could be challenged in international pro-corporate trade tribunals, allowing financial interests to dictate how we manage public resources or dismantle the system of federal protections we currently have in place to regulate food and water. Despite the far-reaching implications of these negotiations, the TPP has mostly been negotiated in secret. Over 600 official corporate “trade advisors” are privy to the specifics in the agreements, even though members of Congress, governors, state legislators, the media, and the public haven’t had access to the text. Well, no access other than excerpts of working drafts on intellectual property and diluted environmental protections that WikiLeaks has released. It’s deplorable that Congress would consider giving up its oversight role and allowing the White House to push for an accelerated timetable for something as critical and far-reaching as the TPP.

T-Town offers fresh dine-in pizza, grinders By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Some pizza shops are moving away from having a dining area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either due to space or cost constraints. Northwood residents Terry Daly and Pam Lodzinski want customers to come in, sit down and enjoy at their Oregon restaurant, T-Town Grinders & Pizza. The eatery, located at 3220 Navarre Ave. in Oregon (the former Pizza Hut), has an extensive dining area and is becoming more and more popular with local residents. Both Lodzinski and Daly have extensive experience working in the industry, Lodzinski working at Pizza Hut for 20 years and Daly a veteran of nearly 25 years in the pizza industry, having worked every kind of job from the ground up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terry and I had spoken about opening a pizzeria and then all this came about with Pizza Hut moving,â&#x20AC;? Lodzinski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had talked for a few years (about doing this) and finally said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just open the restaurant. Why not do it in this building?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I already had a lot of customers from having worked at Pizza Hut.â&#x20AC;? The restaurant opened Dec. 12, 2012 (12/12/12). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first few months, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d done all the advertising, but I was concerned,â&#x20AC;? Daly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slowly, we got busier. It was proba-

Treats bly eight months before we got going. Then we started our buffet (and) things finally took off. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only pizza sit-down place with a buffet on the strip on Navarre Avenue.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably half the people who come in here we know by name,â&#x20AC;? Daly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want a family atmosphere here. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a momand-pop shop. We make sure to say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thank youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re welcome,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I make sure my employees talk to the customers and acknowledge them when they come in. I have a great crew here.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here today,â&#x20AC;? Daly said. Lodzinski also acknowledged Richard Grewe, the owner of the building, with helping the couple to get the business up and running in its initial stages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We give thanks,â&#x20AC;? Lodzinski said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to the Oregon community for their tremendous support.â&#x20AC;? Freshness counts When looking to create their menu, the couple focused on freshness, they said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken everything I know as far as my

knowledge of this business and put it into the store,â&#x20AC;? Daly said. The bread is made from scratch and baked daily, something Daly takes pride in. The sauce has a rich, unique taste that sets it apart. Also of note â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the eatery has gone without any health-code violations, something viewers may have heard about on a recent â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restaurant Report Cardâ&#x20AC;? segment on Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13abc. In addition to a range of pizzas, the store, which employs seven people, offers a variety of other food, such as calzones, chicken tenders, pasta, subs and salads. There are eight different kinds of specialty pizzas, ranging from vegetarian to Hawaiian to the Salty Dog to the T-Town taco. On top of that, there are 20 toppings to choose from including steak and ground beef. Prices for standard pizzas are $3.50 for a small (8 inches), $5.50 for a medium (12 inches), $6.50 for a large (14 inches) and $8.50 for an extra large (16 inches). Prices vary for specialty pizzas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a blue-collar guy,â&#x20AC;? Daly said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I want blue-collar families to be able to eat here.â&#x20AC;? The store is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday. The storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pizza/pasta buffet is open 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Friday and 12:30 to 3 p.m. Sunday. All major credit cards, including

Comets turning things around under Diebler By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com After struggling to a 3-19 record last season and beginning this season 2-5, it would’ve been easy for the Genoa Comets to roll over and lose hope. That all changed when Genoa defeated Woodmore, 93-89, in overtime on Dec. 27 to help spark a 5-2 run that has the Comets sitting at 7-7 overall and 5-3 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. The victory over the Wildcats saw 6-2 junior center Luke Rightnowar score a careerhigh 43 points, including eight of his team’s 16 in overtime. Genoa rallied from eight points down with under a minute to play to send the game into overtime on a shot by Rightnowar. He also had the go-ahead basket on a three-point play with 15.6 seconds to play in overtime to break an 89-89 tie. And Amos Kauder and Jimmy Henninger scored 11 points apiece to help pace the attack. Rightnowar, who leads the NBC in scoring (21.6 ppg) and is third in rebounding (6.8 rpg), says things are operating much more smoothly for he and his teammates in Year Two under head coach Keith Diebler’s style of play. Genoa is averaging 70.7 points per game, including 79.6 in its seven wins. “It’s helped a ton (having a year of experience),” he said. “We know what the expectations are from coach. I think everybody is a lot more comfortable this year.” Diebler had high praise for his star player. “The thing with Luke is that he truly can play every position,” Diebler said. “In our scheme of things, the more we can move him around, the better we are. He can play guard, wing and the post. Basically, that’s the way we treated Jon (Diebler) when he played for me. He played all five positions. We need it to where the kids understand the system and play multiple positions.” Gose, a 5-10 shooting guard, talked about how the team is able to open things up more now because of their familiarity with Diebler’s up-tempo offense. “It has helped a lot because we are more comfortable with (the system),” Gose said, “and we can run more things now that we understand everything.” Diebler spoke about his style of play, one that is predicated on playing at a fast pace and using a full-court press to create turnovers and slow the other team down. “Our basic philosophy is to put pressure on both ends of the court and get it to where we can make teams go up and down the floor,” he said. “We try to make teams uncomfortable on the defensive end (and) try to get them to hurry and do things that they’re not used to doing.” Diebler also credits his kids with gain-

BOYS BASKETBALL Team (League) Overall

Genoa junior wing Luke Rightnowar, who leads the Northern Buckeye Conference in scoring, adds two more while defended by senior Dustin Sigurdson in the Comets’ 82-20 victory over visiting Northwood. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton) ing a better understanding of the system. “We just weren’t physically strong enough to do (those things) last year. We played a very young team last year. We’re a little stronger (and)…as we get better shooting the ball, things will fall into place. I think the big thing is developing a bench and we’ve got 9-10 players that can play and we feel very confident in every one of our players. I think we’re really starting to believe in what we’re doing.” Forward Noah Goodrich, who stands 6-5, has provided scoring and rebounding off the bench, averaging 12.0 points, ninth

in the league, and 6.5 rebounds, good for fourth in the NBC. Gose is third on the team in scoring with 11.6 points. Following its first win over Woodmore, Genoa lost a heartbreaker to Bellevue (7068) and then proceeded to win four out of five to get to 7-7. That streak included wins over Elmwood, Northwood, Otsego and Woodmore again, the latter two coming in dramatic fashion. Rightnowar and Gose are joined in the starting lineup by the 5-9 Henninger, point guard; Kauder, a 6-1 small forward; and the 6-4 Grant Adams at power forward. And

Goodrich leads a capable group of reserves that includes 5-9 guard/forward Jared Brossia, 5-10 guard Jordan Brennan and 6-3 center Cody Johnson. Diebler is best known to those in the area for winning a Division II State Title in ‘05 at Upper Sandusky with his son, Jon, who went on to have a fine career at Ohio State. (Jon nearly led the Rams to another state title in ’07 before they lost in the championship game to powerhouse Dayton Dunbar, 87-85.) Diebler’s two other sons, Jake and Jeremiah, played college basketball, too. Diebler knows that his kids are coming closer and closer to turning the corner. “We want to be playing our best basketball here in the next three weeks. I think we believe right now that we can compete for four quarters — that’s the key. Now, we go into ballgames and we have more a swagger and we believe we can win. If we continue to do that, I think we can be a team that somebody doesn’t want to play (in the tournament) and that’s our goal.”

Northwood frosh, sophomores give everything they’ve got By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Everyone likes an underdog. Northwood boys’ basketball is always the underdog — every single game. Not a single Northwood player is among the Toledo Area Athletic Conference leaders in scoring, rebounding, and likely not in any other categories, either. Heading into last Friday’s contest against visiting Maumee Valley Country Day, the Rangers were 0-10 overall, 0-6 in the TAAC. They are losing by an average of 44.4 points per contest. They scored 30-plus points just once, their closest loss — a 58-31 loss to North Baltimore. Five times Northwood did not even score 20 points, and in the season opener at Evergreen, scored just eight points. There is only one senior and one junior in the entire program, and when the season started, there were 16 sophomores and freshmen. Yet, second-year coach Jim Scharer likes what he’s seeing. While driving to Northwood from his day job at Fremont City Schools, he is looking forward to practice. “I have to be truly honest — I’m very pleased with where we are in the process. I told my kids early in the year that this is a process. They will be put in the fire and fire can do two things — it can destroy you or it can bond you. I think it’s having a bonding effect,” Scharer said. “I’m extremely proud of them. The coaches after every game say, “Just hang in there,’ and I say, ‘I don’t have to hang in there, Coach. Let me tell you something, I have great kids. I wish you could come to one of my practices because the kids are trying to learn and they are trying hard on a nightly basis to get better, and that’s all I can ask.’ “They are in a very good place where they want to learn and every kid who wants to learn is fun coaching. It’s one of those things where it’s not been a grind at all. “I get calls from coaches who are in the stands who say, ‘I can’t believe how hard your kids are playing, especially when I look at the scoreboard.’ I just tell them,

Northwood sophomore guard Joey Woody (5) passes to a teammate. (Press photo by Don Thompson/ Picasaweb. Google.com) ‘That’s because these kids understand that this is part of life. If you experience adversity and if you fight through it, you are going to be better on the other side. If you just walk through life in a situation where everything comes easy, then when things do get difficult, that’s when people become quitters and the one thing I don’t have is quitters.’” Now, mostly because of injuries, Scharer’s program is down to 15 players. Freshmen and sophomores on the varsity,

including starters, often play a quarter of the junior varsity game, and the coach moved two more freshmen to the varsity because of injuries. There are six freshmen (Gavin Fritz, Evan LaPlante, Austin Krueger, Nick Bonnette, Donnie Nino, Caleb Price) and five sophomores (Dillan Cathers, Joey Woody, Scott Slater, Jacob Vickers, Jayson Johnson) who have gotten varsity experience this year. The junior varsity and freshman teams are garnering wins, the seventh grade team

was on a three-game winning streak, and a clinic is set to run twice weekly for grade schoolers. Meanwhile, Scharer says 5-foot-6 senior Dustin Sigurdson and 5-10 junior Stephen Sutton are setting a positive example for the younger varsity players. “They’ve really been leaders. They’ve worked really, really hard and they’ve almost had to model the hard work that it takes to be a varsity basketball player,” Scharer said. “The thing is, both of them, coming into this year really had no experience doing that, either. It’s been even more difficult for them, but they’ve both stepped up. The other kids had not even experienced the intensity and the difficultness of playing in a varsity competition.” Scharer, who starred at Clay during his playing days, believes he knows what it will take to bring the program back. “We’re trying to establish a little continuity throughout the entire school. It’s one of those things is it’s going to have to be a culture change,” Scharer said. “It’s going to have to be an understanding that basketball is one of those sports that is fun to play, yet it takes a lot of skills for it. It’s one of those sports where you can’t just be a great athlete. Scharer, who has coaching help from former Northwood players Erick Scharer (JV coach), his son, and Louis Farhrbach (varsity assistant), believes this year’s varsity may not finish the season winless, either. “I firmly believe that there is a chance to win a couple, or three games. In fact right now, we have to shoot the basketball better. When you’re shooting 20 percent, you’re not going to win basketball games,” Head Coach Scharer said. The head coach plans on doing what he can to keep interest high in the offseason. “If we can get them to realize that basketball is not just November through February, I really believe that if we have some kids who are committed to the game, that in a couple years we are going to be approaching where we are competing with every school in our league,” Scharer said. “I mean, I really believe that, and it’s a very good basketball league.”

Seniors Booth, Ramirez form solid one-two punch for Eagles By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A few free throws here and there, a clutch bucket there with some defensive stops or two sprinkled in, and Clay’s boys basketball team could be staring at a 7-9 record with six regular-season games remaining. Last Friday’s Three Rivers Athletic Conference game against visiting St. Francis de Sales, however, encapsulated much of the Eagles’ season. The Knights won 53-52 to sweep the two-game season series against Clay (2-14, 0-9), which lost the first meeting 52-47 in December. “We’re in every game, but you have to close,” Clay coach Rob Belegrin said. “It’s tough. Our defense has been a lot better this year, but our free throw shooting has not been good. The guys on our team, they’re good players, but they’ve never won. We play good basketball, but we don’t sustain it for 32 minutes.” Pat Booth, a 6-foot-1 senior guard, was the leading scorer (16.4 ppg.) on last year’s team, which finished 1-20. Booth, who is averaging a team-high 14.8 points and four rebounds a game this season, said the Eagles’ record doesn’t show their improvement from last season. “Over the last couple years we haven’t had that many wins and we don’t know how to handle those situations,” he said. “A lot of games we’d compete and lead near the end and we either turn it over or

doesn’t show it.” Clay has lost six games – to St. Francis twice, Fremont Ross, Lima Senior , Whitmer and Rossford – by five points or less. Even the Eagles’ victories, 66-61 over Waite and 66-59 over Northview, were nail-biters. “We’re right there,” said 6-2 senior forward Anthony Ramirez, who scored a team-high 19 points last Friday. “We just have crucial turnovers at crucial times. We’re in there the whole game, and at times we can’t turn it over. The mentality is, nobody really knows how to win. We’ve been there in football, too, where we don’t really know how to close stuff out.” Ramirez has been a big addition to this year’s team. He played in just four games last season but quit the team because, he said, of disagreements with the coaching staff. This season he scored a career-high 28 points against Rossford and is averaging 13.8 points and 5.1 rebounds. Booth and Ramirez average nearly 29 points combined for a team that averages just 48.6 points a game. “They have a nice two-man game going,” Belegrin said. “Those two guys are having nice seasons. Anthony is our No. 1 option and Pat plays off him pretty well. It’s helped Pat out tremendously this year. Anthony is our most physical player. He takes it to the hole with physicality.” Ramirez said he came back to the team this season because “it was my last year with all my friends and I wasn’t going to let something little like that affect it.” Booth said he and Ramirez talked “a lot” in the

offseason about Ramirez coming back. “This could be a lot worse without him,” said Booth, a two-time second team All-TRAC selection. “He’s a good player and a nice teammate to have. He makes it easier on me this year because he takes some of the burden off me to score. He has a nose for the game and he knows how to read defenses. A lot of our offense goes through me and him.” Ramirez said that, despite being Clay’s No. 1 scoring option, he’s more than happy to share the ball with Booth. “Me and Pat played a lot in the offseason,” Ramirez said. “We’ve always had that chemistry in pickup games and stuff. When Pat’s feeling it, I don’t try to take my shots. I try to get him the ball to score.” Belegrin said Ramirez’s presence in the post has enabled Booth to be more selective on his shots. Booth isn’t shooting as much as last season, but a lot of that is due to the fact that opponents are devising defenses to limit his options. “The physical teams - Findlay, Central, St. John’s - they beat him up,” Belegrin said. “They hold him, grab him and physically beat him up. He’s had his worst games against those teams. He is shooting a good percentage, and I’m proud of him that he’s having a solid season.” Said Booth, “Most teams know I’m the leading score from last year, so I’m getting guarded harder. Sometimes I have to adjust to the physical play more. As the season goes on, I think I’m getting used to it and playing around it.”

By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com The 1976 Cardinal Stritch girls basketball team, Class AA state semifinalists, was inducted into the school’s hall of fame at a banquet in December. That year remains Stritch’s only appearance at the girls basketball state tournament. The team was coached by Marianne Herrick team members were Sue Hardin, Barb Jaeger, Chris Galla, Jill Wlodarz, Kay McGuire, Sue Hoeflinger, Vickie Utter, Jan LaPlant, Amy Cooley, Sheri McQueary, Libby Lucas, and Cindy Donahue. Several of the players on the team excelled at multiple sports and continued their athletic careers into college and coaching. Sheri (McQueary) Kelly was a member of the girls varsity basketball team all fours years — co-captain both her junior and senior years. She received Second Team All City Honors her junior years, and her senior year she received All City Honors, All Academic Team, All District First Team, Most Valuable Player, Co-captain for the first ever girls state basketball tournament team, and was voted the Most Athletic Female in the senior class of 1976. Not only was she a four-year varsity basketball player, she was on the track team for three years and on the softball team her junior year, After graduation, Kelly attended The University of Toledo, playing basketball for two years. Cindy (Donahue) Brown (Class of 1979), an underclassman on the 1976 squad, kept the girls basketball tradition going. She earned 10 varsity letters, and All-City honors in basketball, volleyball, and track. During her junior year, she helped lead her basketball team to the Blue Division championship, a 1978 City Championship, and made it to the regional finals. The Lady Cardinals won the Blue Division championship in 1979, made it to the regional finals, but fell short in the city championship. In 1979 the volleyball team won the sectional tournament and was district runners up in 1979. She was also run-

Fourth-ranked Flyers have bull’s eye on their back By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com It was likely to happen at some point. The state’s No. 4 ranked Lake’s boys basketball team had never pieced together an unbeaten regular season in the school’s history, so the odds of the Flyers beating Eastwood and Rossford and every other team on their remaining schedule were stacked against them. It came true Thursday night as Eastwood took down the visiting Flyers, 71-63, behind a 23-point performance from senior guard Jacob Schmeltz. Lake coach Ryan Bowen thought it could happen. Junior point guard Connor Bowen and his teammates, however, don’t look at it like that. They’ve been programmed, so to speak, by Connor’s father, Ryan, to focus on the present. “Our goal all the time is to go 1-0,” Connor said. “We take every game like it’s a step-by-step process. If we win that game, we move on and prepare for the team we’re playing next. We just focus one game at a time.” At the same time, Connor said the Flyers (13-1, 7-1 Northern Buckeye Conference) realized that the longer they maintained an unblemished record, the bigger the bull’s eye became. In the Division II Associated Press rankings, they were alongside state powerhouses Dayton Dunbar and Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary. “You feel like everybody wants to beat us,” Connor said. “If they beat us, it makes their season and we don’t want that to happen. I’m not really that surprised. We put a lot of work in in the offseason. You get results when you put the work in, and we have a lot of team bonding going on.” The previous school record for consecutive wins to start a season was 12-0, set by the 1998-99 squad, so they got past that. Ryan Bowen, in his fourth season, led Lake to the NBC title two years ago but this team may be even better because of the chemistry between the team’s core players , juniors Connor Bowen, Jared Rettig and Todd Walters and senior Cody Witt. “These guys have unreal chemistry,” coach Bowen said. “I’ve coached four of them ever since they were little, with an aggressive style. They trust me and I trust them. That continuity helps.” Bowen has coached Connor, Rettig and

Lake guard Connor Bowen scores in the Flyers’ first game against Eastwood, a 52-49 nail biting Flyer victory. (Press photo by Heather Rettig) Witt ever since they were little guys, beginning with YMCA ball. “I’ve had a pretty good connection with all of them,” Ryan said. Having your father double as your head coach has its ups and downs. Connor and Ryan both admit to that, but they wouldn’t have it any other way. “It’s been like a rollercoaster,” Connor said. “All the time in practice, it’s always my fault and I can’t ever do anything right. That’s OK. Every time I do something wrong, he doesn’t keep it quiet. He makes

sure I get the point. I never win any arguments. It is the way it is. It just makes me tougher as a person and I just have to get through it.” Ryan said he is “hands down” harder on Connor than he is on anyone else on the team. “He knows that and does a very good job accepting that,” Ryan said. “I’ve been his coach a long time, and the No. 1 thing I can’t do is take it home with me. As hard as I am with him on the court, it stays there. When we get home, it’s time to turn into a

dad and enjoy our time together. (Parents) don’t get to see their teenagers very much. How many fathers get to spend a quality two hours every night with their son or daughter? That’s been a blessing for me.” Connor, 17, said he and his father talk hoops all the time at home. When they’re not analyzing film, they’re checking out NBA and college games. “When we get home, he talks about all the good stuff I did,” Connor said. “He doesn’t take anything that happens in the game home. When we get home, it’s always good from there.” Ryan added, “I don’t take it home because I don’t want my wife (Robin) taking it out on me when I get home.” Connor leads the Flyers in scoring (19.8 ppg), assists (8.9) and steals (3.8) and is tied for second in rebounding (5.5). He is shooting 35 percent from 3-point range, 54 percent from two-point range and 79 percent from the line. Connor scored a career-high 35 points against Bryan and broke his own school single-game record this season by dishing out 16 assists (along with 20 points, eight rebounds and seven steals) against Seneca East. Ryan said he’s a little surprised at how good Connor has turned out on the basketball court. “Growing up, he’s played baseball, basketball and football,” Ryan said. “Baseball has been his No. 1 focus. He really picked up basketball in fourth or fifth grade and it kind of came easy for him. We have a court in our backyard and he fell in love with the game and just enjoys doing it. A lot of kids, you might have to ask them to go play, but he’s always got a basketball in his hands. He’s an old-school point guard who is great at running our team.” Connor said he looks forward to one day coaching his own children. “My relationship with my dad,” he said, “is what I want to have with my kids when I get older.” Ryan said coaching Connor has been fun, but he also knows the family’s dynamic probably won’t end when Connor graduates next year. “Connor and I have had some ups and downs, but it’s been a joy,” Ryan said. “I have a younger son, Jase, a seventh-grader who is a point guard for his team, so I get to do it all over again.”

Rocket swimmers in good shape heading into the stretch run By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Coming into the season, Oak Harbor coach Andrea Sorg didn’t know exactly what to expect from her swim teams. She had lost some key contributors from the girls team but had a number of quality freshmen coming up while the boys team had most of its primary talent returning. Fast forward to the stretch run and Sorg has to be pretty pleased. Both teams have fared well in dual-meet action but most importantly, they’ve answered the call at the major invitationals and at the conference meet earlier this month. The girls were fifth out of 16 teams at the Oak Harbor Invite on Jan. 4 and, at the Sandusky Bay Conference Meet, the girls finished second. The success of both teams was a result of their depth. Eight girl swimmers (Taylor Byington, Taylor Weborg, Allison Schroeder, Elyse Hablitzel, Mary Greggila, Abby Mizelle, Brooke Tice and Noelle Petersen) scored points for Oak Harbor in four separate events and five others (Tracey Hanf, Amber Lazenby, Paige Priesman, Callie Brandt and Mikenzie Blunt) did so in three events. A few in particular stood out, most notably Tice, Priesman and Hanf. Tice was third in the 100 backstroke and fourth in the 100 butterfly and was part of two relay teams that finished second and third. Priesman, a freshman, was third in the 200 individual medley (IM) and the 100 breaststroke and was part of the fifth-place 200 free relay squad and Hanf was third in the 500 free, fourth in the 200 IM and helped the Rockets’ other 200 free relay team come in second. According to Tice, one of the reasons for the girls’ success this season is because of their chemistry. “The team is probably the closest we’ve been for a while,” Tice said. “We all know

Oak Harbor swimmer Amber Lazenby doing the breast stroke in a home meet this year. (Press photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/Russ Lytle/RHP) to be a great team that we have to stick together, so before any race, we get ourselves pumped up and ready to go. That’s what I believe has made us successful this year.” She believes the team’s unity was instrumental in helping the Rockets finish just ahead of a talented Port Clinton squad for second place at SBCs. “Throughout the whole day, we pushed ourselves to limits we didn’t think we could achieve,” Tice said. “So when I found out we had gotten second, I was proud of our team and hopefully next year we’ll finish first.”

The boys, meanwhile, finished third out of 14 teams at the OH Invite and were third at SBCs. A number of swimmers have contributed in various ways for the boys, most notably Ben Dresser. The junior, who was a state qualifier in 2013, has been brilliant all year long as he’s fared well in a number of events ranging from the 50 free to the 100 free to the 200 free to the 100 fly and is part of a 200 free relay squad that has a shot at making it down to Columbus. There have been a number of other key contributors, among them Michael

LaFountain (200 IM, 500 free), Isaac Bodnar (100 back, 100 fly), Tyler Johnson (100 free, 200 free), Alex Heintz (50 free), Nick Heintz (500 free), Curtis Priesman (relays), Ryan Decant (100 fly), Trevor Sievert (100 back), Lucas Greggila (100 breast), Zach Hess (100 breast), Bryce Buderer (diving) and Cooper Hicks (diving). LaFountain spoke about the reasons for the boys’ success this year. “Our practice routines have been tougher and stricter (this year),” he said. “In addition, this year’s seniors have really stepped up and taken leadership roles and, in turn, we’ve all worked better together as a team unit. “When we started the season, there was a large gap to fill from last year’s seniors. The team, as a whole, has definitely pulled through and turned this into a very good season.” Sorg has worked with helping the kids improve their strokes by studying them on tape. “The kids have worked hard this year and have really stepped up,” said Sorg, a 1999 graduate of Oak Harbor High who won four league titles in her heyday and was part of several relays that placed at state. “They’ve been receptive to technique tips and we’ve looked at film and tried to improve their strokes.” It’s a move that Tice and LaFountain feel has helped the swimmers make strides. “Seeing yourself swim can help more than any sort of demonstration,” LaFountain said. “That gave us a head start in critiquing our form.” “Watching ourselves on film helped me a lot because I am more of a visual learner,” Tice said. “So watching (the film) and seeing what I needed to work on helped me improve more and become a better swimmer.” The postseason tournament begins with sectionals on Feb. 8 and is followed by the district meet (Feb. 14-15) and the state meet (Feb. 20-21) in Columbus.

Gose hits game-winner Against all odds, five-foot tall Genoa sophomore guard Carly Gose scored the winning basket in the Comet’s 45-44 girls basketball victory over Northern Buckeye Conference foe Lake. It started with her steal of an inbound pass. “Carly’s steal was like what Larry Bird did against the Detroit Pistons back in the 1980s. If you’ve ever seen that game, it was like a repeat of Bird’s steal,” Genoa coach Mike DeStazio said. After the steal, while heavily defended and her team trailing 44-43, Gose hit a twopoint shot with time left on the clock, Even though her shot put the Comets up one, she missed the free throw, but played a role in making sure the Flyers did not score on the other end. “Carly stole the inbounds pass that was going to (Lake junior Jordyn) Taylor on the side court, dribbled down the court with under 30 seconds remaining and Taylor ran after her as she was attempting to shoot it," DeStazio said. “(Taylor) knocked her back, but Carly threw the ball up falling backwards and it went in for a (potential) threepoint-play (she was fouled). She missed the free throw and (Genoa senior) Brynn (Skilliter) got the offense rebound and missed the put-back. They (Lake) rebound-

ed with less than 15 seconds left.” “Taylor dribble around and we double teamed her and made her give it up to (Flyer Chloe) Huston, Huston shot a threepoint shot that was short at the buzzer.”

As Christians, it is all too easy to justify the neglect of our bodies as the result of our focus on more important things, such as the salvation of our souls. But, a healthy body is conducive to both morality and religion, and a frail or sick body can actually be an impediment to both. Furthermore, it is very difficult to have a positive attitude when we are sick, and ill health also tends to make us self-centered, since all we can think about is how poorly we feel. On his deathbed, St. Francis of Assisi apologized to his body, which had been ravaged by years of harsh and intentional neglect. He died at the age of

forty-five, no doubt in part because of this harsh treatment of his body. Consider what St. Paul tells us about sins against the flesh: "Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18) So, we should take care of ourselves and work on making our body healthy and strong; but, we must remain properly focused and not let our healthy body become a source of pride. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? New K.J.V. 1 Corinthians 6:19

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misundertandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
